Blueprint Analysis: ReadingList
Commander Expectations
- assert readers can maintain an ordered list of books to read through a web application
- assert empty titles and authors are rejected with clear reasons
- assert the complete automated test suite is runnable through
sh bin/test.sh
Crew
| Crew | Charge |
|---|---|
| Commander | Defines intent and decides what done means. |
| Team Lead | Confirms epic completeness and stakeholder expectations. |
| Planning Crew | Authors atomic specifications and the ordered Manifest. |
| Shipyard Crew | Builds the tickets without synchronous Commander access. |
Story List
Feature: Book List Management
| ID | Story | High-level AC |
|---|---|---|
| BOOKS-001 | Add a book with title and author | A submitted title and author are stored and shown in the list. |
| BOOKS-002 | View books in order added | The list displays books in the same order in which they were added, including an understandable empty-list state. |
| BOOKS-003 | Remove a book | Removing a book causes it to be omitted on the next list read. |
| BOOKS-004 | Reject incomplete book submissions | Empty titles or authors are rejected and the reason is clearly reported. |
Feature: Application Verification
| ID | Story | High-level AC |
|---|---|---|
| VERIFY-001 | Run the complete automated test suite | sh bin/test.sh runs from the application root and exits zero only when every automated test passes. |
| VERIFY-002 | Cover all book-list behaviors with automated tests | Automated tests cover adding, ordered listing, removal, and rejection of empty title or author. |
Surfaced Acceptance Criteria
| ID | Story ID | Criterion |
|---|---|---|
| AC-001 | BOOKS-001 | The primary web entry point provides a first-time reader with a direct path to submit a title and author. |
| AC-002 | BOOKS-002 | When no books exist, the application presents a clear empty-list state. |
| AC-003 | BOOKS-004 | Submission errors identify that the title or author is required. |
| AC-004 | BOOKS-002 | Interactive list operations provide a usable response while the request is in progress and a clear error state if the operation fails. |

Relationship Model
| Source or group | Relationship type | Related source or group | Evidence | Delivery implication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sources/reading-list.md | instruction-to-test | BOOKS-001 through BOOKS-004 | The source defines add, ordered viewing, removal, and validation behaviors. | Implementation stories must preserve these user-visible behaviors. |
sources/reading-list.md | instruction-to-test | VERIFY-002 | The source explicitly requires automated tests for each behavior. | Tests must cover every listed book-list behavior. |
sources/reading-list.md | instruction-to-test | VERIFY-001 | The source requires a POSIX-compatible bin/test.sh and complete-suite execution. | The terminal verification story must provide and run the project test command. |

Planning Instructions
Delivery Shape
A small web application accepts book title and author input, stores books, renders them in insertion order, and supports removal. The application includes automated behavior tests and a root-level POSIX test launcher. The primary flow is submit, view the ordered list, and remove an item.
Story Realization Map
| Story ID | Blueprint scope | Evidence | Related files | Delivery kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOOKS-001 | Book creation flow and persistence | sources/reading-list.md | Web entry point, book model/store, add-book tests | capability, persistence, test |
| BOOKS-002 | Ordered list rendering and empty state | sources/reading-list.md | List view, ordered query/read path, list tests | capability, test |
| BOOKS-003 | Book removal flow | sources/reading-list.md | Remove route/action, persistence deletion, removal tests | capability, test |
| BOOKS-004 | Input validation and error presentation | sources/reading-list.md | Validation boundary, form error display, rejection tests | capability, test |
| VERIFY-001 | Complete test launcher | sources/reading-list.md | bin/test.sh, test-runner configuration | acceptance contract, build gate |
| VERIFY-002 | Behavior test coverage | sources/reading-list.md | Automated test modules for all book behaviors | test harness |
Test and Acceptance Strategy
Each book-management story owns focused tests for its behavior. VERIFY-002 confirms coverage across adding, ordered listing, removal, and invalid submissions. VERIFY-001 is the terminal verification story and runs the complete suite through sh bin/test.sh; its acceptance assertion uses Suite: full. The complete-suite requirement is a proof gate, not a numeric release threshold.
Sequencing and Dependencies
Establish the application foundation and persistence boundary before the book-management stories. Implement creation and ordered reads before removal and validation refinements. Keep focused story tests scoped to the owning behavior. Implement the test launcher and complete-suite verification after the behavior tests are available.
Source Conflicts and Gaps
No conflicting source definitions were found. The source does not name a framework, language, persistence engine, or deployment target; conventional implementation choices are proposed in TECHNOLOGY_STACK.md. No external service, authentication model, or sensitive-data requirement is stated.
