# Requirements Validation Checklist: Watchtower DAP Windows Debugging
**Purpose**: Validate compliance with core functional requirements from specification
**Created**: 2025-10-17
**Feature**: [Link to spec.md](../spec.md)
## Core Requirements Compliance
### Platform Support
- [ ] REQ001 Windows-only enforcement verified across all code paths
- [ ] REQ002 All four target languages (C#, Node/TS, Python, Dart) fully supported
- [ ] REQ003 Launch debugging flow implemented and tested for each language
- [ ] REQ004 Attach debugging flow implemented and tested for each language
- [ ] REQ005 Deterministic events.poll with since/limit pagination implemented
### MCP Tool Surface
- [ ] REQ006 dap.start tool supports both launch and attach configurations
- [ ] REQ007 dap.setBreakpoints tool validates and verifies breakpoint placement
- [ ] REQ008 dap.continue, dap.pause, dap.step tools provide execution control
- [ ] REQ009 dap.returns thread enumeration for active debugging sessions
- [ ] REQ010 dap.stackTrace provides call stack with proper frame mapping
- [ ] REQ011 dap.scopes and dap.variables provide variable inspection
- [ ] REQ012 dap.evaluate supports expression evaluation in debug context
- [ ] REQ013 dap.events.poll implements cursor-based pagination
- [ ] REQ014 dap.terminate and dap.disconnect handle session cleanup idempotently
### Performance Requirements
- [ ] REQ015 TFFB ≤ 1000ms measured after adapter initialization
- [ ] REQ016 Step operations p95 ≤ 200ms for local debugging scenarios
- [ ] REQ017 Event buffers maintain performance at 100+ events/second
## Design Constraints
### Transport Architecture
- [ ] REQ018 Stdio transport implemented as default with proper framing
- [ ] REQ019 TCP transport available only for explicit attach scenarios
- [ ] REQ020 Adapter registry provides clear Windows-specific error messages
- [ ] REQ021 Adapter version pinning documented and enforced
### Event Management
- [ ] REQ022 Bounded ring buffer with configurable size limits
- [ ] REQ023 Truncation semantics for high-volume event streams
- [ ] REQ024 Event pagination via events.poll(since, limit) API
### Session Management
- [ ] REQ025 Session isolation maintained across concurrent sessions
- [ ] REQ026 Session capability negotiation handled properly
- [ ] REQ027 Session cleanup with timeout and garbage collection
## Security Requirements
### Data Protection
- [ ] REQ028 Environment variables redacted in all logging outputs
- [ ] REQ029 Command-line arguments redacted in all logging outputs
- [ ] REQ030 No arbitrary file system access beyond adapter needs
### Resource Management
- [ ] REQ031 Session quotas implemented and enforced
- [ ] REQ032 Idle session timeout with automatic cleanup
- [ ] REQ033 Memory usage monitored and bounded during long sessions
## Testing Requirements
### Unit Testing
- [ ] REQ034 All MCP tools have unit test coverage
- [ ] REQ035 Adapter integration tests for all target languages
- [ ] REQ036 Error handling and edge cases thoroughly tested
### Integration Testing
- [ ] REQ037 End-to-end debugging flow tested for each language
- [ ] REQ038 Cross-language debugging sessions validated
- [ ] REQ039 Attach scenarios tested with running processes
### Performance Testing
- [ ] REQ040 Performance benchmarks established and documented
- [ ] REQ041 Load testing for concurrent debugging sessions
- [ ] REQ042 Memory leak validation during extended sessions
## Notes
- Use `[x]` to mark completed requirements
- Document test results and measurements for performance items
- Include specific test cases that verify each requirement
- Reference relevant sections from specification document
