- # Spec Change Detection Checklist
2
-
3
- ## Pre-Propagation Verification
4
-
5
- Verify before starting automatic propagation.
6
-
7
- ### 1. Change Documentation ✓
8
-
9
- - [ ] Change is well-documented (why changed, impact)
10
- - [ ] Old spec vs new spec available for comparison
11
- - [ ] Change type identified (breaking/feature/non-impact)
12
- - [ ] SPEC_CHANGELOG.md entry created (if not, auto-append)
13
-
14
- ### 2. Change Validity
15
-
16
- - [ ] Change is intentional (not a mistake)
17
- - [ ] Change doesn't introduce new technical debt
18
- - [ ] Change is aligned with project architecture
19
- - [ ] Change doesn't violate any contracts or constraints
20
-
21
- **If any "No"**: STOP propagation, review change with team before continuing.
22
-
23
- ---
24
-
25
- ## Change Type Classification
26
-
27
- Classify the change before propagation determines update strategy.
28
-
29
- ### BREAKING CHANGE
30
-
31
- **Indicators**:
32
- - ❌ Removed field from API response
33
- - ❌ Changed field type (number → string, optional → required)
34
- - ❌ Removed database column
35
- - ❌ Changed endpoint URL or method
36
- - ❌ Changed validation rule (stricter or behavioral change)
37
- - ❌ Renamed field
38
-
39
- **Examples**:
40
- ```diff
41
- - { "userId": 123 } → { "id": 123 } // Renamed field
42
- - { "status": "active" } → { "status": 1 } // Type changed
43
- + { "email": "required" } // Made required when optional
44
- ```
45
-
46
- **Propagation Complexity**: HIGH (manual review recommended)
47
- **Downstream Impact**: Major (all phases affected)
48
- **Time to Update**: 2-4 hours (includes design decisions)
49
-
50
- ---
51
-
52
- ### FEATURE CHANGE
53
-
54
- **Indicators**:
55

- - ✅ Added new optional parameter to function
57
- - ✅ Added new endpoint or operation
58
- - ✅ Added new validation (optional field)
59
- - ✅ Extended enum with new value
60
- - ✅ Made field optional (was required)
61
-
62
- **Examples**:
63
- ```diff

65
- + { "tags": [] } // New optional array
66
- + POST /api/users/export // New endpoint
67
- + "status" in ["active", "inactive", "archived"] // Extended enum
68
- ```
69
-
70
- **Propagation Complexity**: MEDIUM (mostly automatic)
71
- **Downstream Impact**: Moderate (Phase 2, 3, 5 affected)
72
- **Time to Update**: 30-60 minutes
73
-
74
- ---
75
-
76
- ### NON-IMPACT CHANGE
77
-
78
- **Indicators**:
79
- - 📝 Updated description/documentation
80
- - 📝 Updated example values
81
- - 📝 Formatting/styling change
82
- - 📝 Reordered fields (same data)
83
- - 📝 Updated comment (code, not logic)
84
-
85
- **Examples**:
86
- ```diff
87
- - "description": "User name" → "description": "Full name of user"
88
- - { "id": 1, "name": "John" } → { "name": "John", "id": 1 } // Reordered
89
- - 200 → 200 // Same HTTP status, just reformatted
90
- ```
91
-
92
- **Propagation Complexity**: LOW (minimal updates)
93
- **Downstream Impact**: Minimal (maybe Phase 2 only for docs)
94
- **Time to Update**: 5-10 minutes
95
-

98
- ## Affected Phase Detection Checklist
99
-
100
- Verify the right phases are identified as affected.
101
-
102
- ### Phase 2: Tests
103
- - [ ] Test mocks need updating? (breaking/feature)
104
- - [ ] Test data needs updating? (breaking/feature)
105
- - [ ] Test assertions need updating? (breaking)
106
- - [ ] Affected test file identified?
107
-
108
- ### Phase 3: Backend Implementation
109
- - [ ] API contract changes? (all types)
110
- - [ ] Response builder affected? (breaking/feature)
111
- - [ ] Request validation affected? (breaking)
112
- - [ ] Database schema affected? (breaking - migration needed)
113
- - [ ] Handler docstring needs update? (breaking)
114
-
115
- ### Phase 4: Client SDK

