Specification Quality Checklist: Implement lane-allocation integrity

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-09-25 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — behaviour-level; code seams named only as traceability anchors
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (operator never told success while work is lost)
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (Intent Summary + user stories are plain-language)
  • ✅ 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
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (#4891 + auto-recovery explicitly out of scope)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (both defects, plus control arms)
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

  • Two-issue mission (#4889 P0 + #4905 P1); #4891 excluded (in-flight PR #5029).
  • Both issues carry explicit Expected / Regression expectation sections; these are the confirmed intent, so discovery was minimized per the operator's /spk-mission-from-issue steer.
