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.
