# Backend — PROGRESS (Phase 1: Inventory & Supply Chain)

Legend: `[ ]` not started · `[~]` in progress · `[x]` done
Spec: `docs/10-BACKEND-PHASE1.md` (model + rules) · `docs/11-BACKEND-PHASE1.md` (API)
Convention: `docs/01-DOC-GUIDE.md §6`. Update this file in the **same commit** as the code. When ticking `[x]`, append a short note + any deviation.

## Per-variant content size (2026-08-11) — follow-up to the UOM re-model below

The UOM re-model put `ContentQty`/`ContentUnit` on `Item` correctly, but the item **create page
is a variant builder** and collected **one** form-level pair, copying it into every generated
variant. Building "Coca-Cola in 500 ml / 1 L / 250 ml" produced three items all recorded as the
same size — the exact case the builder exists for. The item contract already accepted a
per-item pair, so the whole fix is in how values are captured.

- **`ItemType.IsMeasurable`** (bool, default `false`) — set on Products → Item Types. A flagged
  dimension's values are entered as a number + unit; the chip label, the SKU segment, the item
  name and the stored content size all derive from that one pair. Unflagged dimensions are
  unchanged free text, which is what an apparel `Size` (S/M/L) needs.
- **`UpdateItemTypeRequest.IsMeasurable` is `bool?` and preserved when omitted.** A plain `bool`
  binds an absent property as `false`, so the admin screen's name-only PUT would have cleared the
  flag on every rename — the same bug class already recorded for `product-config` further down.
- **The `BUILDER_ITEM_TYPES = ["color","size"]` hardcode is gone.** It had one consumer and had
  become a live bug: a user-created "Pack Size" would be flagged measurable and then never
  appear. Removal is behaviour-preserving on any current database (the seeder seeds exactly those
  two names, and the fetch was already `status: Active`) and restores the documented contract
  that users add their own types. Every Active item type is now offered; deactivation is the
  intended remedy and the admin page already says so.
- **SKU collision fixed before it could bite.** `skuSegment` strips the decimal point and
  truncates to 3, so derived labels collided — `1.5L`/`15L` → `15L`, `500ml`/`500g` → `500`,
  `2.5ml`/`25ml` → `25M`. Since the create loop is sequential and non-transactional, that would
  have failed partway with `SKU_DUPLICATE` after creating some rows. Measurement segments now use
  `measureKey`, which mirrors `ItemContent.Normalize` (L/Kg ×1000) and renders the point as `P`.
- **Values dedupe on the normalised size, not the label** — `500 ml` and `0.5 L` read differently
  but store identically, and `ItemContent.Normalize` is the server's notion of equality.
- **At most one measurable dimension** per product: unchecked measurable types are disabled once
  one is checked, re-checked at submit.
- **The form-level pair survives as a fallback** — correct when the varying dimension isn't size —
  and is hidden *and cleared* whenever a measurable dimension is active, so the two can never
  disagree. Its validation is skipped in that mode, since its error message would otherwise be
  invisible inside the hidden block.
- The item **edit** page is untouched: one item, one size.

## UOM re-model (2026-08-11) — supersedes every "UOM conversion" note below

Per-item UOM conversion is **gone**. Entries further down this file that describe
`IUomConverter`, `PUT /items/{id}/uom-conversions`, `uom_conversions`, or a line-level
`uomId` are historical and no longer describe the code.

What replaced it:

- **One unit per item.** `Item.BaseUomId` is the pack an item is stocked and counted in, and
  every quantity in the system — stock layers, ledger rows, GRN/PO/sales/bundle/transfer lines
  — is a plain count of it. A differently sized pack is a different item. `UomId` was dropped
  from all six document-line entities; `Uom` itself survives as the lookup.
- **Optional content size on `Item`**: `ContentQty` + `ContentUnit` as entered (`Ml|L|G|Kg`),
  normalised on write into `ContentBaseQty` + `ContentBaseUnit` (only ever `Ml` or `G`, L/Kg
  ×1000). All four null ⇒ nothing measurable to hold. `ItemContent` is the pure normaliser.
- **Production is the only content consumer.** `StageInput.QtyUnit` (`Pack|Content`) says what
  `QtyPerBatch` means; `IItemMeasure` divides a `Content` quantity by the item's content size
  to get packs. **Fractional packs are legal** — 300 ml of a 500 ml bottle consumes 0.6000.
  Outputs are always pack counts, so scrap stays in whole broken bottles.
- **WIP keeps a label.** `StageOutput.UomId`/`RunStageOutput.UomId` are now nullable and
  required *only* when `ItemId` is null (`422 WIP_UNIT_REQUIRED`), since an item-bearing output
  takes its unit from the item. WIP never touches stock, so the label is never converted.
- **Two live defects fixed as a consequence.** `SalesPostingService` injected `IUomConverter`
  and never called it, so a sales line in a non-base UOM consumed the wrong quantity outright;
  `GrnService` accrued `poLine.QtyReceived += line.Qty` and range-checked over-receipt across
  the same unit boundary. Both are now like-for-like by construction.
- **`BaseUomId` is frozen once an item has stock history** (`409 MASTER_IN_USE`) — it is the
  sole meaning of every recorded quantity, so changing it would silently reinterpret all of it.
- Smoke: `m4b_uom_conversion.py` deleted; `m4c_content_units.py` added (whole packs, fractional
  packs, and the contentless-item guard).

## 8. Sales
- [x] Sales bootstrap data seeded locally for development: warehouses, UOMs, categories, items, customers, current-year `SI`/`SSL` sequences, plus sample invoice/slip headers and lines. Existing data is preserved.
- [x] Sales report API consolidated into `GET /api/v1/reports/sales` (catalog), `GET /api/v1/reports/sales/{reportId}` (report metadata), and `POST /api/v1/reports/sales/query` (filtered data). Legacy per-report GET routes removed; invalid report/filter combinations now fail validation.
- [x] Free-issue CRUD exposed as `api/v1/free-issues` as a thin alias over sales slips. Free issue remains a line-level `IsFreeIssue` / `FreeQty` behavior, not a separate table.

## 0. Bootstrap
- [x] Solution + Web API project (`net10.0`), packages restored (00-CORE §5.4)
- [x] Folder structure per 00-CORE §5.3
- [x] `ErpDbContext` + Npgsql wired; `InitialCreate` migration **created and applied** (2026-07-10, 8 master-data tables). `/health` → `Healthy`.
- [x] Serilog, JWT, Swagger, HealthChecks, ProblemDetails in `Program.cs` — JWT bearer now validates **RS256** tokens from the external **AuthHex IdP** (issuer `AuthHex` / audience `AuthHexClient` / static RSA public key). v1 endpoints `[Authorize]`-gated via the `ErpAccess` door policy (§6); `/health`, `/api/meta`, Swagger stay anonymous.
- [x] `IUnitOfWork` + `UnitOfWork` (transaction boundary)
- [x] Generic repository base + interfaces
- [x] `ICurrentUser` (audit stamp from token identity claim `nameid`/`sub`) — with AuthHex the actor comes from the `UserId` GUID → local shadow user (`nameid` injected by the §6 provisioning step)
- [x] ProblemDetails middleware + domain exception → `code` mapping (System/Errors; full §7 catalog added to `ErrorCodes`)

## 1. Master Data
> Code complete for all items below (2026-07-09). **Live smoke test PASSED against Postgres (2026-07-10):** create/get/list/update/status/reorder/uom-conversions across all 5 controllers; ETag round-trip 200 / stale→412 / missing→428; SKU_DUPLICATE→400; bad reference→422; missing-field→400 ValidationProblemDetails; category `?tree=true` nesting (**that endpoint was removed on 2026-07-16** — categories no longer nest; see the entry at the end of this section); `pageSize=9999` clamped to 200; deactivate via PATCH status→204. **Flipped `[x]` on 2026-07-14** — the §6 security gate (00-CORE §8: auth control 02-SECURITY B.1 + audit trail B.3) is now met (AuthHex RS256 validation + `[Authorize]` door policy + shadow-user provisioning, and the audit trail). The dated smoke-test notes in §2–§5 that reference a pending "§6 gate" are historical.
- [x] Item: entity + config + enums (StockNature [ex-ItemType], TrackingMode; EntityStatus added) — `xmin`/RowVersion concurrency token (Npgsql), unique SKU
- [x] Item: repository (generic) + service + controller (CRUD, narrow DTOs, ETag/If-Match→412, SKU_DUPLICATE, reference validation) — server-controlled fields excluded (02-SECURITY C.1)
- [x] UOM + UOM conversions (`GET/POST /uoms`, `PUT /items/{id}/uom-conversions` full-replace upsert)
- [x] Category — **rebuilt 2026-07-16 as a two-level Category/SubCategory model** (was a self-nesting tree); full CRUD + status + ETag, which it previously lacked entirely
- [x] Vendor (CRUD, ETag/If-Match, unique code, deactivate via `PATCH /vendors/{id}/status`)
- [x] Warehouse + Bin (`/warehouses`, nested `/warehouses/{id}/bins`, bin code unique per warehouse)
- [x] Item reorder settings (`PUT /items/{id}/reorder` full-replace upsert, warehouse-exists validation)
- [x] Brand master (FR-MD-09) — CRUD + status + ETag; `Item.brandId` nullable FK
- [x] Item Type master (FR-MD-10) — CRUD + status + ETag; **unreferenced by design**. Feeds the builder's dimension list, and since 2026-08-11 carries `isMeasurable`, which decides whether its values are captured as free text or as a number + unit that becomes each item's content size (see the entry at the top of this file)
- [x] SubCategory (FR-MD-04) — nested list/create under a category, `PUT`/`PATCH status` by id; `Item.subCategoryId` nullable FK, validated to belong to `categoryId`
- [x] Product Configuration (FR-MD-11) — singleton `GET`/`PUT /product-config`; `CONFIG_DISABLED` gating on item writes
- [x] Item **sale price** (FR-MD-01, 2026-07-22) — nullable `Item.SalePrice` (`numeric(18,4)`); on all Item DTOs (list/detail/create/update), validated `>= 0`. **Sales-only** — never enters GRN/FIFO/ledger. `null` ⇒ sell at stock value. Migration `AddItemSalePrice`. See the 2026-07-22 Done entry.

> ### 2026-07-16 — Brands, Subcategories, Item Types, Product Config (migration #2)
> Makes real three concepts the frontend had been faking on mock data (`Frontend/erp-system/lib/api/mock-data.ts`), per docs/10 §B.3.1 FR-MD-09/10/11 and docs/11 §2.3/2.6/2.7/2.8.
>
> **Deviations / decisions (all recorded in docs/10 §B.8.4 #11–13):**
> - **`ItemType` enum → `StockNature`.** The Stocked/NonStocked/Service enum was renamed to free the name `ItemType` for the new master entity. FR-MD-01 stays satisfied; the DB column was renamed in-place (`RenameColumn`, data preserved). Blast radius was 4 files — nothing in stock/GRN/costing branches on it.
> - **`CATEGORY.parent_id` removed.** Arbitrary nesting is gone, replaced by a dedicated `SUBCATEGORY` table (exactly two levels). Items now carry **both** FKs; previously the frontend collapsed them (`effectiveCategoryId = subCategoryId ?? categoryId`), losing the parent.
> - **Item types are unlinked to items, deliberately.** No value table, no join — values live only in the client-generated SKU (`BL-100-0003`) and are never parsed server-side. Accepted trade-off (no query-by-colour/size; renaming a type doesn't touch existing SKUs) written up in docs/10 Part C.9. This is *not* a product-variation model; none was requested.
> - **`itemTypesEnabled` is advisory, not enforced.** With no item-type reference on an item there is nothing on a write to reject; only `subcategoriesEnabled`/`brandsEnabled` produce `CONFIG_DISABLED`. Stated plainly in docs/11 §2.8 so it isn't mistaken for a backend guarantee.
> - **`PUT /product-config` is door-policy-gated only** — any ERP-admitted user can flip the flags. A `CONFIG_MANAGE` permission is reserved for when RBAC lands (open decision #13).
> - **`brandId` is now a documented field**, no longer the undocumented frontend-only extra it was.
>
> **Migration #2 (`AddBrandsSubcategoriesItemTypesAndProductConfig`) carries data, not just DDL.** The scaffolded version dropped `parent_id` outright, which would have silently flattened every child category into a root and stranded items on the wrong one. Hand-added: backfill of child categories into `subcategories`, repoint of items onto the correct (category, subcategory) pair, delete of the migrated rows, and the config singleton insert. A recursive CTE maps categories at **any** depth to their root ancestor, since the old model allowed unlimited nesting but the new one is two levels — a grandchild becomes a subcategory of its *root*, not of its (now-nonexistent) parent category. `Down()` was likewise hand-written to restore the tree instead of dropping `subcategories` and losing it.
>
> Also fixed while writing it: the `ck_product_config_singleton` check constraint was scaffolded as `config_id = 1`, but the column is created quoted-PascalCase (`"ConfigId"`) — unquoted, Postgres folds it to a column that doesn't exist. And `UpdateProductConfigRequest`'s flags are `bool?` on purpose: `[Required]` on a non-nullable `bool` is a no-op, so a body of `{}` would have bound all three to `false` and silently switched every feature off.
>
> **Schema/migration verified:** `dotnet build` clean. Migration `Up` **and** `Down` exercised against a purpose-seeded 3-level tree (Hardware → Fasteners → Bolts, plus items on each level and a childless root) — 9/9 forward assertions and 7/7 rollback assertions passed, including the grandchild depth-collapse and `StockNature` data preservation; the fixture was then removed. `DataSeeder` seeds `Color`/`Size` + the config singleton idempotently (it needed restructuring — an early `return` in the reason-code path would otherwise have skipped the new seeds on every start after the first).
>
> **Live smoke test PASSED (2026-07-16), all 24 checks, against Postgres + a real AuthHex session.** Auth note: a token *is* obtainable despite the `loginUser` blocker — **`POST /api/v1/auth/register` succeeds and issues the `erp_at` session cookie directly**, and the JWT handler's cookie fallback means that session authenticates every other controller. (`loginUser` still `500`s "Invalid credentials" for that same freshly-registered user, by username *or* email, with *or* without `userTypeId` — the §6 blocker is real and reproduces, but it is not a barrier to testing.) Registration needs AuthHex-internal `roleId`/`userTypeId` GUIDs, supplied by the user; Admin = role `08de6a11-9e9f-4401-8a10-6859860b41ec` / userType `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000004`.
>
> Covered: brand/category/subcategory/item-type create; **case-insensitive duplicate name → 409** (brand, and subcategory scoped per-parent); subcategory under a missing category → 404; item create carrying all three new FKs with SKU `BL-100-0003` → 201 and full round-trip on `GET /items/{id}`; new `brandId`/`subCategoryId` list filters; **cross-FK guard → 422** ("Subcategory 3 belongs to category 7, not 8"); missing/inactive brand → 422; `PUT /product-config {}` → **400** (proving the `bool?` fix — an empty body no longer silently disables everything); `subcategoriesEnabled:false` + `subCategoryId` → **422 CONFIG_DISABLED**, same item without it → 201, and **pre-existing items with a subcategory still read back fine**; `brandsEnabled:false` + `brandId` → 422; **`itemTypesEnabled:false` correctly does NOT block item writes** (advisory, as documented); ETag round-trip 200 / stale-but-well-formed → **412 CONCURRENCY_CONFLICT** (brand + subcategory) / absent → 428; `PATCH /status` → 204 then inactive-brand reference → 422; and **renaming an item type left existing SKUs untouched**, confirming the intended decoupling. Audit stamp confirmed live: `product_config.updatedBy` resolved to a JIT-provisioned shadow user (`SMOKE001`) from the AuthHex `UserId`/`NIC` claims.
>
> Test data was removed afterwards (masters back to empty, config flags restored to all-true with the audit stamp cleared). **Two artifacts left behind on purpose:** the AuthHex user `smoketest_admin` / NIC `SMOKE001` in AuthHex's own MySQL store, and its ERPCore shadow user (`users.UserId = 3`) — referenced by nothing, kept so the session can be reused for future testing. Delete both if unwanted.

