# Quickstart: Cross-Domain Progress Indicator Semantics Audit

**Date**: 2026-05-06  
**Branch**: `278-cross-domain-indicator-audit`

This quickstart is the intended reviewer flow after implementation of the audit package. It stays bounded to repository audit artifacts, standards-delta input, and follow-up-lane separation. No application code, migrations, runtime tests, or UI implementation belong in this slice.

## Prerequisites

1. Work from the `278-cross-domain-indicator-audit` branch with the package artifacts under `specs/278-cross-domain-indicator-audit/` present.
2. Treat `docs/product/spec-candidates.md`, `docs/product/roadmap.md`, `docs/ui/tenantpilot-enterprise-ui-standards.md`, and the named code anchors as the only source corpus for the audit.
3. Keep the slice docs and governance first. Do not change files under `apps/platform/tests/`, do not add app code, and do not widen into runtime component or migration work.
4. Keep related Specs `266`, `268`, `270`, `271`, and `272` as context-only guardrails.
5. Review the implemented outputs: `inventory.md`, `follow-up-map.md`, and `standards-delta.md`.

## Scenario 1: Review inventory coverage across the named anchors

1. Open `specs/278-cross-domain-indicator-audit/inventory.md`.
2. Confirm it covers the named source anchors from the spec and any additional indicator-like cues found through bounded repo search.
3. Confirm every visible cue records:
   - source path or anchor
   - surface and domain
   - visible wording or pattern
   - data basis and calculation basis
   - semantic category
   - determinism, scope mode, and audience mode when relevant
   - misunderstanding risk
   - one bounded disposition
4. Confirm visually similar cues are allowed to land in different categories when the underlying truth differs.

## Scenario 2: Review the derived standards delta

1. Open `specs/278-cross-domain-indicator-audit/standards-delta.md`.
2. Confirm it states the allowed categories and the anti-patterns that should not pass future review.
3. Confirm it explicitly covers:
   - determinate-progress eligibility
   - freshness and direction rules
   - customer-safe wording constraints
   - dashboard and summary-surface constraints
   - provider-boundary notes where provider-owned cues are examples, not platform-core defaults
4. Confirm the standards delta targets `docs/ui/tenantpilot-enterprise-ui-standards.md` without pretending to implement runtime UI in the same slice.

## Scenario 3: Review follow-up-lane separation

1. Open `specs/278-cross-domain-indicator-audit/follow-up-map.md`.
2. Confirm later work is split into the following separate lanes:
   - standards patch lane
   - metric/indicator contract foundation
   - shared indicator component system
   - quality gate lane
   - domain migration lane
3. Confirm no cue is left with a vague "future cleanup" recommendation.
4. Confirm the package does not collapse these lanes into one broad runtime rewrite.

## Scenario 4: Verify docs-only boundaries

1. Confirm the package outputs live in `specs/278-cross-domain-indicator-audit/` and point to future documentation targets where needed.
2. Confirm the named runtime anchors are treated as source surfaces only.
3. Confirm no app code, tests, routes, assets, panel wiring, global-search behavior, or provider registration changes were introduced.
4. Confirm the package does not reopen Specs `266`, `268`, `270`, `271`, or `272` as implementation scope.

## Implemented Output Checklist

- `inventory.md` inventories named anchors and confirmed additional in-scope cues from bounded search.
- `follow-up-map.md` keeps standards, contract, component, quality-gate, and migration lanes separate.
- `standards-delta.md` records the distilled rules applied to the UI standards document.
- `docs/product/spec-candidates.md` and `docs/product/roadmap.md` reference the five-lane follow-up posture.
- No runtime Laravel, Filament, Livewire, provider, asset, migration, route, authorization, or test files are implementation targets for this slice.

## Out-of-Scope Confirmations

While reviewing this package, confirm that it does not add or imply:

- application-code changes under `apps/platform/`
- test additions or changes under `apps/platform/tests/`
- a shared metric or indicator contract implementation
- a shared indicator component implementation
- quality-gate code or guard-test implementation
- domain migration work
- analytics, charting, or score recalculation work
- panel, provider, asset, route, or global-search changes
