## Task Log

### 2026-07-08 - Session Start

**Environment verified**:

* [x] Prerequisites confirmed: `bash /home/aiwithapex/.codex/plugins/cache/apexdev/apex-spec/2.2.19-codex/skills/apex-spec/scripts/check-prereqs.sh --json --env --package apps/web` returned `overall: pass`.
* [x] Tools available: `bash /home/aiwithapex/.codex/plugins/cache/apexdev/apex-spec/2.2.19-codex/skills/apex-spec/scripts/check-prereqs.sh --json --tools node,npm,git,rg,file,perl` returned `overall: pass`.
* [x] Directory structure ready: analyzer resolved `phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation` and found `spec.md` / `tasks.md`.
* [x] Node runtime aligned: shell default was Node `v24.14.0`, but `.nvmrc` and local nvm install provide Node `v26.2.0`; validation commands in this session use `/home/aiwithapex/.nvm/versions/node/v26.2.0/bin` on `PATH`.

***

### Task T001 - Verify analyzer state and package context

**Started**: 2026-07-08 20:50 **Completed**: 2026-07-08 20:51 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed analyzer current session is `phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation`, current phase is 24, and monorepo package context resolves to `apps/web`.
* Confirmed `.spec_system/state.json` lists Phase 24 Sessions 06, 07, and 08 as completed in `apps/web`; older phase session stubs still say `Not Started`, so analyzer/state and `PRD_phase_24.md` completed-session entries are the workflow source of truth.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/implementation-notes.md` - added environment and T001 evidence.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/tasks.md` - marked T001 complete.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `bash /home/aiwithapex/.codex/plugins/cache/apexdev/apex-spec/2.2.19-codex/skills/apex-spec/scripts/analyze-project.sh --json`
  * Result: PASS - returned `current_session: phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation`, `monorepo: true`, and candidate Session 09 package `apps/web`.
  * Evidence: analyzer listed Phase 24 Sessions 06-08 in `completed_sessions` and Session 09 as the only unfinished candidate.
* Command/check: `jq '{current_phase,current_session,completed_sessions,monorepo,packages}' .spec_system/state.json`
  * Result: PASS - state file matches analyzer current phase/session and completed dependency sessions.
  * Evidence: output included completed `phase24-session06-world-cues-and-bark-reuse`, `phase24-session07-honesty-and-persistence-boundaries`, and `phase24-session08-generated-asset-implementation-handoff`.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - workflow state verification only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI surface changed.

***

### Task T002 - Inspect Session 06-08 artifacts

**Started**: 2026-07-08 20:51 **Completed**: 2026-07-08 20:52 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Reviewed validation, security, implementation-summary, and targeted implementation-note evidence for Sessions 06-08.
* Confirmed all three dependency sessions report PASS validation/security, no unresolved blockers, and handoffs for world cue behavior, replay/mock/storage honesty, and generated asset typed-reference posture.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/implementation-notes.md` - added T002 evidence.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/tasks.md` - marked T002 complete.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `rg --files .spec_system/specs/phase24-session0{6,7,8}-*`
  * Result: PASS - found each dependency session's `validation.md`, `security-compliance.md`, `implementation-notes.md`, and `IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md`.
  * Evidence: Sessions 06, 07, and 08 each have validation, security, code-review, tasks, spec, implementation notes, and implementation summary artifacts.
* Command/check: targeted `sed` inspection of Sessions 06-08 `validation.md`, `security-compliance.md`, and `IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md`
  * Result: PASS - Session 06 focused tests 74/74, Session 07 focused tests 90/90, and Session 08 focused tests 101/101 all passed; security/GDPR reports have no findings.
  * Evidence: reports preserve no new media/protocol/server/storage/reward/trusted-erasure boundaries and Session 08 records no direct runtime loading from `assets/generated/game-design/`.
* Command/check: `rg -n "Future|Next|Blockers|Decision|storage|replay|mock|generated|runtime|asset|Session 09|no .*protocol|no .*storage|reduced|world cue|Fun|handoff" [prior implementation-notes]`
  * Result: PASS - prior implementation notes contain relevant Session 09 handoffs and zero-blocker progress tables.
  * Evidence: handoffs call out world cue inclusion, aggregate-only pending-link persistence, single `factionos-game-v1` storage key, typed generated-asset map, fallback labels, and reduced-motion static posture.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - artifact inspection only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI surface changed.

