Entrance
Target repository/folder.
A list of modified files.
Risk class change.
Local teams from TEST_PLAN.md and README.md.
Workflow
Gather teams of checks from:
TEST_PLAN.md
AGENT_WORKFLOW.md
README.md
First, run the code gate:
lint
type/static/security checks (if configured)
Perform test gate:
unit tests
integration tests
Run the release/smoke gate:
Smoke teams from the project
Process flaky:
flag
Do not count flaky-pass as a full-fledged green without project policy.
Create a single gate report.
Tough rules.
Do not declare GREEN unless the mandatory command is triggered.
If the command is not available in the environment, mark as INCOMPLETE, not PASS.
If the check drops, add the short root of the problem and the nearest corrective step.
