New in v1.3
Three new rules (23-25) that formalize automated output verification and workflow tier management:
- Rule 23: Output Quality Gate -- Every iteration must pass automated QA checks before being counted as successful. Artifact existence alone is insufficient.
- Rule 24: Promotion State Machine -- Projects with test/staging/production workflow tiers get an automated promotion ladder. Consecutive QA passes promote; consecutive failures demote or halt.
- Rule 25: QA Report Archival -- QA results logged to append-only JSONL for trend analysis and regression detection.
Origin: Derived from OTR v2.0, where Iteration 5 falsely declared success and Iteration 6 was the first real end-to-end visual pipeline run.
Total rules: 25 (was 22 in v1.2)
