Specification Quality Checklist: Dead-Port Disposition: RuntimeEventEmitter Seam Consolidation

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-09-06 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — the spec names the seam, factory, and log as domain concepts; code anchors live in the ADR, not here
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs — operator decision-history completeness (P1), maintainer single-owner seam (P2), future-producer guidance (P3)
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders — Intent Summary and Domain Language table carry the reader
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain — three Decision Moments resolved; ledger verified clean
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (Functional / Non-Functional / Constraints)
  • ✅ IDs are unique across FR-###, NFR-###, and C-### entries (FR-001–011, NFR-001–007, C-001–007)
  • ✅ 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 — C-001 binds the ADR's blocked list; C-002 excludes the live producer
  • ✅ 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

  • Validation iteration 1: all items pass. Ready for /spec-kitty.plan.
  • SC-001 and SC-005 name a class and module by identifier because the ADR's confirmation criteria do; they are countable outcomes, not implementation prescriptions.
