# T-<id> Feature | Task Name
## Metadata
- Type: Implementation Plan
- Status: Draft | Phase X In Progress | Cancelled | Complete
## Links
- Associated Design Document:
- [T-<id>-<task>-design](../tasks/T-<id>-<task>/design.md)
## Overview
`[Brief description of the feature/task and its purpose]`
## Success Metrics
- [ ] `[Measurable success criterion]`
- [ ] `[Performance target if applicable]`
- [ ] `[User experience improvement]`
- [ ] All existing tests pass; no regressions in `[area]`
## Scope
- Goal: `[Outcome to achieve]`
- Non-Goals: `[Explicitly out of scope]`
- Assumptions: `[Operational/technical assumptions]`
- Constraints: `[Time/tech/platform/compliance]`
## ADR & Legacy Alignment
- [ ] Confirm the latest ADRs/design documents that govern this work are referenced above (update `Related ADRs` if needed).
- [ ] Note any known gaps between existing code/dependencies and the approved approach; add explicit subtasks in the phase checklists to retire or migrate those legacy patterns.
## Plan Summary
- Phase 1 – `[Short label describing the primary focus (e.g., Foundation scaffolding, API surface, CLI polish)]`
- Phase 2 – `[Short label describing the next major milestone]`
- Phase 3 – `[Short label describing the final hardening/cleanup]`
- `[Add additional phases or remove unused lines as appropriate]`
### Phase Status Tracking
Mark checkboxes (`[x]`) immediately after completing each task or subtask. If an item is intentionally skipped or deferred, annotate it (e.g., strike-through with a brief note) instead of leaving it unchecked.

## Phase 1: `[Core Component/Foundation]`
### Goal
- `[What this phase aims to achieve]`
### Inputs
- Documentation:
- `/docs/...` – `[Purpose]`
- Source Code to Modify:
- `/src/...` – `[Purpose]`
- `/src/...` – `[Purpose]`
- Dependencies:
- Internal: `src/[module]/` – `[Description]`
- External crates: `[crate_name]` – `[Purpose]`
### Tasks
- [ ] **`[Task group]`**
- [ ] `[Specific subtask]`

### Deliverables
- `[Artifacts/changes produced]`
### Verification
```bash
# Build and checks
cargo check
cargo fmt
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
# Focused unit tests
cargo test --lib --quiet [module_name]
# If integration relevant
cargo it # alias: test --quiet --features integration_tests
```
### Acceptance Criteria (Phase Gate)

- `[Other dependencies]`
- Source Code to Modify:
- `/src/...` – `[Purpose]`
### Phase 2 Tasks
- [ ] **`[Task group]`**
- [ ] `[Specific subtask]`
- [ ] `[Specific subtask]`
### Phase 2 Deliverables
- `[Artifacts/changes produced]`
### Phase 2 Verification
```bash
cargo check
cargo fmt
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test --lib --quiet [module_name]
# Optional: broader runs
cargo it
```
### Phase 2 Acceptance Criteria
- `[Observable, testable criteria required to exit this phase]`
### Phase 2 Rollback/Fallback
- `[How to revert; alternative approach if needed]`

## Phase 3: Testing & Integration
### Phase 3 Goal
- Create comprehensive tests and validate integration boundaries.
### Phase 3 Tasks
- [ ] Test utilities
- [ ] `[Helper functions]`
- [ ] `[Fixtures/mocks as needed]`
- [ ] Scenarios
- [ ] Happy path
- [ ] Error handling
- [ ] Edge cases
- [ ] Concurrency & cleanup
- [ ] Boundary conditions
- [ ] Concurrent operations (honor `RUST_TEST_THREADS=4`)
- [ ] Resource cleanup
### Phase 3 Deliverables
- Comprehensive automated tests for new behavior
- Documented known limitations and follow-ups (if any)
### Phase 3 Verification
```bash
cargo fmt
cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
# Integration tests
cargo it
# Full test suite (consider runtime)
cargo test --quiet
```
### Phase 3 Acceptance Criteria
- `[Coverage of critical paths; green on unit + integration runs]`
---
## Definition of Done
- [ ] `cargo check`
- [ ] `cargo fmt`
- [ ] `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- [ ] `cargo test --lib --quiet`
- [ ] Integration/perf/bench (as applicable): `cargo it`, `cargo perf`, `cargo bench`
- [ ] `docs/reference.md` updated; user docs updated if user-facing
- [ ] ADRs added/updated for design decisions
- [ ] Error messages actionable and in English; exit codes correct
- [ ] Platform verification completed (if platform-touching)
- [ ] No `unsafe` and no vague naming (no "manager"/"util")
## Open Questions
- [ ] `[Question that needs investigation]`
- [ ] `[Decision that needs to be made]` → Next step: `[Where to resolve (e.g., coordinate downstream task docs/tasks/T-<id>-<task>/README.md, update requirements docs/requirements/FR-<id>-<capability>.md per TDL)]`
- [ ] `[Information that needs gathering]` → Method: `[How to obtain insight]`
