# GAF Phase 3 Validation Runner

## Goal
Execute a repeatable validation checklist and produce clear pass/fail evidence.

## Use This Skill When
- User asks "is this ready to deploy?"
- Task implementation is complete and needs final checks.
- Any major change touched storage logic or failure handling.

## Validation Checklist
- artifact consistency check passed
- manifest dependency declarations match implementation
- schema/allowed-values checks passed for write paths
- success path verified end-to-end
- failure path verified (expected fallback/incident behavior)
- status transitions verified (`running -> success|failed`)
- logging coverage verified for operational debugging

## Evidence Format
Return:
- `Validation Result`: PASS or FAIL
- `Blocking Issues`: list (if any)
- `Evidence`: concise bullets by checklist item
- `Recommended Next Step`: fix list; if PASS and user confirms promotion, run `node scripts/deploy-task.js <task_id>` from `gaf-core-knowledge/` (see `gaf-predeploy-readiness-advisor` and `gaf-deploy-script-enforcement`)

## Guardrails
- Do not mark PASS when blockers exist.
- Clearly separate hard blockers vs informational gaps.
