## 5. Test Results

### Status: PASS

| Metric             | Value                            |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| Focused Test Files | 4 passed                         |
| Focused Tests      | 42 passed                        |
| Full Test Files    | 268 passed, 1 skipped            |
| Full Tests         | 3042 passed, 1 skipped           |
| Failed             | 0                                |
| Coverage           | N/A - not produced by `npm test` |

**Failed tests**: None

## 6. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

*N/A because the session introduced no DB-layer changes.*

**Evidence**: `spec.md` out-of-scope section states no database, persistence schema, or migration work; targeted `rg` inspection found no DB-layer implementation or migration changes in session runtime files.

**Issues found**: None

## 7. Success Criteria

From spec.md: **Functional requirements**:

* [x] Write, edit, delete, move, and rename operations mutate real files in temp-directory tests - `apps/server/tests/fileMutationManager.test.ts` lines 27-134 and focused Vitest PASS.
* [x] Read and preview/preflight operations return safe metadata without mutating files - same test file lines 34-55 and focused Vitest PASS.
* [x] Rollback restores prior content or prior path for write, edit, delete, move, and rename when a backup exists - same test file lines 136-196 and focused Vitest PASS.
* [x] Conflict, stale hash, backup failure, path escape, symlink escape, absolute path, traversal, URL-like input, NUL input, generated directory, and ignored directory cases do not mutate files - same test file lines 198-406 and focused Vitest PASS.
* [x] Execution runs record compact before/after metadata without file contents, patch bodies, broad absolute paths, tokens, secrets, provider payloads, or raw diagnostics - same test file lines 408-447, `apps/server/tests/commandCenterManager.test.ts`, and focused Vitest PASS.

**Testing requirements**:

* [x] Protocol tests cover file mutation request/result parsing, path validation, rollback metadata, and blocked raw-field rejection - `packages/protocol/tests/fileMutation.test.ts` and focused Vitest PASS.
* [x] Server manager tests cover successful mutations, rollback, stale hashes, active file-intent conflicts, backup failure, path rejection, symlink escape, idempotency, compensation on partial failure, and redaction - `apps/server/tests/fileMutationManager.test.ts` and focused Vitest PASS.
* [x] Focused protocol and server typechecks pass - package typecheck commands PASS.
* [x] Focused Vitest tests for file mutation pass before broader gates - focused Vitest PASS before root gates.

**Quality gates**:

* [x] All files ASCII-encoded - exact `file`, non-ASCII grep, and CRLF checks PASS.
* [x] Unix LF line endings - CRLF grep PASS.
* [x] Code follows project conventions - Biome, typecheck, Vitest, and targeted code inspection PASS.
* [x] No product claim promotes file executors to `executor_ready` before Session 07 - docs and executor registry inspections PASS.
* [x] Focused protocol, server, root quality, and `git diff --check` commands pass - all PASS under Node 26.2.0/npm 11.16.0.

## 8. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

**Categories spot-checked**: naming, file structure, error handling, comments, testing, database conventions when relevant, toolchain baseline.

**Convention violations**: None. Final validation commands used `PATH="$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v26.2.0/bin:$PATH"` after detecting the default shell was Node v24.14.0; `node --version` and `npm --version` then matched `.nvmrc` and `.spec_system/CONVENTIONS.md`.

## 9. Security & GDPR Compliance

### Status: PASS

**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

## 10. Behavioral Quality Spot-Check

### Status: PASS

*Checklist applied because session produced protocol/server application code.*

**Checklist applied**: Yes **Files spot-checked**:

* `apps/server/src/managers/fileMutationManager.ts`
* `packages/protocol/src/orchestrationCommandCenter.ts`
* `apps/server/src/managers/taskExecutionCoordinator.ts`
* `apps/server/src/routes/terminalContainers.ts`
* `apps/web/src/store/useGameStore.ts`

**Categories spot-checked**: trust boundaries, resource cleanup, mutation safety, failure paths, and contract alignment.

**Violations found**: None

**Fixes applied during validation**: None

## 11. UI Product-Surface Spot-Check

### Status: N/A

*N/A because no user-facing UI route, component, layout, or copy changed.*

**Surfaces inspected**: Code inspection of `apps/web/src/store/useGameStore.ts` diff and product-surface diagnostic grep across session-touched files. **Diagnostics found in primary UI**: None introduced by this session. **Allowed debug/admin surfaces**: Existing diagnostics docs/routes only; no new normal product UI diagnostics. **Fixes applied during validation**: None

## Validation Result

### PASS

All validation gates passed. The session has a resolved code review, 22/22 tasks complete, all deliverables present, ASCII/LF checks clean, focused and full tests passing, no DB/schema drift, security PASS, GDPR N/A, behavioral spot-check PASS, and no user-facing UI product-surface change.

### Unresolved Failures And Blockers

None

# 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/phase20-session06-file-mutation-core/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.
