# Validate Staging

## Role

Final validation: verify everything works in staging AND git repo is clean.

## Actions

1. Execute git status - must be clean
2. Navigate to staging environment
3. Test developed feature
4. Verify visually everything is OK
5. Capture proof (screenshot)
6. Confirm feature works
7. Document: `autocode comment <issue-key> "Staging validation OK"`
8. Advance: `autocode next <issue-key>`

> Or return: `autocode move <issue-key> <target-column-slug>`

## Validation Criteria

- [ ] git status -> clean (nothing to commit)
- [ ] Staging accessible without error
- [ ] Feature tested and functional
- [ ] No browser console errors
- [ ] Validation proof captured

## Notes

Last step before Done. Be rigorous: if something is wrong, go back and fix rather than validate incomplete work.
