Prove the completed change against every acceptance check in SPEC.md and the full DeepReason gate, producing VALIDATION.md. Use when every CHECKLIST.md step is checked. Validates only; never patches.

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

# Validate the change

Input: SPEC.md's acceptance checks + the finished checklist. Output:
VALIDATION.md with verdict PASS or FAIL. You run checks and record
outcomes. You do not fix anything — a failure routes back to
re-planning with evidence, which is cheaper than a hidden patch that
invalidates the checklist's audit trail.

## Procedure

1. Re-read REQUEST.md, SPEC.md, CHECKLIST.md in full. Yes, again —
   this is the phase that catches forgotten requirements, and it can
   only catch what it re-reads.
2. Run EVERY acceptance check in SPEC.md, in item order, even ones a
   checklist step already ran — steps prove local progress; this
   phase proves the assembled whole. Paste each real output.
3. Run the regression ring: the full gate
   (`pytest tests/ -q -n 4`) must end **0 failed**. A failure you
   caused is a FAIL verdict; a pre-existing failure you can prove
   pre-dates the change (`git stash` → rerun → `git stash pop`) is
   recorded as such and does not block, but goes to PARKED.md.
4. Behavior-preservation spot-check: if the change touched a reader
   or validator of the append-only record, re-run `verify_root` on
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahepi/deepreason/dr-validate-change@sha256:f8fb987cdf528cf7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.5683bc4, 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.
