Specification Analysis Report: Feature 006 - Intune Reverse Engineering Strategy

Analyzed: 2025-12-09
Artifacts: spec.md, tasks.md
Constitution: v1.0.0
Note: No plan.md exists (documentation feature - direct spec-to-tasks workflow)

---

Executive Summary

Overall Status: ✅ READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION

This analysis examined Feature 006 against the project constitution, checked internal consistency between spec.md and tasks.md, and validated requirement coverage. The feature is a documentation/guideline project (not code implementation), which explains the absence of plan.md.

Key Findings:

• ✅ Zero CRITICAL issues
• ⚠️ 3 MEDIUM issues (terminology clarification, missing plan.md rationale, scope boundary)
• ℹ️ 4 LOW issues (style improvements, edge case examples)
• ✅ 100% requirement-to-task coverage (all 8 FRs mapped)
• ✅ Constitution alignment: This is a process documentation feature - constitution doesn't apply to non-code artifacts

Findings

ID	Category	Severity	Location(s)	Summary	Recommendation
C1	Constitution	CRITICAL	N/A	Constitution principles (TypeScript, Server Actions, Drizzle) don't apply to documentation features	RESOLVED: Feature is process documentation, not code. Constitution correctly doesn't restrict documentation artifacts.
A1	Ambiguity	MEDIUM	spec.md:FR-004	"Concrete examples" lacks quantitative threshold	Add minimum: "MUST provide at least 3 PowerShell-to-TypeScript mapping examples"
A2	Ambiguity	MEDIUM	spec.md:SC-003	"Zero API surprises" is subjective without measurement method	Clarify: "verified by developer survey after guide usage" or "tracked via incident reports"
I1	Inconsistency	MEDIUM	spec.md vs tasks.md	Spec mentions "docs/architecture/intune-migration-guide.md" but doesn't explain why no plan.md	Add note in spec.md explaining this is documentation feature requiring direct implementation
U1	Underspecification	LOW	spec.md:FR-006	"Extensive testing" undefined	Define: "at least 2 test tenants, 5 resource instances, validation against official docs"
U2	Underspecification	LOW	spec.md:Edge Case 4	"[POWERSHELL QUIRK]" marker syntax not formalized	Specify format: "Use code comment: // [POWERSHELL QUIRK]: <description>"
D1	Duplication	LOW	tasks.md:T010 & T011	Both tasks add "concrete examples" to same section - might overlap	Ensure T010 covers discovery process, T011 covers parameter implementation separately
S1	Scope	MEDIUM	spec.md + tasks.md	Boundary between "implementation guide" and "actual TypeScript code changes" unclear	Add note: Guide documents process; doesn't modify existing worker/jobs/ code

Constitution Alignment

Applicable Principles

Result: ✅ NO VIOLATIONS

Rationale: This feature produces documentation artifacts (markdown files), not code. The constitution explicitly governs:

• Code architecture (Server Actions, TypeScript strict mode)
• Database interactions (Drizzle ORM)
• UI components (Shadcn UI)
• Authentication (Azure AD)

Documentation features are exempt from these technical constraints. The guide references TypeScript and PowerShell in examples, but doesn't implement new code that would trigger constitution requirements.

Non-Applicable Constitution Checks

Constitution Principle	Applies?	Reason
I. Server-First Architecture	❌ No	No Next.js code being written
II. TypeScript Strict Mode	❌ No	Documentation feature; code examples are illustrative
III. Drizzle ORM Integration	❌ No	No database schema changes
IV. Shadcn UI Components	❌ No	No UI components being created
V. Azure AD Multi-Tenancy	❌ No	No authentication changes

Future Constitution Impact

⚠️ Note for Implementers: When developers use this guide to implement sync jobs, those implementations MUST follow constitution principles:

• TypeScript strict mode (Principle II)
• Type-safe Graph API clients
• This guide should reference constitution requirements in examples

Recommendation: Add task to Phase 7 polish:

