Auto-Promotion Success ✅

The CANARY scanner successfully detected all TEST= field links and automatically promoted the requirements from IMPL to TESTED status!

Promotion Evidence:

# Before: All requirements at STATUS=IMPL
# After: 20 requirements promoted to STATUS=TESTED

# Scan results confirm:
TESTED:  52 total (includes spec-kit + main canary project)
IMPL:    31 remaining
BENCHED:  6 total

🎯 Key Metrics

  • Total Requirements: 43 spec-kit requirements
