Feature Specification: Spec 377 - Post-Productization Browser Re-Audit and Closeout Gate v1

Feature Branch: 377-post-productization-browser-reaudit-closeout-gate Created: 2026-06-13 Status: Draft / Ready for implementation preparation review Input: User-provided Spec 377 draft plus repo-verified recommendations from Specs 375 and 376.

Spec Candidate Check (mandatory - SPEC-GATE-001)

  • Problem: The UI Signal-to-Noise / Productization program has completed multiple focused follow-up specs, but the repo has no final browser-based closeout package that proves whether the main productization goals are now met.
  • Today's failure: Without a closeout audit, operators and reviewers cannot distinguish "program is done", "program is done with narrow follow-ups", and "core UI productization remains open". Previously blocked Evidence/System/Permission surfaces could also remain unverified despite Spec 376.
  • User-visible improvement: The implementation will produce a final, evidence-backed decision for the productization program, with screenshots, scorecards, guard status, fixture status, and a constrained follow-up roadmap.
  • Smallest enterprise-capable version: Read-mostly browser re-audit of the named core surfaces, comparison against Spec 368, Spec 375 guard check, Spec 376 fixture-status check, and a closeout decision artifact.
  • Explicit non-goals: No UI refactor, no route changes, no fixture creation, no migrations, no model/service/policy/job changes, no broad route crawl, no visual-regression framework, no accessibility or performance audit.
  • Permanent complexity imported: Audit artifacts, screenshots, scorecard CSVs, validation notes, and a follow-up roadmap inside this spec package only. No runtime complexity, persisted truth, status families, services, or abstractions.
  • Why now: Spec 375 installed the UI bloat guard, and Spec 376 explicitly recommends Spec 377 after closing fixture access for Evidence/System/provider-adjacent surfaces.
  • Why not local: A local note or one-off browser pass would not produce durable repo evidence, source classification, score comparison, guard status, fixture status, and an attributable closeout decision.
  • Approval class: Core Enterprise.
  • Red flags triggered: Many surfaces and scoring axes. Defense: this is an audit/closeout package, not a broad refactor or new framework; it consumes existing score semantics from Spec 368 and existing productization artifacts from Specs 370-376.
  • Score: Nutzen: 2 | Dringlichkeit: 2 | Scope: 2 | Komplexitaet: 2 | Produktnaehe: 2 | Wiederverwendung: 2 | Gesamt: 12/12
  • Decision: approve.

Problem Statement

Specs 368 and 370-376 created a UI Signal-to-Noise / Productization program with source audits, productization passes, guardrails, and fixture coverage. The repo still needs one final browser-based closeout gate that proves whether the central UI surfaces are now calmer, more decision-first, and browser-auditable, or whether the program remains open.

Business / Product Value

Spec 377 prevents a false productization claim. It gives product, engineering, and review stakeholders a durable closeout decision backed by browser evidence, scorecards, guard status, fixture status, and a bounded follow-up roadmap. This helps TenantPilot present as an enterprise SaaS rather than an admin database frontend.

Primary Users / Operators

  • Product reviewer deciding whether the UI Signal-to-Noise program can close.
  • Maintainer validating that Specs 370-376 produced the intended productization outcome.
  • MSP/operator representative reviewing whether core operator and customer/auditor surfaces are decision-first enough for sellable workflows.
  • Future implementation agent that needs a bounded audit task list without permission to refactor runtime UI.

Spec Scope Fields (mandatory)

  • Scope: canonical-view / audit-only.
  • Primary Routes: Existing /admin, /admin/..., /system, and fixture-backed browser URLs needed to inspect the surfaces listed in FR-003. The implementation must record the exact URLs tested in artifacts/browser-verification-report.md.
  • Data Ownership: No application data ownership changes. Audit artifacts are spec-owned documentation under specs/377-post-productization-browser-reaudit-closeout-gate/.
  • RBAC: Browser verification must use existing repo-approved browser/auth fixtures and must not weaken authorization. Non-member and cross-plane semantics remain unchanged. Blocked pages must be documented rather than bypassed.

For canonical-view specs:

  • Default filter behavior when tenant-context is active: The audit observes existing behavior only. Any active workspace/environment/tenant filter used for a screenshot must be recorded with the surface entry.
  • Explicit entitlement checks preventing cross-tenant leakage: Existing policies and browser fixtures remain the authority. The audit must not introduce bypass routes, test-only runtime changes, or unscoped direct access.

UI Surface Impact (mandatory - UI-COV-001)

Does this spec add, remove, rename, or materially change any reachable UI surface?

  • No UI surface impact
  • Existing page changed
  • New page/route added
  • Navigation changed
  • Filament panel/provider surface changed
  • New modal/drawer/wizard/action added
  • New table/form/state added
  • Customer-facing surface changed
  • Dangerous action changed
  • Status/evidence/review presentation changed
  • Workspace/environment context presentation changed

This spec audits existing reachable UI and writes spec-local evidence. It does not materially change the UI.

