+# Phase 3 — 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** | ~45 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:** 45 seconds
+
+---
+
+## Per-Task Verification Map

+## Wave 0 Requirements
+
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_key_encryption.py` — LLM-03: Fernet encrypt/decrypt/rotate
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_slack_oauth.py` — PRTA-03: state HMAC generation/verification
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_stripe_webhooks.py` — PRTA-05: idempotency, status updates, cancellation
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_usage_aggregation.py` — AGNT-07, PRTA-06: SQL aggregate queries
+- [ ] `tests/unit/test_budget_alerts.py` — AGNT-07: threshold logic
+- [ ] `tests/integration/test_slack_oauth.py` — PRTA-03: full OAuth callback flow
+- [ ] `tests/integration/test_channel_test_message.py` — PRTA-04: test message endpoint
+- [ ] Install: `uv add stripe cryptography` in shared, `npm install recharts @stripe/stripe-js stripe` in portal
+
+---
+
+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
+|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
+| Onboarding stepper transitions through all 3 steps | PRTA-04 | UI flow requires browser | Walk through onboarding wizard: connect → configure → test |
+| Slack OAuth redirect and token exchange | PRTA-03 | Requires live Slack app + OAuth redirect | Click "Add to Slack", authorize, verify channel_connection created |
+| Stripe Checkout session and billing portal | PRTA-05 | Requires live Stripe test keys | Subscribe, upgrade agent count, cancel, verify webhook events |
+
+---
+
+## 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 < 45s
+- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter
+
+**Approval:** pending
