How to read it: each step adds evidence from a different environment or failure boundary. Passing an earlier step does not replace the next one.
Validation Lab
Validation overview
Acceptance is evidence-backed, environment-specific, and separate from operational status.
Acceptance proceeds from local tests to deployed proof, restart persistence, isolated restore, clean-environment verification, and regression checks. A planned test is not a passing test; mocked-provider evidence is not real-provider evidence.
Open full-size diagram: Validation ladder: evidence progresses from local contracts through private deployment, restart and restore, a clean environment, and acceptance review.
Phases 4–6 are accepted. Phase 7 is in progress and owns sustained daily use and operational qualification; its required three-day genuine-use window is not complete. See testing dossier and evidence index.
