# Phase 1 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | pytest 8.x + pytest-asyncio 0.24+ |
| **Config file** | `pyproject.toml` — `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` section (Wave 0) |
| **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

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `pyproject.toml` — add `[tool.pytest.ini_options]` with `asyncio_mode = "auto"` and `testpaths = ["tests"]`
- [ ] `tests/conftest.py` — shared fixtures: async DB session, two-tenant fixture (tenant_a, tenant_b), Redis mock, LiteLLM mock
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_normalize.py` — CHAN-01: Slack payload → KonstructMessage
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_tenant_resolution.py` — TNNT-02: workspace_id lookup
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_ratelimit.py` — CHAN-05: token bucket behavior
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_redis_namespacing.py` — TNNT-03: key prefix enforcement
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_tenant_isolation.py` — TNNT-01: two-tenant RLS fixture (most critical test in phase)
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_slack_flow.py` — CHAN-02: end-to-end Slack → LLM → reply
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_llm_fallback.py` — LLM-01: LiteLLM fallback behavior
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_llm_providers.py` — LLM-02: Ollama + Anthropic routing
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_agent_persona.py` — AGNT-01: persona reflected in LLM prompt
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_portal_tenants.py` — PRTA-01: tenant CRUD API
- [ ] `tests/integration/test_portal_agents.py` — PRTA-02: Agent Designer API
- [ ] Framework install: `uv add --dev pytest pytest-asyncio pytest-httpx`

*Greenfield project — all test files are new.*

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| TLS enforced on all inter-service communication | TNNT-04 | Docker Compose network config; no in-process test | Verify docker-compose.yml uses TLS between services; inspect with `openssl s_client` |

---

## 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
