# Deterministic Fixture Testing

## Purpose

Record the repeatable local test expectations for missions, evidence, simulation, migration, debrief, comparison, and Operation Packages.

## Current doctrine

- Fixture testing checks required fields, referential integrity, declared conformance, canonical export stability, component checksums, deterministic replay, migration field coverage, preserved unknown data, and valid standards/report links.
- The current machine result is published at `/fixture-tests.json` and mirrored under `/docs/standards/`; all 18 browser-local fixture checks pass.
- Same seed plus same choices is tested against normalized event records rather than display text.
- The project does not claim full JSON Schema Draft conformance unless a complete validator is implemented.
- Final release validation records static checks, rendered-route checks, browser interaction checks, responsive viewports, banner hashes, source/report hashes, ZIP integrity, and external SHA-256 verification.