125
- - [ ] New scenarios for new fields? (feature)
126
-
127
- **Validation**: At least Phase 2 OR Phase 3 should be "Yes" for any change.
128
-
129
- ---
130
-
131
- ## Dependency Path Verification
132
-
133
- Confirm propagation order is correct (topological sort).
134
-
135
- ### Valid Propagation Order
136
-
137
- 1. **Phase 1**: Original spec change ✅
138
- 2. **Phase 2**: Tests updated (independent of implementation)
139
- 3. **Phase 3**: Backend implementation aligned with updated tests
140
- 4. **Phase 4**: Client SDK updated to match Phase 3 API
141
- 5. **Phase 5**: E2E tests updated to use Phase 4 SDK + Phase 3 API
142
-
143
- ### Order Validation Checklist
144
-
145
- - [ ] Phase 2 updates don't depend on Phase 3 changes (true for mocks)
146
- - [ ] Phase 3 updates use Phase 2 tests as reference
147
- - [ ] Phase 4 updates don't precede Phase 3 (SDK depends on API)
148
- - [ ] Phase 5 updates reference Phase 4 SDK + Phase 3 API
149
-
150
- **If any violated**: Stop, reorder phases before propagation.
151

154
- ## Manual Update Trigger
155
-
156
- When should manual review override automatic updates?
157
-
158
- ### Require Manual Review If...
159
-
160
- **CRITICAL TRIGGERS** (Stop propagation):
161
- - [ ] Breaking change + no clear migration path
162
- - [ ] Change affects 5+ files in Phase 3
163
- - [ ] Database migration needed (breaking + data loss risk)
164
- - [ ] API version bump needed (breaking)
165
- - [ ] SDK deprecation policy violated
166
- - [ ] Contract violates architectural constraint
167
-
168
- **RECOMMENDED REVIEW** (Proceed with caution):
169
- - [ ] Feature change affecting Phase 3 + Phase 4 together
170
- - [ ] Type system needs re-design (e.g., union type)
171
- - [ ] Performance implications (schema change, new indexes)
172
- - [ ] Security implication (new validation, encryption)
173
-
174
- **AUTOMATIC OK** (Can auto-propagate):
175
- - [ ] Optional field addition (feature)
176
- - [ ] Optional parameter addition (feature)
177
- - [ ] New endpoint (feature)
178
- - [ ] New enum value (feature)
179
- - [ ] Documentation update (non-impact)
180
-
181

182
-
183
- ## Conflict Detection Checklist
184
-
185
- Watch for conflicts during propagation.
186
-
187
- ### Potential Conflicts
188
-
189
- **Phase 2 ↔ Phase 3**:
190
- - [ ] Phase 2 mocks outdated when Phase 3 was implemented?
191
- - [ ] Phase 3 handler not aligned with Phase 2 expectations?
192
-
193
- **Phase 3 ↔ Phase 4**:
194
- - [ ] Phase 4 SDK has workarounds for Phase 3 quirks?
195
- - [ ] Backward compatibility code in Phase 4 would break?
196
-
197
- **Phase 4 ↔ Phase 5**:
198
- - [ ] Phase 5 tests rely on deprecated Phase 4 methods?
199
- - [ ] Phase 5 hardcodes values from Phase 4 SDK?
200
-
201
- **All Phases**:
202
- - [ ] Any hardcoded values in tests/implementation?
203
- - [ ] Any duplicate data definitions (brittleness)?
204
- - [ ] Any circular dependencies?
205
-
206
- **If conflicts found**: Document in CONFLICT_LOG.md, escalate for manual resolution.

