# Phase 05 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | `pytest` + `pytest-asyncio` |
| **Config file** | `pyproject.toml` |
| **Quick run command** | `pytest tests/adapter/matrix/test_reconciliation.py tests/adapter/matrix/test_restart_persistence.py -v` |
| **Full suite command** | `pytest tests/ -v` |
| **Estimated runtime** | targeted slices < 60 seconds each; full suite longer |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run the exact `<automated>` command from the task that just changed
- **After every plan wave:** Run `pytest tests/adapter/matrix/ -v`
- **Before `$gsd-verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 60 seconds for task-level slices

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `tests/adapter/matrix/test_reconciliation.py` — startup recovery of user and room metadata from Matrix state
- [ ] `tests/adapter/matrix/test_restart_persistence.py` additions — deterministic backfill for legacy rooms missing `platform_chat_id`
- [ ] `tests/adapter/matrix/test_context_commands.py` additions — room-local `!clear` rotation semantics
- [ ] `tests/adapter/matrix/test_files.py` additions — cross-room attachment isolation and shared-root consistency
- [ ] Compose smoke coverage or documented verification command for `docker-compose.prod.yml` and `docker-compose.fullstack.yml`

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Restart after real Matrix room topology exists | PH05-03 | Full recovery depends on live Space hierarchy and persisted homeserver state | Start the bot, provision a Space and chat rooms, stop the bot, remove local SQLite metadata, restart, confirm routing and room labels are rebuilt before live messages are handled |
| Shared `/agents` volume behavior across bot and platform containers | PH05-04 | Container mounts and permissions are environment-dependent | Run `docker compose -f docker-compose.fullstack.yml up`, upload a file in Matrix, confirm the agent sees the relative `workspace_path`, then confirm an agent-created file is readable back from the bot side |
| Operator handoff of prod compose | PH05-05 | Final deploy contract depends on real env files and target host conventions | Run `docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml config` on the target deployment checkout and confirm only bot services, required env vars, and shared volumes are present |

---

## 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
- [x] Feedback latency target tightened to task slices under 60s
- [x] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

**Approval:** pending
