+## User Input
+
+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Pre-Execution Checks
+
+**Check for extension hooks (before analysis)**:
+- Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.before_analyze` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+
+    Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Goal.
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Goal
+
+Identify inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across the three core artifacts (`spec.md`, `plan.md`, `tasks.md`) before implementation. This command MUST run only after `/speckit-tasks` has successfully produced a complete `tasks.md`.
+
+## Operating Constraints
+
+**STRICTLY READ-ONLY**: Do **not** modify any files. Output a structured analysis report. Offer an optional remediation plan (user must explicitly approve before any follow-up editing commands would be invoked manually).
+
+**Constitution Authority**: The project constitution (`.specify/memory/constitution.md`) is **non-negotiable** within this analysis scope. Constitution conflicts are automatically CRITICAL and require adjustment of the spec, plan, or tasks—not dilution, reinterpretation, or silent ignoring of the principle. If a principle itself needs to change, that must occur in a separate, explicit constitution update outside `/speckit-analyze`.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### 1. Initialize Analysis Context
+
+Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -RequireTasks -IncludeTasks` once from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS. Derive absolute paths:
+
+- SPEC = FEATURE_DIR/spec.md
+- PLAN = FEATURE_DIR/plan.md
+- TASKS = FEATURE_DIR/tasks.md
+
+Abort with an error message if any required file is missing (instruct the user to run missing prerequisite command).
+For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+### 2. Load Artifacts (Progressive Disclosure)
+
+Load only the minimal necessary context from each artifact:
+
+**From spec.md:**
+
+- Overview/Context
+- Functional Requirements
+- Success Criteria (measurable outcomes — e.g., performance, security, availability, user success, business impact)
+- User Stories
+- Edge Cases (if present)
+
+**From plan.md:**
+
+- Architecture/stack choices
+- Data Model references
+- Phases
+- Technical constraints
+
+**From tasks.md:**
+
+- Task IDs
+- Descriptions
+- Phase grouping
+- Parallel markers [P]
+- Referenced file paths
+
+**From constitution:**
+
+- Load `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for principle validation
+
+### 3. Build Semantic Models
+
+Create internal representations (do not include raw artifacts in output):
+
+- **Requirements inventory**: For each Functional Requirement (FR-###) and Success Criterion (SC-###), record a stable key. Use the explicit FR-/SC- identifier as the primary key when present, and optionally also derive an imperative-phrase slug for readability (e.g., "User can upload file" → `user-can-upload-file`). Include only Success Criteria items that require buildable work (e.g., load-testing infrastructure, security audit tooling), and exclude post-launch outcome metrics and business KPIs (e.g., "Reduce support tickets by 50%").
+- **User story/action inventory**: Discrete user actions with acceptance criteria
+- **Task coverage mapping**: Map each task to one or more requirements or stories (inference by keyword / explicit reference patterns like IDs or key phrases)
+- **Constitution rule set**: Extract principle names and MUST/SHOULD normative statements
+
+### 4. Detection Passes (Token-Efficient Analysis)
+
+Focus on high-signal findings. Limit to 50 findings total; aggregate remainder in overflow summary.
+
+#### A. Duplication Detection
+
+- Identify near-duplicate requirements
+- Mark lower-quality phrasing for consolidation
+
+#### B. Ambiguity Detection
+
+- Flag vague adjectives (fast, scalable, secure, intuitive, robust) lacking measurable criteria
+- Flag unresolved placeholders (TODO, TKTK, ???, `<placeholder>`, etc.)
+
+#### C. Underspecification
+
+- Requirements with verbs but missing object or measurable outcome
+- User stories missing acceptance criteria alignment
+- Tasks referencing files or components not defined in spec/plan
+
+#### D. Constitution Alignment
+
+- Any requirement or plan element conflicting with a MUST principle
+- Missing mandated sections or quality gates from constitution
+
+#### E. Coverage Gaps
+
+- Requirements with zero associated tasks
+- Tasks with no mapped requirement/story
+- Success Criteria requiring buildable work (performance, security, availability) not reflected in tasks
+
+#### F. Inconsistency
+
+- Terminology drift (same concept named differently across files)
+- Data entities referenced in plan but absent in spec (or vice versa)
+- Task ordering contradictions (e.g., integration tasks before foundational setup tasks without dependency note)
+- Conflicting requirements (e.g., one requires Next.js while other specifies Vue)
+
+### 5. Severity Assignment
+
+Use this heuristic to prioritize findings:
+
+- **CRITICAL**: Violates constitution MUST, missing core spec artifact, or requirement with zero coverage that blocks baseline functionality
+- **HIGH**: Duplicate or conflicting requirement, ambiguous security/performance attribute, untestable acceptance criterion
+- **MEDIUM**: Terminology drift, missing non-functional task coverage, underspecified edge case
+- **LOW**: Style/wording improvements, minor redundancy not affecting execution order
+
+### 6. Produce Compact Analysis Report
+
+Output a Markdown report (no file writes) with the following structure:
+
+## Specification Analysis Report
+
+| ID | Category | Severity | Location(s) | Summary | Recommendation |
+|----|----------|----------|-------------|---------|----------------|
+| A1 | Duplication | HIGH | spec.md:L120-134 | Two similar requirements ... | Merge phrasing; keep clearer version |
+
+(Add one row per finding; generate stable IDs prefixed by category initial.)
+
+**Coverage Summary Table:**
+
+| Requirement Key | Has Task? | Task IDs | Notes |
+|-----------------|-----------|----------|-------|
+
+**Constitution Alignment Issues:** (if any)
+
+**Unmapped Tasks:** (if any)
+
+**Metrics:**
+
+- Total Requirements
+- Total Tasks
+- Coverage % (requirements with >=1 task)
+- Ambiguity Count
+- Duplication Count
+- Critical Issues Count
+
+### 7. Provide Next Actions
+
+At end of report, output a concise Next Actions block:
+
+- If CRITICAL issues exist: Recommend resolving before `/speckit-implement`
+- If only LOW/MEDIUM: User may proceed, but provide improvement suggestions
+- Provide explicit command suggestions: e.g., "Run /speckit-specify with refinement", "Run /speckit-plan to adjust architecture", "Manually edit tasks.md to add coverage for 'performance-metrics'"
+
+### 8. Offer Remediation
+
+Ask the user: "Would you like me to suggest concrete remediation edits for the top N issues?" (Do NOT apply them automatically.)
+
+### 9. Check for extension hooks
+
+After reporting, check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_analyze` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Operating Principles
+
+### Context Efficiency
+
+- **Minimal high-signal tokens**: Focus on actionable findings, not exhaustive documentation
+- **Progressive disclosure**: Load artifacts incrementally; don't dump all content into analysis
+- **Token-efficient output**: Limit findings table to 50 rows; summarize overflow
+- **Deterministic results**: Rerunning without changes should produce consistent IDs and counts
+
+### Analysis Guidelines
+
+- **NEVER modify files** (this is read-only analysis)
+- **NEVER hallucinate missing sections** (if absent, report them accurately)
+- **Prioritize constitution violations** (these are always CRITICAL)
+- **Use examples over exhaustive rules** (cite specific instances, not generic patterns)
+- **Report zero issues gracefully** (emit success report with coverage statistics)

