+# Phase 11 — Validation Strategy
+
+> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

+
+## Test Infrastructure
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Framework** | go test |
+| **Config file** | none — standard Go test runner |
+| **Quick run command** | `go test ./synth/... ./config/...` |
+| **Full suite command** | `go test ./...` |
+| **Estimated runtime** | ~10 seconds |
+
+---
+
+## Sampling Rate
+
+- **After every task commit:** Run `go test ./synth/... ./config/...`
+- **After every plan wave:** Run `go test ./...`
+- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
+- **Max feedback latency:** 10 seconds

+## Per-Task Verification Map
+
+| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
+|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
+| 11-01-01 | 01 | 1 | GRP-02 | unit | `go test ./synth/... -run TestAllClassesHaveConfig` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+| 11-01-02 | 01 | 1 | GRP-02 | unit | `go test ./synth/... -run TestFrequenciesUnique` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+| 11-02-01 | 02 | 2 | GRP-02 | unit | `go test ./config/... -run TestPrintConfig` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+| 11-02-02 | 02 | 2 | GRP-03 | unit | `go test ./config/... -run TestLoad` | ✅ | ⬜ pending |
+
+*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky*
+

+
+## Wave 0 Requirements
+
+*Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements. Test helpers already exist in synth and config packages.*
+
+---
+
+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
+|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
+| Family-coherent sound output | Success criteria 2 | Perceptual audio quality | Generate MP3 from representative pcap, listen for family grouping |
+
+---
+
+## 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 < 10s
+- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter
