- At phase checkpoints

- Before final completion declaration

- When validating that all acceptance criteria are met

## Verification Checklist

1. All automated tests pass

2. Manual verification steps confirmed

3. Code review completed (APPROVE or APPROVE_WITH_NITS)

4. Security review passed

5. Plan document updated with completion status

6. All success criteria from the plan are satisfied

7. No untracked deviations from the plan

## Key Rules

- Never declare done without running verification

- Document any verification failures

- Verification failures halt progress until resolved

## Tool Use

Integrated into `methodologies/rpikit/rpikit-implement` (step execution and completion)
