The session extended the deterministic built-site checker to cover draft exclusion, RSS, sitemap, robots, canonical and social metadata, approved destinations, and the no-tracking static privacy boundary. It also recorded the session validation evidence, updated the phase/state records, and bumped the `public-website` patch version. *** ## Deliverables ### Files Created | File | Purpose | Lines | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ----- | | `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session03-automated-checks-and-build-gates/validation.md` | Session validation report | \~30 | | `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session03-automated-checks-and-build-gates/IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` | Session closeout summary | \~60 | ### Files Modified | File | Changes | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `scripts/check-public-website-links.mjs` | Added draft, feed, sitemap, robots, metadata, approved-link, and static privacy boundary validation. | | `public-website/package.json` | Bumped `@factionos/public-website` to `0.0.18`. | | `package-lock.json` | Synced the `public-website` workspace version metadata to `0.0.18`. | | `public-website/README_public-website.md` | Documented root/package launch commands and the static-output gate. | | `docs/development.md` | Added public website launch-check guidance. | | `docs/release.md` | Added public website release-gate guidance and no-claim wording. | | `.spec_system/state.json` | Marked the session complete in history and cleared the active session. | | `.spec_system/PRD/phase_16/PRD_phase_16.md` | Updated Phase 16 progress and session tracker. | | `.spec_system/PRD/PRD.md` | Noted that Phase 16 now includes the automated checks session. | | `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session03-automated-checks-and-build-gates/spec.md` | Marked the session complete. | | `.spec_system/PRD/phase_16/session_03_automated_checks_and_build_gates.md` | Marked the phase-session record complete. | *** ## Technical Decisions 1. **Deterministic local validation**: Kept the launch gate as a local Node checker over built output so validation stays reproducible and no-network. 2. **Workspace-aware command coverage**: Documented root delegation and package commands instead of duplicating new root scripts where the workspace already covers the website. 3. **Static privacy boundary enforcement**: Treated analytics, trackers, beacon calls, browser storage writes, hosted forms, and runtime network APIs as built-output failures. *** ## Test Results | Metric | Value | | -------- | ---------------- | | Tests | 8 command checks | | Passed | 8 | | Coverage | N/A | *** ## Lessons Learned 1. The root workspace commands can remain simple if the package-local launch gate is explicit and well documented. 2. Built-output validation is the right layer for draft exclusion, feed, and privacy checks because it catches the actual deployable artifact. *** ## Future Considerations Items for future sessions: 1. Phase 16 Session 04 should focus on the Cloudflare Pages deployment path and any safe hosted validation evidence. 2. Keep the deterministic checker aligned with any new public routes or approved destinations added later. *** ## Session Statistics * **Tasks**: 20 completed * **Files Created**: 2 * **Files Modified**: 10+ * **Tests Added**: 0 * **Blockers**: 0 resolved --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

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/phase16-session03-automated-checks-and-build-gates/implementation_summary.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.
