Phase 2 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	go test (stdlib)
Config file	go.mod (already exists)
Quick run command	go test ./...
Full suite command	go test -v -race ./...
Estimated runtime	~5 seconds

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run go test ./...
• After every plan wave: Run go test -v -race ./...
• Before /gsd:verify-work: Full suite must be green
• Max feedback latency: 5 seconds

Per-Task Verification Map

Task ID	Plan	Wave	Requirement	Test Type	Automated Command	File Exists	Status
02-01-01	01	1	DISC-04, STATE-04	unit	go test -run TestRegistry ./...	❌ W0	⬜ pending
02-01-02	01	1	I3-01	unit	go test -run TestResolveWorkspace ./...	❌ W0	⬜ pending

02-02-02	02	2	DISC-04	unit	go test -run TestLabel ./...	❌ W0	⬜ pending

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

---

Wave 0 Requirements

• go get go.i3wm.org/i3/v4 — add i3 IPC dependency
• Test stubs for daemon registry, workspace resolution, client/server

If none: "Existing infrastructure covers all phase requirements."

---

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
vmux switch auth navigates to correct workspace	I3-02	Requires real i3 WM	Run with 2+ Claude sessions in different workspaces, verify switch works
vmuxd autostart on vmux list	-	Requires daemon lifecycle	Run vmux list, verify vmuxd process appears in ps
Workspace column in vmux list	I3-01	Requires real i3	Verify workspace names appear correctly

---

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 < 5s
• nyquist_compliant: true set in frontmatter

Approval: pending
