Context

Every milestone has its own exit criteria, and CI verifies the suite on every push. What
none of that establishes is whether the finished product actually works on a real family
collection at real scale â€” which is the only question v1.0.0 genuinely turns on.

Scope

A full acceptance pass over the complete feature set against a real collection.

Implementation notes

Verify the acceptance criteria from all four phases in docs/circa-spec.md section 14,
as a checklist, against the built software.
Run against a real collection of meaningful size, not seeded fixtures. Real scans carry
the messy filenames, missing backs, odd EXIF, and genuine near-duplicates that fixtures
never reproduce â€” those are exactly the cases worth finding before declaring 1.0.
Walk the complete journey: scan, ingest, AI and OCR analysis, review, resolve duplicates,
propagate constraints, dispute and resolve with a second reviewer, back up, and export.
Verify the export output independently of Circa: check the manifest hashes, confirm EXIF
dates read correctly in a normal photo application, and confirm the folder structure
matches the spec.
Exercise restore from backup into a scratch environment, proving the backup is real.
Record anything found as issues rather than fixing in place, so the trail is preserved.
Measure how long reviewing a batch actually takes â€” if the workflow is too slow to be
used at collection scale, that is a v1.0.0 finding regardless of correctness.
Confirm the review history has been preserved intact throughout: no lost decisions, no
broken provenance chains, no missing audit events.

Done when

Every phase acceptance criterion is verified against the built software
The full journey completes on a real collection
Export output is verified independently of Circa
Restore from backup is proven in a scratch environment
Review history and audit trail are confirmed intact
Findings are recorded as issues and triaged before release