UI/Productization Coverage (mandatory when UI Surface Impact is not "No UI surface impact"; otherwise write N/A - no reachable UI surface impact plus rationale)

N/A - no reachable UI surface impact. The implementation must still create audit artifacts for the existing surfaces under artifacts/, but no route inventory, design coverage matrix, page report, or unresolved-page artifact is changed unless the implementation first updates this spec and plan.

Cross-Cutting / Shared Pattern Reuse (mandatory when the feature touches notifications, status messaging, action links, header actions, dashboard signals/cards, alerts, navigation entry points, evidence/report viewers, or any other existing shared operator interaction family; otherwise write N/A - no shared interaction family touched)

  • Cross-cutting feature?: no runtime cross-cutting change.
  • Interaction class(es): existing reports/evidence/view surfaces are audited only.
  • Systems touched: Spec artifacts only.
  • Existing pattern(s) to extend: Spec 368 scoring model, Spec 370 surface contract, Spec 375 guard reporting, Spec 376 fixture reporting.
  • Shared contract / presenter / builder / renderer to reuse: N/A - no runtime code.
  • Why the existing shared path is sufficient or insufficient: Existing artifacts are sufficient inputs for a report-only closeout gate.
  • Allowed deviation and why: none.
  • Consistency impact: Scoring, severity, verification classes, and closeout status must stay consistent across the generated artifacts.
  • Review focus: Confirm no runtime shared UI path is edited and all claims are evidence-classified.
  • Touches OperationRun start/completion/link UX?: no.
  • Shared OperationRun UX contract/layer reused: N/A.
  • Delegated start/completion UX behaviors: N/A.
  • Local surface-owned behavior that remains: N/A.
  • Queued DB-notification policy: N/A.
  • Terminal notification path: N/A.
  • Exception required?: none.

The OperationRun detail view is an audit target only.

Provider Boundary / Platform Core Check (mandatory when the feature changes shared provider/platform seams, identity scope, governed-subject taxonomy, compare strategy selection, provider connection descriptors, or operator vocabulary that may leak provider-specific semantics into platform-core truth; otherwise write N/A - no shared provider/platform boundary touched)

  • Shared provider/platform boundary touched?: no runtime seam change.
  • Boundary classification: N/A.
  • Seams affected: Existing Provider Connections and Required Permissions surfaces are audited only.
  • Neutral platform terms preserved or introduced: Existing terms are observed; no new runtime vocabulary is introduced.
  • Provider-specific semantics retained and why: N/A.
  • Why this does not deepen provider coupling accidentally: No code, labels, routes, contracts, persistence, or UI vocabulary are changed.
  • Follow-up path: If provider-readiness or permission surfaces still fail closeout targets, record a separate follow-up in artifacts/follow-up-roadmap.md.

UI / Surface Guardrail Impact (mandatory when operator-facing surfaces are changed; otherwise write N/A)

N/A - no operator-facing surface change. This spec is a guardrail evaluation and evidence package. It audits existing operator/customer/system surfaces and must not create runtime UI drift.

Decision-First Surface Role (mandatory when operator-facing surfaces are changed)

N/A - no operator-facing surface change. The implementation must score existing surfaces against the decision-first/productization expectations from Specs 368 and 370.

Audience-Aware Disclosure (mandatory when operator-facing surfaces are changed)

N/A - no operator-facing surface change. Customer/auditor surfaces remain strict audit targets; any unsafe default-visible content becomes a finding, not an in-scope fix.

UI/UX Surface Classification (mandatory when operator-facing surfaces are changed)

N/A - no operator-facing surface change. Surface classification is consumed from existing UI audit artifacts and recorded in the scorecard.

Operator Surface Contract (mandatory when operator-facing surfaces are changed)

N/A - no new or materially refactored operator-facing page. The audit must compare existing pages against the applicable surface contracts from prior specs.

Proportionality Review (mandatory when structural complexity is introduced)

  • New source of truth?: no runtime or persisted source of truth.
  • New persisted entity/table/artifact?: no application entity/table; yes, spec-local audit artifacts that are historical evidence for this closeout.
  • New abstraction?: no.
  • New enum/state/reason family?: no runtime family. Verification classes and closeout statuses are report-only labels derived from the user-provided draft and prior audit language.
  • New cross-domain UI framework/taxonomy?: no.
  • Current operator problem: Productization closeout is currently unverifiable and could falsely appear complete or remain open indefinitely.
  • Existing structure is insufficient because: Specs 370-376 each prove local slices; none creates the final before/after, guard/fixture, score, and closeout decision package.
  • Narrowest correct implementation: A read-mostly browser audit with spec-local CSV/Markdown/screenshot artifacts and no application code changes.
  • Ownership cost: One browser lane execution plus durable audit artifacts. No recurring runtime maintenance unless follow-up specs are explicitly selected later.
  • Alternative intentionally rejected: More productization refactors, fixture work, or guard expansion before a final audit. Those would hide whether the already planned program is closeable.
  • Release truth: Current-release truth; this determines whether the UI Signal-to-Noise program can close.