***

### Task T003 - Inspect focused validation anchors and stale docs

**Started**: 2026-07-08 20:52 **Completed**: 2026-07-08 20:52 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed focused test anchors cover combat playback, live Legion, scrying/alert focus, world cues, replay/mock/storage honesty, generated asset posture, Battlefield integration, and Quest Board states.
* Identified stale docs to reconcile after validation evidence: game-design implemented/pending ledgers still describe Phase 24 as active or Phase 3 as pending around Sessions 03-04.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/implementation-notes.md` - added T003 evidence.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/tasks.md` - marked T003 complete.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `rg -n "describe\\(|it\\(|test\\(|reduced|motion|empty|error|loading|asset|fallback|generated|debug|diagnostic|runtime" apps/web/tests/CombatPlaybackLayer.test.tsx apps/web/tests/Battlefield.test.tsx apps/web/tests/QuestBoard.test.tsx apps/web/tests/LiveLegionLayer.test.tsx apps/web/tests/ScryingAndAlertFocusLayer.test.tsx`
  * Result: PASS - component/integration anchors exist for product-facing combat playback, reduced-motion static twins, generated asset posture, source-path absence, loading/empty/offline states, and no debug/diagnostic copy.
  * Evidence: `CombatPlaybackLayer.test.tsx` covers product-facing layer, reduced motion, asset posture, spark/reward boundary, caps, timers; `Battlefield.test.tsx` covers fallback images, reduced motion, live tier, asset posture, world cues, and combat flow; `QuestBoard.test.tsx` covers loading, empty, offline, disconnected, and action states.
* Command/check: `rg -n "describe\\(|it\\(|test\\(" [focused pure/session test files]`
  * Result: PASS - pure anchors exist for combat classification, 45-minute stream fatigue proxy, SFX budgets, linked strike derivation, live presentation, scrying, world cues, replay/mock storage, generated asset records, and media catalog posture.
  * Evidence: focused files include `combatPlayback.test.ts`, `combatPlaybackEffects.test.ts`, `liveLegion.test.ts`, `worldCues.test.ts`, `gameProjection.test.ts`, `gameProjectionStore.test.ts`, `generatedPhase3Assets.test.ts`, and `mediaCatalog.test.ts`.
* Command/check: `sed -n '1,260p' docs/game-design/15-phases-yet-to-be-implemented.md`; `rg -n "Phase 3|Phase 24|live tier|combat playback|generated|reduced-motion" [stable docs and PRDs]`
  * Result: PASS - stale reconciliation surface identified.
  * Evidence: pending ledger still lists Phase 3 / Phase 24 as pending and says Sessions 04-09 remain unvalidated; implemented ledger still reports Phase 24 active around Session 03.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - test/doc inspection only.
* UI craft check: N/A - no UI surface changed.

***

### Task T004 - Run focused Phase 24 web tests

**Started**: 2026-07-08 20:53 **Completed**: 2026-07-08 20:53 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran the exact focused Phase 24 test list under Node `v26.2.0`.
* Existing React `act(...)` warnings printed from `Battlefield.test.tsx`, matching prior session validation notes; all files and tests passed with exit code 0.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/implementation-notes.md` - recorded focused test evidence.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/tasks.md` - marked T004 complete.

  * Result: PASS - 17 test files passed, 238 tests passed, exit code 0.
  * Evidence: coverage included loading/empty/offline Quest Board states, fallback/error media states, reduced-motion Battlefield/live/combat states, replay/mock storage honesty, 45-minute combat stream proxy, generated asset posture, and no debug/runtime copy assertions.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - component/integration assertions include product-facing combat labels and absence of debug/diagnostic/runtime/generated source-path text in Battlefield and combat layers.
* UI craft check: PASS - focused tests cover reduced-motion static twins, visible state equivalents, bounded transient caps, cleanup timers, and fallback/empty/error states.

### Task T009 - Broader tests conditional gate

**Started**: 2026-07-08 20:56 **Completed**: 2026-07-08 20:56 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Broader `npm test` was not required because T008 made no fixes and touched no shared store, Quest Board, or battlefield runtime behavior.
* Existing focused coverage already ran the requested shared surfaces for Session 09: `gameProjectionStore`, `QuestBoard`, `Battlefield`, and `BattlefieldInteraction`.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/implementation-notes.md` - recorded conditional broader-test decision.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation/tasks.md` - marked T009 complete.

## Final Implementation Evidence Summary

### Command Evidence

* Focused Phase 24 tests: PASS - 17 files / 238 tests under Node 26.2.0.
* Web typecheck: PASS - `npm --workspace @factionos/web run typecheck`.
* Root format check: PASS - `npm run format:check`, 794 files checked and no fixes.
* Generated asset focused tests: PASS - `generatedPhase3Assets.test.ts` and `mediaCatalog.test.ts`, 2 files / 16 tests.
* Generated source-path runtime scan: PASS - no direct `src=`, `new Image`, `backgroundImage`, `runtimePath`, or `assets/generated/game-design` loads in the Phase 24 runtime battlefield layers/libs.
* Analyzer: PASS from the installed apex-spec script path, resolving current session `phase24-session09-validation-and-documentation` and Sessions 01-08 complete.
* Git visibility: PASS - stable docs, PRDs, and Session 09 artifacts visible; `.spec_system/state.json` remains a pre-existing modified workflow-state file.

### Documentation Changes

* `phase-exit-audit.md` records section 13A, Fun Law, boundary, and generated asset evidence.
* Web, battlefield, media, privacy, and architecture docs now describe Phase 24 live tier/combat playback evidence, aggregate-only projection storage, typed generated-asset reference posture, replay/reconnect/mock guards, and no-overclaim boundaries.
* Game-design implemented/pending ledgers move game-design Phase 3 out of the pending backlog only after Session 09 phase-exit evidence exists; code review, validation, and `updateprd` closeout are now resolved.
* Game-design change log, master PRD, and Phase 24 PRD now report Phase 24 complete rather than stale in-progress, not-started, review-pending, or validation-pending state.

### Validation Repair Decision

* No application code or test repair was needed. Focused tests, typecheck, format, generated asset tests, source-path scans, and documentation evidence checks passed after existing implementation.
* Broader `npm test` was not run because no shared store, Quest Board, or battlefield runtime behavior was changed during Session 09.

### Residual Boundaries

* Workflow `creview`, `validate`, and `updateprd` are resolved.
* No production-hosted validation, public-demo synthetic proof, formal mobile/WCAG certification, hosted storage/identity, analytics ingestion, remote execution, reward economy, XP, loot, banners, or trusted unified erasure is claimed.
* Generated Phase 3 sheets remain implementation references and media catalog records, not browser-served app runtime media.
* Projection storage remains the single browser-local `localStorage["factionos-game-v1"]` aggregate, with replay/reconnect/mock progress guards and browser-local cleanup only.
