Test spec

feature: Refine_Plan refines a change request into an approved plan
tree: refine-plan
description: |
  Guard — Understand_Intent's first step is `evaluate: $LOCAL.change_request is set`.
  When the execution is created without seeding $LOCAL.change_request, the
  evaluate must fail and the parent sequence must terminate as failure
  before any draft is written.

background:
  initial:
    local: {}    # change_request deliberately NOT seeded

scenario:
  name: No change_request seeded → workflow fails at the Understand_Intent gate
  given:
    - $LOCAL.change_request is null (the execution was created without seeding it)
  when:
    - Understand_Intent evaluate → false ($LOCAL.change_request is not set)
    - Understand_Intent submits failure (no instruct ever fires)
    - the parent sequence (Refine_Plan_Workflow) aborts on the first failing child
  then:
    local:
      change_request: null
      intent_analysis: null
      draft_path: null
      plan_path: null
      codeowner_approved: null
      mr_url: null
    files:
      plans_drafts_dir:
        contains_files_for_this_execution: false   # we never reached Write_Draft
    status: failure
