Specification Quality Checklist: Resolver-Seam Completion (action-grain union)

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-15 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details beyond what the issue/ADR fix (this is a targeted internal-seam completion; file:line anchors are intentional per the ADR)
  • ✅ Focused on the governance-system value (real cross-grain safety) and maintainer needs
  • ✅ Written for the stakeholders who own the seam
  • ✅ 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 (p99 ≤ 100ms; no load_action_index on hot path)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are outcome-focused (guard catches real double-declaration; gating unchanged; no scaffold survives)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified (disjoint grains; deactivated types; hot path)
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (Out of Scope names the later slices)
  • ✅ 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 beyond the intended seam anchors

Notes

  • C-003 makes the transitional parity scaffold disposable (deleted before landing); FR-006 enforces it.
  • FR-005 may spin out to a follow-up if it exceeds campsite size.
