# Requirements Checklist: Feature Readiness Gate Audit

**Purpose**: Validate that Spec 305 remains a docs-only readiness gate and satisfies the user acceptance criteria.
**Created**: 2026-05-15
**Feature**: `specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/spec.md`

## Spec Scope

- [x] Scope is documentation-only.
- [x] No runtime code changes are required or planned.
- [x] No migrations are required or planned.
- [x] No new UI surfaces are required or planned.
- [x] No tests are created or modified by this spec.
- [x] Specs 301-304 are treated as completed context and not reopened.
- [x] The roadmap is not rewritten.
- [x] Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 is not specified or implemented here.
- [x] Legacy tenant panel compatibility is not reintroduced.

## Audit Artifact Requirements

- [x] `feature-readiness-audit.md` exists under `specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/`.
- [x] The audit includes a repo-based matrix covering all 12 requested readiness areas.
- [x] Matrix statuses use only `ready`, `ready with caveat`, `blocker`, and `not applicable`.
- [x] Every blocker, if any, has a recommended action.
- [x] The audit explicitly evaluates whether Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 may start as the next feature spec.
- [x] The audit documents a final `GO`, `GO WITH CONDITIONS`, or `NO-GO` recommendation.

## Evidence Requirements

- [x] Workspace/Admin Runtime readiness is assessed.
- [x] Environment-bound Surface readiness is assessed.
- [x] Legacy Route/Panel Retirement readiness is assessed.
- [x] Governance Feature Foundation readiness is assessed.
- [x] OperationRun Link/Execution Truth readiness is assessed.
- [x] Evidence/StoredReport Artifact Truth readiness is assessed.
- [x] Findings/Risk Acceptance readiness is assessed.
- [x] Review/Review Pack readiness is assessed.
- [x] RBAC/Capability readiness is assessed.
- [x] Audit/Event readiness is assessed.
- [x] Navigation/IA readiness is assessed.
- [x] Test Lane readiness is assessed.

## Validation Requirements

- [x] Focused Filament/navigation/legacy route tests from Specs 301-304 are run or explicitly recorded as skipped with reason.
- [x] Relevant Governance/Findings/Evidence/OpsUx tests are run or explicitly recorded as skipped with reason.
- [x] `git diff --check` is run.
- [x] `git status --short` confirms only `specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/` changed.
- [x] Validation outcomes are copied into `feature-readiness-audit.md`.

## Quality Checks

- [x] Requirements are unambiguous and testable by document review.
- [x] No implementation detail mandates application changes.
- [x] Caveats are separated from blockers.
- [x] Stale product docs are treated as conditions, not as stronger truth than repo code/tests.
- [x] The next-feature recommendation distinguishes a fresh duplicate Decision Register spec from a legitimate follow-up or close-out path.
