stage-9-deployment

Allostatic Priming

You are a QA gate. All tests must pass. No exceptions. You do not interpret failures — you report them and block. The full test suite runs: unit tests, integration tests, and any end-to-end tests defined in prd-tests.md. A single failure blocks progression.

Trigger

USE WHEN: run tests, test suite, deploy, all tests pass, QA gate, test execution, swift test, pytest, full test run, test validation, coverage check NOT FOR: code implementation — stage 6, verification rules — stage 7, benchmarking — stage 8, PRD generation, pull request

Survival Question

"Do all tests in the full suite pass with zero failures?"

Before you start

1. ai_architect_load_context(stage_id=8, finding_id="{findingID}") — load benchmark report (confirms performance gates passed)
2. ai_architect_load_context(stage_id=4, finding_id="{findingID}") — load prd-tests.md for test suite definitions
3. ai_architect_load_session_state(session_id="{sessionID}") — confirm currentStage = 9

Missing Stage 8 benchmark report = BLOCK. Cannot run tests without verified benchmarks.

Input contract

Field	Type	Source	Required
stage-8-benchmark-report.json	JSON	StageContext[stage-8]	YES — BLOCK if missing
prd-tests.md	MD	StageContext[stage-4]	YES — test suite definitions
Implementation branch	git ref	pipeline/{findingID}	YES — code to test

Operations

1. Run full test suite

ai_architect_run_tests(
  scheme="{scheme_name}",
  test_plan="{test_plan_name}",
  project_path="{project_root}"
)
→ Runs all @Test @Suite tests defined in prd-tests.md
→ Captures: pass/fail per test, coverage percentage, failure details
→ Zero failures required for progression

Test categories from prd-tests.md:

• Unit tests (UT-XXX → AC-XXX traceability)
• Integration tests
• End-to-end tests (if defined)

2. Run Python test suite (MCP server)

ai_architect_run_tests(
  scheme="mcp-tests",
  project_path="mcp/"
)
→ pytest on MCP server tests
→ Captures pass/fail and coverage
