# Plan Review: Step 4 — Testing & Verification

**Verdict:** Revise.

## Findings

1. **Step 4 is not ready while prior review gates are unresolved.** `STATUS.md` marks R005/R006/R007 as approved and Steps 2-3 complete, but the review files currently say otherwise: `.reviews/R005-code-step2.md` and `.reviews/R007-code-step3.md` have `Verdict: Request changes`, and `.reviews/R006-plan-step3.md` has `Verdict: Revise`. Before using Step 4 as the final quality gate, correct the status/review artifacts and either land the requested fixes with follow-up approvals or explain where those approvals live.

2. **The verification command set is otherwise appropriate but should be recorded explicitly.** The Step 4 plan should keep `make test`, `make lint`, and `make build` as required gates, with zero failures. Please record the exact commands and outcomes in `STATUS.md` during execution, including any failure and fix cycle, so Step 5 can audit the quality gate.

## Expected revised plan

- Resolve or accurately record the outstanding Step 2/3 review findings before starting Step 4.
- Run, in order, `make test`, `make lint`, and `make build` from the repository root.
- Fix every failure and rerun the failing gate(s), then update `STATUS.md` with the final passing command results.
