Specification Quality Checklist: Fix UI State Bugs on Browser Refresh

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-05-15 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
  • Focused on user value and business needs
  • Written for non-technical stakeholders
  • All mandatory sections completed

Requirement Completeness

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

Feature Readiness

  • All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
  • User scenarios cover primary flows
  • Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
  • No implementation details leak into specification

Notes

  • Spec describes two related refresh-time bugs (duplicate autonomous tab and unwanted Read-Only Audit Mode) as a single bug-fix feature.
  • The spec deliberately avoids prescribing implementation details (no mention of specific stores, persistence libraries, or merge functions). It does mention the existing "Read-Only Audit Mode" banner and the admin_audit read-only reason as fixed UX terminology so requirements are unambiguous.
  • The Background section is informational only and clearly labeled as such; the mandatory sections (User Scenarios & Testing, Requirements, Success Criteria) follow the template structure.
  • No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers were necessary — the user description was specific enough, and reasonable defaults are documented in Assumptions.
  • Items marked incomplete (none) would require spec updates before /speckit.clarify or /speckit.plan.
