Phase 09 - Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	Go test
Config file	backend/sqlc.yaml, backend/justfile
Quick run command	cd backend && go test ./internal/web -count=1
Full suite command	cd backend && go test ./... -count=1
Estimated runtime	~30-90 seconds, DB-backed tests skip unless TEST_DATABASE_URL is configured

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run cd backend && go test ./internal/web -count=1
• After every plan wave: Run cd backend && go test ./... -count=1
• Before $gsd-verify-work: Full suite must be green
• Max feedback latency: 90 seconds for local non-DB path; DB-backed path depends on TEST_DATABASE_URL

Per-Task Verification Map

Task ID	Plan	Wave	Requirement	Threat Ref	Secure Behavior	Test Type	Automated Command	File Exists	Status
09-01-01	01	1	ETAPE-01, ETAPE-06	T-09-01	Etapes are tablo-owned rows with no parent relationship	migration/sqlc	cd backend && just generate && go test ./internal/web -count=1	yes	pending
09-01-02	01	1	ETAPE-03, ETAPE-04	T-09-02	tasks.etape_id is nullable and ON DELETE SET NULL	migration/sqlc	cd backend && just generate && go test ./internal/web -count=1	yes	pending
09-02-01	02	2	ETAPE-01, ETAPE-02	T-09-03	Only tablo owners can create/edit/delete/reorder etapes	handler integration	cd backend && go test ./internal/web -count=1	yes	pending
09-03-01	03	3	ETAPE-03, ETAPE-05	T-09-04	Task assignment rejects etapes outside the task tablo	handler integration	cd backend && go test ./internal/web -count=1	yes	pending
09-04-01	04	4	ETAPE-05	T-09-05	Reorder preserves etape_id and hidden filtered tasks	regression integration	cd backend && go test ./internal/web -count=1	yes	pending
09-04-02	04	4	ETAPE-01..06	-	Full backend suite remains green	full suite	cd backend && go test ./... -count=1	yes	pending

Wave 0 Requirements

• Existing Go test infrastructure covers the phase.
• Add RED tests before implementation for etape schema behavior, ownership, delete-unassign, assignment, filtering, and reorder preservation.
• just generate must run after migration/query/template changes to refresh sqlc and templ generated code.

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
Top-strip chip interaction and kanban filtering	ETAPE-05	HTMX/browser interaction and active chip state are easier to confirm visually after automated handler tests pass	Start cd backend && just dev, open a tablo, create etapes, assign tasks, click etape and Unassigned chips, confirm the existing four kanban columns remain usable
Drag/drop after filtering	ETAPE-05	Sortable.js behavior depends on browser DOM events	With an etape filter active, drag a task across columns, reload, and confirm status and etape assignment persist

---

Validation Sign-Off

• All tasks have automated verify commands 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 target documented
• nyquist_compliant: true set in frontmatter

Approval: pending
