refactor(sdd): make the feature spec issue-only (no committed spec.md)
The Gitea issue body is the single source of truth for a spec; the only per-feature artifact in git is the RTM row (REQ-ID -> issue # -> test). Drops per-feature spec.md/tasks.md/checklist files from the workflow (the _example stays as a template/reference). Updates the guide, ADR-041, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, templates, the RTM (adds an Issue column), the implement/review-pr skills, and replaces the file-spec CI jobs with an rtm-check.

1. **EARS requirements.** Every feature requirement is written in one of the five EARS
|
||||
patterns and carries a per-feature `REQ-NNN` id. (constitution §3; templates/feature-spec.md)
|
||||
2. **OpenSpec-style delta artifacts.** Each in-flight feature gets a `.specify/features/<name>/`
|
||||
directory holding `spec.md`, `design.md`, optional `api-contract.yaml` / `threat-model.md`
|
||||
/ feature-local ADRs, `tasks.md`, and `checklist-results.md`. Artifacts are deltas focused
|
||||
on one change, archived when the feature ships.
|
||||
2. **The spec lives in the Gitea issue body — issue-only, no committed `spec.md`.** A feature's
|
||||
spec (EARS requirements, acceptance criteria, scope) is authored and reviewed in the Gitea
|
||||
issue, the single source of truth (consistent with the established "issue body is the source
|
||||
of truth / don't commit standalone spec files" practice). The only per-feature artifact in
|
||||
git is the RTM row (`REQ-ID → issue # → test`). Durable design decisions still get a
|
||||
`docs/adr/` ADR; an OpenAPI contract or STRIDE threat model is drafted inline in the issue
|
||||
using the `.specify/templates/` as writing aids. `.specify/features/_example/` is a committed
|
||||
template/reference, not a live feature.
|
||||
3. **A constitution + AGENTS.md.** `.specify/constitution.md` records the few non-negotiable
|
||||
rules (semantically versioned); `.specify/AGENTS.md` is the short machine-readable file AI
|
||||
agents read every invocation, cross-referencing the constitution rather than duplicating it.
|
||||
4. **Persona checklists.** `.specify/personas/*.md` turn the existing rich personas into
|
||||
concise, EARS-aware, pass/fail spec-review checklists that gate a spec before code.
|
||||
5. **Living RTM + CI gate.** `.specify/rtm.md` traces every `REQ-NNN`; `.gitea/workflows/sdd-gate.yml`
|
||||
lints spec structure, validates contracts, and checks traceability (non-blocking initially).
|
||||
5. **Living RTM + CI gate.** `.specify/rtm.md` traces every `REQ-NNN` to its issue and test;
|
||||
`.gitea/workflows/sdd-gate.yml` validates any committed OpenAPI contract, lints any committed
|
||||
spec (e.g. the `_example`), reports constitution-change impact, and surfaces RTM drift
|
||||
(non-blocking initially).
|
||||
6. **Reuse, don't duplicate.** ADRs stay in `docs/adr/`; persona checklists reference
|
||||
`.claude/personas/`; the Gitea issue templates mirror the feature-spec template.
