Specification Quality Checklist: Local Write-Safety Hardening

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-09-20 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs
  • ✅ Written for non-technical 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-###, 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 (no implementation details)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded
  • ✅ 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

Assumptions section as reversible defaults, not baked into requirements — requirements stay at the behavior/invariant level.

Post-spec adversarial squad (2026-09-20) — findings folded in

through backup (FR-006/NFR-003/SC-003); added a measurable relocation criterion for #4756 (SC-006); made #4757 service-level RMW explicit (FR-004) and its concurrency proof red-first + barrier-synchronized (NFR-002/SC-002); per-path plant tests (SC-001); NFR-001 scoped to POSIX with Windows residual stated.

(per-user prompt temp + info-disclosure/DoS → US3/FR-010/NFR-005); recorded #3960/#4003/ #2627/#4182/#4305 as Non-Goals; captured reuse constraints C-004/C-005/C-006.

WP01→WP04/WP05/WP06; #4813 hard on WP04, soft on WP02); confirmed disjoint write-scopes (6 viable lanes). #4756 left unparented; #4757 under epic #3893.

  • Renata (fidelity/DoD): tightened #4759 to require every destructive site (≥3) route
  • Paula (brownfield): folded #4760 (credential class → FR-009/US5) and #4721 fully
  • Priti (WP decomposition): added the Work Package Dependency Graph (WP01 foundation;
  • All items pass. Spec is ready for /spec-kitty.plan.
