Generally looks like normal practice to me, too. Instructions about if a tool breaks, all bits must be accounted for are perfectly understandable. For spacecraft applications, it is quite usual for each joint to be double-inspected, ie inspected by two different people, before being covered over by heatshrink, connector backshell, etc.
A job where this specification is applicable, will be heavily managed, and the customer would expect to see evidence that relevant sections have been complied with. The benefit of documenting it all, is that it then becomes a contractual condition giving cause for rejection if the wiring is not to spec. And you can be sure that NASA Quality representatives would be frequent visitors, whether such a job was being done in-house or by external subcontractors.