## 2. Procurement
> Requisition/RFQ/PO implemented 2026-07-10. **Live smoke test PASSED** (docNo `PR/RFQ/PO-2026-#####` gap-controlled + incrementing, requestedBy/createdBy = seeded system user, RFQ comparison matrix, duplicate quotation→409, PO auto-approve + server-computed totals matching the spec example `112100/20178/132278`, edit-while-open with recomputed totals + ETag 200/412, PO_NOT_EDITABLE→409 on cancelled, cancel→200, bad reference→422). Same `[~]` reason as §1: the §6 security gate (auth + audit) is not yet wired.
- [x] Requisition (+ lines) + submit (`POST /requisitions`, `/{id}/submit`, list, get)
- [x] RFQ + quotations + comparison (`POST /rfqs`, `/{id}/quotations` [one per vendor], `GET /{id}/comparison` matrix)
- [x] Purchase Order: create (auto-approve **or `saveAsDraft`**, `approvalRequired` flag), edit **Draft-only** (If-Match), **submit** (Draft→Approved), **delete** (Draft-only), approve (no-op), cancel — see the 2026-07-20 entry (FR-PROC-05 revised: draft-lock supersedes edit-while-open)
- [x] Purchase Return (outbound movement, reason code) — `POST /purchase-returns` auto-posts an outbound FIFO consume via shared `StockMutator`; mandatory Return-context reason (`REASON_CODE_REQUIRED`→400, wrong context→422), references the GRN line for traceability, over-return→`409 STOCK_NEGATIVE_BLOCKED`. Verified. (Cumulative return-vs-received cap still relies on the stock-availability guard.)

> **Deviation (recorded):** `VendorQuotation` is modelled as header + `VendorQuotationLine` (per-item pricing) to satisfy the API contract (docs/11 §3.2); docs/10 Part C.2's scalar `VENDOR_QUOTATION(unit_price, lead_days)` with no item ref cannot represent it. Update the ER model doc to match.
> **RFQ `vendorIds`** are validated for existence but not persisted (no RFQ↔vendor link in the model); quotations reference vendors directly. **Consequence surfaced 2026-07-17:** no UI can show "invited but not yet quoted" — the RFQ screens now report quotations received instead. Persisting the invite list would need a new table.

> ### 2026-07-17 — read endpoints added so the frontend could be connected
> The frontend rewire (see `Frontend/PROGRESS.md`) needed reads that did not exist. `stock-adjustments` and `purchase-returns` had **no GET at all** — a UI could not re-display a record it had just created.
> - **New:** `GET /grns`, `GET /rfqs`, `GET /stock-transfers`, `GET /stock-counts`, `GET /stock-adjustments` **+ `/{id}`**, `GET /purchase-returns` **+ `/{id}`**, `GET /stock/on-hand/list`. All follow `ItemService.ListAsync` (ILike on `q`, filters, `PagedResponse<T>.Create`) with matching `*SummaryDto`s carrying a `lineCount`.
> - **`GET /stock/on-hand/list`** is deliberately set-based — four grouped queries regardless of page size — rather than calling `GetOnHandAsync` per row (N+1). It replaces a client-side loop the mock used to do.
> - **`GET /stock/ledger` gained `sourceDocType`/`sourceDocId`.** The ledger's document reference is polymorphic with no FK to follow, so this is the only way to ask "what did document X post?". Needed by the wastage report to cost its lines; also useful for any document's movement history.
> - **`ItemDetailDto` gained `conversions`** (+ `.Include(i => i.UomConversions)`): they could only be *written* (`PUT /items/{id}/uom-conversions` returns them; nothing read them back), so the item detail screen could never show current state before editing. Closes a deviation `Frontend/PROGRESS.md` had flagged.
> - **DTOs gained fields the entities already had** and the UI needed: `createdBy`/`createdAt` on transfers + counts, `createdAt` on purchase returns, `lineCount` + a `status` filter on requisitions. Cheaper and more honest than deleting working columns from the screens.
> - **Bug fixed — `POST /auth/logout` made `userId` optional.** AuthHex returns `user.userId: null` on login, so a browser could never supply the id the endpoint required; the call was skipped and the session cookies survived, making logout cosmetic. The controller now resolves the id from the token's `UserId` claim and **always** clears the cookies, even if the upstream revoke fails. Found by driving the real logout in a browser.
> - **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean; every new endpoint returns a correct `PagedResponse` against a live cookie session; `conversions` round-trips; `CONFIG_DISABLED` (422), `CONCURRENCY_CONFLICT` (412) and the cross-FK 422 (*"Subcategory 5 belongs to category 10, not 11"*) all confirmed through the browser. Test data removed afterwards.
> - **Not done — serial numbers (FR-GRN-04, priority M):** `CreateGrnLineInput` carries `batch` but has no serial field, so serials cannot be captured on receipt as the requirement mandates. The frontend does **not** collect them rather than silently discarding them. `SERIAL`/`StockLayer.serial_id` already exist in the model, so this is a service+DTO gap, not a schema one. Recorded in docs/11 §4.

## 3. Goods Receipt
> Implemented + **smoke test PASSED** 2026-07-13 (see §4 note for the shared stock verification). Same `[~]` reason as §1/§2: the §6 auth+audit gate.
- [x] GRN create (against PO / direct), over-receipt tolerance — `unitCost` **defaults to the PO price but is now overridable per line** (variance recorded vs `poUnitPrice` snapshot — 02-SECURITY C.3 revised 2026-07-20; the old "client cost ignored" block is gone); direct receipt requires `vendorId` + entered cost (AR-04); over-receipt → `422 OVER_RECEIPT_TOLERANCE` (verified at open-qty boundary); batch created/reused per (item, batchNo). Serial capture deferred. **Discount/VAT added** — see the 2026-07-20 entry.
- [x] **Off-PO lines on a PO-based GRN** (FR-GRN-01, 2026-07-22) — a line with `poLineId: null` on a PO-based GRN is received like a direct line (entered `unitCost`, no over-receipt check, PO balances untouched). **No code change was needed** — `GrnService.CreateAsync` already branches per-line on `input.PoLineId is not null`; documented + frontend-enabled. Same review/audit surface as AR-04 (02-SECURITY C.3).
- [x] GRN confirm → FIFO layer + ledger + PO `qtyReceived` (single UoW txn) — verified: layers+ledger posted, running balance, PO → PartiallyReceived/FullyReceived, UOM→base conversion (10 Box-12 → 120 base @10). **Idempotent** re-confirm verified (no double-post). Note: `Idempotency-Key` accepted but idempotency is resource-state based (already-Confirmed replays existing result); a keyed idempotency store is deferred.
- [x] Inspection hold release / reject — Release fully verified (OnHold excluded from `available`, then released). Reject removes on-hand + posts a reversing ledger entry; formal link to a Purchase Return is deferred (§3.4).

## 4. Stock Core
> Implemented + **live smoke test PASSED** 2026-07-13: receive→confirm creates FIFO layers + inbound ledger (qtyBase/unitCost/value/runningBalance correct), on-hand/valuation/ledger queries correct, OnHold excluded from `available`, UOM→base conversion applied. Same `[~]` gate (§6 auth+audit).
- [x] StockLayer + StockLedger entities/config — ledger **append-only at the app level** (never updated/deleted); DB-role `UPDATE`/`DELETE` revoke is deferred hardening (02-SECURITY B.3). Layers keyed per item **per warehouse**, base-UOM qty + unit cost; ledger polymorphic source (`sourceDocType`/`sourceDocId`), time-series indexes.
- [x] `FifoCostingService` — inbound layer + ledger posting + valuation **and oldest-first consume with row lock** (`SELECT … FOR UPDATE`, on-hold/expired exclusion, negative-stock block) all implemented + verified 2026-07-13 via §5. Blended cost on multi-layer consume verified (700@10 + 100@12 → 10.25).
- [x] Stock enquiry (onHand / available / onHold / inTransit) — onHand/available/onHold **and inTransit** now live + verified (inTransit = outstanding InTransit-transfer qty out of this warehouse). `reserved` stays a 0 stub until Sales.
- [x] Ledger query · Valuation query — `GET /stock/ledger` (item/warehouse/from/to + paging), `GET /stock/valuation` (open layers, totals, FIFO); both verified.

## 5. Stock Transactions
> **All four §5 features implemented + live smoke test PASSED 2026-07-13** (Adjustment, Transfer, Count, Reorder alerts); Purchase Return (§3.4) also done this pass. Same `[~]` gate (§6 auth+audit).
- [x] Transfer: create → dispatch (consume source FIFO row-locked → In-Transit) → receive (dest layer, **cost-preserving**) — verified: dispatch reduces source onHand + reports inTransit; receive creates dest layer at inherited cost (300 @12 → dest value 3600); `destWarehouseId != srcWarehouseId`→422; dispatch short→`409 STOCK_NEGATIVE_BLOCKED`. Partial receive supported (`QtyReceived`).
- [x] Adjustment (auto-post, mandatory reason code) — **highest-risk feature (02-SECURITY C.5)**: `REASON_CODE_REQUIRED`→400, non-Adjustment reason→422, decrease FIFO-consumes (blended cost, negative→409), increase creates a layer at last cost. All verified.
- [x] Count (cycle/full → enter counts → variance → post) — create snapshots systemQty (immutable), enter sets counted+variance→Counted, post emits a variance `StockAdjustment` via shared `StockMutator` + closes the count. Verified: variance −15 (post→on-hand 485) and +10 increase; re-post→409.
- [x] Reorder alerts (query) + suggest requisition — `GET /stock/reorder-alerts` (available ≤ ROP, computed on read) + `POST …/{itemId}/requisition` (draft PR at suggested qty). Verified.

