# Phase 12 — Validation Strategy

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

---

## Test Infrastructure

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Framework** | pytest 8.x, Vitest 4.x, Vue Test Utils 2.x |
| **Config file** | `backend/pytest.ini`, `frontend/vitest.config.js` |
| **Quick run command** | `cd backend && pytest -q tests/test_cloud.py tests/test_cloud_backends.py tests/test_cloud_capabilities.py tests/test_cloud_items.py` and focused frontend Vitest files |
| **Full suite command** | `cd backend && pytest -v`; `cd frontend && npm test`; `cd frontend && npm run build` |
| **Estimated runtime** | Establish baseline during Wave 0; keep focused feedback under 60 seconds |

---

## Sampling Rate

- **After every task commit:** Run the focused test file(s) named by that task.
- **After every plan wave:** Run backend and frontend full suites for all touched layers.
- **Before `/gsd:verify-work`:** Full backend suite, frontend suite, production build, and required PostgreSQL integration tests must be green.
- **Max feedback latency:** 60 seconds for focused task verification.

## Per-Task Verification Map

| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Threat Ref | Secure Behavior | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
|---------|------|------|-------------|------------|-----------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
| 12-01-01 | 01 | 1 | CONN-04, CLOUD-08 | T-12-06 | Capability discovery never mutates provider content | unit | `cd backend && pytest -q tests/test_cloud_capabilities.py` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 12-01-02 | 01 | 1 | CACHE-02, SYNC-01 | T-12-01, T-12-02 | Cloud item metadata is owner and connection scoped | unit + PostgreSQL integration | `cd backend && pytest -q tests/test_cloud_items.py` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 12-02-01 | 02 | 2 | CLOUD-01, SYNC-01 | T-12-01, T-12-07 | Connection-ID browse cannot cross owners and only reconciles complete listings | API integration | `cd backend && pytest -q tests/test_cloud.py tests/test_cloud_items.py` | Existing + W0 additions | ⬜ pending |
| 12-02-02 | 02 | 2 | CACHE-01 | T-12-09 | Browse performs no byte download, MinIO write, or quota mutation | negative integration | `cd backend && pytest -q tests/test_cloud.py -k 'no_bytes or quota'` | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 12-03-01 | 03 | 2 | CONN-04, CLOUD-08 | T-12-10 | Unsupported controls remain safe, focusable, and explanatory on pointer/keyboard/touch | component | `cd frontend && npm test -- --run StorageBrowser` | Existing file needs expansion | ⬜ pending |
| 12-03-02 | 03 | 2 | CLOUD-01 | T-12-01 | Frontend routes and requests use connection UUID, including duplicate providers | store/view component | `cd frontend && npm test -- --run CloudFolderView CloudStorageView cloudConnections` | Partial/W0 | ⬜ pending |
| 12-04-01 | 04 | 3 | All Phase 12 | T-12-01..10 | Full owner/admin, regression, build, and PostgreSQL gates pass | integration/regression | full suite commands above | Existing + additions | ⬜ pending |

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

## Wave 0 Requirements

- [ ] `backend/tests/test_cloud_capabilities.py` — capability normalization, reason states, safe discovery, item overrides.
- [ ] `backend/tests/test_cloud_items.py` — owner-scoped persistence, stable identity, reconciliation, metadata-only invariants.
- [ ] PostgreSQL fixtures/marker for unique constraints, foreign keys, UUIDs, indexes, and cascade behavior.
- [ ] Frontend test files for `CloudFolderView.vue` and `CloudStorageView.vue` if focused files do not already exist.
- [ ] Shared provider response fixtures for Google Drive, OneDrive, Nextcloud, and generic WebDAV normalization.
- [ ] Baseline focused and full-suite runtimes recorded before implementation begins.

---

## Manual-Only Verifications

| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| Tooltip placement and clarity across desktop/mobile viewports | CLOUD-08 | Visual polish and viewport clipping need rendered-browser review | Use Playwright at mobile and desktop widths; hover, keyboard-focus, and tap unsupported controls; verify explanation is readable and does not overlap adjacent UI |
| Cached-first folder transition preserves perceived continuity | CLOUD-01 | Perceived flicker and scroll stability benefit from browser observation | Seed cached metadata, delay provider refresh, navigate folders, and verify rows remain usable with only the subtle folder-level refresh indicator |

---

## Validation Sign-Off

- [x] All proposed implementation tasks have an automated verification route or Wave 0 dependency.
- [x] Sampling continuity: no three consecutive tasks may occur without automated verification.
- [x] Wave 0 identifies every currently missing focused test/fixture.
- [x] Commands use one-shot test modes, not watch mode.
- [x] Focused feedback target is under 60 seconds.
- [x] `nyquist_compliant: true` is set in frontmatter.

**Approval:** pending plan-checker validation
