Review verification on the pull request
With the Aviator Chrome extension, a Verify tab appears in the pull request's tab row, next to Files changed. It's a trimmed-down, live view of the review document, so you can see why verification failed and unblock the PR without leaving GitHub.
The Verify tab on a pull request with a failing run
The pull request has a verification run. The tab only appears once a run exists; PRs without one show nothing.
An Aviator backend on version 2026.07.16-2 or newer. Aviator Cloud is always current. A self-hosted deployment older than that doesn't serve the data the tab reads, so the tab stays hidden.
What it shows
The tab opens in place of GitHub's content and mirrors the review document:
The run outcome — passed, passed with N accepted failures, failed, errored, in progress, or deferred (waiting on invariant selection).
The verified commit and when and why the run happened (for example, "9 days ago on queue").
Every criterion and invariant with its verdict icon and, for failing rows, the reason it failed. Invariants appear in their own section and link to their invariant page.
Waived rows are struck through and show the waiver's category and reason.
The outcome tracks the aviator/verify check, so the tab never disagrees with it — a run that failed but has every failure waived reads as passed with accepted failures. Live updates arrive on their own; you don't need to refresh.
Use Open in Aviator for the full review document (evidence, scenarios, run history).
Rerun verification
Select Rerun verification to start a new run against the PR's latest commit. It's unavailable while a run is in progress, and when the runbook has no open PR to verify against it explains why.
Waive an invariant failure
Failing invariant rows offer Waive…. Invariants are account-wide rules you can't edit here, so failures clear by waiving them:
Pick a category — False positive, Doesn't apply, Accepted risk, or Fix in follow-up.
Give a reason (required).
Confirm. The failure clears, the counter and header update, and the aviator/verify check is re-posted.
Waiving an invariant failure with a category and a reason
Remove an acceptance criterion
Failing acceptance-criteria rows offer Remove…, which drops a criterion you don't want verified. The last remaining criterion and account invariants can't be removed; when the backend refuses, the tab tells you why.
