Phase validation gap audits identify missing checks, incomplete validation notes, and untested behavior in completed phases. The audit reviews existing phase artifacts and traces them strictly to ensure workflow gate preservation while documenting missing evidence.

Artifact reconstruction for phase validation rebuilds validation context from available phase summaries when a dedicated validation document does not exist. It restores missing documentation by tracing available artifacts strictly to preserve workflow gates.

Generate test files for previously completed work by auditing the phase for untested behavior and reconstructing validation artifacts. The process produces or updates test files alongside an updated VALIDATION.md record to verify the phase end to end.

You can fill phase validation gaps without breaking workflow gates by applying strict artifact tracing during reconstruction. This approach preserves workflow-gate integrity while updating validation documentation and generating tests for the completed phase.

The best way to update VALIDATION.md for incomplete phase evidence is to audit the phase, reconstruct missing validation context from summaries, and generate test files. This outputs an updated validation record with end-to-end verification coverage.

You need to reconstruct validation artifacts from summaries when a dedicated validation document does not exist for a completed phase but workflow gate evidence is required. This rebuilds validation context and fills documentation gaps without altering completed work.
