# Phase 3 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | pytest (existing from Phase 1) |
| **Config file** | tests/conftest.py (existing) |
| **Quick run command** | `pytest tests/ -v -x` |
| **Full suite command** | `pytest tests/ -v --cov=src/gsd_openclaw` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~15 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `pytest tests/ -v -x`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `pytest tests/ -v --cov=src/gsd_openclaw`
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 15 seconds

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|

| 03-01-02 | 01 | 1 | OCLW-03 | unit | `pytest tests/test_orchestrator.py::test_command_router -v` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 03-02-01 | 02 | 1 | BRDG-02 | unit | `pytest tests/test_command_executor.py::test_capture_output -v` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 03-03-01 | 03 | 2 | BRDG-04 | unit | `pytest tests/test_approval_handler.py -v` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `tests/test_orchestrator.py` — stubs for BRDG-01, BRDG-03, OCLW-03
- [ ] `tests/test_command_executor.py` — stubs for BRDG-02
- [ ] `tests/test_approval_handler.py` — stubs for BRDG-04
- [ ] `tests/test_progress_monitor.py` — stubs for BRDG-05
- [ ] Mock fixtures for tmux pane operations

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| OpenClaw dmPolicy integration | OCLW-05 | Requires running OpenClaw gateway | Deploy skill to OpenClaw, send test message from unauthorized user, verify rejection |
| Multi-channel support | OCLW-06 | Requires multiple chat platforms | Test /gsd:* commands via Feishu, verify card rendering and callbacks |

---

## 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 < 15s
- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

**Approval:** pending
