### Failed Tests

None.

## 5. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

*N/A because this session introduced no database, migration, persisted table, index, seed, or ORM changes. The schema work is browser/runtime payload validation through Zod in `src/extensions/trend-finder/schema.ts`.*

* [x] Matching schema artifact exists for each relevant payload change (`TrendScoreAdjustmentSchema` and `TrendScoreAdjustmentListSchema`)
* [x] Code and schema artifacts are aligned through typecheck and schema tests
* [x] Migration/status/diff check is not applicable
* [x] Seed or rollback updates are not applicable

### Issues Found

N/A - no DB-layer changes.

***

## 6. Success Criteria

From `spec.md`:

### Functional Requirements

* [x] A fresh accelerating topic can receive a small bounded lifecycle boost, while a stale or dormant-like topic can receive a bounded penalty.
* [x] Lifecycle multiplier output stays within the approved starter band and is clamped even for malformed or missing lifecycle and aging inputs.
* [x] Every post-factor adjustment appears as a named row with `{label, delta, kind}` in the parsed payload.
* [x] Confidence dampener, lifecycle multiplier, and topic noise downrank explain the full gap between raw weighted score and final score.
* [x] The six-factor core weights and factor keys are unchanged.
* [x] Score breakdown and Engine Replay render adjustment rows with bounded labels, delta values, tones, and accessible group labels.
* [x] Trends-Finderz lifecycle labels do not appear in Trend Finder generated adjustment payload rows or fixtures; documentation mentions them only as excluded reference vocabulary.
* [x] Legacy payloads parse with an empty adjustment list and existing compatibility fields remain available.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Unit tests written and passing for lifecycle multiplier bounds, malformed inputs, adjustment ordering, and final-score reconciliation.
* [x] Scoring integration tests cover ranking impact, dampener/noise migration, unchanged weights, and calibration-version bump.
* [x] Schema tests cover legacy defaults, invalid row fallback, bounded labels, bounded deltas, and empty arrays.
* [x] View-model and component tests cover adjustment projection, compact UI, accessibility labels, and empty adjustment states.
* [x] Engine Replay tests cover named contribution rendering and sanitized browser-safe output.
* [x] Manual Trend card and Engine Replay smoke checks were completed and recorded in `implementation-notes.md`.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All touched and untracked files ASCII-encoded.
* [x] Unix LF line endings verified.
* [x] Code follows project conventions.
* [x] Typecheck, script typecheck, lint, full tests, build, and whitespace checks pass.

## 7. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

| Category       | Status | Notes                                                                                                              |
| -------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Naming         | PASS   | Uses Trend Finder product terms and descriptive helpers; no new global `findtrend` identifiers.                    |
| File Structure | PASS   | Runtime code, schemas, components, docs, and tests stay in established local paths.                                |
| Error Handling | PASS   | Malformed lifecycle/aging inputs fall back to neutral bounded defaults; schema invalid rows catch to empty arrays. |
| Comments       | PASS   | No broad speculative comments or commented-out code added.                                                         |
| Testing        | PASS   | Focused tests live beside the scoring, schema, view-model, component, and Engine Replay behavior they cover.       |

### Convention Violations

None.

## 8. Security & GDPR Compliance

### Status: PASS

**Full report**: See `security-compliance.md` in this session directory.

#### Summary

| Area     | Status | Findings |
| -------- | ------ | -------- |
| Security | PASS   | 0 issues |
| GDPR     | N/A    | 0 issues |

### Critical Violations

None.

## 9. Behavioral Quality Spot-Check

### Status: PASS

**Checklist applied**: Yes **Files spot-checked**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/scoring.ts`
* `src/extensions/trend-finder/schema.ts`
* `src/extensions/trend-finder/view-model.ts`
* `src/extensions/trend-finder/components/score-breakdown.tsx`
* `src/extensions/trend-finder/components/engine-score-panel.tsx`

| Category           | Status | File                                        | Details                                                                                                    |
| ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Trust boundaries   | PASS   | `src/extensions/trend-finder/schema.ts`     | Zod bounds adjustment labels, details, deltas, keys, kinds, multipliers, and row count.                    |
| Resource cleanup   | PASS   | `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/scoring.ts`         | New scoring helpers are pure and acquire no timers, subscriptions, files, network handles, or connections. |
| Mutation safety    | PASS   | `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/scoring.ts`         | Score recomputation flows through a single deterministic post-factor pipeline and tests cover idempotency. |
| Failure paths      | PASS   | `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/scoring.ts`         | Malformed lifecycle/aging inputs use neutral defaults; topic-quality fallback caps remain explicit.        |
| Contract alignment | PASS   | `src/extensions/trend-finder/view-model.ts` | Raw-to-final summaries, deterministic ordering, bounded display text, and compatibility fields are tested. |

### Violations Found

None.

### Fixes Applied During Validation

* Removed the unused `applyTopicQualityScoreAdjustment` wrapper from `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/scoring.ts`.
* Ran Prettier on `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/signal-aging.ts`; this was formatting-only and required for repo lint to pass.

## Validation Result

### PASS

All required session tasks, deliverables, tests, quality gates, security checks, GDPR scope review, and behavioral quality checks pass. The session is ready for `updateprd`.

### Required Actions

None.

## Next Steps

Run `updateprd` to mark the 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/phase28-session06-lifecycle-multiplier-and-named-contributions/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.
