# Sprint 04 Validation Report (2026-02-20) |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
## Scope |
| 4 |
1. Hardening regression checks after Sprint 04 code changes. |
| 5 |
2. Automated reliability checks for daemon restart resilience. |
| 6 |
3. Runtime race validation for active prompt interruption paths. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
## Commands |
| 9 |
1. `cargo test --workspace` |
| 10 |
2. `./examples/validate-sprint-04.sh` (executed with default `stub` backend) |
| 11 |
3. `./examples/validate-sprint-04-runtime.sh` (executed with `polkit` backend) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
## Results |
| 14 |
1. Workspace tests passed (`41` garcard tests + workspace crates). |
| 15 |
2. `validate-sprint-04.sh` passed baseline and restart loop checks: |
| 16 |
- daemon reachable via `ping`/`status` |
| 17 |
- restart loop completed (`3` stop/start iterations) |
| 18 |
- post-restart status and auth summary remained healthy (`idle`) |
| 19 |
3. Optional interactive `pkcheck` loop was intentionally skipped in this run: |
| 20 |
- requires live polkit challenge flow and operator interaction. |
| 21 |
4. Runtime race harness passed for both previously manual checks: |
| 22 |
- active prompt + daemon restart (`garcardctl quit`) |
| 23 |
- active prompt + `SIGTERM` |
| 24 |
5. Runtime log evidence (`target/garcard-sprint04-runtime.log`) confirms: |
| 25 |
- auth request reached active processing before interruption |
| 26 |
- daemon shutdown/termination unregistered cleanly |
| 27 |
- relaunch succeeded with healthy `status` and `auth-summary` |
| 28 |
6. Acceptance behavior update (2026-02-24): |
| 29 |
- wrong-password path verified (`auth-summary: failure`) |
| 30 |
- cancel path verified (`auth-summary: canceled`) |
| 31 |
- helper diagnostics classification tightened to avoid treating plaintext helper lines as protocol errors |
| 32 |
7. Regression coverage update (2026-02-25): |
| 33 |
- added helper callback-path tests for explicit `SUCCESS`/`FAILURE` outcomes. |
| 34 |
- added helper diagnostic-then-success test to guard against false failure signaling on success. |
| 35 |
- added agent-level mocked retry conversation test (first failure, second success) to verify recoverable in-session retry behavior. |
| 36 |
- workspace test baseline now includes `51` `garcard` tests. |
| 37 |
8. Interactive acceptance closure (2026-02-25): |
| 38 |
- daemon log capture: `/tmp/garcard-auth.log`. |
| 39 |
- first attempt failed and retried in-session: |
| 40 |
- `Received helper protocol line helper_line=FAILURE` |
| 41 |
- `Authentication denied; retrying prompt ... attempt=1` |
| 42 |
- second attempt succeeded: |
| 43 |
- `Received helper protocol line helper_line=SUCCESS` |
| 44 |
- `Completed polkit auth request callback ... outcome=Authorized` |
| 45 |
- this confirms recoverable wrong-password behavior and successful-auth completion in one challenge flow. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
## Hardening Outcomes Confirmed |
| 48 |
1. IPC control path now validates same-UID peer credentials. |
| 49 |
2. Prompt UI runtime path no longer relies on panic/`expect` for color parsing. |
| 50 |
3. Helper response buffers are scrubbed after sending to helper socket. |
| 51 |
4. Prompt input handling now moves submitted secrets without cloning and scrubs prompt/output buffers after use. |
| 52 |
5. Prompt feedback tones are wired for auth outcomes (success/error), with error flash behavior in built-in prompt mode. |
| 53 |
6. Built-in prompt reuses a persistent modal so auth failure feedback can flash inline and reprompt without window teardown. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
## Remaining Manual Sprint 04 Checks |
| 56 |
1. None. Interactive success confirmation completed on 2026-02-25. |
