# Specification Quality Checklist: Clean Release Compliance Subsystem Redesign

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning  
**Created**: 2026-03-09  
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)

## Content Quality

- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, file structure) drive the requirements
- [x] Focused on operator value, governance, auditability, and release workflow outcomes
- [x] Written for product/release stakeholders, not only for implementers
- [x] All mandatory sections completed

## Requirement Completeness

- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
- [x] Success criteria are measurable
- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic
- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
- [x] Edge cases are identified
- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified

## Feature Readiness

- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance intent
- [x] User scenarios cover primary lifecycle flows
- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
- [x] No blocking ambiguity remains for `/speckit.plan`
- [x] Specification is ready for `/speckit.plan` and `/speckit.tasks`

## Notes

- Architectural direction is intentional because the feature itself is a subsystem redesign rather than a small end-user capability.
- Trust model, lifecycle invariants, and immutable evidence were kept at the requirement level because they are the product value of this redesign.
