# Return policies persistence

## Verification Boundary

The suite exercises persistence or workflow operations against the local integration database.

## What This Suite Proves

The registered cases check return policies persistence with their fixture records and assertions. Scenario bindings name only the examples those cases exercise.

## What It Does Not Prove

A registered file supplies no run result or verified conformance by itself. Local fixtures do not establish deployed cross-service behavior or complete browser journeys.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

PostgreSQL and the exercised Commerce persistence or workflow code are real. Remote service records, clocks and transports follow the suite’s fixtures.

## Must Not Be Doubled

The database constraints, role restrictions, locks and transactions exercised by this suite must use PostgreSQL.