Compatibility posture

This feature assumes a pre-production environment. Backward compatibility, legacy aliases, migration shims, historical fixtures, and compatibility-specific tests are out of scope.

Testing / Lane / Runtime Impact (mandatory for runtime behavior changes)

  • Test purpose / classification: Browser and Heavy-Governance for audit proof; N/A for runtime behavior changes.
  • Validation lane(s): browser, heavy-governance/reporting, shell validation.
  • Why this classification and these lanes are sufficient: The feature's value is browser-observed productization evidence and guard/fixture status, not unit behavior or application mutation.
  • New or expanded test families: none required. Existing browser smokes and Spec 375 guard may be run when available.
  • Fixture / helper cost impact: must reuse existing fixtures from Specs 371-376. No new fixtures unless this spec is updated.
  • Heavy-family visibility / justification: The browser cost is the feature itself and is explicit in the spec name, tasks, and validation report.
  • Special surface test profile: manual-smoke / browser closeout audit.
  • Standard-native relief or required special coverage: N/A - audit-only.
  • Reviewer handoff: Reviewers must confirm that browser evidence exists, blocked states are exact, no runtime files changed, score/closeout claims are evidence-classified, and no completed specs were rewritten.
  • Budget / baseline / trend impact: Browser lane cost only during closeout. No recurring CI broadening unless the follow-up roadmap separately proposes it.
  • Escalation needed: document-in-feature for closeout limitations; follow-up-spec only for remaining productization or fixture gaps.
  • Active feature PR close-out entry: Smoke Coverage / Guardrail / Fixture Coverage.
  • Planned validation commands:
    • git status --short --branch
    • git diff --name-only
    • git diff --stat
    • git rev-parse --short HEAD
    • git diff --check
    • Run Spec 375 guard in warn mode if repo-available.
    • Browser verify the required surfaces at 1440x1000 and capture screenshots.
    • Run targeted existing browser smoke filters only if cheap and already present.

User Scenarios & Testing (mandatory)

User Story 1 - Establish closeout readiness from source artifacts (Priority: P1)

As a product reviewer, I want Specs 368 and 370-376 summarized with artifact availability and missing evidence, so that the final audit starts from repo truth instead of assumptions.

Why this priority: Without source readiness, the closeout decision could claim unavailable or stale proof.

Independent Test: Read artifacts/source-program-summary.md and verify each required predecessor spec is classified as available, not available, completed context, or blocker.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given the repo contains Specs 368 and 370-376, When the source summary is generated, Then it lists materialized artifacts, missing artifacts, browser evidence, guard status inputs, and fixture coverage inputs.
  2. Given a required predecessor artifact is missing, When the source summary is generated, Then it records not available and constrains the closeout decision instead of inventing proof.

User Story 2 - Browser re-audit core productization surfaces (Priority: P1)

As a product reviewer, I want the required operator, customer/auditor, diagnostic, provider, evidence, permission, and system surfaces browser-opened and screenshot-captured, so that productization quality is judged from the current UI.

Why this priority: Browser evidence is the main proof this closeout gate provides.

Independent Test: Open artifacts/browser-verification-report.md, artifacts/screenshot-index.md, and the screenshot directory, then verify each required surface is reachable with a screenshot or blocked with an exact reason.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given a required surface is reachable, When the audit runs, Then a screenshot is captured under artifacts/screenshots/ and the report records URL, viewport, fixture/auth source, and notes.
  2. Given a required surface is blocked, When the audit runs, Then the report records the exact blocked reason, a blocked screenshot if possible, and no fabricated score.

User Story 3 - Score and decide program closeout (Priority: P2)

As a product owner, I want scorecards, before/after comparison, guard status, fixture status, and a final closeout decision, so that the UI Signal-to-Noise program can be closed or kept open with clear evidence.

Why this priority: The program decision is the outcome of the spec.

Independent Test: Inspect surface-re-audit-scorecard.csv, before-after-score-comparison.csv, guard-status-report.md, fixture-coverage-status.md, and closeout-decision.md.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given all reachable core surfaces meet closeout targets with no blocking P0/P1 findings, When the decision is written, Then closed is allowed.
  2. Given core goals are met but some non-core surfaces, manual-review guard warnings, or fixture limitations remain, When the decision is written, Then closed-with-follow-up is used with exact follow-ups.
  3. Given any reachable core P1, customer/auditor safety P1, P0, unavailable guard, or undocumented blocked critical surface remains, When the decision is written, Then open or a constrained closed-with-follow-up is used according to the decision rules.

