Step 5: Validate & Complete

STEP GOAL

Validate ATDD outputs and provide a completion summary.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES

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

---

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

Use checklist.md to validate:

• Prerequisites satisfied
• Test files created correctly
• Checklist matches acceptance criteria
• Tests are designed to fail before implementation
• CLI sessions cleaned up (no orphaned browsers)
• Temp artifacts stored in {test_artifacts}/ not random locations

Fix any gaps before completion.

---

2. Polish Output

Before finalizing, review the complete output document for quality:

1. Remove duplication: Progressive-append workflow may have created repeated sections — consolidate
2. Verify consistency: Ensure terminology, risk scores, and references are consistent throughout
3. Check completeness: All template sections should be populated or explicitly marked N/A
4. Format cleanup: Ensure markdown formatting is clean (tables aligned, headers consistent, no orphaned references)

---

3. Completion Summary

Report:

• Test files created
• Checklist output path
• Key risks or assumptions
• Next recommended workflow (e.g., implementation or automate)

---

4. Save Progress

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

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

  ---
  stepsCompleted: ['step-05-validate-and-complete']
  lastStep: 'step-05-validate-and-complete'
  lastSaved: '{date}'
  ---
  

  Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.

• If {outputFile} already exists, update:

  • Add 'step-05-validate-and-complete' to stepsCompleted array (only if not already present)
  • Set lastStep: 'step-05-validate-and-complete'
  • Set lastSaved: '{date}'
  • Append this step's output to the appropriate section.

🚨 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.
