Specification Quality Checklist: Optional standalone runtime

Purpose: Validate specification quality before planning. Created: 2026-10-13 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

• [x] No implementation choices beyond user-specified technology constraints.
• [x] Focused on user value and business needs.
• [x] User journeys are understandable without engine internals.
• [x] All mandatory template sections are complete.

Requirement Completeness

• [x] No unresolved clarification markers remain.
• [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous.
• [x] Success criteria are measurable.
• [x] Success criteria describe observable outcomes rather than internal design.
• [x] Every story has acceptance scenarios.
• [x] Edge cases include failure, recovery, concurrency, and stale eligibility.
• [x] Scope and exclusions are explicit.
• [x] Dependencies/assumptions distinguish build time from runtime.

Feature Readiness

• [x] Functional requirements map to acceptance scenarios/success criteria.
• [x] Journeys cover startup, campsite monitoring, and both deployment modes.
• [x] Outcomes are specified; implementation verification remains pending.
• [x] Storage/engine mechanics belong to design artifacts, not user journeys.

Clarification review

No questions asked; 16/16 quality criteria pass after refinement. Functional scope, entities/lifecycles, UX/errors, measurable quality, integrations, edge cases, constraints, terminology, and completion signals are clear. Technical choices are resolved by research/contracts. No user answers or approval are invented.

Checks mean specification quality, not completed application behavior.
