### Task T008 - Record no-new-media outcome and reusable validation guidance

**Started**: 2026-07-01 01:59 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 02:09 IDT **Duration**: 10 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated the Phase 39 asset plan from planned status to final closeout status.

### Task T007 - Align gameplay-depth and game-feel docs

**Started**: 2026-07-01 01:51 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 01:59 IDT **Duration**: 8 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated gameplay-depth docs to describe the registry-backed four-level authored main run, Firewall Gauntlet, Insight Beetle, authored level specs, final defense ownership, and save-schema version 1 rules.
* Updated game-feel docs so Kernel Sentinel presentation and final-defense projection are tied to authored level/finale metadata instead of old depth-threshold wording.

### Task T003 - Inventory stale or missing Phase 39 doc claims

**Started**: 2026-07-01 01:18 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 01:25 IDT **Duration**: 7 minutes

**Notes**:

* Found stale AI Rogue README claims that the current run is three floors and that the tight 4,000-turn caveat is still the primary closeout caveat.
* Found stale extension overview claims that AI Rogue has only two enemy types and no audio.
* Found stale level-expansion architecture framing that describes the registry as future work and the shipped run as three floors.
* Found gameplay-depth language that layers current systems on top of the old three-floor generated run instead of the registry-backed four authored levels.
* Found game-feel depth/finale wording that still implies depth 3 and later own Kernel Sentinel presentation, rather than authored finale metadata at depth 4.
* Found asset-plan text that already records the low-risk Session 07 `insight-beetle` outcome but still has planned-status framing and needs a final no-new-media closeout.
* Found `docs/testing.md` has AI Rogue input-mode coverage but no reusable Phase 39 closeout command cluster.
* Found `docs/CHANGELOG.md` has Session 04-06 entries and package metadata is already `0.5.96`, but Session 07 is missing from the top changelog; Session 08 closeout entry will need to be added after evidence is known.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T003 drift inventory.

### Task T002 - Audit current AI Rogue runtime and browser-test owners

**Started**: 2026-07-01 01:12 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 01:18 IDT **Duration**: 6 minutes

**Notes**:

* Confirmed `levels.ts` owns four authored main-run levels: `boot-sector`, `index-maze`, `kernel-arena`, and `firewall-gauntlet`.
* Confirmed depth 4 is `firewall-gauntlet`, includes `insight-beetle`, reuses `sector_3`, uses `theme_firewall_ambience`, and marks the final authored level with `kernel-sentinel`.
* Confirmed out-of-range or non-integer authored level depths return null or throw `AiRogueLevelSpecLookupError`.
* Confirmed save schema version remains `AI_ROGUE_SAVE_SCHEMA_VERSION = 1`; durable snapshots persist serialized runtime state, depth, max depth, entity arrays, IDs, small metadata, and bounded safe text, not whole level specs.
* Confirmed boss contracts are centralized in `boss-contracts.ts` for `kernel-sentinel` finale ownership, presentation frames, and boss audio cues.
* Confirmed audio runtime lazy-loads committed Ogg assets, defers Web Audio until `unlock()`, provides a silent no-op engine when unsupported, and supports music, theme ambience, SFX, and adaptive stingers.
* Confirmed asset runtime validates derived gameplay frames and atlas frames before Pixi texture creation.
* Confirmed desktop and mobile browser specs cover canvas rendering, product-facing copy, compact controls, audio fetch proof, save/load, no bridge requests on non-play AI Rogue routes, and no horizontal overflow.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T002 audit evidence.

