# Validation Report

**Session ID**: `phase04-session01-media-requirements-and-provenance-baseline` **Package**: Cross-cutting **Validated**: 2026-05-29 **Result**: PASS

***

## Validation Summary

This session establishes the Phase 04 media requirements and provenance baseline as a documentation-first artifact set. The media gap matrix, PRD, UX PRD, stable docs, and security record now describe shipped media ownership, quarantine boundaries, release blockers, and later-session routing without promoting runtime media.

### Media and Parity Checks

| --------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `npm run media:check`       | PASS   | 23 media tooling checks passed, including sharp, SVGO, oxipng, FFmpeg, ffprobe, ExifTool, ImageMagick, AVIF, WebP, atlas packing, and howler packages                                    |

### Quality and Encoding Checks

| ASCII scan         | PASS   | No non-ASCII bytes found in the targeted session deliverables and touched docs   |
| LF scan            | PASS   | No CRLF line endings found in the targeted session deliverables and touched docs |

### Review Notes

The docs path review and privacy-sensitive copy review recorded in `implementation-notes.md` remain valid. No session file changed after those checks, and the current validation run did not surface any new paths, secrets, or raw historical media references.

## 4. Security And Privacy

### Status: PASS

Session 01 remains documentation-only and does not add runtime media, hosted transfer, personal data collection, provider credentials, analytics, or database-backed media state.

| Category                        | Status | Details                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Quarantine boundary             | PASS   | `EXAMPLES/` remains evidence-only and was not promoted, transformed, or copied into runtime paths                                        |
| Hosted transfer                 | PASS   | No hosted media storage, analytics transfer, or external processor path was added                                                        |
| Secrets and raw historical data | PASS   | No raw prompts, tokens, OAuth IDs, terminal output, or copied historical media were added                                                |
| Provenance baseline             | PASS   | The matrix classifies current tracked media, planned media, prototype-only evidence, rejected media, unknown provenance, and deferrals   |
| Release blockers                | PASS   | Unknown source, rights, attribution, metadata, optimization, support, fallback, accessibility, size, and privacy blockers are documented |
| GDPR / privacy                  | PASS   | No runtime personal data processing was introduced                                                                                       |

### Open Findings

None.

## 5. Conventions

### Status: PASS

This is a Markdown-only session with no application code. The changed files follow the repository's existing spec-system and docs layout, use ASCII-only content, and keep the media baseline confined to the intended cross-cutting files.

| Area      | Status | Notes                                                                                                 |
| --------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Naming    | PASS   | Session, matrix, and doc names follow the project vocabulary                                          |
| Structure | PASS   | Deliverables remain in the expected `.spec_system/`, `docs/`, `assets/`, and package README locations |
| Comments  | PASS   | No commented-out code or noisy narrative was introduced                                               |
| Testing   | PASS   | Validation is backed by recorded command results and targeted scans                                   |

## 6. Behavioral Quality Spot-Check

### Status: N/A

This session does not add or modify application behavior, so there is no BQC surface to evaluate.

## 7. Conclusion

Session 01 is ready for `updateprd`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase04-session01-media-requirements-and-provenance-baseline/validation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
