# Phase 8: Integration Testing - Context

**Gathered:** 2026-03-19
**Status:** Ready for planning

<domain>
## Phase Boundary

Validation phase: verify all components from Phases 1-7 compile and pass their unit tests when working together. No code changes expected — this is pure verification of workspace coherence and test health.

## Implementation Decisions

### Claude's Discretion

All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion — infrastructure phase.

Key constraints:

- No code changes unless a test failure requires a fix
- Full workspace compilation must succeed (all 10 crates)
- Streaming and provider crate tests cover junction fix, combined WS, rate limiter, and overlapping reconnection
- If any test fails, investigate root cause and fix (fixing issues IS the work of this phase)

</decisions>
