Verdict: NEEDS_REFINEMENT

Template Completeness (Phase Note)

  • [x] Goal — codify SvelteKit-on-Pal-E paradigm + expand Capacitor SOP
  • [x] Owner — Betty Sue (documentation, no code)
  • [x] Repo — pal-e-docs (knowledge, no code)
  • [x] Depends on — None
  • [x] Scope — 2 deliverables clearly defined
  • [x] Notes to Create/Update — explicit list of 3 notes
  • [x] Related — links to parent plan and related conventions
  • [ ] Acceptance Criteria — missing. Phase note has no AC section. How does the agent know when deliverables are "done"?

Traceability

  • [ ] story:X label — missing. Board item #286 has labels type:doc,scope:docs,scope:capacitor,scope:mobile-pipeline but no story label. Documentation work — could be story:superuser-onboard-service or a new doc story.
  • [ ] arch:X label — missing. Should be arch:sveltekit or arch:capacitor.
  • [x] Phase note — phase-pal-e-platform-29-sveltekit-convention, exists in pal-e-docs
  • [ ] No Forgejo issue — phases use phase notes, not Forgejo issues. Acceptable for phase items.

File Targets (pal-e-docs notes, not filesystem)

  • Deliverable 1: convention-sveltekit-spa
  • [x] ALREADY EXISTS — convention-sveltekit-spa was created 2026-03-27 with status "active". It covers: stack, build configuration, authentication (keycloak-js + PKCE + Capacitor platform detection), data fetching (API wrapper pattern), routing (auth guards), CSS, Dockerfile, nginx.conf, Keycloak redirect URI checklist, and anti-patterns. This deliverable appears COMPLETE.
  • Deliverable 1b: Fill sveltekit-spa-configuration on project-capacitor-mobile
  • [x] ALREADY FILLED — The sveltekit-spa-configuration section on project-capacitor-mobile contains a summary table with 8 rows covering adapter, SSR, bundleStrategy, auth, data fetching, CSS, Dockerfile, and env vars. It references convention-sveltekit-spa for full details. This deliverable appears COMPLETE.
  • Deliverable 2: Capacitor SOP Stages 5-6
  • [ ] NOT YET DONE — sop-capacitor-mobile-lifecycle TOC shows Stages 1-4 only. No Stage 5 (iOS Build Pipeline) or Stage 6 (App Store Submission). This deliverable is still outstanding.

Repo Placement

Correct — this is a documentation phase. All work is in pal-e-docs notes, not code repos.

Dependencies

  • Phase note says "Depends on: None" — correct for Deliverable 1 (convention note) and Deliverable 2 (SOP stages).
  • However, Stages 5-6 content (iOS Build Pipeline, App Store Submission) depends on knowledge from Phase 30 (Mac CI Agent) which is blocked by Apple Developer enrollment. The SOP stages can be written speculatively, but acceptance verification requires the pipeline to actually exist.

Acceptance Criteria

No AC section in the phase note. Recommended AC:
  • convention-sveltekit-spa exists with status "active" — DONE
  • project-capacitor-mobile sveltekit-spa-configuration section filled — DONE
  • sop-capacitor-mobile-lifecycle contains Stage 5 and Stage 6 — NOT DONE

Blast Radius

Low — documentation only. No code changes, no deployment risk. The convention note is already active and referenced by other notes.

Decomposition Assessment

2 of 3 deliverables already complete. Remaining work (Stage 5-6 in SOP) is a single-note update — fits in one agent pass.

Recommendation

  • Acknowledge completed work — Deliverables 1 and 1b are done. Update the phase note to reflect this.
  • Scope remaining work — only Deliverable 2 (Stages 5-6 in sop-capacitor-mobile-lifecycle) remains. This is a single agent pass.
  • Add acceptance criteria — the phase note needs an AC section to be agent-executable.
  • Add traceability labels — add arch:sveltekit or arch:capacitor to board item #286.
  • Consider partial close — if the remaining SOP work is blocked by Apple Developer enrollment knowledge, this phase could be split: close Deliverable 1 as done, track Stage 5-6 separately.
