 # Config Validation Refactoring Plan
 
+**Status: COMPLETED ✅**
+
 ## Overview
 
 Refactor config validation logic to separate it from parsing logic in `config_loader.cpp`, creating a dedicated `config_validator` module.

-## Phase 2: Update Existing Modules
-
-**Tasks**:
-1. Update `src/config_loader.h`:
-   - Add `#include "config_validator.h"`
-
-2. Update `src/config_loader.cpp`:
-   - Replace call to `validate_initial_positions(sim)` (line 281) with `run_all_config_validations(sim)`
-   - Move inline validation blocks into separate functions in `config_validator.cpp`:
-     - `validate_parent_index_ordering()`
-     - `validate_orbital_elements()`
-   - Keep parsing functions (`parse_toml_body`, `parse_toml_spacecraft`, etc.) focused on TOML parsing only
-
-3. Update `src/simulation.h`:
-   - Remove declaration of `validate_initial_positions()`
+## Phase 2: Update Existing Modules - ✅ COMPLETE
 
-4. Update `src/simulation.cpp`:
-   - Remove implementation of `validate_initial_positions()` (lines 181-219)
+- **Updated**: `src/config_loader.h` - Added `#include "config_validator.h"`
+- **Updated**: `src/config_loader.cpp`:

-## Phase 3: Update Tests
+## Phase 3: Update Tests - ✅ COMPLETE
 
-**Tasks**:
-1. Update `tests/test_invalid_parent_assignment.cpp`:
-   - **Test 1** ("Earth should not become child of spacecraft"): **DELETE**
-     - Spacecraft are now in separate array
-     - Cannot become parent to bodies
-
-   - **Test 2** ("Massive bodies never become children of small bodies"): **UPDATE**
-     - Create new test config with small comet orbiting Earth/Mars
-     - Test should now call `load_system_config()` which will run `validate_mass_ratios()`
-     - Config should fail if mass ratio < 1000
-
-   - **Test 3** ("Detect placeholder config values"): **DELETE**
-     - This checked distance validation which is now in `validate_initial_positions()`
-     - Validation happens at load time, not needed as separate test
-
-   - **Test 4** ("Mutual SOI"): **UPDATE** to expect load failure
-     - Keep `mutual_soi_close.toml` as-is (invalid config)
-     - Test should expect `load_system_config()` to fail
-     - Verify error message about SOI overlap
-
-2. Update `tests/configs/`:
-   - Create new config for Test 2 (small comet around Earth/Mars with mass ratio < 1000)
-   - Keep `mutual_soi_close.toml` as-is (invalid for Test 4)
+- **Updated**: `tests/test_invalid_parent_assignment.cpp`:
+  - Deleted Test 1: "Earth should not become child of spacecraft" (obsolete)
+  - Deleted Test 3: "Detect placeholder config values" (obsolete)
+  - Updated Test 4: "Mutual SOI" to expect `load_system_config()` failure
