What Validate Phase does

description: Run a phase's acceptance gates and the closure test; flip status to done only on a clean pass argument-hint:

/validate-phase

**Purpose:** the deterministic gate at the end of a phase (P3). Generation may be wrong; this step is where wrong is caught. Only a clean pass may set `done` — a phase marked `done` is load-bearing for every phase that depends on it.

**Arguments:** `$1` — the phase id. Required.

**Preconditions:** `docs/phases/$1/spec.md` and `notes.md
