Prerequisite Checkpoint: Build Success Is One Layer
Run or inspect one colcon build result and record what it proves.
A successful build can establish that the selected packages were processed successfully under that build environment. It does not automatically prove:
- the overlay is sourced in another shell;
- a launch file can find installed resources;
- nodes are running;
- Java/WPILib code is integrated with the ROS runtime.
Evidence record
Capture:
command or supplied build evidence:
package(s) built:
result:
install output expected:
next verification step:
If the build fails, identify the first failed layer rather than immediately editing unrelated launch or Java code.
This checkpoint exists to keep build evidence distinct from runtime evidence.
