## 6. Success Criteria

From `spec.md`:

### Functional Requirements

* [x] Full release gate stack passes or exact blockers are recorded with command, scope, failing condition, and release impact.
* [x] Final Phase 08 validation record maps every S0808-owned requirement and risk to passed evidence, no-claim evidence, blocked status, or future scope.
* [x] PRD, UX PRD, security posture, considerations, release docs, package READMEs, and public-demo docs match shipped behavior and validated evidence.
* [x] Release copy makes no unsupported hosted identity, hosted storage, analytics capture, public replay hosting, push delivery, remote access, production-hosted, certification, broad media readiness, real executor, or trusted unified erasure claim.
* [x] Release notes inputs, rollback notes, version alignment, unsupported claims, residual risks, and next workflow command are explicit.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] `npm ci --no-audit --no-fund` passed.
* [x] `npm run format:check`, `npm run lint`, `npm run typecheck --workspaces --if-present`, `npm test`, and `npm run build --workspaces --if-present` passed.
* [x] Media, battlefield, hosted-smoke, secret-scan, whitespace, ASCII, and LF gates passed or recorded as unavailable/no-claim where safe live targets were absent.
* [x] Focused Phase 08 validation checks were recorded in the release-candidate evidence.
* [x] Manual no-overclaim docs review was completed.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All files ASCII-encoded
* [x] Unix LF line endings
* [x] Code and docs follow project conventions

### Required Actions

None.

## Next Steps

Run `updateprd` to mark the session complete.

# 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/phase08-session08-release-candidate-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.
