Deterministic Checks and Smoke Tests

Argus is built with system discipline around repeatability, validation, and reviewability.

In practice, that means the pipeline is designed to be tested against known scenarios, checked for expected outputs, and reviewed for formatting, artifact generation, and report completeness.

Public-facing principles include:

• repeatable stages
• reviewable outputs
• structured artifacts
• predictable report assembly
• validation before release
• clear human-review boundaries

The public docs describe the discipline. They do not expose internal smoke commands, scripts, local paths, provider names, or implementation-specific test mechanics.
