Status Lifecycle

Every SPECLAN entity follows a defined status progression:

draft → review → approved → in-development → under-test → released → deprecated

Status Rules

  • draft: Initial state. Freely editable.
  • review: Submitted for review. Editable with caution.
  • approved: Implementation can begin. Still editable — last chance to refine before development starts.
  • in-development: Active implementation. Locked — changes require a Change Request to avoid moving targets.
  • under-test: Implementation complete, testing in progress. Locked — changes require a Change Request.
  • released: Verified and shipped. Locked — changes require a Change Request for the next development cycle.
  • deprecated: No longer active.
