| In a full trace, a chain ends at [terminating specification items](../../terminology.md#terminating-specification-item)—items that do not require further coverage (such as source code or test markers without a `Needs:` declaration). | ||
|
|
||
| When you trace with an artifact type filter, OFT strips all coverage requirements for artifact types that are not in the filter list. For instance, when Soeren runs `oft trace -a feat,req doc/`, a system requirement that normally declares `Needs: arch` has its `arch` requirement removed during the trace. This *artificially terminates* the requirement items at the boundary of the selected artifact types, allowing the trace to pass without missing-coverage errors for downstream artifacts that have not yet been written. |
