STAGE 01
Keep the whole prototype.
Get every screen and state into the product repository before deciding what is worth keeping.
Complete when
Whole prototype in git; the source material has not been thinned to make the system easier to document.
Not done if
Deleting “duplicate” screens before mapping them; importing only the happy path; beginning cleanup while the source is incomplete.
Evidence before advancement
- Review the whole product scope relevant to this stage, not a hand-picked sample.
- Compare the stage’s stated job with what changed in files, behavior, documentation, and coverage.
- If the evidence falls short, keep the product on this stage rather than advancing the tracker.
- Do not start the next stage’s work merely because the next step is obvious.
Keep the two clocks separate.
The From Prototype stage tracker says which job the product is doing now. Coverage says what portions of the design system are actually resolved. Stage movement is not permission to relabel unresolved coverage.
