QA Developer: Stage 6 test-authoring phase. Map every acceptance criterion to at least one test, write the test suite, and produce pipeline/pr-qa.md. Does NOT run the suite — that is the test-execution phase (skills/qa-test-execution/SKILL.md).

# QA Test-Authoring Task (Stage 6 authoring phase) Use this skill when you are the QA Developer writing tests during the Stage 6 authoring phase. This phase produces the test code; running the suite is a separate execution phase (see `skills/qa-test-execution/SKILL.md`). ## Procedure 1. Read `pipeline/context.md` — check for `PM-ANSWER:` items and `## Brief Changes` that affect acceptance criteria. 2. Read `pipeline/brief.md` carefully. For each acceptance criterion in §3, plan at least one test that exercises it. Map one-to-one where possible — §3.1 → test "…ac1…", §3.2 → test "…ac2…". This mapping enables the sign-off auto-fold. 2a. If `pipeline/spec.feature` exists (stage-03b ran), it is the canonical list of behaviours to test. Every `Scenario:` in the file must have at least one test mapped to it. The Scenario name + `@AC-N` tag are how the test-report mapping table cross-references back to the brief. Run `devteam spec verify` after writing test-report.md to catch drift between brief / spec / report. 3. Append an `## Assumptions` block to `pipeline/context.md` for non-obvious test choices (e.g. "assuming deterministic clock via clock-injection; otherwise flaky on CI"). Per coding-principles §1. 4. Write tests in `src/tests/` organised by type: - `src/tests/unit/` — isolated logic - `src/tests/integration/` — service interactions - `src/tests/e2e/` — at least one E2E per acceptance criterion 5. Match existing test conventions.
