Phase 9 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	pytest (backend) + manual browser/vitest (frontend)
Config file	backend/pytest.ini
Quick run command	cd backend && pytest tests/test_admin_overview.py -x
Full suite command	cd backend && pytest -v
Estimated runtime	~60 seconds

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run cd backend && pytest tests/test_admin_overview.py -x (after overview endpoint tasks)
• After every plan wave: Run cd backend && pytest -v
• Before /gsd:verify-work: Full suite must be green
• Max feedback latency: 60 seconds

Per-Task Verification Map

Task ID	Plan	Wave	Requirement	Threat Ref	Secure Behavior	Test Type	Automated Command	File Exists	Status
overview-endpoint	09-01	Wave 1	ADMIN-11	Admin data leak	Response never contains credentials_enc, doc content	Integration	pytest tests/test_admin_overview.py -v	backend/tests/test_admin_overview.py	✅
overview-no-sensitive	09-01	Wave 1	ADMIN-11	Sensitive field exposure	credentials_enc and document content absent from response	Security	pytest tests/test_admin_overview.py::test_overview_no_sensitive_fields	backend/tests/test_admin_overview.py	✅
admin-guard	09-02	Wave 2	ADMIN-12	Privilege escalation	Non-admin navigating to /admin/* redirected to /; admin to / redirected to /admin	Vitest	npx vitest run src/router/__tests__/router.guard.test.js	frontend/src/router/__tests__/router.guard.test.js	✅
adminview-deleted	09-05	Wave 3	ADMIN-08	Dead code	AdminView.vue absent from repo	Static	find frontend/src/ -name "AdminView.vue" (no output = pass)	N/A (static check)	✅
tailwind-safelist	09-03	Wave 3	CODE-06	Visual regression	Dynamic provider color classes present in tailwind.config.js safelist	Config	grep "safelist" frontend/tailwind.config.js	frontend/tailwind.config.js	✅

---

Security Invariants (Must All Pass)

• GET /api/admin/overview never returns credentials_enc, password_hash, or document content
• GET /api/admin/overview is admin-only (get_current_admin dep enforced)
• Non-admin user accessing /admin/* routes is redirected to / by beforeEach guard
• Admin user accessing non-admin routes (/, /settings, etc.) is redirected to /admin

Validation Audit 2026-06-13

Metric	Count
Gaps found	5
Resolved (automated)	5
Escalated to manual-only	0

All Wave 0 gaps were already filled during phase execution:

• backend/tests/test_admin_overview.py (8 tests, all passing)
• frontend/src/router/__tests__/router.guard.test.js (11 tests, all passing)
• Static checks (AdminView.vue deletion, Tailwind safelist) confirmed green
