**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T001 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded baseline verification.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - verification and documentation only.

### Task T002 - Audit catalog, configs, docs, and browser coverage

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:44 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:45 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Catalog state: `apps/web/src/data/mediaCatalog.ts` has 2 approved battlefield runtime records and 12 blocked records spanning references, portraits, brand, public-demo media, and generated drafts. Records already include fallback, accessibility, privacy, and blocker fields, but S0407-specific notes and helper summaries are missing.
* Helper state: `apps/web/src/lib/mediaCatalog.ts` only exposes release groups and fallback coverage. It needs deterministic summaries for accessibility, privacy, metadata, blockers, and release-ready coverage.
* Config state: `scripts/media-visual-promotion-config.mjs` and `scripts/public-demo-media-config.mjs` already use explicit inventories, safe path prefixes, docs references, byte budgets, cache policy, and quarantine exclusions. A root gate is missing to reconcile those configs with catalog records, draft manifest blockers, docs, and browser evidence.
* Draft state: `assets/generated/phase04/draft-generation-manifest.json` is non-runtime, redacted, budget-gated, and blocker-backed. It still needs root gate coverage that proves drafts do not appear as release-ready runtime, cache, docs, or generated-output records.
* Docs state: `docs/media-assets.md`, `scripts/README_scripts.md`, and public-demo docs describe existing Session 04-06 gates. `docs/release.md` and `docs/privacy-and-security.md` still reference older Phase 02 closeout wording and cache values, and no stable doc names `media:gates:check`.
* Browser coverage state: Playwright currently verifies battlefield render, failed art fallbacks, public-demo speech/music behavior, blocked audio fallback copy, service-worker readiness, and offline shell reload. It lacks explicit reduced-motion assertions, named failed-media helpers, privacy-safe browser error assertions, screenshot evidence hooks for S0407 paths, and layout overlap checks.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T002 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded audit findings.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - audit and documentation only.

### Task T003 - Create implementation and security compliance artifacts

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:44 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:46 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Created session implementation notes with environment, progress, and task log sections.
* Created security compliance artifact scoped to accessibility, privacy, metadata, release blockers, public-demo cache policy, and quarantine review.
* Seeded initial security findings for no-credential local execution, sensitive-output redaction, and `EXAMPLES/` quarantine.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - initialized and updated task log.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/security-compliance.md` - initialized compliance artifact.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T003 complete and updated progress.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - session artifacts only.

***

### Task T004 - Create media release gate config

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:46 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:48 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added an explicit Session 07 release-gate config with approved and non-approved statuses, safe path prefixes, docs requirements, catalog record expectations, visual/public-demo/draft gate command metadata, browser evidence requirements, lazy media budgets, service-worker cache version, and sensitive-output patterns.
* Kept the config explicit and repository-relative so the root checker can avoid broad media discovery.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/media-release-gates-config.mjs` - new release-gate config.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T004 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T004.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: config declares allowed path prefixes and sensitive-output patterns for later validation.

***

### Task T005 - Define release-gate fixtures

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:48 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:49 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added fixture records for approved, conditional, planned, prototype-only, rejected, unknown, deferred, missing-docs, unsafe-path, and sensitive-output cases.
* Added a fixture coverage test so future helper tests can reuse the same cases.

**Files Changed**:

* `tests/mediaReleaseGates.test.ts` - new release-gate fixture coverage.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T005 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T005.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: fixtures include the same catalog fields used by the protocol media catalog contract.

***

### Task T006 - Create media release gate checker helpers

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:49 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:53 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added the release-gate checker with exported helpers for config schema checks, redacted issue creation, catalog loading through a bounded `tsx` subprocess, approved/blocker policy validation, docs references, draft manifest checks, browser evidence tokens, safe path validation, and sensitive-output scanning.
* Added explicit error codes and deterministic issue ordering.
* Added timeout/retry plumbing for dependent media gate scripts.
* Smoke-ran `node scripts/check-media-release-gates.mjs --json --skip-dependent-gates`; it executed and failed only on expected future tasks: docs tokens, approved docs evidence, and browser evidence helpers/tests not yet added.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/check-media-release-gates.mjs` - new root checker helpers and CLI surface.
* `scripts/media-release-gates-config.mjs` - tightened the `EXAMPLES/` sensitive-pattern check to avoid false positives from normal quarantine path references.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T006 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T006.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: all catalog data is loaded through protocol validation and explicit safe path checks.
* Failure path completeness: missing files, invalid JSON, invalid config, subprocess failures, and timeouts produce stable issue codes.
* External dependency resilience: dependent gate commands run with timeout, bounded output, retry/backoff, and visible failure details.
* Error information boundaries: issue details are redacted for secret-like strings and absolute paths before output.

