Check whether the outcome improved
Define the verified path
State actor, initial state, action, expected result, observed result, and release context for the path that can now be tested. Link it to the original report and identify any assumptions introduced during reconstruction.
Check nearby boundaries
Exercise one or two conditions that could share the same mechanism, such as role, input, timing, or recovery. Confirm expected rejection and fallback behavior, and record untested branches rather than labeling them fixed.
Match the resolution claim
Review the closure or release note against the checks. Say what was restored, under which conditions, and what remains uncertain. Ensure the original evidence request or unresolved branch remains discoverable if needed.
What to carry forward
Verification passes when the reconstructed path works, meaningful boundaries remain intentional, and the result is scoped to tested evidence. If the original outcome still cannot be reproduced, keep the item provisional and state the exact limitation instead of claiming a complete fix.
Keep the decision with the work.
Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
