Specification Quality Checklist: Charter E2E #827 Follow-ups (Tranche A)

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-28 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (Functional / Non-Functional / Constraints)
  • ✅ IDs are unique across FR-###, NFR-###, and C-### entries
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

  • Spec contains some implementation-adjacent file path hints in the Key Entities table (e.g., tests/e2e/test_charter_epic_golden_path.py, src/specify_cli/dossier*). These are deliberate scaffolding for the planning phase, derived verbatim from the operator's start-here.md brief, and are scoped to the Key Entities section so they do not leak into FR/NFR/C language. They are pointers, not implementation prescriptions.
  • The #848 fix is constrained by C-004 to remain a hygiene/drift-detection scope. Any implementation drift toward "redesign dependency management" must be rejected at plan or review time.
  • The PR closeout expectations (FR-016 + the explicit PR-closeout section) are encoded so the merging PR mechanically satisfies the operator's brief without needing a separate cheat sheet.
  • All items currently pass. No iteration required.
