# Verify Stale Missing Hard Dependency Through Bundled CLI

## Test Type

- forward skill execution

## Purpose

- validate that a single agent can use `skills/repo-memory/` to record
  confirmed knowledge with a missing hard dependency, run `verify`, and observe
  the expected `stale` outcome

## Preconditions

- `skills/repo-memory/assets/repo-memory` exists and is executable
- the test runner can create a temporary Git repository fixture
- the repository fixture has a valid Git HEAD before verification starts
- the hard dependency path referenced by the entry does not exist

## Inputs

- `SKILL_PATH=/.../skills/repo-memory`
- `TMPDIR=/tmp/...`
- `DB_PATH=TMPDIR/repo-memory.db`
- `REPO_PATH=TMPDIR/repo-fixture`
- `MISSING_PATH=REPO_PATH/missing.txt`

## Execution Parameters

- one agent only
- per-agent timeout: `3m`
- overall timeout: `4m`

## Execution Steps

1. Create a temporary Git repository fixture under `REPO_PATH` and ensure it
   has an initial commit.
2. Ask the agent to use `$repo-memory` against `DB_PATH`.
3. Have the agent add one `confirmed` entry that declares `MISSING_PATH` as a
   hard dependency.
4. Have the agent run `verify`, then inspect the result with `list` and
   `events`.
5. Capture the agent summary and the final entry status it reports.

## Validation Commands

Run these from the main thread after the agent stops:

```bash
SKILL_PATH/assets/repo-memory verify --db DB_PATH --repo REPO_PATH
SKILL_PATH/assets/repo-memory list --db DB_PATH --repo REPO_PATH --status stale
SKILL_PATH/assets/repo-memory events --db DB_PATH --id 1
```

## Expected Outcomes

- `verify` reports one stale entry
- `list` returns the target entry in `stale`
- `events` includes a `marked_stale` event for the target entry

## Assertions

- the agent used the bundled CLI for the full verify flow
- the stale result is driven by the missing hard dependency, not by a generic command failure
- the final state is visible in both current listing output and event history

## Cleanup

- keep the temporary DB and repo on failure
- remove temporary artifacts on success only if replay evidence is not needed
