OK, I have to cast an opinion.
Yes, light fixtures are required for a "final"; stairways, hallways, kitchen, bath, attic (IF), basement (IF), garage (IF)and any other place a switched receptacle is not allowed.
Now.....if there are multiple lighting locations, and one fixture is installed, and the 'others' are blanked-off, that is OK.
For a final, power must be on, all items must be functional, appliances must be in place (oven, stove, DW, HVAC installed, etc.
And, lastly, NO, I would not write a red sticker for a bad bulb!
