Are you preparing expository text intended as an introduction to
regression analysis for persons who have not encountered it before?
If so, this is really overkill, and will only distract students from
trying to solve problems using regression analysis.
Are you trying to summarize what you think YOU have learned about
regression analysis, from the references you cite at the end of your
post? If so, it rather looks as though you may not have understood what
some of those authors were trying to communicate; and are construing
other points far too rigidly.
Editing your magnum opus would require a fair investment of time and
energy on any of our parts (as evidenced in the several excellent
responses you have already received), and one would really like to
suppose that the effort was, in some sense, worth while and, in some
sense, unlikely to be wasted effort.

What kind of project? How is your list of assumptions related to it?

As some respondents have attempted to make clear, probably most of
them are. But it may depend on what your purpose(s) is(are).

Not clear what you're asking. Do you want data for which a given
assumption is explictly met, or explicitly violated? Or, do you want to
know what software packages deal, explicitlyor otherwise, with a given
assumption?
