Compare And Launch Decisions
Compare a candidate System Version against a baseline and interpret the Launch Decision.
Compare baseline and candidate
Compare runs put a candidate System Version next to a baseline so reviewers can see whether behavior improved, regressed, or needs more investigation.
shell
determina compare --project-id <project-id> --baseline-id <baseline-id> --candidate-system-version-id <candidate-system-version-id> --system-type search --brief "freshness and ambiguous intent behavior review" --output-dir ./determina-output
Interpret the decision
Decisions summarize whether the evidence supports pass, warn, or fail for the configured coverage. Treat the decision as release-review evidence, not an automatic deployment command.
| Decision | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pass | No blocking behavior risk was found under the configured compare coverage. |
| Warn | The evidence has findings or uncertainty that needs human review. |
| Fail | The evidence contains behavior signals that should block the next change until resolved. |
What compare does not do
Compare does not deploy code, approve a change by itself, or prove all possible inputs are safe. It gives the review team trace-backed evidence under the configured behavior coverage.
