Verify — "Are the claims true?"

Mindset: Auditor. The RF is a declaration, not a fact. Open files. Run commands. Compare claims against reality. Test: "If I removed the RF, would the evidence alone prove the work was done?" Mode: docs Min verify ratio: 0.42 RF files claimed: 8 Files to verify: ⌈8 × 0.42⌉ = 4

Verification Log

V1: .tfw/glossary.md (L144-148)

  • RF claim: "Iteration (Research)": researchN/ → research/iterN/, RES__iterN__*.md → research/iterN/RES.md. "iterations.yaml": "at task root" → "inside research/ subfolder", agent/sources optional fields added.
  • Actual: L144: research/iterN/ and research/iterN/RES.md confirmed. L147-148: "Control file inside the research/ subfolder" confirmed. agent described as "(free-text — which tool/agent ran the iteration, for traceability)" and sources as "(list — what source categories were consulted)". Both marked as "Optional fields". L150-151: "min_iterations" unchanged (config-only, no path references).
  • Match: ✅

V2: .agent/workflows/tfw-research.md vs .tfw/workflows/research/base.md

  • RF claim: "Overwritten with .tfw/workflows/research/base.md (Phase B output)"
  • Actual: Compare-Object returned empty output — 0 differences. Files are byte-identical.
  • Match: ✅

V3: .claude/commands/tfw-plan.md vs .tfw/workflows/plan.md

  • RF claim: "Overwritten with .tfw/workflows/plan.md (Phase B output)"
  • Actual: Compare-Object returned empty output — 0 differences.
  • Match: ✅

V4: .tfw/VERSION

  • RF claim: "0.8.5 → 0.8.6"
  • Actual: File contains 0.8.6 (single line).
  • Match: ✅

V5: .tfw/CHANGELOG.md (L8-18)

  • RF claim: "Added [0.8.6] — 2026-04-30 section with 10 changelog items covering all 3 phases"
  • Actual: L8: ## [0.8.6] — 2026-04-30 confirmed. L9: ### Changed section. L10-18: 9 bullet items (not 10 as RF claims) covering Phase A (5 items), Phase B (2 items), Phase C (2 items). All have phase attribution tags (TFW-42/A, /B, /C).
  • Match: ⚠️ Minor: RF says "10 changelog items", actual count is 9. Semantically immaterial — all changes are documented.

V6: .tfw/project_config.yaml (L7)

  • RF claim: "tfw.version: \"0.8.5\" → \"0.8.6\""
  • Actual: L7: version: "0.8.6" confirmed.
  • Match: ✅

V7: .claude/commands/tfw-research.md vs .tfw/workflows/research/base.md

  • RF claim: Byte-identical after sync.
  • Actual: Compare-Object returned empty output — 0 differences.
  • Match: ✅

V8: .agent/workflows/tfw-plan.md vs .tfw/workflows/plan.md

  • RF claim: Byte-identical after sync.
  • Actual: Compare-Object returned empty output — 0 differences.
  • Match: ✅

Discrepancies Found

  1. Minor: RF §1 says "10 changelog items", actual CHANGELOG has 9 bullet points under [0.8.6]. Not a DoD violation — all changes are documented. Likely a counting error in the RF narrative.

Discrepancy is cosmetic (narrative text, not AC-related). No escalation to 100%.
