# Phase 2 — Validation Strategy

> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | None (no test framework installed) |
| **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

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 02-01-xx | 01 | 1 | UI-DONUT-01 | manual-only | `bun run build` | N/A | ⬜ pending |
| 02-01-xx | 01 | 1 | UI-BAR-01 | manual-only | `bun run build` | N/A | ⬜ pending |
| 02-01-xx | 01 | 1 | UI-HBAR-01 | manual-only | `bun run build` | N/A | ⬜ pending |
| 02-02-xx | 02 | 1 | UI-DASH-01 | manual-only | `bun run build` | N/A | ⬜ pending |

*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky*

## Wave 0 Requirements

Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements. No test framework installation needed — `bun run build` (TypeScript type-check + Vite build) serves as the automated quality gate.

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Expense donut chart renders with center total label, active hover expansion, custom legend | UI-DONUT-01 | Visual/interactive chart rendering — no test framework installed | Open dashboard, verify donut chart shows category segments, center total, hover expands sector, legend below |
| Vertical bar chart shows income budgeted vs actual | UI-BAR-01 | Visual chart rendering | Open dashboard with income items, verify grouped bars for budgeted (muted) vs actual (vivid) |
| Horizontal bar chart shows spend budget vs actual by category type | UI-HBAR-01 | Visual chart rendering | Open dashboard with expense items, verify horizontal bars with red accent for over-budget |
| 3-column chart layout, month navigation, empty states | UI-DASH-01 | Layout, navigation, and responsive behavior | Verify 3-column grid, arrow+dropdown month nav, URL params update, empty/zero states render correctly |

## 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
