# Phase Template

Reusable template for every implementation phase. Copy to `docs/<area>-phase-<id>.md` or `docs/phases/<Area>/` and fill all sections.

Registry-oriented short form also exists at [templates/phase-template.md](../templates/phase-template.md). Prefer **this** template for AI-driven implementation phases.

**Enterprise default:** Every phase must run [Enterprise Phase Discovery](enterprise-phase-discovery.md) before Implementation, satisfy [definition-of-done.md](definition-of-done.md), and deliver applicable [mandatory-phase-artifacts.md](mandatory-phase-artifacts.md). CRUD is never sufficient. Derive missing production components inside this phase without pulling future-phase features ([boundary-rules.md](boundary-rules.md)).

| --- | --- |
| Identifier | (e.g. `loyalty-7.1`) |
| Status | Planned / In Progress / Complete |
| Owner | Platform / TBD |

## Objective

One paragraph: measurable outcome of this phase.

## Enterprise Phase Discovery

> **Required before Implementation.** Copy the full Discovery Record from [enterprise-phase-discovery.md](enterprise-phase-discovery.md).

| Field | Value |

### Gap Analysis

| Capability | Status | Action |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Business Capabilities | | |
| Entities / Value Objects / Aggregates | | |
| Services / Policies / Specifications | | |
| Repositories / Commands / Queries | | |
| REST / Capability / Permission / Health / Metrics APIs | | |

### Explicitly Excluded (future phase or other service)

-

### Boundary Confirmations

- [ ] No future-phase pull-forward
- [ ] No service-boundary violation
- [ ] No duplication of another service’s logic
- [ ] CRUD-only delivery rejected

### Tests

Mandatory categories (mark N/A with reason only if truly not applicable):

- [ ] Unit
- [ ] Repository
- [ ] Service / Command / Query
- [ ] Integration / API
- [ ] Migration
- [ ] Permission
- [ ] Security
- [ ] Architecture / Boundary
- [ ] Performance (if hot path)
- [ ] Tenant Isolation
- [ ] Documentation Validation

Standards: [testing-template.md](testing-template.md).

### Documentation

- [ ] Phase doc (this file)
- [ ] Progress / Next Steps / Roadmap as applicable
- [ ] Module Registry / Provider Registry
- [ ] Reference (API / events / schema) if public surface changed
- [ ] OpenAPI
- [ ] ADR if architectural decision introduced
- [ ] Manifests updated
- [ ] Handover completed (incl. Enterprise Completeness Sign-Off)

Standards: [documentation-template.md](documentation-template.md).

### Mandatory Artifacts Trace

Confirm each applicable row from [mandatory-phase-artifacts.md](mandatory-phase-artifacts.md) is In Scope, Done, or N/A (justified):

- [ ] Trace completed in phase doc or handover appendix

## Out of Scope

Explicit exclusions (prevent scope creep and future-phase pull-forward):

-

## Completion Criteria

- [ ] Objective met
- [ ] Enterprise Phase Discovery Record complete; Missing→Implement gaps closed
- [ ] Business Analysis complete

- [ ] [phase-handover.md](phase-handover.md) filled
- [ ] Boundary rules respected ([boundary-rules.md](boundary-rules.md))
- [ ] No TODO for claimed work
- [ ] Development loop completed ([development-loop.md](development-loop.md))
