Overview​

This story creates framework-level integration documentation that explains how the Numbering & Versioning framework integrates with the Kanban and Workflow Management frameworks. Unlike E4:S03 (which validated dev-kit implementation), this story focuses on portable, template-ready documentation that external projects can use to integrate all three frameworks.

Goal​

Provide comprehensive, framework-level integration documentation that:

  • Explains how the three frameworks work together at the framework level
  • Provides portable patterns and examples for external projects
  • Documents integration best practices and common patterns
  • Includes troubleshooting guides and edge case handling
  • Is distinct from dev-kit-specific implementation validation (E4:S03)

Tasks​

E3:S03:T01 – Review existing framework-level integration documentation​

Input: Existing integration docs in framework packages
Deliverable: Audit report of existing framework-level integration documentation
Dependencies: None
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Review packages/frameworks/kanban/integration/numbering-versioning-integration.md
  2. Review packages/frameworks/kanban/integration/workflow-management-integration.md
  3. Review any other framework-level integration documentation
  4. Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and areas needing enhancement
  5. Document findings in audit report

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Complete audit of existing framework-level integration docs
  • Gaps and inconsistencies identified
  • Audit report created with findings and recommendations

E3:S03:T02 – Create comprehensive framework-level integration guide​

Input: Audit report from T01, framework documentation
Deliverable: Comprehensive framework-level integration guide
Dependencies: T01
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Create main integration guide document
  2. Document three-way integration architecture (Kanban ↔ Versioning ↔ RW)
  3. Explain integration points and data flow
  4. Document integration requirements and prerequisites
  5. Provide framework-level examples (not dev-kit specific)
  6. Make documentation portable and template-ready

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Comprehensive integration guide created
  • Three-way integration architecture documented
  • Integration points and data flow explained
  • Framework-level examples provided (portable)
  • Documentation is template-ready for external projects

E3:S03:T03 – Document integration patterns and best practices​

Input: Integration guide from T02, framework policies
Deliverable: Integration patterns and best practices document
Dependencies: T02
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Document common integration patterns
  2. Document best practices for each integration point
  3. Document anti-patterns and what to avoid
  4. Provide decision trees for integration scenarios
  5. Document versioning strategies for different workflows

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Common integration patterns documented
  • Best practices documented for each integration point
  • Anti-patterns and pitfalls documented
  • Decision trees provided for integration scenarios
  • Versioning strategies documented

E3:S03:T04 – Create integration examples for external projects​

Input: Integration guide and patterns from T02-T03
Deliverable: Integration examples document with external project scenarios
Dependencies: T02, T03
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Create example integration scenarios for external projects
  2. Provide step-by-step integration walkthroughs
  3. Include example configurations and file structures
  4. Document integration testing approaches
  5. Provide copy-paste ready examples

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Integration examples created for external projects
  • Step-by-step walkthroughs provided
  • Example configurations and file structures included

E3:S03:T05 – Document integration troubleshooting and common issues​

Input: Integration guide, patterns, and examples from T02-T04
Deliverable: Troubleshooting guide for integration issues
Dependencies: T02, T03, T04
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Document common integration issues and solutions
  2. Create troubleshooting decision trees
  3. Document integration validation approaches
  4. Provide debugging strategies
  5. Document edge cases and how to handle them

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Common integration issues documented with solutions
  • Troubleshooting decision trees created
  • Integration validation approaches documented
  • Debugging strategies provided
  • Edge cases documented with handling approaches

Acceptance Criteria​

  • Framework-level integration documentation is comprehensive and portable
  • Documentation is distinct from dev-kit-specific validation (E4:S03)
  • Integration patterns and best practices are clearly documented
  • External project examples are provided
  • Troubleshooting guide is complete
  • All documentation is template-ready for external projects

Dependencies​

Blocks:

  • Clear framework-level integration story for external projects adopting all three frameworks

Blocked By:

  • None

Coordinates With:

  • Epic 4 Story 3 (dev-kit integration validation) - complementary, not overlapping
  • Epic 2 (Workflow Management Framework)
  • Epic 4 (Kanban Framework)

Notes​

Distinction from E4:S03:

  • E4:S03: Validated integration in dev-kit implementation (dev-kit specific paths, examples, validation)
  • E3:S03: Framework-level integration documentation (portable, template-ready, external project focused)

Scope:

  • Framework-level patterns and practices
  • Portable documentation for external projects
  • Integration architecture and data flow
  • Best practices and anti-patterns
  • Troubleshooting and edge cases
