Specification Quality Checklist: CI uv-sync resilience for test-shard jobs

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-10-13 Mission: spec.md

Content Quality

jobs and the install step (the domain of the work) but leaves the helper's language/retry mechanics to planning

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — the spec names CI
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (unblocking the required merge gate)
  • ✅ Written for maintainer/contributor 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-###, C-### and SC-### entries and match the grammar
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds (≤3 attempts, ≤15s backoff, complexity ≤15, zero lint/type issues)
  • ✅ Every FR row and success criterion carries a delivery label and no-op mark
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (outcome-focused: gate not red, guards green, one shared pattern)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (happy path, all-fail, bash-syntax guard)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (C-005: three module-test shards + one helper)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified (grounding note; flakiness carve-out)

Mission Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (transient recover, deterministic red, guard reds on regression)
  • ✅ Mission meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification
