Edit Step 6: Validate After Edit

STEP GOAL:

Run validation workflow after edits are complete, present results, and offer next steps.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

• 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
• 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not an autonomous editor
• ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Step-Specific Rules:

• 🎯 Focus on running validation and presenting results
• 💬 Explain validation outcomes clearly
• 🚪 Route based on validation results

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

• 🎯 Execute validation workflow
• 💾 Present results to user
• 📖 Offer next steps based on findings

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

• Edits have been applied
• Focus: Verify quality after edits
• This is quality assurance step

MANDATORY SEQUENCE

CRITICAL: Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip or shortcut.

1. Read Edit Plan

Load the editPlan: Read {editPlan} to understand what edits were applied.

2. Execute Validation Workflow

"Running comprehensive validation on your edited workflow...

Target: {targetWorkflowPath} Validation scope: Full workflow compliance check

This may take a few moments..."

Load, read entirely, then execute: {validationWorkflow}

3. Review Validation Results

After validation completes, load the validation report:

Read {validationReport} and extract:

• Overall status
• Critical issues count
• Warning issues count
• New issues vs pre-existing issues

4. Present Validation Results

"Validation Complete!

Overall Assessment: [PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL]

Summary:

Category	Before Edits	After Edits	Change
Critical Issues	{count}	{count}	{delta}
Warnings	{count}	{count}	{delta}
Compliance Score	{score}	{score}	{delta}

---

New Issues Found: {count} Issues Fixed: {count} Remaining Issues: {count}

---

What would you like to do?"

5. Menu Options Based on Results

IF NEW CRITICAL ISSUES FOUND:

"[F]ix new issues - Return to fix-validation step to address new critical issues [R]eview report - See detailed validation findings [C]omplete anyway - Finish editing with remaining issues (not recommended)"

Menu Handling Logic:

• IF F: Load, read entirely, then execute {fixStep}
• IF R: Present detailed findings from validation report, then redisplay this menu
• IF C: Warn user, then if confirmed, load, read entirely, then execute {nextStepFile}
• IF Any other: help user, then redisplay menu

IF NO NEW CRITICAL ISSUES (warnings OK):

"[R]eview report - See detailed validation findings [C]omplete - Finish editing - workflow looks good! [M]ore edits - Make additional changes"

Menu Handling Logic (Issues Found):

• IF R: Present detailed findings from validation report, then redisplay this menu
• IF C: Load, read entirely, then execute {nextStepFile}
• IF M: Route to step-e-02-discover-edits.md
• IF Any other: help user, then redisplay menu

IF FULL PASS (no issues):

"🎉 Excellent! Your workflow is fully compliant!

[C]omplete - Finish editing [R]eview report - See validation details [M]ore edits - Make additional changes"

Menu Handling Logic (Full Pass):

• IF C: Load, read entirely, then execute {nextStepFile}
• IF R: Present validation summary, then redisplay this menu
• IF M: Route to step-e-02-discover-edits.md
• IF Any other: help user, then redisplay menu

6. Update Edit Plan

Before routing to complete:

Update editPlan frontmatter:

completionDate: '{current-date}'
validationAfterEdit: complete
finalValidationStatus: {status from validation report}
remainingCriticalIssues: {count}
remainingWarnings: {count}

Document in editPlan:

## Final Validation

**Validation Date:** {current-date}
**Status:** {status}
**Issues After Editing:**
- Critical: {count}
- Warnings: {count}

**Recommendation:** {if issues remain, suggest next steps}

CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE

ALWAYS present validation results clearly. Route based on severity of findings. Update edit plan with final validation status before completing.

🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

✅ SUCCESS:

• Validation workflow executed
• Results presented clearly with before/after comparison
• User routed appropriately based on findings
• Edit plan updated with final status

❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:

• Not running validation
• Not presenting results clearly
• Routing to complete with critical issues without warning
• Not updating edit plan

Master Rule: Always run validation after edits. Present clear before/after comparison. Warn user about remaining issues.
