== Overview
This document defines the formal validation procedure for the **GitHub Projects V2 Kanban Workflow Automation** (Phase 3 of CAPA-032).
The procedure validates all six status transitions in the automated workflow:
[horizontal]
CREATE:: Initial CAPA issue state (backlog)
IMPLEMENT:: PR opened, issue assigned to developer
VALIDATE:: Tests pass, ready for QA review
APPROVE:: QA approves, ready for qualification
RELEASE:: PM approves release version
CLOSED:: PR merged to master, issue closed
=== Referenced Workflow
* **File:** `.github/workflows/capa-kanban-sync.yml`
* **Type:** GitHub Actions Workflow
* **Architecture:** GitHub Projects V2 GraphQL API
* **Triggers:** PR events, workflow completion, comment patterns
* **Scope:** Full CAPA lifecycle automation

====
== Prerequisites
=== GitHub Project V2 Setup
The following must be configured before running the test:
[cols="1,2,1"]
|===
|Configuration|Requirement|Validation
|Project Name|"StarForth Quality Kanban"|User creates in GitHub UI
|Project Type|Table layout (GitHub Projects V2)|User configures
|Custom Field|Single-select field named "Status"|Case-sensitive, exact name
|Status Options|6 options (CREATE, IMPLEMENT, VALIDATE, APPROVE, RELEASE, CLOSED)|All must exist
|Field Type|Single Select|Not text or other type
|API Access|GitHub API token with repo scope|Automatic via GITHUB_TOKEN
|===
=== Required GitHub CLI Version
[source,bash]
----
gh --version
# Expected: gh version 2.40.0 or later
----
== Test Setup & Prerequisites Validation
=== Artifact: Setup Checklist Script
The following artifact contains the setup verification script:
[horizontal]
**Name:**:: KANBAN-SETUP-CHECKLIST.sh
**Location:**:: `docs/artifacts/kanban-workflow/KANBAN-SETUP-CHECKLIST.sh`
**SHA-256:**:: `ad9e585538aa320521e6b4af449ead6a83c9c2471e1ae2d4d592792d9bb0deaa`
**Source Commit:**:: de928e94b5f241e346c8ff917069b0bb24c9301c
**Permissions:**:: executable (755)
[NOTE]
====
To verify artifact integrity:
[source,bash]
----
cd docs/artifacts/kanban-workflow
sha256sum KANBAN-SETUP-CHECKLIST.sh
# Expected: ad9e585538aa320521e6b4af449ead6a83c9c2471e1ae2d4d592792d9bb0deaa
----
====
=== Prerequisite Verification Procedure
Execute the setup verification script:
[source,bash,id=setup-verify-procedure]
----
bash docs/artifacts/kanban-workflow/KANBAN-SETUP-CHECKLIST.sh
----
The script verifies the following in order:
.Verification Steps
|===
|Step|Verification|Expected Result
|1|GitHub CLI installed|gh --version returns v2.40.0+
|2|GitHub authentication|gh auth status succeeds
|3|Repository access|gh repo view rajames440/StarForth succeeds
|4|GitHub Project V2 exists|Project "StarForth Quality Kanban" found
|5|Workflow deployed|capa-kanban-sync.yml on master branch
|===
[WARNING]
====
Do not proceed with testing until all 5 prerequisites pass.
If any check fails, the script will exit with status code 1.
====
== Test Execution
=== Overview
The validation test consists of executing a full lifecycle test that progresses through all six status states. The test is designed to be interactive and auditable.
=== Artifact: Interactive Test Script

[IMPORTANT]
====
To verify the artifact has not been modified:
[source,bash]
----
cd docs/artifacts/kanban-workflow
sha256sum KANBAN-QUICK-TEST.sh
# Expected: ef13d408853a1bd221b4f31a8968a729f14ba1f9d02d5bff82cf733a39070a20
----
====
=== Test Procedure
==== Step 1: Identify Project ID
[source,bash,id=get-project-id]
----
gh project list --owner rajames440
----
Expected output format:
----
3 DRAFT StarForth Quality Kanban
^
PROJECT_ID (use this number in next step)
----
==== Step 2: Create Test Issue
Create a test CAPA issue to drive the workflow:
[source,bash,id=create-test-issue]
----
gh issue create \
--title "Test: Kanban Workflow Automation" \
--body "## CAPA:
**Problem:** Testing Kanban automation workflow
**Reproduce:**
1. Create PR closing this issue
2. Check GitHub Projects board
**Expected Behavior:**
Issue moves through all 6 status states"
----
Note the returned issue number (e.g., #147).
==== Step 3: Execute Full Lifecycle Test
[source,bash,id=execute-test]
----
bash docs/artifacts/kanban-workflow/KANBAN-QUICK-TEST.sh <ISSUE_NUM> <PROJECT_ID>
----
Example:
[source,bash]
----
bash docs/artifacts/kanban-workflow/KANBAN-QUICK-TEST.sh 147 3
----
==== Test Execution Flow
The script executes the following sequence:
[cols="1,2,1,1"]
|===
|Phase|Action|Trigger|Expected Status
|1|Create PR with issue reference|`Closes #147`|IMPLEMENT
|2|Wait for test workflow|workflow_run success|VALIDATE
|3|Post QA approval comment|"✅ QA Approved"|APPROVE
|4|Post PM release comment|"✅ PM Release v0.9.5"|RELEASE
|5|Merge PR to master|merge event|CLOSED
|===
=== Verification at Each Step
==== After Phase 1: PR Creation
Verify PR was created:
[source,bash]
----
gh pr list --search "Kanban Workflow" --state open
----
Expected: PR appears in list with status "OPEN"
==== After Phase 2: Test Completion
Verify workflow execution:
[source,bash]
----
gh run list --workflow capa-kanban-sync.yml --limit 1
----
Expected: Latest run shows status "completed" with conclusion "success"
Check Kanban board status:
[source,bash]
----
gh api graphql -f query='
query {
organization(login: "rajames440") {
projectV2(number: 3) {
items(first: 10) {
nodes {
content { ... on Issue { number } }
fieldValues(first: 5) {
nodes {
... on ProjectV2ItemFieldSingleSelectValue {
field { name }
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
'
----
Expected: Issue #147 shows field "Status" = "VALIDATE"
==== After Phase 3: QA Approval
Verify comment posted:
[source,bash]
----
gh pr view <PR_NUM> --json comments -q ".comments[] | select(.body | contains(\"QA Approved\"))"
----
Check Kanban status updated:
[source,bash]
----
# Re-run GraphQL query above
# Expected: Issue #147 shows Status = "APPROVE"
----
==== After Phase 4: PM Release
Verify comment posted:
[source,bash]
----
gh pr view <PR_NUM> --json comments -q ".comments[] | select(.body | contains(\"PM Release\"))"
----
Check Kanban status:
[source,bash]
----
# Re-run GraphQL query
# Expected: Issue #147 shows Status = "RELEASE"
----
==== After Phase 5: PR Merge
Verify merge:
[source,bash]
----
gh pr view <PR_NUM> --json state
# Expected: state = "MERGED"
----
Final Kanban verification:
[source,bash]
----
# Re-run GraphQL query
# Expected: Issue #147 shows Status = "CLOSED"
----