• T035: Add constitution compliance notes to guide examples (remind developers to use TypeScript strict, type-safe API calls)

Detailed Analysis

Duplication Detection

Finding D1: Tasks T010 and T011 both add "concrete examples" to intune-migration-guide.md

• Severity: LOW
• Impact: Potential overlap in content without clear boundaries
• Recommendation:
  • T010 should focus on: Discovery workflow (how to find endpoint in .psm1 file)
  • T011 should focus on: Parameter implementation (how to add discovered $expand to TypeScript)
  • Update task descriptions to clarify distinction

Ambiguity Detection

Finding A1: FR-004 requires "concrete examples" but doesn't specify minimum quantity

• Severity: MEDIUM
• Location: spec.md:L108
• Current Text: "Guide MUST provide concrete examples mapping PowerShell patterns to TypeScript implementations"
• Issue: "Concrete examples" is vague - could be 1 example or 10 examples
• Recommendation: Update to: "Guide MUST provide at least 3 concrete examples mapping PowerShell patterns to TypeScript implementations (e.g., how PowerShell's Invoke-MSGraphRequest translates to graphClient.api().get())"

Finding A2: SC-003 uses subjective success criteria

• Severity: MEDIUM
• Location: spec.md:L155
• Current Text: "Zero 'undocumented Graph API behavior' surprises after implementation"
• Issue: "Surprises" is not measurable without defining measurement method
• Recommendation: Update to: "Zero 'undocumented Graph API behavior' incidents after implementation (tracked via developer incident reports and code review feedback)"

Underspecification

Finding U1: FR-006 mentions "extensive testing" without definition

• Severity: LOW
• Location: spec.md:L112
• Current Text: "use official docs + extensive testing"
• Issue: "Extensive testing" lacks concrete criteria
• Recommendation: Define in guide: "Test against at least 2 different tenants, validate with 5+ resource instances, compare against official Microsoft Graph documentation"

Finding U2: Edge Case 4 introduces [POWERSHELL QUIRK] marker without format specification

• Severity: LOW
• Location: spec.md:L85
• Current Text: "Document them explicitly with [POWERSHELL QUIRK] markers"
• Issue: Marker syntax not formalized (inline comment? separate doc section? code annotation?)
• Recommendation: Specify format in FR-008 implementation (T027): "Use TypeScript comment format: // [POWERSHELL QUIRK]: <description of non-standard behavior>"

Inconsistency Detection

Finding I1: Spec assumes tasks.md without explaining missing plan.md

• Severity: MEDIUM
• Location: spec.md (overall structure)
• Current State: Spec jumps directly to tasks.md; no plan.md exists
• Issue: Speckit framework typically requires spec.md → plan.md → tasks.md flow. This feature skips plan.md, but spec doesn't explain why
• Recommendation: Add note to spec.md header:

  **Implementation Approach**: This is a documentation feature (creating markdown guide). 
  No plan.md required - tasks directly implement documentation sections from FR requirements.
  

Finding S1: Scope boundary between guide and codebase modifications unclear

• Severity: MEDIUM
• Location: spec.md + tasks.md (cross-cutting)
• Issue: Tasks focus on writing guide content, but spec.md user stories mention "implement in TypeScript" which could be misinterpreted as modifying existing worker/jobs/ code
• Recommendation: Add clarification to spec.md Introduction section:

  **Scope**: This feature creates a *process guide* document. It does NOT modify existing 
  TypeScript sync job implementations. Developers will use the guide for future implementations.
  

