## 4. Test Results

### Status: PASS

| Metric      | Value        |
| ----------- | ------------ |

### Test Runs

* `npx vitest run apps/cli/tests/codexInstaller.test.js apps/hooks/tests/codexHookMap.test.js`
* `npm run format:check`
* `npm run lint`
* `git diff --check`

### Failed Tests

None.

***

## 5. Plugin Manifest Validation

### Status: N/A

No plugin manifest was created because the session recorded an explicit deferral of Codex plugin packaging.

### Issues Found

N/A - the absence of a plugin manifest is the expected outcome for this session branch.

***

## 6. Success Criteria

### Functional Requirements

* [x] The session records a clear defer decision for Codex plugin packaging.
* [x] The decision uses Phase 12 criteria and the current direct hook evidence.
* [x] Direct user-level Codex hook install, trust review guidance, diagnostics, and uninstall remain the supported baseline.
* [x] Stable docs explain the rationale for deferral and the supported direct hook path.
* [x] No docs claim trust bypass, project-local trusted `.codex/` setup, hosted telemetry, Codex settings mutation, or plugin mandatory support.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Focused CLI and hooks tests passed for touched installer and hook map behavior.
* [x] Documentation-only deferral is backed by a decision record.
* [x] No skipped plugin validation is represented as passed.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All files ASCII-encoded.
* [x] Unix LF line endings.
* [x] Code follows project conventions.
* [x] `npm run format:check` passed.
* [x] `npm run lint` passed.
* [x] `git diff --check` passed.

***

## 7. Security and Privacy

### Status: PASS

* The session artifacts keep negative-policy wording bounded and do not expose raw prompts, terminal output, tokens, or broad local paths.
* Plugin trust bypass, hosted telemetry, hosted identity, remote execution, and trusted erasure remain no-claim items.

***

## 8. Behavioral Quality

### Status: PASS

* Direct user-level Codex hooks remain the supported baseline for this release.
* The session does not introduce a second plugin runtime path.
* Deferral is explicit and documented, which keeps Session 02 release closeout unambiguous.

## 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/phase12-session01-codex-plugin-packaging/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.