+## Checklist Purpose: "Unit Tests for English"
+
+**CRITICAL CONCEPT**: Checklists are **UNIT TESTS FOR REQUIREMENTS WRITING** - they validate the quality, clarity, and completeness of requirements in a given domain.
+
+**NOT for verification/testing**:
+
+- ❌ NOT "Verify the button clicks correctly"
+- ❌ NOT "Test error handling works"
+- ❌ NOT "Confirm the API returns 200"
+- ❌ NOT checking if code/implementation matches the spec
+
+**FOR requirements quality validation**:
+
+- ✅ "Are visual hierarchy requirements defined for all card types?" (completeness)
+- ✅ "Is 'prominent display' quantified with specific sizing/positioning?" (clarity)
+- ✅ "Are hover state requirements consistent across all interactive elements?" (consistency)
+- ✅ "Are accessibility requirements defined for keyboard navigation?" (coverage)
+- ✅ "Does the spec define what happens when logo image fails to load?" (edge cases)
+
+**Metaphor**: If your spec is code written in English, the checklist is its unit test suite. You're testing whether the requirements are well-written, complete, unambiguous, and ready for implementation - NOT whether the implementation works.
+
+**Ownership and checkbox lifecycle**:
+
+- Custom checklists generated by this command are reviewer-owned requirements-quality review artifacts.
+- `[x]` means the reviewer determined the requirements-quality criterion is satisfied.
+- `[x]` does NOT mean implementation work is complete.
+- This command generates or appends checklist items; it MUST NOT mark generated items `[x]`.
+- An agent may assist with evaluating items only when explicitly asked by the reviewer.
+- `checklists/requirements.md` is a separate built-in spec-quality checklist maintained by `/speckit-specify` and `/speckit-clarify`; do not treat that exception as applying to custom checklists generated here.

+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Pre-Execution Checks
+
+**Check for extension hooks (before checklist generation)**:
+- Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.before_checklist` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.

