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

---

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.
• 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.
• All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

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