Specification Quality Checklist: Evict WP runtime state into the event log

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-07-19 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

internal infra-refactor mission whose audience is maintainers; the requirements are code-surface contracts, so file:line/function anchors are load-bearing, not leakage. Reviewed and accepted.

  • [~] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — intentional exception: this is an
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs (operator friction, honest audit, no false drift)
  • ✅ Written for the intended stakeholders (maintainers)
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain (all seven design decisions ratified — brief §0)
  • ✅ 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 (Accepted)
  • ✅ Non-functional requirements include measurable thresholds (0 hash changes; 100% parity; <5%; 0 false-force/false-stale)
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable
  • ✅ Success criteria are outcome-focused (SC-001..007)
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded (C-005 out-of-scope; C-006 authority boundary)
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria (user stories US1..US6 + SC-001..007)
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • [~] No implementation details leak into specification — intentional for this infra mission (see above)

Notes

its code surface. The FRs cite verified file:line anchors (grep-verified on main HEAD 874673ea3); these will drift as the code moves and must be re-verified at implementation time.

bug from #2736 / PR #2810; it lives in the same transition-emit path this mission rewrites.
