# CIGE: ProductDefectAgent
Invoked by `cige-failure-classification` when a run is classified as a **Product Defect**: execution reached the system under test, the environment is healthy, execution steps are current — but the outcome does not match `Intent`.
## When to invoke
- Execution reached the system under test
- Environment is healthy (ruled out by `cige-failure-classification` as Infrastructure Failure)
- Execution steps are current (ruled out as Outdated Test Logic)
- The observed outcome contradicts `Intent`
This is also the escalation target when `cige-stale-execution-repair` (Mode A) cannot find any execution path that satisfies `Intent` within `Guardrails` — that usually means the failure was misclassified as stale execution when it's really a defect.

## What it does
1. Read `Intent` (what was expected) and capture actual system behavior (what happened).
2. Fetch `specRef` (the BRD / product spec) and `buildRef` (the tested build's release documentation) to determine ground truth. Four cases:
**Case A — `specRef` unchanged, system diverged.**
The system broke. This is a confirmed product defect.
→ File a bug report with: Intent, actual behavior, `specRef` snapshot, execution trace.
→ Do not modify the test definition.
**Case B — `specRef` was recently updated, `buildRef`'s release documentation confirms the tested build actually includes that update, and system behavior matches the new spec.**
The product intentionally changed, *and this build actuall
