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 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] Task Security: CodeQL JS Scan (CI-Aligned) [~90s] 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 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).
