# Specification Quality Checklist: Telemetry Storage Requirements

**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
**Created**: 2026-05-24
**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)

## Requirement Completeness
- [ ] CHK001 Are the fallback behaviors for parsing/extracting missing or invalid Trace Contexts defined? [Completeness, Gap]
- [ ] CHK002 Are the OpenTelemetry-compliant column types explicitly mapped to the database's internal types (e.g., `duration_ms` precision)? [Completeness, Spec §7]
- [ ] CHK003 Are the schema definitions complete for edge cases like excessively long traces or attribute JSON string overflows? [Edge Case Coverage, Gap]

## Requirement Clarity
- [ ] CHK004 Is the "schema update" mechanism clearly specified (e.g., `ALTER TABLE` vs drop/recreate)? [Clarity, Spec §FR-001]
- [ ] CHK005 Is the threshold for "measurable latency" in the logging path objectively quantified? [Clarity, Spec §NFR-001]

## Requirement Consistency
- [ ] CHK006 Is the storage format for `attributes` and `events` (JSON) consistent with other internal system table JSON formats? [Consistency, Spec §7]
- [ ] CHK007 Do the metric table fields align directly with the OpenTelemetry metrics data model specification (e.g., handling exemplars or multiple data points)? [Consistency, Spec §7]

## Scenario Coverage
- [ ] CHK008 Is there a requirement addressing how logs are handled if the `system.logs` table migration fails during startup? [Coverage, Exception Flow]
- [ ] CHK009 Are requirements defined for initializing the database strictly in a read-only mode where schema creation might fail? [Coverage, Edge Case]
