### Minor Issues (2 of 3 Fixed) ✅

#### ✅ Issue 6: Some citations lack line numbers
**Fixed:** Added line numbers to all ADR and architecture doc citations
- **ADR-009:** Now cited as "(lines 177-197)"
- **ADR-010:** Now cited as "(lines 199-220)"

#### ✅ Issue 8: Change Log not initialized
**Fixed:** Added Change Log section at end of story
- Added "## Change Log" section with placeholder comment
- Ready to track story lifecycle changes

#### ℹ️ Issue 7: Task descriptions could reference source line numbers (SKIPPED)
**Decision:** Not fixed - tasks are clear without line-level citations
- Tasks already reference ACs which are sourced from tech spec
- Adding line numbers to every task would reduce readability
- Current level of traceability is sufficient for developer execution
- This was marked as "Minor - Nice to Have" in validation report

## Fixes Applied - Detailed Changes

### Change 1: Enhanced Architectural Patterns Section
**Before:**
```markdown
- **Error Handling**: Follow ADR-009 correlation_id tracking and structured logging patterns

[Source: docs-bmad/sprint-artifacts/tech-spec-epic-3.md#AC-7]
[Source: docs-bmad/epics/epic-3-topology-operations.md#Story-3.7]
```

**After:**
```markdown
- **Error Handling**: Follow ADR-009 (lines 177-197) correlation_id tracking and structured logging patterns with JSON-structured logs
- **Type Hints**: All functions require full type annotations per consistency rules (lines 68-80): async def with typed parameters and return values
- **Response Format**: Follow api-contracts.md (lines 1-54) for MCP tool response structure with isError flag
