# Phase 7.4 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | pytest + pytest-asyncio |
| **Config file** | `backend/pytest.ini` |
| **Quick run command** | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py -v` |
| **Full suite command** | `pytest -v` |
| **Estimated runtime** | ~30 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py tests/test_auth_deps.py -x`
- **After every plan wave:** Run `pytest -v`
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full suite must be green
- **Max feedback latency:** 30 seconds

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Threat Ref | Secure Behavior | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|------------|-----------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| FGP-01 | 01 | 0 | D-04/D-05 | T-7.4-01 | xfail stubs created for all 4 test cases | unit | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py -v` | ✅ | ✅ green |
| FGP-02 | 01 | 1 | D-04 | T-7.4-01 | `_compute_fgp` helper returns 16-char hex HMAC | unit | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py::test_fgp_match_returns_200 -x` | ✅ | ✅ green |
| FGP-03 | 01 | 1 | D-05 | — | `create_access_token` embeds `fgp` claim | unit | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py::test_fgp_match_returns_200 -x` | ✅ | ✅ green |
| FGP-04 | 01 | 1 | D-06 | T-7.4-01 | Correct fgp → 200 | integration | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py::test_fgp_match_returns_200 -x` | ✅ | ✅ green |
| FGP-05 | 01 | 1 | D-03/D-06 | T-7.4-01 | Wrong fgp → 401 "Token fingerprint mismatch" | integration | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py::test_fgp_mismatch_returns_401 -x` | ✅ | ✅ green |
| FGP-06 | 01 | 1 | D-06 | — | Token without fgp claim → 200 (migration grace) | integration | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py::test_no_fgp_claim_allowed -x` | ✅ | ✅ green |
| FGP-07 | 01 | 1 | D-02 | — | Missing headers → empty-string binding works | integration | `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py::test_missing_headers_empty_string_binding -x` | ✅ | ✅ green |

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

---

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [x] `tests/test_auth_fgp.py` — created (Wave 0 stubs) then promoted to 4 real assertions (Wave 1)

*Existing infrastructure covers all other requirements (conftest autouse fixtures, pytest-asyncio, FakeRedis).*

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Full suite regression check | All prior phases | Confirm 0 regressions from signature changes | Run `pytest -v` and verify count ≥ prior passing total |

---

## Validation Audit 2026-06-06

| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Gaps found | 0 |
| Resolved | 7 |
| Escalated | 0 |

All 7 tasks confirmed COVERED. Ran `pytest tests/test_auth_fgp.py tests/test_auth_deps.py -v` — 14 passed, 0 failed. Full suite (404 passed, 4 skipped, 7 xfailed, 0 failed) confirmed in Plan 02 summary. No test generation needed — Wave 1 promoted all stubs to real assertions during execution.
