- **Coverage percentage:** 100%

## UX Alignment Assessment

### UX Document Status

**Found:** `ux-design-specification.md` -- Comprehensive UX design specification (86KB, 14 steps completed). Covers executive summary, core user experience, emotional design, UX pattern analysis, design system foundation, visual design, user journey flows, component strategy, UX consistency patterns, responsive design, and accessibility.

### UX <-> PRD Alignment

**Strong alignment across all areas:**

| PRD Element | UX Coverage | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 5 user personas (Karim, Rachid, Fatima, Hassan, Saad) | All 5 mapped with detailed usage patterns, tech level, primary device | Aligned |
| 6 user journeys | 4 detailed flow diagrams with mermaid; cross-role declaration lifecycle covered | Aligned |
| Role-driven dashboards (FR24-FR26) | Detailed Owner/Manager command center + Worker scoped dashboard UX specifications | Aligned |
| Client portal zero-friction (FR34-FR40) | Mobile-first, token-based, single-action page design specified | Aligned |
| Bulk operations (FR17, FR32) | Multi-step form pattern, BulkActionBar component, Gmail-style selection | Aligned |
| Filter persistence (FR42) | URL query params via Inertia router.get(), useFilters composable specified | Aligned |
| Archive system (FR44-FR51) | Visual distinction (muted styling), read-only detail page, DeclarationStatusStepper | Aligned |
| French-native UI | DD/MM/YYYY dates, MAD currency, relative French timestamps ("il y a 2 heures") | Aligned |
| Subscription tiers | Not explicitly detailed in UX (LimitReachedModal is in epics but not detailed in UX spec) | Minor gap |

### UX <-> Architecture Alignment

**Strong alignment on technical patterns:**

| UX Pattern | Architecture Support | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Server-side filtering + URL params | D11: Inertia router.get() + Eloquent scopes in controllers | Aligned |
| Dashboard caching for 200 clients (NFR5) | D4/D5: Redis Cache::remember() with 5-minute TTL | Aligned |
| Document preview (PDF.js, images) | D12: Client-side PDF.js, native img, shadcn Dialog wrapper | Aligned |
| Real-time activity feed | D10: Deferred for MVP -- no WebSocket. Server-rendered via Inertia | Aligned (noted limitation) |
| Notification system (bell, email) | D8: Laravel DatabaseNotification, database + mail channels | Aligned |
| Bulk operations (50 items, 10s) | D9: DB::transaction() + individual Redis-queued emails | Aligned |
| Quick search (1s response) | D3: MySQL FULLTEXT with MATCH...AGAINST | Aligned |
| Mobile-first client portal | Token-based auth, Spatie Media Library, responsive Tailwind | Aligned |
| TanStack Table v8 for DataTable | Not explicitly mentioned in architecture but compatible with Vue 3 frontend stack | Compatible |

### Alignment Issues

1. **Declaration status flow mismatch (Minor):** The UX Journey 4 shows a status flow: `CREATED → WAITING_FOR_CLIENT → DOCUMENTS_RECEIVED → IN_PROGRESS → FILED → ARCHIVED` with additional states `DOCUMENTS_INCOMPLETE` and `CLIENT_NOTIFIED`. However, the Architecture specifies: `created → en_cours → en_attente_client → en_cours → termine → ferme → [auto-archive]`. The PRD aligns with the Architecture version. The UX document uses different status names (English vs. French) and includes states (`DOCUMENTS_RECEIVED`, `DOCUMENTS_INCOMPLETE`, `FILED`) not present in the Architecture or PRD. **Recommendation:** Align UX to use the Architecture/PRD status flow. The extra UX states may represent visual sub-states rather than database states, but this should be clarified to avoid confusion during implementation.

2. **Sidebar navigation items (Minor):** The UX spec lists sidebar items as "Dashboard, Clients, Dossiers, Fiscal Calendar, Declarations, Settings" in some places, while the PRD/Architecture/Epics use "Dashboard, Clients, Declarations, Archive, Team, Settings." "Fiscal Calendar" and "Dossiers" appear to be UX concepts that don't map to built features. **Recommendation:** Align UX sidebar to match PRD/Epics: Dashboard, Clients, Declarations, Archive, Team, Settings.

3. **LimitReachedModal UX specification (Gap):** The epics (Story 6.5) reference a `LimitReachedModal` component for subscription enforcement, but the UX spec does not detail this component's design. **Recommendation:** Add LimitReachedModal to UX component strategy.

### Warnings

- **No critical misalignments.** The UX, PRD, and Architecture are well-synchronized. The UX was clearly built from the PRD and references Architecture decisions.
- The two minor status flow discrepancies should be resolved before implementation to ensure developers build the correct states.
- The UX document uses "folders/dossiers" terminology in a few legacy references (e.g., component list mentions "FolderForm") which should be updated to "declarations" post-rename.

