Checklists

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-08-31 Feature: spec.md

✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — design decisions name existing seams (meta.json, resolver precedent) as authority rationale, not implementation; kept at the policy level
✅ Focused on user value and business needs (prevent silent data loss)
✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (problem context + scenarios are plain-language)
✅ All mandatory sections completed

✅ 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 (non-goals: consolidation algorithm, non-retaining missions)
✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
✅ User scenarios cover primary flows (retain, explicit-delete override, create-time opt-in, dry-run)
✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
✅ No implementation details leak into specification

decision (D-2: retain + warn, explicit override to delete) are recorded in the spec with rationale per the mission brief's directive.
