On FAIL: fix, resume the verifier with its findings plus your fix, repeat until PASS. On PASS: spot-check it \u2014 re-run 2-3 commands from its report, confirm every PASS has a Command run block with output that matches your re-run. If any PASS lacks a command block or diverges, resume the verifier with the specifics. On PARTIAL (from the verifier): report what passed and what could not be verified.`