## Epic Quality Review

### Epic Structure Assessment

**8 epics, 36 stories total. Overall quality: Strong.**

| Epic | Stories | User Value | Independent | ACs Quality | FR Traced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Epic 0: Foundation Migration | 5 | Technical (justified) | Pre-phase | Good | Pass |
| Epic 1: Team Management | 6 | Yes | Yes | Strong | FR3,4,7-11 |
| Epic 2: Dashboard & Command Center | 4 | Yes | Needs Epic 1 | Strong | FR24-26 |
| Epic 3: Collaboration & Notifications | 5 | Yes | Needs Epic 1 | Strong | FR29-33 |
| Epic 4: Bulk Ops, Search, Filtering | 5 | Yes | Yes | Strong | FR17,41-44 |
| Epic 5: Archive & Document Preview | 5 | Yes | Needs Epic 4.5 | Good (minor issue) | FR21-23,45-51 |
| Epic 6: Platform Admin | 5 | Yes | Yes | Strong | FR27-28,56-58 |
| Epic 7: Production Infrastructure | 5 | Operational (justified) | Yes | Strong | NFR-driven |

### Critical Violations

**1. Epic 0 and Epic 7 are technical milestone epics (no direct user value)**
- Epic 0: Terminology migration + Redis setup -- purely technical
- Epic 7: Production infrastructure, deployment, backups -- operational
- **Assessment:** Both are justifiable exceptions. Epic 0 prevents compounding rename debt. Epic 7 addresses mandatory NFRs for production.
- **Recommendation:** Accept as "enabler epics" and document them as such. Not a blocking issue.

### Major Issues

**2. HTTP 403 vs 404 inconsistency in Epic 5 (Stories 5.1, 5.2, 5.4)**
- Stories use `abort(403)` for archived declaration edit attempts and Worker access restrictions
- Architecture mandates `abort(404)` for ALL authorization violations (NFR9)
- **Recommendation:** Update acceptance criteria to use `abort(404)` consistently. If 403 is intentionally desired for archived-edit rejection (user IS authorized to view but NOT edit), document this as a deliberate exception.

**3. Story 0.5 creates database columns prematurely**
- `permissions` JSON column (needed Epic 1) and `archived_at` (needed Epic 5) created in Epic 0
- Violates just-in-time database creation principle
- **Recommendation:** Acceptable for "foundation pre-phase" design intent. Alternatively, move to Story 1.1 and Story 5.1 respectively.

### Minor Concerns

**4. Infrastructure-first stories within user-value epics**
- Stories 1.1, 3.1, 4.1, and 6.1 are developer-facing infrastructure stories
- They create technical foundations (traits, notification tables, FilterBar component, admin guard) that subsequent stories build upon
- **Assessment:** Common and pragmatic pattern. Each "X.1" story enables clear user value in X.2+ stories.

**5. BulkActionBar pattern coupling between Epic 3 and Epic 4**
- Story 3.4 introduces BulkActionBar for client notifications
- Story 4.4 uses similar bulk UI pattern for declaration creation
- **Assessment:** Minor. Both can implement independently. The component can be built in whichever epic is implemented first.

**6. Acceptance criteria completeness**
- All 36 stories use proper Given/When/Then BDD format
- Stories reference specific NFR targets (e.g., "within 10 seconds NFR2", "within 3 seconds NFR5")
- Error conditions are generally well-covered
- **One gap:** Story 4.4 does not specify what happens if bulk creation partially fails (e.g., 48 of 50 succeed due to a validation error on 2 clients). The `DB::transaction()` means all-or-nothing, but this should be explicitly stated in the ACs.

### Story Dependency Map

```
Epic 0: 0.1 → 0.2 → 0.3 (sequential rename)
        0.4 (independent - Redis)
        0.5 → depends on 0.1

Epic 1: 1.1 (foundation) → 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 (parallel possible)
        1.6 (independent)

Epic 2: 2.1 (dashboard base) → 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 (parallel after 2.1)

Epic 3: 3.1 (notification infra) → 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 (parallel after 3.1)

Epic 4: 4.1 (FilterBar) → 4.2, 4.3, 4.5 (parallel after 4.1)
        4.4 (independent of 4.1)

Epic 5: 5.1 (auto-archive) → 5.2, 5.4, 5.5 (parallel after 5.1)
        5.3 (independent)

Epic 6: 6.1 (admin guard) → 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 (parallel after 6.1)
        6.5 (independent)

Epic 7: 7.1-7.5 (mostly independent, can parallelize)
```

### Remediation Summary

| # | Issue | Severity | Action Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Epic 0 + Epic 7 no user value | Critical (by standard), Low (in context) | Document as "enabler epics" -- no rework needed |
| 2 | 403 vs 404 in Epic 5 stories | Major | Update ACs in Stories 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 |
| 3 | Early column creation in Story 0.5 | Major (by standard), Low (in context) | Accept or move to relevant epics |
| 4 | Infrastructure-first stories | Minor | No action -- pragmatic pattern |
| 5 | BulkActionBar coupling | Minor | No action -- independent implementation possible |
| 6 | Partial bulk failure not specified | Minor | Add explicit all-or-nothing AC to Story 4.4 |

## Summary and Recommendations

### Overall Readiness Status

**READY** -- with minor corrections recommended before implementation begins.

The planning artifacts for L'Ami Fiduciaire are comprehensive, well-aligned, and implementation-ready. The PRD, Architecture, UX Design, and Epics documents form a cohesive set with strong traceability between requirements and implementation stories.

