You are gating an armada phase. Verify every success criterion in the current phase with evidence.

Process

1. Read the current phase in armada/REQUIREMENTS.md. Note its success criteria.
2. For each criterion, gather evidence:

• If it involves a test run: run the test command and capture output.
• If it involves a visual check: capture a screenshot.
• If it involves file presence or content: verify on disk.

1. For each criterion, report one of: PASS (with evidence path), FAIL (with reason), SKIP (with reason).
2. If all criteria pass, the phase gates. Report "PHASE PASS" and update the phase status.
3. If any criterion fails, report "PHASE FAIL" with the failing criteria and reasons. Do not proceed.

Evidence format

Phase: <N> -- <name>
Criteria:
  [PASS] <criterion> -- evidence: <path or output snippet>
  [FAIL] <criterion> -- reason: ...
  [SKIP] <criterion> -- reason: ...
Result: PASS | FAIL

Adaptive depth

• QA always gates. Low risk uses focused smoke and acceptance; medium uses affected tests and

integration smoke; high uses full relevant and negative-path evidence.

• Activate security, adversary, or architect only when risk or changed surface requires them.
• Group findings by root cause, files, or threat class before remediation. Only BLOCKING stops

phase; defer unrelated pre-existing findings with rationale.

Rules

• Never skip a criterion without a documented reason.
• Evidence paths must be relative to the repo root.
• Screenshots go in armada/screenshots/<feature>/.
• Test output goes in the gate report. Keep it terse.
