# Phase 8 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | bun test |
| **Config file** | bunfig.toml (if exists) or none |
| **Quick run command** | `bun test` |
| **Full suite command** | `bun test` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~5 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `bun test`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `bun test`
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 5 seconds

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 08-01-01 | 01 | 1 | CAND-01, CAND-03 | unit | `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 08-01-02 | 01 | 1 | CAND-02 | unit | `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 08-02-01 | 02 | 1 | SRCH-01, SRCH-02, SRCH-03 | manual | visual | N/A | ⬜ pending |
| 08-02-02 | 02 | 1 | SRCH-04, SRCH-05 | manual | visual | N/A | ⬜ pending |
| 08-02-03 | 02 | 1 | PLAN-01 | manual | visual | N/A | ⬜ pending |

*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky*

---

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` — add candidate status tests (schema migration, default status, status update)
- [ ] `tests/helpers/db.ts` — update CREATE TABLE for thread_candidates to include status column

*Existing test infrastructure covers framework setup.*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Instant search filtering as user types | SRCH-01 | Client-side UI interaction | Type in search field, verify items filter in real time |
| Category dropdown with Lucide icons | SRCH-02, PLAN-01 | Visual rendering of icons in dropdown | Open dropdown, verify icons appear next to category names |
| Combined search + category filter | SRCH-03 | Multi-input UI interaction | Apply both search and category filter, verify combined results |
| Result count display | SRCH-04 | UI text rendering | Apply filter, verify "showing X of Y items" appears |
| Clear filters individually | SRCH-05 | UI interaction | Clear search, reset dropdown, verify all items return |
| Status badge display and click menu | CAND-01, CAND-02 | UI interaction + popup menu | Click status badge, verify menu appears with all 3 options |

---

## Validation Sign-Off

- [ ] All tasks have `<automated>` verify or Wave 0 dependencies
- [ ] Sampling continuity: no 3 consecutive tasks without automated verify
- [ ] Wave 0 covers all MISSING references
- [ ] No watch-mode flags
- [ ] Feedback latency < 5s
- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

**Approval:** pending
