## 5. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

N/A - this session introduced no database tables, columns, constraints, indexes, migrations, seeds, persisted DB schema, or generated DB types.

### Issues Found

N/A - no DB-layer changes

***

## 6. Success Criteria

From spec.md:

### Functional Requirements

* [x] Lifecycle stage derives deterministically from existing topic, history, saturation, role-share, and velocity fields.
* [x] Low-history or insufficient-input topics show `unknown` with a clear reason instead of guessed maturity.
* [x] Long-running saturated topics and brand-new spikes no longer present the same maturity label.
* [x] Trend cards show lifecycle chips with derivation notes and accessible labels.
* [x] Signal Workbench lifecycle filter and sort preserve deterministic tie-break ordering.
* [x] Signal Radar topic coloring is stage-based, with fallback nodes clearly distinguished from data nodes.
* [x] Legacy payloads without lifecycle fields still parse and render `unknown`.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Unit tests cover classifier thresholds, boundary precedence, low-history fallback, missing saturation, missing role share, and missing velocity dynamics.
* [x] Scoring tests cover lifecycle integration for representative builder, saturated, and unknown topics.
* [x] Schema tests cover additive defaults, malformed branches, enum bounds, and legacy payload compatibility.
* [x] Workbench tests cover lifecycle row projection, filter facets, sorting, search text, and deterministic tie-breakers.
* [x] Component and radar tests cover chip rendering, legend copy, stage-based colors, and fallback-node behavior.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All files ASCII-encoded.
* [x] Unix LF line endings.
* [x] Code follows project conventions.
* [x] Relevant TypeScript and Vitest checks pass.

## 7. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

| Category       | Status | Notes                                                                                        |
| -------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Naming         | PASS   | Lifecycle terms match the spec: `unknown`, `whisper`, `builder`, `creator`, and `saturated`. |
| File Structure | PASS   | Runtime helper, tests, schema, view-model, and components live in established locations.     |
| Error Handling | PASS   | Malformed lifecycle payloads fall back through bounded Zod defaults.                         |
| Comments       | PASS   | No new commented-out code or noisy explanatory comments found.                               |
| Testing        | PASS   | Focused tests are close to the behavior they cover.                                          |

### Convention Violations

None in session deliverables.

| ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Trust boundaries   | PASS   | `src/extensions/trend-finder/schema.ts`                 | Lifecycle branch is bounded, strict, and defaults malformed input to `unknown`. |
| Resource cleanup   | PASS   | N/A                                                     | No timers, subscriptions, handles, connections, or external resources added.    |
| Mutation safety    | PASS   | `src/extensions/trend-finder/signal-workbench-model.ts` | Filters and sorting are pure row projections with deterministic tie-breakers.   |
| Failure paths      | PASS   | `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/lifecycle.ts`                   | Missing or insufficient inputs produce explicit `unknown` notes.                |
| Contract alignment | PASS   | `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/scoring.ts`                     | Runtime lifecycle output matches the browser schema and view-model tests.       |

### Violations Found

None

### Fixes Applied During Validation

* Formatted active session markdown files after scoped docs were flagged by repo-wide Prettier check.

## Validation Result

### PASS

The session satisfies all required validation checks. Tasks are complete, deliverables exist, tests pass, lifecycle schema and UI behavior are covered, no DB-layer changes require migration checks, and no security or GDPR findings were identified.

### Required Actions

None

## Next Steps

Run updateprd to mark session complete.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai-os-and-trend-finder.gitbook.io/ai-os-and-trend-finder-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase27-session06-lifecycle-stage-taxonomy/validation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
