Validate traceability by verifying that requirements map to atomic specs and all acceptance criteria map back to requirements. This convergence check ensures the REQ-to-atomic spec-to-implementation-to-test chains are complete, intact, and auditable before code reviews.

Spec group convergence is the validation that requirements, specs, atomic specs, implementations, and tests are complete and consistently aligned. You need to check it after implementation and testing to confirm comprehensive readiness for code reviews and merges.

Enforce quality gating by validating spec group convergence to confirm readiness before merges in multi-workstream environments. This requires checking that manifest review_state is APPROVED, atomic_specs enforcement_status is passing, and work_state is VERIFYING.

Spec convergence validation does not work without an approved manifest review state. It enforces that manifest.review_state is APPROVED, atomic_specs.enforcement_status is passing, and work_state is VERIFYING before allowing comprehensive traceability validation.

The best way to verify implementation evidence alignment is to validate end-to-end convergence checks across the spec group directory. This ensures that every requirement traces directly through atomic specs to the implementation and test evidence without missing links.
