Verification Evidence Gate

Verification Evidence Gate

Role

Deprecated compatibility shim for strict evidence-before-completion policy.

Active strict evidence policy is owned by completion-verifier, scripts/verification-plane.mjs, scripts/lib/verification-plane.mjs, and scripts/runtime-state.mjs assess-completion. New workflow defaults do not insert this skill directly.

When to use

• Only for legacy compatibility when an older bundle explicitly calls verification-evidence-gate.
• Prefer completion-verifier for current Verify stage assembly.

Inputs

• analysisContext.signals.workflowProfile
• analysisContext.signals.allowIndeterminate
• completionStatus.* (if present)
• analysisContext.notes
• analysisContext.artifacts.verificationContractPath
• Latest verifier verdict artifact, especially verdict.workflowEvidence.*

Gate logic

1. If invoked, delegate policy evaluation to the current completion-verifier output.
2. Treat completionStatus.gateDecision != pass, stale evidence, or missing required checks as blocked.
3. Do not create an independent completion authority decision from this shim.

Output (patch)

notes:
  - "verification-evidence-gate: passed (strict)"
completionStatus:
  gateDecision: pass

Blocked example:

completionStatus:
  gateDecision: failed
notes:
  - "verification-evidence-gate: blocked (missing fresh evidence)"
missingInfo:
  - category: verification-evidence
    priority: HIGH
    question: "Please run and report the required verification command output before completion."
    reason: "Strict profile requires evidence before completion claims."

Rules

• Do not claim success when this gate is blocked.
• Do not duplicate completion-verifier, verification-plane, or runtime-state policy here.
• Do not accept stale or inferred verification.
• This gate is policy-only and does not edit source code.
