    preconditions: Provide the reserved operational workspace and a valid mapping.
    steps: Publish a provisioning outcome and process the mapped Slack payload.
    expected: >-
      The pipeline retains recipient-free operational history with a channel-key
      payload and no console delivery.
    negative: false
    data_needs: >-
      Suite-owned records and repeat keys, named recipient identities and
      controlled provider outcomes.

    preconditions: >-
      The Slack adapter repeatedly returns a temporary error for an operational
      delivery.
    steps: 'Exhaust its receive budget, retry from HQ and process the new work.'
    expected: >-
      Only eligible exhausted work is reoffered and its retained delivery
      history explains the recovery.

    preconditions: >-
      Initialize the reserved workspace and use the same provisioning occurrence
      key twice.
    steps: >-
      Ensure the workspace twice, publish the occurrence twice and inspect
      notices and mapped deliveries.
    expected: >-
      Initialization and publication remain idempotent without creating personal
      recipients.

    preconditions: Use a customer workspace and a caller lacking HQ keys.
    steps: >-
      Try the system audience from the customer workspace and inspect HQ routes
      with the restricted caller.
    expected: >-
      The audience produces no customer notice, and the restricted caller cannot
      investigate HQ work.

      Install the operational adapter and retain a personal declaration
      supporting chat.
    steps: Process one operational alert and one personal occurrence.
    expected: >-
      The operational path can use Slack while personal delivery remains
      console-only.
    negative: false

# Rhythm Operational Notifications: Feature Acceptance Suite

## What the Feature Must Do as a Whole

This suite follows the feature from its initial inputs through the outcomes people inspect. Its cases combine capability results so that a change at one stage is checked against the later stages that depend on it.

## Interactions Between Capabilities

Exhaust its receive budget, retry from HQ and process the new work. Only eligible exhausted work is reoffered and its retained delivery history explains the recovery.

The feature cases retain their prerequisite scenario references. A component test alone does not establish execution of the complete feature chain.

## Regression Record

| Revision | Change | Scenario | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | initial | All initial cases | Establish cumulative feature coverage and preserve its dependencies for later revisions. |
