Accepted non-release deferrals:

* Conditional public demo speech, music, portraits, brand, showcase, install icons, and generated references remain tracked but not release-ready.
* Planned full app file-backed audio, SFX, alerts, celebration audio, HUD art, achievement icons, optional video, and expanded battlefield variants remain future work.
* Quarantined `EXAMPLES/` media remains reference-only and cannot be copied, transformed, imported, cached, or used as generation input.
* Hosted media transfer, analytics, collaboration identity, public replay/media hosting, War Room federation, mobile certification, trusted erasure, and decommission remain Phase 05-08 work.

### Task T005 - Define closeout validation matrix

**Started**: 2026-05-29 22:25 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 22:26 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Defined the evidence matrix for media gates, browser checks, quality commands, docs review, security checks, whitespace, and ASCII/LF validation.
* Identified the allowed non-release deferrals so conditional records remain blocked instead of becoming release claims.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - added validation matrix and accepted deferrals.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - validation planning only.

### Task T008 - Map media matrix rows to closeout status

**Started**: 2026-05-29 22:27 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 22:28 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Mapped rows M04-001 through M04-032 to final closeout status, blocker state, owner-session evidence, and future handoff.
* Preserved the Phase 04 distinction between approved battlefield runtime media and conditional, planned, prototype-only, rejected, unknown, or deferred media.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - added the media matrix closeout map.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - documentation mapping only.

### Task T009 - Create documentation update checklist

**Started**: 2026-05-29 22:28 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 22:29 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Created the documentation update checklist covering PRD, UX PRD, phase PRD, architecture, media, privacy, release, deployment, development, README, and package README targets.
* Linked each target to the evidence that should drive the wording.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - added documentation update checklist.

**BQC Fixes**:

### Task T004 - Run baseline media and quality probes

**Started**: 2026-05-29 22:24 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 22:25 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran the media gate suite, repository quality checks, full test suite, build, secret scan, and whitespace check before stable docs updates.
* No blocking failures were found.
* The visual promotion gate reported expected warnings for conditional visual records and non-release draft/quarantine records; these remained blockers, not release-ready claims.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded baseline command evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - validation evidence only.

***

## Documentation Audit

Audited targets:

* Root overview: `README.md`
* Package README files: `apps/web/README_web.md`, `public-demo/README_public-demo.md`, `scripts/README_scripts.md`, `assets/README_assets.md`, `apps/README_apps.md`, `packages/README_packages.md`
* Product requirements: `.spec_system/PRD/PRD.md`, `.spec_system/PRD/PRD_UX.md`, `.spec_system/PRD/phase_04/PRD_phase_04.md`
* Stable docs: `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `docs/media-assets.md`, `docs/privacy-and-security.md`, `docs/release.md`, `docs/deployment.md`, `docs/development.md`
* Spec memory: `.spec_system/CONSIDERATIONS.md`, `.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md`

Stale or incomplete closeout claims to update:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_04/PRD_phase_04.md` still marks Session 08 as `Not Started` and Phase 04 progress as 7/8 sessions.
* `.spec_system/PRD/PRD.md` still defines Phase 04 as planned/current work and leaves Session 08 as planned.
* `.spec_system/PRD/PRD_UX.md` has no Phase 04 UX closeout status vocabulary or final media validation evidence.
* `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` still says shared TypeScript catalog contracts are planned only and still lists media catalog work as future Phase 03 gap wording.
* `docs/privacy-and-security.md` still records the Phase 02 public demo cache version as `factionos-demo-v7`, while current media docs and demo service worker use `factionos-demo-v9`.
* `README.md` documents Phase 02 and Phase 03 closeout evidence but not Phase 04 media closeout evidence.
* `docs/development.md` lists only broad root scripts and omits the current media gate suite, e2e evidence commands, secret scan, and whitespace checks.
* `apps/web/README_web.md` and `public-demo/README_public-demo.md` describe Phase 04 media boundaries but need closeout validation wording after evidence is collected.
* `scripts/README_scripts.md` has accurate media script details but should include the Phase 04 closeout ordering and quality sweep after final evidence.

Targets that did not need direct closeout edits unless validation exposes drift:

* `assets/README_assets.md` already documents generated draft evidence, visual promotion inventory, and non-runtime draft boundaries.
* `apps/README_apps.md` and `packages/README_packages.md` remain package index files with no stale Phase 04 claims.

***

### Task T003 - Audit stable docs and README files for stale media claims

**Started**: 2026-05-29 22:23 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 22:24 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Audited root README, selected package README files, Phase 04 PRD files, product and UX PRDs, stable docs, and spec memory.
* Identified status drift around Phase 04 completion, Session 08 planned wording, public demo cache version, media release gate coverage, and the current shared catalog contract state.
* Kept edits out of stable docs until validation evidence is available.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded the documentation audit and pending update targets.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - documentation audit only.

## Task Log

### Task T001 - Verify prerequisite sessions, phase state, and closeout scope

**Started**: 2026-05-29 22:22 **Completed**: 2026-05-29 22:22 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran the project analysis script and confirmed the active session is `phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout`.
* Confirmed Phase 04 Sessions 01-07 are recorded as completed and Session 08 is the only incomplete Phase 04 session.
* Confirmed this is a cross-cutting monorepo session with no package path restriction.
* Reviewed the Phase 04 PRD closeout scope and the current media matrix handoff.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - created the session progress log and prerequisite evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - documentation and validation evidence only.

# 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-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/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.
