Phase 22 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	bun test + Playwright
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) + ~60 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

Wave 0 Requirements

Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements. Backend already supports globalItemId on items and candidates. No new test framework needed.

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
Add-to-collection modal UX flow	CATFLOW-03	Modal interaction, visual confirmation	Open catalog search, click Add, verify modal shows category picker + notes, submit and verify toast
Thread picker displays active threads	CATFLOW-05	UI state interaction	Open catalog search in thread mode, click Add, verify thread dropdown shows active threads
Combined thread creation + candidate add	CATFLOW-05	Multi-step UI flow	From FAB "Start Thread", search, click Add on first item, verify thread creation + candidate in one step

---

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
