• Req-FR-4: gRPC connection establishment at startup
• Req-FR-7: Wait for gRPC before HTTP polling
• Req-FR-8: "HSP started successfully" log message
• Req-NFR-6: Fat JAR packaging

⚠️ PARTIAL (16 requirements):

• Multiple requirements have implementations but fail tests or lack complete functionality

---

• Verification: Test FileLoggingAdapterTest passes (11/11)

✅ Req-Arch-4: Java Logging API with rotation (100MB, 5 files)

Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED Evidence:

• File: FileLoggingAdapter.java lines 60-67

FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler(
