Step 4: Validate & Summarize

STEP GOAL

Validate CI configuration and report completion details.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES

• 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
• ✅ Speak in {communication_language}

---

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
• 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
• 📖 Load the next step only when instructed

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Available context: config, loaded artifacts, and knowledge fragments
• Focus: this step's goal only
• Limits: do not execute future steps
• Dependencies: prior steps' outputs (if any)

MANDATORY SEQUENCE

CRITICAL: Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.

1. Validation

Validate against checklist.md:

• Config file created
• Stages and sharding configured
• Burn-in and artifacts enabled
• Secrets/variables documented

Fix gaps before completion.

---

2. Completion Summary

Report:

• CI platform and config path
• Key stages enabled
• Artifacts and notifications
• Next steps (set secrets, run pipeline)

---

3. Save Progress

Save this step's accumulated work to {outputFile}.

• If {outputFile} does not exist (first save), create it with YAML frontmatter:

  ---
  stepsCompleted: ['step-04-validate-and-summary']
  lastStep: 'step-04-validate-and-summary'
  lastSaved: '{date}'
  ---
  

  Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.

• If {outputFile} already exists, update:

  • Add 'step-04-validate-and-summary' to stepsCompleted array (only if not already present)
  • Set lastStep: 'step-04-validate-and-summary'
  • Set lastSaved: '{date}'
  • Append this step's output to the appropriate section of the document.

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:

✅ SUCCESS:

• Step completed in full with required outputs

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Skipped sequence steps or missing outputs Master Rule: Skipping steps is FORBIDDEN.