### Task T013 - Run AI Rogue desktop/mobile browser proof and public-demo mobile smoke

**Started**: 2026-07-01 02:24 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 02:35 IDT **Duration**: 11 minutes

**Notes**:

* Initial Playwright attempts failed because `http://127.0.0.1:5189` was already occupied.
* Inspected `playwright.config.ts` and found the config expects `PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE_EXISTING_SERVER=true`.
* Reran the AI Rogue Chromium proof and pages-demo mobile smoke with the exact expected reuse flag.
* No source changes were required by this gate.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T013 browser evidence, port-conflict resolution, and ledger result.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/tasks.md` - marked T013 complete after evidence was recorded.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `bun run test:e2e -- tests/e2e/ai-rogue-runtime.spec.ts tests/e2e/ai-rogue-mobile.spec.ts --project=chromium`
  * Result: FAIL, then resolved - Playwright refused to start while port 5189 was occupied.
  * Evidence: Command exited with code 1 and reported `http://127.0.0.1:5189 is already used`.
* Command/check: `PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE_EXISTING_SERVER=1 bun run test:e2e -- tests/e2e/ai-rogue-runtime.spec.ts tests/e2e/ai-rogue-mobile.spec.ts --project=chromium`
  * Result: FAIL, then resolved - Config expects the literal string `true`, not `1`.
  * Evidence: Command exited with code 1 and reported the same occupied-port message.
* Command/check: `rg -n "reuseExistingServer|PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE|PLAYWRIGHT_PORT|webServer|5189" playwright.config.ts scripts/playwright-webserver.sh package.json`; `lsof -iTCP:5189 -sTCP:LISTEN -P -n || true`
  * Result: PASS - Local port-conflict cause and correct env flag were identified.
  * Evidence: Config defines `reuseExistingServer = process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE_EXISTING_SERVER === "true"`; port 5189 had an existing local listener.
* Command/check: `PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE_EXISTING_SERVER=true bun run test:e2e -- tests/e2e/ai-rogue-runtime.spec.ts tests/e2e/ai-rogue-mobile.spec.ts --project=chromium`
  * Result: PASS - AI Rogue desktop/mobile browser proof passed.
  * Evidence: Playwright reported 24 passed tests in 1.0 m.
* Command/check: `PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE_EXISTING_SERVER=true bun run test:e2e -- tests/e2e/pages-demo-mobile.spec.ts --project=pages-demo-chromium`
  * Result: PASS - Public-demo mobile smoke passed.
  * Evidence: Playwright reported 24 passed tests in 57.6 s.
* UI product-surface check: PASS - AI Rogue Play, Ledger, Loadout, Settings, and pages-demo route matrix were inspected by browser tests on Chromium/mobile paths; product routes reported no local bridge requests or document overflow, and AI Rogue tests assert product-facing copy and no debug/frame/seed leaks where relevant.
* UI craft check: PASS - Browser coverage included desktop 1440x1000, mobile 390x844, compact controls, reduced-motion/high-contrast readability, nonblank canvas pixels, boss/final-defense presentation, theme decals, audio fetch proof, and route cleanup.

### Task T014 - Confirm save and migration rules

**Started**: 2026-07-01 02:35 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 02:36 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Inspected the durable save schemas and migration parser path without changing runtime code.
* Confirmed `AI_ROGUE_SAVE_SCHEMA_VERSION` remains 1 and future versions are rejected/reset by parser-owned guards rather than silently accepted.
* Confirmed durable runtime snapshots persist bounded runtime state, depth/maxDepth selectors, entity arrays, IDs, metadata, and safe text.
* Confirmed whole authored level specs remain registry-owned and are not persisted in durable save snapshots.
* Confirmed the depth-4 save test round-trips Firewall Gauntlet, Kernel Sentinel, Insight Beetle, terminal/objective state, and metadata without a schema-version bump.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - recorded T014 save and migration evidence.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/tasks.md` - marked T014 complete after evidence was recorded.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `sed -n '630,735p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/save-schema.ts`
  * Result: PASS - Durable runtime snapshots serialize bounded state and safe metadata.
  * Evidence: Output shows `aiRogueSerializedRunStateSchema` with `depth`, `maxDepth`, runtime entities, event/objective/protocol/equipment fields, and `aiRogueDurableSavedRunSnapshotSchema` with schema version 1, run state, selected upgrade, and metadata.
* Command/check: `sed -n '895,930p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/save-schema.ts`; `sed -n '1095,1125p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/save-schema.ts`
  * Result: PASS - Parser-owned migration and hydration reject unsupported or malformed snapshots.
  * Evidence: `parseCurrentRecord` rejects versions greater than `AI_ROGUE_SAVE_SCHEMA_VERSION`; durable hydration uses `aiRogueDurableSavedRunSnapshotSchema.safeParse`.
* Command/check: `sed -n '490,565p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/__tests__/save-schema.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - Depth-4 durable save behavior is covered without a schema-version bump.
  * Evidence: Test asserts `AI_ROGUE_SAVE_SCHEMA_VERSION` is 1, depth/maxDepth are 4, world theme is `firewall`, Kernel Sentinel and Insight Beetle are present, and hydrated metadata includes depth 4.
* Command/check: `sed -n '1,120p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/__tests__/save-schema-parity.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - Parser-owned persisted IDs stay aligned with runtime IDs.
  * Evidence: Tests assert `insight-beetle` is in persisted enemy IDs, active runtime IDs are covered, compatibility IDs are isolated, and accepted arrays are duplicate-free.
* Command/check: `rg -n "levelSpec|AiRogueLevelSpec|AI_ROGUE_LEVEL_SPECS|authoredLevelSpecForDepth|runtime/content" src/extensions/ai-rogue/save-schema.ts src/extensions/ai-rogue/__tests__/save-schema.test.ts src/extensions/ai-rogue/__tests__/save-schema-parity.test.ts`
  * Result: PASS - Durable save schema and save tests do not persist authored level specs.
  * Evidence: Command returned no matches.
* UI product-surface check: N/A - Documentation and source inspection only; no route-visible UI changed.
* UI craft check: N/A - No UI changed.

