gsd-validate-phase

To audit validation gaps for a completed workflow phase, run the validation workflow to check existing artifacts and generate missing VALIDATION.md files and tests. It retroactively fills gaps to ensure phase integrity and logs outcomes.

If SUMMARY.md exists but VALIDATION.md is missing, the tool reconstructs validation documentation from existing artifacts. It produces an updated VALIDATION.md and associated test files to restore phase validation coverage.

Yes, you can apply the phase validation workflow to a specified phase number to audit its specific artifacts. If no phase number is specified, it defaults to auditing the most recently completed phase.

You need to reconstruct VALIDATION.md when a phase is completed but validation gaps exist in the artifacts. This ensures workflow gates are preserved and proper phase integrity is maintained retroactively.

If the phase has not been executed, the tool does not generate files but instead provides guidance and a plan. This helps you establish the proper validation artifacts needed before completing the phase.

Yes, workflow gates are explicitly preserved during the execution of the validation gap audit. The tool generates missing test files and updates VALIDATION.md while ensuring existing workflow constraints remain intact.
