# Specification Quality Checklist: Unified Workflow Engine — Production Hardening & Integrated Context

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
**Created**: 2026-05-02
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)

---

## Content Quality

- [~] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) — *Note: Technology-specific terms (Redis, BullMQ, ClamAV, JSON Logic) are present in FRs as ADR-mandated architectural constraints (ADR-001/ADR-008/ADR-016), not spec-level implementation choices. Consistent with existing `001-transmittals-circulation/spec.md` pattern.*
- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
- [~] Written for non-technical stakeholders — *Note: Platform/infrastructure feature; technical Functional Requirements (FR-001 to FR-021) intentionally use ADR terminology. User Stories (P1-P3) and Success Criteria are non-technical.*
- [x] All mandatory sections completed

## Requirement Completeness

- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
- [x] Success criteria are measurable
- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
- [x] Edge cases are identified
- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified

## Feature Readiness

- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
- [x] No implementation details leak into specification

## Notes

- Spec derived from ADR-001 (Unified Workflow Engine v1.1 — 2026-05-02 production hardening) and ADR-021 (Integrated Workflow Context & Step-specific Attachments)
- **Clarification session 2026-05-02 (5/5 questions resolved):**
  - Q1: DSL `require.role` → CASL ability check (FR-002a)
  - Q2: Observability = structured log + metrics (FR-022, FR-023, SC-009)
  - Q3: File rollback on DB failure = move back to temp, 24h TTL (FR-019)
  - Q4: Admin UI for DSL authoring is IN scope (FR-024, FR-025)
  - Q5: All 4 modules (RFA/Transmittal/Circulation/Correspondence) need banner gap-filling (FR-011, Assumptions updated)
- ADR-001 clarifications fully captured in FR-001 through FR-010 and SC-001 through SC-005
- ADR-021 requirements (REQ-01 to REQ-06) fully captured in FR-011 through FR-025 and SC-006 through SC-009
- Visual workflow builder (drag-and-drop DSL editor) is explicitly **out of scope** (Phase 2)
