## Technical Decisions

1. **Archive the phase PRD after completion**: keep the live PRD focused on active work while preserving the full Phase 17 record in the archive.
2. **Bump the root package version only**: the session is cross-package, so the repo-level version remains the single source of truth for the closeout bump.

***

## Test Results

| Metric   | Value                                                   |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Tests    | 4 focused test groups plus broad root gates             |
| Passed   | 4 focused groups plus format, lint, typecheck, and test |
| Coverage | Not measured                                            |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Validation closeout is easiest when the phase docs, stable docs, and root version are updated together.
2. A dedicated handoff artifact keeps the archive boundary explicit for future phases.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Start the next phase only after the phase-transition workflow is intentionally selected.
2. Keep the stable docs as the user-facing source of truth and the archived phase PRD as traceability evidence.

# 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-session10-validation-documentation-and-handoff/implementation_summary.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.
