Load when touching bench/ in gentle-ai, adding or changing a journey, changing a product semantic a journey might pin, or diagnosing a bench failure in CI's Unit Tests job.
go test ./bench validates corpus declarations only. It does NOT execute journeys. The only driven proof is building the harness and the product binary and running the harness against it; a green go test ./bench claims nothing about execution..github/workflows/ci.yml and copy its exact build and gentle-ai-bench run --binary ... commands. Use --only <journey-id> to drive one journey.journeys_*.go file. The collision guard fails loudly naming both files; pick an unused ID by reading the corpus, never reuse a retired one.Review: — reviewOptedIn (the runner enables receipt-driven development globally before the first step, uncounted, and fails the journey if the switch does not come on) or reviewUntouched (its subject IS the switch, or it has nothing to do with reviews). The declaration is mandatory; validateCorpus fails the run without it. Never let a journey inherit the product's default: reviews are opt-in, and a journey that assumed otherwise measures a review-refused flow while still reporting completed.execute transition must carry a runnable command; the dead-execute guard fails the run otherwise.dead_end prints n/a unless the run actually measured one. Never fabricate a value to move the column.by_design exemption costs a shape from the closed vocabulary plus a verified quote of the product's own next-action text. If the quote no longer tells the operator what to do, it is a defect wearing an exemption.journeys_*.go file when the shared ones are owned by open PRs; bump the core journey-count pin in the same change.go test ./... in bench/ for declarations, THEN the driven harness for execution; both results go in the PR body.PR evidence includes the driven-mode summary line (completed / unsupported / failed counts) from a locally built binary, not only go test output.
