# Implementation Plan: Feature Readiness Gate Audit

**Branch**: `305-feature-readiness-gate-audit` | **Date**: 2026-05-15 | **Spec**: `specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/spec.md`
**Input**: Feature specification from `/specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/spec.md`

## Summary

Create a docs-only readiness gate for TenantPilot after Specs 301-304. The implementation is repository inspection plus one audit artifact that decides whether the next productization feature, likely Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1, may start. No application runtime, migrations, tests, routes, UI, or roadmap content will be changed.

## Technical Context

**Language/Version**: PHP 8.4.15, Laravel 12.52.0, Filament 5.2.1, Livewire 4.1.4
**Primary Dependencies**: Laravel, Filament v5, Livewire v4, Pest 4, PostgreSQL via Sail
**Storage**: N/A for this feature; existing PostgreSQL schema is read only for audit evidence
**Testing**: Existing Pest feature/unit/browser tests only; no new tests
**Validation Lanes**: confidence via focused feature/unit tests; browser tests cited where existing and relevant; `git diff --check`
**Target Platform**: Laravel Sail local development, Dokploy container deployment for staging/production unchanged
**Project Type**: Laravel monolith under `apps/platform` plus docs/spec artifacts
**Performance Goals**: N/A - docs-only
**Constraints**: No runtime code changes, no migrations, no test edits, no UI surfaces, no Decision Register feature work
**Scale/Scope**: One readiness gate over 12 requested audit areas

## UI / Surface Guardrail Plan

- **Guardrail scope**: no operator-facing surface change.
- **Native vs custom classification summary**: N/A.
- **Shared-family relevance**: audit references navigation, governance, evidence, reviews, RBAC, audit, and OperationRun links as existing families only.
- **State layers in scope**: none.
- **Audience modes in scope**: N/A.
- **Decision/diagnostic/raw hierarchy plan**: N/A.
- **Raw/support gating plan**: N/A.
- **One-primary-action / duplicate-truth control**: The audit prevents duplicate next-feature truth by distinguishing existing Decision Register runtime from a legitimate follow-up spec.
- **Handling modes by drift class or surface**: Stale roadmap/spec-candidate truth is recorded as a condition, not silently rewritten.
- **Repository-signal treatment**: review-mandatory.
- **Special surface test profiles**: global-context-shell, standard-native-filament, shared-detail-family, monitoring-state-page evidence only.
- **Required tests or manual smoke**: focused feature/unit validation. No new browser smoke required for docs-only changes.
- **Exception path and spread control**: none.
- **Active feature PR close-out entry**: Guardrail.

## Shared Pattern & System Fit

- **Cross-cutting feature marker**: yes, audit-only.
- **Systems touched**: Spec Kit docs under `specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/`.
- **Shared abstractions reused**: No runtime reuse. Evidence can reference existing runtime abstractions such as `WorkspaceScopedTenantRoutes`, `ScopesGlobalSearchToTenant`, `OperationRunLinks`, governance builders, policy/capability helpers, and audit recorders.
- **New abstraction introduced? why?**: none.
- **Why the existing abstraction was sufficient or insufficient**: Existing repo structures provide enough evidence for a readiness decision.
- **Bounded deviation / spread control**: The only output beyond standard Spec Kit files is `feature-readiness-audit.md`.

## OperationRun UX Impact

- **Touches OperationRun start/completion/link UX?**: no.
- **Central contract reused**: N/A.
- **Delegated UX behaviors**: N/A.
- **Surface-owned behavior kept local**: none.
- **Queued DB-notification policy**: N/A.
- **Terminal notification path**: N/A.
- **Exception path**: none.

## Provider Boundary & Portability Fit

- **Shared provider/platform boundary touched?**: no.
- **Provider-owned seams**: N/A.
- **Platform-core seams**: N/A.
- **Neutral platform terms / contracts preserved**: Existing terms remain unchanged.
- **Retained provider-specific semantics and why**: none.
- **Bounded extraction or follow-up path**: none.

