Case

The agent says "done" but a criterion is not met

The agent reported the work finished, but a criterion has no proof, or its test is failing.

For: Tester, Team developer, Product owner

What happened

The agent reported every criterion as met and moved the story on. The feature does not actually do one of the things it should.

Why it happens

An agent's "met" is a claim. Without a test or a person checking it, nothing stops the claim from being wrong.

What Corpole does

  • Refuses a "met" report without evidence.
  • Shows an agent's unverified "met" as "Agent-reported, not verified"; only a passing test or a person verifies it.
  • Keeps a story out of Done while a covered criterion is not verified, or while a linked test fails (advisory or enforced, per tenant setting).

What you do

  1. Open the requirement and look at each criterion's status and evidence.
  2. Link a test to the criterion, or verify it yourself, or mark it Not met.
  3. Send the story back to the agent with the failing criterion's code.

Keep it from happening again

  • Ask agents to register a test for every criterion (propose_test_case) so CI decides, not the agent.
  • Set the Done gate to Enforced in the tenant's work settings.
