Phase 4 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	flutter_test (built-in)
Config file	none — uses flutter test runner
Quick run command	flutter test test/core/notifications/
Full suite command	flutter test
Estimated runtime	~15 seconds

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run flutter test test/core/notifications/
• After every plan wave: Run flutter test
• Before /gsd:verify-work: Full suite must be green + dart analyze --fatal-infos
• Max feedback latency: 15 seconds

Wave 0 Requirements

• test/core/notifications/notification_service_test.dart — stubs for NOTF-01 scheduling logic
• test/core/notifications/notification_settings_notifier_test.dart — stubs for NOTF-02 persistence
• lib/core/notifications/notification_service.dart — service stub for testing
• android/app/build.gradle.kts — add desugaring dependency
• android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml — permissions + receivers
• Framework install: flutter pub add flutter_local_notifications timezone flutter_timezone

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
Boot receiver manifest entry present (exported=true)	NOTF-01	Static XML config, not runtime testable	Inspect AndroidManifest.xml for ScheduledNotificationBootReceiver with android:exported="true"
POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission requested on toggle-on	NOTF-01	Native Android permission dialog	Run on Android 13+ emulator, toggle notification ON, verify dialog appears
Notification actually appears on device	NOTF-01	flutter_local_notifications dispatches to native	Run on emulator, schedule notification 1 min ahead, verify it appears

---

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
