## 5. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

No DB-layer changes were introduced by this session.

### Issues Found

N/A -- no DB-layer changes

***

## 6. Success Criteria

From `spec.md`:

### Functional Requirements

* [x] `factionos-hero-active.js` calls `GET /notice-board/context?sessionId=<sessionId>` when a usable session id is available.
* [x] The GET request uses `FACTIONOS_SERVER_URL` and bearer auth only when `FACTIONOS_AUTH_TOKEN` is configured.
* [x] A valid `{ context }` response is included in bounded provider-safe additional-context output for supported providers.
* [x] The fixed Notice Board posting reminder is included in the same provider-safe output.
* [x] Empty context produces no noisy output beyond the reminder for supported providers, and no output for providers without a safe context contract.
* [x] Malformed responses, non-2xx responses, unreachable server, timeout, and missing session id are treated as no context.
* [x] Existing `hero_active` POST behavior, session aliasing, prompt truncation, and silent failure path continue to work.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Hook tests cover context present, no context, malformed response, unreachable server, auth header, timeout, provider-safe output, and privacy redaction.
* [x] Hook tests assert normal stdout/stderr silence for providers without a safe additional-context contract.
* [x] Hook tests assert existing POST payload behavior remains intact.
* [x] Focused hook tests run successfully.
* [x] ASCII and LF validation passes for new session files.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All files ASCII-encoded.
* [x] Unix LF line endings.
* [x] Code follows project conventions.

## 7. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

| Category       | Status | Notes                                                                         |
| -------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Naming         | PASS   | Session files and helper names are consistent with existing hook conventions. |
| File Structure | PASS   | Changes stayed within `apps/hooks` and the session spec directory.            |
| Error Handling | PASS   | Context lookup failures degrade to no-context outcomes without noisy output.  |
| Comments       | PASS   | Comments remain explanatory and minimal.                                      |
| Testing        | PASS   | Process-level tests cover the new hook behavior and privacy boundary.         |

### Convention Violations

None

## 8. Security & GDPR Compliance

### Status: PASS / N/A

**Full report**: See `security-compliance.md` in this session directory.

#### Summary

| Area     | Status | Findings |
| -------- | ------ | -------- |
| Security | PASS   | 0 issues |
| GDPR     | N/A    | 0 issues |

### Critical Violations

None

## 9. Behavioral Quality Spot-Check

### Status: PASS

**Checklist applied**: Yes **Files spot-checked**: `apps/hooks/src/_lib.js`, `apps/hooks/src/factionos-hero-active.js`, `apps/hooks/tests/heroActiveNoticeContext.test.js`

| Category           | Status | File                                      | Details                                                                                               |
| ------------------ | ------ | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Trust boundaries   | PASS   | `apps/hooks/src/_lib.js`                  | Context responses are schema-checked, bounded, and screened for unsafe payload markers before output. |
| Resource cleanup   | PASS   | `apps/hooks/src/factionos-hero-active.js` | Context lookup is bounded and does not leave persistent resources open.                               |
| Mutation safety    | PASS   | `apps/hooks/src/factionos-hero-active.js` | Existing POST guard behavior remains intact.                                                          |
| Failure paths      | PASS   | `apps/hooks/src/_lib.js`                  | Timeout, non-2xx, malformed JSON, network, and size failures degrade cleanly.                         |
| Contract alignment | PASS   | `apps/hooks/src/factionos-hero-active.js` | Only provider-safe additional-context output is emitted, and unsupported providers stay silent.       |

# 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/phase17-session06-hook-context-and-provider-skill-parity/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.
