# Spec-Derived Scenario Cards — Design
Date: 2026-07-04
Status: draft — adversarially reviewed (2x opus, findings folded in); one
decision open for Jesse at spec review: the card-author role boundary
(flag-only vs flag-then-fix-via-TDD). The spec is written flag-only.
Status: approved (design review with Jesse 2026-07-04; adversarially
reviewed 2x opus, findings folded in; role boundary decided by Jesse:
flag-only)
Builds on: `2026-07-04-agentic-end-to-end-testing-design.md` (the skill this
extends; same branch)

- **Coverage check:** every user-facing claim in the spec maps to a card or
a stated exclusion with a reason.
- **Role boundary:** the card author never modifies product code, test code,
or existing cards' assertions. A failing card plus root cause is the
deliverable, not a fix. (Open for Jesse at spec review: widen to "flag,
then fix via TDD." The 2026-07-04 experiment shows why ambient norms do
not decide this consistently: given the same failing card, one author
fixed and one declined.)
- **Role boundary (decided):** the card author never modifies product code,
test code, or existing cards' assertions. A failing card plus root cause
is the deliverable, not a fix. Rationale: agents get one mandate, not two
— the agent that finds an issue must not be responsible for the issue
being solved. (The 2026-07-04 experiment shows why this must be stated:
ambient norms split — given the same failing card, one author fixed and
one declined.)
