The court-payment team demos every story against mocked payment-gateway and docket integrations, then marks the increment Done. ART System Demo later fails on the real interfaces. What should the SM/TC insist on?

Short Explanation
A mock court-payment demo is a cardboard courthouse: it looks like a building until someone tries the door. Done means the increment actually talks to the gateway and the docket. Fake green reviews just hide the integration jam until System Demo.
Full Explanation
Built-in Quality on an ART includes integrated, working increments—not stories that pass only against stubs. Mock-only Done makes team flow look healthy while defects and wait time explode at System Demo. The SM/TC should coach a Definition of Done that includes real interfaces for court payments, not a prettier Iteration Review, skipped ART integration, or a quarterly catch-up week. Quality that is delayed to a later integration festival is still late inspection, and it interrupts ART flow.
