# /silver:verify - Work Verification

SB-owned verification. This absorbs the useful behavior SB previously took from
GSD verify-work/add-tests and Superpowers completion verification: check the
actual artifacts, not the agent's confidence.

## Output

Write or update `.planning/phases/<phase>/VERIFICATION.md` or
`.planning/VERIFICATION.md` for project-level work.

## Process

1. Display `SILVER BULLET > VERIFY`.
2. Read SPEC, PLAN, SUMMARY, REVIEW, VALIDATION, and relevant docs.
3. Check each acceptance criterion and plan task against actual files.
4. Run fresh tests or invoke `verify-tests` when the verification requires a
   broader test gate.
5. If coverage gaps are found, add or request missing tests before passing the
   gate.
6. Record UAT evidence, commands run, results, unverified claims, and residual
   risks.
7. File deferred non-blocking gaps through `silver:add`.

## Exit Gate

Verification passes only when:

- must-have behavior is evidenced;
- tests are fresh enough for the change;
- missing evidence is classified as BLOCK/WARN/INFO;
- BLOCK findings are resolved before ship.
