### Result Summary

| Check | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1) No secrets/tokens introduced in changed docs | PASS | No raw token values, API keys, or private credential material detected in scoped diffs; only policy/example strings were found. |
| 2) Policy consistency verification | PASS | GORM conditional DoD gate, check-mode semantics, include/exclude trigger matrix, Gotify no-exposure + URL redaction, and precedence hierarchy are consistently present across canonical instructions and aligned agent/operator docs. |
| 3) Markdown lint on scoped files | PASS | `markdownlint-cli2` reports baseline debt (`319` total), but intersection of lint hits with added hunk ranges for this governance slice returned no new lint hits in added sections. |
| 4) Confirm governance-only scope for this slice | PASS | Scoped diff over the 9 target files confirms this implementation slice touches only those 9 governance files for evaluation. Unrelated branch changes were explicitly excluded by scope criteria. |
| 5) QA report update for governance slice | PASS | This section added as the governance-slice QA record. |

# Added-line lint intersection:
# 1) build added hunk ranges from `git diff -U0 -- <scoped files>`
# 2) run markdownlint output capture
# 3) intersect (file,line) lint hits with added ranges
# Result: no lint hits on added governance lines
```

### Blockers

- None specific to this governance slice.

### Baseline Notes (Non-Blocking for This Slice)

- Markdownlint baseline debt remains in the 9 scoped files and broader repository, but no new critical regression was introduced in governance-added sections for this slice.

### Final Governance Slice Verdict

**PASS** — All slice-scoped criteria passed under change-scope evaluation.

## QA/Security Validation Report - PR-2 Frontend Slice

Date: 2026-02-20
Repository: /projects/Charon
Scope: Final focused QA/security gate for notifications/security-event UX changes. Full E2E suite remains deferred to CI.

### Gate Results

| # | Required Check | Command(s) | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Focused frontend tests for changed area | `cd frontend && npm run test -- src/pages/__tests__/Notifications.test.tsx src/pages/__tests__/Security.functional.test.tsx src/components/__tests__/SecurityNotificationSettingsModal.test.tsx src/api/__tests__/notifications.test.ts` | PASS | `4` files passed, `59` tests passed, `1` skipped. |
| 2 | Frontend type-check | `cd frontend && npm run type-check` | PASS | `tsc --noEmit` completed with no errors. |
| 3 | Frontend coverage gate | `.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-frontend-coverage` | PASS | Coverage report: statements `87.86%`, lines `88.63%`; gate line threshold `85%` passed. |
| 4 | Focused Playwright suite for notifications/security UX | `npx playwright test tests/settings/notifications.spec.ts --project=firefox`<br>`npx playwright test tests/security-enforcement/zzz-security-ui/system-security-settings.spec.ts --project=security-tests` | PASS | Notifications suite (prior run): `27/27` passed. Security settings focused suite (latest): `21/21` passed. |
| 5 | Pre-commit fast hooks | `pre-commit run --files $(git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMRTUXB)` | PASS | Fast hooks passed, including `golangci-lint (Fast Linters - BLOCKING)`, `Go Vet`, `dockerfile validation`, `Frontend TypeScript Check`, and `Frontend Lint (Fix)`. |
| 6 | CodeQL findings gate status (CI-aligned outputs) | Task `Security: CodeQL Go Scan (CI-Aligned) [~60s]`<br>Task `Security: CodeQL JS Scan (CI-Aligned) [~90s]`<br>`pre-commit run --hook-stage manual codeql-check-findings --all-files` | PASS | Fresh SARIF artifacts present (`codeql-results-go.sarif`, `codeql-results-js.sarif`); manual findings gate reports no HIGH/CRITICAL findings. |
| 7 | Dockerized Trivy + Docker image scan status | `.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh security-scan-trivy vuln,secret,misconfig json`<br>Task `Security: Scan Docker Image (Local)` | PASS | Existing Dockerized Trivy result remains passing from prior run. Latest local Docker image gate: `Critical: 0`, `High: 0` (effective gate pass). |

### Confirmation of Prior Passing Gates (No Re-run)

- Frontend tests/type-check/coverage remain confirmed PASS from prior validated run.
- Pre-commit fast hooks remain confirmed PASS from prior validated run.
- CodeQL Go + JS CI-aligned scans remain confirmed PASS from prior validated run.
- Dockerized Trivy scan remains confirmed PASS from prior validated run.

### Blocking Items

- None for PR-2 focused QA/security scope.

### Final Verdict

- Overall Result: **PASS**
- Full E2E regression remains deferred to CI as requested.
- No remaining focused blockers identified.

### Handoff References

- Manual test plan (PR-1 + PR-2): `docs/issues/manual_test_provider_security_notifications_pr1_pr2.md`
- Existing focused QA evidence in this report remains the baseline for automated validation.