## 6. Cross-cutting
> **Status: COMPLETE.** Audit trail, doc numbering, reason codes, JournalEntryStub, negative-stock block, and now **authentication** (external AuthHex IdP integration) are all done + verified. The §6 security gate (NFR-03 auth + AR-01 audit) is met — **§1–§5 flipped `[~]`→`[x]`** (2026-07-14). FEFO pick-ordering is the only intentional deferral.
- [x] Audit log on every mutation (who/when/old→new) — `AuditLog` (jsonb `changeSet`), written by an `ErpDbContext.SaveChanges` override (`AuditScribe`): Create captures the field set, Update captures **only changed fields as {old,new}**, Delete captures the prior row; PK/RowVersion excluded; ledger/layer/seq/self/journal excluded. Actor from `ICurrentUser` (system=1 until auth). Read via `GET /audit-logs`. **Verified** (Item create+update old→new; StockAdjustment create). This is the **AR-01 compensating control** (02-SECURITY B.3) — app-level append-only; DB-role UPDATE/DELETE revoke still deferred.
- [x] Document numbering sequences (per type, per year) — `NumberSequence` + `NumberSequenceService` (atomic `INSERT … ON CONFLICT … RETURNING` inside the doc's UoW txn; gap-controlled). Verified issuing + incrementing PR/RFQ/PO.
- [x] Auth: **external AuthHex IdP integration** (2026-07-14) — ERPCore is a resource server. `JwtAuthExtensions` validates **RS256** against AuthHex's RSA **public** key (config `Auth:RsaPublicKeyXml` → `RsaSecurityKey`; `MapInboundClaims=false`), issuer `AuthHex`, audience `AuthHexClient` (no JWKS → static key). `[Authorize(ErpAccess)]` on `ApiControllerBase` gates every v1 endpoint; the `ErpAccess` policy `RequireAuthenticatedUser` + optional `RequireClaim(UserTypeCode/RoleCode)` from `Auth:RequiredUserTypeCode`/`RequiredRoleCode` (empty ⇒ any valid ERP token — AuthHex is ERP-dedicated). **Shadow-user JIT provisioning:** `ShadowUserClaimsTransformation` (`IClaimsTransformation`) maps the token's `UserId` **GUID** → a local `users` row (`auth_user_id` unique; Username/DisplayName = `NIC`), idempotent, and injects the local `int` id as `nameid` so `ICurrentUser.AuditUserId` resolves the real actor. Migration `AddAuthUserId`. **Verified:** no token→401; `/health`,`/api/meta`,Swagger anonymous; valid token→200; shadow user provisioned (User 2, Username=NIC, AuthUserId=GUID); item Create **audited as the shadow user (id 2, not system)**; re-request reuses the same user; door gate → **403** on UserType mismatch, **200** on match.
- [x] Auth proxy: **`AuthController` fronting AuthHex** (2026-07-16) — the frontend no longer calls AuthHex directly; `Controllers/AuthController.cs` + `Services/Auth/{AuthUserService,AuthRecoveryService,AuthAltService}` proxy all 24 AuthHex functions (register/login/OTP-login/refresh/sessions/status/lock/change-password/verify-password/logout/update/2FA×5/recovery×4/alt×3) via `Infra/Auth/AuthHex/{IAuthHexClient,AuthHexClient}` (`AuthHex:BaseUrl` config). Sessions delivered as httpOnly Secure `erp_at`/`erp_rt` cookies + `XSRF-TOKEN` double-submit cookie (`Infra/Auth/AuthCookieWriter.cs`, 02-SECURITY §B.2); `ValidateCsrfAttribute` guards every mutating action; the JWT bearer handler now also accepts `erp_at` as a fallback (`JwtAuthExtensions`'s `OnMessageReceived`) so every other v1 controller keeps working unchanged. See `docs/11-BACKEND-PHASE1.md §2.0` for the full route table and `docs/02-SECURITY.md` AR-07/AR-08 for the two carried-over exposures (anonymous `getUserDetails`/`LogoutUser`, no rate limiting yet). **Not done this pass:** CORS (needed once a browser frontend calls these endpoints cross-origin), rate limiting, and the frontend wiring itself (`lib/api/auth.ts` + login/OTP/reset pages) — all deliberately deferred follow-ups.
- [x] JournalEntryStub emitted per stock movement (data only) — `JournalEntryStub` written in `FifoCostingService.PostLedgerAsync` for every ledger entry (In → Dr Inventory `1300` / Cr Clearing `2100`; Out reverses; amount = movement value). Placeholder accounts until a chart of accounts exists. Read via `GET /journal-entries`. **Verified** (GRN In 700, ADJ Out 70).
- [x] Negative-stock policy enforcement (default block) — enforced in `FifoCostingService.ConsumeAsync` → `409 STOCK_NEGATIVE_BLOCKED` (verified). Per-item override still a config stub.
- [~] FEFO picking for perishables; block expired / on-hold issue — **issue-block done + verified** (`ONHOLD_NOT_ISSUABLE`, `EXPIRED_BATCH_BLOCKED`; on-hold/expired layers excluded from consume). FEFO *pick ordering* (oldest-expiry first) not yet built.
- [x] Reason codes (FR-X-04) — `ReasonCode` entity + `GET/POST /reason-codes`; standard set (docs/10 §B.8.3) seeded idempotently at startup (`DataSeeder`). Verified.

## 7. External Integrations
> **General Ledger service** (separate microservice, own repo/DB) — connected 2026-07-20 as a generic reverse-proxy only; no ERPCore business logic posts to it yet. Full contract + progress detail: `docs/12-GENERAL-LEDGER-INTEGRATION.md`.
- [~] Generic proxy `GET|POST|PUT /api/v1/gl/{**path}` (`GeneralLedgerController` → `IGeneralLedgerService` → `IGeneralLedgerClient`) — forwards method/path/query/body/content-type verbatim to the GL service with a server-attached `X-Api-Key`; GL's response (status + body) returned unchanged. ErpAccess-door-policy-gated like every other v1 endpoint. Config: `GeneralLedgerService:BaseUrl`/`ApiKey` in `appsettings.json`. Build verified clean; **not yet live-smoke-tested** (no running GL instance this pass).
- [ ] Internal wiring — ERPCore services (GRN confirm, adjustments, etc.) calling `IGeneralLedgerService` directly to post real journal entries. Deliberately deferred.

> ### 2026-07-20 — RBAC nav seed for the frontend's new "Ledgers" section
> The `Frontend/PROGRESS.md` §8 "Ledgers" sidebar section (docs/21-GENERAL-LEDGER-FRONTEND.md) needs a matching `NavItem`/`SubNavItem`/`Permission` row for every entry, or the sidebar filters it out for every role regardless of the frontend change (docs/10 C.8, `GET /auth/me`'s `navCodes`). Added via `NavItemConfiguration.cs`/`SubNavItemConfiguration.cs`/`PermissionConfiguration.cs` `HasData`: `NavItem` `ledgers` (id 11), 7 `SubNavItem` rows (ids 9–15, `ledgers.trial-balance` … `ledgers.bank-accounts`), 8 `Permission` rows (ids 19–26) — same one-`Permission`-per-nav-entry convention as every existing nav row. Migration `AddLedgersNavSeed`.
> **Build note:** a locally running `ERPCore.exe` (PID 29692) held the default `bin/Debug` output locked for the whole session, so `dotnet ef migrations add` twice produced an empty no-op migration off a stale assembly (`--no-build` silently reused pre-edit code) before the real cause was found. Fixed by building to a scratch output directory (unaffected by the lock), copying the fresh `ERPCore.dll` over the locked `bin/Debug` copy (the running process only locks the `.exe`, not the `.dll`), then re-scaffolding — the resulting migration's `Up`/`Down` were verified by inspection against the identical, already-applied `AddRolesNavPermissions` migration's `InsertData`/`DeleteData` shape. The stray process was left running rather than killed, since it wasn't started by this work and may be in active use elsewhere.
> **Not yet applied to a live database** — no Postgres instance was available in this pass to run `dotnet ef database update` against. `dotnet build` is clean (0 warnings/0 errors).
> **Operational step still needed post-deploy (not code):** a new `NavItem`/`SubNavItem` carries no `RolePermission` grants by default — an administrator must check the new Ledgers permissions for the relevant role(s) via **Settings → Roles** before anyone sees the sidebar entry, same as every previous nav addition.

> ### 2026-07-30 — RBAC nav seed: 8th sub-item for the new "Tax Report" screen
> The frontend's GL-revision pass (`docs/21-GENERAL-LEDGER-FRONTEND.md`, Frontend/PROGRESS.md §8) added a Tax Report screen to the Ledgers sidebar section — needs the same nav-seed treatment as every other entry (docs/10 C.8). Added `SubNavItem` id 16 (`ledgers.tax-report`, `/dashboard/ledgers/tax-report`, sort order 7) and `Permission` id 27 (`NAV:ledgers.tax-report`); re-sequenced the existing `ledgers.bank-accounts` row's `SortOrder` from 7→8 so Tax Report sits before it, matching the sidebar array's actual order. Migration `AddTaxReportNavSeed` — no locked-process issue this time (confirmed no stray `ERPCore.exe` running before scaffolding), generated cleanly on the first attempt with real `InsertData`/`UpdateData`/`DeleteData` (`Down()` correctly restores `bank-accounts`' `SortOrder` to 7). `dotnet build` clean (0 warnings/0 errors). **Not yet applied to a live database** — same open item as the original `AddLedgersNavSeed` migration; both are still pending `dotnet ef database update` against a real Postgres instance.

> ### 2026-07-30 (2) — Fixed a real `SubNavItemId`/`PermissionId` collision between Procurement and Ledgers seed data
> **Root cause:** when the 2026-07-20 `AddLedgersNavSeed` migration was authored, its `SubNavItem`/`Permission` IDs were picked by looking at the *actual DB row count*, not the config source — but `SubNavItemConfiguration.cs`/`PermissionConfiguration.cs` already had `HasData` entries for Procurement's 4 sub-items (`procurement.requisitions`/`.rfqs`/`.purchase-orders`/`.purchase-returns`, ids 9–12/19–22) that **had never actually been migrated into any database** (no migration `Up()` anywhere ever inserts them — confirmed by grep across every migration file). Ledgers then claimed the same ids (9–12 sub-nav, 19–22 permission) for its own rows, so the config ended up with two `HasData` entries sharing the same primary key per table. `ErpDbContextModelSnapshot.cs` had silently absorbed both (`dotnet ef migrations add` doesn't hard-fail on this at scaffold time), but **EF's runtime model validator does** — `dotnet ef migrations add` for anything touching these tables, and by extension normal app startup/first `DbContext` use, throws `InvalidOperationException: A seed entity ... has the same key value as another seed entity mapped to the same table`. This is very likely the crash the user was hitting.
> **Fix:** moved Procurement's 4 sub-nav rows off the colliding ids onto **17–20** (`SubNavItemId`) and **28–31** (`PermissionId`), past every id already claimed by Ledgers/Tax-Report (max 16/27). Removed the phantom duplicate Procurement entries from `ErpDbContextModelSnapshot.cs` (they never reflected real DB state) so the differ could compute a clean diff, then generated migration **`FixProcurementNavIdCollision`** — pure `InsertData` for the 4 sub-nav rows + 4 permission rows at their new ids (this is also the *first* migration that actually creates Procurement's sub-nav-item/permission rows in the database at all). `Down()` is a clean `DeleteData` reversal.
> **Verified:** running `dotnet ef migrations add` against the pre-fix config reproduced the exact `InvalidOperationException` above (scaffold failed outright, no migration file produced), confirming this was a real, reproducible crash and not a false alarm; after the fix, the same command succeeded and `dotnet ef migrations list` builds the full model with no error, listing all 7 migrations (the last 2 — `AddTaxReportNavSeed`, `FixProcurementNavIdCollision` — still `(Pending)`, no Postgres instance available this session); `dotnet build` clean (0 warnings/0 errors). **Not yet applied to a live database** — same standing blocker as the two prior nav-seed migrations.
> Also fixed, same pass: `Frontend/erp-system/components/Layouts/AppSidebar.tsx`'s auto-expand-active-parent logic tripped `react-hooks/set-state-in-effect` (`setExpanded` called synchronously inside a `useEffect`) — converted to the same "adjust state during render" pattern used for the Ledgers report pages, keyed on a `pathname + item-codes` composite key (tracked via a `lastAutoExpandKey` state var) so it still re-fires once `items` populates after the RBAC `navCodes` fetch resolves. `npx eslint components/Layouts/AppSidebar.tsx` clean.

> ### 2026-07-31 — RBAC nav seed: new "Accounts" nav item (Cheque Management screens + Cash/Bank Accounts moved off Ledgers)
> The frontend added a new "Accounts" sidebar section (`Frontend/PROGRESS.md` §8) for the new Cheque Management screens and to hold Cash/Bank Accounts, which moved out of Ledgers into it (user-requested — Cheque Books/Received Cheques/Cash-Bank Accounts are all the same kind of operational account bookkeeping, not a statutory report). Migration **`AddAccountsNavSeed`**: `InsertData` for `NavItem` `accounts` (id 12) and two new `SubNavItem`/`Permission` pairs (`accounts.cheque-books` id 21/33, `accounts.received-cheques` id 22/34); **`UpdateData`, not delete-and-recreate**, for the existing Cash/Bank Accounts `SubNavItem`/`Permission` (ids 15/26) — same ids, just new `Code`/`Href`/`NavItemId` — so a role that had already been granted this permission under its old `ledgers.bank-accounts` code doesn't silently lose it just because the section changed. `Down()` correctly reverses both the inserts and the renamed-row update back to its Ledgers-era values.
> **No locked-process issue avoided this time** — `ERPCore.exe` was found running twice during this pass (the user had restarted it between turns to test the Tax Report fix); confirmed with the user before killing it each time, per this session's standing caution around stopping their dev server. `dotnet build` clean (0 warnings/0 errors); `dotnet ef migrations list` shows all 8 migrations with none pending. **Applied to the live database this session** (`dotnet ef database update`) — unlike every prior nav-seed migration this session, this one did not have to wait for a live Postgres instance to become available.
> **Operational step still needed post-deploy (not code):** same as every previous nav addition — an administrator must grant the new `NAV:accounts`/`NAV:accounts.cheque-books`/`NAV:accounts.received-cheques` permissions to the relevant role(s) via **Settings → Roles** before anyone sees the new sidebar entries (the re-homed `NAV:accounts.bank-accounts` keeps whatever grants it already had).

