# Phase 8 — Validation Strategy

> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | Vitest 4.1.x (API + PWA unit), @playwright/test 1.60.0 (E2E harness) |
| **Config file** | `apps/api/vitest.config.ts`, `apps/pwa/playwright.config.ts` |
| **Quick run command** | `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck` |
| **Full suite command** | `pnpm test` then `pnpm test:e2e` (CI=true, dev stack up) |
| **Estimated runtime** | unit ~tens of seconds; harness several minutes (2 device profiles) |

**Note:** Phase 8 delivers CI plumbing (`.gitea/workflows/*.yml`). The "tests" for this phase are the CI workflow runs themselves — validation is observed by triggering the workflow on a branch/PR and reading Gitea Actions logs, not by a local unit-test file per task.

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** YAML lint / `act_runner` dry-validate where possible; push branch and observe the probe/CI run in Gitea Actions
- **After every plan wave:** Confirm all jobs in that wave pass on a test PR (W0 probe green → W1 fast-checks + integration green → W2 harness + publish green)
- **Before `/gsd-verify-work`:** Full CI green on a real PR targeting `main`
- **Max feedback latency:** one CI run (minutes), bounded by the harness job

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Threat Ref | Secure Behavior | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|------------|-----------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|

*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky — planner expands one row per task.*

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `.gitea/workflows/runner-probe.yml` — runner-probe workflow (new file; Wave 0 task). Must answer: runner mode (Docker vs host), Docker socket access, `actions/*` resolution, Node 22 / pnpm availability, internet access, WebKit dep installability.
- [ ] `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — main CI workflow scaffolding (new file; Waves 1–2).

*Existing unit/integration/E2E infrastructure (Vitest + Playwright) is reused unchanged; no new local test framework is installed.*

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Runner registered on Unraid | CI-01/CI-02 | Operator infra action outside the repo; 0 runners currently registered | Install/register `act_runner` on Unraid against `git.bergerhouse.net`; confirm it appears in Gitea Actions runners list |
| Gitea registry PAT created | CI-02 | Secret creation is an operator action; cannot be scripted in-repo | Create PAT with `write:package`; store as repo secret (e.g. `GITEA_REGISTRY_PAT`); confirm publish job authenticates |
| PR merge actually blocked on failure | CI-01 | Requires branch-protection "required status checks" config in Gitea | Configure required checks on `main`; open a failing PR; confirm merge button is blocked |

---

## Validation Sign-Off

- [x] All tasks have an observable CI-run verification or Wave 0 dependency
- [x] Sampling continuity: every wave has a green-gate before the next (W0 probe → W1 PR jobs → W2 harness → W3 publish, each gated by a checkpoint)
- [x] Wave 0 covers all MISSING references (runner-probe answers all unknowns)
- [x] No watch-mode flags
- [x] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter (after planner expands the map)

**Approval:** planned 2026-06-11 — map expanded, nyquist_compliant=true
