See an ostrakon change working in the real thing, not only in tests - the pane in a live Claude Code session, the hub over HTTP, the phone app in WebKit, the hub's systemd unit. Use after tools/check.sh passes and before the final review of a change, again after review fixes that changed what was verified, and whenever asked to verify, try or screenshot a change.

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

# Verify a change

`tools/check.sh` proves the tests pass. This proves the change works where people use it: the pane in a real session, the hub over HTTP, the phone app in a browser. Do the parts the change touches, then write down what you saw.

**When:** after `tools/check.sh` passes, before the final review, so the reviewers see the evidence and a bug found here costs one fix. Again after the review only if its fixes changed something you verified.

## Rules

- **Never touch the real setup.** No real notes folder, hub, mirror, Obsidian vault, systemd unit or GitHub repo. Every session gets its own notes folder and no hub unless it's a test hub. The harnesses below do this; don't start `claude --plugin-dir` by hand.
- **Own names, for parallel runs.** Other runs may be verifying at the same time. Set `QA_DIR=/tmp/ostrakon-qa-<branch>` and `SCREENS_DIR=/tmp/ostrakon-screens-<branch>`, and start session names with the branch.
- **The engine's store is shared.** Claude Code keeps the mod's `$.store` and folder trust in your own `~/.claude`. `qstopall` says what QA changed there and how to put it back; report that, don't restore it yourself.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gaius-codius/ostrakon/verify@sha256:807fe10444ac7393

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.263026b, 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.
