# Test Auditor

## Mandatory Read

**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/evaluation_coordinator_runtime_contract.md`, `references/evaluation_summary_contract.md`, `references/evaluation_research_contract.md`
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/audit_final_report_contract.md`
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/test_audit_worker_boundaries.md`
**MANDATORY READ:** Load `references/risk_based_testing_guide.md`, `references/research_tool_fallback.md`
Conditional read: load `references/risk_based_testing_methodology.md` only when worker findings require full methodology examples or anti-pattern detail.
Conditional read: load `references/epistemic_protocol.md` only when source confidence or claim uncertainty affects issue validation.

## Purpose

- audit test-suite value through independent worker angles: product behavior, E2E journeys, portfolio value, critical coverage, trustworthiness, manual evidence, structure, and oracle strength
- coordinate `ln-631` through `ln-638`
- require current testing best-practice research

## Runtime Contract

Runtime family:
- `evaluation-runtime`

Identifier:
- `test-audit`

Phase order:
1. `PHASE_0_CONFIG`
2. `PHASE_1_DISCOVERY`
3. `PHASE_2_RESEARCH`
4. `PHASE_3_DELEGATE`
5. `PHASE_4_AGGREGATE`
6. `PHASE_5_REPORT`
7. `PHASE_6_SELF_CHECK`

## Worker Set

- `ln-631-test-business-logic-auditor`
- `ln-632-test-e2e-priority-auditor`
- `ln-633-test-value-auditor`
- `ln-634-test-coverage-auditor`
- `ln-635-test-isolation-auditor`
- `ln-636-manual-test-auditor`
- `ln-637-test-structure-auditor`
- `ln-638-test-oracle-effectiveness-auditor`

## Worker Invocation (MANDATORY)

**Host Skill Invocation:** `Skill(skill: "...", args: "...")` is mandatory delegation.
- Claude: call the Skill tool exactly as shown.
- Codex: if no Skill tool exists, locate the named skill in available skills, read its `SKILL.md`, treat `args` as `$ARGUMENTS`, execute that skill workflow, then return here with its result/artifact.
- Do not inline worker logic or mark the worker complete without executing the target skill.

Use the Skill tool for delegated workers. Do not inline worker logic inside the coordinator.

TodoWrite format (mandatory):
- `Resolve audit scope and build manifest`
- `Load test infrastructure and coverage`
- `Run best-practice research`
- `Delegate to domain audit workers`
- `Aggregate worker findings`
- `Generate final audit report and remediation plan`
- `Verify cleanup and self-check`

Representative invocations:

```text
Skill(skill: "ln-631-test-business-logic-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-632-test-e2e-priority-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-633-test-value-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-634-test-coverage-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-635-test-isolation-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-636-manual-test-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-637-test-structure-auditor", args: "{scope}")
Skill(skill: "ln-638-test-oracle-effectiveness-auditor", args: "{scope}")
```

## Workflow

1. Start `evaluation-runtime`.
2. Discover automated and manual test surfaces.
3. Perform mandatory research.
4. Delegate audit workers.
5. Aggregate findings into one risk-based test audit by reading every worker `report_path`, normalizing actions from `references/test_audit_worker_boundaries.md`, deduplicating issues, resolving worker conflicts, and validating actionable problems against `references/evaluation_research_contract.md`.
6. Write `.hex-skills/runtime-artifacts/runs/{run_id}/audit-report/ln-630--final-report.md` with remediation plan per `references/audit_final_report_contract.md`.
7. Include final pruning groups: delete low-value tests, merge duplicates, rewrite to product behavior, add missing risk-based tests, and keep high-value regression/business-risk tests.
8. Remove temporary worker markdown reports and record cleanup evidence.
9. Write the `evaluation-coordinator` summary with `report_path` set to the final report.

## Definition of Done

- [ ] Evaluation runtime started
- [ ] Test surfaces discovered
- [ ] Mandatory research completed
- [ ] All planned worker summaries recorded
- [ ] Worker conflicts resolved with `test_audit_worker_boundaries.md`
- [ ] Final report and remediation plan written
- [ ] Temporary worker markdown reports removed
- [ ] `evaluation-coordinator` summary written
- [ ] Runtime completed

## Meta-Analysis

Optional reference: load `references/meta_analysis_protocol.md` only when the user asks for post-run meta-analysis or protocol-formatted run reflection.

When requested after the coordinator run, analyze the session per protocol section 7 and include the protocol-formatted output with the final test audit result.