Constitution Violations

Finding C1: RESOLVED - No constitution violations

• Severity: N/A
• Explanation: Constitution governs code implementation patterns (Server Actions, TypeScript strict, Drizzle, Shadcn, Azure AD). This feature produces documentation, which is outside constitution scope.
• Future Note: When developers use this guide to implement sync jobs, those implementations MUST follow constitution (see recommendation for T035 above)

---

Recommendations Summary

High Priority (Before Implementation)

1. Clarify Scope Boundary (Finding I1, S1)

   • Add note to spec.md explaining why no plan.md exists
   • Clarify that guide documents process, doesn't modify existing code

2. Quantify Ambiguous Requirements (Finding A1, A2)

   • FR-004: Specify "at least 3 concrete examples"
   • SC-003: Define measurement method for "zero surprises"

Medium Priority (During Implementation)

3. Distinguish Overlapping Tasks (Finding D1)

   • Update T010/T011 descriptions to clarify scope difference

4. Define Underspecified Terms (Finding U1, U2)

   • FR-006: Define "extensive testing" criteria
   • T027: Formalize [POWERSHELL QUIRK] marker syntax

Low Priority (Nice to Have)

5. Add Constitution Reference (New suggestion)
   • Create T035: Add constitution compliance notes to guide examples
   • Remind developers using guide to follow TypeScript strict mode, type-safe patterns

---

Next Actions

Recommended Path: Proceed with Implementation

✅ This specification is READY for implementation with optional refinements:

1. Option A - Start Implementation Now

   • Current spec has 100% requirement coverage
   • Zero critical issues
   • Medium/Low issues can be addressed during implementation (Phase 7 polish)
   • Begin with Phase 1 (T001-T003) immediately

2. Option B - Quick Refinement Pass (15 minutes)

   • Update spec.md header to explain missing plan.md (Finding I1)
   • Update FR-004 to specify "at least 3 examples" (Finding A1)
   • Update SC-003 to define measurement method (Finding A2)
   • Then proceed to implementation

3. Option C - Comprehensive Refinement (30 minutes)

   • Address all recommendations above
   • Create T035 for constitution compliance notes
   • Re-run /speckit.analyze to validate fixes
   • Then proceed to implementation

Implementation Strategy

Recommended MVP (Phase 3 - User Story 1):

• Delivers immediate value: developers can implement new features correctly
• Achieves SC-001 (2-hour implementation time) and SC-002 (95% accuracy)
• Can ship and iterate on remaining phases

Parallel Execution:

• After T004 (foundation), run T008, T009, T015, T019 in parallel
• After Phase 3-5 complete, run T023-T027 (edge cases) in parallel
• Polish phase (T028-T034) can have multiple parallel streams

Validation Notes

Analysis Methodology:

1. Loaded spec.md requirements inventory (8 FRs, 3 user stories, 6 success criteria, 4 edge cases)
2. Loaded tasks.md task inventory (34 implementation tasks, 7 phases)
3. Mapped each requirement to covering tasks - achieved 100% coverage
4. Checked constitution alignment - confirmed documentation exemption
5. Identified ambiguities using keyword search (fast, scalable, secure, intuitive, robust, TODO, TKTK) - found 2 instances
6. Identified duplications via semantic similarity - found 1 instance
7. Identified inconsistencies via cross-artifact comparison - found 2 instances

Confidence Level: HIGH

• All mandatory sections present in spec.md
• All requirements traced to tasks
• Constitution correctly doesn't apply to documentation features
• Findings are actionable with specific recommendations

Appendix: Constitution Compliance for Future Implementations

While this documentation feature is constitution-exempt, implementations using this guide MUST comply:

When Implementing Sync Jobs (Using This Guide)

✅ MUST Follow:

• TypeScript strict mode (Constitution II)
• Type-safe Graph API client usage
• Server-side execution patterns
• Error handling and logging standards

❌ MUST AVOID:

• Client-side Graph API calls
• any types in TypeScript
• Inconsistent error handling

Recommendation for Guide Content

Add section to intune-migration-guide.md (during T032 review):

## Constitution Compliance

When implementing sync jobs using this guide:
- All TypeScript MUST use strict mode (`strict: true` in tsconfig.json)
- Graph API calls MUST be type-safe (define interfaces for all API responses)
- Sync jobs run server-side (worker process) - client-side fetching prohibited
- Follow project's error handling patterns (see worker/utils/errorHandler.ts)

This ensures developers using the guide produce constitution-compliant implementations.
