Phase 6 — 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

Wave 0 Requirements

• tests/unit/test_web_channel.py — CHAT-01,02: web normalizer, WebSocket message handling
• tests/unit/test_web_conversations.py — CHAT-03: conversation CRUD API
• tests/unit/test_web_rbac.py — CHAT-04: RBAC enforcement on chat endpoints

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
WebSocket chat sends message and receives real-time reply	CHAT-01,05	Requires live WebSocket + LLM	Open /chat, select agent, send message, verify response appears
Conversation history loads on page visit	CHAT-03	UI rendering	Navigate away and back to /chat, verify previous messages visible
Typing indicator displays during response generation	CHAT-05	UI animation	Send message, observe animated dots before response
Agent markdown renders correctly	CHAT-05	Visual rendering	Trigger a response with code blocks / lists / bold
Operator can chat but not see admin nav items	CHAT-04	RBAC visual	Login as operator, verify /chat accessible but admin-only items hidden

---

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
