# Phase 10 Plan 03: Report Sign-off Summary

Finalized RUNTIME-VALIDATION.md, obtained human sign-off with explicit attestation-gap acknowledgement, and flipped Phase 10 tracking docs to complete.

## What Was Done

### Task 1 — Finalize RUNTIME-VALIDATION.md report body
Completed in the 10-02 → 10-03 handoff window: all RTVAL-01..04 sections carry concrete PASS/FAIL verdicts, evidence links, and notes; top-level Status was flipped to READY FOR SIGN-OFF by the prior agent.

### Task 2 — Human review and sign-off (checkpoint)
Reviewer Sébastien QUEROL read the report, acknowledged the attestation-only audit-trail gap for RTVAL-02/03/04, and signed off on 2026-04-13:

- Top-level **Status:** flipped to `SIGNED OFF`
- **Signed off by:** Sébastien QUEROL
- **Signed off date:** 2026-04-13
- All three sign-off checkboxes ticked `[x]`
- Reviewer explicitly accepted that only RTVAL-01 is artifact-backed; RTVAL-02/03/04 rest on technician verbal attestation. Compensating controls listed in the report (known device, known tenant, single session, known-good generator) stand in for missing log/screenshot evidence.

Commit: `5685fd9` — `docs(phase-10): human sign-off on RUNTIME-VALIDATION.md (attestation gap acknowledged)`

### Task 3 — Tick requirements, mark Phase 10 complete
- `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` already had RTVAL-01..05 ticked `[x]` and the Traceability table showing `Complete` for each (landed in the 10-02 completion commit `206648c`). Idempotent confirmation only — no edits needed.
- `.planning/ROADMAP.md`:
  - Phase 10 entry flipped from `[ ]` to `[x]` with `(completed 2026-04-13)` appended.
  - Progress table row for Phase 10 set to `v1.1 | 3/3 | Complete | 2026-04-13`.

## Verification

- `grep "^\*\*Status:\*\* SIGNED OFF" RUNTIME-VALIDATION.md` → hit
- `grep "Signed off by:\*\* Sébastien QUEROL" RUNTIME-VALIDATION.md` → hit
- Zero `Status: PENDING` lines in the report
- `grep "\[x\] \*\*RTVAL-05\*\*" REQUIREMENTS.md` → hit
- `grep "\[x\] \*\*Phase 10" ROADMAP.md` → hit
- ROADMAP.md Progress row for Phase 10 shows `3/3 | Complete | 2026-04-13`

All verification checks from the plan pass.

## Deviations from Plan

None. Task 3 REQUIREMENTS.md edits were already present from plan 10-02's completion commit, making that step a no-op confirmation rather than a mutation. No deviation rules (1-4) triggered.

## Phase 10 Closure Note — Attestation-Only Audit Trail

Phase 10 closes with a structurally weakened runtime audit trail that downstream consumers must be aware of:

- **RTVAL-01** (tenant ingestion): PASS, artifact-backed (screenshots + exact .intunewin package committed under `evidence/`), re-tested on the fixed build after ISSUE-01 was resolved (commits `74535ea` + `7716246`).
- **RTVAL-02** (install under SYSTEM): PASS, **attestation-only** — no `IntuneManagementExtension.log` excerpt, no portal screenshot.
- **RTVAL-03** (detection rule): PASS, **attestation-only, 2nd consecutive** — no portal screenshot, no manual detect transcript.
- **RTVAL-04** (uninstall under SYSTEM): PASS, **attestation-only, 3rd consecutive** — no uninstall log, no portal screenshot.

RTVAL-02/03/04 together form an attestation-only runtime half for the phase. The user was warned twice during plan 10-02 (on RTVAL-03 and again on RTVAL-04) that consecutive attestation-only checks damage the audit trail, and chose to proceed both times. At sign-off the user again explicitly acknowledged the gap and accepted Phase 10 closure on that basis.

**Implication for future work:** If a regression, incident, or customer escalation touches SYSTEM-context install, detection, or uninstall, RTVAL-02/03/04 must be treated as soft PASSes — the "it worked once" claim for this build cannot be independently re-derived from evidence files and must be re-validated with full artifact capture. Phase 11 rollout proceeds at the reviewer's risk.
