Phase 24 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	Bun test (built-in)
Config file	bunfig.toml (if present) or none — bun test discovers tests/**/*.test.ts
Quick run command	bun test tests/middleware/rateLimit.test.ts tests/routes/global-items.test.ts tests/routes/profiles.test.ts
Full suite command	bun test
Estimated runtime	~15 seconds

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run bun test tests/middleware/rateLimit.test.ts tests/routes/global-items.test.ts tests/routes/profiles.test.ts
• After every plan wave: Run bun test
• Before /gsd:verify-work: Full suite must be green
• Max feedback latency: 15 seconds

Wave 0 Requirements

• tests/middleware/rateLimit.test.ts — extend with createRateLimit factory tests (configurable max/window)
• e2e/public-access.spec.ts — covers PUBL-04 (no spinner on anonymous load) and PUBL-05 (auth prompt on write action)

Existing infrastructure covers PUBL-01 through PUBL-03 and INFR-01 base cases.

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
No auth spinner on first load	PUBL-04	Visual timing check	Visit root URL in incognito, verify content renders without spinner flash

---

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
