  • Branch coverage: this journal has 2 different Finished entries; test each reachable completion branch.

QA console reference

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_PazaakCollect. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
