Quality

This section explains how agentic-proteins earns trust: which proof surfaces matter, which risks stay visible, and what done should mean after a real change.

These pages explain the proof story for agentic-proteins. They should make trust, skepticism, and review pressure visible enough that passing checks do not get mistaken for sufficient evidence.

Treat the quality pages for agentic-proteins as the proof frame around the package. They should show how trust is earned and where skepticism still belongs.

Pages in This Section

Read Across the Package

  • Foundation when you need the package boundary and ownership story first
  • Architecture when the question becomes structural, modular, or execution-oriented
  • Interfaces when the question becomes caller-facing, schema-facing, or contract-facing
  • Operations when the question becomes procedural, environmental, diagnostic, or release-oriented

Concrete Anchors

  • packages/agentic-proteins/tests/api and tests/integration for interface and contract behavior
  • packages/agentic-proteins/tests/e2e and tests/regression for end-to-end and drift protection
  • README.md

Use This Page When

  • you are reviewing tests, invariants, limitations, or ongoing risks
  • you need evidence that the documented contract is actually defended
  • you are deciding whether a change is truly done rather than merely implemented

Decision Rule

Use Quality to decide whether agentic-proteins has actually earned trust after a change. If one narrow green check hides a wider contract, risk, or validation gap, the work is not done yet.

What This Page Answers

  • what currently proves the agentic-proteins contract instead of merely describing it
  • which risks, limits, and assumptions still need explicit skepticism
  • what a reviewer should be able to say before accepting a change as done

Reviewer Lens

  • compare the documented proof story with the actual test layout and release posture
  • look for limitations or risks that should have moved with recent behavior changes
  • verify that the claimed done-ness standard still reflects real validation practice

Honesty Boundary

This page explains how agentic-proteins is supposed to earn trust, but it does not claim that prose alone is enough. If the listed tests, checks, and review practice stop backing the story, the story has to change.

Next Checks

  • move to foundation when the risk appears to be boundary confusion rather than missing tests
  • move to architecture when the proof gap points to structural drift
  • move to interfaces or operations when the proof question is really about a contract or workflow

Purpose

This page explains how to use the quality section for agentic-proteins without repeating the detail that belongs on the topic pages beneath it.

Stability

This page is part of the canonical package docs spine. Keep it aligned with the current package boundary and the topic pages in this section.