+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+
+    Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Execution Steps.
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+1. **Setup**: Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -Template checklist-template` from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR, AVAILABLE_DOCS list, and TEMPLATE_CONTENT.
+   - All file paths must be absolute.
+   - For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **IF EXISTS**: Load `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for project principles and governance constraints.
+
+3. **Clarify intent (dynamic)**: Derive up to THREE initial contextual clarifying questions (no pre-baked catalog). They MUST:
+   - Be generated from the user's phrasing + extracted signals from spec/plan/tasks
+   - Only ask about information that materially changes checklist content
+   - Be skipped individually if already unambiguous in `$ARGUMENTS`
+   - Prefer precision over breadth
+
+   Generation algorithm:
+   1. Extract signals: feature domain keywords (e.g., auth, latency, UX, API), risk indicators ("critical", "must", "compliance"), stakeholder hints ("QA", "review", "security team"), and explicit deliverables ("a11y", "rollback", "contracts").
+   2. Cluster signals into candidate focus areas (max 4) ranked by relevance.
+   3. Identify probable audience & timing (author, reviewer, QA, release) if not explicit.
+   4. Detect missing dimensions: scope breadth, depth/rigor, risk emphasis, exclusion boundaries, measurable acceptance criteria.
+   5. Formulate questions chosen from these archetypes:
+      - Scope refinement (e.g., "Should this include integration touchpoints with X and Y or stay limited to local module correctness?")
+      - Risk prioritization (e.g., "Which of these potential risk areas should receive mandatory gating checks?")
+      - Depth calibration (e.g., "Is this a lightweight pre-commit sanity list or a formal release gate?")
+      - Audience framing (e.g., "Will this be used by the author only or peers during PR review?")
+      - Boundary exclusion (e.g., "Should we explicitly exclude performance tuning items this round?")
+      - Scenario class gap (e.g., "No recovery flows detected—are rollback / partial failure paths in scope?")
+
+   Question formatting rules:
+   - If presenting options, generate a compact table with columns: Option | Candidate | Why It Matters
+   - Limit to A–E options maximum; omit table if a free-form answer is clearer
+   - Never ask the user to restate what they already said
+   - Avoid speculative categories (no hallucination). If uncertain, ask explicitly: "Confirm whether X belongs in scope."
+
+   Defaults when interaction impossible:
+   - Depth: Standard
+   - Audience: Reviewer (PR) if code-related; Author otherwise
+   - Focus: Top 2 relevance clusters
+
+   Output the questions (label Q1/Q2/Q3). After answers: if ≥2 scenario classes (Alternate / Exception / Recovery / Non-Functional domain) remain unclear, you MAY ask up to TWO more targeted follow‑ups (Q4/Q5) with a one-line justification each (e.g., "Unresolved recovery path risk"). Do not exceed five total questions. Skip escalation if user explicitly declines more.
+
+4. **Understand user request**: Combine `$ARGUMENTS` + clarifying answers:
+   - Derive checklist theme (e.g., security, review, deploy, ux)
+   - Consolidate explicit must-have items mentioned by user
+   - Map focus selections to category scaffolding
+   - Infer any missing context from spec/plan/tasks (do NOT hallucinate)
+
+5. **Load feature context**: Read from FEATURE_DIR:
+   - spec.md: Feature requirements and scope
+   - plan.md (if exists): Technical details, dependencies
+   - tasks.md (if exists): Implementation tasks
+
+   **Context Loading Strategy**:
+   - Load only necessary portions relevant to active focus areas (avoid full-file dumping)
+   - Prefer summarizing long sections into concise scenario/requirement bullets
+   - Use progressive disclosure: add follow-on retrieval only if gaps detected
+   - If source docs are large, generate interim summary items instead of embedding raw text
+
+6. **Generate checklist** - Use TEMPLATE_CONTENT as the structural template and create "Unit Tests for Requirements":
+   - Create `FEATURE_DIR/checklists/` directory if it doesn't exist
+   - Generate unique checklist filename:
+     - Use short, descriptive name based on domain (e.g., `ux.md`, `api.md`, `security.md`)
+     - Format: `[domain].md`
+   - File handling behavior:
+     - If file does NOT exist: Create new file and number items starting from CHK001
+     - If file exists: Append new items to existing file, continuing from the last CHK ID (e.g., if last item is CHK015, start new items at CHK016)
+   - Never delete or replace existing checklist content - always preserve and append
+   - Leave every newly generated item unchecked (`[ ]`); checkbox state belongs to the reviewer
+
+   **CORE PRINCIPLE - Test the Requirements, Not the Implementation**:
+   Every checklist item MUST evaluate the REQUIREMENTS THEMSELVES for:
+   - **Completeness**: Are all necessary requirements present?
+   - **Clarity**: Are requirements unambiguous and specific?
+   - **Consistency**: Do requirements align with each other?
+   - **Measurability**: Can requirements be objectively verified?
+   - **Coverage**: Are all scenarios/edge cases addressed?
+
+   **Category Structure** - Group items by requirement quality dimensions:
+   - **Requirement Completeness** (Are all necessary requirements documented?)
+   - **Requirement Clarity** (Are requirements specific and unambiguous?)
+   - **Requirement Consistency** (Do requirements align without conflicts?)
+   - **Acceptance Criteria Quality** (Are success criteria measurable?)
+   - **Scenario Coverage** (Are all flows/cases addressed?)
+   - **Edge Case Coverage** (Are boundary conditions defined?)
+   - **Non-Functional Requirements** (Performance, Security, Accessibility, etc. - are they specified?)
+   - **Dependencies & Assumptions** (Are they documented and validated?)
+   - **Ambiguities & Conflicts** (What needs clarification?)
+
+   **HOW TO WRITE CHECKLIST ITEMS - "Unit Tests for English"**:
+
+   ❌ **WRONG** (Testing implementation):
+   - "Verify landing page displays 3 episode cards"
+   - "Test hover states work on desktop"
+   - "Confirm logo click navigates home"
+
+   ✅ **CORRECT** (Testing requirements quality):
+   - "Are the exact number and layout of featured episodes specified?" [Completeness]
+   - "Is 'prominent display' quantified with specific sizing/positioning?" [Clarity]
+   - "Are hover state requirements consistent across all interactive elements?" [Consistency]
+   - "Are keyboard navigation requirements defined for all interactive UI?" [Coverage]
+   - "Is the fallback behavior specified when logo image fails to load?" [Edge Cases]
+   - "Are loading states defined for asynchronous episode data?" [Completeness]
+   - "Does the spec define visual hierarchy for competing UI elements?" [Clarity]
+
+   **ITEM STRUCTURE**:
+   Each item should follow this pattern:
+   - Question format asking about requirement quality
+   - Focus on what's WRITTEN (or not written) in the spec/plan
+   - Include quality dimension in brackets [Completeness/Clarity/Consistency/etc.]
+   - Reference spec section `[Spec §X.Y]` when checking existing requirements
+   - Use `[Gap]` marker when checking for missing requirements
+
+   **EXAMPLES BY QUALITY DIMENSION**:
+
+   Completeness:
+   - "Are error handling requirements defined for all API failure modes? [Gap]"
+   - "Are accessibility requirements specified for all interactive elements? [Completeness]"
+   - "Are mobile breakpoint requirements defined for responsive layouts? [Gap]"
+
+   Clarity:
+   - "Is 'fast loading' quantified with specific timing thresholds? [Clarity, Spec §NFR-2]"
+   - "Are 'related episodes' selection criteria explicitly defined? [Clarity, Spec §FR-5]"
+   - "Is 'prominent' defined with measurable visual properties? [Ambiguity, Spec §FR-4]"
+
+   Consistency:
+   - "Do navigation requirements align across all pages? [Consistency, Spec §FR-10]"
+   - "Are card component requirements consistent between landing and detail pages? [Consistency]"
+
+   Coverage:
+   - "Are requirements defined for zero-state scenarios (no episodes)? [Coverage, Edge Case]"
+   - "Are concurrent user interaction scenarios addressed? [Coverage, Gap]"
+   - "Are requirements specified for partial data loading failures? [Coverage, Exception Flow]"
+
+   Measurability:
+   - "Are visual hierarchy requirements measurable/testable? [Acceptance Criteria, Spec §FR-1]"
+   - "Can 'balanced visual weight' be objectively verified? [Measurability, Spec §FR-2]"
+
+   **Scenario Classification & Coverage** (Requirements Quality Focus):
+   - Check if requirements exist for: Primary, Alternate, Exception/Error, Recovery, Non-Functional scenarios
+   - For each scenario class, ask: "Are [scenario type] requirements complete, clear, and consistent?"
+   - If scenario class missing: "Are [scenario type] requirements intentionally excluded or missing? [Gap]"
+   - Include resilience/rollback when state mutation occurs: "Are rollback requirements defined for migration failures? [Gap]"
+
+   **Traceability Requirements**:
+   - MINIMUM: ≥80% of items MUST include at least one traceability reference
+   - Each item should reference: spec section `[Spec §X.Y]`, or use markers: `[Gap]`, `[Ambiguity]`, `[Conflict]`, `[Assumption]`
+   - If no ID system exists: "Is a requirement & acceptance criteria ID scheme established? [Traceability]"
+
+   **Surface & Resolve Issues** (Requirements Quality Problems):
+   Ask questions about the requirements themselves:
+   - Ambiguities: "Is the term 'fast' quantified with specific metrics? [Ambiguity, Spec §NFR-1]"
+   - Conflicts: "Do navigation requirements conflict between §FR-10 and §FR-10a? [Conflict]"
+   - Assumptions: "Is the assumption of 'always available podcast API' validated? [Assumption]"
+   - Dependencies: "Are external podcast API requirements documented? [Dependency, Gap]"
+   - Missing definitions: "Is 'visual hierarchy' defined with measurable criteria? [Gap]"
+
+   **Content Consolidation**:
+   - Soft cap: If raw candidate items > 40, prioritize by risk/impact
+   - Merge near-duplicates checking the same requirement aspect
+   - If >5 low-impact edge cases, create one item: "Are edge cases X, Y, Z addressed in requirements? [Coverage]"
+
+   **🚫 ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED** - These make it an implementation test, not a requirements test:
+   - ❌ Any item starting with "Verify", "Test", "Confirm", "Check" + implementation behavior
+   - ❌ References to code execution, user actions, system behavior
+   - ❌ "Displays correctly", "works properly", "functions as expected"
+   - ❌ "Click", "navigate", "render", "load", "execute"
+   - ❌ Test cases, test plans, QA procedures
+   - ❌ Implementation details (frameworks, APIs, algorithms)
+
+   **✅ REQUIRED PATTERNS** - These test requirements quality:
+   - ✅ "Are [requirement type] defined/specified/documented for [scenario]?"
+   - ✅ "Is [vague term] quantified/clarified with specific criteria?"
+   - ✅ "Are requirements consistent between [section A] and [section B]?"
+   - ✅ "Can [requirement] be objectively measured/verified?"
+   - ✅ "Are [edge cases/scenarios] addressed in requirements?"
+   - ✅ "Does the spec define [missing aspect]?"
+
+7. **Structure Reference**: Generate the checklist following the canonical template in `.specify/templates/checklist-template.md` for title, meta section, category headings, ownership note, notes section, and ID formatting. If template is unavailable, use: H1 title, purpose/created meta lines, an ownership note explaining that `[x]` means reviewer approval of requirements quality, `##` category sections containing `- [ ] CHK### <requirement item>` lines with globally incrementing IDs starting at CHK001, and notes that `/speckit-implement` reads checklist state but does not modify markers.
+
+8. **Report**: Output full path to checklist file, item count, and summarize whether the run created a new file or appended to an existing one. Summarize:
+   - Focus areas selected
+   - Depth level
+   - Actor/timing
+   - Any explicit user-specified must-have items incorporated
+
+**Important**: Each `/speckit-checklist` command invocation uses a short, descriptive checklist filename and either creates a new file or appends to an existing one. This allows:
+
+- Multiple checklists of different types (e.g., `ux.md`, `test.md`, `security.md`)
+- Simple, memorable filenames that indicate checklist purpose
+- Easy identification and navigation in the `checklists/` folder
+
+To avoid clutter, use descriptive types and clean up obsolete checklists when done.

