Implementation Backlog

The original design backlog, kept as a record of how the platform was specified and built. Its phases, pilot and sprints refer to that first delivery plan, not to current work. Current plans are in the roadmap and the issue tracker.

Status Initial backlog (Stage 1). Refined each sprint by the PO. Stories become Jira issues once the Jira project exists (an import script is part of E01).
Hierarchy Epic → Feature → Story → Task → Acceptance criteria
IDs E07-F02-S03 = Epic 7, Feature 2, Story 3. IDs are stable and never reused.
Priority M must (pilot-critical) · S should · C could · W won't (this release)
Phase Roadmap phase (0–11) in which the story is planned

Story template

Each story has: description (user story), value, technical requirements, dependencies, acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then or checklist), security considerations, test requirements, tasks, and story-specific DoD additions where the global DoD is not enough.

Definition of Done (global)

A story is done only when all of these hold:

  1. Code merged to main via PR with ≥ 1 review (≥ 2 for auth/, evidence/, ledger/, catalogue/, config/, security-workflows).
  2. Unit tests written. Domain-module coverage does not decrease (target ≥ 85% on domain/, evaluators/, risk/).
  3. Integration tests updated where the story touches the DB, a connector or the queue.
  4. The platform's own security pipeline is green: SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container scan, SBOM, provenance. No new high/critical findings without an approved exception.
  5. AuthZ: every new endpoint has a permission annotation and rows in the authZ test matrix (allowed and denied cases).
  6. API changes reflected in OpenAPI. Spectral lint and oasdiff clean (no unannounced breaking change).
  7. Logs contain no secrets or finding detail (redaction test passes). Audit events emitted for state-changing actions.
  8. Docs updated (user-facing, runbook if operational, ADR if a decision changed).
  9. Deployed to dev and verified by the PO against the acceptance criteria.
  10. Threat model reviewed if the story adds a trust boundary, data store, external integration or privilege.

Already done in Stage 1 (design-verification, not production code): catalogue validator/renderer (tools/catalogue/validate.py; E05-F01-S02 partially), schema DDL + security-property tests (tests/database/; E08-F05-S01 partially), application.yaml schema + template (E03-F01-S01 partially). They are marked in the epic files.
