Postcondition verification
After acting, JARVIS checks that the result actually happened.
TESTED , rung 3 of 8 Recorded 6 August 2026
Technical
What it is
Postcondition verification: observed state is compared with the requested state before an action is reported as done.
Truth ladder
Where it stands
Rung 3 of 8: TESTED
Automated tests exercise it in isolation, often against fixtures.
Project record: IMPLEMENTED
- CONCEPT Designed or specified. No working code yet.
- IMPLEMENTED Code exists. Nothing has demonstrated that it behaves correctly.
- TESTED Automated tests exercise it in isolation, often against fixtures.
- INTEGRATED Wired into the rest of JARVIS and tested across component boundaries.
- PRODUCTION-REACHABLE The owner can reach it through the real runtime path, not only through a test harness.
- LIVE-PROVEN A bounded probe ran the real code path on a booted JARVIS on the real machine and recorded evidence. The project treats live evidence as expiring after 24 hours, so every live reading here shows the date it was taken.
- FORMALLY VERIFIED Its critical property is checked by a proof or exhaustive verification.
- RELEASE-QUALIFIED Passed every qualification gate for a named release.
Limits
Limitations
- A probe of the real code path passed and wrote evidence (2026-08-06), but it did not demonstrate a booted process on a real port, so the project itself refuses to call it LIVE.
