### Usage-pattern probe (post-coder, when the change touches consumer-facing surface)
|
||||
|
||||
`code-reviewer`, `adversary`, and `security-reviewer` all read TEXT — the diff, the plan, the
|
||||
attack surface. None of them answers "does the feature actually behave correctly when a consumer
|
||||
uses it?" Spawn `probe` when the change touches consumer-facing surface. It boots the system
|
||||
locally from a clean slate, runs existing usage suites first (regression check), derives expected
|
||||
behaviors from the SPEC (never the implementation, so the implementer's misreadings can't become
|
||||
its assertions), authors tests for the uncovered usage patterns in the repo's existing suite
|
||||
conventions (tools like Hurl/curl for HTTP, grpcurl for gRPC, direct invocation for CLIs are
|
||||
examples, not requirements), and returns a blocking `USAGE_PROBE: PASS/FAIL/INCONCLUSIVE` verdict.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to spawn it** — ANY of these:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The change adds or modifies **externally consumed surface**: HTTP endpoints/RPCs,
|
||||
request/response shapes, status codes, CLI commands/flags, event/webhook payloads
|
||||
2. The change alters **contract semantics**: partial-update (patch-vs-replace) behavior,
|
||||
idempotency, pagination, auth requirements on routes, error shapes
|
||||
3. **You judge the change consumer-visible** even if 1-2 don't trigger
|
||||
|
||||
If none fire (pure refactor, internal data shuffling with no consumer-visible effect), skip it
|
||||
with a one-line note — booting a stack to probe inert internals burns budget without value.
|
||||
|
||||
**Spawn pattern** (the prompt IS its whole context — include the spec AND the local-run recipe):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent__spawn --agent probe --prompt "Probe the changed surface from the consumer's perspective. Return PASS/FAIL/INCONCLUSIVE.
|
||||
|
||||
CHANGE: run get_diff (or --base <ref>), or: <paste the changed-surface summary>
|
||||
|
||||
SPEC — expected behavior to verify against:
|
||||
<paste acceptance criteria + API contract sections (or contract file paths) VERBATIM>
|
||||
|
||||
LOCAL-RUN RECIPE: <how to boot the stack clean — build, deps/stubs, ports, migrations, teardown — or where the recipe lives>
|
||||
|
||||
EXISTING SUITES: <paths + run commands, or 'discover them'>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Handling probe findings
|
||||
|
||||
- **`USAGE_PROBE: FAIL` blocks completion.** Do not mark the task done. Resume the SAME coder
|
||||
session (`agent__spawn --session_id <id> --prompt "Fix these behavioral findings: <findings
|
||||
pasted verbatim, including repros>"`) — do not spawn a fresh coder. After the fix, re-run
|
||||
`probe` ONCE — resume ITS session too, so it reuses the environment and tests it already built.
|
||||
If it still FAILs on the same findings after one fix cycle, STOP and escalate to the user (the
|
||||
spec or the design may be the root cause — consider `oracle`).
|
||||
- **`USAGE_PROBE: PASS`** — proceed. Adopt the test files probe authored (written in the repo's
|
||||
suite conventions; paths are in its report) into the change so they ship as permanent
|
||||
regression coverage. Surface any stale-test or recipe observations to the user.
|
||||
- **`USAGE_PROBE: INCONCLUSIVE`** — the ENVIRONMENT, not the code, is the blocker. Never treat it
|
||||
as PASS or FAIL. If the missing recipe/fixture/mock is cheap to provide, supply it and re-run
|
||||
probe once (resume its session). Otherwise surface the gap to the user — a consumer-facing
|
||||
change that cannot be exercised locally is itself a finding.
|
||||
- **Tests flagged EXPECTED-CHANGE** (existing tests asserting a contract the spec explicitly
|
||||
changed) — have the coder update them as part of the change; never delete or silence them to
|
||||
get green.
|
||||
|
||||
Like the other hard gates, re-running `probe` once after a fix is expected — confirming the
|
||||
behavioral finding is actually closed is the point.
|
||||
|
||||
### Observability pass (post-coder, advisory — when the change adds operational surface)
