+- All tasks in the workstream have been finished, found unnecessary or been transfered to another workstream
+- All referenced requirements have been adressed with nothing relevent missing or documented as out of scope with a stated reason
+- Relevant usecases have been captured in automated tests so that future changes can be tested to not break prior functionality unintendedly
+- The Repos README.txt and other documentation has been updated to optimize reusability for agents and humans
+- All tests can be run successfully 
+- Everything is properly checked in.
