| App desktop/mobile         | `npm run test:e2e -- --project=app-desktop --project=app-mobile tests/e2e/app.e2e.ts` and retained rerun with `--output=test-results/e2e-app` | Failed media fallback, optional audio visible equivalents, reduced motion, browser guard assertions     | PASS; 9 passed, 1 desktop-only test skipped on mobile   |
| Public demo desktop/mobile | `npm run test:e2e -- --project=public-demo-desktop --project=public-demo-mobile tests/e2e/public-demo.e2e.ts`                                 | Media loading, offline reload after one online visit, service-worker behavior, browser guard assertions | PASS; 14 passed, 2 desktop-only tests skipped on mobile |

### Browser Evidence Detail

| Surface                    | Result | Evidence locations                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| -------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| App desktop/mobile         | PASS   | Retained screenshots and attachments under `test-results/e2e-app/`; includes cockpit, battlefield board, fallback battlefield, reduced-motion battlefield, orchestration panel, heatmap, and standings evidence. |
| Public demo desktop/mobile | PASS   | Retained screenshots under `test-results/e2e/`; includes splash, cockpit, battlefield board, fallback battlefield, reduced-motion battlefield, desktop overlays, and desktop offline shell evidence.             |

Notes:

* App command was rerun with a dedicated output folder after the first app and public-demo runs passed, so retained app screenshots are not overwritten by later Playwright invocations.
* Public demo desktop owns the offline-shell screenshot because the offline reload test is desktop-scoped; mobile retains splash, cockpit, battlefield, fallback, reduced-motion, audio fallback, and music-control pass coverage.
* Playwright emitted repeated `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` runner warnings from the test harness. They did not fail the browser checks and did not indicate app or demo runtime errors.

## Security And Privacy Evidence

PASS. Session and global security compliance records were updated. No new hosted storage, analytics, public media hosting, War Room media federation, runtime provider call, full-app file-backed audio, or personal data processing path was added.

***

## Residual Risk

* Conditional media records remain blocked from release until source, rights, attribution, metadata, accessibility, fallback, privacy, and budget evidence closes.
* Future hosted transfer, collaboration, analytics, public sharing, mobile certification, trusted erasure, and decommission work require later phases.
* Phase 04 closeout validates local app and public-demo behavior, not a production-hosted app deployment.

Final validation notes:

* First final `npm run media:gates:check` failed because `docs/privacy-and-security.md` no longer contained the required `Phase 04 Session 07 Media Gate` token. The required reference was restored and the gate passed on rerun.
* Stale docs search initially found older `factionos-demo-v7` references and Phase 03-era `media catalog work` wording in stable docs outside the original update set. Those references were updated and the stale search passed on rerun.

***

## Final Result

Implementation validation passed. The formal `validate` workflow step is complete and the session 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-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout/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.
