# Phase 13: Feature Flag Verification — Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** All backends compile independently and in combination under their respective feature flags, with no cross-contamination between feature-gated code

**Verified:** 2026-02-24T07:00:00Z
**Status:** passed
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | The crate compiles with no feature flags (default: InMemoryBackend only) | VERIFIED | `#[cfg(feature = "dynamodb")]`/`redis` guards confirmed in store/mod.rs and lib.rs. Doc-links for feature-gated types converted to plain backtick text, removing the sole source of doc-build failures under no-features. |
| 2 | The crate compiles with only dynamodb enabled (InMemory + DynamoDB) | VERIFIED | Feature-gated module declarations and re-exports confirmed correct. No cross-contamination: redis module absent when only dynamodb enabled. |
| 3 | The crate compiles with only redis enabled (InMemory + Redis) | VERIFIED | Mirror of above for redis. Symmetric guards confirmed in Cargo.toml features section and store/mod.rs lines 42-43. |
| 4 | The crate compiles with both dynamodb and redis enabled (all backends) | VERIFIED | All four combinations covered by the verified Makefile target. No cross-crate doc-links remain that break under any combination. |
| 5 | cargo doc generates clean documentation with no broken links for all 4 feature combinations | VERIFIED | All 7 broken doc-links fixed: DynamoDbBackend and RedisBackend converted to plain backtick text (store/mod.rs lines 26-28); SequentialWorkflow and WorkflowStep converted to plain backtick (workflow.rs line 3, line 160); GenericTaskStore references use full crate path crate::store::generic::GenericTaskStore (store/mod.rs lines 11, 197); WorkflowProgress and WORKFLOW_PROGRESS_KEY use full crate paths in router.rs (lines 317-318). |
| 6 | A Makefile target exists to verify all 4 feature flag combinations | VERIFIED | `test-feature-flags` target at Makefile line 277, declared `.PHONY` at line 277, listed in help output at line 747. Runs 5 checks per combination (check, clippy, test --no-run, test --doc, RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc) = 20 total verifications across 4 combos. |
| 7 | CI runs feature-flag isolation checks on every push/PR | VERIFIED | `feature-flags` job in .github/workflows/ci.yml at line 171, with `on: push/pull_request: branches: [main]`. Uses dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable with clippy component, actions/cache@v5, runs `make test-feature-flags`. |

**Score:** 7/7 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `crates/pmcp-tasks/src/store/mod.rs` | Clean doc-links regardless of enabled features | VERIFIED | DynamoDbBackend and RedisBackend converted to plain backtick (no link target). GenericTaskStore references now use full `crate::store::generic::GenericTaskStore` path at lines 11 and 197. Feature-gated module declarations at lines 38-43 unchanged and correct. |
| `crates/pmcp-tasks/src/types/workflow.rs` | Fixed cross-crate doc-links (no references to pmcp parent crate types) | VERIFIED | Line 3: `SequentialWorkflow` is plain backtick text, no link resolution. Line 160: `WorkflowStep` is plain backtick text, no link resolution. Contains `WorkflowProgress` struct (substantive, ~200 lines). |
| `crates/pmcp-tasks/src/router.rs` | Fixed cross-crate doc-links for WorkflowProgress and WORKFLOW_PROGRESS_KEY | VERIFIED | Lines 317-318: Both use full crate paths `[WorkflowProgress](crate::types::workflow::WorkflowProgress)` and `[WORKFLOW_PROGRESS_KEY](crate::types::workflow::WORKFLOW_PROGRESS_KEY)`. File is substantive (900+ lines). |
| `Makefile` | test-feature-flags target for 4-combination verification | VERIFIED | Target at lines 277-310. Covers all 4 combinations (no-default-features, --features dynamodb, --features redis, --features "dynamodb,redis"). Each combination runs: cargo check, cargo clippy -- -D warnings, cargo test --no-run, cargo test --doc, RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps. Listed in .PHONY and help output. |
| `.github/workflows/ci.yml` | Feature flag matrix CI job | VERIFIED | `feature-flags` job at line 171. Triggers on push/PR to main. Uses actions/checkout@v6, dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable (components: clippy), actions/cache@v5 with feature-flags-specific cache key, runs `make test-feature-flags`. No unnecessary tooling (no llvm-cov, no disk cleanup, no nextest). |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| Makefile test-feature-flags | cargo check/clippy/test per feature combination | shell commands for 4 combinations | WIRED | Pattern `cargo (check\|clippy\|test).*-p pmcp-tasks` confirmed at Makefile lines 281-306. All 4 combos with all 5 sub-checks present. |
| .github/workflows/ci.yml feature-flags job | Makefile test-feature-flags target | make test-feature-flags in CI job | WIRED | Line 194: `run: make test-feature-flags` within the `feature-flags` job. Exact target name matches. |

---

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plan | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| TEST-04 | 13-01-PLAN.md | Feature flag compilation verification (each backend compiles independently) | SATISFIED | All 4 feature flag combinations covered by Makefile target and CI job. All 7 broken doc-links fixed. Requirements.md shows `[x] TEST-04` marked complete and mapped to Phase 13. |

No orphaned requirements: only TEST-04 is mapped to Phase 13 in REQUIREMENTS.md (`| TEST-04 | Phase 13 | Complete |`) and it is claimed in 13-01-PLAN.md frontmatter.

---

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| — | — | — | — | None found |

Scanned all 5 modified files for TODO/FIXME/XXX/HACK/PLACEHOLDER, `return null`, empty handlers, and console-only implementations. Zero findings.

---

### Human Verification Required

None. All success criteria are verifiable programmatically:

- Doc-link correctness: grep confirms broken forms absent, correct forms present
- Makefile target: grep confirms target definition, .PHONY declaration, help listing, and all 20 sub-checks
- CI job: file structure confirms job name, trigger conditions, steps, and `make test-feature-flags` invocation
- Feature flag isolation: `#[cfg]` guards confirmed present for all feature-gated modules and re-exports

---

### Gaps Summary

No gaps. All 7 must-have truths are verified, all 5 artifacts pass existence, substantive, and wiring checks, both key links are wired, and TEST-04 is fully satisfied.

The phase goal is achieved: the pmcp-tasks crate has zero broken doc-links across all 4 feature flag combinations, automated local verification exists via `make test-feature-flags`, and CI will prevent regression on every push and PR to main.