+ # Spec Change Detection Checklist
2
+
3
+ ## Pre-Propagation Verification
4
+
5
+ Verify before starting automatic propagation.
6
+
7
+ ### 1. Change Documentation ✓
8
+
9
+ - [ ] Change is well-documented (why changed, impact)
10
+ - [ ] Old spec vs new spec available for comparison
11
+ - [ ] Change type identified (breaking/feature/non-impact)
12
+ - [ ] SPEC_CHANGELOG.md entry created (if not, auto-append)
13
+
14
+ ### 2. Change Validity
15
+
16
+ - [ ] Change is intentional (not a mistake)
17
+ - [ ] Change doesn't introduce new technical debt
18
+ - [ ] Change is aligned with project architecture
19
+ - [ ] Change doesn't violate any contracts or constraints
20
+
21
+ **If any "No"**: STOP propagation, review change with team before continuing.
22
+
23
+ ---
24
+
25
+ ## Change Type Classification
26
+
27
+ Classify the change before propagation determines update strategy.
28
+
29
+ ### BREAKING CHANGE
30
+
31
+ **Indicators**:
32
+ - ❌ Removed field from API response
33
+ - ❌ Changed field type (number → string, optional → required)
34
+ - ❌ Removed database column
35
+ - ❌ Changed endpoint URL or method
36
+ - ❌ Changed validation rule (stricter or behavioral change)
37
+ - ❌ Renamed field
38
+
39
+ **Examples**:
40
+ ```diff
41
+ - { "userId": 123 } → { "id": 123 } // Renamed field
42
+ - { "status": "active" } → { "status": 1 } // Type changed
43
+ + { "email": "required" } // Made required when optional
44
+ ```
45
+
46
+ **Propagation Complexity**: HIGH (manual review recommended)
47
+ **Downstream Impact**: Major (all phases affected)
48
+ **Time to Update**: 2-4 hours (includes design decisions)
49
+
50
+ ---
51
+
52
+ ### FEATURE CHANGE
53
+
54
+ **Indicators**:
55
+ - ✅ Added new optional field to API response
56
+ - ✅ Added new optional parameter to function
57
+ - ✅ Added new endpoint or operation
58
+ - ✅ Added new validation (optional field)
59
+ - ✅ Extended enum with new value
60
+ - ✅ Made field optional (was required)
61
+
62
+ **Examples**:
63
+ ```diff
64
+ + { "avatarUrl": "https://..." } // New optional field
65
+ + { "tags": [] } // New optional array
66
+ + POST /api/users/export // New endpoint
67
+ + "status" in ["active", "inactive", "archived"] // Extended enum
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ **Propagation Complexity**: MEDIUM (mostly automatic)
71
+ **Downstream Impact**: Moderate (Phase 2, 3, 5 affected)
72
+ **Time to Update**: 30-60 minutes
73
+
74
+ ---
75
+
76
+ ### NON-IMPACT CHANGE
77
+
78
+ **Indicators**:
79
+ - 📝 Updated description/documentation
80
+ - 📝 Updated example values
81
+ - 📝 Formatting/styling change
82
+ - 📝 Reordered fields (same data)
83
+ - 📝 Updated comment (code, not logic)
84
+
85
+ **Examples**:
86
+ ```diff
87
+ - "description": "User name" → "description": "Full name of user"
88
+ - { "id": 1, "name": "John" } → { "name": "John", "id": 1 } // Reordered
89
+ - 200 → 200 // Same HTTP status, just reformatted
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ **Propagation Complexity**: LOW (minimal updates)
93
+ **Downstream Impact**: Minimal (maybe Phase 2 only for docs)
94
+ **Time to Update**: 5-10 minutes
95
+

97
+
98
+ ## Affected Phase Detection Checklist
99
+
100
+ Verify the right phases are identified as affected.
101
+
102
+ ### Phase 2: Tests
103
+ - [ ] Test mocks need updating? (breaking/feature)
104
+ - [ ] Test data needs updating? (breaking/feature)
105
+ - [ ] Test assertions need updating? (breaking)
106
+ - [ ] Affected test file identified?
107
+
108
+ ### Phase 3: Backend Implementation
109
+ - [ ] API contract changes? (all types)
110
+ - [ ] Response builder affected? (breaking/feature)
111
+ - [ ] Request validation affected? (breaking)
112
+ - [ ] Database schema affected? (breaking - migration needed)
113
+ - [ ] Handler docstring needs update? (breaking)
114
+
115
+ ### Phase 4: Client SDK
116
+ - [ ] Client method signatures affected? (breaking)
117
+ - [ ] Type definitions need update? (breaking/feature)
118
+ - [ ] Serialization logic affected? (breaking)

