Then `/pressure-test <a specific decision>` to test one call in depth, or bare `/pressure-test` to sweep every solution the session proposed — an inventory with a verdict on each (the holds stated as plainly as the fails), plus the section only the sweep produces: the decisions that were never examined at all.

Run the decision test on **$ARGUMENTS** — or, if that's empty, on the approach currently on the table in this conversation.
Run the decision test on **$ARGUMENTS** — or, if that's empty, on every solution this conversation has proposed.

**With no argument, sweep — don't zoom.** The targeted form asks *is this the right call?* about one decision; the no-argument form asks *did we miss anything?* about all of them. Same evidence standard, same ledger — a wider surface, not a softer test.

- **Inventory first.** List every decision the session actually made, including the ones made in passing — a default accepted without discussion is an entry, not a footnote.
- **Rule per item, and state the holds as plainly as the fails** — *holds / holds with a caveat / fails*. A sweep that prints only problems is a bug list, not a coverage report; manufacturing objections to look thorough is the failure mode this form is most prone to.
- **Then the section only this form can produce: what was never examined.** Defaults taken silently, options never raised, questions nobody asked. "Did we see everything" is answered by the list of what we *didn't* look at — re-litigating what we already argued about is not coverage.

The governing question for the choice: **whatever is scalable, long term, and cannot be done in a more efficient way.**
