Phase validation requires running the implementation in its intended environment, capturing outputs and errors, and checking behavior against defined acceptance criteria to ensure safe progression. This process enforces explicit approval before any phase transition occurs.

Phase-gate execution is a workflow safety mechanism that runs completed implementations and validates their behavior against specifications before transitioning. You need it to prevent unverified progress and reduce project drift across CLI, app, or service environments.

Explicit approval for phase transitions is enforced by executing the completed phase, capturing run reports, and validating results against acceptance criteria. The workflow halts and requires user confirmation before allowing progression to the next stage.

When validation fails during phase execution, the system generates an auditable run report and provides clear guidance for necessary fixes. The phase transition is blocked until the implementation passes validation and receives explicit approval.

Phase execution control applies directly to CLI, app, and service environments. It executes the completed phase implementation within the intended target environment, capturing outputs and errors to ensure safe, auditable transitions.

Unverified phase progress causes project drift by advancing work without executing or validating the implementation against specifications. You prevent this by running the phase, capturing outputs, enforcing validation, and requiring explicit approval before moving forward.
