## Findings Summary
| ID | Category | Severity | Location(s) | Summary | Recommendation |
|----|----------|----------|-------------|---------|----------------|
| A1 | Ambiguity | MEDIUM | spec.md:L27 | US1 Scenario 2 mentions "partial name match" but FR-004 only specifies "case-insensitive" matching, not partial/fuzzy matching | Clarify: either add FR for partial matching or update acceptance scenario to reflect exact (case-insensitive) matching only |
| C1 | Coverage | LOW | spec.md:FR-007 | Dynamic discovery requirement (FR-007) has no explicit task for testing dynamic behavior | Add test case in T006/T015 to verify files added at runtime are discovered |
| C2 | Coverage | LOW | spec.md:SC-004 | Success criteria SC-004 (no re-authentication) relies on existing auth mechanism - no explicit validation task | Covered implicitly by integration tests (T032), but could add explicit auth session test |
| U1 | Underspec | LOW | spec.md:L73-74 | Edge case "duplicate names" mentions "warning in logs" but no task creates logging for this case | Add logging in T010 (ProcessService.get_process) for duplicate name warning |
| U2 | Underspec | LOW | spec.md:L75-76 | Edge case "special characters" mentions name normalization but no explicit task implements normalize_name function | Implement in T005 (parser.py) or T010 (service.py) |
| I1 | Inconsistency | LOW | tasks.md:L148 | US2 dependency note says "Reuses ProcessService from US1" but US2 can technically start in parallel after foundational phase | Clarify: US2 can start in parallel but will naturally reuse ProcessService class |

## User Story Coverage
| User Story | Priority | Acceptance Scenarios | Tasks | Status |
|------------|----------|---------------------|-------|--------|
| US1 - Query Processes | P1 | 4 scenarios | T008-T014 (7 tasks) | ✅ Complete |
| US2 - List Processes | P2 | 3 scenarios | T015-T020 (6 tasks) | ✅ Complete |

## Ground-rules Alignment
| Principle | Status | Evidence |
|-----------|--------|----------|
| I. Clean Code | ✅ PASS | design.md confirms following checklist module patterns |
| II. Test-First | ✅ PASS | Tests explicitly listed before implementation in each phase |
| III. Code Review | ✅ PASS | design.md specifies PR required for merge |
| IV. Documentation | ✅ PASS | T033 updates README, docstrings noted in design |
| V. Continuous Improvement | ✅ PASS | No tech debt introduced per design.md |
**Quality Gates**:
- Pre-commit: T034 (ruff check/format)
- Pre-merge: T035 (pytest), T032 (integration tests)
- Pre-deploy: N/A (local tool)

## Unmapped Tasks
All tasks are mapped to requirements or support infrastructure:
| Task | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| T002 | Creates processes/ directory (infra) |
| T003 | Creates module directory (infra) |
| T006, T007 | Foundational tests (supports all FRs) |
| T014, T020, T030 | Example process files (demo/testing) |
| T031 | Module exports (infra) |
| T034-T036 | Quality gates (ground-rules compliance) |

| Process directory does not exist | ⚠️ Implicit | T001 validates directory |
| Very large process documents | ✅ Yes | By design (returns full content) |
| Duplicate names (case-insensitive) | ⚠️ Partial | U1: needs explicit logging task |
| Special characters in names | ⚠️ Partial | U2: normalization not explicitly tasked |

## Next Actions
### Status: ✅ READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
No CRITICAL or HIGH severity issues found. The specification is well-aligned across all three artifacts.
**Optional Improvements** (can be addressed during implementation):
1. **A1 (MEDIUM)**: Clarify partial name matching behavior in US1 Scenario 2
- Option A: Add FR for partial/fuzzy matching
- Option B: Update acceptance scenario to specify exact case-insensitive matching
2. **U1, U2 (LOW)**: During T005/T010 implementation, add:
- Logging for duplicate name warnings
- Name normalization for special characters
3. **C1, C2 (LOW)**: Consider adding explicit test cases for:
- Dynamic file discovery (add/remove files at runtime)
- Session authentication persistence
**Recommended Command**: Proceed with `/rainbow.implement` - all artifacts are consistent and ready.

## Remediation Offer
Would you like me to suggest concrete remediation edits for the MEDIUM issue (A1 - partial name matching ambiguity)?
Options:
1. Update spec.md to add FR-018 for partial/fuzzy matching
2. Update spec.md US1 Scenario 2 to clarify exact matching only
3. Leave as-is and resolve during implementation
(I will NOT apply changes automatically - awaiting your explicit approval.)
