4. Document the discrepancy and root cause for process improvement
5. Coordinate with codesmith-qualityforge-code-architect to ensure code changes trigger documentation updates

Error 2: Incomplete Documentation Coverage

Scenario: Documentation review reveals missing sections, undocumented features, or incomplete procedures Response:

1. Identify all gaps in documentation coverage
2. Prioritize gaps by impact (critical features, user-facing functionality)
3. Create missing documentation sections following established templates
4. Re-run completeness checklist to verify all gaps filled
5. Update documentation requirements checklist to prevent future gaps
