PACS Adapter Implementation Checklist

Version: 1.0

Template for tracking implementation progress of device adapters.

This grid is an informal progress tracker, not the source of truth. The authoritative list of capabilities an adapter must cover is reference/capability-catalog.md (it drives the directed survey and capabilities-coverage.yaml); completion is decided by definition-of-done.md. When they disagree, those win.
