Test Evidence and Runtime Proof Are Different

Focused tests tell you what the exercised code paths did under controlled conditions. Runtime proof tells you whether the services, configuration, dependencies, and data flow cooperate in the environment users will actually run.

Record both separately in closeout notes. A test suite can pass while a Compose profile aborts before the live retrieval step, and a successful demo can still lack regression coverage.

The practical acceptance rule is to name the claim first, then attach the smallest proof surface that actually reaches it.
