Specification Quality Checklist: Close #2160 Coord-Shadows Read/Gate Arm

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-12 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • [~] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — intentionally relaxed: this is an internal test-infra / status-gate remediation mission whose actors are developers and operators; the spec references the code seams it consolidates onto (canonical-sources discipline), consistent with prior infra missions.
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (trustworthy subtask/claim signal; no false stale warnings; correct gate)
  • ✅ Written for the relevant stakeholders (operators / orchestrating agents)
  • ✅ 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 (0-failed suites, zero new lint/type issues, byte-identical bite, no crash on any platform)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are outcome-focused
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined (4 primary scenarios + edge cases)
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope section; WS5 split candidate flagged)
  • ✅ 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 — see Content Quality note (deliberate for this mission class)
