## Setup (3 tasks)

Initial configuration and environment preparation.

* [x] T001 \[S2815] Verify Session 15 prerequisites, completed Phase 28 session artifacts, closeout-only scope, and current deleted/absent status of the retired planning file (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_28/session_15_documentation_validation_and_release.md`)
* [x] T002 \[S2815] Create closeout artifact scaffolds for coverage, implementation notes, security review, and validation results (`.spec_system/specs/phase28-session15-documentation-validation-and-release/implementation-notes.md`)
* [x] T003 \[S2815] Confirm validation command set, e2e scope, private-artifact scan, payload budget check, dependency audit, and known format-drift expectations (`package.json`)

***

## Foundation (6 tasks)

Core structures and base implementations.

* [x] T004 \[S2815] Build a heading-by-heading coverage matrix for Trends-Finderz source material, method/caveats, items 1.1-10.4, already-ahead areas, non-goals, deferred candidates, sequencing, and deletion status (`.spec_system/specs/phase28-session15-documentation-validation-and-release/coverage.md`)
* [x] T005 \[S2815] \[P] Audit scoring manual gaps for dedup, per-signal quality, calibration version, confidence dampener, visibility, aging, saturation, lifecycle contributions, research-only risk, action verdicts, and watchlist interpretation (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-scoring.md`)
* [x] T006 \[S2815] \[P] Audit pipeline manual gaps for collection health, retention pass, static Brief QA, payload limits, private-artifact boundaries, source-state transitions, and export privacy (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-pipeline.md`)
* [x] T007 \[S2815] \[P] Audit UI surfaces manual gaps for visibility bands, suppressed-noise summary, Action Queue, pin baselines, notes, tags, search palette, KPI strip, Markdown export, and Reference mode (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-ui-surfaces.md`)
* [x] T008 \[S2815] \[P] Audit source manual gaps for keyword packs, scan modes, rotation, coverage QA, direct adapters, fallback behavior, spend labels, and deferred source candidates (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-sources.md`)
* [x] T009 \[S2815] Verify Reference mode registry, metadata tests, internal Markdown links, required boundary phrases, and no planned-feature language before edits (`src/extensions/trend-finder/reference-docs.ts`)

***

## Implementation (11 tasks)

Main feature implementation.

* [x] T010 \[S2815] \[P] Update scoring manual for Phase 28 scoring integrity, bounded derived fields, unavailable states, actionability rules, and no-invented-metrics boundaries (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-scoring.md`)
* [x] T011 \[S2815] \[P] Update pipeline manual for dedup and coverage counters, retention pass, static Brief QA, payload budget, private-artifact checks, and export privacy (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-pipeline.md`)
* [x] T012 \[S2815] \[P] Update UI surfaces manual for visibility controls, suppressed-noise summary, Action Queue, browser-local pins, search palette, KPI strip, Markdown export, and Reference mode (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-ui-surfaces.md`)
* [x] T013 \[S2815] \[P] Update source manual for reviewed keyword packs, scan modes, rotation, coverage QA, direct adapters, Apify fallback behavior, zero-cost spend labels, and compliance-first deferred candidates (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-sources.md`)
* [x] T014 \[S2815] \[P] Update runtime/provenance manual for deterministic fallbacks, derived provenance labels, Reference mode private-boundary rules, validation-time leak scanning, and no raw source/provider output (`docs/extensions/trend-finder-runtime-and-provenance.md`)
* [x] T015 \[S2815] Update extension docs README with current Phase 28 manual coverage, certification commands, release notes, and durable deferred-candidate pointers (`docs/extensions/README_docs-extensions.md`)
* [x] T016 \[S2815] Update or confirm Reference mode registry and tests with stable metadata, non-empty Markdown imports, resolvable internal links, required boundary phrases, and no planned-feature drift (`src/extensions/trend-finder/__tests__/reference-docs.test.ts`)
* [x] T017 \[S2815] Confirm the retired planning file remains deleted or absent only after coverage matrix completion, without recreating stale planning content (`docs/ongoing-projects/trends-finderz.md`)
* [x] T018 \[S2815] Update cumulative security/compliance ledger with Phase 28 closeout, no-new-credential-flow review, no-new-bridge/write/storage/transfer review, GDPR result, and latest audit output (`.spec_system/SECURITY-COMPLIANCE.md`)
* [x] T019 \[S2815] Update considerations with Phase 28 lessons, active concerns, deferred source candidates, validation follow-ups, and release posture (`.spec_system/CONSIDERATIONS.md`)
* [x] T020 \[S2815] Update Phase 28 PRD, master PRD, and changelog with closeout coverage, validation status, security result, deleted-source status, and release summary (`.spec_system/PRD/phase_28/PRD_phase_28.md`)

***

## Testing (5 tasks)

Verification and quality assurance.

* [x] T021 \[S2815] \[P] Run Reference docs checks, docs link/phrase assertions, planned-feature wording checks, and ASCII validation for changed Markdown (`src/extensions/trend-finder/__tests__/reference-docs.test.ts`)
* [x] T022 \[S2815] \[P] Run app typecheck, script typecheck, full Vitest suite, lint or format checks, and record exact pass/fail output plus unrelated drift (`.spec_system/specs/phase28-session15-documentation-validation-and-release/implementation-notes.md`)
* [x] T023 \[S2815] \[P] Run static Brief export, payload budget check, private-artifact scan, and `bun audit` with sanitized generated-safe output (`scripts/trend-finder-export-brief.ts`)
* [x] T024 \[S2815] \[P] Run Playwright e2e validation or record environment blocker with evidence, including Engine Replay Reference mode and newly documented Trend Finder surfaces (`tests/e2e`)
* [x] T025 \[S2815] Complete session security report, validation report, task status updates, release-ready handoff notes, and ASCII validation for spec artifacts (`.spec_system/specs/phase28-session15-documentation-validation-and-release/validation.md`)

# 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-session15-documentation-validation-and-release/tasks.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.
