class="headerlink" href="#adr-0061-csv--generated-validation-package-per-release" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h1> <ul> <li><strong>Status:</strong> accepted (realization deferred — post-demo; SBOM P1 (ADR-0062) lands first so the report's SOUP annex has data)</li> <li><strong>Date:</strong> 2026-07-12</li> <li><strong>Deciders:</strong> Nicolas Burri ("I have read your decision proposals and agree with all of them"), on the worked concept in <a href="https://github.com/nburri/lqms/blob/main/docs/planning/csv-validation-package.md">csv-validation-package.md</a>.</li> <li><strong>Relates to:</strong> ADR-0007 (validation evidence), ADR-0018 (targets CSV verifies against), ADR-0049 (templates — the dogfood vehicle), ADR-0060 (rehearsal records as cited evidence), ADR-0062 (SBOM annex); REQ-UI-004 (e2e as CSV regression evidence).</li> <li>Regulatory frame: ISO 13485 §4.1.6 — the validation duty sits with the CUSTOMER (proportionate to risk, before initial use and after changes, records per §4.2.5); the supplier ships a package that turns that duty into a days-not-months, mostly-review exercise. LQMS itself is not medical-device software; the package borrows GAMP-5/IQ-OQ-PQ vocabulary because that is what customers' auditors expect.</li> </ul> <h2 id="decision">Decision<a class="headerlink" href="#decision" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <ol> <li><strong>Supplier artifact (C-V1a):</strong> the traceability generator gains a <code>validation-report</code> mode (one tool, one identity — D-3) producing, per tagged release, one self-contained document: system identification (version/SHA/image digest), requirements baseline in force, matrix snapshot with explicit gaps, CI evidence references per gate, the <strong>requirement delta vs the previous baseline</strong> (the change-based-revalidation scoper — the Confluence-killer), SOUP/SBOM annex + dependency delta (ADR-0062), known limitations, approval stub. Deterministic (same tag → same report). Home: <code>docs/validation/<tag>/</code> + attached to the GitHub release; PDF later via the same pipeline (D-1).</li> <li><strong>Customer kit:</strong> intended-use specification + tool-risk assessment as <strong>seeded TEMPLATE documents in LQMS itself</strong> (C-V2a, ADR-0049); IQ = deploy runbook + smoke output + first backup-rehearsal record (checklist page, no new artifact); PQ protocol formalized from DEMO.md's beat structure, executable against a seeded validation scope (C-V3a).</li> <li><strong>First customer is us (D-2):</strong> the operating organization instantiates the intended-use + risk templates for its own use of LQMS — the first real controlled documents authored in the tool (dogfood + the worked example customers copy).</li> <li><strong>Norm-text rule (D-5, standing convention):</strong> package documents (and all repo docs) PARAPHRASE licensed standards with clause citations only; <code>/norms</code> stays git-ignored. Recorded in conventions.md.</li> </ol> <h2 id="consequences">Consequences<a class="headerlink" href="#consequences" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <ul> <li>Sequencing (D-4): C-V1 first (mostly generator plumbing, demo-able), C-V2 as the first real controlled documents, C-V3 opportunistic; all post-demo, none blocks current work.</li> <li>The revalidation story becomes: customer reads the report delta, re-runs the affected PQ steps, records — self-hosted deployment means the validated state changes only when the customer upgrades.</li> <li>Realization detail lives in the planning doc; this ADR pins the decisions so the arc survives until scheduled.</li> </ul> </article> </div> <script>var target=document.getElementById(location.hash.slice(1));target&&target.name&&(target.checked=target.name.startsWith("__tabbed_"))</script> </div> <button type="button" class="md-top md-icon" data-md-component="top" hidden> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M13 20h-2V8l-5.5 5.5-1.42-1.42L12 4.16l7.92 7.92-1.42 1.42L13 8z"/></svg> Back to top </button> </main> <footer class="md-footer"> <nav class="md-footer__inner md-grid" aria-label="Footer" > <a href="../adr-0060-backup-restore-mechanism/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--prev" aria-label="Previous: ADR-0060: Backup & Restore — Scripted Ordered Backup with Automated Restore Rehearsal"> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M20 11v2H8l5.5 5.5-1.42 1.42L4.16 12l7.92-7.92L13.5 5.5 8 11z"/></svg> </div> <div class="md-footer__title"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Previous </span> <div class="md-ellipsis"> ADR-0060: Backup & Restore — Scripted Ordered Backup with Automated Restore Rehearsal </div> </div> </a> <a href="../adr-0062-sbom-posture/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--next" aria-label="Next: ADR-0062: SBOM — CycloneDX over the Production Layers, Validated Against the Artifact"> <div class="md-footer__title"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Next </span> <div class="md-ellipsis"> ADR-0062: SBOM — CycloneDX over the Production Layers, Validated Against the Artifact </div> </div> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M4 11v2h12l-5.5 5.5 1.42 1.42L19.84 12l-7.92-7.92L10.5 5.5 16 11z"/></svg> </div> </a> </nav> <div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"> <div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"> <div class="md-copyright"> <div class="md-copyright__highlight"> Built from <code>v0.9.56-4-g06c7f811</code> (commit <code>06c7f811</code>, 2026-09-09) — the same Markdown the repository ships. </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <div class="md-dialog" data-md-component="dialog"> <div class="md-dialog__inner md-typeset"></div> </div> <script id="__config" type="application/json">{"base": "../..", "features": ["navigation.instant", "navigation.tracking", "navigation.top", "navigation.footer", "navigation.indexes", "toc.follow", "search.suggest", "search.highlight", "content.code.copy", "content.action.edit"], "search": "../../assets/javascripts/workers/search.6ce7567c.min.js", "translations": {"clipboard.copied": "Copied to clipboard", "clipboard.copy": "Copy to clipboard", "search.result.more.one": "1 more on this page", "search.result.more.other": "# more on this page", "search.result.none": "No matching documents", "search.result.one": "1 matching document", "search.result.other": "# matching documents", "search.result.placeholder": "Type to start searching", "search.result.term.missing": "Missing", "select.version": "Select version"}}</script> <script src="../../assets/javascripts/bundle.83f73b43.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