> ### 2026-07-31 (2) — Root-caused and fixed a repo-wide bug: 36 tables (all of HRM + all of Manufacturing) existed in the EF model but not in the actual database, and no `dotnet ef migrations add` could ever surface it
> **User-reported:** after rebasing `feat/general-ledger-service` onto `origin/Dev`, some tables from the other branch weren't being created by `migrations add` + `database update`. Ground-truthed against the live Postgres instance (queried `pg_tables`/`__EFMigrationsHistory` directly, since EF's own diff tooling only ever compares the compiled model against `ErpDbContextModelSnapshot.cs` — never the real database — so it's structurally blind to this class of bug): the database had 45 tables; the current model/snapshot expects 80. All 25 `hr_*` tables and all 11 `production_runs`/`production_templates`/`run_*`/`stage_*`/`template_stages` tables were completely absent, despite `ErpDbContext`/`Infra/Persistence/Configurations` fully describing them and `ErpDbContextModelSnapshot.cs` already listing them.
> **Root cause: a `.gitignore` rule (`**/Migrations/`, added early on to stop *new* EF migrations from being committed) combined disastrously with `ErpDbContextModelSnapshot.cs` staying tracked** (`.gitignore` doesn't retroactively untrack already-tracked files, and the snapshot was one of the original 4 tracked migrations). Every `dotnet ef migrations add` after that point updated the snapshot (which **did** get committed normally, since it was already tracked) but wrote its actual migration `.cs`/`.Designer.cs` pair as new, gitignored, never-committed files. Confirmed via `git show --stat` on every historical commit touching the snapshot: several — including the commit that added the entire HRM module and the one that added Manufacturing (`7d6e597`) — show large snapshot insertions with **zero** migration files in the same commit. Net effect: the snapshot has been silently lying about the applied-migration history for a long time; `dotnet ef migrations add` never detects a "missing" table because, as far as the (already-tracked, already-correct-looking) snapshot is concerned, nothing has changed — the actual `CreateTable` migration simply never existed anywhere in git, on any machine that didn't happen to still have it sitting locally, ungitignored-but-untracked.
> **Fix, in order:**
> 1. Confirmed the exact 36-table gap by comparing `pg_tables` against every `b.ToTable(...)` call in the snapshot (script, not archaeology — this is the only way to get ground truth once the snapshot itself is suspect).
> 2. Temporarily removed just those 36 entities' blocks from `ErpDbContextModelSnapshot.cs` (verified 2–3 balanced-brace occurrences per entity removed cleanly, nothing else touched), so `dotnet ef migrations add` would have something real to diff against.
> 3. Generated **`AddMissingHrmAndManufacturingTables`** — verified its `Up()` contains exactly 36 `CreateTable` calls (matching the missing-table list precisely, no more/fewer) and its `Down()` exactly 36 matching `DropTable` calls; no `AlterColumn`/`DropColumn`/`RenameColumn` against any pre-existing table, confirming this was a pure addition with zero collateral schema drift.
> 4. Applied it (`dotnet ef database update`); re-queried `pg_tables` live — all 81 tables (80 + `__EFMigrationsHistory`) now present. Confirmed fully settled by scaffolding one more throwaway migration afterward and checking it came back empty (no remaining model/snapshot drift), then removing it.
> 5. **Fixed the actual root cause, not just this one symptom:** reverted the `.gitignore` rule — EF Core migrations are now tracked like any other source file, so this can't recur the same way. Every migration created since the rule was added (`AddLedgersNavSeed`, `AddTaxReportNavSeed`, `FixProcurementNavIdCollision`, `AddAccountsNavSeed`, the empty `production` migration, and this pass's `AddMissingHrmAndManufacturingTables`) was sitting on disk ungitignored-but-uncommitted the whole time — now staged to actually join the repo.
> **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (0 errors, pre-existing `CS8981` naming warning on the already-present `production` migration class only); `dotnet ef migrations list` shows all 10 migrations, none pending. **A locally running `ERPCore.exe` had to be stopped mid-session (user's explicit approval obtained first) to free the build lock**, same recurring issue as every previous migration pass this week.
> **Left as-is, deliberately:** the empty `production` migration (`20260731123720_production.cs`) — it's a harmless no-op (it was the user's own prior attempt to fix this exact bug, which came back empty for the reason explained above) and renaming/removing it now would just be churn; the real fix landed in the next migration.
> **Action needed from the user:** the `.gitignore` fix means these migration files are no longer excluded, but nothing has been `git add`ed or committed yet — per standing instruction, commits only happen when explicitly asked.

# HRM (Phase 2)

Spec: `docs/12-BACKEND-HRM.md` (model + rules) · `docs/13-BACKEND-HRM-API.md` (API). Security: `docs/02-SECURITY.md §C.8` (run before ticking any HRM feature `[x]` — salary/PII data, see AR-09/AR-10).

### 2026-07-23 — Bug fix: `DateTime Kind=Unspecified` 500 on every user-supplied date (Employee create, Statutory Settings create, etc.)
- **Root cause:** Postgres/Npgsql requires `DateTime` values written to a `timestamp with time zone` column to have `Kind=Utc`. Every Phase-1 `DateTime` was always server-generated (`DateTime.UtcNow`), so this never surfaced before. HRM is the first place user-supplied dates (hire date, salary-structure/statutory-setting effective date, leave/attendance period dates, document issue/expiry dates, …) get deserialized straight from a JSON request body — which produces `Kind=Unspecified` — and then persisted, so **any** create involving a date (`POST /employees`, `POST /payroll-statutory-settings`, `POST /tax-slabs`, `POST /employees/{id}/salary-structure`, `POST /leave-requests`, attendance upload, …) threw a `500` (`DbUpdateException` → `ArgumentException: Cannot write DateTime with Kind=Unspecified...`). Confirmed via `logs/erpcore-20260723.log`.
- **Fix:** a global EF Core `ValueConverter<DateTime, DateTime>`/`ValueConverter<DateTime?, DateTime?>` registered once in `ErpDbContext.OnModelCreating` (applied to every entity property of type `DateTime`/`DateTime?` via `modelBuilder.Model.GetEntityTypes()`), forcing `Kind=Utc` on write. Fixes the bug for every current and future HRM (and Phase-1) entity in one place, rather than patching each service call site individually.
- **No migration needed** — confirmed by scaffolding a migration and finding it empty (`Up`/`Down` both no-ops), then removing it. The converter doesn't change the store type (`timestamp with time zone` throughout), only how the CLR value's `Kind` is normalized before Npgsql sees it.
- **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (0/0). Not yet re-verified end-to-end against a live AuthHex session (same blocker as the rest of this phase's runtime testing) — the next person to get a token should re-try `POST /employees` and `POST /payroll-statutory-settings` to confirm the `500` is gone.

## 7. Sub-phase 2.1 — Employee + User-link + Documents
> **Code complete + migration applied (2026-07-23).** `dotnet build` clean (0/0); migration `AddHrmPhase1Foundation` generated + applied to the local Postgres DB (new tables only + one nullable `users.Email` column — the scaffolder's "possible data loss" warning is just the benign `UpdateData` setting the seeded system user's `Email` to `null`, not a drop). Runtime smoke-test (Swagger/browser) not yet run — do that before ticking `[x]`, per the §6 security-gate convention §1's note established for Phase 1.
- [x] Org masters: Branch, Department (self-nesting + cycle guard), Designation, EmploymentType, WorkShift — entities + configs + services + controllers (CRUD, ETag, deactivate-not-delete). Routes: `/branches`, `/departments`, `/designations`, `/employment-types`, `/work-shifts`.
- [x] Employee entity + config (EmployeeStatus enum, EmployeeCode uniqueness, all FKs) + service + controller (`/employees`)
- [x] EmployeeBankDetail (one-to-many, IsPrimary) — `GET/PUT /employees/{id}/bank-details` (full-replace)
- [x] `User.Email` column + unique index (Postgres allows multiple NULLs natively, same pattern as `AuthUserId` — no explicit filter needed); `UsersController.Create` now persists it locally (previously silently dropped despite `CreateUserRequest.Email` being required) and returns it on `ManagedUserDto`.
- [x] `EmployeeUserLinkService` + email-lookup endpoints (`GET /employees/email-lookup`, `GET /users/email-lookup`, both advisory/non-mutating) + `POST/DELETE /employees/{id}/link-user` + `linkUserId`/`linkEmployeeId` on the two create endpoints. `Employee.UserId` has a unique index (DB-level one-User-per-Employee guarantee) backed by service-level `EMPLOYEE_ALREADY_LINKED`/`USER_ALREADY_LINKED` (409) checks.
- [x] `HrDocumentType` master (CRUD, deactivate-not-delete) — `/hr-document-types`
- [x] `Infra/Storage/IFileStorageService` + `LocalFileStorageService` (root `App_Data/hr-documents` outside wwwroot, year/month bucketing, path-escape guard, registered as a **singleton** — stateless aside from the configured root)
- [x] `EmployeeDocument` entity + upload/list/download/status endpoints (`POST/GET /employees/{id}/documents`, `GET .../documents/{docId}/download`, `PATCH .../documents/{docId}/status`) — extension allowlist (`.pdf/.jpg/.jpeg/.png/.docx`) cross-checked against declared content-type, size cap from `FileStorage:MaxSizeBytes` (appsettings, default 10MB)

**Deviations (recorded, not silently skipped):**
- **JIT-provisioning Email backfill not implemented.** `ShadowUserClaimsTransformation` still only sets Username/DisplayName from the AuthHex token — the token carries no `Email` claim (confirmed set: `UserId`/`UserTypeCode`/`RoleCode`/`NIC`/`jti`/`iat`), so backfilling it would require an extra AuthHex API call (`getUserDetails`) inside the claims-transformation hot path. Deferred as a follow-up; the primary path (`UsersController.Create`, which already collects `Email` in the request body) covers the common case of an ERPCore-driven user creation.
- **`DOCUMENT_TYPE_IN_USE` error code is defined but not wired to anything** — there is no hard-`DELETE` endpoint for `HrDocumentType` (same deactivate-only convention as every Phase-1 master; FR-MD-08), so nothing currently triggers it. Reserved for consistency with the doc, same posture as Phase 1's unused `MASTER_IN_USE` before transaction tables existed.
- **`EmployeeDocumentService` reads `Stream.Length` for the size-cap check** rather than `IFormFile.Length` directly — works because ASP.NET Core's default `IFormFile.OpenReadStream()` returns a seekable buffered stream, but would need revisiting if a non-seekable upload path is ever added.

## 8. Sub-phase 2.2 — Attendance + Leave
> **Code complete + migration applied (2026-07-23).** `dotnet build` clean (0 errors); migration `AddHrmAttendanceAndLeave` generated (purely additive, no data-loss warning) + applied to the local Postgres DB. Packages added: `ClosedXML` 0.105.0, `CsvHelper` 33.1.0. Runtime smoke-test not yet run.
- [x] LeaveType (master CRUD, `/leave-types`), LeaveRequest (Draft/Submitted/Approved/Rejected/Cancelled, `/leave-requests`, DocNo via `NumberSequenceService` "LV"), LeaveBalance (`GET/PUT /employees/{id}/leave-balances`) — approving a request increments `LeaveBalance.TakenDays` via `ILeaveBalanceService.IncrementTakenDaysAsync`
- [x] WorkShift-based `AttendanceComputationService` (Working/Late/Early/OT minutes; overnight-shift handling; derives Present/HalfDay/Absent/Holiday/WeekOff/OnLeave) — the analog of `FifoCostingService`
- [x] AttendanceUploadBatch + AttendanceRecord entities/config (`WorkShiftId` snapshotted at ingestion per docs A.3)
- [x] Excel/CSV parsing (ClosedXML for `.xlsx`, CsvHelper for `.csv`) + `GET /attendance-batches/template.xlsx`/`?format=csv` — both share `AttendanceUploadService.ColumnNames` so template and parser can't drift
- [x] Upload → validate (employee-code resolution against Active employees, date/time parse, within-batch + cross-batch-confirmed duplicate detection) → confirm pipeline, exact status flow Draft→Validated→Confirmed→UsedInPayroll (`/attendance-batches`, `.../validate`, `.../confirm`)
- [x] Manual record edit (`PUT .../records/{id}`, blocked once Confirmed/UsedInPayroll → `409 ATTENDANCE_BATCH_LOCKED`) + duplicate resolution (`POST .../resolve-duplicate`, keep/discard/supersede) + unlock (`POST .../unlock`, mandatory reason, blocked once `UsedInPayroll`)
- [x] Leave→Attendance OnLeave classification wired in — `AttendanceUploadService` calls `ILeaveRequestService.FindApprovedLeaveCoveringAsync` per record during upload and re-computation

**Deviations (recorded):**
- **LeaveRequest.DaysCount is a calendar-day count** (`EndDate − StartDate + 1`), not business-day/holiday-aware. Flagged as a simplification in the service's own doc comment — a real deployment will want to exclude weekends/holidays from paid-leave day counts before this feeds Payroll.
- **No `Holiday` calendar entity exists yet** — `AttendanceComputationService.Compute` always receives `isHoliday: false`; only `WeekOff` (derived from `WorkShift.WorkingDaysMask`) and `OnLeave` are currently distinguishable from a plain `Absent`. A company-holiday calendar is a natural near-term addition, not built in this pass.
- **`ResolveDuplicateAsync`'s "supersede" action does not yet locate/mutate the prior confirmed record** — it currently just accepts the new row as Valid. The prior confirmed `AttendanceRecord` this is meant to supersede is not looked up or flagged; this needs a follow-up pass before "supersede" is safe to expose to non-admin users in the UI.

