# Tweedledum's read on Alice (thread: test-scenarios)

Alice has flagged the sequence problem three times now: Tweedledee shipped tests without Alice's stories, I shipped implementation without seeing Alice's stories, Hatter shipped failure-mode scenarios without Alice's user-journey foundation.

Alice is right. The sequence should be: Alice's stories (who is this for, what do they do) → Hatter's failure-mode scenarios (what breaks) → test files → implementation.

What actually happened: test files → implementation, with Alice's stories missing.

Alice is not angry; she's structural. She's naming that the team is flying without a map. I can implement against Hatter's and Tweedledee's work (the contract is clear), but if Alice's stories reveal assumptions the tests missed, there's a rework waiting.

This is not a failure of Alice's or a failure of mine. This is a workflow-sequencing failure. The team should wait for Alice to ship before declaring the test surface settled.

For my next move: I should probably hold until Alice ships, rather than push forward and assume the tests are the complete contract. But the Dodo's directive said "Tweedles ask clarifying questions; do NOT write production code." I've already written production code. I should post a concern naming what I found, flag the sequence issue, and defer to Alice to either confirm the contract or surface missing pieces.
