Feature Readiness Audit

Spec: 305-feature-readiness-gate-audit Branch: 305-feature-readiness-gate-audit Audit date: 2026-05-15 Scope: Docs-only repo audit after Specs 301-304 Result: GO WITH CONDITIONS

Executive Recommendation

TenantPilot is ready to resume productization planning on top of the workspace-first /admin runtime, environment-bound routes, retired legacy tenant-panel posture, governance foundations, OperationRun links, evidence/report artifacts, findings/risk acceptance, reviews/review packs, RBAC/capabilities, audit/event foundations, and focused test lanes.

The next feature must not restart Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 as a fresh greenfield spec. Repo evidence shows Decision Register work already exists under Spec 265 with runtime pages, builders, navigation, and tests. The valid next step is either:

1. Close out and reconcile the existing Decision Register implementation and stale product docs, or
2. Start a narrowly named follow-up spec that builds on the implemented Decision Register truth without duplicating Spec 265.

The recommendation is GO WITH CONDITIONS:

• Condition 1: Do not create a duplicate fresh Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 spec. Treat existing Spec 265/runtime as current repo truth.
• Condition 2: Reconcile stale product queue docs before using them as the source for next-feature selection. docs/product/implementation-ledger.md and docs/product/spec-candidates.md still describe Decision Register as not implemented or only partly repo-real.
• Condition 3: Keep the next productization slice on canonical workspace/environment routes and do not reintroduce /admin/t or /admin/tenants compatibility.
• Condition 4: If the next slice changes artifact lifecycle, retention, export, or approval mutation behavior, split that into an explicit feature spec rather than bundling it into this gate.

Readiness Matrix

#	Readiness Area	Status	Repo Evidence	Caveat / Blocker	Recommended Action
1	Workspace/Admin Runtime Readiness	ready	apps/platform/bootstrap/providers.php registers AdminPanelProvider and SystemPanelProvider; apps/platform/app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php owns the /admin panel; Spec 304 records tenant-panel runtime dead-code retirement.	No runtime caveat found for next planning.	Start next work from the workspace-first /admin runtime. Keep provider registration in bootstrap/providers.php for Laravel 11+/12.
2	Environment-bound Surface Readiness	ready with caveat	Canonical environment routes exist under /admin/workspaces/{workspace}/environments/{environment}; WorkspaceScopedTenantRoutes, ResolvesPanelTenantContext, and TenantOwnedModelFamilies define the current tenant/environment surface posture; Specs 301-303 validated Inventory and Entra Groups cutovers.	Governance artifact proof is distributed across several resource/test families rather than one single route-audit proof.	For the next runtime feature, cite the exact resource/test family touched and keep deep links canonical under workspace/environment routes.
3	Legacy Route/Panel Retirement Readiness	ready	Specs 302 and 304 record no active /admin/t or /admin/tenants route families; route inspection returns no matching legacy routes; 304 added guard coverage for absent tenant panel runtime and legacy route rejection.	No blocker found.	Do not add compatibility aliases. Any next feature route must be canonical workspace/admin only.
4	Governance Feature Foundation Readiness	ready with caveat	GovernanceInbox and DecisionRegister pages exist; GovernanceInboxSectionBuilder and GovernanceDecisionRegisterBuilder exist; governance inbox and Decision Register tests exist under tests/Feature/Governance and tests/Unit/Support/Governance*.	Product docs drift: roadmap/candidate docs still frame Decision Register as future/partly implemented while runtime/tests exist.	Reconcile Decision Register docs or open a follow-up spec that explicitly builds on Spec 265, not a fresh v1 restart.
5	OperationRun Link/Execution Truth Readiness	ready	operation_runs schema includes workspace/environment/user/type/status/outcome/context and run identity fields; OperationRunLinks and OperationRunUrl centralize run URLs; Specs 301-304 validation included dashboard drill-through and high-signal link checks.	No blocker for read/link productization. New run-producing features still need normal OperationRun start UX review.	Reuse central OperationRun link/start contracts for any future run-producing work.
6	Evidence/StoredReport Artifact Truth Readiness	ready with caveat	evidence_snapshots, evidence_snapshot_items, finding_exception_evidence_references, and stored_reports schemas are workspace/environment scoped; EvidenceSnapshot and StoredReport resources exist; artifact/deep-link tests exist.	Artifact lifecycle, retention, export semantics, and customer-facing disclosure should not be assumed beyond current repo truth.	Use existing artifact links as evidence truth. Split lifecycle/export/retention productization into its own spec if needed.
7	Findings/Risk Acceptance Readiness	ready	Finding and FindingException resources exist; finding_exceptions and finding_exception_decisions support current decision state; Decision Register builder derives rows from FindingException decisions; findings/decision navigation and boundary tests exist.	No blocker for using findings/risk acceptance as existing foundation.	Next feature may build on existing risk acceptance truth, but should not duplicate Spec 265.
8	Review/Review Pack Readiness	ready with caveat	EnvironmentReview, CustomerReviewWorkspace, ReviewRegister, ReviewPack, and review-pack schemas/resources/tests exist; review pack rows carry workspace/environment, operation run, evidence snapshot, environment review, file metadata, and checksum fields.	Current readiness is strong for linking and evidence packaging; broader approval workflow semantics are not proven by this audit.	Treat reviews/review packs as supporting evidence surfaces unless the next spec explicitly changes approval workflow behavior.
9	RBAC/Capability Readiness	ready	Capabilities, capability resolvers, policies, workspace membership checks, and 404/403 expectations are covered by existing RBAC and resource authorization tests; governance pages include access checks.	No blocker found.	Next feature must declare capability requirements and preserve non-member 404 / missing-capability 403 semantics.
10	Audit/Event Readiness	ready	AuditLog model and audit recorder/logger support exist; audit tests exist for evidence, environment review, findings, and governance flows; sensitive flow specs require audit logging.	No blocker for next planning.	Any new mutation in the next feature must declare audit events and tests. This docs-only audit adds none.
11	Navigation/IA Readiness	ready with caveat	Admin panel navigation is workspace-first; environment navigation registration is guarded by NavigationScope; Specs 301 and 303 cut over Inventory and Directory/Entra Groups; Spec 304 validates retired tenant-panel links are absent.	Product queue docs are stale around Decision Register. Also, navigation readiness depends on continuing to avoid storage-object-first IA for approval flows.	Use workflow-first navigation for the next productization feature and reconcile stale docs before selecting from the product queue.
12	Test Lane Readiness	ready with caveat	Focused test families exist for Filament navigation/global search, legacy route retirement, governance inbox, Decision Register, findings, evidence, reviews, OperationRun links, RBAC, and audit. Browser smoke tests exist for Specs 301, 303, and 265.	This audit does not add tests. Validation should run focused confidence commands and record outcomes.	Run the focused validation commands in this artifact and keep browser reruns optional unless runtime UI changes occur.

Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 Gate

Fresh feature-spec decision: NO-GO for starting a new greenfield Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 spec.

Productization decision: GO WITH CONDITIONS for a follow-up or close-out path that builds on existing repo truth.

Repo evidence indicates Decision Register is not merely a future candidate:

• specs/265-decision-register-approval/ exists.
• apps/platform/app/Filament/Pages/Governance/DecisionRegister.php exists.
• apps/platform/app/Support/GovernanceDecisions/GovernanceDecisionRegisterBuilder.php exists.
• apps/platform/app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php registers the Decision Register page.
• Tests exist for Decision Register page access, authorization, builder behavior, finding exception navigation, decision summary, decision register boundaries, and browser smoke.

The blocker is not runtime readiness. The blocker is product-planning truth: a fresh v1 spec would duplicate implemented work and conflict with stale docs. The recommended action is to reconcile Spec 265 and product queue documentation first, then choose a follow-up with a precise scope, for example a close-out, approval-mutation hardening, or decision-register evidence/workflow extension.

Blocker Register

Blocker	Applies To	Recommended Action
Fresh Decision Register & Approval Workflow v1 would duplicate existing Spec 265/runtime work.	Next feature-spec selection	Do not start a fresh v1. Reconcile existing docs and either close out Spec 265 or create a follow-up spec with a narrower new scope.
Product docs drift around Decision Register implementation state.	Next feature-spec selection	Update or explicitly annotate docs/product/implementation-ledger.md and docs/product/spec-candidates.md before using them as queue truth.

No runtime blocker was found in Specs 301-304 readiness areas.

Validation Plan and Results

Focused validation passed. Browser smoke tests were not rerun because this feature is docs-only and does not change rendered surfaces, routes, assets, or runtime behavior. Existing browser smoke coverage for Specs 301, 303, and 265 remains cited as readiness evidence.

No-Change Confirmation

This audit does not change:

• Application runtime code
• Database migrations
• Factories, seeders, or fixtures
• Tests
• Filament resources/pages/widgets
• Routes
• Navigation registration
• Global search behavior
• OperationRun behavior
• RBAC/capability logic
• Audit/event behavior
• Product roadmap content

Final Gate

Overall recommendation: GO WITH CONDITIONS.

TenantPilot can proceed toward the next productization effort after Specs 301-304, but the next effort should not be a fresh Decision Register v1. The repo is ready for a bounded follow-up once stale product docs are reconciled and the follow-up explicitly builds on existing Decision Register, governance, findings, evidence, reviews, RBAC, audit, navigation, and OperationRun foundations.
