# Specification Quality Checklist: Dual-Mode Streaming Transcription

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
**Created**: 2026-07-27
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)

## Content Quality

- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
- [x] All mandatory sections completed

## Requirement Completeness

- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
- [x] Success criteria are measurable
- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
- [x] Edge cases are identified
- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified

## Feature Readiness

- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
- [x] No implementation details leak into specification

## Notes

- Spec is ready for `/speckit-plan`. No clarifications needed — the design direction
  is well-established from the UD136 review, the T08 design note, and the interop
  experiments (6 protocol gaps documented in FR-013).
- The hypothesis-display feature (unstable text shown in-field with differentiating
  formatting) is explicitly deferred to a follow-up, per the contested UD136 review
  thread. This spec delivers the wire + server foundation only.
- Constitution compliance: Privacy/offline (V) preserved — streaming text is still
  content-free on the D-Bus publisher (state + level only); TDD (I) applies to all
  new Rust code; integration readiness (II) via the testbed and the canonical/whisper-snap
  fixture; performance watermarks (III) via RTF baselines from matrix.py.
