Definition of Done
Both Features and Work Cards can have completion clauses. Each clause states a distinct, testable condition and carries a stable clause identifier and a Spec Citation pointing to an addressable specification location. The citation’s provenance distinguishesmachine-found from Author-supplied. Human edits are visible in the recorded evidence; they are not silently treated as an agent’s original interpretation.
The Definition of Done describes the expected outcome. A repository Check, such as its declared test command, is one source of evidence and does not replace those criteria.
Clause-level evidence
The report appears on the Feature Card and in repository pull request bodies under Verification, clause by clause. Feature-level clauses appear first, followed by Work Card clauses in authored order. Each line identifies the issue and clause, its text, Spec Citation location, citation provenance, verdict, what was checked, and the interpretation used. Read the reason alongside the verdict.Planned relationship diagram

An independent verifier Route
The land Act uses a separate verifier invocation, routed under the authoring work kind. Its CLI, model, and effort Route must differ from every Route that wrote code in the Cycle. Starting a new invocation on the same Route does not meet that requirement. If no eligible Route remains or Verification faults, the Cycle stays unlanded and pull requests are skipped for that firing. Check routes and the recorded failure rather than interpreting a missing report as a pass.What Verification can tell you
Verification makes the judgment auditable. It cannot establish that the specification is correct or complete, that individually met clauses form a coherent Feature, or that the right Feature was selected. The report carries this limitation alongside its results. Anot checked clause still needs your attention even if recorded Checks passed. Inspect those gaps before relying on the Feature. A Partial Landing can carry an explicit report of unmet work and still be offered for your review; it does not turn missing work into completion.
Keep Spec Citation locations stable when maintaining the specification. Renaming or moving a cited location can leave references stale, and a past report does not guarantee they still resolve after a later specification change.