+## Anti-Examples: What NOT To Do
+
+**❌ WRONG - These test implementation, not requirements:**
+
+```markdown
+- [ ] CHK001 - Verify landing page displays 3 episode cards [Spec §FR-001]
+- [ ] CHK002 - Test hover states work correctly on desktop [Spec §FR-003]
+- [ ] CHK003 - Confirm logo click navigates to home page [Spec §FR-010]
+- [ ] CHK004 - Check that related episodes section shows 3-5 items [Spec §FR-005]
+```
+
+**✅ CORRECT - These test requirements quality:**
+
+```markdown
+- [ ] CHK001 - Are the number and layout of featured episodes explicitly specified? [Completeness, Spec §FR-001]
+- [ ] CHK002 - Are hover state requirements consistently defined for all interactive elements? [Consistency, Spec §FR-003]
+- [ ] CHK003 - Are navigation requirements clear for all clickable brand elements? [Clarity, Spec §FR-010]
+- [ ] CHK004 - Is the selection criteria for related episodes documented? [Gap, Spec §FR-005]
+- [ ] CHK005 - Are loading state requirements defined for asynchronous episode data? [Gap]
+- [ ] CHK006 - Can "visual hierarchy" requirements be objectively measured? [Measurability, Spec §FR-001]
+```
+
+**Key Differences:**
+
+- Wrong: Tests if the system works correctly
+- Correct: Tests if the requirements are written correctly
+- Wrong: Verification of behavior
+- Correct: Validation of requirement quality
+- Wrong: "Does it do X?"
+- Correct: "Is X clearly specified?"
+
+## Post-Execution Checks
+
+**Check for extension hooks (after checklist generation)**:
+Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_checklist` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):

+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently

+
+## Outline
+
+Goal: Detect and reduce ambiguity or missing decision points in the active feature specification and record the clarifications directly in the spec file.
+
+Note: This clarification workflow is expected to run (and be completed) BEFORE invoking `/speckit-plan`. If the user explicitly states they are skipping clarification (e.g., exploratory spike), you may proceed, but must warn that downstream rework risk increases.
+
+Execution steps:
+
+1. Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -PathsOnly` from repo root **once** (combined `--json --paths-only` mode / `-Json -PathsOnly`). Parse minimal JSON payload fields:
+   - `FEATURE_DIR`
+   - `FEATURE_SPEC`
+   - (Optionally capture `IMPL_PLAN`, `TASKS` for future chained flows.)
+   - If JSON parsing fails, abort and instruct user to re-run `/speckit-specify` or verify feature branch environment.
+   - For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **IF EXISTS**: Load `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for project principles and governance constraints.
+
+3. Load the current spec file. Perform a structured ambiguity & coverage scan using this taxonomy. For each category, mark status: Clear / Partial / Missing. Produce an internal coverage map used for prioritization (do not output raw map unless no questions will be asked).
+
+   Functional Scope & Behavior:
+   - Core user goals & success criteria
+   - Explicit out-of-scope declarations
+   - User roles / personas differentiation
+
+   Domain & Data Model:
+   - Entities, attributes, relationships
+   - Identity & uniqueness rules
+   - Lifecycle/state transitions
+   - Data volume / scale assumptions
+
+   Interaction & UX Flow:
+   - Critical user journeys / sequences
+   - Error/empty/loading states
+   - Accessibility or localization notes
+
+   Non-Functional Quality Attributes:
+   - Performance (latency, throughput targets)
+   - Scalability (horizontal/vertical, limits)
+   - Reliability & availability (uptime, recovery expectations)
+   - Observability (logging, metrics, tracing signals)
+   - Security & privacy (authN/Z, data protection, threat assumptions)
+   - Compliance / regulatory constraints (if any)
+
+   Integration & External Dependencies:
+   - External services/APIs and failure modes
+   - Data import/export formats
+   - Protocol/versioning assumptions
+
+   Edge Cases & Failure Handling:
+   - Negative scenarios
+   - Rate limiting / throttling
+   - Conflict resolution (e.g., concurrent edits)
+
+   Constraints & Tradeoffs:
+   - Technical constraints (language, storage, hosting)
+   - Explicit tradeoffs or rejected alternatives
+
+   Terminology & Consistency:
+   - Canonical glossary terms
+   - Avoided synonyms / deprecated terms
+
+   Completion Signals:
+   - Acceptance criteria testability
+   - Measurable Definition of Done style indicators
+
+   Misc / Placeholders:
+   - TODO markers / unresolved decisions
+   - Ambiguous adjectives ("robust", "intuitive") lacking quantification
+
+   For each category with Partial or Missing status, add a candidate question opportunity unless:
+   - Clarification would not materially change implementation or validation strategy
+   - Information is better deferred to planning phase (note internally)
+
+4. Generate (internally) a prioritized queue of candidate clarification questions (maximum 5). Do NOT output them all at once. Apply these constraints:
+    - Maximum of 5 total questions across the whole session.
+    - Each question must be answerable with EITHER:
+       - A short multiple‑choice selection (2–5 distinct, mutually exclusive options), OR
+       - A one-word / short‑phrase answer (explicitly constrain: "Answer in <=5 words").
+    - Only include questions whose answers materially impact architecture, data modeling, task decomposition, test design, UX behavior, operational readiness, or compliance validation.
+    - Ensure category coverage balance: attempt to cover the highest impact unresolved categories first; avoid asking two low-impact questions when a single high-impact area (e.g., security posture) is unresolved.
+    - Exclude questions already answered, trivial stylistic preferences, or plan-level execution details (unless blocking correctness).
+    - Favor clarifications that reduce downstream rework risk or prevent misaligned acceptance tests.
+    - If more than 5 categories remain unresolved, select the top 5 by (Impact * Uncertainty) heuristic.
+
+5. Sequential questioning loop (interactive):
+    - Present EXACTLY ONE question at a time.
+    - **Question writing quality (applies to every question, MC or short-answer):**
+       - Lead with `**Question:**` followed by a full interrogative that ends with `?`. The question text before the `?` must make sense on its own.
+       - NEVER use a topic label, section heading, or requirement id as the question itself. For example, `Acceptance device/runtime matrix (FR-023)` is INVALID — it is a label, not a question.
+       - After the `?`, the only permitted suffix is an optional parenthesized requirement/question id. Exact format: `**Question:** <interrogative>?` or `**Question:** <interrogative>? (FR-023)`. Never put the id before the `?`, and never use the id (alone or with a topic label) as the whole prompt.
+       - Immediately after the question line, add one plain-language "Why it matters" sentence (the stake for acceptance or shipping) before the recommendation/options.
+       - Use everyday wording; introduce jargon only if defined in the same sentence. Self-check: a reader who does not know Spec Kit must be able to answer from the Question line alone. Terse is fine; cryptic labels are not.
+    - For multiple‑choice questions:
+       - **Analyze all options** and determine the **most suitable option** based on:
+          - Best practices for the project type
+          - Common patterns in similar implementations
+          - Risk reduction (security, performance, maintainability)
+          - Alignment with any explicit project goals or constraints visible in the spec
+       - Present your **recommended option prominently** at the top with clear reasoning (1-2 sentences explaining why this is the best choice).
+       - Format as: `**Recommended:** Option [X] - <reasoning>`
+       - Then render all options as a Markdown table:
+
+       | Option | Description |
+       |--------|-------------|
+       | A | <Option A description> |
+       | B | <Option B description> |
+       | C | <Option C description> (add D/E as needed up to 5) |
+       | Short | Provide a different short answer (<=5 words) (Include only if free-form alternative is appropriate) |
+
+       - After the table, add: `You can reply with the option letter (e.g., "A"), accept the recommendation by saying "yes" or "recommended", or provide your own short answer.`
+    - For short‑answer style (no meaningful discrete options):
+       - Provide your **suggested answer** based on best practices and context.
+       - Format as: `**Suggested:** <your proposed answer> - <brief reasoning>`
+       - Then output: `Format: Short answer (<=5 words). You can accept the suggestion by saying "yes" or "suggested", or provide your own answer.`
+    - After the user answers:
+       - If the user replies with "yes", "recommended", or "suggested", use your previously stated recommendation/suggestion as the answer.
+       - Otherwise, validate the answer maps to one option or fits the <=5 word constraint.
+       - If ambiguous, ask for a quick disambiguation (count still belongs to same question; do not advance).
+       - Once satisfactory, record it in working memory (do not yet write to disk) and move to the next queued question.
+    - Stop asking further questions when:
+       - All critical ambiguities resolved early (remaining queued items become unnecessary), OR
+       - User signals completion ("done", "good", "no more"), OR
+       - You reach 5 asked questions.
+    - Never reveal future queued questions in advance.
+    - If no valid questions exist at start, immediately report no critical ambiguities.
+
+6. Integration after EACH accepted answer (incremental update approach):
+    - Maintain in-memory representation of the spec (loaded once at start) plus the raw file contents.
+    - For the first integrated answer in this session:
+       - Ensure a `## Clarifications` section exists (create it just after the highest-level contextual/overview section per the spec template if missing).
+       - Under it, create (if not present) a `### Session YYYY-MM-DD` subheading for today.
+    - Append a bullet line immediately after acceptance: `- Q: <question> → A: <final answer>`.
+    - Then immediately apply the clarification to the most appropriate section(s):
+       - Functional ambiguity → Update or add a bullet in Functional Requirements.
+       - User interaction / actor distinction → Update User Stories or Actors subsection (if present) with clarified role, constraint, or scenario.
+       - Data shape / entities → Update Data Model (add fields, types, relationships) preserving ordering; note added constraints succinctly.
+       - Non-functional constraint → Add/modify measurable criteria in Success Criteria > Measurable Outcomes (convert vague adjective to metric or explicit target).
+       - Edge case / negative flow → Add a new bullet under Edge Cases / Error Handling (or create such subsection if template provides placeholder for it).
+       - Terminology conflict → Normalize term across spec; retain original only if necessary by adding `(formerly referred to as "X")` once.
+    - If the clarification invalidates an earlier ambiguous statement, replace that statement instead of duplicating; leave no obsolete contradictory text.
+    - Save the spec file AFTER each integration to minimize risk of context loss (atomic overwrite).
+    - Preserve formatting: do not reorder unrelated sections; keep heading hierarchy intact.
+    - Keep each inserted clarification minimal and testable (avoid narrative drift).
+
+7. Validation (performed after EACH write plus final pass):
+   - Clarifications session contains exactly one bullet per accepted answer (no duplicates).
+   - Total asked (accepted) questions ≤ 5.
+   - Updated sections contain no lingering vague placeholders the new answer was meant to resolve.
+   - No contradictory earlier statement remains (scan for now-invalid alternative choices removed).
+   - Markdown structure valid; only allowed new headings: `## Clarifications`, `### Session YYYY-MM-DD`.
+   - Terminology consistency: same canonical term used across all updated sections.
+
+8. Write the updated spec back to `FEATURE_SPEC`.
+
+9. **Re-validate Spec Quality Checklist** (if it exists):
+   - Check if `FEATURE_DIR/checklists/requirements.md` exists.
+   - If it does NOT exist, skip this step silently.
+   - If it exists:
+     1. Read the checklist file.
+     2. Identify all GitHub task-list checkbox lines — lines matching `- [ ]`, `- [x]`, or `- [X]` (case-insensitive, tolerant of leading whitespace for nested items) outside of code fences. Ignore all other content (headings, notes, non-checkbox bullets, metadata).
+     3. For each checkbox line, record its current marker state (checked or unchecked) and item text into a before-snapshot list.
+     4. Re-evaluate each checkbox item against the **updated** spec (the version just saved in step 7).
+     5. For each checkbox item, update only if the checked/unchecked state actually changes:
+        - If the item now passes and was unchecked: change `[ ]` to `[x]`.
+        - If the item now fails and was checked: change `[x]`/`[X]` to `[ ]`.
+        - If the state is unchanged: leave the marker as-is (preserve existing case to avoid cosmetic diffs).
+     6. Save the updated checklist file. **Only toggle the `[ ]`/`[x]` marker portion of checkbox lines whose state changed.** All other file content — headings, metadata, notes, line ordering, whitespace — must remain unchanged to avoid noisy diffs.
+     7. Compare the before-snapshot with the current state to compute three lists for the Completion Report:
+        - **Newly passing**: items that changed from unchecked to checked.
+        - **Regressions**: items that changed from checked to unchecked.
+        - **Still unchecked**: items that remain unchecked.
+     8. Record the before/after pass counts as checked/total checkbox items (e.g., "12/16 → 15/16 items passing").
+
+Behavior rules:
+
+- If no meaningful ambiguities found (or all potential questions would be low-impact), respond: "No critical ambiguities detected worth formal clarification." and suggest proceeding.
+- If spec file missing, instruct user to run `/speckit-specify` first (do not create a new spec here).
+- Never exceed 5 total asked questions (clarification retries for a single question do not count as new questions).
+- Avoid speculative tech stack questions unless the absence blocks functional clarity.
+- Respect user early termination signals ("stop", "done", "proceed").
+- If no questions asked due to full coverage, output a compact coverage summary (all categories Clear) then suggest advancing.
+- If quota reached with unresolved high-impact categories remaining, explicitly flag them under Deferred with rationale.

