# Send operational alerts to Rhythm HQ: Capability Test Specification

## Coverage

Each scenario names the guarantee it proves. Category coverage describes specified cases; executable bindings retain their narrower assertion boundaries. Lifecycle coverage remains a gap wherever guards and effects lack independent verification.
