# Specification Quality Checklist: Transaction Management in Procedures

**Purpose**: Unit test suite for validating the quality, completeness, and clarity of the transaction management feature specification.
**Created**: 2026-05-09
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)

## Requirement Completeness

- [ ] CHK001 Are rollback behaviors defined for DDL statements executed inside procedures before a `ROLLBACK`? [Completeness, Spec §FR-004]
- [ ] CHK002 Does the spec define whether stored procedures can return a value if a `COMMIT` happens in the middle of execution? [Completeness, Spec §FR-006]
- [ ] CHK003 Are the exact parameter types and required return types for `oxibase.commit()` and `oxibase.rollback()` in Python clearly defined? [Completeness, Spec §FR-006]
- [ ] CHK004 Does the spec clarify what happens if a procedure ends with uncommitted work (i.e., implicit commit or implicit rollback on exit)? [Gap, Edge Case]

## Requirement Clarity

- [ ] CHK005 Is the "invalid transaction termination" error behavior explicitly defined for what happens to the procedure state after it is thrown? [Clarity, Spec §FR-005]
- [ ] CHK006 Is the concept of "no-op" for `begin()` and `BEGIN` quantified with an explicit definition of return state (e.g., does it return a success object or `undefined`)? [Clarity, Spec §FR-001]
- [ ] CHK007 Are the conditions under which a scripting language is allowed to call `commit()` explicitly defined (e.g. only inside procedures, not normal functions)? [Clarity, Assumption]

## Requirement Consistency

- [ ] CHK008 Do the `COMMIT` semantics align consistently between native PL/SQL blocks and JS/Python execution contexts? [Consistency, Spec §FR-005]
- [ ] CHK009 Is the behavior of a `COMMIT` followed by an immediate error consistent with the stated MVCC persistence rules? [Consistency, Spec §FR-003]

## Scenario Coverage

- [ ] CHK010 Are requirements defined for nested procedure calls where the inner procedure issues a `COMMIT`? [Coverage, Spec §Edge Cases]
- [ ] CHK011 Are requirements defined for scenarios where a transaction control statement is called within a `WHILE` loop? [Coverage, Scenarios]
- [ ] CHK012 Does the spec define recovery or cleanup paths if the `COMMIT` operation itself fails at the MVCC storage level? [Coverage, Exception Flow]

## Measurability

- [ ] CHK013 Can the "does not leak database locks" criteria be objectively measured through a specific benchmark or lock-monitoring tool? [Measurability, Spec §SC-003]
- [ ] CHK014 Is "robust MVCC commit() and rollback()" measurable or tied to existing documented constraints? [Measurability, Spec §Assumptions]

## Ambiguities & Conflicts

- [ ] CHK015 Does the assumption that `BEGIN` is a no-op conflict with any strict SQL parsing rules in the underlying engine? [Conflict, Spec §Assumptions]
- [ ] CHK016 Is "persist partial progress" defined ambiguously, or does it strictly mean visible to read-committed isolation levels? [Ambiguity, Spec §User Story 1]
