Implementation (9 tasks) Main feature implementation. ### Release gates * [x] T011 \[S0808] Run and record install, format, lint, workspace typecheck, full test, and workspace build gates with exact command scope, pass/fail status, and blocker impact (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md`) * [x] T012 \[S0808] Run and record media, visual, public-demo media, draft manifest, battlefield, and aggregate media release gates with conditional blocker wording preserved (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md`) * [x] T013 \[S0808] Run and record production-hosted smoke in no-network mode and live target mode only when safe configuration exists, with unavailable/no-claim states for missing credentials or hosts (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md`) * [x] T014 \[S0808] Run and record focused Phase 08 validation checks for erasure, hosted guardrails, Worker room erasure, production smoke, mobile accessibility, and media gates, or cite prior evidence with exact blocker rationale (`.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md`) * [x] T015 \[S0808] Run or explicitly block app and public-demo desktop/mobile Playwright release projects, keeping local browser evidence distinct from production-hosted validation and formal certification (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md`) ### docs * [x] T016 \[S0808] Update PRD and UX PRD source and exposed docs for Phase 08 complete/blocked status, release-candidate evidence, certification no-overclaim wording, and production-hosted no-claim wording (`.spec_system/PRD/PRD.md`) * [x] T017 \[S0808] Update security/compliance and considerations for erasure, hosted identity, production-hosted validation, certification, decommission, media readiness, residual risks, and carry-forward lessons (`.spec_system/CONSIDERATIONS.md`) * [x] T018 \[S0808] Update release, deployment, privacy/security, hosted-services, environments, legacy-consolidation, and media docs with final evidence, release notes inputs, rollback notes, blockers, and unsupported claims (`docs/privacy-and-security.md`) * [x] T019 \[S0808] Update root README, affected package README files, and public-demo validation docs so package-facing guidance matches final release-candidate evidence and local-first boundaries (`apps/README_apps.md`) *** ## Testing (4 tasks) Verification and quality assurance. ### Cross-cutting * [x] T020 \[S0808] Run secret scan, whitespace validation, ASCII scan, LF scan, and `git diff --check` over changed docs, PRD artifacts, README files, scripts, tests, and spec artifacts (`.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/implementation-notes.md`) * [x] T021 \[S0808] Run final no-overclaim grep review and version alignment check for hosted identity, trusted erasure, production-hosted validation, certification, analytics, push, remote access, real executors, media readiness, root/workspace package versions, and protocol runtime version (`docs/release.md`) * [x] T022 \[S0808] Finalize command outcomes, docs sync decisions, residual blockers, unavailable/no-claim states, release-readiness status, and validation handoff in the validation record and implementation notes (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_08/release_candidate_validation_record.md`) * [x] T023 \[S0808] Update task checklist progress and prepare the session for the validate workflow with all blockers, skipped commands, and residual risks explicitly recorded (`.spec_system/specs/phase08-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/tasks.md`) *** ## Completion Checklist Before marking session complete: * [x] All tasks marked `[x]` * [x] All tests passing or blockers recorded with exact commands * [x] All files ASCII-encoded * [x] implementation-notes.md updated * [x] Ready for the validate workflow step *** ## Next Steps Run the `validate` workflow step for Session 08. --- # 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.

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-session08-release-candidate-validation-and-documentation-closeout/tasks.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
