write-manual-verification-plan

Write a numbered, resumable checklist for the checks a human has to run by hand, in a DAW, a simulator, a browser, or on a device, where every step gives the setup, the action, the exact observation to expect, and how to tell "nothing happened, as intended" from "the instrument was not running". Use whenever by-hand verification is the subject, not only when invoked explicitly: (1) asked what can be verified manually, what host verification needs, or what to test, (2) writing the manual verification section of a plan or phase gate, (3) asked to list or reprint verification steps, (4) receiving partial results in free text, such as "4's confirmed, skipping 5 and 6, 7 gave 1.0894", (5) someone is unsure what a step is looking for, (6) splitting a checklist across sessions or around an exclusive resource. Covers the step format, build confirmation, null-versus-broken controls, persisting to a plan or issue, resuming, and recording measured readings.
