hyv-verify

Verify a revised candidate against an original draft and portable profile without changing learning state. Verification is read-only; learning changes require an explicit learning command or a separately approved lifecycle transition.

Usage

hyv verify original.md candidate.md profile.json [writing-brief.json]

Behavior

• Deterministic and local-first: this command never calls a provider and never sends drafts, samples, profiles, or telemetry to a service.
• Strict by default: verification fails when the candidate has any active AI Editor finding, including an advisory or judgment-required match. An explicit Profile v3 disabled policy remains a deliberate user exception.
• Commands that write use an explicit output path. Confirm that path before running the command.
• This agent describes how to invoke the command and what it returns. It does not change command behavior or exit codes.

Handoff

Run hyv verify directly to execute the operation. For calibrated voice evidence, run hyv-strict-check before any lifecycle handoff. A passing verify report does not substitute for strict-ready. Follow-on agents: hyv-strict-check, hyv-lifecycle.