## 9. Sub-phase 2.3 — Payroll
> **Code complete + migration applied (2026-07-23).** `dotnet build` clean (0 errors); migration `AddHrmPayroll` generated + applied to the local Postgres DB. Runtime smoke-test not yet run.
- [x] SalaryComponent master (`/salary-components`) — Earning/Deduction, IsTaxable, IsEpfEtfApplicable
- [x] EmployeeSalaryStructure (+Lines), effective-dated (`GET/POST /employees/{id}/salary-structure`) — creating a new structure automatically supersedes the previous open-ended one (`EffectiveTo` set the day before the new `EffectiveFrom`), `409 SALARY_STRUCTURE_OVERLAP` if the new date isn't after the current one
- [x] EmployeeLoan (+Installments) ledger (`GET/POST /employees/{id}/loans`) — creating a loan generates its full installment schedule up front; `IEmployeeLoanService.GetDueInstallmentsAsync` is what `PayrollCalculationService` consumes
- [x] PayrollStatutorySetting (`/payroll-statutory-settings`), TaxSlab (`/tax-slabs`) — both effective-dated; creating a new statutory setting supersedes the prior open-ended one; tax slab creation validates no gap/overlap for the same effective date (`422 TAX_SLAB_GAP_INVALID`)
- [x] `PayrollCalculationService` — Gross = Basic + allowance lines + OT; Net = Gross − Late − NoPay − Loan − EPF(employee) − Tax − OtherDeductions; **EPF-employer/ETF are informational-only, never subtracted**, matching the spec's "Company Contribution" framing; Tax via standard ascending marginal-slab computation over taxable earnings
- [x] PayrollRun/PayrollLine/PayrollLineComponent + Draft→Approved→Locked workflow (`/payroll-runs`, generate/approve/lock/unlock/generate-payslips) — Generate blocked (`422 ATTENDANCE_NOT_CONFIRMED`) if any attendance batch for the period is still Draft/Validated; loan-installment (Pending→Deducted, balance decremented) and attendance-batch (Confirmed→UsedInPayroll) stamping deferred to **Lock**, not Generate/Approve, per docs A.4
- [x] Unlock (`POST .../unlock`, mandatory reason) — reverses both the loan-installment and attendance-batch stamps made at Lock, back to Approved
- [x] Payslip generation (Locked-only, idempotent) + HTML print view (`GET /payslips/{id}/view`) — no PDF dependency, per the confirmed decision

**Deviations / open items (recorded, not silently assumed):**
- **The exact APIT taxable-income base is a real compliance question, not resolved here** (docs/12-BACKEND-HRM.md B.4 flags this explicitly) — `PayrollCalculationService` computes taxable income as `Basic + taxable allowance lines + Overtime` and applies the configurable `TaxSlab` table as a standard ascending marginal calculation; whether EPF-employee should reduce taxable income first, or whether OT should be taxable at all, needs finance/statutory sign-off before go-live.
- **NoPayAmount currently only counts plain `Absent` days**, not unpaid-leave days — `AttendanceRecord` doesn't yet carry which `LeaveType` covered an `OnLeave` day (or whether it's paid), so all `OnLeave` days are currently treated as paid. A follow-up should either stamp the record with the leave's paid/unpaid flag at attendance-computation time, or join back to `LeaveRequest`/`LeaveType` during payroll calculation.
- **OT/Late per-minute rate model**: `dailyRate = Basic ÷ daysInMonth`, `perMinuteRate = dailyRate ÷ WorkShift.StandardWorkingMinutes` — a simplification flagged in `12-BACKEND-HRM.md B.4` (tiered late/OT policies are a future improvement, not built now).
- **`PayrollRunService.GenerateAsync` skips employees with no effective salary structure** for the period rather than failing the whole run — intentional (a partially-onboarded workforce shouldn't block payroll for everyone else), but means a run's employee count can silently be less than total active headcount; worth surfacing in the frontend as a warning list.
- **Loan-installment/attendance-batch reversal on Unlock re-derives "what this run touched" by period/status query**, not from a stored per-run link table (e.g. any `Confirmed`-turned-`UsedInPayroll` batch for the run's period, any installment whose `PayrollRunId` matches). This is correct for the common case but would need a real link if multiple concurrent runs ever target overlapping periods/branches — not expected in this phase (one run per period/branch).

## 10. Sub-phase 2.4 — Reports
> **Code complete (2026-07-23).** `dotnet build` clean (0 errors). No new entities/migration — pure read-only aggregation over Attendance/Payroll/Leave/Document tables (`IHrReportService`/`HrReportsController`, `/reports/hrm/*`), same posture as `StockController`'s on-hand/ledger queries. Runtime smoke-test not yet run.
- [x] Attendance summary (`GET /reports/hrm/attendance-summary?periodYear=&periodMonth=&departmentId=`), OT report (`.../overtime`), late-arrival report (`.../late-arrivals`)
- [x] Payroll register (`.../payroll-register?payrollRunId=`) — `TotalDeductions` computed as `GrossSalary − NetSalary` (informational EPF-employer/ETF already excluded since they were never subtracted from Net)
- [x] Employee salary history (`.../salary-history?employeeId=`) — full `EmployeeSalaryStructure` revision history, ordered newest first
- [x] Leave balance report (`.../leave-balances?year=`), document expiry report (`.../document-expiry?withinDays=`)

# Manufacturing — Production Lines (Phase 2)

Spec: `docs/30-BACKEND-PHASE2.md` (model + rules **and** API — one doc, unlike Phase 1). Frontend consumption: `docs/21-FRONTEND-PHASE2.md`. Security: `docs/02-SECURITY.md §B.6` (narrow DTOs — statuses are never client-settable) + `§B.7` (FIFO row-locking inside the UoW txn).

> **§11–§16 code complete, migration applied, and live smoke-tested (2026-07-30).** `dotnet build` clean (0 errors; the only warnings are the two pre-existing `CS8981` from the badly-named `chages` migration). Migration `AddManufacturingPhase2` — 11 `CreateTable`, zero `AlterColumn`, applied and verified against `information_schema`. **312 smoke assertions, all green**, via re-runnable scripts in `Backend/smoke/` against local Postgres + a real AuthHex session.

## 11. Sub-phase 2.1 — Schema + enums
- [x] 11 entities (`ProductionTemplate`, `TemplateStage`, `StageEdge`, `StageInput`, `StageOutput`, `ProductionRun`, `RunStage`, `RunEdge`, `RunStageInput`, `RunStageOutput`, `RunStageEvent`) + `ProductionConfiguration.cs` (all 11 configs in one file, per the `StockConfiguration.cs` precedent). snake_case tables, PascalCase columns, enums as `varchar(20)`, qty/value `(18,4)`, unit cost + scale factor `(18,6)`, `xmin` RowVersion on template/run/run-stage
- [x] Enums `ProductionRunStatus`, `ProductionStageStatus`, `StageInputSource`, `RunStageEventType`, `CustomFieldType`; `ReasonContext` += `Production`; `DocumentTypes.Production = "PRD"`; new `Domain/LedgerSourceTypes.cs`
- [x] 4 Production reason codes seeded idempotently (`PRD-SCRAP`, `PRD-LEFTOVER`, `PRD-CANCEL`, `PRD-REWORK-LOSS`) — verified live via `GET /reason-codes?context=Production`
- [x] jsonb (`field_defs`, `field_values`, `payload`) as CLR `string` + `HasColumnType("jsonb")`, always written through `ProductionJson` so a column can only hold canonical JSON. Follows the `AuditLog.ChangeSet` precedent; a typed/owned mapping would make `AuditScribe` emit spurious audit rows for the nested entries

## 12. Sub-phase 2.2 — Templates + graph validation (FR-MFG-01..07)
> **Smoke: 38/38** (`Backend/smoke/m2_templates.py`). Zero stock touched.
- [x] `ProductionGraphValidator` — a `public static class`, deliberately not an injected service (pure, synchronous, no DI). Kahn toposort → `GRAPH_CYCLE`; terminal count → `GRAPH_TERMINAL_COUNT`; one combined bidirectional-reachability check → `GRAPH_DISCONNECTED`; direct-parent check → `GRAPH_INPUT_SOURCE_INVALID`; terminal output → `TERMINAL_OUTPUT_ITEM_REQUIRED`. Works in **keys**, not ids, so identical code serves POST and PUT
- [x] `/production-templates` list/get/create/update/status, ETag + `If-Match` (428 missing, 412 stale), `409 TEMPLATE_IN_USE` on PUT while a run is InProgress
- [x] Full-graph PUT reconciliation: stages **diffed** (a run references them), inputs/outputs **replaced**, edges **diffed** (unique `(parent, child)` index). Rebuilt through navigation properties so EF resolves generated keys in one `SaveChanges`

## 13. Sub-phase 2.3 — Run creation, board, detail, quantities (FR-MFG-08/09/18)
> **Smoke: 54/54** (`m3_runs.py`). Zero stock touched.
- [x] `POST /production-runs` — copies stages/inputs/outputs/edges in three passes, scales from the **unrounded** ratio (rounding each quantity once, so a repeating scale factor doesn't compound), `PRD-2026-0000N` from `NumberSequenceService` inside the transaction, entry stages `Ready`
- [x] `GET /production-runs` with `stageSummary` computed server-side; projected to an anonymous type first then mapped client-side (EF Core 10 cannot translate a record ctor alongside aggregates — same failure as `WarehouseValuationDto`, 2026-07-28)
- [x] `GET /production-runs/{id}` full graph incl. events, derived `isTerminal`/`isEntry`/`availableToTransfer`/`actualMinutes`/`costPool`
- [x] `PUT .../stages/{sid}/quantities` — `409 STAGE_NOT_EDITABLE` once started, and re-evaluates readiness (raising an upstream planned qty demotes a Ready stage back to Waiting)

## 14. Sub-phase 2.4 — Stage execution (FR-MFG-10/11/12) · first stock-touching
> **Smoke: 66/66** (`m4_stage_actions.py`) **+ 14/14** (`m4b_uom_conversion.py`). Isolated `SMOKE-PRD` warehouse.
- [x] `…/start` — FIFO-consumes Stock inputs via `IFifoCostingService.ConsumeAsync`, `PRDI` ledger, `actualStartAt`. Consumes `max(0, plannedBase − consumedQty)` so a rework restart draws only the delta
- [x] `…/complete` — produced/scrapped per output + custom field values; `400 REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING`, `400 REASON_CODE_REQUIRED`, Production-context reason enforced. **Overwrites** on a re-complete
- [x] `…/approve` (non-terminal) + `…/transfer` — default full transfer, optional partial, `422 TRANSFER_EXCEEDS_AVAILABLE`, child readiness recomputed. Routes by `fromRunOutputId`, not by edge
- [x] **`IUomConverter` extracted** from `GrnService.ToBaseAsync` into `Services/Stock/UomConverter.cs`; `GrnService` delegates to it, behaviour unchanged. Verified: a stage input declared in a 12× UOM consumes **360** base units, not 30; the ledger records base; an undefined conversion is `422`, never assumed 1:1

## 15. Sub-phase 2.5 — Terminal receipt + cost pool (FR-MFG-13)
> **Smoke: 36/36** (`m5_receipt.py`).
- [x] Terminal approve creates the finished layer at `costPool / goodQty`, posts `PRDR`, completes the run and closes the pool (`409 RUN_COST_CLOSED`)
- [x] **`decimal? valueOverride` added to `IFifoCostingService.PostLedgerAsync`** (default keeps `round(qty × unitCost, 4)`; every existing call site unaffected). Empirically necessary, not theoretical: at 300 units the 6 dp unit cost gives a naive value of `3405.5553` against a pool of `3405.5552` — a real 0.0001 drift. The smoke test asserts the naive product *would* have drifted, so the fixture cannot silently go blind
- [x] Batch/serial-tracked finished goods refused with `422` (this phase defines no batch creation on receipt). **Untested** — no tracked item exists in the dev DB; noted in the script

## 16. Sub-phase 2.6 — Leftover return, rework, cancel (FR-MFG-14..17)
> **Smoke: 104/104** (`m6_m7_leftover_rework_cancel.py`).
- [x] `…/return-leftover` — inbound at the input's consumed weighted cost, `PRDL`, bin null (raw material, not the finished-goods bin). Value computed from the **unrounded** weighted cost and rounded once; a *full* return takes the exact residual so `returnedValue == consumedValue` precisely. `422 LEFTOVER_EXCEEDS_CONSUMED`, `409 RUN_COST_CLOSED`
- [x] `…/reject-intake` — parent `transferredQty` **decremented** (not zeroed, so a parent that also fed another child stays consistent), parent `Approved → InProgress` with `ActualStartAt` preserved, rejecting stage → `Waiting`. Allowed from `Ready` **or** `Waiting` with delivered intake
- [x] `…/reject` (terminal) — whole-run reset with one snapshot event per pass; `plannedQty` and `consumed*`/`returned*` **preserved**, stock untouched. Verified across two consecutive rework passes
- [x] `POST .../cancel` — returns `consumed − returned` per input at the consumed weighted cost (`PRDC`), `balances` dictionary accumulated per item (layers created in-transaction are invisible to `GetOnHandAsync` until `SaveChanges`), scrapped output qty recorded as `scrappedWrittenOff`. `409 RUN_NOT_CANCELLABLE`
- [x] Event history + estimated-vs-actual (FR-MFG-19) — every action writes one `RUN_STAGE_EVENT`; failed actions write none (the write rolls back with the change)

**Bugs found and fixed during this phase (not silently patched):**
- **Template PUT 500** — deleting a `TemplateStage` while a `StageEdge` still referenced it severed a required EF relationship. Edges are now removed before stages; any edge touching a deleted stage is by construction absent from the payload, so nothing the caller wanted is orphaned.
- **`receipt.layerId` returned 0** — the `ReceiptDto` was built inside the transaction, before `SaveChanges` generated the id. Now mapped after the commit (same fix as the `ledgerRefs:[0]` issue recorded 2026-07-13).
- **Runtime messages carried U+2212** (typographic minus) and broke console/log encoding on Windows cp1252. Exception strings now use ASCII hyphens; comments keep the typographic form, matching the rest of the codebase.

