Release gate

Review both sides of a state-transition guard

Keep a passing authorized transition from proving the rejection path.

This checks both truth values of a state-transition guard and the rejected transition’s preserved state.

Inspect the decision, not just the summary.

Start with the invented evidence, follow the reasoning, and retain its limits when adapting the brief.

01 · Inspect the inputs

Every record stays visible

Inspect the invented case records
Starting state	Approval guard	Expected result	Current evidence
Ready	Present	Accepted	One matching rehearsal
Ready	Absent	Remain ready; reject transition	Unexercised

How the case leads to a decision

The same origin state and requested transition have two supplied guard values. One successful true-guard case cannot establish the false-guard rejection or its unchanged state.

The bounded result

The allowed transition is exercised, but its false-guard boundary is not. Add a ready-state case with approval absent whose expected outcome is remaining ready with a recorded rejection.

Make the release decision reviewable

Illustrative release gate

Synthetic planning case: A manual state model permits ready→accepted only when receiving approval is present. The only rehearsal starts ready with approval present; it reaches accepted.

True guard

Required proof: Start ready; approval present
Hold or proceed condition: Expect accepted

False guard

Required proof: Start ready; approval absent
Hold or proceed condition: Expect rejection and ready

State preservation

Required proof: Inspect resulting state explicitly
Hold or proceed condition: No silent intermediate acceptance

Decision to make: The allowed transition is exercised, but its false-guard boundary is not. Add a ready-state case with approval absent whose expected outcome is remaining ready with a recorded rejection.

Declare the guard and rejection state

Owner role · Model owner

Evidence: Approval presence is the sole toy guard; rejection preserves ready.

Create both origin-state fixtures

Owner role · Rehearsal owner

Evidence: The false-guard case genuinely starts ready without approval.

Inspect state after rejected transition

Owner role · Reviewer

Evidence: Evidence includes rejection and unchanged state, not just a displayed error.

The allowed transition is exercised, but its false-guard boundary is not. Add a ready-state case with approval absent whose expected outcome is remaining ready with a recorded rejection.

Approval is an invented model flag. The page does not assert native permissions, enforcement or authorization features.

Put the outline to work

Declare the guard and rejection state. Check: Approval presence is the sole toy guard; rejection preserves ready.
Create both origin-state fixtures. Check: The false-guard case genuinely starts ready without approval.
Inspect state after rejected transition. Check: Evidence includes rejection and unchanged state, not just a displayed error.

Questions about this workflow

Does an invalid-combination test prove this guard?

Only if it exercises this starting state, guard and expected unchanged result; a role/operation grid alone does not.

Can I infer rejection from no accepted output?

No. Verify the resulting state and rejection evidence explicitly.

Does this create tasks in the product?

No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