+Context for prioritization: $ARGUMENTS
+
+## Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks
+
+**You MUST complete this section before reporting completion to the user.**
+
+Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it does not exist, or no hooks are registered under `hooks.after_clarify`, skip to the Completion Report.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_clarify` key.
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue to the Completion Report.
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`) — **You MUST emit `EXECUTE_COMMAND:` for each mandatory hook**:
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+
+## Completion Report
+
+Report completion (after questioning loop ends or early termination):
+- Number of questions asked & answered.
+- Path to updated spec.
+- Sections touched (list names).
+- Spec quality checklist status (if `FEATURE_DIR/checklists/requirements.md` was re-validated): show before/after pass counts (e.g., "Spec Quality Checklist: 12/16 → 15/16 items passing") and list any items that changed state — both newly checked (unchecked → checked) and any regressions (checked → unchecked). If any items remain unchecked, list them as areas needing attention.
+- Coverage summary table listing each taxonomy category with Status: Resolved (was Partial/Missing and addressed), Deferred (exceeds question quota or better suited for planning), Clear (already sufficient), Outstanding (still Partial/Missing but low impact).
+- If any Outstanding or Deferred remain, recommend whether to proceed to `/speckit-plan` or run `/speckit-clarify` again later post-plan.
+- Suggested next command.
+
+## Done When

