* [x] Tools available
* [x] Directory structure ready
* [x] Cross-cutting package context confirmed

***

### Task T001 - Verify analyzer state and cross-cutting session context

**Started**: 2026-05-31 04:32 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 04:32 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran the bundled analyzer fallback because `.spec_system/scripts` is not present.
* Confirmed active session `phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout`.
* Confirmed Sessions 01-07 are complete and Session 08 is selected from `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/session_08_release_candidate_validation_and_documentation_closeout.md`.
* Resolved package context as cross-cutting from `spec.md` and analyzer output.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - created release closeout implementation log scaffold.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - documentation and release evidence task.

***

### Task T002 - Review prior Phase 08 evidence and boundaries

**Started**: 2026-05-31 04:33 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 04:34 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Reviewed Phase 08 PRD, requirement routing, risk matrix, security posture, considerations, release guide, development guide, production-hosted evidence, mobile/accessibility evidence, legacy decommission record, and unified erasure inventory.
* Reviewed prior implementation summaries, validation reports, and security reports where present for Sessions 01-07.
* Confirmed Session 08 consumes completed evidence but still owns final release gate outcomes, docs/security synchronization, and release readiness or blocker wording.
* Preserved no-copy boundary for raw prompts, credentials, host ids, account ids, paths, command bodies, room payloads, logs, backups, replay buffers, exports, and quarantined historical content.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded evidence review result.

**BQC Fixes**:

### Task T003 - Build release gate command plan

**Started**: 2026-05-31 04:34 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 04:35 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added a Phase 08 Session 08 release-candidate command plan to the release guide.
* The plan separates local-first gates, focused Phase 08 checks, Playwright app/public-demo checks, and optional live-hosted validation.
* The plan requires unavailable/no-claim recording when safe live targets, credentials, physical devices, manual assistive-technology review, or formal certification evidence are absent.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/release.md` - added Session 08 release-candidate command plan and no-overclaim constraints.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded command-plan completion.

**Notes**:

* Created the implementation notes scaffold required by the implement workflow.
* Added command-result table, blocker taxonomy, documentation sync checklist, version alignment checklist, validation handoff slots, environment verification, and task log sections.
* Set BQC status to N/A because this session currently changes documentation and release evidence rather than application code.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - scaffolded command outcomes and validation handoff structure.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Added gate matrix, readiness decision fields, requirement closeout map, blocker-ready residual-risk table, docs sync record, release notes inputs, rollback notes, and validation handoff.
* Set command outcomes to pending until the release gates are actually run in this session.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md` - created final S0808 release-candidate validation artifact.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded validation-record creation.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Captured erasure contract/inventory evidence, local/browser erasure evidence, Worker room-state handling, hosted identity no-claim, production-hosted no-network smoke, mobile/accessibility local evidence, media/decommission dispositions, and local-first/no-overclaim boundaries.
* Kept prior-session evidence as summarized conclusions and paths only.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md` - added prior Phase 08 evidence rollup and requirement closeout map.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded evidence-rollup completion.

**BQC Fixes**:

**Notes**:

* Updated the security posture with Phase 08 Session 08 risk mapping.
* Kept inherited hosted identity, trusted erasure, and production-hosted validation findings open or no-claim until matching active runtime/deployed evidence exists.
* Added residual mapping for formal certification, media readiness, and sensitive evidence leakage.
* Referenced Phase 08 evidence artifacts instead of copying raw command output or sensitive evidence.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md` - added S0808 security mapping and updated open finding remediations.

### Task T012 - Run media, visual, public-demo, draft, battlefield, and aggregate gates

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:00 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:03 IDT **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* `npm run media:check` passed with 23 media tooling checks.
* `npm run media:visual:check` passed with 33 expected warnings preserving metadata-pending and non-release blockers.
* `npm run media:demo:check` passed across public-demo media inventory, cache policy, icons, runtime files, and docs.
* `npm run media:drafts:check` passed for the draft generation manifest.
* `npm run battlefield:check` passed for six approved runtime assets and public-demo cache coverage.
* `npm run media:gates:check` passed and preserved 2 approved records, 12 blocked records, and 11 draft records.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md` - recorded media gate outcomes.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded media command outcomes and T012 completion.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - release gate execution and documentation task.

