 ## [0.34.0] - 2026-02-18
 
 ### Added
 
+- **Thorough codebase validation** (validation-01, [#163](https://github.com/nold-ai/specfact-cli/issues/163))
+  - `specfact repro --crosshair-per-path-timeout N` to run CrossHair with a higher per-path timeout (deep validation).
+  - Reference doc [Thorough Codebase Validation](docs/reference/thorough-codebase-validation.md) covering quick check (`specfact repro`), thorough contract-decorated (`hatch run contract-test-full`), sidecar for unmodified code, and dogfooding (repro + contract-test-full on specfact-cli).
+  - Unit test and TDD evidence for CrossHair per-path timeout passthrough.
 - **Init module discovery alignment** (backlog-core-01): `specfact init` now uses the same module discovery roots as command registration (`discover_all_package_metadata()`), so `--list-modules`, `--enable-module`, and `--disable-module` operate on all discovered modules including workspace-level ones (e.g. `modules/backlog-core/`). Closes [#116](https://github.com/nold-ai/specfact-cli/issues/116) scope for init-module-discovery-alignment.
 
 ### Changed
 
 - `specfact init` module state and validation now build from `discover_all_package_metadata()` instead of `discover_package_metadata(get_modules_root())`, aligning enable/disable and list-modules with runtime command discovery.
 
+### Fixed
+
+- `specfact repro --crosshair-per-path-timeout 0` (or negative) now fails with a clear error instead of being silently ignored; CLI rejects non-positive CrossHair per-path timeout values.

+
+# Thorough Codebase Validation
+
+This reference describes how to run thorough in-depth validation in different modes: quick check, contract-decorated codebases, sidecar for unmodified code, and dogfooding SpecFact CLI on itself.
+
+## Validation Modes
+
+| Mode | When to use | Primary command(s) |
+|------|-------------|---------------------|
+| **Quick check** | Fast local/CI gate (lint, type-check, CrossHair with default budget) | `specfact repro --repo <path>` |
+| **Thorough (contract-decorated)** | Repo already uses `@icontract` / `@beartype`; run full contract stack | `hatch run contract-test-full` |
+| **Sidecar (unmodified code)** | Third-party or legacy repo; no edits to target source | `specfact repro --repo <path> --sidecar --sidecar-bundle <bundle>` |
+| **Dogfooding** | Validate the specfact-cli repo with the same pipeline | `specfact repro --repo .` + `hatch run contract-test-full` (optional sidecar) |
+
+## 1. Quick check (`specfact repro`)
+
+Run the standard reproducibility suite (ruff, semgrep if config exists, basedpyright, CrossHair, optional pytest contracts/smoke):
+
+```bash
+specfact repro --repo .
+specfact repro --repo /path/to/external/repo --verbose
+```
+
+- **Time budget**: Default 120s; use `--budget N` (advanced) to change.
+- **Deep CrossHair**: To increase per-path timeout for CrossHair (e.g. for critical modules), use `--crosshair-per-path-timeout N` (seconds; N must be positive). Default behavior is unchanged when not set.
+
+```bash
+specfact repro --repo . --crosshair-per-path-timeout 60
+```
+
+Required env: none. Optional: `[tool.crosshair]` in `pyproject.toml` (e.g. from `specfact repro setup`).
+
+## 2. Thorough validation for contract-decorated codebases
+
+When your repo already has `@icontract` and `@beartype` on public APIs, use the full contract-test stack:
+
+```bash
+hatch run contract-test-full
+```
+
+This runs:
+
+- Runtime contract validation (`contract-test-contracts`)
+- CrossHair exploration (`contract-test-exploration`)
+- Scenario tests with contract references (`contract-test-scenarios`)
+
+Exploration timeout can be configured via `[tool.crosshair]` or env (e.g. `STANDARD_CROSSHAIR_TIMEOUT`). For deeper CrossHair analysis on critical paths, run CrossHair directly with a higher per-path timeout:
+
+```bash
+crosshair check --per_path_timeout=60 src/your_critical_module/
+```
+
+Document this as the recommended thorough path for contract-decorated code; CI can invoke `hatch run contract-test-full` for PR validation.
+
+## 3. Sidecar validation (unmodified code)
+
+For repositories you cannot or do not want to modify (no contract decorators added):
+
+```bash
+specfact repro --repo <path> --sidecar --sidecar-bundle <bundle-name>
+```
+
+- Main repro checks run first (lint, semgrep, type-check, CrossHair if available).
+- Then sidecar validation runs: unannotated detection, harness generation, CrossHair/Specmatic on generated harnesses. No files in the target repo are modified.
+- If CrossHair is not installed or the bundle is invalid, sidecar is skipped or partial with clear messaging; non-zero exit only for main check failures (sidecar can be advisory).
+
+See [Sidecar Validation Guide](/guides/sidecar-validation/) for setup and bundle configuration.
+
+## 4. Dogfooding (SpecFact CLI on itself)
+
+Maintainers can validate the specfact-cli repository with the same pipeline:
+
+1. **Repro + contract-test-full** (recommended minimum):
+
+   ```bash
+   specfact repro --repo .
+   hatch run contract-test-full
+   ```
+
+2. **Optional sidecar** (to cover unannotated code in specfact-cli):
+
+   ```bash
+   specfact repro --repo . --sidecar --sidecar-bundle <bundle-name>
+   ```
+
+Use the same commands in a CI job or release checklist so specfact-cli validates itself before release. No repo-specific code is required beyond existing repro and contract-test tooling.
+
+## Copy-paste summary
+
+| Goal | Commands |
+|------|----------|
+| Quick gate | `specfact repro --repo .` |
+| Deep CrossHair (repro) | `specfact repro --repo . --crosshair-per-path-timeout 60` |
+| Full contract stack | `hatch run contract-test-full` |
+| Unmodified repo | `specfact repro --repo <path> --sidecar --sidecar-bundle <name>` |
+| Dogfooding | `specfact repro --repo .` then `hatch run contract-test-full`; optionally add `--sidecar --sidecar-bundle <name>` to repro |
+
+Required env/config: optional `[tool.crosshair]` in `pyproject.toml`; for sidecar, a valid sidecar bundle and CrossHair installed when sidecar CrossHair is used.