+
+## Outline
+
+You are updating the project constitution at `.specify/memory/constitution.md`. The active
+constitution scaffold is resolved at command time from `constitution-template` through the Spec Kit
+preset/template resolution stack.
+
+Follow this execution flow:
+
+1. Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/resolve-template.ps1 constitution-template -Json` from the repository root and parse `TEMPLATE_CONTENT` as the active template.
+   - The shared resolver applies project overrides, composing preset layers, and extension layers
+     before the core template fallback. It MUST succeed before continuing.
+   - If it fails, stop and report the resolution error; do not continue with only one contributing
+     template layer.
+   - If `.specify/memory/constitution.md` exists, load it as the source of current project-specific
+     values and amendments. Preserve information that is still applicable when applying the newly
+     resolved scaffold.
+   - If it does not exist, use the resolved template as the initial document.
+   - Do not write back to any versioned template layer.
+   - Identify every placeholder token of the form `[ALL_CAPS_IDENTIFIER]`.
+   **IMPORTANT**: The user might require less or more principles than the ones used in the template. If a number is specified, respect that - follow the general template. You will update the doc accordingly.
+
+2. Collect/derive values for placeholders:
+   - If user input (conversation) supplies a value, use it.
+   - Otherwise infer from existing repo context (README, docs, prior constitution versions if embedded).
+   - For governance dates: `RATIFICATION_DATE` is the original adoption date (if unknown ask or mark TODO), `LAST_AMENDED_DATE` is today if changes are made, otherwise keep previous.
+   - `CONSTITUTION_VERSION` must increment according to semantic versioning rules:
+     - MAJOR: Backward incompatible governance/principle removals or redefinitions.
+     - MINOR: New principle/section added or materially expanded guidance.
+     - PATCH: Clarifications, wording, typo fixes, non-semantic refinements.
+   - If version bump type ambiguous, propose reasoning before finalizing.
+
+3. Draft the updated constitution content using the resolved template as the required structure:
+   - Replace every placeholder with concrete text (no bracketed tokens left except intentionally retained template slots that the project has chosen not to define yet—explicitly justify any left).
+   - Preserve heading hierarchy and comments can be removed once replaced unless they still add clarifying guidance.
+   - Ensure each Principle section: succinct name line, paragraph (or bullet list) capturing non‑negotiable rules, explicit rationale if not obvious.
+   - Ensure Governance section lists amendment procedure, versioning policy, and compliance review expectations.
+
+4. Produce a Sync Impact Report (prepend as an HTML comment at top of the constitution file after update):
+   - Version change: old → new
+   - List of modified principles (old title → new title if renamed)
+   - Added sections
+   - Removed sections
+   - Follow-up TODOs if any placeholders intentionally deferred.
+
+5. Validation before final output:
+   - No remaining unexplained bracket tokens.
+   - Version line matches report.
+   - Dates ISO format YYYY-MM-DD.
+   - Principles are declarative, testable, and free of vague language ("should" → replace with MUST/SHOULD rationale where appropriate).
+
+6. Write the completed constitution back to `.specify/memory/constitution.md` (overwrite).
+
+7. Output a final summary to the user with:
+   - New version and bump rationale.
+   - Any TODO placeholders or deferred items requiring manual follow-up.
+   - Suggested commit message (e.g., `docs: amend constitution to vX.Y.Z (principle additions + governance update)`).
+   - A `Next Actions` section for any deferred non-governance intents.
+
+Formatting & Style Requirements:
+
+- Use Markdown headings exactly as in the template (do not demote/promote levels).
+- Wrap long rationale lines to keep readability (<100 chars ideally) but do not hard enforce with awkward breaks.
+- Keep a single blank line between sections.
+- Avoid trailing whitespace.
+
+If the user supplies partial updates (e.g., only one principle revision), still perform validation and version decision steps.
+
+If critical info missing (e.g., ratification date truly unknown), insert `TODO(<FIELD_NAME>): explanation` and include in the Sync Impact Report under deferred items.
+
+Write only `.specify/memory/constitution.md`; do not create or modify template source files.
+
+## Post-Execution Checks
+
+**Check for extension hooks (after constitution update)**:
+Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_constitution` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):

