# Phase 15 Validation Results

**Date:** 2026-06-25  
**Recommendation:** **Not ready for Phase 16**

## Executed results

- Supplied Phase 14 package manifest: passed, 466 files verified.
- Dependency-free repository validators: 16 passed, 0 failed.
- Baseline static audit: 4 High and 7 Medium findings.
- Current static audit: passed with zero findings.
- Exact media-type behavior assertions: 8 passed, 0 failed, 2 Node experimental-runtime warnings.
- Defects fixed in Phase 15: 2 High and 2 Medium.
- Accepted exceptions: 0.

## Blocked results

The exact frozen dependency installation could not run because Node 24.17.0 and pnpm 11.9.0 were unavailable and registry DNS could not activate the pinned package manager. Formatting, linting, strict type checking, current unit and integration tests, browser/end-to-end execution, automated and manual accessibility, visual regression, performance, dependency audit, production build, deployment rehearsal, and rollback rehearsal remain unexecuted for this release candidate.

Historical Phase 14 results are retained for traceability but are not reported as current Phase 15 passes. The cumulative unresolved issue register contains 1 Critical, 21 High, 17 Medium, and 2 Low items.
