Requirements Checklist: Spec 370 - Global Surface Information Architecture Contract v1

Purpose: Validate that Spec 370 is complete, scoped, constitution-aligned, and ready for a later docs-only implementation/review step. Created: 2026-06-10 Feature: specs/370-global-surface-information-architecture-contract/spec.md

Candidate Selection

  • CHK001 Selected candidate exists in source material: user-provided Spec 370 draft and Spec 368 Candidate A.
  • CHK002 No existing specs/370-* package was found before creation.
  • CHK003 Related completed/validated specs are context only and are not modified.
  • CHK004 Scope is the smallest viable slice: docs-only contract artifacts, no runtime UI changes.
  • CHK005 Close alternatives are deferred instead of hidden inside Spec 370.

Spec Completeness

  • CHK006 Spec has a clear problem statement and user-visible value.
  • CHK007 Spec includes functional requirements, non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria, assumptions, risks, and open questions.
  • CHK008 User stories are independently testable through artifact review.
  • CHK009 Out-of-scope boundaries explicitly exclude application code, migrations, tests, routes, UI, assets, RBAC, and OperationRun changes.
  • CHK010 No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain.

Constitution Alignment

  • CHK011 Proportionality review is included because the spec creates a review vocabulary and Markdown artifact set.
  • CHK012 The spec avoids runtime abstractions, presenters, registries, component systems, or static guards.
  • CHK013 UI-COV-001 no-impact decision is checked and explained.
  • CHK014 RBAC, workspace/tenant isolation, provider boundary, audit/evidence, and OperationRun expectations are addressed for future consumers without changing runtime behavior.
  • CHK015 Test governance explicitly states docs-only/manual review and no Pest/browser lane.

Artifact Readiness

  • CHK016 spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md exist.
  • CHK017 Required artifacts are listed in the plan and acceptance criteria.
  • CHK018 Tasks are ordered, small, verifiable, and limited to Spec 370 artifacts.
  • CHK019 Follow-up candidates are mapped separately from primary scope.
  • CHK020 Preparation can proceed without unresolved product decisions.
  • CHK023 Spec 370 IA review classes are explicitly bounded away from canonical standards and runtime ActionSurfaceType values.
  • CHK024 Target mock/example artifacts from Spec 368 Candidate A are explicitly deferred from this slice.

Review Outcome

  • CHK025 Review outcome class: acceptable-special-case because the spec is docs-only but creates cross-surface vocabulary.
  • CHK026 Workflow outcome: keep because the scope is bounded and explicitly excludes runtime implementation.
