# X_REFERENCE_APP_NO_FLOOR

## Means

a tracked app's `x.verify.json` does not cover the steps its own gate ran — the file is missing, empty, or behind

## Typical cause

without a committed floor a deleted suite turns its step from red into *skipped*, which is neither a regression nor a stale pin, so both gates stay green over a suite that no longer exists

## Fix

write or extend `<app>/x.verify.json` — `fix` carries the exact body, or the exact step names to add to its `"steps"` array
