anchors verify

Run EVERYTHING the phase requires: Anchors gates + external tools.

One invocation per PHASE, instead of one command per tool.

Runs the gates declared in anchors.yaml that apply to the requested phase — including the
external ones (`run:`), which delegate to tsc/eslint/spellcheck. The project declares
AT WHICH MOMENT each gate is charged (`when:`), HOW MUCH it costs (`cost:`)
and WHAT it measures (`category:`); this command only obeys.

  anchors verify --phase pre-commit --staged   # what the hook calls
  anchors verify --phase ci --all              # the full picture
  anchors verify --category types              # only one family

Scope of the external gates (`scope:`):
  node     (default) one execution per file — the gate measures one isolated file
  batch    ONE execution receiving the files in "$@" — eslint, prettier
  project  ONE execution with no targets — tsc, knip, madge (they look at the whole project)

A project/batch scoped gate only runs if THERE IS a relevant file in the cut: a
README-only commit does not trigger the monorepo's typecheck.

Usage

anchors verify [flags]

Flags

Flag	Default	What it does
--all		scan every node (the full picture; expensive)
--category		enforces only the gates of this nature (types|style|traceability…)
--changed		file(s) to verify (repeatable)
--commit-msg		path to the commit message file (the commit-msg hook passes it)
--no-record		report only: neither stamps the map nor opens issues
--phase		the phase to enforce (pre-commit|pre-push|ci|manual)
--root	.	project root
--skip-slow		skip gates declared cost: slow
--staged		uses the files staged in git (the pre-commit mode)

Confronting the project — family

Commands of the same family — what tells each apart:

Command	What it does
anchors check	Run the quality gates (the pipeline)
anchors verify	Run EVERYTHING the phase requires: Anchors gates + external tools
anchors coverage	Show coverage by scenario, by line, of the DIFF and the delta
anchors stale	List stale edges — what changed and has not been reconfronted
anchors impact	Impact analysis: what a change to this file reaches
anchors failures	The observed failures that the spec has not yet explained
