Overview​

This story performs the RC readiness implementation review for the Kanban framework package (packages/frameworks/kanban/).

Expectations Baseline (Draft)​

Core operating principles (package README):

  • Kanban can run standalone with Git + Markdown; optional integrations with Numbering & Versioning and Workflow Management.
  • 3-tier structure (Epic → Story → Task) is mandatory; discrete task docs required.
  • Forensic traceability via version markers (vRC.E.S.T+B) and Story Checklist as SoT.
  • Copy, don't reference: consumers must copy the package and customize paths/terminology.

Governance rules (kanban governance policy):

  • All substantive work is task-driven and must map to a task.
  • Every FR/BR results in at least one task.
  • Tasks must live under Stories, Stories under Epics.
  • Versioning must align with Kanban structure and RW validations.

Package composition (README):

  • Governance policy, Epic/Story/Task templates, canonical E/S/T structure docs.
  • Migration utilities and installer (detect → analyze → migrate → validate).
  • Integration guides for versioning and workflows.

Sources:

  • packages/frameworks/kanban/README.md
  • packages/frameworks/kanban/policies/kanban-governance-policy.md

Goal​

Provide a complete implementation review, evidence, and remediation plan to support RC sign-off for the Kanban framework.

Approach: Synthesize expectations, inventory, behavior validation, integrations, and the gap log into:

  • A concrete, checkable RC sign-off checklist (governance, structure, integrations, gap posture, traceability)
  • A reusable remediation pattern that wires non-blocking gaps into Kanban/FR/BR tasks without blocking RC
