**Failed tests**: None

## 6. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

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

**Evidence**: `.spec_system/CONVENTIONS.md` states `Database | not configured`; diff search for migration, schema, SQL, database, and DB artifacts returned no matches.

**Issues found**: None

## 7. Success Criteria

From spec.md:

**Functional requirements**:

* PASS - A linked `tool_use` event renders a bounded strike. Evidence: `combatPlaybackEffects.test.ts`, `CombatPlaybackLayer.test.tsx`, and `Battlefield.test.tsx` focused run passed.
* PASS - A linked failed `tool_result` renders a counterattack near the linked hero. Evidence: focused component and battlefield tests passed.
* PASS - Unlinked missions produce no strike, HP drain, counterattack, or kill visuals. Evidence: `combatPlaybackEffects.test.ts` unlinked mission test passed.
* PASS - Multiple linked missions against one camp render as a joint assault without unbounded visual growth. Evidence: pure derivation cap test and component cap test passed.
* PASS - Camps show kill burn-down only from evidence-backed successful `task_verification`; failed or unmatched verification leaves the camp alive. Evidence: pure verification tests and battlefield applyEvent flow passed.

**Testing requirements**:

* PASS - Unit tests written and passing for pure playback derivation. Evidence: `apps/web/tests/combatPlaybackEffects.test.ts`, 9 tests passed in focused run.
* PASS - Component tests written and passing for caps, timer cleanup, reduced motion, and privacy. Evidence: `apps/web/tests/CombatPlaybackLayer.test.tsx`, 8 tests passed in focused run.
* PASS - Battlefield integration tests cover the store event path. Evidence: `apps/web/tests/Battlefield.test.tsx`, 32 tests passed in focused run including mission/tool/result/verification flow.

**Quality gates**:

* PASS - No new storage keys, protocol events, server routes, rewards, or persisted progress. Evidence: no package/protocol/server diffs; risky API search produced no app-code matches; code inspection found no store writes from the layer.
* PASS - No raw prompts, raw output, command bodies, absolute paths, provider payloads, or secrets render in layer labels or DOM attributes. Evidence: privacy regression test with hostile tool id/path/previews passed; sensitive search matches are limited to tests.
* PASS - Long event streams stay bounded by explicit visual caps and combo merging. Evidence: constants and cap tests passed.
* PASS - All files ASCII-encoded and LF-only. Evidence: file and grep checks passed.
* PASS - Code follows project conventions. Evidence: format, lint, typecheck, and conventions spot-check passed.
* PASS - UI surfaces contain product-facing copy only. Evidence: component render test and UI surface inspection passed.

## 8. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

*Checked because `.spec_system/CONVENTIONS.md` exists.*

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

**Convention violations**: None

## 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

*Applied because this session produced application code.*

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

* `apps/web/src/lib/combatPlaybackEffects.ts`
* `apps/web/src/components/battlefield/CombatPlaybackLayer.tsx`
* `apps/web/src/components/battlefield/Battlefield.tsx`
* `apps/web/src/components/battlefield/CampLayer.tsx`
* `apps/web/src/index.css`

**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: PASS

*Applied because this session changed a user-facing battlefield UI layer.*

**Surfaces inspected**: `CombatPlaybackLayer` rendered by `apps/web/tests/CombatPlaybackLayer.test.tsx`; `Battlefield` integration via `apps/web/tests/Battlefield.test.tsx`; code inspection of `CombatPlaybackLayer.tsx`, `Battlefield.tsx`, and `index.css`.

**Diagnostics found in primary UI**: None

**Allowed debug/admin surfaces**: None

**Fixes applied during validation**: None

## Validation Result

### PASS

All validation checks passed. No unresolved failures remain.

### Unresolved Failures And Blockers

None

## Next Steps

Next command: `updateprd`

# 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/specs/phase24-session04-combat-playback-effects-layer/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.
