Return to Requirements

Each approved script SHALL identify its expected outputs.

Part 4, Section 21.12: Script and Execution Requirements.

Expected outputs define the observable results produced by a script and allow contributors to determine whether the script completed its intended task.

Output identification also supports repeatability, review, cleanup, and distinction between governed outputs and temporary material.

This requirement applies to:

• approved scripts;
• generated outputs;
• build outputs;
• logs and reports; and
• repository modifications produced by scripts.

Verification SHALL confirm that each approved script identifies its expected outputs.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• expected files or artifacts are documented;
• expected logs or reports are identified;
• repository changes are identified where applicable; and
• unexpected outputs do not silently enter the baseline.

This requirement establishes the output expectations associated with approved Phase 0 scripts.
