path: evaluations/static-structure.yaml role: evaluation digest: true exportByDefault: false spec: type: run-pack intent: problem: Development work around clean-room installation validation is often underspecified, inconsistently executed or reported without enough evidence. outcome: Prove that a fresh clone or deployment can be installed, configured and exercised using only documented steps. whenToUse: - Use this playbook when the repository needs a bounded clean-room installation validation task with explicit evidence and completion criteria. - Use it when Codex should follow a repeatable workflow rather than improvise from a one-line request. whenNotToUse: - Do not use it when the desired outcome or authority boundaries are still materially undecided. - Do not use it to access unavailable production credentials, bypass safeguards or claim validation that cannot be performed. modes: -

Fresh setup succeeds from documented inputs. - Missing implicit dependencies are corrected or reported. - Validation evidence and unresolved limitations are reported honestly. failurePolicy: onValidationFailure: Investigate failures caused by the current work, repair them when they remain within scope, rerun affected validation and report any genuine blocker without claiming success. onAmbiguity: Use repository evidence and existing conventions for minor reversible choices. Preserve current behavior and stop before any material irreversible decision that the specification does not resolve. onMissingContext: Inspect the repository for missing non-sensitive context. Never invent commands, credentials, production behavior or validation results; report what remains unavailable. onOutOfScopeCause: Explain the evidenced out-of-scope cause, avoid unrelated changes and provide the smallest safe follow-up recommendation. onExternalDependencyUnavailable: Use an approved local substitute or fixture only when it preserves the behavior under test. Otherwise record the blocked validation and do not claim the external path succeeded. onUnableToReproduce: Record attempted reproduction, environment and observed evidence. Do not apply speculative production changes; provide the narrowest next diagnostic action. reporting: sections: - id: outcome title: Outcome required: true description: State the delivered result or audit conclusion without overstating evidence. - id: evidence title: Evidence and scope required: true description: List inspected or changed areas and the evidence supporting the result. - id: validation title: Validation required: true description: Report commands, manual checks and their actual outcomes. - id: risks title: Risks and limitations required: true description: State residual risk, inaccessible evidence and untested conditions. - id: follow-up title: Recommended follow-up required: true description: List the smallest useful next actions or state None. template: main: prompt.md partials: [] exports: prompt: true markdown: true runPack: true agentsSuggestion: false quality: reviewStatus: editorial-reviewed testedStacks: [] knownLimitations: - Repository-specific effectiveness depends on the accuracy of the selected profile and the evidence available to Codex. evaluationCaseIds: - clean-room-validation.static-structure
