## 6. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

**Evidence**: `git diff --name-only 991444067326cc8cada6e19fd3b94c9459e1564b | rg -n "(^package\.json$|^bun\.lock$|migrations|prisma|drizzle|database|/db/|\.sql$|schema)"` exited 1 with no matches. This session changed chat bridge, hook, parser, mapper, tests, and spec metadata only.

**Issues found**: None

## 7. Success Criteria

From spec.md:

**Functional requirements**:

* [x] Selected ordinary model send is supported per request through client payload, bridge parsing, and argv.
* [x] MoA preset send is supported with `provider: "moa"` plus model preset, and missing model is rejected.
* [x] Invalid model/provider values return controlled errors and do not affect shell parsing or argv splitting.
* [x] Session resume, graph, yolo, image prompt, and toolset behavior remains compatible with override sends.
* [x] Pre-output hangs time out; post-output idle after output succeeds.
* [x] Sanitized `info` SSE events are parsed and retained as diagnostics without assistant message text pollution.

**Testing requirements**:

* [x] Bridge tests cover valid overrides, invalid values, arg ordering, graph/yolo compatibility, timeout behavior, disconnect cleanup, timer cleanup, and sanitized `info` events.
* [x] Hook tests cover payload serialization, early invalid option rejection, duplicate-trigger prevention, and `info` event handling.
* [x] Parser and Intelligence tests cover the `info` event contract and transcript exclusion.

**Quality gates**:

* [x] `bun run test` passed 4687/4687 tests.
* [x] `bun run typecheck:scripts` and `bun run typecheck` passed.
* [x] `bun run lint` passed.
* [x] `git diff --check` passed.
* [x] ASCII/LF check passed for 9/9 deliverables.

## 8. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

**Categories spot-checked**: naming, file structure, error handling, comments, testing, and database conventions when relevant.

**Convention violations**: None. The session keeps AI OS/Hermes naming, modifies existing owners instead of adding new abstractions, stores tests in local `__tests__` folders, uses TypeScript, and introduces no database artifacts.

## 9. 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

## 10. Behavioral Quality Spot-Check

### Status: PASS

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

* `scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts`
* `src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts`
* `src/lib/hermes-admin-types.ts`
* `src/lib/hermes-intelligence-events.ts`
* `scripts/lib/__tests__/hermes-admin-bridge.test.ts`

**Categories spot-checked**: trust boundaries, resource cleanup, mutation safety, failure paths, and contract alignment.

**Violations found**: None

**Fixes applied during validation**: None

## 11. UI Product-Surface Spot-Check

### Status: PASS

**Surfaces inspected**: Code inspection of chat stream output handling in `src/hooks/use-hermes-admin.ts` plus hook and Intelligence tests for `info` event exclusion from assistant text.

**Diagnostics found in primary UI**: None. `info` events are captured in event state; only `chunk` events mutate assistant output.

**Allowed debug/admin surfaces**: Admin chat event stream diagnostics only.

**Fixes applied during validation**: None

## Validation Result

### PASS

All validation checks passed for `phase40-session04-chat-overrides-and-runtime`.

### Unresolved Failures And Blockers

None

## Next Steps

Next command: `updateprd`

# 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/phase40-session04-chat-overrides-and-runtime/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.
