Laravel Support & Capability Scope

02. Authoritative Capabilities

• /

  Discover all executable behavioral surfaces (routes, commands, services).

• /

  Serialize and audit scalar behavioral truth (booleans, numbers, strings, null).

• /

  Detect contradictory tests asserting different outcomes for the same surface.

• /

  Enforce “One Surface. One Truth.”

• /

  Refuse to guess when execution or truth is ambiguous.

• /

  Materialize non-testable or contradictory behavior as versioned audit artifacts.

• /

  Produce deterministic results (time frozen, RNG seeded, DB snapshotted).

• /

  Operate in a fail-closed sandbox with no outbound network access.

03. Intentionally Out of Scope

The following are intentionally excluded from the SATE verification model to preserve determinism and absolute auditability:

• ✖

  Serialization or assertion of deep array contents.

• ✖

  Serialization or assertion of object graphs or Eloquent model state.

• ✖

  Assertion of JSON or HTML response bodies beyond scalar signals (e.g., status code).

• ✖

  Generation or guessing of edge cases.

• ✖

  Auto-resolution of contradictory tests.

• ✖

  Inference of business rules from data patterns.

• ✖

  Fuzzy, probabilistic, or heuristic-based testing.

• ✖

  Runtime concurrency simulation or race-condition fuzzing.

04. Deferred by Design

When SATE encounters complexity that compromises the integrity of its causal chain, it refuses to attempt verification. This applies to:

• —

  Complex return structures (arrays, objects)

• —

  Dynamic dispatch

• —

  Feature-flag-guarded behavior

• —

  External side effects

• —

  Insufficient type information

In these instances, SATE will explicitly classify the surface, refuse test generation, and produce an auditable artifact for manual review.

“Absence of a test is never silent.”