### Task T013 - Run production-hosted smoke

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:03 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:08 IDT **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* `npm run release:hosted-smoke -- --no-network --json` passed with four unavailable/no-claim results.
* `npm run release:hosted-smoke -- --json` failed against public HTTPS targets with sanitized issue codes.
* Public demo live smoke reported `SENSITIVE_OUTPUT`; targeted inspection showed the scanner matched a prompt-assignment pattern in the deployed public demo shell.
* Both Worker live targets reported `WORKER_DEPLOYMENT` and `WORKER_HEALTH_RATE_LIMIT`, indicating deployed health metadata does not satisfy the Session 05 contract.
* Optional production app shell remained unavailable with `TARGET_UNAVAILABLE`.
* Cloudflare deployment remediation is not available in this local environment because Cloudflare API token/account/zone values are absent.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md` - recorded no-network pass, live hosted smoke blockers, and release impacts.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded hosted smoke outcomes and T013 completion.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - release gate execution and documentation task.

### Task T014 - Run focused Phase 08 validation checks

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:08 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:11 IDT **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Ran focused Vitest coverage for protocol erasure, server local erasure, Worker erasure, hosted guardrails, production hosted smoke, mobile accessibility, and media contracts/gates.
* The focused command passed 29 files and 181 tests.
* Media shell gates were already run directly in T012 and production-hosted smoke was run directly in T013; the focused tests confirm source-level contracts for those areas.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md` - recorded focused Phase 08 test outcome.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded focused validation outcome and T014 completion.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - release gate execution and documentation task.

### Task T015 - Run app and public-demo desktop/mobile Playwright release projects

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:11 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:31 IDT **Duration**: 20 minutes

**Notes**:

* Initial isolated app Playwright attempts exposed environment-specific release-gate issues before pass: `.env.local` auth required explicit blank auth env for local no-auth e2e, custom e2e app ports needed matching WebSocket origins, and the orchestration e2e fixture expected a lineage graph node without seeding a lineage event.
* Updated local e2e wiring so Playwright-launched servers allow the selected app origin, the browser WebSocket uses the local Vite `/ws/` proxy when served from a dev port, and the orchestration fixture seeds a degraded lineage event through `/event`.
* `npm --workspace apps/web run typecheck` passed after the browser wiring update.
* `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/wsClientPrivacy.test.ts apps/web/tests/CockpitShell.test.tsx apps/server/tests/eventIngest.test.ts` passed 3 files and 20 tests.
* App Playwright final command passed with 14 passed, 1 skipped, and 1 mobile settings/replay/export/scan/local-erasure test recovered on retry.
* Public-demo Playwright final command passed with 14 passed and 2 skipped.
* These are local browser evidence gates only; they do not change the production-hosted no-claim state or formal certification no-claim state.

**Files Changed**:

* `playwright.config.ts` - added isolated e2e app origins for server CORS/WebSocket allowance and exposed the selected server port to the web server env.
* `apps/web/src/App.tsx` - passed the resolved store server port into the WebSocket client instead of a hardcoded value.
* `apps/web/src/store/useGameStore.ts` - added a bounded initial server-port resolver with default `2468`.
* `apps/web/src/store/useWsClient.ts` - routed local dev-port WebSockets through the same-origin Vite `/ws/` proxy while preserving direct localhost server URLs when page and server ports match.
* `tests/e2e/app.e2e.ts` - seeded a degraded lineage event through the existing `/event` ingest route before asserting orchestration graph rendering.
* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md` - recorded app and public-demo Playwright outcomes.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T015 command outcomes and fixes.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: kept server WebSocket origin defaults strict and added only Playwright-selected local origins for isolated e2e servers.
* Contract alignment: e2e orchestration graph assertion now seeds lineage through the supported `/event` ingest contract rather than relying on absent ambient state.
* Failure path completeness: local e2e runs explicitly disable bearer auth for no-auth browser evidence and retain production-hosted smoke blockers separately.

