### Deletion Precondition

`docs/ongoing-projects/alpha-radar.md` can be deleted after T010-T019 because:

* The complete improvement map is preserved in `.spec_system/PRD/phase_27/PRD_phase_27.md`.
* Shipped behavior is documented in committed Trend Finder manuals rendered by Reference mode.
* Deferred source candidates and explicit non-goals are retained in current docs/PRD artifacts.
* Do-not-regress areas are retained in the PRD and reinforced in security/compliance and considerations.
* The old file contains planning language and Unicode text that should not remain the current source of truth after closeout.

## Documentation Audit Findings

### Scoring Manual

* Missing explicit Phase 27 derived metric inventory: saturation, hidden-gem score, consensus ratio, role shares, builder signal, and risk flags.
* Hidden Gems sort language is stale: implementation now ranks by continuous hidden-gem score before score/novelty tie-breakers.
* Momentum section omits velocity acceleration, significance, burst support, and unavailable states.
* Source-local lift caps are present, but cross-source outlier preset and outlier ideas need clearer relationship to scoring.
* No-invented-metrics boundary should explicitly say `tbts`, peak-day estimates, and RRF are not shipped scoring inputs.

### History Manual

* Missing private daily topic series and bounded 14-day sparkline behavior.
* Missing Hugging Face model download observation deltas and explicit no-baseline/unavailable states.
* Prediction writer section is stale: dated target windows, target lifecycle, and target-date grading are now part of the record.
* Retro section omits calibration metrics: hit rate, Brier score, resolved counts, and stale pending handling in the summary.
* Missing Story Log projection details and verdict/due-state filtering boundaries.

### UI Surfaces Manual

* Trends/Hidden Gems/Watchlist section does not mention continuous gem-score sorting, watching filters, lifecycle chips, aliases, or risk chips.
* Signal Radar section is stale: radar now uses data-driven axes instead of purely decorative source-name positions.
* Brief section omits movement groups, today's pick, demand centers, theme rollups, calibration, Story Log, and angle-pack copy.
* Workbench section omits lifecycle, saturation, gem score, builder signal, risk flag, sparkline, theme grouping, cross-source outlier preset, outlier idea, competitor, and watching controls.
* Static Brief section omits Phase 27 projections for movement groups, today's pick, demand centers, Story Log, angle packs, and bounded sparklines.

### Cross-Manual Set

* Creator Lens manual omits bounded competitor names, validation warnings, bridge/cache parsing, collect-time public channel-title matching, and angle-pack influence.
* Pipeline manual omits Phase 27 stages after scoring: velocity dynamics, lifecycle, convergence, demand clusters, theme rollups, outlier ideas, and browser-safe Story Log projection.
* Runtime/provenance manual omits analyst fields added in Phase 27: target lifecycle/date, demand brief, theme labels, outlier ideas, contrarian angle, plain explainer, and suggested title.
* Sources manual needs a durable deferred-source-candidates section and Hugging Face download delta behavior.
* Concepts manual needs core objects for lifecycle, convergence, demand cluster, theme, watching state, angle pack, and outlier idea.
* Extension README current-behavior list and certification commands need Phase 27 closeout updates.

### Reference Mode Registry

* All eight registered Trend Finder manual source paths exist.
* Import set is complete for the current manuals; no new manual file is required.
* Registry descriptions are stale for scoring, creator lens, history, UI surfaces, runtime, and sources; update descriptions after manual edits.

**Commands**:

* `bun run trend-finder:export-brief -- --dry-run --json` - FAIL, expected local data precondition failure: `missing_trend_finder_data`.
* `bun run trend-finder:export-brief -- --input src/data/live-data.example.json --dry-run --json` - PASS, status `dry-run`, topics 2, evidence 2, sources 2, copied assets 0, unsafe asset fallbacks 0, warnings 0.

### Task T023 - Run e2e validation

**Started**: 2026-06-13 07:50 **Completed**: 2026-06-13 08:05 **Duration**: 15 minutes

**Notes**:

* Ran the full Playwright suite.
* Initial full-suite run failed 2 Trend Finder e2e assertions after 92 passed tests.
* Root cause was stale e2e expectations against the current Phase 27 fixture/UI: Engine Replay source-local counters now render `Ready 5`, `Unavailable 3`, `Excluded 1`, and the Brief view renders the Phase 27 sections (`Today's pick`, `Demand Centers`, `Prediction and retro`) instead of the old `Headline finding` label.
* Updated the e2e assertions only; no runtime application code was changed.
* Focused Trend Finder e2e specs passed after the assertion update.
* Final full e2e suite passed.

**Commands**:

* `bun run test:e2e` - FAIL, 92 passed / 2 failed stale Trend Finder assertions.
* `bunx playwright test tests/e2e/trend-finder-engine-replay.spec.ts tests/e2e/trend-finder.spec.ts` - FAIL, 12 passed / 1 failed stale unavailable-counter assertion.
* `bunx playwright test tests/e2e/trend-finder-engine-replay.spec.ts tests/e2e/trend-finder.spec.ts` - PASS, 13 passed.
* `bun run test:e2e` - PASS, 94 passed in 5.7 minutes.

**Files Changed**:

* `tests/e2e/trend-finder-engine-replay.spec.ts` - aligned source-local counter expectations with the current Engine Replay model.
* `tests/e2e/trend-finder.spec.ts` - aligned Brief navigation assertions with the current Phase 27 Brief sections.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase27-session12-documentation-validation-and-release/tasks.md` - marked T023 complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase27-session12-documentation-validation-and-release/implementation-notes.md` - logged T023.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Test contract alignment: corrected stale e2e expectations to match the current Phase 27 fixtures and rendered UI.

### Task T024 - Complete validation report and handoff

**Started**: 2026-06-13 08:05 **Completed**: 2026-06-13 08:10 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Created the session validation report with task completion, command results, coverage proof, security result, and residual non-blocking drift.
* Marked the session task checklist complete and updated the next step to the validate workflow.
* Recorded the final release readiness result as PASS with known pre-existing repo-wide format drift.

**Commands**:

* `bunx prettier --write <session-owned files>` - PASS; new validation report formatted.
* `bunx prettier --check <session-owned files>` - PASS.
* `perl -ne '<ASCII scan>' <changed docs/spec/test files>` - PASS.
* `git diff --check` - PASS.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase27-session12-documentation-validation-and-release/validation.md` - created validation report.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase27-session12-documentation-validation-and-release/tasks.md` - marked T024 and completion checklist complete.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase27-session12-documentation-validation-and-release/implementation-notes.md` - logged T024.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - validation/documentation handoff task.

# 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-session12-documentation-validation-and-release/implementation-notes.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.