+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently

+
+## Goal
+
+Close the gap between what a feature's specification, plan, and tasks call for and what the
+codebase currently implements. Read `spec.md`, `plan.md`, and `tasks.md` as the **sole
+source of intent** (with the constitution as governing constraints), assess the current
+state of the code, determine which requirements, acceptance criteria, plan decisions, and
+existing tasks are unmet, incomplete, or only partially satisfied, and **append each piece
+of remaining work as a new, traceable task** at the bottom of `tasks.md` so that
+`/speckit-implement` can complete it. This command MUST run only after
+`/speckit-implement` has run on the current `tasks.md`, and after `/speckit-tasks` has produced a complete `tasks.md`.
+
+This is **not** a diff tool and does **not** track changes. It assesses the present state
+of the code relative to the feature's artifacts — no git, no branch comparison, no history.
+
+## Operating Constraints
+
+**APPEND-ONLY, NEVER REWRITE**: The command's **only** write is appending a new
+`## Phase N: Convergence` section to `tasks.md`. It MUST NOT:
+
+- modify `spec.md` or `plan.md` in any way;
+- rewrite, renumber, reorder, or delete any existing task (including tasks from a prior
+  Convergence phase);
+- modify, create, or delete any application code — completing the appended tasks is the
+  job of `/speckit-implement`.
+
+When the codebase already satisfies everything, the command MUST leave `tasks.md`
+**byte-for-byte unchanged** (no empty Convergence header) and report a clean result.
+
+**Constitution Authority**: The project constitution (`.specify/memory/constitution.md`) is
+**non-negotiable**. Code that violates a MUST principle is the highest-severity finding and
+produces a corresponding remediation task. If the constitution is an unfilled template,
+skip constitution checks gracefully rather than failing.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### 1. Initialize Convergence Context
+
+Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -RequireTasks -IncludeTasks` once from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS. Derive absolute paths:
+
+- SPEC = FEATURE_DIR/spec.md
+- PLAN = FEATURE_DIR/plan.md
+- TASKS = FEATURE_DIR/tasks.md
+- CONSTITUTION = `.specify/memory/constitution.md` (if present)
+If `spec.md`, `plan.md`, or `tasks.md` is missing, STOP with a clear, actionable message naming the
+prerequisite command to run (`/speckit-specify` for a missing spec, `/speckit-plan` for a missing plan,
+`/speckit-tasks` for missing tasks). Do not produce partial output.
+For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+### 2. Load Artifacts (Progressive Disclosure)
+
+Load only the minimal necessary context from each artifact:
+
+**From spec.md:**
+
+- Functional Requirements (FR-###)
+- Success Criteria (SC-###) — include only items requiring buildable work; exclude
+  post-launch outcome metrics and business KPIs
+- User Stories and their Acceptance Scenarios
+- Edge Cases (if present)
+
+**From plan.md:**
+
+- Architecture/stack choices and technical decisions
+- Data Model references
+- Phases and named touch-points (files/components the plan says will be created or edited)
+- Technical constraints
+
+**From tasks.md:**
+
+- Task IDs (to compute the next ID and next phase number)
+- Descriptions, phase grouping, and referenced file paths
+
+**From constitution (if not an unfilled template):**
+
+- Principle names and MUST/SHOULD normative statements
+
+### 3. Build the Intent Inventory
+
+Create an internal model (do not echo raw artifacts):
+
+- **Requirements inventory**: one stable key per FR-### / SC-### / user-story acceptance
+  scenario (e.g. `US1/AC2`), plus the plan decisions and constitution principles that
+  impose buildable obligations.
+- **Code-scope map**: from the file paths named in `plan.md` and `tasks.md`, plus a keyword
+  search for the concepts each requirement describes, derive the set of source files and
+  components in scope for assessment. Bound the assessment to these — do **not** infer
+  scope beyond what the artifacts define.
+
+### 4. Assess the Codebase and Classify Findings
+
+For each item in the intent inventory, inspect the current code in scope and produce a
+`Finding` only where there is a gap. Classify every finding by **gap type**:
+
+- **`missing`**: the required work is absent from the code entirely.
+- **`partial`**: the work exists but does not yet fully satisfy the requirement /
+  acceptance criterion / plan decision.
+- **`contradicts`**: the code does something that conflicts with stated intent or a
+  constitution MUST principle.
+- **`unrequested`**: the code contains work not called for by the spec, plan, or tasks
+  (surfaced for awareness — converge does **not** delete code, it only appends a task to
+  review/justify or remove it).
+
+Each `Finding` records: a stable id, the `source-ref` it traces to, the `gap-type`, a
+severity, and a short human-readable description with the evidence (the file/area observed).
+
+**Edge cases:**
+
+- **Little or no code yet**: treat the entire specified scope as `missing` remaining work
+  rather than failing.
+- **Nothing remains**: produce zero findings and follow the converged branch in Step 7.
+
+### 5. Assign Severity
+
+- **CRITICAL**: violates a constitution MUST principle, or a `missing`/`contradicts` gap
+  that blocks baseline functionality of a P1 user story.
+- **HIGH**: a `missing` or `partial` gap on a core functional requirement or acceptance
+  criterion.
+- **MEDIUM**: a `partial` gap on a secondary requirement, or an `unrequested` addition with
+  unclear justification.
+- **LOW**: minor partial gaps, polish, or low-risk `unrequested` additions.
+
+### 6. Present the In-Session Findings Summary
+
+Before appending anything, output a compact, severity-graded summary (no file writes yet):
+
+## Convergence Findings
+
+| ID | Gap Type | Severity | Source | Evidence | Remaining Work |
+|----|----------|----------|--------|----------|----------------|
+| F1 | missing  | HIGH     | FR-008 | Example: no append-only guard detected in path/to/module.py when writing tasks.md | Add append-only enforcement |
+
+**Summary metrics:**
+
+- Requirements / acceptance criteria checked
+- Plan decisions checked
+- Constitution principles checked (or "skipped — template")
+- Findings by gap type (missing / partial / contradicts / unrequested)
+- Findings by severity
+
+### 7. Append Convergence Tasks (or report converged)
+
+**If there are one or more actionable findings** (`tasks_appended` outcome):
+
+Append to the **end** of `tasks.md`, per the append contract:
+
+1. Scan all existing task IDs; let `M` be the maximum. Determine the next phase number `N`
+   (highest existing phase + 1).
+2. Write a single new section header `## Phase N: Convergence`.
+3. Emit one checklist item per actionable finding, ordered CRITICAL/HIGH first, assigning
+   zero-padded IDs `T{M+1:03d}, T{M+2:03d}, …`:
+
+   ```markdown
+   - [ ] T042 <imperative description> per <source-ref> (<gap-type>)
+   ```
+
+   `<source-ref>` traces the task to its origin: e.g. `FR-003`, `SC-002`,
+   `US1/AC2`, `plan: storage decision`, `Constitution II`.
+
+   `<gap-type>` is one of `missing`, `partial`, `contradicts`, `unrequested`.
+
+   Constitution-violation tasks MUST be emitted first and described as
+   `CRITICAL`.
+4. Never reuse or renumber existing IDs. If a prior Convergence phase exists, add a new,
+   separately-numbered one below it — do not touch the old one.
+
+**If there are no actionable findings** (`converged` outcome):
+
+- Do **not** modify `tasks.md` at all — no empty phase header.
+- Report: **"✅ Converged — the implementation satisfies the spec, plan, and tasks."**
+- Include the summary counts of what was checked.
+
+### 8. Provide Next Actions (Handoff)
+
+- On `tasks_appended`: state how many tasks were appended under which phase, and recommend
+  running `/speckit-implement` to complete them; note that a follow-up converge
+  run will find fewer or no remaining items.
+- On `converged`: recommend proceeding to review / opening a PR. No further implement pass
+  is needed for this feature's specified scope.
+
+### 9. Check for extension hooks
+
+After producing the result, check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_converge` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- Report the convergence outcome (`converged` or `tasks_appended`) in-session before listing
+  any hooks, so users can decide whether to run optional follow-up commands.
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+
+    ```text
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):
+
+    ```text
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently

+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Outline
+
+1. Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -RequireTasks -IncludeTasks` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **Check checklists status** (if FEATURE_DIR/checklists/ exists):
+   - Treat checklist markers as a read-only gate: scan checkbox state, report status, and ask before proceeding when needed; do NOT modify checklist files or markers
+   - `checklists/requirements.md` is the built-in spec-quality checklist maintained by `/speckit-specify` and `/speckit-clarify`; custom checklists generated by `/speckit-checklist` are reviewer-owned requirements-quality review artifacts
+   - For custom checklists, `[x]` means the reviewer determined the requirements-quality criterion is satisfied; it does NOT mean implementation work is complete
+   - Scan all checklist files in the checklists/ directory
+   - For each checklist, count:
+     - Total items: All lines matching `- [ ]` or `- [X]` or `- [x]`
+     - Checked items: Lines matching `- [X]` or `- [x]`
+     - Unchecked items: Lines matching `- [ ]`
+   - Create a status table:
+
+     ```text
+     | Checklist | Total | Checked | Unchecked | Status |
+     |-----------|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
+     | ux.md     | 12    | 12      | 0         | ✓ PASS |
+     | test.md   | 8     | 5       | 3         | ✗ FAIL |
+     | security.md | 6   | 6       | 0         | ✓ PASS |
+     ```
+
+   - Calculate overall status:
+     - **PASS**: All checklists have 0 unchecked items
+     - **FAIL**: One or more checklists have unchecked items
+
+   - **If any checklist has unchecked items**:
+     - Display the table with unchecked item counts
+     - **STOP** and ask: "Some checklists have unchecked items. Do you want to proceed with implementation anyway? (yes/no)"
+     - Wait for user response before continuing
+     - If user says "no" or "wait" or "stop", halt execution
+     - If user says "yes" or "proceed" or "continue", proceed to step 3
+
+   - **If all checklists are checked**:
+     - Display the table showing all checklists passed
+     - Automatically proceed to step 3
+
+3. Load and analyze the implementation context:
+   - **REQUIRED**: Read tasks.md for the complete task list and execution plan
+   - **REQUIRED**: Read plan.md for tech stack, architecture, and file structure
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read data-model.md for entities and relationships
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read contracts/ for API specifications and test requirements
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read research.md for technical decisions and constraints
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read .specify/memory/constitution.md for governance constraints
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Read quickstart.md for integration scenarios
+
+4. **Project Setup Verification**:
+   - **REQUIRED**: Create/verify ignore files based on actual project setup:
+
+   **Detection & Creation Logic**:
+   - Check if the following command succeeds to determine if the repository is a git repo (create/verify .gitignore if so):
+
+     ```sh
+     git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null
+     ```
+
+   - Check if Dockerfile* exists or Docker in plan.md → create/verify .dockerignore
+   - Check if .eslintrc* exists → create/verify .eslintignore
+   - Check if eslint.config.* exists → ensure the config's `ignores` entries cover required patterns
+   - Check if .prettierrc* exists → create/verify .prettierignore
+   - Check if .npmrc or package.json exists → create/verify .npmignore (if publishing)
+   - Check if terraform files (*.tf) exist → create/verify .terraformignore
+   - Check if .helmignore needed (helm charts present) → create/verify .helmignore
+
+   **If ignore file already exists**: Verify it contains essential patterns, append missing critical patterns only
+   **If ignore file missing**: Create with full pattern set for detected technology
+
+   **Common Patterns by Technology** (from plan.md tech stack):
+   - **Node.js/JavaScript/TypeScript**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `*.log`, `.env*`