## Constitution Check

*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*

- Inventory-first: pass. The audit distinguishes current repo evidence from roadmap/spec-candidate intent.
- Read/write separation: pass. No writes to runtime data or external systems.
- Graph contract path: N/A. No Graph calls or contracts changed.
- Deterministic capabilities: pass. Existing capability/RBAC tests may be cited; no capability logic changed.
- RBAC-UX: pass. The audit verifies admin/system separation, workspace isolation, global search posture, and retired tenant-panel routes as evidence.
- Workspace isolation: pass. The audit checks workspace-first admin runtime and environment-bound surfaces.
- Destructive-like actions require confirmation: pass. No actions changed; existing destructive action posture is evidence only.
- Tenant isolation: pass. No runtime reads/writes changed.
- Run observability: pass. No new `OperationRun` creation; existing link/execution truth is audited.
- OperationRun start UX: pass. No start/link semantics are changed.
- Ops-UX lifecycle: pass. No lifecycle code changed.
- Ops-UX summary counts: pass. No summary counts changed.
- Ops-UX guards: pass. Existing guard tests are used where relevant.
- Automation: N/A.
- Data minimization: pass. No data storage/logging changes.
- Test governance (TEST-GOV-001): pass. The spec records the focused validation lane without adding tests.
- Proportionality (PROP-001): pass. Documentation artifact only; no runtime structure.
- No premature abstraction (ABSTR-001): pass. No new abstractions.
- Persisted truth (PERSIST-001): pass. No persisted runtime truth.
- Behavioral state (STATE-001): pass. No new states.
- UI semantics (UI-SEM-001): pass. No UI semantics changed.
- Shared pattern first (XCUT-001): pass. Audit references existing shared paths only.
- Provider boundary (PROV-001): pass. No provider boundary changes.
- V1 explicitness / few layers (V1-EXP-001, LAYER-001): pass. One docs artifact.
- Spec discipline / bloat check (SPEC-DISC-001, BLOAT-001): pass. Scope is limited to the readiness gate.
- Badge semantics (BADGE-001): N/A.
- Filament-native UI (UI-FIL-001): pass. No Filament UI changes.
- UI/UX surface taxonomy (UI-CONST-001 / UI-SURF-001): N/A.
- Decision-first operating model (DECIDE-001): pass. The audit itself gates a product decision; no operator surface changes.
- Audience-aware disclosure (DECIDE-AUD-001 / OPSURF-001): N/A.
- UI/UX inspect model (UI-HARD-001): N/A.
- UI/UX action hierarchy (UI-HARD-001 / UI-EX-001): N/A.
- UI/UX scope, truth, and naming (UI-HARD-001 / UI-NAMING-001 / OPSURF-001): pass. No naming changes.
- UI/UX placeholder ban (UI-HARD-001): N/A.
- UI naming (UI-NAMING-001): N/A.
- Operator surfaces (OPSURF-001): pass. No operator surface changes.
- Filament UI Action Surface Contract: pass. No Filament Resource/RelationManager/Page changes.
- Filament UI UX-001 (Layout & IA): N/A.
- Action-surface discipline (ACTSURF-001 / HDR-001): N/A.
- UI review workflow: pass. Guardrail classification is explicit and not duplicated into runtime work.

## Test Governance Check

- **Test purpose / classification by changed surface**: N/A for changed files; existing focused tests are used as readiness evidence.
- **Affected validation lanes**: confidence via existing feature/unit tests; browser lane is not required for a docs-only diff.
- **Why this lane mix is the narrowest sufficient proof**: The artifact changes only documentation. Focused tests prove the repo foundations being audited are currently green where practical.
- **Narrowest proving command(s)**:
  - `cd apps/platform && ./vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Guards/NoLegacyTenantPanelRuntimeTest.php tests/Feature/Guards/NoActiveTenantResourceRoutesTest.php tests/Feature/Workspaces/WorkspaceIntendedUrlLegacyRejectionTest.php`

  - `git diff --check`
- **Fixture / helper / factory / seed / context cost risks**: none.
- **Expensive defaults or shared helper growth introduced?**: no.
- **Heavy-family additions, promotions, or visibility changes**: none.
- **Surface-class relief / special coverage rule**: N/A.
- **Closing validation and reviewer handoff**: Confirm tests were run or explicitly recorded as skipped with reason; confirm `git status --short` stays under `specs/305-feature-readiness-gate-audit/`.
- **Budget / baseline / trend follow-up**: none.
- **Review-stop questions**: Does the audit accidentally start a feature spec, change application code, or treat stale docs as stronger than repo truth?
- **Escalation path**: document-in-feature if validation exposes an existing blocker.
- **Active feature PR close-out entry**: Guardrail.
- **Why no dedicated follow-up spec is needed**: This is the dedicated readiness gate requested by the user.

## Filament v5 Output Contract

- **Livewire v4.0+ compliance**: The installed runtime is Livewire 4.1.4 with Filament 5.2.1; this feature makes no runtime changes and introduces no Livewire v3 references.
- **Provider registration location**: Existing panel providers remain registered in `apps/platform/bootstrap/providers.php`. This feature does not modify provider registration.
- **Globally searchable resources**: Existing audited posture only. `EntraGroupResource` is globally searchable and has a View page. `InventoryItemResource` has a View page. Policy, PolicyVersion, FindingException, EvidenceSnapshot, EnvironmentReview, ReviewPack, and StoredReport surfaces are disabled for global search or remain non-global-search evidence as recorded in the audit.
- **Destructive actions**: None introduced or changed. Existing destructive actions remain outside this docs-only diff; confirmation and authorization are validated only through existing tests/resource inspection.
- **Asset strategy**: No assets added or changed. Existing deployment posture for Filament assets remains unchanged; deploys that publish registered Filament assets still run `cd apps/platform && php artisan filament:assets`.
- **Testing plan**: Existing focused Filament/navigation, governance, findings, evidence, review, OperationRun/route-retirement, and `git diff --check` validations are listed above. No Livewire tests are added or modified.

## Complexity Tracking

| Violation | Why Needed | Simpler Alternative Rejected Because |
|---|---|---|
| None | N/A | N/A |

## Phase Plan

1. **Audit prep**: Read Constitution, roadmap/spec candidates, Specs 301-304, related close-out notes, and relevant runtime/test evidence.
2. **Evidence collection**: Inspect route/provider state, resource/global-search posture, governance/finding/evidence/review/OperationRun/RBAC/audit foundations, and existing tests.
3. **Artifact creation**: Write `feature-readiness-audit.md` with the required readiness matrix, blocker actions, validation evidence, and next-feature recommendation.
4. **Validation**: Run focused tests where practical and `git diff --check`.
5. **Close-out**: Confirm only spec artifacts changed and summarize GO / GO WITH CONDITIONS / NO-GO.
