+# Phase 8 — Validation Strategy
+
+> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

+
+## Test Infrastructure
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Framework** | go test (stdlib) |
+| **Config file** | none — built-in Go test runner |
+| **Quick run command** | `go test ./synth/...` |
+| **Full suite command** | `go test ./...` |
+| **Estimated runtime** | ~5 seconds |
+
+---
+
+## Sampling Rate
+
+- **After every task commit:** Run `go test ./synth/...`
+- **After every plan wave:** Run `go test ./...`
+- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
+- **Max feedback latency:** 5 seconds
+
+---
+
+## Per-Task Verification Map
+
+| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
+|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|

+
+## Wave 0 Requirements
+
+*Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements.*
+
+---
+
+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+*All phase behaviors have automated verification.*
+
+---
+
+## 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 < 5s
+- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter
+
+**Approval:** pending
