Validation Gate

Completion Criteria

A phase is complete when BOTH:

Automated tests pass (all tests in the phase's test suite green)

Manual validation confirmed, if required

A phase is NOT complete when only one criterion is met.

Manual Validation Triggers

Manual validation is required for any of:

UI changes (visual layout, user flows, interactive elements)

Major API surface changes (new endpoints, changed request/response schemas)

Changes affecting external integrations (webhooks, third-party APIs, data exports)

Any change flagged in manual_validation_triggers in the project's factory-config.json

Timing

Trigger manual validation requests as early as possible — before implementation of the next phase begins. If the next phase is independent (parallelizable), start it while waiting for manual confirmation.

Confirmation

Manual validation must be explicitly confirmed by the user. Phrases like "looks good", "LGTM", or "confirmed" count. Silence or ambiguous responses do not count.

Write confirmation to memory:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/memory.py" write \ --key "validation_confirmed:<phase_name>" \ --value '{"confirmed_at":"<ISO8601>","by":"user","method":"manual|automated"}' \ --tags "validation"
