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

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
