Point
Validation and Checks close the write loop
Completion of an Atlas write requires resolved validation and verification of applicable required Checks, without universally requiring a stored audit report.
- Posture
- asserted
- Lifecycle
- active
Resolved validation checks the complete Atlas's structural and cross-record constraints. Discover local Checks through their status, level, and applicability, then complete the applicable active requirements against the actual change. Review evidence is needed where those requirements demand it, not because every edit has a mandatory approval stage.
Ordinary evaluation need not create a baseline artifact or stored report. This repository's evaluator can still produce formal audits. Failed, unavailable, or incomplete verification must be reported rather than treated as success. A no-op response does not require inventing a change merely to close a workflow; it also establishes no new compliance claim.
Checks and reviewWriters must distinguish actual verification from optional reporting and disclose incomplete checks.
