# Verification Before Completion

## Overview

Ensures no step or phase is declared complete without running verification. All success criteria must be met before finishing.

## When to Use

- After each implementation step
- At phase checkpoints
- Before final completion declaration
- When validating that all acceptance criteria are met

## Verification Checklist

1. All automated tests pass
2. Manual verification steps confirmed
3. Code review completed (APPROVE or APPROVE_WITH_NITS)
4. Security review passed
5. Plan document updated with completion status
6. All success criteria from the plan are satisfied
7. No untracked deviations from the plan

## Key Rules

- Never declare done without running verification
- Document any verification failures
- Verification failures halt progress until resolved

## Tool Use
