Keep the repair inside its reviewed scope

The test disappears

Botie’s patch makes the test run green by deleting a protected assertion. Inspect the changed files before trusting the result.

BOTIE

The independent test flag is true, but tests/required.py is deleted outside the agreed scope. What should happen?

This check uses the pieces from “Keep scope and verification independent”.

BOTIE

A rename moves tests/required.py to src/date.py. Only src/date.py is approved and independent tests pass. Predict the route after checking both names.

What result should your machine produce for this case?

Use a number, text, or an array matching the requested result. For a matrix, put each row in brackets. Saving your prediction runs your current construction on these inputs and checks the earlier examples too.

Build a construction in the workspace above first. This case will test those pieces.

Which files in your own project could alter the checks or permissions of future agent runs?

Your notes for later. These stay with this journey.

Review changes to verification and agent configuration as control changes.

These are invented records and deterministic policy checks. The browser runs no agent, shell command, MCP server or network request. Passing these fixtures establishes only the stated policy behaviour.
