 "title": "Confirm a fix works without recording it",
 "page_title": "How to confirm a fix works without recording it with Perch",
 "summary": "Re-ask Perch about a finding after you change the code, without saving anything.",
 "who": "A developer who has edited code to resolve a flagged issue and wants a second opinion before committing.",
 "problem": "It is unclear whether an edit actually fixed the defect, and a full rescan may not be needed for one finding.",
 "outcome": "A fresh answer on the finding after your change, with nothing recorded in the scan history.",
 "steps": [
  "Finish the change to the flagged code",
  "Run `perch check <id>` with the finding ID from `perch issues` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Read the new answer and confirm the problem is gone",
  "Run `perch scan` again if you want a full recorded result"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the perch repo at <project path>, after editing the code for finding <id>, run `perch check <id>`. Report whether the problem still appears. Verify that the check did not add a new record to the scan results.",

 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README gives the `perch check` command without showing its argument format, so confirm the exact syntax with `perch check --help` or the docs before relying on it.",
