Specification Quality Checklist: Charter Golden-Path E2E (Tranche 1)

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-04-27 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

Note: this mission is itself a test asset, so naming the test framework (pytest) and existing helpers (run_cli, run_cli_subprocess, tests/e2e/conftest.py) is unavoidably part of the WHAT. References are limited to the public-CLI surface and existing test infrastructure named in start-here.md. No implementation details for new production code are introduced.

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (the value here = trustworthy operator-path proof of the Charter epic)
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders to the extent possible given the test-asset nature of the deliverable
  • ✅ 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 where possible (CI / pytest references are unavoidable for a test-asset deliverable)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined (primary scenario + acceptable structured-outcome exception + always-true invariants)
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (acceptable structured "missing guard artifact" outcome; loud failure on inability to establish fresh project)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope section enumerates the explicit non-goals)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified (Assumptions section)

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria (each FR is independently testable; SC-001..005 enumerate the cross-cutting acceptance gates)
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (happy-path operator scenario + acceptable structured exception)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification beyond what is intrinsic to a test-asset deliverable

Notes

  • Items marked incomplete require spec updates before /spec-kitty.plan. All items currently pass.
  • Decision DM-01KQ807NKAS36HJPG6WBQN5C6G is captured in the spec's Decisions section and resolved to option A (fresh fresh_e2e_project fixture).
  • Mission is ready to proceed to /spec-kitty.plan.
