Specification Quality Checklist: Owned issue-verdict authority

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-10-17 Mission: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — module/function names appear only as traceability anchors in Key Entities/Constraints, not as the requirement wording
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (owned-only mission can complete the review→approve path)
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders (headline behavior stated in plain language)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain (decision verify: clean, 0 deferred)
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous
  • ✅ Requirement types are separated (Functional / Non-Functional / Constraints)
  • ✅ IDs are unique across FR/NFR/C/SC and match the grammar
  • ✅ All requirement rows include a non-empty Status value
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds (fail-closed refusal exercised; additive None-default params; layer direction preserved)
  • ✅ Every FR row and success criterion carries a delivery label and no-op mark
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (write gate + coord-owned read path; per operator scope decision)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Mission Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Mission meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

  • Scope boundary (include-coord-owned-read) resolved via Decision Moment DM-01M55KHFFMTF0N8FE1TWG3BEZ5.
  • FR-005/FR-006 are ratchet rows with same-fixture positive controls (paired with FR-002/FR-001) to keep them non-vacuous.
