Conductor v0.1.0 Requirements Traceability
Purpose
This matrix maps every release-critical requirement area in docs/REQUIREMENTS.md and every approved workflow in MVP_SCOPE.md to an owning slice and acceptance evidence. It is the governance bridge between product requirements, implementation plans, and validation. Detailed field-level behavior remains authoritative in the linked schema and topic documents.

Explicit post-MVP classifications
The following capabilities are not release requirements. Their presence in future-oriented requirements or architecture text does not block v0.1.0:
- Provider-neutral AI assistance, including chat, generation, explanation, documentation, and refactoring
- IBM Bob, watsonx, or any provider-specific AI dependency
- OIDC/enterprise SSO, external identity provisioning, and claim/group mapping (Slice 9)
- Multi-page authoring and advanced page management
- Direct Dropdown-triggered REST execution and general action chaining/orchestration
- Conditions, branches, loops, parallelism, retries, workflow graphs, and long-running task orchestration
- OAuth 2.0, IBM Cloud IAM, mTLS, and custom authentication scripts
- OpenAPI import and generated React/static/deployment-package output
- Per-action timeout and expected-response-format controls
- Binding transforms, expression languages, and configurable per-binding error policies
- Canvas zoom/pan, undo/redo, advanced JSON-editor tooling, themes, and reusable component libraries
- Tabs, modals, date pickers, file uploads, charts, progress indicators, and advanced Table capabilities
- RBAC, team collaboration, approval workflows, enterprise audit retention, and SIEM integration
- PostgreSQL/high-availability/centralized multi-user deployment
Governance rule
MVP_SCOPE.md controls the release boundary. A new capability becomes release-blocking only through an explicit product-owner scope decision followed by updates to this matrix, ROADMAP.md, the owning slice, and its validation criteria. Aspirational or compatibility-only schema text does not silently expand v0.1.0.
