## Key Features Across All Schemas

### Input Validation (Create/Update)
- String length constraints: min 1, max 500 chars typically
- Enum validation: Only valid status/type values
- Pattern validation: regex for pattern fields
- Required field enforcement: Field(...) for required
- Optional fields: field | None = None

### Output Serialization (Response)
- ORM compatibility: from_attributes=True
- All database fields: id, number, timestamps, version
- Soft deletes: deleted_at field
- Timestamps: created_at, updated_at, deleted_at
- Version tracking: version field for optimistic locking

### List Pagination (ListResponse)
- Total count: For pagination calculation
- Array of responses: Typed list[ResponseType]
- Ready for offset/limit pagination

### Extensibility
- Metadata field: dict[str, Any] for custom data
- Tags: list[str] for categorization
- Relationships: ID lists for graph queries

## Implementation Order (Recommended)

### Phase 1: Immediate (Use Schemas Now)
1. ✓ Schemas created (THIS DELIVERABLE)
2. → Create SQLAlchemy models
3. → Create Alembic migrations
4. → Create repositories

### Phase 2: Short-term (Next 1-2 weeks)
1. → Create tRPC routers
2. → Create unit tests (Vitest)
3. → Create API integration tests (Playwright)
4. → Create E2E tests (Playwright)

### Phase 3: Medium-term (Next month)
1. → Add status transitions
2. → Add relationship validation
3. → Add requirement quality analysis
4. → Add graph/traceability features

### Phase 4: Polish (After core functionality)
1. → Add audit logging
2. → Add notifications
3. → Add versioning/diff tracking
4. → Add full-text search

## Validation Rules Quick Reference

| Aspect | Rule | Example |
|--------|------|---------|
| Titles | min 1, max 500 chars | "Use async/await for IO" |
| Names | min 1, max 500 chars | "User authentication" |
| Patterns | min 1 char | "^I click on .+$" |
| Enums | String-based | ADRStatus.PROPOSED |
| Scores | 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0 | 0.45 (ambiguity) |
| Integers | >= 1 (usually) | step_number: 1 |
| Lists | Default to empty | [] |
| Dicts | Default to empty | {} |
| Timestamps | Auto-generated | created_at |
| IDs | UUID v4 | "550e8400-e29b..." |

---

## Error Handling

All schemas raise `pydantic.ValidationError` on invalid input:

```python
from pydantic import ValidationError

try:
    adr = ADRCreate(title="Missing required fields")
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e.errors())
    # [{
    #   'type': 'missing',
    #   'loc': ('context',),
    #   'msg': 'Field required'
    # }]
```

---

## Type Safety Benefits

```python
# IDE auto-completes status enum values
adr_update = ADRUpdate(status=ADRStatus.ACCEPTED)
#                                 ↑ IDE shows: PROPOSED, ACCEPTED, etc.

# Full string methods available
feature = FeatureCreate(name="My Feature")
name_upper = feature.name.upper()  # IDE knows it's str

# Type-safe list operations
scenarios = [ScenarioCreate(...), ScenarioCreate(...)]
for scenario in scenarios:
    # IDE knows scenario is ScenarioCreate
```

---
