# Phase 10 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | Bun test runner (built-in) |
| **Config file** | none — `bun test` discovers `tests/**/*.test.ts` |
| **Quick run command** | `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` |
| **Full suite command** | `bun test` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~5 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts`
- **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 |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 10-01-01 | 01 | 1 | RANK-03 | unit | `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` | Extend existing | ⬜ pending |
| 10-01-02 | 01 | 1 | RANK-03 | unit | `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` | Extend existing | ⬜ pending |
| 10-01-03 | 01 | 1 | RANK-03 | unit | `bun test tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` | Extend existing | ⬜ pending |
| 10-01-04 | 01 | 1 | RANK-03 | route | `bun test tests/routes/threads.test.ts` | Extend existing | ⬜ pending |
| 10-01-05 | 01 | 1 | RANK-03 | regression | `bun test` | Existing ✅ | ⬜ pending |

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

---

## Wave 0 Requirements

Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements. All tests are extensions of existing files:
- `tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` — add `pros`/`cons` test cases to existing describe blocks
- `tests/routes/threads.test.ts` — add test case to existing PUT candidate describe block

*No new test files or framework installs required.*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| CandidateCard shows visual indicator when pros/cons present | RANK-03 | UI rendering verification | 1. Create thread with candidate 2. Add pros text 3. Verify indicator badge appears on card |

---

## 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
