+# Phase 5 — Validation Strategy
+
+> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.
+
+---
+
+## Test Infrastructure
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Framework** | pytest 8.x + pytest-asyncio (existing) |
+| **Config file** | `pyproject.toml` (existing) |
+| **Quick run command** | `pytest tests/unit -x -q` |
+| **Full suite command** | `pytest tests/ -x` |
+| **Estimated runtime** | ~30 seconds |
+
+---
+
+## Sampling Rate
+
+- **After every task commit:** Run `pytest tests/unit -x -q`
+- **After every plan wave:** Run `pytest tests/ -x`
+- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
+- **Max feedback latency:** 30 seconds
+
+---
+
+## Per-Task Verification Map
+
+| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
+|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
+| 05-xx | 01 | 1 | EMPL-01 | unit | `pytest tests/unit/test_system_prompt_builder.py -x` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
+| 05-xx | 01 | 1 | EMPL-02,03 | integration | `pytest tests/integration/test_templates.py -x` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
+| 05-xx | 01 | 1 | EMPL-04 | integration | `pytest tests/integration/test_templates.py::test_deploy_template_rbac -x` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
+| 05-xx | 02 | 2 | EMPL-01 | build | `cd packages/portal && npx next build` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+| 05-xx | 02 | 2 | EMPL-02 | build | `cd packages/portal && npx next build` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+| 05-xx | 02 | 2 | EMPL-05 | build | `cd packages/portal && npx next build` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+
+*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky*
+

+
+## Wave 0 Requirements
+
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_system_prompt_builder.py` — EMPL-01: system prompt auto-generation from wizard inputs
+- [ ] `tests/integration/test_templates.py` — EMPL-02,03,04: template CRUD, deploy, RBAC
+
+---
+
+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
+|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
+| Three-option entry point renders correctly | EMPL-01,02 | UI layout | Click "New Employee", verify Templates/Guided Setup/Advanced options appear |
+| Wizard stepper navigates through all 5 steps | EMPL-01 | UI flow | Walk through Role → Persona → Tools → Channels → Escalation |
+| Template gallery shows card grid with previews | EMPL-02 | UI visual | Browse templates, click preview, verify details expand |
+| One-click template deploy creates functional agent | EMPL-03 | End-to-end | Deploy template, verify agent appears in list, sends in channels |
+| Wizard-created agent editable in Agent Designer | EMPL-05 | UI flow | Create via wizard, click edit, verify Agent Designer opens with all fields |
+
+---
+
+## 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 < 30s
+- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter
+
+**Approval:** pending
