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: 10 Files to verify: ⌈10 × 0.42⌉ = 5

V4: Adapter sync (handoff — canonical vs .agent vs .claude)

  • RF claim: All 6 pairs byte-identical via SHA256
  • Actual: SHA256 hash comparison executed:
  • handoff.md: canonical = .agent = .claude = 8BA929E90DEEF7E92BFB6BF5114CC8A455889B327F93E03F33D1CF1A8A9F2EB8
  • review.md: canonical = .agent = .claude = DE410ADBB012A2E48AEAD204CBBEEF79E4014522893C9C1FE58986833E5BB633

  • Match:

V5: Document structure check (glossary.md)

  • RF claim: Terms follow established glossary pattern, no domain-specific examples, cross-references present
  • Actual: Each entry follows h3 heading + 2-3 line definition pattern. Evidence Plan references templates/TS.md §5. Evidence Collection references handoff.md Step 11. Evidence Audit references templates/review/verify.md, templates/review/judge.md. Evidence Status Vocabulary lists 4 statuses with one-line descriptions + cross-ref to conventions.md §3, §12.

# RF Evidence ref Artifact exists? Matches claim?
E1 glossary.md lines 58-80 (5 Evidence terms) ✅ — 5 terms present under ## Evidence Terms
E2 glossary.md line 48 (TD-2 fix) ✅ — reads RF §8
E3 glossary.md lines 58-80 (no domain-specific examples) ✅ — no mentions of screenshots, browser, curl
E4 Hash comparison (adapter sync) ✅ — independently verified via Get-FileHash
E5 .tfw/VERSION line 1 ✅ — 0.8.8

Knowledge Citations Verified

HL §7.2 has 11 citations (K1-K11). Spot-checking key items:

# Artifact Citation Link resolves? Item exists?
1 HL §7.2 K4 philosophy.md F21 ✅ — "Explicit N/A pattern transforms silent skip → conscious trace"
2 HL §7.2 K7 conventions.md §12 ✅ — Safety and Execution Honesty section exists
3 HL §7.2 K11 philosophy.md F13 ✅ — domain-agnostic principle

ONB §7 confirms all 11 citations read. Executor marked most as N/A (Phase C = documentation, not behavioral), K4 and K11 applied.

Checkpoint

Self-check: - [x] Opened ≥ 5 files and recorded findings? - [x] Ran at least 1 build/test command (or documented why not)? (Hash comparisons for adapter sync) - [x] Each RF §3 (AC) checkmark verified against actual file? - [x] KNOWLEDGE.md checked — contradictions with changes documented? (No contradictions — Phase C is documentation/sync) - [x] Knowledge Citations from HL §7.2 and ONB §7 verified (links resolve, items exist)? - Total citations: 11, verified (spot-check): 3, hallucinations: 0 - [x] Evidence artifacts from RF §5 verified (files exist, claims match)? - Total evidence items: 7, verified: 7, missing: 0
