Phase 11 - Validation Strategy

Retroactive Nyquist validation for Phase 11: Visual Design, Responsive Layout & Cleanup.

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	Vitest 4.1.7 + Vue Test Utils + happy-dom
Config file	frontend/vitest.config.js
Quick run command	cd frontend && npm run test -- --run src/components/ui/__tests__/TreeItem.test.js
Full suite command	cd frontend && npm run test -- --run
Build gate	cd frontend && npm run build
Estimated runtime	~4 seconds for full Vitest, ~2 seconds for build

---

Sampling Rate

• After every Phase 11 task commit: run the focused component/router test touched by the task.
• After every Phase 11 plan: run cd frontend && npm run test -- --run.
• Before /gsd:verify-work: run cd frontend && npm run test -- --run and cd frontend && npm run build.
• Max feedback latency: under 10 seconds locally for the automated frontend gate.

Wave 0 Requirements

Existing infrastructure covered the phase requirements. No Wave 0 framework installation was needed.

Retroactive validation added direct TreeItem assertions in frontend/src/components/ui/__tests__/TreeItem.test.js for:

• VISUAL-01: loading skeleton labels use w-12, w-16, w-20 and do not set inline width.
• VISUAL-03: expand button, selectable row button, and router-link row include focus-visible ring classes.

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
Cross-browser form rendering	VISUAL-02	Vitest can assert classes and plugin wiring, but cannot prove Chrome/Firefox/Safari native control rendering is visually identical.	Open ShareModal, CloudCredentialModal, and SettingsAccountTab in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Inspect inputs, selects, textareas, checkboxes, and focus states for consistent appearance.
Focus ring visibility at 375px	VISUAL-03, RESP-01, RESP-05	DOM tests assert focus classes and drawer state, but visual focus contrast and clipping require browser rendering.	In a 375x667 viewport, tab through hamburger buttons, sidebar links, StorageBrowser actions, and TreeItem expand/label controls. Confirm focus rings are visible and not clipped.
Touch target usability at 375px	RESP-03	Tests assert min-w-[36px] min-h-[36px] and 11-07 makes action controls always visible; actual tap comfort is still best checked on a physical device.	At 375px width, tap Rename, Delete, Share, and Move icon buttons in document/folder rows. Confirm each tap registers without precision targeting.

Validation Sign-Off

• All tasks have automated verify commands or documented build/static evidence.
• Sampling continuity: no 3 consecutive Phase 11 tasks lack automated verification.
• Wave 0 not required; existing Vitest infrastructure covers frontend validation.
• No watch-mode flags used.
• Feedback latency is under 10 seconds for the full local frontend gate.
• nyquist_compliant: true set in frontmatter.

Approval: complete 2026-06-17. Automated Phase 11 coverage is green, and the Phase 11 UAT mobile gaps are resolved by plan 11-07 with regression coverage.
