Ota 1.6.24 Adds Negative Controls to Dependency Proofs
Ota's new release separates dependency verification into three levels: reachable, exercised, and fault_tested. It introduces negative controls that run as separate proof runs to confirm a dependency's absence causes failure. This prevents false positives from green statuses that don't prove causal impact.
Meridian48 take
A useful refinement for CI/CD pipelines that need to distinguish between a dependency being reachable and actually mattering for the test outcome.
