Testing BGS Modpack Batches (judgment skill)

This skill answers one question: "It's installed -- how do I PROACTIVELY verify this batch before declaring the batch good?"

BB84's source material is thin here. That is part of the skill's operating doctrine: do not manufacture a giant universal QA checklist. Test the batch's intended in-game impact, preserve save hygiene, query KB for game-specific commands/routes, and mark [GAP — needs user input] when the substrate is silent.

The Iron Law

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| A batch is not accepted because the game reached the main menu. It is accepted only after the   |
| batch's intended in-game effect is observed in its target context, with no immediate local       |
| breakage, and without baking unverified state into the user's main save.                         |

Route gate (one primary skill per intent)

Use this skill when the user has already installed a batch and wants a proactive post-install verification pass: what to inspect, what commands/routes to use, what counts as enough evidence to move to the next batch.

Do not use this skill as the primary skill for adjacent intents:

User intent	Primary skill
"It crashed", "FPS tanked", missing meshes, broken quests, bad logs, or any failure already observed	diagnosing-bgs-problems
"Should this mod go in the pack?" before install	evaluating-bgs-mods
Define pack style, batch size, rollback boundaries, naming/separator discipline	curating-bgs-modpack
Enable/disable/reorder plugins or edit plugins.txt	writing-bgs-load-order
Inspect records, conflicts, or override winners	xedit-conflict-audit / xedit-automation

Terminal handoff: if proactive testing finds a failure signal, stop calling it "testing" and hand off to diagnosing-bgs-problems. A failed verification pass is not an invitation to improvise a fix inside this skill.
