update-spec

To update executable code-spec contracts after a bug fix, automate the documentation refresh process to reflect concrete signatures, payload fields, and boundary behavior. This ensures your specs stay aligned with the corrected code behavior.

Keeping software engineering documentation aligned with design decisions involves updating executable contracts using structured sections and validation checks. This formalizes new insights into your project's code-spec documentation to govern future implementations.

You need to refresh code-spec documentation after completing a task like a feature implementation, bug fix, or debugging session. This captures new contract discoveries and ensures future work adheres to the updated behavior.

Yes, updating code-specs requires a completed task as input to enforce the update process reliably. This prerequisite ensures the structured sections and validation checks have concrete code changes to formalize into the executable contracts.

The best way to maintain executable contracts across backend and frontend code is to apply an automated update process with governance hooks. This refreshes documentation consistently across feature implementations and design decisions.

You should use automated validation checks for code-spec updates to reliably enforce the documentation refresh process. This prevents misalignment between your executable contracts and current application behavior after debugging or implementing features.
