# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase08-session01-release-requirements-and-risk-baseline` **Package**: Cross-cutting **Completed**: 2026-05-31 **Duration**: 2.0 hours

***

## Overview

Phase 08 Session 01 created the source-backed release requirements and risk baseline for the release-hardening phase. The session defined claim gates, requirement routing, open-risk ownership, and candidate-only decommission inputs so Sessions 02 through 08 can proceed without overclaiming release readiness.

The work was documentation-only. No runtime behavior changed. The session kept the local-first boundary explicit and preserved no-claim wording for hosted identity, trusted erasure, production-hosted validation, certification, media readiness, and legacy decommission.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Documentation-first baseline**: Session 01 defined release gates and ownership before any implementation work so later sessions can stay scoped.
2. **Candidate-only decommission**: legacy evidence remains retained until Session 07 records final dispositions and reruns the affected gates.

***

## Test Results

| Metric   | Value               |
| -------- | ------------------- |
| Tests    | 8 validation checks |
| Passed   | 8                   |
| Coverage | N/A                 |

Validation coverage included docs/path review, consistency checks, ASCII/LF spot checks, and `git diff --check`. No application tests were required because the session changed documentation and spec artifacts only.

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Phase 08 release language needs explicit no-claim wording for hosted identity, production-hosted validation, and trusted erasure.
2. Tracking files must distinguish validated closeout from planned follow-on work to avoid confusing Session 01 with later implementation sessions.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Implement trusted unified erasure with source, tests, docs, and verification evidence.
2. Produce production-hosted validation, mobile/accessibility evidence, and final release-candidate closeout.

## 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/phase08-session01-release-requirements-and-risk-baseline/implementation_summary.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.
