Holodeck / Applications

Start with a real question.

Choose a bounded workflow and the behaviour you need to understand.

Replay the same command and verify that a protected workflow applies its effect once.

The question: Does retrying the same command duplicate its effect?
An approach: Replay an identical command identifier and compare the second response with the first.
Useful evidence: A trace showing whether the implementation applies the command idempotently.

Exercise retries, timeouts and cleanup without relying on production incidents.

The question: Does failure leave the service or its resources in an unsafe state?
An approach: Exercise a bounded failure path and verify the expected response and cleanup receipt.
Useful evidence: A reproducible failure case with the boundary and cleanup outcome kept visible.

Compare the original and repaired candidate under the same bounded conditions.

The question: Did the repair fix the observed violation without changing the test?
An approach: Run the failing original and changed candidate under the same case, driver and rig configuration.
Useful evidence: A bound comparison plus the required regression results.