**Deviations / decisions (recorded, not silently assumed) — all mirrored into `docs/30`:**
- **§A.1 was a no-op.** `StockLayer.GrnLineId` was already nullable in entity, config, snapshot **and** database. Phase-1 schema was not altered at all; NFR-08 holds without exception.
- **Ledger codes are `PRDI`/`PRDR`/`PRDL`/`PRDC`**, not the doc's 15–22-char names — `SourceDocType` is `varchar(10)` on both `stock_ledger` and `journal_entry_stubs`, and widening it would have been a second Phase-1 schema change.
- **Three additions to Part C:** `RUN_EDGE` (a run must own its edges or a later template edit rewrites completed-run history), `RUN_STAGE.pos_x/pos_y` (the run canvas renders from them), `RUN_STAGE_EVENT.run_id` + nullable `run_stage_id` (run-level events, single-query timeline). `RUN_STAGE.template_stage_id` made nullable + `SET NULL` so a template stays editable after runs complete.
- **UOM conversion is unspecified in docs/30** but essential. Contract consequence: `plannedQty` is in the input's declared UOM while `consumed*`/`returned*` are in the item's **base** UOM.
- **`Idempotency-Key` accepted and ignored**, matching `GrnService.ConfirmAsync`. Status guards are the replay story; `RunStage.RowVersion` (xmin) prevents two concurrent terminal approves double-posting a receipt.
- **FR-MFG-17's "− scrapped" is not computable** at the input level (scrap lives on outputs, in output UOM). Scrap never entered stock, so nothing is deducted; scrapped quantities are recorded on the cancel event instead.
- **`GRAPH_DISCONNECTED` is unreachable** once cycle + terminal-count pass; kept as defence in depth. An isolated stage surfaces as `GRAPH_TERMINAL_COUNT`.
- **Edit-lock TOCTOU accepted** — checked inside the transaction, but under READ COMMITTED a run could still be created against a template mid-edit. Benign: runs copy everything at creation and never re-read the template.

**Not done this pass (tracked, not silently skipped):**
- [x] **Frontend wiring** (`docs/21-FRONTEND-PHASE2.md` §8) — done in the same session; see `Frontend/PROGRESS.md` §§11–13. Not browser-verified (same AuthHex blocker).
- **Batch/serial-tracked finished goods** — guarded with a 422, and that guard is unexercised (no tracked item in the dev DB).
- **`NAV:production` permission** is not seeded; the sidebar still relies on the `bypassCodes` stopgap (same as `procurement`/`hrm`).
- **No automated test project** — verification is the `Backend/smoke/` scripts, per house practice.

> ### 2026-07-30 — Dev-database repair + a drift audit worth repeating
> **`users."Email"` was missing from the database** while present in the entity and the model snapshot, so `ShadowUserClaimsTransformation`'s JIT insert failed with `42703` on **every authenticated request** — surfacing to callers as a confusing `InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements`. `GET /items` and everything else 500'd. Fixed by the hand-written migration `RepairUserEmailColumn` (idempotent `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` + the unique index, matching `UserConfiguration`'s `HasMaxLength(320)`).
>
> **Root cause — four migrations recorded as applied with zero operations:** `ini2`, `initial2`, `chages`, `chages1` each advanced the model snapshot without emitting any DDL. Anything added to the model in those windows exists in the snapshot but never reached the database.
>
> **Method note (this is the reusable part):** a scaffolded probe migration coming back **empty proves only `model == snapshot`, never `snapshot == database`** — which is exactly how this hid. The real audit was `dotnet ef dbcontext script` (which renders the *current model*) diffed against `information_schema.columns`.
>
> **Still outstanding — not fixed here, deliberately:** the same four empty migrations mean **all 25 HRM tables (`hr_*`) exist in the model and snapshot but not in this database**, so every HRM endpoint fails. Creating 25 tables of another module as a side effect of manufacturing work would be worse than reporting it; it needs its own repair migration and its own verification.
>
> **Also worth knowing:** `.gitignore:38` is `**/Migrations/`, so **no migration in this repo is version-controlled** — `AddManufacturingPhase2` and `RepairUserEmailColumn` exist only on the machine that created them. Anyone else must regenerate them.

> ### 2026-07-30 (later) — Three server-side additions the frontend wiring needed
> All three are amended into `docs/30` as built. None changes an existing endpoint's behaviour.
>
> - **`TemplateGraphDto.activeRunCount`** — the builder derives its edit-locked state from it. Counted with its own scalar query rather than an `Include`, because the graph query already fans out over four collections and adding `Runs` would multiply those rows again for one integer.
> - **`production_templates."Annotations"` (jsonb)** + `SaveTemplateRequest.Annotations`, migration **`AddTemplateCanvasAnnotations`** (exactly one `AddColumn`, applied and verified). The builder canvas already drew grouping boxes and divider lines and the contract had nowhere to keep them, so **every save would have silently discarded the user's layout**. Stored through `ProductionJson` like every other jsonb column, so the column can only ever hold canonical JSON; `List<CanvasAnnotationDto>` capped at 200 by `[MaxLength]`, and `Kind` validated to `box`/`line` in `ValidateAsync` because nothing else constrains free-form client state going into jsonb. Deliberately invisible to `ProductionGraphValidator` — annotations carry no graph semantics.
> - **Wholesale replacement is the flip side and is now pinned by an assertion:** a PUT that omits `annotations` clears them. `m2_templates.py` asserts preserve → clear → restore explicitly, because silent data loss is worse than an error.
>
> **Smoke suite: extended but NOT re-run.** `m2_templates.py` gained 10 assertions (annotation round-trip incl. geometry/label/rotation, `activeRunCount` on the graph, unknown-kind rejection, and the clear/restore pair). **These are unverified.** AuthHex cannot issue a token — its configured MySQL host `187.127.102.190:3306` is unreachable from this machine (`MySqlConnector … Connect Timeout expired` on `POST /api/user`), and the localhost alternative in its `appsettings.json` is commented out. `dotnet build` is clean and the migration applied cleanly, but the last full green run of the suite (312/312) predates these additions.
>
> **HRM schema gap CLOSED** (by the repo owner, not this work): migrations `production` (another empty one — the fifth) and **`AddHrmTables`** now exist, the latter creating all 25 `hr_*` tables. The "still outstanding" note in the entry above is resolved; the underlying lesson about empty migrations is not.


## Done
<!-- move [x] items here with date + note if the active list grows long -->

### 2026-07-28 — Dashboard overview endpoint (`GET /dashboard/stats`)
- **New cross-domain aggregate for the frontend dashboard** — `Dtos/Dashboard/DashboardDtos.cs`, `IDashboardService`/`DashboardService`, `DashboardController` (`GET /api/v1/dashboard/stats`). Mirrors `docs/dashboard-implementation.pdf`'s widget list: low-stock alerts (reuses `IReorderService.GetAlertsAsync`, `PageSize:1` since it computes the full count before paging), on-hand total/warehouse-count and stock-valuation total/by-warehouse (all SQL-side `SUM`/`GROUP BY` over `StockLayer`, cheap unlike reorder alerts since they need no per-item live lookup), pending-approval POs, pending (Draft) GRNs, open (Submitted) requisitions, pending (Counted) stock counts, open RFQs. Registered in `Program.cs`. docs/11-BACKEND-PHASE1.md §5.8.
- **Not covered:** GRN inspection-hold counts (`HoldStatus` lives on GRN lines, no list/count endpoint exposes it) and recent stock movements (frontend calls `GET /stock/ledger` directly — no aggregation needed for a small `pageSize`).
- **Bug found + fixed during this work — `WarehouseValuationDto` construction inside `GroupBy().Select()` doesn't translate.** EF Core 10 can't turn a record's constructor call into SQL inside a grouped projection (`InvalidOperationException`, confirmed live via `logs/erpcore-20260728.log`). Fixed by projecting to an anonymous type first (`Select(g => new { g.Key, Total = ... })`), materializing with `ToListAsync`, then mapping to the DTO record client-side.
- **Unrelated bug found while testing this — `GET /items` 500s on every call: `column i.SalePrice does not exist`.** `ItemConfiguration.cs` maps `Item.SalePrice`, but the `AddItemSalePrice` migration (2026-07-22 entry above) was never actually applied to this dev database — despite that entry claiming "Applied to the local DB". Confirmed via `logs/erpcore-20260727.log`; `dotnet ef migrations add` against the current model produces an **empty** migration (no `Up`/`Down` ops), meaning the model snapshot already believes `SalePrice` exists even though the column doesn't — the snapshot and the real schema have drifted. **Not yet fixed** — needs a hand-written `AddColumn` migration (the auto-diff can't see the gap) run against this specific database; blocks the dashboard's on-hand/valuation widgets from ever showing item names, and blocks the entire Products page and every item picker (GRN/PO/ledger/valuation).
- **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (isolated output directory, to avoid the Visual-Studio-debugger file lock that repeatedly blocked rebuilding the live dev instance this session). Runtime-verified against the live log after a VS restart — confirmed reaching real code (not 404), the `GroupBy` bug above was caught this way. Full 200-response verification still pending the next VS restart.

### 2026-07-22 — Item fixed sale price + GRN off-PO items (migration `AddItemSalePrice`)
- **Item sale price (FR-MD-01).** New nullable `Item.SalePrice` (`numeric(18,4)`, `ItemConfiguration.HasPrecision(18,4)`), threaded through `ItemListItemDto`/`ItemDetailDto`/`CreateItemRequest`/`UpdateItemRequest` (`[Range(0, …)]`) and mapped in `ItemService` (create/update/`ToDetail`/list projection). **Sales-only** — it never touches `GrnService`, FIFO, `StockLayer`, or the ledger, so receipt/costing behaviour is byte-for-byte unchanged. `null` ⇒ "use stock value"; the fixed-vs-stock choice is a frontend toggle, not a server field (no `price_mode` enum). docs/10 C.1/C.9 + decision #14, docs/11 §2.1, 02-SECURITY C.1.
- **GRN off-PO items (FR-GRN-01).** A PO-based GRN may now carry lines with `poLineId: null` (item not on the PO). **No backend change** — `GrnService.CreateAsync` already routed such lines through the direct-receipt path (entered cost, no over-receipt check, no PO-balance update). Documented as intended behaviour; the frontend now exposes it. docs/10 FR-GRN-01/C.3 (`po_line_id` nullable) + decision #15, docs/11 §4.1, 02-SECURITY C.3.
- **Migration** `AddItemSalePrice` — single nullable column add; no backfill (`Down()` drops it). **Applied** to the local DB (`dotnet ef database update` → Done).
- **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (compile succeeded; the only earlier failure was the running dev exe holding a file lock, resolved by stopping it). Migration Up applied. Frontend `tsc --noEmit` clean. End-to-end runtime smoke (Swagger/UI) still to be run by the user.
- **PO draft lifecycle (FR-PROC-05 revised).** `CreatePurchaseOrderRequest.SaveAsDraft` (default `false` → auto-approve unchanged; `true` → `Draft`). New `POST /purchase-orders/{id}/submit` (Draft→Approved, else `409 PO_NOT_EDITABLE`) and `DELETE /purchase-orders/{id}` (Draft-only, else 409). `IsEditable` narrowed from "not FullyReceived/Closed/Cancelled" to **`Draft` only** — so `PUT` now 409s on any submitted PO. **Option B ("freely edit while open") is superseded**; docs/10 FR-PROC-05, docs/11 §3.3 updated. ⚠️ **Every pre-existing PO is `Approved` and therefore now uneditable/undeletable** — intended, not a regression. No schema change (reuses the existing `Draft` enum value).
- **GRN discount + VAT + price override.** `GrnLine` gained `PoUnitPrice`(nullable snapshot), `DiscountPct`, `NetUnitCost`, `VatPct`, `VatAmount`, `LineTotal`. All derived figures **server-computed**, never client-supplied. FIFO layer + ledger now cost at **`NetUnitCost`** (after discount) — VAT is recoverable and never enters stock value (docs/10 FR-GRN-06 revised). For a PO line, `unitCost` defaults to the PO price but an entered override wins and a **variance** is recorded against `PoUnitPrice` (02-SECURITY C.3 revised — the "client cost ignored, decision locked" control is deliberately loosened; the variance trail + audit log are the compensating control). Multi-GRN-per-PO at differing prices (the 20/50/30 case) already worked via `openQty`/`QtyReceived` and is untouched.
- **Migration** `AddGrnPricingAndPoDraft` — hand-added a data backfill (`UPDATE grn_lines SET NetUnitCost = UnitCost, LineTotal = ReceivedValue`) so existing GRN lines stay consistent with their already-posted FIFO layers; `PoUnitPrice` left NULL for historical rows (no retroactive variance). `Down()` drops the six columns cleanly.
- **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (0/0); migration **Up and Down** exercised against the live DB (rollback to `AddRolesNavPermissions` then re-apply — both `Done`). **Runtime end-to-end PASSED — 22/22 assertions** (Node script, register→cookie session): PO draft→edit→submit→edit/delete-locked (409), draft delete (204→404), plain create still auto-approves; **costing proof** (100 @10, 10% disc, 18% VAT → net 9.00, receivedValue 900, VAT 162, lineTotal 1062, **FIFO layer @9.00, valuation 900 — VAT absent from stock**); multi-GRN 20@10/50@11/30@12 → variances +50/+60, PO FullyReceived, blended valuation 2010.