***

### Task T007 - Add catalog helper summaries

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:53 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:54 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added summary helpers for accessibility, privacy, metadata, fallback, release blockers, and release readiness.
* Added validated summary filters for status, category, group, surface, release state, and bounded limits.
* Reused existing deterministic matrix/id ordering.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/mediaCatalog.ts` - added summary interfaces, filters, and helpers.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T007 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T007.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: summary filters validate protocol enum values before producing results.
* State freshness on re-entry: summaries recompute from passed records and never cache catalog state.

***

### Task T008 - Add root media gate command

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:54 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:55 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added the root `media:gates:check` npm command beside existing media gate names.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T008 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T008.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - package script wiring only.

***

### Task T009 - Implement media release gate CLI orchestration

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:53 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:55 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Implemented CLI argument parsing, JSON/text output, nonzero failure exits, deterministic issue ordering, stable issue codes, redacted details, empty catalog detection, missing/invalid file states, and unsupported-tool timeout mapping.
* Full command smoke run: `npm run media:gates:check -- --json` executed and returned expected current failures for docs/browser evidence only.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/check-media-release-gates.mjs` - CLI orchestration and reporting.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T009 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T009.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: every CLI failure path emits structured issues and exits nonzero.
* Error information boundaries: issue details are redacted before text or JSON output.

***

### Task T010 - Validate approved catalog records

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:53 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:55 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added approved-record checks for status, protocol release readiness, release blockers, fallback, accessibility, privacy, required surfaces, required outputs, mirrors, safe paths, metadata, browser support, total byte budgets, and docs evidence.
* Current gate output reports only docs evidence failures for approved records; media contract, accessibility, privacy, metadata, fallback, browser support, and budget checks pass for the two approved battlefield records.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/check-media-release-gates.mjs` - approved catalog validation.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T010 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T010.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: approved record checks compare catalog fields against the explicit release-gate config and protocol release-readiness result.

***

### Task T011 - Validate non-approved catalog and draft blockers

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:53 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:55 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added non-approved catalog status and blocker validation.
* Added catalog draft validation that prevents runtime outputs and requires blockers.
* Added draft manifest validation for non-runtime policy, staging-only output, provider secret/raw payload flags, allowed statuses, and release blockers.
* Current gate output shows blocked catalog and draft policy checks pass for 12 blocked catalog records and 11 draft manifest records.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/check-media-release-gates.mjs` - blocked catalog and draft validation.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T011 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T011.

***

### Task T012 - Validate visual and public-demo configs

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:53 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:55 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added dependent validation for `scripts/check-visual-media-promotion.mjs`, `scripts/check-public-demo-media.mjs`, and `scripts/check-media-generation-manifest.mjs` through bounded JSON subprocesses with retry/backoff.
* Added public-demo service-worker cache version and lazy media precache validation.
* Full `npm run media:gates:check -- --json` run checked both dependent gates successfully; remaining failures are docs and browser evidence tokens that belong to later tasks.

**Files Changed**:

* `scripts/check-media-release-gates.mjs` - dependent gate and public-demo cache/lazy policy validation.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T012 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T012.

**BQC Fixes**:

* External dependency resilience: dependent checks use timeout, retry/backoff, max output, and explicit failure-path reporting.
* Failure path completeness: invalid JSON, nonzero exits, stale cache versions, and lazy-media precache violations produce stable issue codes.

***

### Task T013 - Tighten app media catalog notes

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:55 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:57 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added S0407 notes to approved battlefield runtime records for fallback, accessibility, privacy, release-gate, docs, and browser evidence coverage.
* Added S0407 blocker notes to conditional reference, portrait, brand, public-demo icon, showcase, speech, and music records without changing their non-approved statuses.
* Updated shared privacy helper notes for catalog records and draft records.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/data/mediaCatalog.ts` - S0407 catalog notes.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/tasks.md` - marked T013 complete and updated progress.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T013.

* Contract alignment: no conditional status was promoted; approved records still have no blockers and blocked records keep blockers.

***

### Task T014 - Expand browser guard helpers

**Started**: 2026-05-29 21:57 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 21:58 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added guard options for expected console and failed-asset patterns.
* Added privacy-leak assertions for page errors, console errors, failed requests, and responses.
* Added helpers for routing expected media failures, asserting reduced-motion preference, checking no privacy leaks, and checking element overlap.
* Kept existing screenshot helpers available for S0407 evidence.

# 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-session07-media-accessibility-privacy-and-performance-gates/implementation-notes.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.
