# Phase 06 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | go test (stdlib) |
| **Config file** | none — tests use in-memory TOML strings |
| **Quick run command** | `go test ./config/... -count=1` |
| **Full suite command** | `go test ./... -count=1` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~2 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `go test ./config/... -count=1`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `go test ./... -count=1`
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 2 seconds

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 06-01-01 | 01 | 1 | CFG-01, CFG-04 | unit | `go test ./config/... -run TestParse` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 06-01-02 | 01 | 1 | CFG-02, CFG-03 | unit | `go test ./config/... -run TestDiscover` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 06-01-03 | 01 | 1 | CFG-05 | unit | `go test ./config/... -run TestUnknown` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 06-02-01 | 02 | 2 | CFG-01, CFG-04 | integration | `go test ./... -run TestRunSynthesis` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 06-02-02 | 02 | 2 | CFG-03 | integration | `go test ./cmd/... -run TestConfig` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |

*Status: ⬜ pending · ✅ green · ❌ red · ⚠️ flaky*

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `config/config_test.go` — stubs for parse, discover, validate, merge tests
- [ ] Existing `go test` infrastructure covers all phase requirements

*Existing test infrastructure (go test) covers all phase requirements. New test files created alongside implementation.*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Auto-discover from `~/.config/netsynth/config.toml` | CFG-02 | Requires real home directory | Create config in `~/.config/netsynth/`, run netsynth, verify it loads |
| Ctrl+C after config load | CFG-01 | End-to-end with capture | Load config, start capture, Ctrl+C, verify MP3 uses overridden frequency |

*Most behaviors have automated verification via unit tests with in-memory TOML.*

---

## 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 < 2s
- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

**Approval:** pending
