Water Treatment Plant — post-validation QC clears final gate

System

{{entity:Water Treatment Plant}} post-validation QC session, completing the full decomposition lifecycle: scaffold → decomposition (6 sessions) → QC → validation → post-validation QC. The project spans 10 subsystems, 50 classified components, 234 requirements, 228 trace links, and 13 diagrams across 6 standard documents.

Findings

The validation session (session-213) added 11 artefacts: 1 interface requirement ({{ifc:IFC-DEFS-049}}), 1 subsystem requirement ({{sub:SUB-REQS-081}}), 2 duplicate markers ({{sub:SUB-REQS-079}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-080}}), and 7 verification entries ({{sub:VER-METHODS-063}} through {{sub:VER-METHODS-069}}). All 11 were orphaned — zero trace links existed for any validation-session artefact.

{{ifc:IFC-DEFS-049}} (PAC injection to {{entity:Rapid Mix Chamber}}) and {{sub:SUB-REQS-081}} (storm-response coagulation dose escalation) both lacked rationale despite containing specific engineering parameters.

Lint reported 6 findings (0 high, 3 medium, 3 low). All 3 medium findings — basin as engineering unit qualifier, {{sub:SUB-REQS-056}} manual override flagged as degraded mode, and {{sub:ARC-DECISIONS-007}} degraded mode in architecture rationale — were previously acknowledged in sessions 210–211. The 3 low findings (ontological ambiguity between the abstract system entity and physical subsystems, plus “shall” keyword absence in ARC decisions and VER entries) are structurally expected.

13 orphaned requirements remain, all justified: 10 architecture decision records (not traceable by design), plus the 3 duplicate-flagged entries ({{sub:SUB-REQS-077}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-079}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-080}}).

Verification coverage stands at 53% of SUB+IFC requirements (69/130), meeting the 50% threshold. {{sub:SUB-REQS-052}} (PLC autonomous control, the authoritative version of the duplicate chain) was also found unlinked and traced to {{sys:SYS-REQS-008}}.

Corrections

Created 9 trace links for validation-session artefacts:

  • {{sys:SYS-REQS-012}} → {{ifc:IFC-DEFS-049}} (derives) and → {{sub:SUB-REQS-081}} (derives)
  • {{ifc:IFC-DEFS-049}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-063}} (verifies)
  • {{sub:SUB-REQS-009}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-064}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-015}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-065}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-030}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-066}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-023}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-067}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-055}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-068}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-062}} → {{sub:VER-METHODS-069}} (all verifies)

Created 1 additional trace link: {{sys:SYS-REQS-008}} → {{sub:SUB-REQS-052}} (derives) — the authoritative PLC autonomy requirement had no parent link.

Added rationale to {{ifc:IFC-DEFS-049}} (PAC must contact water before coagulant to preserve adsorption capacity; 2-second separation from AWWA guidance) and {{sub:SUB-REQS-081}} (60-second response prevents high-turbidity slug from passing rapid mix; staged G-value profile follows tapered flocculation practice).

Acknowledged 4 orphan categories as by-design: duplicate markers, architecture decision records, and the duplicate-flagged {{sub:SUB-REQS-077}}.

Residual

No unresolved issues. All validation-session artefacts now have proper trace links and rationale. The 13 orphans are all justified (architecture records and duplicate markers). Systemic gaps (155 requirements without rationale, 153 without verification attribute across older sessions) are pre-existing and were not introduced by validation — they are outside the scope of this post-validation pass.

Next

Water Treatment Plant is complete. The next session should select a new system from the seed list, prioritising an unrepresented domain.