### 2026-07-20 (2) — Procurement sidebar submenu (migration `AddProcurementSubNav`)
- The sidebar submenu is driven by seeded `SubNavItem` rows + `GET /auth/me` navCodes; only Products/Settings had children, so **Purchase Orders had no sidebar section**. Added 4 `SubNavItem`s (ids 9–12, `NavItemId 4`) + 4 `Permission`s (ids 19–22) for Requisitions/RFQs/Purchase Orders/Purchase Returns via `AddProcurementSubNav`. The migration also grants the 4 to any role already holding the parent `NAV:procurement` (raw SQL, `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING`); `Down()` removes the grants then the rows.
- **Found:** the `Admin` role (`RoleId 2`) was never granted `NAV:procurement` at all (nor Vendors), so its whole Procurement branch was hidden — granted the parent + 4 children directly. **Verified:** `/auth/me` for Admin returns `procurement` + all 4 children; frontend `tsc`/`eslint` clean.

### 2026-07-09 — Bootstrap verified + Master Data (§1) implemented
- Bootstrap scaffolding confirmed against 00-CORE §5 (solution, packages, `Program.cs` wiring, UoW, generic repo, `ICurrentUser`, ProblemDetails handler). Added enum-as-string JSON (`JsonStringEnumConverter`) and registered the 5 master-data services.
- Domain: 3 enums (`ItemType`, `TrackingMode`, `EntityStatus`) + 8 entities (Category, Uom, UomConversion, Item, ItemReorder, Vendor, Warehouse, Bin) with one `IEntityTypeConfiguration` each; FKs `Restrict` (masters deactivate, not cascade-delete), unique indexes (SKU, vendor/warehouse code, uom name, bin code per-warehouse), decimal precision, `xmin` concurrency token on Item/Vendor.
- API: 5 controllers, lowercase routes matching `docs/11 §2` exactly (verified via generated `swagger.json`). ETag/If-Match (428 if missing, 412 on mismatch), narrow request DTOs (no over-posting), `PagedResponse<T>` list envelope (§1.4), `PageQuery` with pageSize clamp ≤200 (B.6).
- Migration `InitialCreate` generated (`xmin` correctly produces no DDL — uses the PG system column).
- **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (0 warn/0 err); app boots (`Now listening… Application started`); `/api/meta` 200; `swagger.json` 200 with all 13 master-data paths; DI resolves controller→service→repo→DbContext (a DB-backed call reaches Npgsql, failing only on creds).
- **Blocked / follow-ups:** (1) auth enforcement + audit trail — §6 (the remaining security gate for `[x]`); (2) no `DELETE` master endpoints — `MASTER_IN_USE` code reserved until transaction tables exist (deactivate-only per FR-MD-08); (3) minor: bad-enum bind error leaks the CLR type name in `detail` (02-SECURITY B.5) — fine in Dev, tidy before prod.

### 2026-07-10 — Migration applied + live smoke test PASSED
- `dotnet ef database update` applied `InitialCreate` to local Postgres; `/health` → `Healthy`.
- End-to-end curl smoke across all 5 controllers — all green: warehouse/bin create+list; uom create; category + child + `?tree=true` nesting; vendor create + PUT (If-Match 200 / stale 412 / missing 428); item create (201, referencing category/uom/vendor) + GET (ETag header) + list/filter `q` + `pageSize=9999`→clamped 200; reorder PUT; uom-conversions PUT; full item PUT with fresh ETag→200; PATCH status Inactive→204; duplicate SKU→400 `SKU_DUPLICATE`; bad reference→422; missing required→400 ValidationProblemDetails; bad enum→400. Concurrency token (`xmin`) confirmed incrementing per mutation.
- Note: local dev DB now holds smoke-test rows (warehouse/bin/uom×2/category×2/vendor/item, item left Inactive). Reset any time with `dotnet ef database drop -f && dotnet ef database update`.

### 2026-07-10 — Procurement (§2, minus returns) + cross-cutting foundations
- Cross-cutting: `User` entity (+ seeded `system` user via `HasData`), `ICurrentUser.AuditUserId` (numeric actor, system fallback), `NumberSequence` + `NumberSequenceService` (atomic per-type/per-year doc numbers issued inside the UoW txn).
- Procurement: enums (RequisitionStatus, RfqStatus, PurchaseOrderStatus); 8 entities (Requisition/Line, Rfq/Line, VendorQuotation/Line, PurchaseOrder/Line) + configs; DTOs; 3 services; 3 controllers (`/requisitions`, `/rfqs`, `/purchase-orders`). PO carries the `xmin` ETag token; totals computed server-side; create/edit wrapped in `IUnitOfWork.ExecuteInTransactionAsync` so the reserved doc number rolls back with the doc.
- Migration `AddProcurement` generated + applied (10 tables incl. users/number_sequences; system-user seed; PO `xmin` emits no DDL).
- **Verified:** build clean; app boots; full procurement smoke green (see §2 note) — requisition→submit, RFQ→quotation→comparison, PO create/get/edit/approve/cancel, numbering increment, error paths 409/412/422.
- **Deferred/next:** Purchase Return (needs GRN+stock), then §3 GRN, §4 Stock Core (FIFO/ledger), §5 stock transactions. Auth/audit (§6) still the gate for flipping §1/§2 to `[x]`.
- Housekeeping: an empty user-created migration `20260709124415_initial` sits between InitialCreate and AddProcurement (applied, harmless no-op; emits a cosmetic CS8981 lowercase-name warning).

### 2026-07-13 — Stock Core (§4) + Goods Receipt (§3, minus purchase return)
- Entities: Batch, Serial, StockLayer (FIFO), StockLedger (append-only), Grn/GrnLine + configs; enums Direction, HoldStatus, GrnStatus. DbSets + migration `AddStockAndGrn` (6 tables) applied.
- Services: `FifoCostingService` (Services/Stock — inbound layer, ledger post, on-hand, valuation), `StockService` (enquiry/ledger/valuation), `GrnService` (create with PO-derived cost + over-receipt + batch resolve + UOM→base; confirm in `ExecuteInTransactionAsync`; release/reject). Controllers `/stock`, `/grns`.
- **Verified against Postgres:** PO→GRN receive (client cost ignored, PO price used) → confirm → 2 FIFO layers + 2 ledger rows (running balance) → PO FullyReceived; on-hand 5000 / valuation 62500 / ledger In; **idempotent re-confirm** (on-hand stayed 5000); over-receipt `422` at the open-qty boundary, exact-fill `201`; batch receive **OnHold** → excluded from `available` → **release** → available; **UOM conversion** 10×Box-12 → 120 base units @10 (value 1200).
- **Deferred (next):** §5 stock transactions — Transfer (dispatch/receive, in-transit, cost-preserving), Adjustment (auto-post + reason code), Count, Reorder alerts — which is where the FIFO **oldest-first consume + row lock** lands; then Purchase Return (§3.4) and GRN reject→return linkage. `ReasonCode` (§6) needed for adjustments/returns. Auth/audit (§6) remains the `[x]` gate.

### 2026-07-13 (2) — Stock Transactions (§5: Adjustment, Transfer, Reorder) + FIFO consume + Reason codes
- **FIFO consume engine** in `FifoCostingService.ConsumeAsync`: oldest-first, row-locked via `SELECT … FOR UPDATE` (raw SQL, no LINQ composed on top so the lock reaches PG; `{batchId}::bigint` cast avoids a 42P18 null-param error), excludes on-hold + expired layers, throws `STOCK_NEGATIVE_BLOCKED`/`ONHOLD_NOT_ISSUABLE`/`EXPIRED_BATCH_BLOCKED`, returns consumed segments for cost-preserving moves.
- Entities: ReasonCode, StockAdjustment/Line, StockTransfer/Line (+ `UnitCost`/`QtyReceived` extension on the transfer line for cost-preservation) + configs; enums TransferStatus, AdjustmentStatus, ReasonContext. Migration `AddStockTransactions` (5 tables) applied.
- Services/controllers: `ReasonCodeService` (`/reason-codes`, startup seed via `DataSeeder`), `AdjustmentService` (`/stock-adjustments`), `TransferService` (`/stock-transfers` create/dispatch/receive), `ReorderService` (`/stock/reorder-alerts` + suggest-requisition). `StockService.GetOnHandAsync` now computes real inTransit.
- **Verified against Postgres:** adjustment decrease FIFO-consume with blended cost 10.25 across two layers, negative→409, `REASON_CODE_REQUIRED`→400, wrong-context reason→422, increase-at-last-cost; transfer create→dispatch (source onHand↓, inTransit↑, consumedLayers)→receive (dest layer cost-preserved @12, value 3600), dest==src→422, dispatch-short→409; reorder alerts list + draft-PR suggestion; reason codes seeded (5 Adjustment + 4 Return).
- **Deferred (next):** §5 **Count** (create snapshot → enter counts → post variance via the Adjustment engine), **Purchase Return** (§3.4, + GRN reject→return linkage), FEFO pick ordering, `JournalEntryStub`. Auth/audit (§6) remains the `[x]` gate.

### 2026-07-13 (3) — Count (§5.6) + Purchase Return (§3.4) + shared StockMutator
- **`StockMutator`** (Services/Stock): shared signed-delta poster (negative → FIFO consume; positive → layer at last cost) + ledger, run inside the caller's txn. Adjustment/Count-post/Return all delegate to it → one code path for stock-affecting postings.
- Refactored `AdjustmentService` onto `StockMutator` and added an **intermediate `SaveChanges`** so the header id is flushed before ledger posting — fixes a latent bug where new-in-txn documents wrote `sourceDocId=0` (verified: `ADJ` ledger now `sourceDocId=5`). Also fixed `ledgerRefs:[0]` by mapping ledger ids **after** commit (Count + Return).
- Entities: StockCount/Line (+ CountType, CountStatus), PurchaseReturn/Line (+ ReturnStatus) + configs. Migration `AddCountsAndReturns` (4 tables) applied.
- Services/controllers: `CountService` (`/stock-counts` create/enter/post), `PurchaseReturnService` (`/purchase-returns`).
- **Verified against Postgres:** count snapshot 500 → counted 485 → post variance −15 (on-hand→485, adjustmentId+ledgerRefs), positive variance +10, re-post→409; return 100 outbound (on-hand→385), `REASON_CODE_REQUIRED`→400, non-Return reason→422, over-return→409 `STOCK_NEGATIVE_BLOCKED`.
- **§5 is now complete.** Remaining Phase-1 backend: §6 (auth/login + `[Authorize]`, audit trail, `JournalEntryStub`, negative-stock per-item override, FEFO pick ordering). Auth/audit is still the gate for flipping §1–§5 `[~]`→`[x]`.

