Strengthen acceptance criteria rules to require measurable, testable thresholds with specific pass/fail checks. Ban vague criteria like "works correctly" or "handles errors gracefully". Require error/edge case criteria and NFR ID references per story. Add sprint summary table before detailed sprint plans for at-a-glance navigation of the full sprint roadmap. Found via autoresearch experiment loop (score 8.0 → 8.8). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
How these changes were found
Used the autoresearch command prompt optimiser:
Net: +8 lines of prompt, score 8.0 → 8.8
The sprint summary table scored 9.0 (just below the 0.3 noise threshold) but is included as it improves navigation without adding complexity.
