Developer User Stories

This document contains user stories for the Developer stakeholder role — engineers extending, maintaining, or contributing to the firmware and documentation.

User Story: Modular Firmware Extensibility US_DEV_1
status: implemented
tags: developer, firmware, extensibility
links outgoing: REQ_SYS_ARCH_1
links incoming: SPEC_DEV_OV_INDEX_WHO

Role: Developer

Story: As a developer, I want a modular component structure so that I can add a new sensor or display type without modifying the core application logic.

Value: The component-based architecture allows extending the firmware by adding or replacing components. Existing components serve as reference implementations. The developer is not required to understand the full system to add a new peripheral.

User Story: Traceable Supporting Documentation US_DEV_2

Role: Developer

Story: As a developer, I want README, overview pages and guides to be linked to the specs they describe, so that when a spec changes, supporting docs are automatically in the change impact scope — including which development environments are supported and what known limitations exist.

Value: Without traceability, supporting documentation silently goes stale when specs change. A developer setting up for the first time needs to know which environments are supported (devcontainer / Codespaces — not Windows) and where to find known limitations, without discovering them by trial and error.
