Remediation Tasks​

Task 1: Enhance Schema Customization Documentation​

Gap Reference: GAP-VERSIONING-CUSTOM-001
Priority: LOW (Post-RC)
Category: Documentation Enhancement
RC Impact: INFORMATIONAL (not blocking)

Description: Enhance documentation to make schema customization requirements more prominent. While customization is documented in integration guides, it could be more visible in the main README or PACKAGE_OVERVIEW.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Add prominent section on schema customization to README or PACKAGE_OVERVIEW
  • Include examples of custom schema implementations
  • Document required script updates for custom schemas
  • Add links to integration guides for detailed customization instructions

Estimated Effort: LOW (documentation update)

Dependencies: None

Tracking: Enhancement opportunity (not blocking RC)

Task 2: Enhance Path Configuration Documentation​

Gap Reference: GAP-VERSIONING-CONFIG-001
Priority: LOW (Post-RC)
Category: Documentation Enhancement
RC Impact: INFORMATIONAL (not blocking)

Description: Enhance documentation to make path configuration requirements more prominent. While path configuration is documented in integration guides and rw-config.yaml schema, it could be more visible in the main README or IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Add prominent section on path configuration to README or IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE
  • Include examples of rw-config.yaml configuration
  • Document default paths and customization options
  • Add links to integration guides for detailed configuration instructions

Estimated Effort: LOW (documentation update)

Dependencies: None

Tracking: Enhancement opportunity (not blocking RC)

Task 3: Enhance SemVer Mapping Documentation​

Gap Reference: GAP-VERSIONING-SEMVER-001
Priority: LOW (Post-RC)
Category: Documentation Enhancement
RC Impact: INFORMATIONAL (not blocking)

Description: Enhance documentation to provide more examples and guidance for complex SemVer mapping scenarios. While the Hybrid Approach algorithm is documented, additional examples for edge cases could be helpful.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Add examples of complex Epic/Story structures and their SemVer mapping
  • Document edge cases and custom mapping strategies
  • Include troubleshooting guide for SemVer mapping issues
  • Add links to semver_converter.py and registry documentation

Estimated Effort: LOW (documentation update)

Dependencies: None

Tracking: Enhancement opportunity (not blocking RC)

Post-RC Improvement Opportunities​

Opportunity 1: Documentation Enhancement Suite​

Description: Create a comprehensive documentation enhancement suite addressing all three identified gaps (schema customization, path configuration, SemVer mapping). This would improve the user experience for projects adopting the Numbering & Versioning package.

Priority: LOW (Post-RC)
Estimated Effort: MEDIUM (multiple documentation updates)
Value: Improved user experience and adoption ease

Tasks:

  • Task 1: Enhance Schema Customization Documentation
  • Task 2: Enhance Path Configuration Documentation
  • Task 3: Enhance SemVer Mapping Documentation

Opportunity 2: Integration Examples Expansion​

Description: Expand integration examples to cover more edge cases and customization scenarios. This would help users understand how to adapt the Numbering & Versioning package to their specific needs.

Priority: LOW (Post-RC)
Estimated Effort: MEDIUM (example creation and documentation)
Value: Improved adoption and customization guidance

Opportunity 3: Validation Script Enhancement​

Description: Enhance validation scripts to provide better error messages and guidance for customization scenarios. This would help users troubleshoot issues when using custom schemas or configurations.

Priority: LOW (Post-RC)
Estimated Effort: MEDIUM (script enhancement and testing)
Value: Improved developer experience and troubleshooting
