---

### Structure Compliance
**Pass Rate:** 1/1 (100%)

✓ **XML structure follows story-context template format**  
Evidence: Complete structure validation:
- `<metadata>` with epicId, storyId, title, status, timestamp
- `<story>` with asA/iWant/soThat, tasks
- `<acceptanceCriteria>` with 8 criteria
- `<artifacts>` with docs and code sections
- `<dependencies>` with Python and stdlib packages
- `<constraints>` with 6 constraint types
- `<interfaces>` with 5 interface definitions
- `<tests>` with standards, locations, and ideas

---

## Issues Found and Fixed

### ✅ ISSUE 1: Missing operations-3.13.json registry reference
**Status:** FIXED  
**Location:** `<code>` artifacts section  
**Problem:** Task 7 references "operations-3.13.json registry (OpenAPI-derived)" but it was missing from code artifacts  
**Impact:** Dev wouldn't know where to verify queues.purge operation registration  
**Fix Applied:** Added registry artifact with path `data/operations-3.13.json` and clear reason for Task 7 verification

### ✅ ISSUE 2: Insufficient documentation artifacts  
**Status:** FIXED  
**Location:** `<docs>` section  
**Problem:** Only 6 docs included - checklist recommends 5-15, was at bare minimum  
**Missing docs:**
- ADR-007 (Error Handling Strategy) - referenced in story
- ADR-008 (Type Safety Pydantic) - referenced in story  
- operations-3.13.json documentation
- pytest.ini configuration

**Impact:** Dev would miss critical architectural decisions and configuration  
**Fix Applied:** Added 4 documentation artifacts bringing total from 6 → 10 (within optimal range)

### ✅ ISSUE 3: Missing test configuration reference
**Status:** FIXED  
**Location:** `<code>` artifacts section  
**Problem:** Referenced test files but didn't include pytest.ini configuration  
**Impact:** Dev might not understand pytest conventions (asyncio_mode, coverage, markers)  
**Fix Applied:** Added pytest.ini artifact with explanation of test configuration settings

### ✅ ISSUE 4: Incomplete dependency information
**Status:** FIXED  
**Location:** `<dependencies>` section  
**Problem:** Missing urllib.parse (stdlib) - used in constraints but not listed  
**Impact:** Minor but affects completeness - URL encoding is critical for vhost handling  
**Fix Applied:** Added `<stdlib>` section with urllib.parse module documentation

## Recommendations

### Must Fix (Critical) - ✅ ALL COMPLETED
1. ✅ Add operations-3.13.json registry to code artifacts
2. ✅ Add ADR-007 and ADR-008 to documentation artifacts  
3. ✅ Add pytest.ini configuration reference
4. ✅ Add urllib.parse to dependencies

### Should Improve (Important) - Not Applicable
None identified - all critical improvements applied

### Consider (Minor Enhancements) - Optional
1. **Consider adding example log output** - Could add sample structured log JSON to docs section for clarity
2. **Consider adding HTTP response examples** - Could show example 200 OK response body with {"message_count": N}
3. **Consider adding error response examples** - Could show 404 response format from RabbitMQ API

**Note:** These are optional enhancements. Current context is fully compliant and production-ready.
