Phase 1 — Validation Strategy

Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

---

Test Infrastructure

Property	Value
Framework	pytest 7.x
Config file	none — Wave 0 installs
Quick run command	python -m pytest tests/test_tradier.py -x -q
Full suite command	python -m pytest tests/ -q
Estimated runtime	~5 seconds

---

Sampling Rate

• After every task commit: Run python -m pytest tests/test_tradier.py -x -q
• After every plan wave: Run python -m pytest tests/ -q
• Before /gsd:verify-work: Full suite must be green
• Max feedback latency: 5 seconds

Wave 0 Requirements

• tests/test_tradier.py — stubs for DATA-01 through DATA-05 and DATA-08
• tests/conftest.py — shared fixtures (mock Tradier responses)
• pytest install — if not already present

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

Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
Production Greeks accuracy	DATA-03	Sandbox returns no Greeks; production API key required	Call chain for AAPL, verify delta/gamma/theta/vega/rho are non-null floats

---

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
