# Phase 10 — 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

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `tests/unit/test_web_search.py` — CAP-01: Brave Search API integration
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_kb_ingestion.py` — CAP-02,03: document chunking, embedding, search
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_http_request.py` — CAP-04: HTTP request tool validation
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_calendar.py` — CAP-05: Google Calendar OAuth + CRUD
- [ ] `tests/unit/test_tool_output.py` — CAP-06: natural language tool result formatting
- [ ] Install: `uv add pypdf python-docx python-pptx openpyxl pandas firecrawl-py youtube-transcript-api google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-api-python-client`

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Web search returns real results | CAP-01 | Requires live Brave API key | Send message requiring web search, verify results |
| Document upload + search works end-to-end | CAP-02,03 | Requires file upload + LLM | Upload PDF, ask agent about its content |
| Calendar books a meeting | CAP-05 | Requires live Google Calendar OAuth | Connect calendar, ask agent to book a meeting |
| Agent response reads naturally with tool data | CAP-06 | Qualitative assessment | Chat with agent using tools, verify natural language |

---

## 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
