Constraint Pre-flight Verification FAQs

Question 1

What problem does the constraint-preflight skill solve?

Accepted Answer

It prevents the common 'implemented but not registered' bug where a constraint is coded and tested in isolation but forgotten during registration in the central manager, making it invisible to the scheduler.

Question 2

Can I use this for any scheduling project?

Accepted Answer

While specifically tailored for the Autonomous-Assignment-Program-Manager repository, its logic serves as a best-practice blueprint for any system using a factory pattern for business rules.

Question 3

Which factory methods does it verify?

Accepted Answer

The skill ensures that constraints are consistently registered in both the create_default() and create_resilience_aware() methods within the ConstraintManager.

Question 4

Does it validate constraint weights?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it includes a weight hierarchy verification to ensure soft constraints follow the documented priority order, such as Sunday equity being weighted higher than weekday preferences.

Question 5

How do I trigger the verification process?

Accepted Answer

You can run the pre-flight verification by navigating to the backend directory and executing the script: python ../scripts/verify_constraints.py.
