Definition of done

A task is complete only when all applicable items below are satisfied.

Required

• Requested change is implemented.
• Smallest viable diff is used.
• Mandatory validation gates passed, or a waiver is recorded.
• Affected documentation/indexes are updated.
• A reusable lesson is captured when discovered.
• No unresolved TODOs are introduced without being called out.
• Completion summary ends with a concise gate recap.

Terraform behavior changes

For Terraform behavior changes, completion requires explicit plan-gate evidence:

• target directory
• exact command
• exit code
• concise diff scope
• explicit PASS or FAIL

If plan exit code is 2, confirm diff matches intended resources and attributes only.

Not done when

A task is not done if:

• validation was skipped without waiver
• known contradictions are left unresolved
• completion summary omits known risk or validation gaps