+ - [ ] E2E scenarios need new test cases? (feature)
123
+ - [ ] E2E assertions need updating? (breaking)
124
+ - [ ] E2E data needs updating? (breaking/feature)
125
+ - [ ] New scenarios for new fields? (feature)
126
+
127
+ **Validation**: At least Phase 2 OR Phase 3 should be "Yes" for any change.
128
+
129
+ ---
130
+
131
+ ## Dependency Path Verification
132
+
133
+ Confirm propagation order is correct (topological sort).
134
+
135
+ ### Valid Propagation Order
136
+
137
+ 1. **Phase 1**: Original spec change ✅
138
+ 2. **Phase 2**: Tests updated (independent of implementation)
139
+ 3. **Phase 3**: Backend implementation aligned with updated tests
140
+ 4. **Phase 4**: Client SDK updated to match Phase 3 API
141
+ 5. **Phase 5**: E2E tests updated to use Phase 4 SDK + Phase 3 API
142
+
143
+ ### Order Validation Checklist
144
+
145
+ - [ ] Phase 2 updates don't depend on Phase 3 changes (true for mocks)
146
+ - [ ] Phase 3 updates use Phase 2 tests as reference
147
+ - [ ] Phase 4 updates don't precede Phase 3 (SDK depends on API)
148
+ - [ ] Phase 5 updates reference Phase 4 SDK + Phase 3 API
149
+
150
+ **If any violated**: Stop, reorder phases before propagation.
151
+

153
+
154
+ ## Manual Update Trigger
155
+
156
+ When should manual review override automatic updates?
157
+
158
+ ### Require Manual Review If...
159
+
160
+ **CRITICAL TRIGGERS** (Stop propagation):
161
+ - [ ] Breaking change + no clear migration path
162
+ - [ ] Change affects 5+ files in Phase 3
163
+ - [ ] Database migration needed (breaking + data loss risk)
164
+ - [ ] API version bump needed (breaking)
165
+ - [ ] SDK deprecation policy violated
166
+ - [ ] Contract violates architectural constraint
167
+
168
+ **RECOMMENDED REVIEW** (Proceed with caution):
169
+ - [ ] Feature change affecting Phase 3 + Phase 4 together
170
+ - [ ] Type system needs re-design (e.g., union type)
171
+ - [ ] Performance implications (schema change, new indexes)
172
+ - [ ] Security implication (new validation, encryption)
173
+
174
+ **AUTOMATIC OK** (Can auto-propagate):
175
+ - [ ] Optional field addition (feature)
176
+ - [ ] Optional parameter addition (feature)
177
+ - [ ] New endpoint (feature)
178
+ - [ ] New enum value (feature)
179
+ - [ ] Documentation update (non-impact)
180
+
181

182
+
183
+ ## Conflict Detection Checklist
184
+
185
+ Watch for conflicts during propagation.
186
+
187
+ ### Potential Conflicts
188
+
189
+ **Phase 2 ↔ Phase 3**:
190
+ - [ ] Phase 2 mocks outdated when Phase 3 was implemented?
191
+ - [ ] Phase 3 handler not aligned with Phase 2 expectations?
192
+
193
+ **Phase 3 ↔ Phase 4**:
194
+ - [ ] Phase 4 SDK has workarounds for Phase 3 quirks?
195
+ - [ ] Backward compatibility code in Phase 4 would break?
196
+
197
+ **Phase 4 ↔ Phase 5**:
198
+ - [ ] Phase 5 tests rely on deprecated Phase 4 methods?
199
+ - [ ] Phase 5 hardcodes values from Phase 4 SDK?
200
+
201
+ **All Phases**:
202
+ - [ ] Any hardcoded values in tests/implementation?
203
+ - [ ] Any duplicate data definitions (brittleness)?
204
+ - [ ] Any circular dependencies?
205
+
206
+ **If conflicts found**: Document in CONFLICT_LOG.md, escalate for manual resolution.
207

210
+ ## Post-Propagation Validation
211
+
212
+ After automatic updates, verify everything still works.
213
+
214
+ ### Syntax Validation
215
+
216
+ - [ ] Phase 2 test files are valid JavaScript
217
+ - [ ] Phase 3 contract files are valid JSON
218
+ - [ ] Phase 4 type files are valid TypeScript
219
+ - [ ] Phase 5 scenario files are valid Markdown
220
+
221
+ ### Semantic Validation
222
+
223
+ - [ ] Phase 2 tests make logical sense (not just syntactically valid)
224
+ - [ ] Phase 3 contract accurately describes new API
225
+ - [ ] Phase 4 types match Phase 3 contract structure
226
+ - [ ] Phase 5 scenarios reference Phase 4 SDK correctly
227
