# Next Spec Recommendation — Spec 345
**Branch**: `345-platform-productization-readiness-roadmap-reconciliation-gate`
**Date**: 2026-06-02
## Recommended next spec
- **Recommended next spec**: `Governance Inbox Final Operator Workflow` — a narrow follow-up over `specs/327-governance-inbox-decision-first-workbench-productization/`, `specs/265-decision-register-approval/`, `specs/306-decision-register-reconciliation/`, `specs/307-decision-register-evidence-operationrun-link-polish/`, and `specs/308-decision-register-summary-review-pack/`
- **Reason**: Repo truth shows that shell/scope, customer review, and evidence/review-pack foundations are already much stronger than the backlog wording suggests. The largest remaining operator-facing gap is the central decision queue itself: `/admin/governance/inbox` still needs one dominant queue-clearing posture, calmer evidence ordering, explicit next action, and stronger downstream customer-safe wording before the platform feels fully repeatable and sellable.
- **Why not the alternatives**:
- **Not Customer Review Workspace again**: that lane is already materially closed by `specs/312-*`, `specs/342-*`, `specs/343-*`, and `specs/344-*`.
- **Not Evidence & Review Pack Output Contract first**: core evidence/review-pack flow is already strong through `specs/329-*` and `specs/337-*`; the remaining evidence gap is mostly retained-artifact lifecycle clarity, not core output availability.
- **Not Provider Readiness first**: provider surfaces still need calmer trust framing, but they are already scope-safe and usable after `specs/339-*` and `specs/281-*`; the governance queue is the more central daily-use blocker.
- **Not Localization & Customer-Safe Copy first**: major localization/neutralization follow-through already exists in `specs/275-*` and `specs/286-*`; remaining work is QA/polish.
- **Not a new smoke-matrix-first spec**: targeted Browser/Feature confidence is already strong through `specs/340-*` and recent strategic Browser suites; workflow clarity is the bigger current productization issue.
- **Not Customer Portal**: repo history repeatedly rejects sneaking external-consumption work into Filament `/platform`, and the boundary still holds.
- **Preconditions**:
- keep workspace/environment shell contracts from `specs/338-*` to `specs/341-*` untouched
- treat Decision Register as the historical/proof ledger, not as the primary queue
- reuse existing finding, evidence, review, accepted-risk, and `OperationRun` links rather than creating new truth
- forbid new task-engine, Kanban, PSA, or customer-portal scope
- **Risks**:
- scope creep into a generic workboard or approval engine
- duplicating decision truth already present in Decision Register or finding/exception surfaces
- adding workflow mutation scope that should remain in existing owner surfaces
- **Acceptance target**:
- `/admin/governance/inbox` reads as the central operator queue
- one dominant next action is visible per decision item or section
- evidence basis, owner, age/SLA, and environment scope are explicit without overloading diagnostics
- links into findings, reviews, proof, runs, and historical decisions reuse current truth instead of inventing new persistence
- no portal, no new decision table, no new approval engine, and no shell rewrite are introduced
- **Follow-up sequence (next 37 specs)**:
1. `Governance Inbox Final Operator Workflow` (new follow-up over current governance runtime)
2. `specs/267-artifact-lifecycle-retention/` if retained-output trust remains the next strongest blocker after governance closure
3. `Provider Readiness / Onboarding Productization` as a narrow follow-up over `specs/339-*` and `specs/281-*`
4. runtime follow-through for `specs/278-cross-domain-indicator-audit/` if indicator drift keeps reappearing on dashboards/ops/evidence surfaces
5. retained-artifact browse/report polish only if `StoredReportResource` still feels insufficient after artifact-lifecycle work
6. later strategic work such as a first governed AI runtime consumer only after the operator platform is calmer
## Deferred Lines (explicit)
- **Customer portal line**:
- defer external customer review history, evidence download center, branded document consumption, and any external portal guidance into a future `/customerportal` roadmap
- do not pull these into Filament `/platform` as “just one more read-only page”
- **Feature-expansion line**:
- broader PSA/ITSM sync, first governed AI runtime consumer, cross-tenant portfolio expansion, and customer self-serve commercial flows stay behind the operator-platform productization sequence above
