Specification Quality Checklist: CI Health — Charter-Path Hotfix + Arch-Adversarial Shard

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-05 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — kept to WHAT/WHY; shard count and YAML shape deferred to plan
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (green + fast pipeline for maintainers)
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (purpose + scenarios are prose)
  • ✅ 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 (< 13.6 min; 100% coverage; zero dropped)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined (Scenario A + B + walkthrough)
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (docs-only trim preservation; partition no-overlap; 100% trigger)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope section)
  • ✅ 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

  • Shard count N is intentionally left to the plan phase (NFR-001 sets the target; N is the design decision).
  • Bundling two domains (docs + CI-topology) is a deliberate operator decision, recorded in Purpose.
