Specification Quality Checklist: Arch/Perf Test-Guard Non-Vacuity Hardening

Created: 2026-09-23 | Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details prescribed (findings named as sources; the fix is the WHAT at the guard-behaviour level)
  • ✅ Focused on maintainer value (honest gates)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers
  • ✅ Requirements testable/unambiguous; types separated (FR/NFR/C)
  • ✅ IDs unique; every row has a Status
  • ✅ NFRs have measurable thresholds (6/6 vacuous→discriminating; 0 src/ files; 100% real-tree pass)
  • ✅ Success criteria measurable + technology-agnostic
  • ✅ Acceptance scenarios defined (planted-broken-input shape per story)
  • ✅ Edge cases + scope bound (C-004) identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ Each FR has clear acceptance (fails on planted broken input, passes on real tree)
  • ✅ No implementation leak

Notes

  • Coherent slice of epic #4883 (non-vacuous-guard archetype) chosen via a research+grounding+slicing squad; all six verified STILL-REAL on upstream/main and own disjoint files.
