+> Per-phase validation contract for feedback sampling during execution.

+## Test Infrastructure
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Framework** | Go `testing` (+ testcontainers-go Postgres for DB suites); vitest + @vue/test-utils + happy-dom for the admin SPA |
+| **Config file** | `admin/vitest.config.ts` |
+| **Quick run command** | `go test ./modules/cabana ./modules/bouncer ./modules/pact -run 'Token|Scope|Allows' -count=1` |
+| **Full suite command** | `go vet ./... && go test ./... && npm --prefix admin test && (cd ../sm-journal-plugin && go vet ./... && go test ./...)` |
+| **Estimated runtime** | ~180 seconds (Postgres suites need a Docker host) |
+
+---
+
+## Sampling Rate
+
+- **After every task commit:** Run the quick run command plus `go vet ./...`
+- **After every plan wave:** Run the full suite command (Postgres suites on a Docker host)
+- **Before `/msd-verify-work`:** `scripts/check-phase16.3.sh` must be green (no skips, no zero-test stages)
+- **Max feedback latency:** 180 seconds
+
+---
+
+## Per-Task Verification Map
+
+Filled in by the planner from the RESEARCH.md test map (SC-1 to SC-5). Rows are added per task once PLAN.md files exist.
+
+| Task ID | Plan | Wave | Requirement | Threat Ref | Secure Behavior | Test Type | Automated Command | File Exists | Status |
+|---------|------|------|-------------|------------|-----------------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|--------|
+| 16.3-TBD | TBD | TBD | SC-1..SC-6 | T-16.3-* | see RESEARCH.md Security Domain | unit / Postgres / vitest | see RESEARCH.md Validation Architecture | ❌ W0 | ⬜ pending |

+
+## Wave 0 Requirements
+
+- [ ] `modules/cabana/token_*_test.go` — Allows / scope cover / compile / guard / inventory classification (Docker-free)
+- [ ] `modules/cabana/account_tokens_test.go` — account token API via the `adminHandler` harness
+- [ ] `modules/cabana/commands_test.go` additions — token commands (stdout purity)
+- [ ] `admin/tests/components/ApiTokensPanel.test.ts` — UI-SPEC backstops
+- [ ] `../sm-journal-plugin/journal_api_tokens_test.go` — Journal token writes via `newPostsEnv`
+- [ ] `scripts/check-phase16.3.sh` — phase gate
+
+---
+
+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
+|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
+| Clipboard copy of the show-once token in a real browser | SC-3 | Clipboard API permissions differ from happy-dom | Create a token in the admin SPA, copy it, use it as `Authorization: Bearer` against a Journal write route |
+
+---
+
+## Validation Sign-Off
+
+- [ ] All tasks have `<automated>` verify or Wave 0 dependencies
+- [ ] Sampling continuity: no 3 consecutive tasks without automated verify
+- [ ] Wave 0 covers all MISSING references
+- [ ] No watch-mode flags
+- [ ] Feedback latency < 180s
+- [ ] `nyquist_compliant: true` set in frontmatter
+
+**Approval:** pending
