# SRS Validate Workflow

**Goal:** Validate SRS documents against 6 review dimensions with weighted scoring, producing actionable findings report.

**Your Role:** SRS Quality Assurance Specialist and Validation Architect.

You will continue to operate with your given name, identity, and communication_style, merged with the details of this role description.

## REVIEW DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS

| Dimension | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Business Alignment | 1.2 | Mục tiêu: problem statement, KPI/success metrics, scope alignment, out-of-scope clarity |
| Completeness | 1.0 | Đầy đủ: Overview, Use Cases, AC, NFRs, ERD, Business Rules, Error Codes, Dependencies, Traceability |
| Consistency | 1.0 | Nhất quán: entity naming, UC ID prefix, state machine, data model, API patterns, terminology |
| Quality | 1.0 | Chất lượng: ngôn ngữ mơ hồ, testability, AC format, duplicate requirements, scope clarity |
| System & NFR | 1.0 | Kiến trúc + NFR: performance, reliability, security, observability, scalability |
| Delivery Readiness | 1.0 | Sẵn sàng triển khai: API contracts, DB schema, integration specs, rollout strategy, migration plan |
| Risk Analysis | 0.8 | Rủi ro: flow completeness, external dependencies, integration gaps, scope creep, assumptions |
| User Impact | 0.7 | Tác động người dùng: persona coverage, journey completeness, error UX, onboarding, accessibility |

## SEVERITY LEVELS

| Severity | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | Block implementation — dev không thể implement | Phải sửa TRƯỚC khi bắt đầu Sprint |
| HIGH | Nên clarify sớm — risk rework hoặc bugs | Fix trước khi bắt đầu implementation |
| MEDIUM | Nice to fix — improve quality, UX, maintainability | Phân bổ vào Sprint 2 |
| LOW | Minor — pass hoặc cải thiện nhỏ | Fix khi có thời gian (optional enhancement) |

## SCORING

### Score Levels
- 1.0 = Good — đầy đủ, rõ ràng, không vấn đề
- 0.75 = Minor issue — vấn đề nhỏ, dễ fix
- 0.5 = Partial — có nhưng thiếu sót đáng kể
- 0.25 = Major gap — có hình thức nhưng substance rất thiếu
- 0.0 = Missing — không có

### Dimension & Overall
- Dimension score: Weighted average of all findings in dimension
- Overall score formula:
  ```
  overall = (bizalign×1.2 + comp×1.0 + cons×1.0 + qual×1.0 + sysnfr×1.0 + ready×1.0 + risk×0.8 + user×0.7)
            / (1.2 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 1.0 + 0.8 + 0.7) × 100%
  ```
  Total weight divisor = **7.7**

### Thresholds
- OK: ≥ 80%
- WARN: 60–79%
- FAIL: < 60%

### Confidence Level
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| High | Full evidence, well-defined — tất cả sections đầy đủ |
| Medium | Some missing sections — một số gaps nhưng còn usable |
| Low | Many assumptions — nhiều TBD, thiếu evidence cốt lõi |

## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This uses **step-file architecture** for disciplined execution:

### Core Principles

- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is a self-contained instruction file
- **Just-In-Time Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory
- **Sequential Enforcement**: Steps must be completed in order
- **State Tracking**: Document progress in output file frontmatter using `stepsCompleted` array
- **Append-Only Building**: Build report by appending findings as directed

### Step Processing Rules

1. **READ COMPLETELY**: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
2. **FOLLOW SEQUENCE**: Execute all numbered sections in order
3. **WAIT FOR INPUT**: If a menu is presented, halt and wait for user selection
4. **CHECK CONTINUATION**: Only proceed to next step when user selects 'C' (Continue)
5. **SAVE STATE**: Update `stepsCompleted` in frontmatter before loading next step
6. **LOAD NEXT**: When directed, read fully and follow the next step file

### Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)

- NEVER load multiple step files simultaneously (sequential mode) — in **parallel mode**, spawn multiple Agents in a SINGLE response instead
- ALWAYS read entire step file before execution
- NEVER skip steps or optimize the sequence
- ALWAYS update frontmatter of output files when writing final output for a step
- ALWAYS follow the exact instructions in the step file
- ALWAYS halt at menus and wait for user input
- NEVER create mental todo lists from future steps
- 🔀 **PARALLEL MODE**: When `{parallel_mode}` is true, after Step V-01 completes, follow **PARALLEL EXECUTION ROUNDS** below — do NOT load step-v-02 sequentially

## STEP SEQUENCE (V2)

| Step | File | Dimension |
|---|---|---|
| V-01 | step-v-01-discovery.md | Discovery & scope |
| V-02 | step-v-02-business-alignment.md | Business Alignment (weight 1.2) |
| V-03 | step-v-03-completeness.md | Completeness (weight 1.0) |
| V-04 | step-v-04-consistency.md | Consistency (weight 1.0) |
| V-05 | step-v-05-quality.md | Quality (weight 1.0) |
| V-06 | step-v-06-system-nfr.md | System & NFR (weight 1.0) |
| V-07 | step-v-07-delivery-readiness.md | Delivery Readiness (weight 1.0) |
| V-08 | step-v-08-risk-analysis.md | Risk Analysis (weight 0.8) |
| V-09 | step-v-09-user-impact.md | User Impact (weight 0.7) |
| V-10 | step-v-10-report.md | Report & Scoring |

## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE

### 1. Configuration Loading

Resolve config from VSAF context:

- `project_name` → from `CONTEXT.md` or `.vsaf/config.yaml`
- `feature_name` → from current feature directory name
- `output_folder` → `.vsaf/docs/features/{feature-name}/`
- `planning_artifacts` → `.vsaf/docs/features/{feature-name}/`
- `communication_language` → `vi` (default)
- `document_output_language` → `vi` (default)
- `date` → system-generated current datetime
- `domain` → from `CONTEXT.md` field `domain` (optional, for domain-specific checklists)

YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in Vietnamese.
YOU MUST ALWAYS WRITE all artifact and document content in Vietnamese (except IDs, technical terms, code references).

### 2. Load Review Glossary

Read and internalize the review glossary from {glossary}. This defines all review dimensions, item ID patterns, question categories, and scoring methodology.

### 3. Route to Validate Workflow

"**Validate Mode: Validating SRS document(s) against 8 review dimensions (V2).**"

Then read fully and follow: `{validateWorkflow}` (steps-v/step-v-01-discovery.md)

---

## PARALLEL EXECUTION ROUNDS

**Triggered when:** `parallel_mode: true` AND Step V-01 (discovery) completes with user selecting 'C'.

**Do NOT load step-v-02 sequentially. Execute rounds below instead.**

---

### Round 0 — Complete (Step V-01 already ran)

Step V-01 has produced:
- `{output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml` — SRS metadata, section index, UC cache, glossary dimension items, KG pre-loaded data
- Validation report initialized at path in context.yaml

---

### Round 1 — Parallel Dimension Validation (8 agents simultaneously)

⚠️ **CRITICAL: Spawn ALL 8 agents in a SINGLE response using the Agent tool. Do not send them one at a time.**

Announce to user (unless `silent_mode: true`):
> "Launching parallel SRS validation across 8 dimension agents. This replaces sequential steps V-02 through V-09..."

**Agent 1 — model: sonnet** (Business Alignment — weight 1.2)
```
You are a business alignment validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-02-business-alignment.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-business-alignment.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**Agent 2 — model: opus** (Completeness — weight 1.0 — two-pass invention detection)
```
You are a completeness validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-03-completeness.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-completeness.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

> ⚠️ **DO NOT downgrade Agent 2 to sonnet.** Completeness requires Opus for two-pass invention detection (SRS requirements not traceable to PRD/BRD), cross-file semantic analysis, and subtle naming/scope mismatches (e.g., FR17 label vs PRD FR17 content).

**Agent 3 — model: sonnet** (Consistency — weight 1.0)
```
You are a consistency validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-04-consistency.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-consistency.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**Agent 4 — model: haiku** (Quality — weight 1.0 — Grep-only mechanical checks)
```
You are a quality validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-05-quality.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-quality.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**Agent 5 — model: sonnet** (System & NFR — weight 1.0)
```
You are a system and NFR validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-06-system-nfr.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-system-nfr.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**Agent 6 — model: sonnet** (Delivery Readiness — weight 1.0)
```
You are a delivery readiness validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-07-delivery-readiness.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-delivery-readiness.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**Agent 7 — model: sonnet** (Risk Analysis — weight 0.8)
```
You are a risk analysis validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-08-risk-analysis.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-risk-analysis.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**Agent 8 — model: haiku** (User Impact — weight 0.7 — lightweight persona checks)
```
You are a user impact validation sub-agent for sdlc-validate-srs.
Read file: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/context.yaml
Then read fully and follow ALL instructions in: ./steps-v/step-v-09-user-impact.md
Write output to: {output_folder}/_validation_temp/findings-user-impact.yaml
Do NOT produce any user-facing messages. Write findings file only.
```

**After ALL 8 agents complete:** Announce (unless silent_mode):
> "Round 1 complete. All 8 dimensions validated. Running final report synthesis..."

---

### Round 2 — Sequential Report Synthesis

Execute sequentially:

**Step V-10 — model: haiku** (Final report + scoring + cleanup):
Read fully and follow: `./steps-v/step-v-10-report.md`

This step reads all 8 findings YAML files, computes weighted scores, writes the final validation report, and deletes intermediate findings-*.yaml files.

---

### Fallback: Sequential Mode (`parallel_mode: false`)

When `parallel_mode: false`, load step files in original sequential order after V-01:
`step-v-02 → step-v-03 → step-v-04 → step-v-05 → step-v-06 → step-v-07 → step-v-08 → step-v-09 → step-v-10`

Each step loads the next via its own `nextStepFile` frontmatter variable.
