To audit Nyquist validation coverage for a completed phase, run the validation workflow to identify gaps, fill or reconstruct missing artifacts, and generate an updated VALIDATION.md with accompanying test files.

Yes, you can reconstruct a missing VALIDATION.md from available artifacts and logs. The process retroactively rebuilds the validation record to ensure a robust quality history for the completed phase.

For unexecuted phases, the best way to generate tests is to use a guided workflow that provides actionable next steps, ensuring validation artifacts are properly planned before execution begins.

Yes, phase validation preserves existing workflow gates. It enforces the generation of updated validation artifacts and test files while maintaining your established workflow gate constraints.

A phase audit may not find validation gaps if the VALIDATION.md is complete and matches all Nyquist requirements. The audit specifically targets phases with missing or partial validation artifacts to identify coverage issues.
