end-to-end
Spanning the whole
End-to-end describes something that spans an entire process, system, or journey from start to finish without gaps or handoffs: end-to-end encryption protects data from sender to recipient, end-to-end testing checks a complete workflow.
The phrase emphasizes comprehensive coverage—nothing left out, no weak links in the chain.
