Why a production check's assignment matters more than the executor's skill

A PHP/Go engineer migrating a live monolith into Go services argues that the quality of production checks depends on how complete the assignment is. In a sweep of 276 configurations, 184 returned empty results and were initially flagged as defects. Adding one condition, that some schedule types produce no tasks of this kind, reclassified those empties as expected behaviour. He argues that facts about how the domain works only enter a check if they are written into the assignment beforehand. He now specifies the single entry point, authentication and credential sourcing, exact request shapes, and the one value that counts as the fact for each link in the chain.
