# Requirements: v1.61 Research Taste And Physical Intuition Surface

## Milestone Goal

Close the first production slice of backlog `999.22` by giving AITP a durable
runtime surface for research taste, preferred formalisms, physical intuition,
and surprise-handling guidance.

## Shipped Requirements

- [x] `REQ-TASTE-01`: AITP materializes a topic-scoped `research_taste`
  artifact that exposes route taste, elegance signals, formalism preferences,
  intuition signals, and surprise-handling guidance.
- [x] `REQ-TASTE-02`: operators can record structured research-taste entries
  through real production service and CLI entrypoints.
- [x] `REQ-TASTE-03`: runtime/status surfaces and the progressive-disclosure
  bundle expose `research_taste` as a first-class durable surface.
- [x] `REQ-VERIFY-01`: the milestone closes with targeted regressions,
  maintainability-budget verification, and a green full knowledge-hub suite.

## Final Traceability

| Requirement | Assigned Phase | Final Status | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `REQ-TASTE-01` | `115`, `116` | validated | `research_taste.active.json/md` plus helper/service tests |
| `REQ-TASTE-02` | `116` | validated | `record-taste` and `taste-profile` service/CLI paths |
| `REQ-TASTE-03` | `116` | validated | `topic_status`, runtime bundle, and schema exposure |
| `REQ-VERIFY-01` | `117` | validated | targeted regression slice, maintainability gate, and full suite |
