### Missing Deliverables

None after validation fixes. The initial deliverables check found three missing spec-listed test files; validation added focused `github-adapter`, `rss-adapter`, and `direct-source-readiness` tests and re-ran checks.

## 5. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

*N/A - this session introduced no DB-layer changes.*

* [ ] Matching schema artifact exists for each relevant DB-layer change
* [ ] Code and schema artifacts are aligned
* [ ] Migration/status/diff check passed locally
* [ ] Seed or rollback updates included when conventions require them

### Issues Found

N/A - no database, migration, SQL, persisted schema, or seed artifact was changed. `src/extensions/trend-finder/schema.ts` changes are browser payload schemas only.

***

## 6. Success Criteria

From spec.md:

### Functional Requirements

* [x] Direct-source compliance review is recorded before each matching direct network path is activated.
* [x] arXiv, GitHub, and RSS/news can collect through direct first-party paths when reviewed and ready; HN supports keyword queries through Algolia.
* [x] Direct source rows preserve existing source IDs, source roles, quality tiers, half-life behavior, and source health semantics.
* [x] Apify declarations remain available as reviewed fallbacks and do not run as duplicates when a matching direct source succeeds.
* [x] Connector readiness reports disabled, degraded, ready, timeout, rate limited, empty, blocked, and fallback states before network collection.
* [x] Spend accounting labels direct sources as zero-cost public API sources and keeps them visible in per-run spend summaries.
* [x] Optional GitHub token support is script-only and never appears in browser state, source summaries, traces, warnings, test snapshots, or logs.
* [x] Any adapter blocked by compliance review is explicitly deferred in docs and readiness output, not shipped as an active network path.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Unit tests cover direct utility timeout, retry, abort, safe URL, XML/JSON, sanitized warning, and backoff behavior.
* [x] Adapter tests cover arXiv, GitHub, RSS, and HN normal paths, empty responses, parse failures, rate limits, timeouts, retries, field exclusions, and zero-cost spend labels.
* [x] Collector tests cover direct-first ordering, direct-active Apify skip, direct-failed Apify fallback, readiness freeze before collection, and trace diagnostics.
* [x] Source setup and view-model tests cover direct readiness labels, disabled states, fallback labels, long text bounds, and re-entry behavior.
* [x] Focused script tests, relevant app tests, TypeScript checks, and ASCII validation pass.

### Quality Gates

* [x] All files ASCII-encoded
* [x] Unix LF line endings
* [x] Code follows project conventions
* [x] Focused tests pass
* [x] Script and app type checks pass

## 7. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

| Category       | Status | Notes                                                                                                                                                               |
| -------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Naming         | PASS   | Direct-source names and env keys follow existing Trend Finder and compatibility naming.                                                                             |
| File Structure | PASS   | Script adapters and tests are under existing `scripts/extensions/trend-finder/sources/` paths; browser schema/UI changes stay under `src/extensions/trend-finder/`. |
| Error Handling | PASS   | Direct-source failures map to explicit readiness/warning states with redacted messages.                                                                             |
| Comments       | PASS   | No commented-out code or unnecessary explanatory comments observed.                                                                                                 |
| Testing        | PASS   | Focused tests live beside the behavior they cover and assert public contract behavior.                                                                              |

### Convention Violations

None.

#### 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/extensions/trend-finder/sources/direct-source-utils.ts`

| ------------------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Trust boundaries   | PASS   | `direct-source-readiness.ts`, `github-adapter.ts`, `rss-adapter.ts` | Reviewed readiness is resolved before network calls; GitHub private repos are filtered; RSS private/local URLs are rejected. |
| Resource cleanup   | PASS   | `direct-source-utils.ts`                                            | Fetch timeout timers and parent abort listeners are cleaned up in `finally`; delayed retries observe abort signals.          |
| Mutation safety    | PASS   | `collector.ts`, `apify-adapter.ts`                                  | Direct fallback decisions suppress duplicate Apify collection when direct public API evidence succeeds.                      |
| Failure paths      | PASS   | `direct-source-utils.ts`, adapters                                  | Timeout, rate-limit, empty, offline, disabled, blocked, parse, and retry failures map to explicit warnings/readiness.        |
| Contract alignment | PASS   | `collector.ts`, `schema.ts`, `view-model.ts`                        | New direct readiness fields are additive and preserve existing source IDs and spend/source summary shapes.                   |

### Violations Found

None.

### Fixes Applied During Validation

* Added missing spec-listed test deliverables: `github-adapter.test.ts`, `rss-adapter.test.ts`, and `direct-source-readiness.test.ts`.
* Updated stale legacy HN and collector tests so top-stories fallback tests explicitly disable direct HN Algolia and collector network-failure assertions expect all four direct source rows.

## Validation Result

### PASS

All validation gates pass after applying the missing test deliverables and re-running focused checks, full tests, type checks, format check, private artifact check, no-Apify smoke, deliverable checks, and ASCII/LF validation.

### 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/phase28-session14-direct-first-party-source-adapters/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.