### Task T016 - Update PRD and UX PRD release-candidate status and no-claim wording

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:31 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:34 IDT **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated the master PRD Phase 08 vocabulary and status map to reference Session 08 release-candidate evidence and validation-pending state.
* Added a Phase 08 release-candidate evidence section that distinguishes passing local-first gates from blocked/no-claim production-hosted, certification, hosted identity, broad media, and full trusted-erasure claims.
* Updated the UX PRD status vocabulary and release UX gates so local app/public-demo Playwright evidence remains scoped local browser evidence and not formal certification or deployed hosted validation.
* Confirmed `docs/PRD.md` and `docs/PRD_UX.md` are symlinks to the edited PRD sources.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/PRD.md` - synchronized Phase 08 release-candidate status, evidence path, and no-claim boundaries.
* `.spec_system/PRD/PRD_UX.md` - synchronized UX release-gate evidence and certification/production-hosted no-overclaim wording.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T016 completion.

### Task T017 - Update security/compliance and considerations carry-forward posture

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:34 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:37 IDT **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated security posture so production-hosted validation remains open/no-claim after the S0808 live smoke blockers.
* Kept hosted identity and full trusted unified erasure findings open while recognizing scoped local/browser and Worker room-state erasure evidence.
* Updated GDPR deletion wording to distinguish manual/scoped deletion evidence from a broad trusted unified-erasure claim.
* Updated considerations to carry forward Phase 08 lessons on claim-scoped release-candidate evidence, explicit e2e local boundaries, and production-hosted no-overclaim.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md` - synchronized S0808 hosted smoke blockers, erasure scope, GDPR residual wording, and sensitive-output posture.
* `.spec_system/CONSIDERATIONS.md` - updated active concerns, lessons, and avoid-list guidance for Phase 08 closeout.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T017 completion.

### Task T018 - Update stable release, deployment, privacy/security, hosted, environment, legacy, and media docs

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:37 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:42 IDT **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated release docs with the exact focused Phase 08 command scope, local gate outcomes, recovered flaky Playwright note, and hosted smoke blocker/no-claim posture.
* Updated deployment and hosted-services docs with S0808 no-network pass and live hosted smoke blockers for public demo, Worker targets, and optional app shell.
* Updated privacy/security docs so scoped local/browser and Worker erasure evidence does not read as full trusted unified erasure or production-hosted validation.
* Updated environment docs to clarify Cloudflare remediation credentials were absent locally and live hosted remediation belongs in an authorized release environment.
* Updated legacy and media docs to preserve Session 07 decommission dispositions and record Session 08 media gate revalidation without broad media approval.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/release.md` - final command scope, gate outcomes, hosted blockers, release notes/no-claim guidance.
* `docs/deployment.md` - S0808 hosted smoke outcomes and deployed-target no-claim wording.
* `docs/privacy-and-security.md` - erasure scope and production-hosted evidence separation.
* `docs/hosted-services.md` - hosted smoke closeout blockers and no-claim status.
* `docs/environments.md` - credential/environment boundary for hosted remediation.
* `docs/legacy-consolidation.md` - Session 08 decommission-retention closeout.
* `docs/media-assets.md` - Session 08 media gate revalidation and conditional media blockers.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T018 completion.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - documentation synchronization task.

**Notes**:

* Updated root README from "active Session 08" wording to recorded local release-candidate evidence with residual no-claim boundaries.
* Added app-directory package guidance for local browser evidence scope, isolated e2e auth/origin boundaries, and supported orchestration fixture routes.
* Updated web, server, War Room, and protocol package README guidance for scoped erasure, hosted smoke blockers, local diagnostics, and no-overclaim protocol vocabulary.
* Updated public-demo README and validation docs with Session 08 local Playwright/media evidence and the live public-demo `SENSITIVE_OUTPUT` hosted-smoke blocker.

**Files Changed**:

* `README.md` - synchronized Session 08 evidence and residual no-claim status.

**Started**: 2026-05-31 05:50 IDT **Completed**: 2026-05-31 05:50 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran the final no-overclaim grep over changed docs, README files, spec artifacts, security posture, considerations, and public-demo validation docs.
