# Phase 1 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | vitest 3.x (already configured in root vitest.config.ts) |
| **Config file** | `vitest.config.ts` (root multi-project config) |
| **Quick run command** | `pnpm vitest run --project packages/db` |
| **Full suite command** | `pnpm vitest run` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~30 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `pnpm vitest run --project packages/db`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `pnpm vitest run`
- **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 |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 01-01-01 | 01 | 1 | FOUND-01 | unit | `pnpm vitest run packages/branding` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 01-02-01 | 02 | 1 | FOUND-02 | file-check | `test -f .planning/ZONE-TAXONOMY.md` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 01-03-01 | 03 | 1 | FOUND-03 | script | `echo "test" | .git/hooks/commit-msg` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 01-04-01 | 04 | 1 | FOUND-04 | config-check | `git config --get rerere.enabled` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |

*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky*

---

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `packages/branding/src/__tests__/vocab.test.ts` — unit test for VOCAB export
- [ ] Branding package added to vitest config projects

*If none: "Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements."*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Pre-commit hook rejects bad messages | FOUND-03 | Git hook only runs during actual commits | Run `git commit --allow-empty -m "bad"` and verify rejection, then `git commit --allow-empty -m "[nexus] good"` and verify acceptance |
| Rebase runbook accuracy | FOUND-04 | Document content review | Read `.planning/REBASE-RUNBOOK.md` and verify it documents `git range-diff` workflow |

---

## 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
