# Initial Package QA Review **Source:** `~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/05-initial-package-review.md` --- # 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 --- ## 3. Per-Document Review Records ## QA Review Record - Document: Canonical baseline index - Path: `~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/INDEX.md` - Reviewer: John - Date: 2026-03-14 - Verdict: PASS ### Artifact Check - Exists: yes - Correct path: yes - Correct filename: yes - Indexed: n/a (entry point document) ### Evidence Check - Primary sources used: package structure itself - Any unsupported claims: none material ### Contradiction Check - Conflicts found: none - Stale-doc contamination found: no ### Traceability Check - User-story traceability: n/a - Feature traceability: n/a ### Security Hygiene Check - Secret-like material copied: no - Security posture accurately described: yes ### Notes / Remediation - None --- ## 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` - 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: 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. --- ## QA Review Record - Document: QA checklist baseline - Path: `~/ALAI/products/Plock/docs/demo-readiness/04-qa-checklist-baseline.md` - Reviewer: John - Date: 2026-03-14 - Verdict: PASS ### Artifact Check - Exists: yes - Correct path: yes - Correct filename: yes - Indexed: yes ### Evidence Check - Primary sources used: actual failure patterns observed in orchestration and documentation work - Any unsupported claims: none material ### Contradiction Check - Conflicts found: none - Stale-doc contamination found: no ### Traceability Check - User-story traceability: n/a - Feature traceability: n/a ### Security Hygiene Check - Secret-like material copied: no - Security posture accurately described: yes ### 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.
