scripts/verify.sh — bash E2E smoke that proves 'v1 works' without a browser.
8 sections (preflight, stack-up, mcp-stdio, ingest-via-mcp, ui-shows-it,
drive-cycle, cleanup, summary); exits non-zero on first failure. Drives
phase transitions via direct SQL to bypass the orchestrator worker's claim
loop. Cleans up its own rows so re-runs are idempotent.
scripts/_verify_mcp_helper.py — Python MCP stdio helper used by verify.sh.
Drives python -m damascus.mcp_server via the official mcp SDK client and
frames the JSON-RPC handshake + tools/list + ingest_story so bash does
not have to manage Content-Length headers or heredoc framing.
docs/VERIFICATION.md — <1 page runnable-by-hand recipe plus architecture
notes (token source, MCP upstream DNS, why direct SQL, failure modes).
Verified end-to-end: bash scripts/verify.sh exits 0 against the live stack
(7/7 sections green; log at .hermes/evidence/p6a/verify.log, gitignored).
tests/contract + tests/unit still 56/56 green.
