Verify Bug Skill

[!IMPORTANT] Post-merge UAT verification workflow. Walks JIRA reproduce steps, performs comparative audits (Before/After), attaches evidence to JIRA, and transitions status on PASS.

Optional args: slug=, ticket=<id/url>, mode=interactive|autonomous|channel, channel=, auto_continue=true|false, profile=business|hybrid|technical.

Instructions

When the user asks to perform this workflow, execute the following steps:

Verify-Bug — UAT Audit

Goal: Prove a bug fix works in the UAT environment via comparative Before/After evidence, then transition ticket status.

Input

/verify-bug <jira-url-or-key> [--baseline-image <url>]

Workflow

Step 0: Pre-flight & Data Gathering

[!TIP] Sub-Agent Delegation: If your platform supports sub-agents (e.g., Claude, OpenCode, Gemini, Kiro), delegate steps 1-3 below to your JIRA Analyst sub-agent (e.g., @specialist-jira-analyst). If sub-agents are NOT supported (e.g., Antigravity, Windsurf), you must execute these steps yourself.

1. Parse JIRA: Extract Market, Reproduce steps, and Expected Result.
2. Resolve Markets: If multiple markets, prompt for scope (Full/Sample/Custom).
3. Fetch Test Data: Call Confluence for Test data - <MARKET> UAT. Parse credentials and module-specific data (e.g., customer codes).
4. Credential Check: Rule out expired accounts before starting sessions.
5. Fallback: If Jira/Confluence MCPs are unavailable, request exported ticket/test-data text and continue with local evidence.

Step 1: Comparative Audit (Execution Phase)

For each market in scope:

1. Environment Setup: Run the DNS probe from <SKILLS>/common/common-web-visual-testing/references/diagnostic-decoder.md; if it indicates VPN is required, connect VPN and retry.
2. Named Session: Start playwright-cli -s={TICKET}-{MARKET} or Appium session.
3. Walk Steps: Execute reproduction steps.
   • Hover Discipline: Always hover the target element (warning, button, price) before screenshotting.
   • Stability: Disable animations and mask dynamic fields (clocks, balances).
4. Verdict Determination:
   • PASS: End-state matches Expected Result.
   • FAIL: End-state matches Actual Result or original bug screenshot.
   • NEEDS-HUMAN: Deviates from both.

Step 2: Automated Failure Diagnostic

If the verdict is NOT PASS:

1. Run Decoder: Load common-web-visual-testing; if synced references are available, consult <SKILLS>/common/common-web-visual-testing/references/diagnostic-decoder.md.
2. Categorize: Is it a VPN NOT CONNECTED error? ACCOUNT BLOCKED? Or a genuine CODE REGRESSION?
3. Label: Add the diagnostic label to the JIRA comment.

Step 3: Evidence & JIRA Sync

1. Upload: Push screenshots as attachments to the JIRA ticket.
2. Wiki Comment: Post a verdict comment using JIRA Wiki Markup (orientation-aware widths).
   • Use 🟢 PASS / 🔴 FAIL badges.
   • Embed the most diagnostic screenshot inline.
3. Status Transition:
   • If PASS: Ready for UAT → Ready for Production.
   • If FAIL: → Reopened.
4. Walkthrough:
   • Use the Walkthrough Template below.
   • Update project-local docs/srs/srs-walkthrough.md.

Runtime Contract

• Use for post-merge UAT verification of a bug fix against JIRA reproduce steps.
• Required inputs: JIRA URL/key or exported ticket text with reproduce steps and expected result.
• Return NEEDS-HUMAN only when the end-state deviates from both expected and original-bug behavior.

Handoff Payload

• slug, operator_profile (carried, not re-inferred), verdict (PASS/FAIL/NEEDS-HUMAN), walkthrough path, diagnostic label, outcome report, next workflow.

Blocking Questions

• Ask max 3 at a time with a recommended default and 2-3 options.

Anti-Patterns

• No Sequential Runs: Verify all markets in parallel.
• No Unnamed Sessions: Traceability depends on -s={TICKET}.
• No Mystery Failures: Always include the Diagnostic Decoder result in FAIL comments.
• No Orphan Comments: Clean up "temp media" comments after posting the final verdict.
