# validate-delivery

Autonomously validate that a task is complete and ready to ship.

## Validation Checks

### Check 1: Review Status

```javascript
function checkReviewStatus(reviewResults) {
  if (!reviewResults) return { passed: false, reason: 'No review results' };
  if (reviewResults.approved) return { passed: true };
  if (reviewResults.override) return { passed: true, override: true };
  return { passed: false, reason: 'Review not approved' };
}
```

### Check 2: Tests Pass

```bash
# Detect test runner and run
if grep -q '"test"' package.json; then
  npm test; TEST_EXIT_CODE=$?
elif [ -f "pytest.ini" ]; then
  pytest; TEST_EXIT_CODE=$?
elif [ -f "Cargo.toml" ]; then
  cargo test; TEST_EXIT_CODE=$?
elif [ -f "go.mod" ]; then
  go test ./...; TEST_EXIT_CODE=$?
else
  TEST_EXIT_CODE=0  # No tests
fi
```

### Check 3: Build Passes

```bash
if grep -q '"build"' package.json; then
  npm run build; BUILD_EXIT_CODE=$?
elif [ -f "Cargo.toml" ]; then
  cargo build --release; BUILD_EXIT_CODE=$?
elif [ -f "go.mod" ]; then
  go build ./...; BUILD_EXIT_CODE=$?
else
  BUILD_EXIT_CODE=0  # No build step
fi
```

### Check 4: Requirements Met

```javascript
async function checkRequirementsMet(task, changedFiles) {
  const requirements = extractRequirements(task.description);
  const results = [];

  for (const req of requirements) {
    const implemented = await verifyRequirement(req, changedFiles);
    results.push({ requirement: req, implemented });
  }

  return {
    passed: results.every(r => r.implemented),
    requirements: results
  };
}

function extractRequirements(description) {
  const reqs = [];
  // Extract bullet points: - Item
  const bullets = description.match(/^[-*]\s+(.+)$/gm);
  if (bullets) reqs.push(...bullets.map(m => m.replace(/^[-*]\s+/, '')));
  // Extract numbered items: 1. Item
  const numbered = description.match(/^\d+\.\s+(.+)$/gm);
  if (numbered) reqs.push(...numbered.map(m => m.replace(/^\d+\.\s+/, '')));
  return [...new Set(reqs)].slice(0, 10);
}
```

### Check 5: No Regressions

```bash
# Compare test counts before/after changes
git stash
BEFORE=$(npm test 2>&1 | grep -oE '[0-9]+ passing' | grep -oE '[0-9]+')
git stash pop
AFTER=$(npm test 2>&1 | grep -oE '[0-9]+ passing' | grep -oE '[0-9]+')
[ "$AFTER" -lt "$BEFORE" ] && REGRESSION=true || REGRESSION=false
```

## Aggregate Results

```javascript
const checks = {
  reviewClean: checkReviewStatus(reviewResults),
  testsPassing: { passed: TEST_EXIT_CODE === 0 },
  buildPassing: { passed: BUILD_EXIT_CODE === 0 },
  requirementsMet: await checkRequirementsMet(task, changedFiles),
  noRegressions: { passed: !REGRESSION }
};

const allPassed = Object.values(checks).every(c => c.passed);
const failedChecks = Object.entries(checks)
  .filter(([_, v]) => !v.passed)
  .map(([k]) => k);
```

## Decision and Output

### If All Pass

```javascript
workflowState.completePhase({
  approved: true,
  checks,
  summary: 'All validation checks passed'
});

return { approved: true, checks };
```

### If Any Fail

```javascript
const fixInstructions = generateFixInstructions(checks, failedChecks);

workflowState.failPhase('Validation failed', {
  approved: false,
  failedChecks,
  fixInstructions
});

return { approved: false, failedChecks, fixInstructions };
```

## Fix Instructions Generator

```javascript
function generateFixInstructions(checks, failedChecks) {
  const instructions = [];

  if (failedChecks.includes('testsPassing')) {
    instructions.push({ action: 'Fix failing tests', command: 'npm test' });
  }
  if (failedChecks.includes('buildPassing')) {
    instructions.push({ action: 'Fix build errors', command: 'npm run build' });
  }
  if (failedChecks.includes('requirementsMet')) {
    const unmet = checks.requirementsMet.requirements
      .filter(r => !r.implemented)
      .map(r => r.requirement);
    instructions.push({ action: 'Implement missing', details: unmet.join(', ') });
  }

  return instructions;
}
```

## Output Format

```json
{
  "approved": true|false,
  "checks": {
    "reviewClean": { "passed": true },
    "testsPassing": { "passed": true },
    "buildPassing": { "passed": true },
    "requirementsMet": { "passed": true },
    "noRegressions": { "passed": true }
  },
  "failedChecks": [],
  "fixInstructions": []
}
```

## Constraints

- NO human intervention - fully autonomous
- Returns structured JSON for orchestrator
- Generates specific fix instructions on failure
- Workflow retries automatically after fixes
