Phase 1.5 Protocol

1. Read `acceptance.md` (Given/When/Then scenarios) 2. For each AC scenario → write one test function 3. Run tests → ALL must FAIL (implementation doesn't exist) 4. If any test passes → implementation has leaked → ABORT + report

Tests must be written so they:

• Fail with "function not found" or equivalent
• NOT fail with assertion errors (which would mean wrong implementation)

---

Behavioral Assertion Rule (Critical)

**BAD** — only checks it didn't crash:

func TestCreateUser(t *testing.T) {
    err := service.CreateUser(ctx, input)
    require.NoError(t, err)
    // ❌ Does not verify any behavior
}

**GOOD** — asserts observable behavior:

func TestCreateUser(t *testing.T) {
    err := service.CreateUser(ctx, input)
    require.NoError(t, err)
    
    // ✅ Verify user was actually persisted
    user, fetchErr := repo.FindByEmail(ctx, input.Email)
    require.NoError(t, fetchErr)
    assert.Equal(t, input.Email, user.Email)
    assert.NotEmpty(t, user.ID)
    assert.False(t, user.CreatedAt.IsZero())
}

**TypeScript example:**

it('creates user and returns persisted data', async () => {
  const result = await userService.create({ email: 'test@example.com' })
  
  expect(result.id).toBeDefined()               // ✅ ID was assigned
  expect(result.email).toBe('test@example.com') // ✅ Data persisted correctly
  
  // Verify in DB too
  const fromDb = await userRepo.findById(result.id)
  expect(fromDb).not.toBeNull()
  expect(fromDb!.email).toBe('test@example.com')
})

AC → Test Mapping

For each `acceptance.md` entry:

## AC-01: Successful login
Given: valid email and password
When: POST /api/auth/login called
Then: 200 OK with session cookie set
And: cookie has httpOnly flag

Becomes:

describe('POST /api/auth/login', () => {
  it('AC-01: sets httpOnly session cookie on valid credentials', async () => {
    const res = await request(app)
      .post('/api/auth/login')
      .send({ email: 'user@test.com', password: 'correct-password' })
    
    expect(res.status).toBe(200)
    
    const cookieHeader = res.headers['set-cookie']
    expect(cookieHeader).toBeDefined()
    expect(cookieHeader[0]).toContain('HttpOnly')
    expect(cookieHeader[0]).toContain('SameSite=Strict')
  })
})

---

Completion Verification

After writing all Phase 1.5 tests:

npm test / pytest / go test ./...

Expected output: ALL FAIL with "not defined" / "import error" / "no such function"

Report:

## Phase 1.5 Test Scaffold Complete

Tests written: 9 (mapping to AC-01 through AC-09)
Run result: 9/9 FAILING ✅

Failing reasons:
  - 6 tests: "Module not found: src/auth/login.ts"
  - 3 tests: "TypeError: userService.create is not a function"

Tests are ready for executor.

If any test passes:

## Phase 1.5 ABORT — Implementation Leak Detected

3 tests unexpectedly passing:
  - AC-02: login.test.ts:45 → PASS (should FAIL)
  
Cause: Existing code in src/auth/login.ts already handles this scenario.
Action needed: Re-scope SPEC or mark AC-02 as already implemented.

---

Test File Immutability (After Phase 1.5)

Once Phase 1.5 tests are committed, they are LOCKED. Executor MUST NOT modify them.

If executor asks tester to change a test:

• Tester evaluates if it's a genuine spec change (escalate to Lead) or a misimplementation
• Never silently update tests to match wrong implementation
