Task: Subtask 3-3 - Final consistency review across all documentation Date: 2026-01-29 Status: ✅ PASSED
Comprehensive consistency review completed for the Resume Tokens documentation across:
docs/RESUME_TOKENS_DESIGN.md(6,848 lines)docs/INTAKE_CONTRACT_SPEC.md(2,152 lines)
All verification criteria passed successfully.
Finding: Terminology follows language-specific conventions correctly.
resumeToken(camelCase): Used consistently in TypeScript, JSON, and JavaScript examplesresume_token(snake_case): Used correctly in Python functions and SQL table/column names- "resume token" (prose): Used consistently in English descriptions
rtok_prefix: Used consistently in all example token values
Verdict: No inconsistencies found. Different casing follows established language conventions.
Finding: All code examples follow consistent formatting patterns.
- TypeScript examples use consistent interface definitions
- JSON examples follow the same structural patterns
- HTTP examples show consistent headers and status codes
- All code blocks properly formatted with appropriate syntax hints
Verdict: Formatting is uniform across both documents.
Finding: Cross-checked key concepts across both documents.
| Concept | INTAKE_CONTRACT_SPEC.md | RESUME_TOKENS_DESIGN.md | Match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token format | "opaque strings" | "opaque bearer credentials" | ✓ |
| Expiration error | 410 Gone | 410 Gone | ✓ |
| Default TTL | Delegates to design doc | 7 days | ✓ |

| 10 | MCP tool server supports tokens | INTAKE_CONTRACT_SPEC.md §12.2 RESUME_TOKENS_DESIGN.md §8 |
✓ |
Verdict: All acceptance criteria comprehensively documented.
Finding: Event stream integration is comprehensively documented.
In RESUME_TOKENS_DESIGN.md §9 Event Stream:
- §9.1 Overview
- §9.2 Event Types (token.created, token.accessed, token.updated, token.conflict, token.expired, token.handed_off)
- §9.3 Event Payload Specification
- §9.4 Event Emission Triggers
- §9.5 Event Storage and Replay
- §9.6 Monitoring and Alerting
In INTAKE_CONTRACT_SPEC.md §6 Event Stream:
- Integration events documented (handoff.link_issued, handoff.resumed)
- Cross-references to RESUME_TOKENS_DESIGN.md for token-specific events
Verdict: Event stream comprehensively documented with full lifecycle coverage.
Finding: Bidirectional cross-references are properly implemented.
INTAKE_CONTRACT_SPEC.md → RESUME_TOKENS_DESIGN.md: 8 references
