Spec-Driven Development for Brownfield: Verify Code Against Intent With a Verifiable Code Context Layer

Specs and code drift apart the day after you write the PRD, because they are two separate documents that nobody keeps in sync. A verifiable context layer derives the spec a codebase actually implements and then continuously checks the code against it. Here is how spec-driven development works on a brownfield codebase, and why it needs a verifiable code IR that checks code against intent.

What Verifiable Means for Code Context, and Why GraphRAG Can't Check Code Against Intent

Verifiable is the one word competitors cannot claim. A code graph extracts a shadow of your code and can never tell you whether the code still does what it is supposed to. A verifiable intermediate representation is a derived contract that every change gets checked against. Here is what verifiable actually means, why GraphRAG and vector search can only retrieve, and what continuous verification unlocks.
