Sprint 300 · Documentation & Process

Topic & Scope

• Govern the documentation process ladder, ensuring Docs Tasks Md.I (Sprint 301) and subsequent Md phases stay sequenced and resourced.
• Coordinate module dossier refreshes once Docs Tasks Md ladder has progressed enough to support them.

Dependencies & Concurrency

• Requires upstream enablement from Sprint 100.A (Attestor), Sprint 110.A (Advisory AI), Sprint 120.A (AirGap), Sprint 130.A (Scanner), Sprint 140.A (Graph), Sprint 150.A (Orchestrator), Sprint 160.A (Evidence Locker), Sprint 170.A (Notifier), Sprint 180.A (CLI), and Sprint 190.A (Ops Deployment).
• Streams in the 300 decade stay independent once their prerequisites are met; do not let 300-series sprints depend on each other within the same decade.

Documentation Prerequisites

• docs/implplan/README.md
• docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md
• docs/README.md
