+# Phase 4 — Validation Strategy
+
+> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.
+
+---
+
+## Test Infrastructure
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Framework** | None — no test framework configured |
+| **Config file** | None |
+| **Quick run command** | `bun run build` |
+| **Full suite command** | `bun run build && bun run lint` |
+| **Estimated runtime** | ~10 seconds |
+
+---
+
+## Sampling Rate
+
+- **After every task commit:** Run `bun run build`
+- **After every plan wave:** Run `bun run build && bun run lint`
+- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
+- **Max feedback latency:** 10 seconds
+

+

+
+## Wave 0 Requirements
+
+*Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements. This phase is 100% visual UI polish — no new logic, no new data flows. `bun run build` catches TypeScript type errors, `bun run lint` catches code quality issues.*
+
+---
+
+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
+|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
+| All 9 pages use PageShell | UI-DESIGN-01 | Visual layout consistency | Navigate each page, verify consistent header with title |
+| Auth pages show muted bg + logo + accent card | UI-AUTH-01 | Visual design | Open /login and /register, verify background and card |
+| Category group headers have accent styling | UI-CATEGORIES-01 | Visual design | Open /categories, verify left-border accent or enhanced dots |
+| BudgetDetail semantic tokens | UI-BUDGETS-01 | Color correctness | Open budget detail, verify red/green uses semantic tokens |
+| No jarring visual discontinuity | UI-RESPONSIVE-01 | Cross-page consistency | Navigate between all pages rapidly |
+| German locale fully translated | UI-DESIGN-01 | i18n completeness | Switch to German in settings, visit every page |
+

+
+## 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 < 10s
+- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

+**Approval:** pending
