Live-app real-user QA pass derived from the spec. Drives the running app via flow-next-drive, derives scenarios from the spec's AC / R-IDs / boundaries, files structured P0/P1/P2 findings with evidence, and ends with a YES/NO ship verdict receipt. Consumes `.flow/features/` navigation when present. Triggers on /flow-next:qa with a spec id. Runs user-invoked OR as the optional `pipeline.qa` stage of `flow --auto` (default off). Augments — never replaces — CI/staging/manual QA. FORBIDDEN from…

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

# /flow-next:qa — live-app real-user QA pass

Drive the running app the way an unforgiving real user would, with scenarios taken from the spec,
file P0/P1/P2 findings with captured evidence, and end with a YES/NO ship verdict written as a
`qa_verdict` receipt. The spec is the source of intent: acceptance criteria become scenarios,
R-IDs become the coverage table, boundaries say what not to test, decision context says what the
app should do.

QA is a cheap first live pass over the finished build. It does not replace CI, staging or manual
QA, and it does not fix product code: it files, surfaces and hands off. Findings are advisory; the
human reviewer and the land gate decide.

It runs when the user invokes it, or as the optional `pipeline.qa` stage (`off | on | auto`,
default `off`) that `/flow-next:flow` runs after all tasks are done and before make-pr. When
setting or reading that key, read [gate-selection.md](../flow-next-flow/references/gate-selection.md);
[`flowctl.md`](../../docs/flowctl.md) has the config row. Enable the stage only where
`/flow-next:prime` reports the app is QA-ready (seeded data, a documented dev login, a drivable
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gmickel/flow-next/flow-next-qa@sha256:4f5f6af45cb4a7c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.ad77f16, 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.
