# Phase 18 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | xUnit 2.9.3 |
| **Config file** | none — implicit discovery |
| **Quick run command** | `dotnet test SharepointToolbox.Tests --filter "Category=Unit" --no-build` |
| **Full suite command** | `dotnet test SharepointToolbox.Tests --no-build` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~15 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `dotnet test SharepointToolbox.Tests --filter "Category=Unit" --no-build`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `dotnet test SharepointToolbox.Tests --no-build`
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 15 seconds

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 18-01-01 | 01 | 1 | OWN-01 | unit | `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SettingsServiceTests"` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 18-01-02 | 01 | 1 | OWN-01 | unit | `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SettingsViewModelOwnershipTests"` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 18-01-03 | 01 | 1 | OWN-02 | unit | `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~OwnershipElevationServiceTests"` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 18-02-01 | 02 | 2 | OWN-02 | unit | `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~PermissionsViewModelOwnershipTests"` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 18-02-02 | 02 | 2 | OWN-01 | integration | `dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~SettingsView"` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |

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

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `SharepointToolbox.Tests/Services/OwnershipElevationServiceTests.cs` — stubs for OWN-02 elevation
- [ ] `SharepointToolbox.Tests/ViewModels/SettingsViewModelOwnershipTests.cs` — stubs for OWN-01 toggle
- [ ] `SharepointToolbox.Tests/ViewModels/PermissionsViewModelOwnershipTests.cs` — stubs for OWN-02 scan retry

*Existing infrastructure covers framework requirements.*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Settings toggle visible in UI | OWN-01 | XAML visual | Open Settings tab, verify checkbox present and defaults to unchecked |
| Auto-elevated row visually distinct | OWN-02 | XAML visual | Run scan with toggle ON against access-denied site, verify amber highlight |

---

## 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 < 15s
- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter

**Approval:** pending
