Check Cross Layer

1. Identify Change Scope

git status
git diff --name-only

2. Check Cross-Layer Data Flow

Typical layers in this repo:

• Runtime / orchestration: apps/agent/orchestrator.py, apps/agent/runtime/
• Pipeline / domain logic: apps/agent/pipeline/, apps/agent/ingest/, apps/agent/retrieval/, apps/agent/synthesis/
• Persistence / modelling: artifacts/modelling/, fixtures, schemas
• Validation / scripts: apps/agent/validators/, scripts/
• Tests: tests/agent/

Checklist:

• Are contract fields consistent across code, docs, and tests?
• Are errors propagated intentionally?
• Are budget/paywall/citation guardrails preserved?
• Did fixture or schema files need updates too?

3. Check Reuse and Drift

rg -n "value-to-change|patternYouChanged|ConceptName" apps tests scripts artifacts

Checklist:

• Did you search for all usage sites before changing a shared value?
• Are there repeated dict keys, statuses, or enum values that should stay aligned?
• Did a helper already exist before adding a new one?

4. Report Outcome

Summarize:

1. Which layers were touched
2. What was verified
3. Any remaining sync risk between code, modelling artifacts, and tests
