# Security Compliance Closeout

**Session ID**: `phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout` **Package**: cross-cutting **Started**: 2026-05-29 22:22 **Last Updated**: 2026-05-29 22:40 **Status**: PASS - Validate workflow pending

***

## Summary

Phase 04 media security and privacy closeout passed during implementation. The formal spec `validate` workflow remains the next step.

No new hosted storage, analytics, public media hosting, War Room media federation, full-app file-backed audio, provider runtime call, or personal data processing path was added.

## Media Privacy

| Surface                            | Current posture                                                     | Required closeout evidence                                                           | Status                      |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------- |
| Approved battlefield runtime media | Local static WebP assets only; mirrored between app and public demo | Media gates, battlefield parity, docs references, fallback and browser evidence      | PASS                        |
| Generated battlefield references   | Repository reference PNGs; not direct runtime files                 | Conditional blocker visibility and metadata policy warnings                          | PASS with expected warnings |
| App synthetic audio                | Code-generated Web Audio only; no file-backed full app clips        | Opt-in settings, visible equivalents, cleanup tests, no media file promotion         | PASS                        |
| Public demo speech and music       | Static demo-local MP3 files; conditional, not release-ready         | Gesture-compatible playback, visible equivalents, lazy music, cache policy, blockers | PASS with blockers retained |
| Browser validation output          | Local Playwright evidence only                                      | No raw prompts, provider payloads, broad paths, secrets, or long historical excerpts | PASS                        |

## Provider Boundaries

| Provider area               | Boundary                                                                                                                                            |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| fal.ai and ElevenLabs       | Reserved for local draft generation only when credentials are present and a provider run is explicitly selected.                                    |
| Runtime app and public demo | No provider credentials, raw provider payloads, or provider-backed network calls are required for Phase 04 runtime validation.                      |
| Draft manifests             | Records stay non-runtime and must keep redacted briefs, rights notes, cost notes, and release blockers without secret values or raw request bodies. |
| Future providers            | Require later reviewed transfer, consent, cost, retention, prompt redaction, and output-promotion rules before runtime use.                         |

Provider-transfer result: PASS. Phase 04 validation did not require provider credentials and did not run provider-backed generation.

## Quarantine Review

`EXAMPLES/` remains quarantined reference-only intake. Phase 04 closeout must not copy, transform, import, cache, ship, or use historical media as direct generation input.

| Quarantine class                                                    | Closeout posture                                                                                                                |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Historical speech and song-like MP3s                                | Prototype-only evidence; future product audio requires owned or rights-cleared replacements.                                    |
| Historical HUD, achievement, icon, model, texture, and build chunks | Prototype-only, needs-replacement, rejected, or deferred evidence; not runtime media.                                           |
| Historical screenshots and old logo media                           | Rejected for current brand/runtime use.                                                                                         |
| Unknown-provenance media                                            | Non-release until source, rights, attribution, metadata, browser support, fallback, accessibility, and privacy evidence closes. |

Quarantine result: PASS. Runtime media directories and approved shared media directories do not reference `EXAMPLES/` content. Existing source comments, tests, catalog guards, and docs may name `EXAMPLES/` only to enforce or explain the quarantine boundary.

## GDPR And Data Rights Posture

| Topic                        | Phase 04 closeout position                                                                                                                          |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| New personal data collection | None expected from media closeout. Validation uses local commands and local browser smoke checks.                                                   |
| New hosted storage           | None. Public demo deployment and War Room Worker remain separate surfaces documented elsewhere.                                                     |
| New external processors      | None for validation. Provider draft generation remains optional local future/draft workflow, not runtime transfer.                                  |
| Deletion and erasure         | No unified erasure shipped in Phase 04; Phase 08 remains owner for trusted erasure across local and future hosted state.                            |
| Data minimization            | Closeout artifacts summarize counts and pass/fail state instead of raw logs, prompts, provider payloads, broad local paths, or historical excerpts. |

GDPR/data-rights result: PASS with Phase 08 erasure carryforward. Manual local deletion remains the current deletion path for browser storage, local files, logs, backups, exports, and archives.

## Release Risks

Open release risks to keep visible:

* Conditional media records are not release-ready until blockers close.
* Public demo speech and music remain current demo-local media with unresolved source, rights, attribution, metadata, duration/loudness, and budget review.
* Full app file-backed audio, SFX, music, HUD art, achievement icons, optional video, and expanded battlefield variants remain planned or deferred.
* Hosted media transfer, analytics events, public replay/media hosting, collaboration identity, and War Room federation require later consent, authorization, retention, erasure, and validation design.

Release-risk result: PASS with documented residual risks.

***

## Future Hosted Transfer Review

Future hosted or external media work must define:

* Which media or metadata leaves the local machine.
* User consent and configuration gates.
* Processor, region, retention, deletion, and audit posture.
* Prompt, provider payload, local path, and credential redaction.
* Authorization and access controls for shared media or replay surfaces.
* Local-only fallback behavior when the hosted service is unavailable.

Future hosted-transfer result: deferred to later phase threat models.

## 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/security-compliance.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.
