# Phase 23 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | Bun test (unit/integration), Playwright (E2E) |
| **Config file** | `bunfig.toml`, `playwright.config.ts` |
| **Quick run command** | `bun test` |
| **Full suite command** | `bun test && bun run test:e2e` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~15 seconds (unit), ~45 seconds (E2E) |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `bun test`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `bun test && bun run test:e2e`
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 15 seconds

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 23-01-01 | 01 | 1 | CATFLOW-07 | E2E | `bun run test:e2e` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 23-01-02 | 01 | 1 | CATFLOW-07 | manual | N/A | N/A | ⬜ pending |
| 23-01-03 | 01 | 1 | CATFLOW-08 | manual | N/A | N/A | ⬜ pending |

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

---

## Wave 0 Requirements

*Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements. No new test framework installation needed.*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| "Add Manually" link visible in catalog search empty state | CATFLOW-07 | UI visibility and placement | 1. Open catalog search, 2. Search for non-existent item, 3. Verify "Add Manually" link appears |
| Manual entry form fields and submission | CATFLOW-07 | Form interaction flow | 1. Click "Add Manually", 2. Fill required fields, 3. Submit, 4. Verify item created without globalItemId |
| "Submit to catalog?" prompt after save | CATFLOW-08 | Non-functional UI prompt | 1. Save manual item, 2. Verify prompt appears, 3. Click "Submit to Catalog?", 4. Verify toast "Coming soon" |
| Persistent "Add Manually" link below search results | CATFLOW-07 | UI placement when results exist | 1. Search for existing items, 2. Verify "Add Manually" link visible below results |

## 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 < 15s
- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

**Approval:** pending