### 2026-07-13 (4) — §6 audit trail + JournalEntryStub (auth deferred by request)
- **Audit trail (FR-X-02):** `AuditLog` (jsonb `changeSet`) written by an `ErpDbContext.SaveChanges/Async` override via `AuditScribe` — captures before save (accurate old→new), writes rows after inserts get their keys. Create = field set, Update = only changed fields `{old,new}`, Delete = prior row; excludes PK/RowVersion and the ledger/layer/sequence/journal/self tables. Actor from `ICurrentUser` (system=1). `ErpDbContext` now takes `ICurrentUser` (design-time migration still works via DI).
- **JournalEntryStub (FR-STK-13):** emitted for every ledger entry in `FifoCostingService.PostLedgerAsync` (In → Dr `1300`/Cr `2100`; Out reverses; amount = value). Placeholder GL accounts.
- Read endpoints (auditor role, beyond documented §11): `GET /audit-logs` (entityType/entityId/userId/from/to), `GET /journal-entries` (sourceDocType/sourceDocId). `AuditService`. Migration `AddAuditAndJournal` (2 tables, jsonb) applied.
- **Verified against Postgres:** item Create logged full field set (userId 1); item Update logged only `Name` + `UpdatedAt` as `{old,new}`; GRN confirm → journal In Dr1300/Cr2100 amount 700; adjustment decrease → journal Out Dr2100/Cr1300 amount 70; StockAdjustment Create audited.
- **Only auth remains for Phase 1.** Everything else in §6 is done. Auth (~~`POST /auth/login` + global `[Authorize]`~~ — **superseded 2026-07-14**, now external **AuthHex** IdP integration; see the next entry) is intentionally deferred per request; wiring it is what flips §1–§5 `[~]`→`[x]`. FEFO pick-ordering left as a documented deferral (would conflict with FIFO-costing integrity without a physical/cost layer split); negative-stock stays the resolved global block (open-decision #2).

### 2026-07-14 — Auth architecture change: external AuthHex IdP (docs-only pass)
- **Plan changed:** auth is no longer a local `POST /auth/login` inside ERPCore. A **separate AuthHex IdP** (runs on `:5011`, source at `c:\Users\WAS\Documents\Developments\ERP_Auth_Service\`) owns login/registration/recovery; ERPCore becomes a **resource server** that only validates AuthHex tokens. Updated `docs/10-BACKEND-PHASE1.md` (header, A.4 auth/audit-actor, A.5 DI, B.2.3, FR-X-01, NFR-03, C.7 `USER`, C.9, B.8.4 decision #10) and this file. **No code changed this pass.**
- **Decisions (confirmed):** (1) identity = **shadow-user JIT provisioning** — add `auth_user_id` GUID (unique) to `users`, keep all `int` FKs; (2) authorization = **door-gate to an ERP `UserType`/`Role`**, per-endpoint RBAC still deferred; (3) scope = **docs only** now, code integration is a follow-up.
- **Confirmed AuthHex facts:** RS256 (RSA 2048; ERPCore needs the static **public** key — no JWKS), issuer `AuthHex`, audience `AuthHexClient`, lifetime 1000 min prod / 60 min dev; claims `UserId`(GUID)/`UserTypeCode`/`RoleCode`/`NIC`/`jti`/`iat` (no `sub`/`nameid`); BCrypt password hashing; login `POST /api/loginUser {identifier,password}`.
- **Open blockers (resolve before the code phase):** exact ERP `UserTypeCode`/`RoleCode` for the door gate (must exist in AuthHex); RSA public-key distribution + rotation process (no JWKS); shadow-user `Username`/`DisplayName` source (token has no name); secrets hygiene in AuthHex config (private key/SMTP/DB in plaintext); `docs/11 §2.0` still documents `/auth/login` (now AuthHex-owned) — recommend a follow-up annotation.

### 2026-07-14 (2) — Auth code integration: AuthHex resource server (§6 COMPLETE → §1–§5 flipped `[x]`)
- **RS256 validation:** `JwtAuthExtensions` rewritten — `RsaSecurityKey` from `Auth:RsaPublicKeyXml` (AuthHex public key), `ValidIssuer=AuthHex`, `ValidAudience=AuthHexClient`, `ValidAlgorithms=[RS256]`, `MapInboundClaims=false` (keeps `UserId`/`UserTypeCode`/`RoleCode` verbatim). `appsettings.json` `Jwt`→`Auth` (public key + issuer/audience + `RequiredUserTypeCode`/`RequiredRoleCode`); removed the HS256 dev signing key.
- **Door policy** `ErpAccess`: `RequireAuthenticatedUser` + optional `RequireClaim(UserTypeCode/RoleCode)` when configured (AuthHex is ERP-dedicated → empty default = any valid token). `[Authorize(ErpAccess)]` on `ApiControllerBase`; `MetaController`/health/Swagger stay anonymous.
- **Shadow-user provisioning:** `ShadowUserClaimsTransformation` (`IClaimsTransformation`, scoped) maps token `UserId` GUID → local `users` row (`auth_user_id` unique, Username/DisplayName=`NIC`), idempotent w/ race-safe re-read, injects local `int` id as `nameid`. `User.AuthUserId` (Guid?) + `AuthHexClaims` consts + migration `AddAuthUserId`.
- **Verified (minted AuthHex-shaped RS256 token, signed with AuthHex's real private key):** no token→401; `/health`,`/api/meta`,Swagger→200 anon; valid token→200; POST item→201 **audited as shadow user id 2** (Username=NIC, AuthUserId=GUID), not system; repeat request reuses user (1 provision); door gate `RequiredUserTypeCode=WAREHOUSE` → ERP-type token **403**, WAREHOUSE-type token **200**. Build clean; migration applied.
- **§6 COMPLETE.** Only intentional deferral left in Phase 1: FEFO pick-ordering (§6, `[~]`). Follow-ups: set the real ERP `Auth:RequiredUserTypeCode`/`RoleCode` for production; secure the RSA key rotation process.

### 2026-07-16 — Auth proxy: `AuthController` fronting AuthHex (frontend no longer calls AuthHex directly)
- **Architecture reversal:** the 2026-07-14 "resource-server-only, no login proxy" decision (docs/10, docs/11 §2.0) is reversed — the frontend was found to have **zero** existing AuthHex integration (login/OTP/reset screens were UI-only mocks with no network calls), so this was greenfield backend work, not a migration. `docs/10-BACKEND-PHASE1.md` (header, A.4, NFR-03) and `docs/11-BACKEND-PHASE1.md §2.0` updated in place; `docs/02-SECURITY.md` gained AR-07/AR-08 and ticked 3 of 5 B.2 boxes.
- **`Infra/Auth/AuthHex/`** — `IAuthHexClient`/`AuthHexClient` (typed `HttpClient`, `AuthHex:BaseUrl` config = `http://localhost:5011` dev), one C# method per AuthHex `functionName`, hides the `{functionName,payload,reference}`/`{statusCode,success,message,data}` dispatcher envelope entirely; upstream failures → `DomainException` (`AUTH_UPSTREAM_ERROR`/`AUTH_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE`).
- **`Dtos/Auth/*`** — REST-shaped request/response DTOs per function (not a functionName-dispatcher passthrough), matching ERPCore's existing DTO-at-boundary convention. Session-issuing responses (`AuthSessionResponse`, `OtpLoginVerifiedResponse`) deliberately omit tokens.
- **`Services/Auth/{AuthUserService,AuthRecoveryService,AuthAltService}`** — orchestrate `IAuthHexClient` calls; `AuthSessionResult`/`OtpAuthSessionResult` (`Services/Auth/AuthSessionResult.cs`) carry tokens from service → controller only, never serialized.
- **`Controllers/AuthController.cs`** — `api/v1/auth/*`, 24 actions (see `docs/11 §2.0` table); inherits `ControllerBase` directly (not `ApiControllerBase`) since most actions need `[AllowAnonymous]` and its ETag/If-Match handling doesn't apply here.
- **Cookie/CSRF (`Infra/Auth/AuthCookieWriter.cs`, `ValidateCsrfAttribute.cs`, `JwtAuthExtensions.cs`):** `erp_at` (Path `/`), `erp_rt` (Path `/api/v1/auth/refresh-token`, scoped so it's only sent to the refresh call), `XSRF-TOKEN` (non-httpOnly) — all `HttpOnly`(except CSRF)/`Secure`/`SameSite=Strict`. `ValidateCsrfAttribute` double-submit-checks `X-XSRF-TOKEN` against the cookie on every mutating action, exempting Bearer-header callers. `JwtAuthExtensions`'s `OnMessageReceived` falls back to the `erp_at` cookie when no `Authorization` header is present — every existing v1 controller keeps working unchanged under either auth mode.
- **Verified:** `dotnet build` clean (0 warn/0 err) after two passes — first pass hit `CS0051` (a public interface/constructor can't expose an `internal` parameter type) on `IAuthHexClient` and its supporting `AuthHex*` wire types, fixed by making them `public`; second pass caught a cookie-path bug (`erp_rt`'s `Path` was written as `/api/auth/refresh-token`, not matching the actual `/api/v1/auth/refresh-token` route — the browser would never have sent the cookie back on refresh) before it shipped.
- **Not done this pass (tracked as follow-ups, not silently skipped):** CORS (needed once a browser frontend calls cross-origin — `docs/02-SECURITY.md §B.2` left unticked), rate limiting on the anonymous endpoints (`docs/02-SECURITY.md` AR-08), and the frontend wiring itself (`lib/api/auth.ts` + wiring `app/login/**`'s mock pages to these endpoints) — deliberately out of scope per user decision.
- **Live-verified against the running AuthHex instance (`:5011`) and ERPCore (`:5224`, dev):** `register` → `200` with `Set-Cookie: erp_at`(httpOnly/Secure/Strict/maxAge=3600) + `erp_rt`(httpOnly/Secure/Strict/Path=`/api/v1/auth/refresh-token`/30d) + `XSRF-TOKEN`(Secure/Strict, JS-readable), body carries `user`+`expiresIn` only, **no tokens**; the `erp_at` cookie alone (zero `Authorization` header) authenticated `GET /api/v1/items` — confirms the `OnMessageReceived` cookie fallback works for every existing v1 controller unchanged; `GET /api/v1/auth/sessions` (protected, cookie-authenticated) → `200`; mutating `POST /api/v1/auth/change-password` without `X-XSRF-TOKEN` → `403 CSRF_TOKEN_MISMATCH`, with the matching header → `204` + all three cookies cleared, exactly as designed.
- **Found + fixed a real bug during live testing:** `AuthHexClient` trusted the envelope's `success` flag alone; AuthHex was observed returning **`HTTP 500` with `"success": true, "data": null`** on a business failure (invalid-credentials login), which slipped past the `!envelope.Success` check and null-derefed inside `AuthUserService.ToSessionResult` (`NullReferenceException` → bare unhandled `500`, no `code`). Fixed `AuthHexClient.CallAsync` to also fail on `!httpResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode` regardless of `envelope.Success`, plus added `result is null` guards in `ToSessionResult`/`ToOtpSessionResult`/`AuthAltService.VerifyOtpAsync` as defense-in-depth. Re-verified: the same invalid-credentials case now returns a clean `500 AUTH_UPSTREAM_ERROR` ProblemDetails instead of crashing.
- **✅ RESOLVED 2026-07-17 — login works.** The AuthHex fix below was applied (`ERP_Auth_Service`, uncommenting the `PasswordHash` assignment) and verified: `POST /api/v1/auth/login` now returns **200 + `Set-Cookie: erp_at`** for a freshly-registered user, where it previously returned `500 "Invalid credentials"`. This unblocked the §1–§5 live verification that had been pending for two sessions. **Users registered before the fix have a null hash and can never log in** — they must be re-registered (the session's `smoketest_admin` among them).
- **Historical:** `loginUser` used to fail with `{"statusCode":500,"success":true,"message":"Invalid credentials","data":null}` **even immediately after a fresh registration with the exact same credentials**, confirmed by calling AuthHex's `/api/user` directly with the identical payload (bypassing ERPCore entirely) — a bug in AuthHex's own `loginUser`/password-verification path, not in this proxy.
  - **ROOT CAUSE (2026-07-16), in `ERP_Auth_Service` — two independent bugs, both one-liners.** Bug 1 fixed 2026-07-17; bug 2 left alone (out of scope, and email login is what the UI uses). Re-confirmed the failure against a user registered this session (`smoketest_admin`/`SMOKE001`), by username *and* email, with *and* without `userTypeId`.
    1. **The password was never stored — FIXED 2026-07-17.** `Services/UserManager/UserManagerService.cs:97` computes `var PasswordHash = PasswordHasher.Hash(...)`, but the assignment in the `new User { … }` initializer at **line 116 was commented out** (`//PasswordHash = PasswordHash`). Every registered user landed in MySQL with a null `PasswordHash`, so `loginUser`'s `if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(user.PasswordHash) || !PasswordHasher.Verify(...))` (line 230) always threw `"Invalid credentials"`. **Uncommenting that line fixed login outright** — verified end-to-end. Pre-fix users are unrecoverable (their hashes were never written) and need re-registration or a password reset (`ChangeUserPassword`/`UpdateUser` do persist the hash correctly, and `UpdateUser` even handles the null-hash case at line 836).
    2. **Username is not a valid login identifier.** `Repos/UserManageRepository.cs:46` `GetUserByIdentifierAndType` matches only `Email`/`MobileNumber`/`Nic` — **not `UserName`** — and ignores its `userTypeId` argument entirely (that filtering sits commented out at lines 56–65, so the "AndType" half of the method name is currently a lie). Even with bug 1 fixed, `identifier: "<username>"` will not resolve a user; only email/mobile/NIC will.
  - **Workaround meanwhile: `POST /api/v1/auth/register` issues a working `erp_at` session cookie directly**, which authenticates every v1 controller via the handler's cookie fallback. That is how this session's Master-Data smoke test (§1) was run — no login needed.
