### Validate Workflow - 2026-06-19

**Result**: PASS

**Validation fixes applied**:

* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/action-consistency.ts` now uses the canonical `TREND_TOPIC_RISK_FLAGS` contract so `originator-only` risk flags are accepted by action consistency QA.
* `scripts/lib/ai-runtime/__tests__/scoring-calibration.test.ts` now expects the neutral `corroboration_gate` adjustment row added by this session.

**Final validation commands**:

* `bun run test` - 317 files passed, 3,734 tests passed.
* `bun run typecheck` - Passed.
* `bun run typecheck:scripts` - Passed.
* `bun run lint` - Passed.
* `bunx prettier --check ...session source/test/doc files...` - Passed.
* `bun run scripts/extensions/trend-finder/measure-payload-size.ts src/data/live-data.example.json --all --json` - Trend Finder browser data payload 14,138 bytes; boundary 1,048,576 bytes.
* ASCII validation over changed and untracked files - Passed.

**Reports written**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session04-corroboration-gate/security-compliance.md`
* `.spec_system/specs/phase29-session04-corroboration-gate/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/phase29-session04-corroboration-gate/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.