User Story 4 - Preserve no-refactor discipline and produce follow-up roadmap (Priority: P3)

As a maintainer, I want remaining gaps recorded as separate follow-up candidates without runtime changes, so that a closeout audit does not silently become another refactor pass.

Why this priority: The program can only close cleanly if audit findings are separated from implementation work.

Independent Test: Verify artifacts/validation-report.md, artifacts/remaining-findings.md, and artifacts/follow-up-roadmap.md exist, runtime files are unchanged, and every remaining issue has a closeout impact.

Acceptance Scenarios:

  1. Given the audit finds UI bloat or productization drift, When the implementation records findings, Then no application code is changed and follow-ups are separated by must-fix, separate roadmap follow-up, optional polish, and not needed.
  2. Given validation runs, When the final report is written, Then it records branch, HEAD, dirty state before/after, commands, browser results, guard result, runtime-file status, limitations, and recommended next step.

Edge Cases

  • A predecessor artifact listed by the draft is missing or renamed.
  • The app or browser harness is unavailable.
  • Authentication or fixture setup allows some admin surfaces but not system surfaces.
  • A surface is reachable but has stale or missing seed data.
  • Spec 375 guard is absent, renamed, or fails in warn mode.
  • Spec 376 fixture coverage exists but a formerly blocked surface remains inaccessible.
  • Scorecard averages improve while a single customer/auditor P1 remains.
  • A browser route displays a page but with JS console/runtime errors.
  • A screenshot can be captured but the surface cannot be honestly scored.

  • AUD-002: closeout-decision.md must state the rationale, targets met, targets missed, P0/P1 findings, blocked surfaces, guard status, fixture coverage status, remaining follow-ups, and recommendation.
  • AUD-003: Every finding must state closeout impact so reviewers can see whether the program is closed, closed with follow-ups, or open.

Data / Truth-Source Requirements

Out of Scope

  • Runtime UI refactors.
  • New UX patterns or redesigns.
  • New product features.
  • Models, migrations, services, jobs, policies, commands, routes, views, Filament resources, Livewire components, or tests, except a tiny report/test-harness correction only after explicit spec/plan update.
  • New auth flows or browser fixtures.
  • System/Evidence fixture creation if Spec 376 did not already provide it.
  • Full 100+ route re-audit.
  • Pixel-level screenshot diffing.
  • Accessibility audit.
  • Performance audit.
  • Broad CI strictness expansion for the UI bloat guard.

Program-Level Checks

The implementation must report:

  • Spec 370 contract compliance.
  • Spec 371 operator improvements.
  • Spec 372 customer/auditor safety.
  • Spec 373 diagnostic guidance.
  • Spec 374 diagnostic entrypoint clarity.
  • Spec 375 UI bloat guard availability and scan result.
  • Spec 376 fixture coverage result.

Required Artifacts

The implementation must create these files:

specs/377-post-productization-browser-reaudit-closeout-gate/artifacts/source-program-summary.md
specs/377-post-productization-browser-reaudit-closeout-gate/artifacts/surface-re-audit-scorecard.csv

specs/377-post-productization-browser-reaudit-closeout-gate/artifacts/screenshots/

Assumptions

  • Existing browser/auth fixtures from Specs 371-376 are sufficient for at least the core admin surfaces.
  • Spec 375 guard can be run in warn mode or an equivalent repo-real guard/test can be identified.
  • Spec 376 fixture coverage is the expected source for formerly blocked Evidence/System/Permission/Provider detail surfaces.
  • The implementation environment can open the local Laravel/Filament app with the project browser tooling.
  • No application code changes are needed to produce the audit.

Risks

  • Browser fixture instability could block some surfaces.
  • Guard command naming may differ from the candidate draft.
  • Source artifacts may be missing or use different filenames.
  • Closeout scoring could become subjective if evidence classes and score targets are not applied consistently.
  • The implementation loop could be tempted to fix UI issues instead of recording follow-ups.

Open Questions

None blocking preparation. If the browser harness or Spec 375 guard is unavailable during implementation, record the limitation and constrain the closeout decision.

Follow-up Spec Candidates

Follow-ups are intentionally not in scope until the audit proves they are still needed:

  • Provider/Permission diagnostic productization if provider-readiness or required-permission surfaces still miss target after fixture-backed audit.
  • Evidence/System fixture hardening if Spec 376 coverage remains insufficient.
  • UI bloat guard CI strictness expansion if warn-mode output is useful but not ready for enforcement.
  • Narrow productization polish for any core surface with confirmed P1/P2 closeout impact.
