This commit introduces three new document types with realistic examples, comprehensive schema validation, and an analysis of DSL expressiveness.

New Document Types

  1. Vision Documents (VIS-XXX)

    • Strategic documents defining long-term goals and vision
    • Required sections: Vision Statement, Problem Statement, Goals, Stakeholders
    • Example: VIS-001 - API Management Platform vision
  2. Solution Architecture Documents (SOL-XXX)

    • Technical architecture documents describing system design
    • Section-scoped classes: ComponentSpec (COMP-XX), QualityAttribute (QA-XX)
    • References Requirements and ADRs
    • Example: SOL-001 - Rate Limiting Solution Architecture
  3. Implementation Design Documents (IMP-XXX)

    • Detailed implementation specifications
    • Section-scoped classes: APISpec (API-XX), DataModel (DM-XX)
    • References Solution Architecture and Requirements
    • Example: IMP-001 - Rate Limiter Middleware Implementation

Realistic Example Documents Created

  • VIS-001: API Management Platform (comprehensive vision document)
  • JOB-004: Protect API Resources from Abuse (jobs-to-be-done)
  • REQ-006: Distributed Rate Limiting System (requirement with 12 ACs)
  • SOL-001: Rate Limiting Solution Architecture (5 components, 5 QAs)
  • IMP-001: Rate Limiter Middleware Implementation (5 APIs, 3 data models)

These documents form a complete traceability chain: VIS-001 → JOB-004 → REQ-006 → SOL-001 → IMP-001

Comprehensive Test Suite

Added test_new_document_types.py with 45 tests covering:

  • Schema validation for all three new document types
  • File pattern matching and location validation
  • Section requirements and optional sections
  • Section-scoped class restrictions
  • Reference cardinality and validation
  • Backward compatibility with existing modules
  • Schema flexibility and extensibility

All 362 tests pass (100% success rate).

DSL Expressiveness Analysis

Created DSL_ANALYSIS.md with:

  • Detailed analysis of validator strengths and capabilities
  • Identification of 10 limitation areas
  • 15 proposed improvements with priority ranking
  • Implementation effort estimates
  • Example use cases for each improvement

Key findings:

  • ✅ Section-scoped class validation works excellently
  • ✅ Flexible cardinality supports diverse patterns
  • ✅ Pydantic-based schemas provide type safety
  • ⚠️ Content validation could be more extensible
  • ⚠️ Conditional sections not supported
  • 🚀 Template generation would boost productivity

Changes

  • spec_check/dsl/layers.py: Added VisionModule, SolutionArchitectureModule, ImplementationDesignModule with supporting SpecClass definitions
  • specs/vision/VIS-001.md: Comprehensive API management vision
  • specs/jobs/JOB-004.md: Detailed job story for API protection
  • specs/requirements/REQ-006.md: Rate limiting requirement with 12 ACs
  • specs/architecture/solutions/SOL-001.md: Solution architecture with components and quality attributes
  • specs/design/IMP-001.md: Implementation design with APIs and data models
  • tests/test_new_document_types.py: 45 tests validating new schemas
  • DSL_ANALYSIS.md: Comprehensive analysis and recommendations
  • .specignore: Exclude example documents from structure validation

This commit introduces three new document types with realistic examples,
comprehensive schema validation, and an analysis of DSL expressiveness.

- Move DSL_ANALYSIS.md to specs/notes/TN-001.md
- Format as proper technical note with metadata
- Add abstract, table of contents, and structured sections
- Maintain all original content and recommendations
- Follow project documentation standards
- Add TN-001.md to .specignore (analysis document, not testable spec)

The technical note now follows the same format as other specification
documents with proper metadata (Type, Date, Author, Status) and
organized sections for better readability and discoverability.

- Add TechnicalNoteModule to spec_check/dsl/layers.py
- Define required sections: Abstract, Background, Conclusion
- Support optional Table of Contents section
- Enable references to Requirements, Jobs, and ADRs
- Register TechnicalNote in LAYER_MODULES
- Add comprehensive tests for TechnicalNoteModule (10 new tests)
- Update parametrized tests to include TechnicalNote
- Add TN-001.md to .specignore (example document)
- All 372 tests pass (up from 362)

Technical notes (TN-XXX) are now validated like other specification
documents. They can reference other documents and have structured
sections enforced by the schema validator. This enables proper
traceability and validation for analysis documents.

Example: specs/notes/TN-001.md validates successfully with:
- TN-001 identifier in title
- Required Abstract, Background, Conclusion sections
- Optional Table of Contents
- Can reference REQ-005, JOB-004, etc.

…ucture linter

Changed pre-commit hook messaging to emphasize fixing issues rather
than bypassing validation. The --no-verify suggestion was misleading
since PRs will fail CI regardless of local hook bypass.

Also fixed structure linter to respect .specignore patterns, preventing
validation errors for example spec documents.

Hook changes:
- Updated hook header to clarify that checks mirror CI
- Removed --no-verify suggestion from failure messages
- Added guidance to fix issues and debug specific failures
- Updated session-start hook to reinforce CI requirements

Structure linter changes:
- Added .specignore pattern loading using pathspec library
- Filter spec files against .specignore patterns before validation
- Maintains backward compatibility with hardcoded exclusions

Technical note changes:
- Moved TN-001.md to docs/analysis/ as it's an analysis document
- Updated TechnicalNoteModule schema with common optional sections
- Fixed .specignore comments to reflect new location
