A spec was a promise; sixteen of them had become descriptions of code that
already shipped, sitting beside four that describe work still outstanding, with
nothing in the file telling the two apart. Half the statuses were also wrong —
audio-equalizer read "Accepted" with the EQ live on both platforms, the native
video spec said the flag stays off after the default was flipped on.
The shipped designs move into docs/architecture, which is the maintained
description of the build, and the spec files go. Git history keeps the
originals; what a future change still needs is carried across:
- 01-rust-backend: favourites rewritten (the old section named a file that no
longer exists and called shipped buttons "planned"), domain vocabulary owned
by Rust (SearchScope, exclusions, the bitrate ladder), background workers
- 02-svelte-frontend: app shell and chrome, library mosaic, series/episode
navigation, downloaded browse, safe-area insets, native-video store, logging
- 03-data-flow: locally-indexed search
- 05-platform-backends: audio settings on ExoPlayer, the equalizer's band
vocabulary, native video compositing, the background-audio handoff
- 06-downloads-and-offline: one storage model, offline catalog visibility
- 09-security: path confinement and input binding
docs/specs/README.md now says what the directory is for and where each shipped
design went. Deferred work the specs recorded is kept beside the code it
concerns rather than lost: season-bounded autoplay, the two dead search
commands, why indexing is a full crawl.
requirements.md had fourteen stale statuses — Android audio parity still read
"Linux only", DR-150 still said the native-video default was off, DR-190 was
Proposed after DR-196 implemented it, and five tooling requirements were
Proposed after landing. Three unbuilt specs suggested requirement ids that have
since been allocated to other work; each now carries a warning.
Audit of the principles in CLAUDE.md and docs/architecture/ against the
actual code. Principles with a working automated check (poison-tolerant
locking, Android source sync, one-directional playback state, graceful
backend init, reachability-from-traffic) all held up. The two that drifted
are exactly the two whose checks were broken or too narrow:
- traceability-gate-repair: CI divided by hardcoded denominators
(UR/39, IR/24, DR/48, JA/3, total 114) while requirements.md had grown
to 211, reporting 158% coverage — the 50% threshold was unreachable and
the job could not fail.
- req-coverage-script-removal: check-req-coverage.sh reports
"1 requirement" and prints "all requirements have implementations".
- scoped-search-boundary-implementation: the founding boundary incident
was specced but never built; the leak is still live.
- boundary-tripwire-hardening: check:boundary passes on that same leak —
the pattern is anchored to the query site, so a named const evades it.
- player-facade-enforcement: 52 direct commands.player* call sites
outside the facade, and no automated check at all.
Each spec follows SPEC-TEMPLATE.md with a filled-in Layer assignment
table and is checked against SPEC-REVIEW-CHECKLIST.md.
