---

## Validation Steps Completed

### ✅ 1. Previous Story Continuity Check

**Status:** FIXED

**Issue Found:**
- "Learnings from Previous Story" section existed but was missing critical details from Story 1-3

**Evidence:**
- Previous story (1-3-openapi-specification-integration) has status: done
- Story 1-3 created files: scripts/validate_openapi.py, docs-bmad/rabbitmq-http-api-openapi.yaml
- Story 1-3 added CI validation step at lines 47-49 of .github/workflows/ci.yml

**Fix Applied:**
Added comprehensive learnings section with:
- Files created (validate_openapi.py, OpenAPI spec)
- Completion notes (zero critical errors, 50+ schemas ready)
- Architectural decisions (ADR-001 single source of truth, ADR-007 build-time generation)
- Pattern established (argparse CLI, exit codes for CI, error reporting)

**Lines:** 189-203 (expanded from minimal content)

---

### ✅ 2. Source Document Coverage Check

**Status:** FIXED

**Issues Found:**
1. test-design-system.md exists but not cited in Dev Notes
2. Architecture documents cited but could reference more specific sections

**Evidence:**
- File exists: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md (testing strategy for RabbitMQ MCP)
- Contains testability assessment with controllability, observability, reliability criteria
- Has specific pytest patterns and fixture guidelines

**Fix Applied:**
Added test-design-system.md citation in Testing Standards Summary section with specific references:
- Line 305: Added [Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md - "Testability Assessment"]
- Line 307: Added [Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md - "1.1 Controllability"]
- Line 309: Added [Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md - "1.2 Observability"]
- Line 310: Added [Source: docs-bmad/test-design-system.md - "1.1 Controllability"]

**Lines:** 304-311

---

### ✅ 3. Acceptance Criteria Quality Check

**Status:** FIXED

**Issues Found:**
1. AC#3 (Field Type Mapping) was vague about when to use Dict[str, Any] vs nested BaseModel
2. AC#7 (RabbitMQ Validators) didn't specify post-generation injection approach
3. Tech Spec AC#4 not fully aligned with story ACs (missing implementation details)

**Evidence:**
- Tech Spec line 646-651: AC-4 specifies schema generation but lacks validator details
- Story AC#3 line 27-36: Missing clarification on object mapping decision logic
- Story AC#7 line 60-67: Missing implementation approach for validator injection

**Fix Applied:**
1. Enhanced AC#3 with explicit type mapping rules:
   - Line 30-31: "object with properties → nested BaseModel (use datamodel-code-generator --use-schema-description)"
   - Line 32: "object without properties → Dict[str, Any] (generic objects only)"
   - Added flag references for nullable (--strict-nullable) and defaults (--use-default)

2. Enhanced AC#7 with implementation details:
   - Line 64: "Post-generation script phase injects validators into generated code after model class definitions"
   - Lines 60-63: Added specific char requirements (1-255, alphanumeric+underscore/dash/dot)
   - Line 67: Added specific error message examples

**Lines:** 27-36 (AC#3), 60-67 (AC#7)

---

### ✅ 4. Task-AC Mapping and Implementation Clarity

**Status:** FIXED

**Issues Found:**
1. Task 3 (Field Type Mapping) lacked specific datamodel-code-generator options
2. Task 4 (RabbitMQ Validators) was vague about implementation approach - no clear steps for AST parsing, injection logic, or validator identification

**Evidence:**
- Original Task 3 (lines 89-101): Listed only 7 basic options, missing important flags
- Original Task 4 (lines 103-135): Showed validator code but no injection mechanism

**Fix Applied:**

**Task 3 Enhancement (Lines 89-110):**
Added 10+ datamodel-code-generator options with explanations:
- `--use-annotated` (Pydantic v2 idiomatic pattern)
- `--snake-case-field` (camelCase to snake_case conversion)
- `--enable-faux-immutability` (frozen models)
- Added test coverage for all OpenAPI types
- Added fixture requirement (5-10 representative schemas)

**Task 4 Complete Rewrite (Lines 103-147):**
Added clear implementation steps:
1. Line 104: "Parse generated code AST to identify RabbitMQ entity models"
2. Line 105: "Inject validators after each model class definition before next class"
3. Lines 106-146: Four complete validator implementations with:
   - Regex patterns for validation (e.g., `r'^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$'`)
   - Default value handling (vhost "/" default, durable True default)
   - Clear error messages matching AC#7
   - Type hints (str | None) for optional fields
4. Line 147: "Import re module at top of generated file for regex validation"
5. Line 149: "Ensure validator injection preserves code formatting (run black after injection)"

**Lines:** 89-110 (Task 3), 103-149 (Task 4)

---

### ✅ 5. Dev Notes Quality and Specificity

**Status:** FIXED

**Issues Found:**
1. Pydantic v2 usage missing Annotated[] best practice
2. Type safety requirements not mentioning Annotated[] pattern
3. External documentation missing specific Pydantic v2 pages

**Evidence:**
- ADR-008 mentions @field_validator but Annotated[] is Pydantic v2 recommended approach
- Type Safety section doesn't mention Annotated[] for field constraints
- External docs only link to main Pydantic v2 page

**Fix Applied:**

1. **Pydantic v2 Usage Section (Lines 234-238):**
   - Line 237: Updated @field_validator description to include "with mode='after'"
   - Line 238: Added "Annotated[] for type hints with constraints (Pydantic v2 best practice)"

2. **Type Safety Requirements (Lines 241-245):**
   - Line 244: Enhanced Dict[str, Any] guidance: "only for truly generic objects without defined properties"
   - Line 246: Added "Use Annotated[] for fields with constraints" with example

3. **External Documentation (Lines 351-357):**
   - Added 4 new specific documentation links:
     - Pydantic v2 field validators
     - Pydantic v2 Annotated usage
     - datamodel-code-generator CLI reference
     - OpenAPI 3.0 schema object

**Lines:** 234-238, 241-246, 351-357
