Documentation

README

Excerpt

Verifying a CLI change

The handle is direct invocation. The evidence is stdout/stderr/exit code.

Pattern

Build (if the CLI needs building)
Run with arguments that exercise the changed code
Capture output and exit code
Compare to expected

CLIs are usually the simplest to verify — no lifecycle, no ports.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
