Use when implementation on a branch is complete, tests pass, and it's time to decide how to integrate the work (merge, PR, keep, or discard).
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.

<process>
<step>**Verify tests** — Run project's test suite. If tests fail: show failures, stop. Cannot proceed until green.</step>
<step>**Determine base branch** — `git merge-base HEAD main` or ask.</step>
<step>**Check drift** — If a plan under `docs/bearpaws/plans/` drove this branch and no final review checked the whole branch against it, read each task against the current code and `git diff <base>...HEAD`. Passing tests and checked boxes do not show a task was built. Report only divergences: behavior a task names that the code lacks, a planned name, field or argument missing or hardcoded, a source change no task covers (tests, docs, release notes and the plan itself do not count). If there are none, say…

How to install
mdr add brandonfla/bearpaws/finishing-a-development-branch@sha256:f2c247370a18c4f4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.a0bb798, 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.
