Artifact Under Review
- Instance reviewed: the change that makes
.env optional while config.env stays required, in MIL-007, UC-002, US-001 (US-002), OC-002, DCD-003 and DCD-002. It follows the merge of the credentials work (MIL-005), where a credential that .env does not provide is asked; the first version of these documents, reviewed in RC-029, said that a missing .env stops the run.
- Checklist used: QC-MIL-001 for MIL-007; the checklists of the other types are applied to the changed parts below.
- Review date: 2026-10-07
Checklist Results (MIL-007, QC-MIL-001)
| # |
Criterion |
Status |
Evidence/Notes |
| 1 |
A concrete deliverable is defined for every gate |
Pass |
Unchanged; task 2 now says config.env required and .env optional. |
| 2 |
Explicit Go/No-Go criteria are stated for each gate |
Pass |
Criterion 9 is objective in each case: no config.env stops the run and names both places; no .env goes on and asks for the token; a stop for a missing .env is a No-Go. |
| 3 |
Dependencies on other milestones are explicitly mapped |
Pass |
Unchanged. The behaviour now agrees with the credentials milestone that merged first. |
| 4 |
Each milestone is traceable to a Business Case objective or KPI |
Pass |
Unchanged: objective 11 and success criterion 11. |
| 5 |
Milestone owner and approving reviewer are identified |
Pass |
Unchanged. |
| 6 |
Milestone has a defined target date consistent with project constraints |
Pass |
Unchanged. |

Evidence/Notes |
| UC-002 |
Precondition; extension 4b for config.env only; new extension 4d for a .env found nowhere |
Pass |
4d refers to extension 2b of the main use case for the asking of the credential; the use case stays free of implementation detail. |
| US-001 |
US-002 acceptance criterion split in two |
Pass |
One given/when/then for a missing config.env or a broken link, one for a missing .env, which points to US-001.05. |
| OC-002 |
P5: envFile may be absent; the missing-file exception split |
Pass |
Declarative; the new row says no error and points to the postcondition of OC-001 that enters the credential. |
| DCD-003, DCD-002 |
envFile is [0..1] on ConfigFiles and on Checkout |
Pass |
Multiplicity given; the class table says when it is absent. |
| SD-002 |
Not changed |
Pass |
The alt for "both places for a config file are not found" still holds, because it concerns config.env. |
The code and tests were checked against the new wording: locate_config_file takes an optional word for .env, and the tests test_a_config_file_found_nowhere_stops_before_any_request_and_names_both_places and test_a_credentials_file_found_nowhere_means_the_token_is_asked cover the two cases. The full suite passed with 1136 checks.
Overall Verdict
Go — the wording now agrees with the credentials behaviour on main, with the code and with the tests, and nothing else in the use case changes. Drafted by Claude Code for S02; the author and reviewer are the same person for now. S02 confirmed the verdict on 2026-10-07 and the Version History rows of the reviewed documents were set to Accepted. The open action items of RC-028 and RC-029 stay open.
