PLOCK — Initial Package QA Review

Date: 2026-03-14
Reviewer: John
Scope: Manual QA review of the current canonical PLOCK demo-readiness baseline package under ~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/.

1. Package Verdict

Document Quality Verdict: PASS WITH NOTES
Downstream Usage Verdict: GO for narrow documentation-truth work; NO-GO for broad implementation fan-out until remaining P0/P1 issues are addressed.

Why

The package now exists on disk, is indexed, and provides a coherent baseline for source-of-truth, user stories, features, gaps, and QA review.

However, it still carries important caveats:

  • docs/ARCHITECTURE.md remains stale/conflicting in the repo
  • docs/API-SPEC.md still requires explicit verification against code
  • infrastructure/README.md still needs security-hygiene cleanup
  • the fuller demo-readiness package is not complete yet

2. Artifact Check

Reviewed files

  • INDEX.md
  • 00-canonical-source-of-truth.md
  • 01-user-stories-baseline.md
  • 02-feature-baseline.md
  • 03-gaps-and-next-steps.md
  • 04-qa-checklist-baseline.md

Result

  • All reviewed files exist on disk
  • All are readable
  • All are located under the expected canonical path
  • docs/demo-readiness/INDEX.md links the core package correctly
  • docs/INDEX.md points to the canonical package

Artifact verdict: PASS

QA Review Record

  • Document: Canonical source of truth
  • Path: ~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/00-canonical-source-of-truth.md
  • Reviewer: John
  • Date: 2026-03-14
  • Verdict: PASS WITH NOTES

Artifact Check

  • Exists: yes
  • Correct path: yes
  • Correct filename: yes
  • Indexed: yes

Evidence Check

  • Primary sources used: repo structure, build docs, runbooks, RLS/security docs, PRD/GTM/REGULATORY docs
  • Any unsupported claims: no major unsupported claims after path correction and gap refresh

Contradiction Check

  • Conflicts found: corrected ADR path references from docs/adr/* to adr/*; refreshed outdated “missing package” statements
  • Stale-doc contamination found: no; stale architecture doc is explicitly quarantined

Traceability Check

  • User-story traceability: indirect but adequate
  • Feature traceability: indirect but adequate

Security Hygiene Check

  • Secret-like material copied: no
  • Security posture accurately described: yes

Notes / Remediation

  • Continue using this as the authority map, but refresh remaining-gap section when new canonical docs are added.

QA Review Record

  • Document: User stories baseline
  • Path: ~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/01-user-stories-baseline.md
  • Reviewer: John
  • Date: 2026-03-14
  • Verdict: PASS WITH NOTES

Artifact Check

  • Exists: yes
  • Correct path: yes
  • Correct filename: yes
  • Indexed: yes

Evidence Check

  • Primary sources used: docs/PRD.md, backend route/service structure, integrations, runbook/regulatory context
  • Any unsupported claims: some maturity labels remain approximate and should be revalidated during runtime/demo verification

Contradiction Check

  • Conflicts found: no major architecture contradictions found
  • Stale-doc contamination found: no

Traceability Check

  • User-story traceability: yes
  • Feature traceability: mostly yes; evidence is sufficient for a baseline but not yet exhaustive at section-by-section code depth

Security Hygiene Check

  • Secret-like material copied: no
  • Security posture accurately described: yes

Notes / Remediation

  • Good canonical baseline. Later passes should tighten evidence granularity and confirm AI/mobile maturity against runtime behavior, not just repo structure.

QA Review Record

  • Document: Feature baseline
  • Path: ~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/02-feature-baseline.md
  • Reviewer: John
  • Date: 2026-03-14
  • Verdict: PASS WITH NOTES

Artifact Check

  • Exists: yes
  • Correct path: yes
  • Correct filename: yes
  • Indexed: yes

Evidence Check

  • Primary sources used: routes, services, migrations, frontend MFE structure, test folders, ops/security docs
  • Any unsupported claims: a few maturity judgments remain intentionally approximate (partial, planned-to-partial) and should be revisited during deeper verification

Contradiction Check

  • Conflicts found: none material
  • Stale-doc contamination found: no

Traceability Check

  • User-story traceability: strong enough for baseline planning
  • Feature traceability: yes, with direct module/file references for most sections

Security Hygiene Check

  • Secret-like material copied: no
  • Security posture accurately described: yes

Notes / Remediation

  • Strong baseline. Future revisions should verify ops/monitoring and AI claims against live behavior before demo commitments.

QA Review Record

  • Document: Gaps and next steps
  • Path: ~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/03-gaps-and-next-steps.md

  • Date: 2026-03-14
  • Verdict: PASS WITH NOTES

Artifact Check

  • Exists: yes
  • Correct path: yes
  • Correct filename: yes
  • Indexed: yes

Evidence Check

  • Primary sources used: package state, repo findings, orchestration incident findings, doc drift findings
  • Any unsupported claims: none material after current-state refresh

Contradiction Check

  • Conflicts found: refreshed outdated statements that previously said the package and QA checklist did not exist
  • Stale-doc contamination found: no

Traceability Check

  • User-story traceability: indirect but acceptable
  • Feature traceability: indirect but acceptable

Security Hygiene Check

  • Secret-like material copied: no
  • Security posture accurately described: yes

Notes / Remediation

  • Keep this document current as additional canonical docs are created; it is time-sensitive by nature.

  • User-story traceability: n/a
  • Feature traceability: n/a

Notes / Remediation

  • This should be applied to all future additions to the package.

4. Package-Level Notes

What is now good enough

  • canonical source-of-truth layer exists
  • user stories and feature baseline exist
  • gaps/next-steps are documented
  • deterministic QA criteria now exist
  • package is discoverable via both filesystem and HiveMind

What still blocks a broad implementation wave

  • stale docs/ARCHITECTURE.md still exists in the repo and can mislead future agents
  • docs/API-SPEC.md still needs verification against code
  • infra security-hygiene issue still needs cleanup
  • fuller demo-readiness docs remain incomplete

5. Final Go / No-Go

GO

  • narrow documentation-truth work
  • narrow source-referenced QA work
  • controlled backlog preparation based on these canonical docs
  • explicit review of stale/conflicting docs

NO-GO

  • broad parallel implementation wave based on legacy docs
  • claims of demo-ready or prod-ready status without further verification
  • trusting docs/ARCHITECTURE.md as current truth
  • trusting docs/API-SPEC.md as canonical without code verification

6. Decision

The current PLOCK canonical baseline package passes manual review as a usable planning foundation, but only with explicit caveats. It is good enough to guide the next narrow, deterministic documentation and QA steps. It is not yet a license for broad implementation fan-out or readiness claims.
