---

✓ **PASS** - Acceptance criteria list matches story draft exactly (no invention)
**Evidence:** Lines 79-87 - All 7 acceptance criteria match story draft exactly with proper XML encoding

---

✓ **PASS** - Tasks/subtasks captured as task list
**Evidence:** Lines 16-77 - 8 comprehensive tasks with AC mappings and detailed implementation steps

---

**Evidence:** Lines 89-127 - 7 documentation artifacts with complete paths and contextual snippets

---

✓ **PASS** - Relevant code references included with reason and line hints
**Evidence:** Lines 128-171 - 6 code artifacts with paths, symbols, line ranges, and reasons

---

✓ **PASS** - Interfaces/API contracts extracted if applicable
**Evidence:** Lines 203-239 - 5 interfaces with complete signatures, HTTP methods, and details

---

✓ **PASS** - Constraints include applicable dev rules and patterns
**Evidence:** Lines 187-203 - 16 constraints covering file placement, patterns, performance, and testing

---

✓ **PASS** - Dependencies detected from manifests and frameworks ✅ FIXED
**Evidence:** Lines 174-185
```xml
<dependencies>
  <verification source="pyproject.toml" status="confirmed">All dependencies exist in project manifest with compatible versions</verification>
  <python>
    <package name="httpx" version=">=0.27" manifest-line="29" status="confirmed">...</package>
    <package name="pydantic" version=">=2.0" manifest-line="25" status="confirmed">...</package>
    <package name="pydantic-settings" version=">=2.0" manifest-line="26" status="confirmed">...</package>
    <package name="structlog" version=">=24.1" manifest-line="30" status="confirmed">...</package>
    <package name="pytest" version=">=8.0" manifest-line="47" dev-dependency="true" status="confirmed">...</package>
    <package name="pytest-asyncio" version=">=0.23" manifest-line="48" dev-dependency="true" status="confirmed">...</package>
    <package name="testcontainers" version=">=3.7" manifest-line="51" dev-dependency="true" status="confirmed">...</package>
  </python>
</dependencies>
```

**Fix Applied:**
- ✅ Added verification element confirming all dependencies exist in pyproject.toml
- ✅ Updated package versions from "latest" to specific versions from manifest (>=8.0, >=0.23, >=3.7)
- ✅ Added manifest-line attributes for easy cross-reference
- ✅ Added status="confirmed" to all packages
- ✅ Added dev-dependency="true" flag for test packages

**Verification:**
All 7 dependencies cross-referenced with pyproject.toml:
- httpx (line 29): >=0.27 ✓
- pydantic (line 25): >=2.0 ✓
- pydantic-settings (line 26): >=2.0 ✓
- structlog (line 30): >=24.1 ✓
- pytest (line 47, dev): >=8.0 ✓
- pytest-asyncio (line 48, dev): >=0.23 ✓
- testcontainers (line 51, dev): >=3.7 ✓

---

✓ **PASS** - Testing standards and locations populated
**Evidence:** Lines 242-304 - Comprehensive testing section with standards, locations, and 10 test scenarios

---

✓ **PASS** - XML structure follows story-context template format ✅ FIXED
**Evidence:** Lines 1-305 (entire document)
Document uses proper XML structure with correct element hierarchy:
```xml
<story-context>
  <metadata>...</metadata>
  <story>...</story>
  <acceptanceCriteria>...</acceptanceCriteria>
  <artifacts>
    <docs>...</docs>
    <code>...</code>
  </artifacts>
  <dependencies>...</dependencies>  <!-- NOW AT ROOT LEVEL -->
  <constraints>...</constraints>
  <interfaces>...</interfaces>
  <tests>...</tests>
</story-context>
```

**Fix Applied:**
- ✅ Moved `<dependencies>` section from inside `<artifacts>` to root level
- ✅ Positioned between `</artifacts>` and `<constraints>` for logical flow
- ✅ Dependencies now properly accessible as top-level element
- ✅ XML structure now matches story-context template best practices

---

## Issues Fixed

### 1. Dependencies verification (CRITICAL) - ✅ RESOLVED
**Original Issue:** Dependencies listed but not verified against project manifests
**Fix Applied:**
- Added `<verification>` element confirming all dependencies exist
- Cross-referenced all 7 packages with pyproject.toml line numbers
- Updated versions from generic "latest" to actual manifest versions
- Added status and dev-dependency attributes for clarity

**Outcome:** Developer can now confidently proceed knowing all dependencies are installed with compatible versions.

---

### 2. XML structure dependencies placement (CRITICAL) - ✅ RESOLVED
**Original Issue:** Dependencies section nested inside `<artifacts>` instead of root level
**Fix Applied:**
- Extracted `<dependencies>` from `<artifacts>` closing tag
- Moved to root level between `</artifacts>` and `<constraints>`
- Maintained proper XML hierarchy and indentation

**Outcome:** XML now follows template format, making dependencies easy to locate and parse by automated tooling.

## Quality Improvements Summary

### Changes Made:
1. **Dependency Verification (Critical)**
   - Added verification statement with source reference
   - Mapped all packages to pyproject.toml line numbers
   - Updated versions to match actual manifest
   - Distinguished dev vs. runtime dependencies

2. **XML Structure Fix (Critical)**
   - Moved dependencies to correct hierarchy level
   - Improved document parsability
   - Aligned with story-context template standards

3. **Metadata Enhancements**
