# Verifying Changes

## Recommended: Use Python verification function

```bash
python -c "
from chad.verification.tools import verify
result = verify()
print('✓ Verification passed' if result['success'] else f'✗ Failed at {result.get(\"failed_phase\", \"unknown\")}')
exit(0 if result['success'] else 1)
"
```

## Fallback: Manual commands with intelligent Python detection

```bash
# Detect Python executable (prefers project venv, falls back to system)
if [ -f ./.venv/bin/python ]; then
    PYTHON=./.venv/bin/python
elif [ -f ./.venv/Scripts/python.exe ]; then
    PYTHON=./.venv/Scripts/python.exe
elif [ -f ./venv/bin/python ]; then
    PYTHON=./venv/bin/python
elif [ -f ./venv/Scripts/python.exe ]; then
    PYTHON=./venv/Scripts/python.exe
else
    PYTHON=python3
fi

# Run lint
$PYTHON -m flake8 src/chad

# Core/unit/integration (visuals are marker-excluded)
$PYTHON -m pytest tests/ -v --tb=short -n auto -m "not visual"

# Targeted visual tests (only those mapped to files you changed)
VTESTS=$($PYTHON - <<'PY'
import subprocess
from chad.verification.visual_test_map import tests_for_paths
changed = subprocess.check_output(["git", "diff", "--name-only"], text=True).splitlines()
tests = tests_for_paths(changed)
print(" or ".join(tests))
PY
)
if [ -n "$VTESTS" ]; then
  $PYTHON -m pytest tests/test_ui_integration.py tests/test_ui_playwright_runner.py -v --tb=short -m "visual" -k "$VTESTS"
fi
# If you add/change UI, update src/chad/verification/visual_test_map.py so this stays accurate.
```

**Success**: Both exit 0
**Failure**: Fix all issues before completing

Never use `@pytest.mark.skip`.
