Compares noWorkflow before and after a change by running the same corpus through `now` on both versions — the outputs the e2e goldens cover, the behaviors the e2e tests pin, one store read by both versions and a new trial recorded into it (together, the store-compatibility check), and the vis routes each version serves — and reports what differs. Use when a change touches persistence, the models, the commands, the exports, the patterns, the resources or the vis server, when a dependency…

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

# Golden-run: the same corpus through two versions

Validates a change by running `now` twice — **before** and **after** — over
the same corpus, and comparing what comes out. It reaches what the suite does
not (`AGENTS.md`, "Blind spots of the suite"): two versions compared over one
corpus, the read commands with the flags `read_store.py` runs (its docstring
lists what it does not), a store of the previous version opened and recorded
into by the new code, and the vis routes as they are served.

**The value is in the control:** the same machine, the same Python, the same
versions of the dependencies, the same corpus and the same synthetic
environment; only noWorkflow's code changes. Without that, a difference of
interpreter, of a dependency or of the environment shows up as a difference
of the code, and there is no way to tell them apart.

## When it enters

- `review-pr` routes here a change under `now/persistence`, `now/models`,
  `now/cmd`, `patterns` or `resources`, a change to the vis server
  (`now/vis/**`) after `rebuild-vis`, and a change to the collector that
  changes what is recorded.
- `release` asks for it against the previous release; the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gems-uff/noworkflow/golden-run@sha256:0037aadfb63b4d2e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.2ff336b, 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.
