# Defect and retest workflow
## Classification
- **Product defect:** deployed behavior contradicts an approved acceptance outcome or requirement.
- **Environment defect:** routing, dependency, data, identity, or infrastructure prevents valid execution.
- **Test defect:** the journey implementation or fixture is incorrect.
- **Unresolved:** evidence is insufficient; investigate without assigning blame.
## Return packet
A returned failure names the journey ID, deployment tuple, first failing step/assertion, expected and actual behavior, trace/screenshot reference, reproducibility, classification, and owning Kanban/Delivery task.
UAT does not patch the application or desired state. Delivery supplies a new application/image/GitOps identity after remediation.
## Retest
Run the failed journey, materially coupled journeys, and the required smoke set. A narrow retest may verify the correction, but the final verdict must satisfy the release's declared journey set against one frozen deployment identity.
