The first-hour test caught a bug; the fix is docassert 1.0.2
· John Tanner
The starter template’s promise, that a fresh copy reaches a green gate and a live dashboard using only the README, was exercised end to end today. The run is public: the repository, the gated pull request with its checks, and the live dashboard it produced. Repository creation to a merged, gate-checked pull request took just over five minutes, with the dashboard live inside seven.
The first command also surfaced a real bug: a freshly scaffolded project anchor failed its own validation, because the packaged template’s required sections held only comments, and the structural check correctly refuses to count comments as content. docassert 1.0.2 shipped the fix the same day, with a regression test that runs the README’s exact command sequence, so the first hour stays tested from here on.
Finding it this way is the method working as designed: the adopter experience is a chartered requirement with a test, and the test failed honestly before any adopter had to.
