+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a Validation Architect and Quality Assurance Specialist
+- ✅ If you already have been given communication or persona patterns, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in systematic validation, not collaborative dialogue
+- ✅ You bring analytical rigor and traceability matrix expertise
+- ✅ This step runs autonomously - no user input needed
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Focus ONLY on traceability chain validation
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to validate other aspects in this step
+- 💬 Approach: Systematic chain validation and orphan detection
+- 🚪 This is a validation sequence step - auto-proceeds when complete
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Build and validate traceability matrix
+- 💾 Identify broken chains and orphan requirements
+- 📖 Append findings to validation report
+- 📖 Display "Proceeding to next check..." and load next step
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to pause or request user input
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: PRD file, validation report
+- Focus: Traceability chain validation only
+- Limits: Don't validate other aspects, don't pause for user input
+- Dependencies: Steps 2-5 completed - initial validations done
+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Attempt Sub-Process Validation
+
+**Try to use Task tool to spawn a subprocess:**
+
+"Perform traceability validation on this PRD:
+
+1. Extract content from Executive Summary (vision, goals)
+2. Extract Success Criteria
+3. Extract User Journeys (user types, flows, outcomes)
+4. Extract Functional Requirements (FRs)
+5. Extract Product Scope (in-scope items)
+
+**Validate chains:**
+- Executive Summary → Success Criteria: Does vision align with defined success?
+- Success Criteria → User Journeys: Are success criteria supported by user journeys?
+- User Journeys → Functional Requirements: Does each FR trace back to a user journey?
+- Scope → FRs: Do MVP scope FRs align with in-scope items?
+
+**Identify orphans:**
+- FRs not traceable to any user journey or business objective
+- Success criteria not supported by user journeys
+- User journeys without supporting FRs
+
+Build traceability matrix and identify broken chains and orphan FRs.
+
+Return structured findings with chain status and orphan list."
+
+### 2. Graceful Degradation (if Task tool unavailable)
+
+If Task tool unavailable, perform analysis directly:
+
+**Step 1: Extract key elements**
+- Executive Summary: Note vision, goals, objectives
+- Success Criteria: List all criteria
+- User Journeys: List user types and their flows
+- Functional Requirements: List all FRs
+- Product Scope: List in-scope items
+
+**Step 2: Validate Executive Summary → Success Criteria**
+- Does Executive Summary mention the success dimensions?
+- Are Success Criteria aligned with vision?
+- Note any misalignment
+
+**Step 3: Validate Success Criteria → User Journeys**
+- For each success criterion, is there a user journey that achieves it?
+- Note success criteria without supporting journeys
+
+**Step 4: Validate User Journeys → FRs**
+- For each user journey/flow, are there FRs that enable it?
+- List FRs with no clear user journey origin
+- Note orphan FRs (requirements without traceable source)
+
+**Step 5: Validate Scope → FR Alignment**
+- Does MVP scope align with essential FRs?
+- Are in-scope items supported by FRs?
+- Note misalignments
+
+**Step 6: Build traceability matrix**
+- Map each FR to its source (journey or business objective)
+- Note orphan FRs
+- Identify broken chains
+
+### 3. Tally Traceability Issues
+
+**Broken chains:**
+- Executive Summary → Success Criteria gaps: count
+- Success Criteria → User Journeys gaps: count
+- User Journeys → FRs gaps: count
+- Scope → FR misalignments: count
+
+**Orphan elements:**
+- Orphan FRs (no traceable source): count
+- Unsupported success criteria: count
+- User journeys without FRs: count
+
+**Total issues:** Sum of all broken chains and orphans
+
+### 4. Report Traceability Findings to Validation Report
+
+Append to validation report:
+
+```markdown
+## Traceability Validation

+**Frontend Frameworks:**
+React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Solid, Next.js, Nuxt, etc.
+
+**Backend Frameworks:**
+Express, Django, Rails, Spring, Laravel, FastAPI, etc.

+Redux, Zustand, axios, fetch, lodash, jQuery, etc.
+
+**Data Formats:**
+JSON, XML, YAML, CSV (unless capability-relevant)
+
+**For each term found in FRs/NFRs:**
+- Determine if it's capability-relevant or implementation leakage
+- Example: "API consumers can access data via REST endpoints" - API/REST is capability
+- Example: "React components fetch data using Redux" - implementation leakage
+
+**Count violations and note line numbers**
+
+### 3. Tally Implementation Leakage
+
+**By category:**
+- Frontend framework leakage: count

+
+## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
+
+**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise unless user explicitly requests a change.
+
+### 1. Load Domain Complexity Data
+
+Load and read the complete file at:
+`{domainComplexityData}` (../data/domain-complexity.csv)
+
+This CSV contains:
+- Domain classifications and complexity levels (high/medium/low)
+- Required special sections for each domain
+- Key concerns and requirements for regulated industries
+
+Internalize this data - it drives which domains require special compliance sections.
+
+### 2. Extract Domain Classification
+
+From PRD frontmatter, extract:
+- `classification.domain` - what domain is this PRD for?
+
+**If no domain classification found:**
+Treat as "general" (low complexity) and proceed to step 4
+
+### 2. Determine Domain Complexity
+
+**Low complexity domains (skip detailed checks):**
+- General
+- Consumer apps (standard e-commerce, social, productivity)
+- Content websites
+- Business tools (standard)
+
+**High complexity domains (require special sections):**
+- Healthcare / Healthtech
+- Fintech / Financial services
+- GovTech / Public sector
+- EdTech (educational records, accredited courses)
+- Legal tech
+- Other regulated domains
+
+### 3. For High-Complexity Domains: Validate Required Special Sections
+
+**Attempt subprocess validation:**
+
+"Perform domain compliance validation for {domain}:

+Based on {domain} requirements, check PRD for:

+**Healthcare:**
+- Clinical Requirements section
+- Regulatory Pathway (FDA, HIPAA, etc.)

+- Patient safety considerations
+
+**Fintech:**
+- Compliance Matrix (SOC2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, etc.)
+- Security Architecture
+- Audit Requirements
+- Fraud Prevention measures
+- Financial transaction handling
+
+**GovTech:**
+- Accessibility Standards (WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508)
+- Procurement Compliance
+- Security Clearance requirements
+- Data residency requirements
+
+**Other regulated domains:**
+- Check for domain-specific regulatory sections
+- Compliance requirements
+- Special considerations
+
+For each required section:
+- Is it present in PRD?
+- Is it adequately documented?
+- Note any gaps
+
+Return compliance matrix with presence/adequacy assessment."
+
+**Graceful degradation (if no Task tool):**
+- Manually check for required sections based on domain
+- List present sections and missing sections
+- Assess adequacy of documentation

+- Domain classification extracted correctly

+- Not checking domain classification before proceeding
+- Performing detailed checks on low complexity domains
+- For high complexity: missing required section checks
+- Not building compliance matrix
+- Not reporting findings to validation report
+- Not auto-proceeding
+
+**Master Rule:** Domain compliance is conditional. High-complexity domains require special sections - low complexity domains skip these checks.
