The skill could author correlation rules but not check them. Every verification path it described was a dead end or a hand-off: "the CLI has no edge-query command", confirm in the tenant UI, or use the MCP server's graph_query if one happens to be connected. So the agent shipped rules it could not test, and a rule that validated but matched nothing looked identical to one that worked. squaredup 1.1.0 adds edges, correlate and correlate-status, which close that loop. This teaches the skill to use them: - Checkpoint B step 5 now drives the confirmation itself — correlate-status for which rules installed and what each one did, then edges for what they actually related. Replaces the UI hand-off. - The rule list from correlate-status is called out as the check that rules installed at all; validate only proves a file parses. - Read per rule, not just the top-level flags: succeeded means every rule ran, not that any matched. edgesCreated: 0 with a healthy verticesProcessed is a rule bug, and it names which rule to fix. - correlation-rules.md gains an iteration loop. Correlation normally only runs after an import, but correlate re-runs it on demand, so fixing a rule costs a redeploy rather than a full re-index — the exception being a new join key, which does need one because existing objects lack the property. - Prerequisites note the 1.1.0 floor, and that correlate needs a tenant admin while the two read commands do not, so a non-admin can still verify. - Two rows of the common-mistakes table now name the diagnostic that reveals them rather than just the symptom. - REVIEW.md asks for evidence that edges were confirmed; nothing in CI can.

In @.claude/skills/build-plugin/references/checkpoints.md:
- Around line 83-86: Bound correlation polling to a finite timeout and do not
treat correlate-status.done as sufficient readiness because it may describe a
previous run. In the correlation workflow, use the current run’s edgesCreated
value to stop when it reaches zero; otherwise continue polling edges within the
timeout, preserving the existing datasource-scoped correlate-status and
plugin-scoped edges requirements.
In @.claude/skills/build-plugin/references/correlation-rules.md:
- Line 283: Update the re-indexing guidance in the correlation loop section to
require the full Checkpoint B cycle whenever an imported-object shape changes,
including indexDefinitions/*.json or import-stream changes to join-key mappings,
id, name, or type. Retain the no-re-index exception only when the imported
object shape is unchanged.
In @.claude/skills/build-plugin/SKILL.md:
- Line 309: Update the zero-edge diagnostics guidance so edgesCreated: 0 prompts
investigation but does not prove a join-key or type mismatch, and explicitly
allow valid no-match results when the test tenant lacks a matching relationship.
In .claude/skills/build-plugin/SKILL.md lines 309-309, revise the rule-problem
wording accordingly; in
.claude/skills/build-plugin/references/correlation-rules.md lines 274-274,
replace “which is a rule bug” with equivalent conditional wording.
- Around line 305-309: Update the Phase 5b correlation confirmation flow to use
a defined retry interval and maximum wait, polling correlate-status until
completion or timeout. Treat timeout, run-level succeeded=false, and any failed
rule status as failures; report the run-level and per-rule errors and do not
invoke squaredup edges when any failure occurs.
In `@REVIEW.md`:
- Line 110: Update the two evidence commands in the review guidance for rule
validation—squaredup correlate-status and squaredup edges—to include
--datasource-id, --plugin-id, and --json, while preserving the existing
rule-specific arguments and purpose.

Four of CodeRabbit's five findings on #121 were right, and the first one was right for a reason it didn't have: `correlate-status` DOES take `--since` (an exclusive `lastEvaluated` anchor, exactly like `index-status --since` on `scheduledStart`) — the skill just never mentioned it. Without it `done: true` can describe the *previous* import's correlation, so a rule that matched last time reads as a pass before this run has started. Documented the anchor, where to get it (a pre-import `correlate-status`, or `correlate --no-wait --json`), and why the `since` from `index` is NOT a substitute: it is the previous import's start, which the previous correlation run already cleared. Also from the review: - Bound the poll — ~5s interval, give up after ~5 minutes, mirroring the CLI's own `correlate` (5s polls, 600s default). A timeout is not a failure, but it is not a confirmation either: report unconfirmed rather than reading whatever `edges` happens to hold. - Branch on failure before reading edges — `succeeded: false` or a rule with `status: "failed"` means report `ruleName`/`status`/`errorCount` and fix that first. Added the states an agent will actually meet: `succeeded: null` while in flight, `notRun`, and `warnings` (succeeded, but check `errorCount`). - `edgesCreated: 0` is no longer stated as a rule bug. It usually is, but a correct rule reports zero against data with nothing to relate — the CLI's own smoke test hit exactly that, an object-group rule creating 11 edges on dev and 0 on us/eu. So: check the join keys pair up before rewriting the rule. - The no-re-index claim now turns on the imported objects being unchanged, not narrowly on adding a join key. Any `indexDefinitions`/import-stream edit — changing an existing mapping, `id`, `name`, `type` — leaves them stale, which is what the re-indexing rule already said. Not taken: expanding the REVIEW.md evidence bullet to full `--datasource-id --plugin-id --json` invocations. That file tells a human reviewer what evidence to expect in a PR; the runnable forms live in correlation-rules.md, and no other bullet in REVIEW.md carries flags. Field names and semantics verified against the CLI source on squaredup/plugins-cli `work/dc/saas-9814-edges-command`, and the `--since` / `--timeout` flags against the installed 1.1.0 binary.

Stacked on #118 (base:
work/dc/skill-correlation) — review that one first.Why
#118 teaches the skill to author correlation rules. It cannot check them. Every verification path the skill describes is a dead end or a hand-off:
So the agent ships rules it cannot test, and a rule that validates but matches nothing looks exactly like one that works.
squaredup1.1.0 addsedges,correlateandcorrelate-status, which close that loop.What changes
Checkpoint B step 5 now drives the confirmation itself instead of handing off to the UI:
correlate-status --datasource-id <id> --json— which rules installed, and what each one did.edges --datasource-id <id> --plugin-id <pluginId> --json— the edges they produced.--rule <ruleName>narrows to one.Three ideas the skill did not previously have:
correlationRules/*.jsonthat doesn't appear incorrelate-statusnever deployed.validateonly proves the file parses — the skill treated that as sufficient.succeeded: truemeans every rule ran, not that any matched.edgesCreated: 0with a healthyverticesProcessedis a rule bug, and it names which rule to fix. Previously "zero edges" was an undifferentiated dead end.correlatere-runs it on demand, so fixing a rule costs a redeploy rather than a full re-index. The exception is a new join key — that still needs an import, because existing objects lack the property.Also: Prerequisites note the 1.1.0 floor and that
correlateneeds a tenant admin (the two read commands don't, so a non-admin can still verify); two rows of the common-mistakes table name the diagnostic that reveals them rather than just the symptom; andREVIEW.mdasks for evidence that edges were confirmed, since nothing in CI can check a rule matched anything.Notes for review
npm i -g @squaredup/clicurrently installs 1.0.1, which has none of them. Merge this after that ships, or the skill will tell agents to run commands that don't exist.Validate & Deploy Pluginshas nothing to do here.Summary by CodeRabbit