+
+## Behavior change: CrossHair per-path timeout option
+
+### Pre-implementation (failing test)
+
+- **Test**: `tests/unit/validators/test_repro_checker.py::TestReproChecker::test_repro_checker_crosshair_per_path_timeout_passed_to_command`
+- **Command**: `hatch test -- tests/unit/validators/test_repro_checker.py -v -k "crosshair_per_path"`
+- **Timestamp**: 2026-02-18 (before implementation)
+- **Result**: Failed — `ReproChecker` had no `crosshair_per_path_timeout` and CrossHair command did not include `--per_path_timeout`.
+
+### Post-implementation (passing test)
+
+- **Command**: `hatch test -- tests/unit/validators/test_repro_checker.py -v -k "crosshair_per_path"`
+- **Timestamp**: 2026-02-18
+- **Result**: Passed — `ReproChecker(repo_path=..., crosshair_per_path_timeout=60)` produces a CrossHair invocation with `--per_path_timeout` and `60` in the command list.
+
+### Implementation summary
+
+1. Added `crosshair_per_path_timeout: int | None = None` to `ReproChecker.__init__` and stored on `self`.
+2. In `run_all_checks()`, when building `crosshair_base`, append `--per_path_timeout` and the value when `self.crosshair_per_path_timeout` is set and > 0.
+3. Added `--crosshair-per-path-timeout` option to repro command in `src/specfact_cli/modules/repro/src/commands.py` and passed through to `ReproChecker`.
+4. Unit test mocks `subprocess.run` at `specfact_cli.validators.repro_checker.subprocess.run`, runs `run_all_checks()` with `crosshair_per_path_timeout=60`, and asserts the CrossHair call includes `--per_path_timeout` and `60`.

 ## 4. Documentation: Thorough codebase validation
 
-- [ ] 4.1 Add or extend a reference section "Thorough codebase validation" (e.g. in `docs/reference/` or under existing validation doc) covering: (1) quick check (`specfact repro`), (2) thorough contract-decorated (`hatch run contract-test-full`), (3) sidecar for unmodified code (`specfact repro --sidecar --sidecar-bundle <bundle>`), (4) dogfooding (repro + contract-test-full on specfact-cli; optional sidecar).

 ## 5. Optional: CI job for thorough validation (dogfooding)
 
-- [ ] 5.1 Add or update a CI job (e.g. in `.github/workflows/`) that runs `specfact repro --repo .` and `hatch run contract-test-full` (or equivalent) so specfact-cli validates itself on PR or nightly. Use reasonable timeouts to avoid flakiness.
-- [ ] 5.2 Document the job in the "Thorough codebase validation" section; mark as optional if job is added in a follow-up.
+- [ ] 5.1 Add or update a CI job (deferred to follow-up; documented commands suffice for this change).

-- [ ] 7.2 Verify front-matter and sidebar if a new page was added; confirm no broken links.
+- [x] 7.1 Affected documentation: new `docs/reference/thorough-codebase-validation.md`; reference README and sidebar updated.
