Phase 23 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	vitest ^3.0.5
Quick run command	pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui vitest run --reporter=verbose
Full suite command	pnpm vitest run
Estimated runtime	~20 seconds

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run relevant test file(s) per task verify command
• After every plan wave: Run pnpm vitest run
• Before /gsd:verify-work: Full suite must be green
• Max feedback latency: 20 seconds

Status: pending / green / red / flaky

Wave 0 Requirements

• Test stubs for brainstormer-specific components and hooks
• DB migration for message_type column

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
Structured questioning flow	AGENT-01	Requires LLM interaction	Start brainstormer conversation, verify structured questions appear
Spec card renders as structured card	AGENT-03	Visual rendering	Send spec message, verify card layout
Task creation via handoff	AGENT-06	Integration with issue API	Approve spec, verify tasks appear in dashboard

---

Validation Sign-Off

• All tasks have <automated> verify or Wave 0 dependencies
• Sampling continuity
• Wave 0 covers all MISSING references
• No watch-mode flags
• Feedback latency < 20s
• nyquist_compliant: true set in frontmatter

Approval: pending
