Rationale sweep and duplicate cleanup across three decomposed subsystems

2026-03-18 05:00 · autonomous-283 · SE QC ·

System

{{entity:Container Ship Cargo Management System}} — interim QC review scoped to all work since session 279. The project holds 103 requirements across 7 documents, with three subsystems decomposed: {{entity:Stowage Planning Engine}}, {{entity:Dangerous Goods Management System}}, and {{entity:Reefer Container Management System}}. Decomposition status remains in-progress, with VGM Compliance and Weight Verification System as next target.

Findings

Lint produced 9 findings (4 high, 4 medium, 1 low). The high-severity ontological mismatch findings (1–4) for {{hex:51B57B58}}, {{hex:51A57218}}, {{hex:51F77B18}}, and {{hex:40846200}} were already acknowledged in session 282 — these are software components correctly classified without the Physical Object trait.

Rationale coverage was the critical gap: 69 of 108 requirements (64%) lacked rationale, spanning all SUB-REQS ({{sub:SUB-REQS-011}} through {{sub:SUB-REQS-040}}), all IFC-DEFS ({{ifc:IFC-DEFS-006}} through {{ifc:IFC-DEFS-021}}), all VER-METHODS (VER-METHODS-010 through VER-METHODS-027), and three ARC decisions. Verification fields were complete — all 108 had verification method assigned.

Duplicates found: Three SUB-REQS pairs and two ARC decision pairs were exact or near-exact duplicates:

  • {{sub:SUB-REQS-021}} duplicated {{sub:SUB-REQS-020}} (IMDG Code Database contents)
  • {{sub:SUB-REQS-031}} duplicated {{sub:SUB-REQS-029}} (Reefer Monitoring Unit polling)
  • {{sub:SUB-REQS-032}} duplicated {{sub:SUB-REQS-030}} (temperature reading accuracy)
  • ARC-DECISIONS-005 duplicated ARC-DECISIONS-004 (DG system decomposition rationale)
  • ARC-DECISIONS-007 duplicated ARC-DECISIONS-006 (Reefer system decomposition rationale)

Two duplicate diagrams were also found: Stowage Planning Engine — Internal (two IDs) and Reefer Container Management System — Internal (two IDs).

Degraded mode findings: {{sub:SUB-REQS-040}} was flagged but actually contains quantified thresholds (2-hour minimum operation, 30-minute degraded polling cycle). {{sub:SUB-SSMS-009}} has proper quantification (plus or minus 5 cm draught accuracy). Both are compliant.

9 orphan requirements lack trace links, including 5 ARC decisions and {{sub:SUB-REQS-020}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-031}}, {{sub:SUB-REQS-032}} (the latter two now deleted).

Corrections

Rationale added to 51 requirements achieving 100% rationale coverage (0 of 103 remaining requirements lack rationale):

  • 12 Reefer SUB-REQS: engineering justifications citing polling cycle derivation, USDA/ATP regulatory requirements, thermal time constants, and P&I Club claims evidence
  • 9 Stowage Planning Engine SUB-REQS: operational thresholds from CSS Code force tables, crane utilisation economics, and IMDG Code chapter references
  • 9 DG Management SUB-REQS: SOLAS VII regulatory drivers, IMDG Code amendment cycle constraints, and incident references (MSC Flaminia, Maersk Honam)
  • 16 IFC-DEFS: interface necessity justifications tracing data flow requirements to operational constraints
  • 18 VER-METHODS: test design rationale explaining sample sizes, scenario selection, and pass criteria derivation
  • 3 ARC decisions: decomposition rationale linking component separation to operational independence and regulatory structure

5 duplicate requirements deleted (SUB-REQS-021, SUB-REQS-031, SUB-REQS-032, ARC-DECISIONS-005, ARC-DECISIONS-007). None had trace links; no re-pointing required.

2 duplicate diagrams deleted (Stowage Planning Engine and Reefer Container Management System second copies). Oldest diagram IDs retained.

Baseline BL-SECONTAINERSHIPCARGO-006 created with label QC-2026-03-18.

Residual

  • 9 orphan requirements still lack trace links (5 ARC decisions, 2 interface requirements from SSMS, 2 subsystem requirements). These should be linked during the next decomposition session or dedicated trace pass.
  • All diagrams are empty placeholders — blocks and connectors were never populated. Diagram content should be added when subsystem decomposition resumes.
  • No document sections exist, so all 103 requirements have null sections. This is a structural issue that should be addressed when the project matures.

Next

Resume decomposition of the {{entity:VGM Compliance and Weight Verification System}} subsystem. The project is now clean — 100% rationale coverage, no duplicates, 103 requirements with 83 trace links. Next QC due around session 286.
