# Specification Quality Checklist: Remove Findings Lifecycle Backfill Runtime Surfaces

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning  
**Created**: 2026-04-28  
**Feature**: specs/253-remove-findings-backfill-runtime-surfaces/spec.md

## Content Quality

- [x] No language/framework/API design leakage; concrete repo surfaces, commands, and labels are named only because this cleanup deletes those exact shipped traces.
- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
- [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 unintended implementation design leakage remains beyond the explicit cleanup special-case for named repo-visible traces

## Test Governance Review

- [x] Lane fit is explicit: the package uses `fast-feedback` and `confidence`, plus one retained `heavy-governance` guard in `apps/platform/tests/Feature/OperationalControls/NoAdHocOperationalControlBypassTest.php` so operational-control bypass residue cannot survive the cleanup silently.
- [x] No new browser or heavy-governance family is introduced; the retained guard stays explicit, bounded, and tied to operational-control source-trace removal only.
- [x] Suite-cost outcome is net-negative: backfill-only tests, lane traces, and helper residue are removed in the same slice instead of widening shared defaults.

## Review Outcome

- [x] Review outcome class: `acceptable-special-case`
- [x] Workflow outcome: `keep`
- [x] Review-note location is explicit: the heavy-governance retention note lives in `spec.md`, `plan.md`, `tasks.md`, and the final preparation report.

## Notes

- The spec intentionally names concrete routes, commands, labels, and catalog keys because the product value of this slice is the removal of those specific repo-visible runtime surfaces.
- The slice stays small by deleting visible repair tooling only; acknowledged-status cleanup and creation-time invariant hardening remain explicit follow-up candidates.
- Validation pass complete: no clarification markers remain, LEAN-001 cleanup posture is explicit, and tenant-owned findings continue to treat `workspace_id` plus `tenant_id` as required anchors.
