Run the heavier pre-apply verification harness for a SENSITIVE change, one that is gate-blind on correctness (a fit or semantic property no existence gate can check), delicate at scale (a wide reshape or bulk mapping where a hand-edit is itself a defect risk), and costly to get wrong (a cited or downstream-relied-on artefact). Use before applying such a change, when the maintainer directs absolute-integrity rechecking, or when resuming a sensitive item left open in the register. It composes…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# High-Assurance Verification (the sensitive-change harness)

## Project wiring (the parent library's instantiation; adopters substitute their own)

Portable procedure, concrete names. In the parent GRC library this skill runs with:

- Persistent register: the high-assurance register in the consuming project's working state, one row per sensitive item (the item, which trigger conditions make it sensitive, the stages run and their outcomes, the status). Open rows (`pending` / `in-progress` / `deferred`) are surfaced at session resume by the `/orch` command alongside the other standing registers, so an item survives a session boundary.
- Motivating case: adding a control-framework column to the compliance matrix, where each cell carries a control code whose fit no existence gate can check.
- Cadenced companion on matrix changes: the `/matrix-fit` semantic-fit audit (this harness at apply time, the cadence as the closing check).

An adopting project maps each bullet to its own register location, resume-surfacing mechanism, and companion cadences; the procedure below refers to them generically.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jposluns/grc_library/high-assurance-verification@sha256:552174a44ab33fe1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260818.26434dc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