### Findings Summary

| Category | Finding | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| **Document Completeness** | All 4 required documents present (PRD, Architecture, UX, Epics) | Pass |
| **FR Coverage** | 58/58 FRs mapped to epics or existing features (100%) | Pass |
| **NFR Coverage** | 28/28 NFRs addressed across epics (particularly Epic 7) | Pass |
| **UX-PRD Alignment** | Strong alignment across all areas; 3 minor discrepancies | Pass (with notes) |
| **UX-Architecture Alignment** | Strong alignment; all UX patterns supported by architecture decisions | Pass |
| **Epic User Value** | 6/8 epics deliver direct user value; 2 are justified enabler epics | Pass (with caveat) |
| **Epic Independence** | Sequential dependencies are logical and documented | Pass |
| **Story Quality** | 36 stories with proper BDD acceptance criteria | Pass |
| **Story Dependencies** | No circular or forward dependencies; clear parallelization opportunities | Pass |

### Critical Issues Requiring Immediate Action

**None.** No blocking issues were identified. The artifacts are ready for implementation.

### Recommended Corrections Before Implementation

These are quick fixes that will prevent confusion during development:

1. **Fix 403 vs 404 in Epic 5 stories (Stories 5.1, 5.2, 5.4)** -- Update acceptance criteria to use `abort(404)` consistently per Architecture NFR9 convention. If 403 is intentional for archived-edit rejection, document as explicit exception. **Effort: 5 minutes.**

2. **Align UX status flow naming with Architecture/PRD** -- The UX spec uses English status names (CREATED, FILED, DOCUMENTS_RECEIVED) while the Architecture uses French (created, en_cours, en_attente_client, termine, ferme). Also clarify whether UX-only states (DOCUMENTS_INCOMPLETE, CLIENT_NOTIFIED) are visual sub-states or need database representation. **Effort: 15 minutes.**

3. **Align UX sidebar navigation items** -- Update UX spec sidebar from "Dashboard, Clients, Dossiers, Fiscal Calendar, Declarations, Settings" to match PRD/Epics: "Dashboard, Clients, Declarations, Archive, Team, Settings." **Effort: 5 minutes.**

4. **Add all-or-nothing clarification to Story 4.4** -- Explicitly state in acceptance criteria that `DB::transaction()` means all declarations succeed or all fail (no partial creation). **Effort: 2 minutes.**

### Strengths Noted

1. **Exceptional FR traceability** -- Every FR has a clear path from PRD → Epic → Story with explicit FR references in each epic and a complete coverage map in the epics document.

2. **Strong brownfield awareness** -- Stories correctly reference existing codebase patterns (Spatie Activity Log, Spatie Media Library, Fortify 2FA, Inertia.js, shadcn-vue) and build on them rather than replacing them.

3. **Measurable NFR targets in stories** -- Stories directly reference NFR benchmarks (e.g., "renders within 3 seconds NFR5", "within 10 seconds NFR2") making them testable during implementation.

4. **Parallelization opportunities** -- Within each epic, Story X.1 is the only blocker; subsequent stories (X.2, X.3, X.4) can often be developed in parallel by the 2-developer team.

5. **Comprehensive UX specification** -- The UX document provides component-level detail (10 custom components with variants, states, accessibility notes), consistent design patterns, and responsive strategy -- reducing design ambiguity during development.

6. **Architecture decision documentation** -- 16+ architecture decisions (D1-D16) with rationale, making it clear WHY specific technical choices were made, not just WHAT was chosen.

### Recommended Next Steps

1. Apply the 4 recommended corrections above (~30 minutes total)
2. Begin sprint planning to sequence epics and assign stories to developers
3. Start implementation with Epic 0 (Foundation Migration) as the required first epic
4. Epic 7 (Production Infrastructure) can be started in parallel with Epics 1-5 since it's independent

### Final Note

This assessment identified **9 issues** across **3 categories** (UX alignment, epic quality, story quality). Of these, **0 are blocking**, **2 are major** (by strict standards but low impact in context), and **7 are minor**. The planning artifacts are production-quality and ready for implementation. The L'Ami Fiduciaire project has strong traceability from requirements through architecture to implementation stories -- a solid foundation for the 2-developer team to execute against.
