Specification Quality Checklist: Finalize re-pins an orphaned planning_commit_sha after a rebase

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-09-21 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — mechanism-level git predicates are named as domain entities, not code
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (operator un-wedging a P0 mission drive)
  • ✅ Written for the operator/agent stakeholder driving governed missions
  • ✅ 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 (framed as operator outcomes)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (C-005: not #2273/#3936)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (re-pin, allocator error, backward compat)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification beyond the unavoidable git-predicate vocabulary

Notes

  • Load-bearing design decisions (re-pin target = target-branch tip per C-004; --allow-orphaned explicit-confirmation gate per FR-003/FR-005; foreign-object refusal per FR-004) were stress-tested by the post-spec adversarial squad before commit.
