useCaseRef: usecase.validate-pull-request
bddScenarios:
  - title: Validation succeeds for conforming specifications
    given:
      - The pull request changes repository specification files.
      - All linked upstream and downstream references resolve successfully.
    when:
      - The validation pipeline runs schema, policy, and traceability checks.
    then:
      - The pull request remains mergeable.
      - Validation status transitions to Validated.
  - title: Validation fails for broken references
    given:
      - A specification document references a missing downstream test artifact.
    when:
      - The behavioral validation workflow executes.
    then:
      - The pull request is blocked from merging.
      - Validation status transitions to Failed.

      actions:
        - Publish validation summary.
    - from: Pending
      to: Failed
      on: check_failure
      actions:
        - Publish failure diagnostics.
assertions:
  - Successful validations must produce a traceability report.
  - Failed validations must surface the failing artifact path.
