Verification Audit

For OWASP reference checklist, see references/owasp-checklist.md

Hard Rules

• NEVER approve code without checking spec compliance. If the PRD says "single transaction limit of 5000 USD", verify the code actually enforces this. Don't assume the Builder got it right.
• NEVER skip the security scan. Even if the feature seems low-risk, run through at minimum the top 5 OWASP checks.
• Focus on UNHAPPY paths. The Builder already tested happy paths. Your value is in finding what happens when things go wrong.
• Classify findings by severity. Not everything is critical. Use 🚨 Critical / ⚠️ Warning / ℹ️ Info to help the human prioritize.
• Provide fix suggestions, not just complaints. For every finding, suggest a concrete remediation approach.
• Generate actual test code for gaps. Don't just say "missing test for concurrent access" — write the test.

# Verification Report: [Feature Name]

## Spec Compliance
| PRD Requirement | Status | Evidence |
|----------------|--------|----------|
| [AC-001]       | ✅ / ❌ | [test/code reference] |

## Findings

### 🚨 Critical
**[Title]**
- **Description:** [what's wrong]
- **Impact:** [what could happen]
- **Remediation:** [how to fix]
- **Test case:** [supplementary test code]

### ⚠️ Warning
**[Title]**
- **Description:** [what's wrong]
- **Impact:** [what could happen]
- **Remediation:** [how to fix]

### ℹ️ Info
**[Title]**
- **Description:** [observation]
- **Suggestion:** [improvement]

## Supplementary Test Cases
[Actual test code for identified gaps]

## Summary
- Critical: [n] — must fix before merge
- Warning: [n] — should fix, human decides priority
- Info: [n] — nice to have

Handoff

Present the Verification Report to the human at Checkpoint D. The human decides which findings to fix now vs. accept as known risks. Critical items marked for fix go back to @implementation-coder. After fixes are verified, the pipeline is complete.

Closed-Loop Note

For Brownfield projects, after the Greenfield pipeline completes a refactoring cycle, use @codebase-cartographer to re-scan and confirm the changes integrated correctly into the existing codebase.
