### Failed Tests

None

## 5. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

N/A -- this session did not change persisted schema, migrations, or DB-layer artifacts.

## 6. Success Criteria

### Functional Requirements

* [x] `SuggestionManager` can create, list, accept, dismiss, and clear active idle suggestions with a per-session cap of 1.
* [x] Dismissed suggestion IDs and dismissed issue IDs are capped at 100 entries with deterministic FIFO eviction and survive restart.
* [x] Codebase issue add dedupes by `type` + `filePath` + `line`; type and severity queries return deterministic ordering; clear-by-type only removes matching issue types.
* [x] Analysis, project scan, and codebase scan freshness checks use the Session 01 protocol windows exactly: 30 minutes, 24 hours, 24 hours.
* [x] `getSummary` returns counts and severity buckets matching current state.
* [x] `getCurrentState` builds a protocol-valid `SuggestionSnapshot` and `emitUpdate` emits `type: "suggestion_update"` through `Broadcaster`.
* [x] `createFactionOsServer` wires `SuggestionManager` lifecycle injection and shutdown flush without adding Session 03 routes or WebSocket hydration.
* [x] Server README documents the local-only persistence boundary and manual deletion path.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Focused server tests written and passing.
* [x] Server package typecheck passed.
* [x] Repo-root Vitest passed.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All touched files are ASCII-encoded.
* [x] Unix LF line endings are preserved.
* [x] No obvious convention violations in the touched scope.

## 7. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

| Category       | Status | Notes                                                                                  |
| -------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Naming         | PASS   | Session artifacts and server symbols use consistent phase and feature naming.          |
| File Structure | PASS   | Deliverables follow the established `apps/server` and `.spec_system/specs/...` layout. |
| Error Handling | PASS   | Persistence failures are handled locally and do not expose raw paths or secrets.       |
| Comments       | PASS   | Comments are limited to explanatory context where needed.                              |
| Testing        | PASS   | Server tests cover state transitions, persistence, and shutdown flush.                 |

### Convention Violations

None

## 8. Security & GDPR Compliance

### Status: PASS

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

#### Summary

| Area     | Status | Findings |
| -------- | ------ | -------- |
| Security | PASS   | 0 issues |
| GDPR     | PASS   | 0 issues |

## 9. Behavioral Quality Spot-Check

### Status: PASS

Checklist applied: application code Files spot-checked: `apps/server/src/managers/suggestionManager.ts`, `apps/server/src/server.ts`

### Notes

* Trust boundary enforcement is protocol-backed before store mutation.
* Persistence and shutdown cleanup are explicit and covered by tests.
* Snapshot emission is centralized in one manager path.

### Violations Found

None

### Fixes Applied During Validation

None

## Validation Result

### PASS

Session 02 validation passed. The session deliverables are present, the touched files are ASCII-only with LF endings, focused and root-level tests passed, and the session behavior stays within the Phase 18 Session 02 scope.

## 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/phase18-session02-server-suggestion-manager-and-persistence/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.