### Task T015 - Run privacy and non-goal scans

**Started**: 2026-07-01 02:36 IDT **Completed**: 2026-07-01 02:37 IDT **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran privacy and non-goal scans across touched docs, Session 08 artifacts, and AI Rogue source boundaries.
* Found one raw local plugin fallback path in `implementation-notes.md` from the initial analyzer/prereq evidence. Replaced it with `[apex-spec plugin script path]`.
* Confirmed follow-up exact-path and secret-shaped scans returned no matches in the touched docs and Session 08 artifacts.
* Confirmed source-boundary scan excluding tests found no admin bridge, collector, `networkAccess`, analytics, remote package/content, hosted-write, or beacon path. The only `fetch(url)` match is the local Web Audio decoder for bundled Ogg URLs created by Vite asset globs.
* Confirmed non-goal matches in docs are current prohibition/closeout language, not newly introduced capabilities.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - redacted the local fallback script path and recorded T015 evidence.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/tasks.md` - marked T015 complete after evidence was recorded.

**Verification**:

* Command/check: `rg -n --ignore-case [private-looking text patterns] [touched docs, Session 08 artifacts, AI Rogue source]`
  * Result: PASS after cleanup - The only introduced raw local path was in `implementation-notes.md`; it was replaced with `[apex-spec plugin script path]`.
  * Evidence: Remaining AI Rogue source matches are existing sanitizer regexes, public exclusion copy, and negative tests that assert private-looking strings such as `/home/operator` and `secret prompt body` do not persist or render.
* Command/check: `rg -n [raw local username path and secret-shaped token patterns] [touched docs and Session 08 artifacts]`
  * Result: PASS - No raw local username paths or secret-shaped tokens remain.
  * Evidence: Command returned no matches.
* Command/check: `rg -n [raw local username path and secret-shaped token patterns] src/extensions/ai-rogue --glob '!**/__tests__/**'`
  * Result: PASS - Runtime source has no raw local username path or secret-shaped token matches.
  * Evidence: Command returned no matches.
* Command/check: `rg -n --ignore-case "admin-bridge|collector|networkAccess|fetch\\(|sendBeacon|remote package|remote content|hosted writes|analytics" src/extensions/ai-rogue --glob '!**/__tests__/**'`
  * Result: PASS - No prohibited bridge, collector, network access, analytics, remote content, or hosted write path was introduced.
  * Evidence: The only runtime match was `fetch(url)` in `runtime/audio.ts`.
* Command/check: `sed -n '1,120p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/runtime/audio.ts`; `sed -n '500,535p' src/extensions/ai-rogue/runtime/audio.ts`
  * Result: PASS - Audio fetch is local bundled asset decoding.

## Blockers & Solutions

### Blocker 1: Playwright port 5189 already occupied

**Description**: The first T013 Playwright command could not start because `http://127.0.0.1:5189` was already in use. **Impact**: T013 browser proof could not run until the existing local server behavior was handled. **Resolution**: Inspected `playwright.config.ts`, found that reuse requires `PLAYWRIGHT_REUSE_EXISTING_SERVER=true`, and reran both browser commands with that exact value. **Time Lost**: 3 minutes

# 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/phase39-session08-validation-and-documentation-hardening/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.
