Verdict: NEEDS_REFINEMENT

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type -- Feature
  • [x] Lineage -- Standalone, discovered during docs robustness audit
  • [x] Repo -- ldraney/westside-basketball
  • [x] User Story -- present
  • [x] Context -- present, clear motivation
  • [x] File Targets -- present, files to create and reference listed
  • [x] Feature Flag -- "none" (appropriate for docs-only)
  • [x] Acceptance Criteria -- 7 items
  • [x] Test Expectations -- "No automated tests" (appropriate for docs-only)
  • [x] Constraints -- present
  • [x] Checklist -- present (omits "Tests pass" which is acceptable for docs-only)
  • [x] Related -- present

Traceability

  • [x] story:WS-S1 label -- "As superadmin, I want to deploy platform changes via IaC so that infrastructure is reproducible and auditable"
  • [x] story note verified -- found in project-westside-basketball user-stories section under Superadmin (Lucas)
  • [x] arch:docs label -- present on board item
  • [ ] arch note MISSING -- [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-docs for component docs. Search for "arch-docs" returned no results in pal-e-docs.
  • [x] Forgejo issue -- ldraney/westside-basketball#139, state: open

File Targets

  • [x] docs/security.md (to create) -- confirmed does not exist yet
  • [x] docs/keycloak.md (reference) -- verified exists (6.3k)
  • [x] docs/roles.md (reference) -- verified exists (4.3k)
  • [x] docs/stripe-subscription-architecture.md (reference) -- verified exists (5.9k)

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on ldraney/westside-basketball. All file targets are in docs/ within the same repo. Single-repo scope, no cross-repo concerns.

Dependencies

No blocking dependencies. Five sibling docs tickets share the same labels (arch:docs, story:WS-S1) and are all in backlog:
  • #1671 (issue #136) -- Docs: local dev setup guide
  • #1672 (issue #137) -- Docs: CI/CD pipeline architecture
  • #1673 (issue #138) -- Docs: testing strategy
  • #1675 (issue #140) -- Docs: observability and alerting
  • #1676 (issue #141) -- Docs: deployment and infrastructure
All are independent and can be implemented in any order. No items in in_progress block this ticket.

Acceptance Criteria

7 ACs, all verifiable by content grep on docs/security.md:
  • File existence -- trivial check
  • Authentication model (Keycloak OIDC) -- grep for keycloak/OIDC
  • Authorization (RBAC) -- grep for role/authorization
  • Stripe API key handling -- grep for stripe/API key
  • PII data handling -- grep for PII/sensitive
  • Secrets management (k8s secrets, SOPS) -- grep for secrets/SOPS
  • References platform SOPs -- ISSUE: Constraints reference sop-secrets-management and sop-network-security but neither exists in pal-e-docs. Agent cannot reference what does not exist.

Blast Radius

Zero. Documentation-only change. No code modifications, no runtime behavior changes, no downstream consumers affected.

Decomposition Assessment

  • File targets: 1 file to create, 3 files to reference -- OK (under threshold)
  • Repos: 1 -- OK (under threshold)
  • Acceptance criteria: 7 -- technically exceeds >5 threshold
  • Estimated agent work: ~3-4 minutes (read 3 reference docs, write 1 markdown file with 6 content sections)
No decomposition needed. All 7 ACs map to sections within a single markdown document. The work is a coherent single-agent pass well under 5 minutes.

Recommendations

  • [SCOPE] Create architecture note arch-docs for the docs component in pal-e-docs. This is needed for traceability -- 6 board items reference arch:docs but no backing architecture note exists.
  • [BODY] AC #7 and Constraints reference sop-secrets-management and sop-network-security which do not exist in pal-e-docs. Update to either: (a) create those SOPs first and add as a dependency, or (b) rewrite AC #7 as "Documents secrets management approach inline" and remove the platform SOP references from Constraints.
