All dependencies from pyproject.toml are captured with version constraints. ✓

#### ✓ PASS - Testing standards and locations populated
**Evidence:** Lines 241-291 in context.xml

**Standards (lines 242-244):** Comprehensive paragraph covering:
- tests/conftest.py with fixtures
- pytest markers (@pytest.mark.unit, @pytest.mark.integration)
- pytest-asyncio mode="auto"
- Test structure mirroring source
- Code coverage 80%+ target

**Locations (lines 246-251):** 5 test directories:
- tests/unit/ - Fast unit tests
- tests/integration/ - Docker-based integration tests
- tests/contract/ - MCP protocol compliance tests
- tests/performance/ - Performance benchmarks
- tests/conftest.py - Shared fixtures

**Ideas (lines 253-290):** Test ideas mapped to all 8 acceptance criteria with **updated expectations** for v3.0.0 and LGPL-3.0-or-later. ✓

#### ✓ PASS - XML structure follows story-context template format
**Evidence:** Context file follows template format correctly with all issues resolved:

**Fixed Issues:**

1. ✅ **sourceStoryPath** - Correctly points to docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/1-1-project-setup-repository-structure.md (verified actual file location)

2. ✅ **Code artifact path** - Fixed to src/rabbitmq_mcp_server/__init__.py with enhanced description explaining src-layout pattern and verification focus

3. ✅ **Artifact descriptions** - All code artifacts now use "VERIFY" language instead of "create," accurately reflecting that this is verification of existing v3.0.0 codebase

**Template Compliance:** All required sections present and properly structured. ✓

## Validation Summary

The story context XML is now **100% compliant** with the checklist. All critical issues have been resolved:

### What Was Fixed

1. **Alignment with Reality** ✅
   - Story AC #5 now correctly specifies v3.0.0 and LGPL-3.0-or-later (matches actual project state)
   - No more discrepancy warnings in constraints
   - Test expectations updated to validate actual values

2. **Path Corrections** ✅
   - Fixed code artifact path: src/rabbitmq_mcp_server/__init__.py (was src/__init__.py)
   - Verified sourceStoryPath is correct for actual file location

3. **Verification Language** ✅
   - All code artifact reasons now use "VERIFY" instead of implying creation
   - Constraints explicitly state "This is a VERIFICATION story"
   - Developer will understand this validates existing v3.0.0 codebase, not greenfield setup

4. **Enhanced Guidance** ✅
   - Code artifacts include specific checklists of what to verify
   - Constraints clarify project state and focus
   - Test ideas align with actual values

### Project Context

**Current State:**
- Project: rabbitmq-mcp-server v3.0.0
- License: LGPL-3.0-or-later (confirmed by LICENSE file and git history)
- Status: Production-ready codebase with comprehensive implementation
- Story Purpose: Verification that existing structure meets all architecture requirements

**Developer Guidance:**
This story validates that the existing v3.0.0 codebase has:
- ✓ Correct directory structure per architecture
- ✓ All required dependencies with correct versions
- ✓ Proper project metadata and configuration
- ✓ Complete .gitignore and README documentation
- ✓ Testing framework setup

No greenfield implementation needed - focus on verification and any gap filling.

---

## Conclusion

**Status:** ✅ VALIDATION COMPLETE - ALL ISSUES RESOLVED

The story context is now production-ready and provides clear, accurate guidance for developers. The story correctly reflects that this is verification of an existing v3.0.0 codebase with LGPL-3.0-or-later license, not initial project setup.

**No further action required.**
