Close Spec

A spec is a build plan while you're building and a rationale record once you've shipped. Closing flips it from one to the other. The plan was a ladder of slices and predictions; the record is the layer of meaning the code can't hold — why this exists, what it must never break, what you tried that failed. The code is the single source of truth for how; the closed spec is the source of truth for why, and a map into the code.

Do not summarize the implementation. Anyone can read the code. If a paragraph restates what a function does, cut it and point at the function instead.

Workflow

1. Confirm it shipped. The feature is merged or working in-tree and its tests/screenshot gates are green. If slices remain unverified, it isn't done — finish or review first.