+   - **ESLint**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, `*.min.js`
+   - **Prettier**: `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `build/`, `coverage/`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`
+   - **Terraform**: `.terraform/`, `*.tfstate*`, `*.tfvars`, `.terraform.lock.hcl`
+   - **Kubernetes/k8s**: `*.secret.yaml`, `secrets/`, `.kube/`, `kubeconfig*`, `*.key`, `*.crt`
+
+5. Parse tasks.md structure and extract:
+   - **Task phases**: Setup, Tests, Core, Integration, Polish
+   - **Task dependencies**: Sequential vs parallel execution rules
+   - **Task details**: ID, description, file paths, parallel markers [P]
+   - **Execution flow**: Order and dependency requirements
+
+6. Execute implementation following the task plan:
+   - **Phase-by-phase execution**: Complete each phase before moving to the next
+   - **Respect dependencies**: Run sequential tasks in order, parallel tasks [P] can run together
+   - **Follow TDD approach**: Execute test tasks before their corresponding implementation tasks
+   - **File-based coordination**: Tasks affecting the same files must run sequentially
+   - **Validation checkpoints**: Verify each phase completion before proceeding
+
+7. Implementation execution rules:
+   - **Setup first**: Initialize project structure, dependencies, configuration
+   - **Tests before code**: If you need to write tests for contracts, entities, and integration scenarios
+   - **Core development**: Implement models, services, CLI commands, endpoints
+   - **Integration work**: Database connections, middleware, logging, external services
+   - **Polish and validation**: Unit tests, performance optimization, documentation
+
+8. Progress tracking and error handling:
+   - Report progress after each completed task
+   - Halt execution if any non-parallel task fails
+   - For parallel tasks [P], continue with successful tasks, report failed ones
+   - Provide clear error messages with context for debugging
+   - Suggest next steps if implementation cannot proceed
+   - **IMPORTANT** For completed tasks, make sure to mark the task off as [X] in the tasks file.
+
+9. Completion validation:
+   - Verify all required tasks are completed
+   - Check that implemented features match the original specification
+   - Validate that tests pass and coverage meets requirements
+   - Confirm the implementation follows the technical plan
+
+Note: This command assumes a complete task breakdown exists in tasks.md. If tasks are incomplete or missing, suggest running `/speckit-tasks` first to regenerate the task list.
+
+## Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks
+
+**You MUST complete this section before reporting completion to the user.**
+
+Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it does not exist, or no hooks are registered under `hooks.after_implement`, skip to the Completion Report.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_implement` key.
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue to the Completion Report.
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`) — **You MUST emit `EXECUTE_COMMAND:` for each mandatory hook**:
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}

+## Outline
+
+1. **Setup**: Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/setup-plan.ps1 -Json` from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_SPEC, IMPL_PLAN, SPECS_DIR, BRANCH. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **Load context**: Read FEATURE_SPEC and `.specify/memory/constitution.md`. Load IMPL_PLAN template (already copied).
+
+3. **Execute plan workflow**: Follow the structure in IMPL_PLAN template to:
+   - Fill Technical Context (mark unknowns as "NEEDS CLARIFICATION")
+   - Fill Constitution Check section from constitution
+   - Evaluate gates (ERROR if violations unjustified)
+   - Phase 0: Generate research.md (resolve all NEEDS CLARIFICATION)
+   - Phase 1: Generate data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md
+   - Re-evaluate Constitution Check post-design

+## Completion Report
+
+Command ends after Phase 1 design. Report branch, IMPL_PLAN path, and generated artifacts.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 0: Outline & Research
+
+1. **Extract unknowns from Technical Context** above:
+   - For each NEEDS CLARIFICATION → research task
+   - For each dependency → best practices task
+   - For each integration → patterns task
+
+2. **Generate and dispatch research agents**:
+
+   ```text
+   For each unknown in Technical Context:
+     Task: "Research {unknown} for {feature context}"
+   For each technology choice:
+     Task: "Find best practices for {tech} in {domain}"
+   ```
+
+3. **Consolidate findings** in `research.md` using format:
+   - Decision: [what was chosen]
+   - Rationale: [why chosen]
+   - Alternatives considered: [what else evaluated]
+
+**Output**: research.md with all NEEDS CLARIFICATION resolved
+
+### Phase 1: Design & Contracts
+
+**Prerequisites:** `research.md` complete
+
+1. **Extract entities from feature spec** → `data-model.md`:
+   - Entity name, fields, relationships
+   - Validation rules from requirements
+   - State transitions if applicable
+
+2. **Define interface contracts** (if project has external interfaces) → `/contracts/`:
+   - Identify what interfaces the project exposes to users or other systems
+   - Document the contract format appropriate for the project type
+   - Examples: public APIs for libraries, command schemas for CLI tools, endpoints for web services, grammars for parsers, UI contracts for applications
+   - Skip if project is purely internal (build scripts, one-off tools, etc.)
+
+3. **Create quickstart validation guide** → `quickstart.md`:
+   - Document runnable validation scenarios that prove the feature works end-to-end
+   - Include prerequisites, setup commands, test/run commands, and expected outcomes
+   - Use links or references to contracts and data model details instead of duplicating them
+   - Do not include full implementation code, model/service/controller bodies, migrations, or complete test suites
+   - Keep this artifact as a validation/run guide; implementation details belong in `tasks.md` and the implementation phase
+
+**Output**: data-model.md, /contracts/*, quickstart.md
+
+## Key rules
+
+- Use absolute paths for filesystem operations; use project-relative paths for references in documentation
+- ERROR on gate failures or unresolved clarifications
+
+## Done When
+
+- [ ] Plan workflow executed and design artifacts generated
+- [ ] Extension hooks dispatched or skipped according to the rules in Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks above
+- [ ] Completion reported to user with branch, plan path, and generated artifacts

+    ## Extension Hooks
+

+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+
+    Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Outline.
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Outline
+
+The text the user typed after `/speckit-specify` in the triggering message **is** the feature description. Assume you always have it available in this conversation even if `$ARGUMENTS` appears literally below. Do not ask the user to repeat it unless they provided an empty command.
+
+Given that feature description, do this:
+
+1. **Generate a concise short name** (2-4 words) for the feature:
+   - Analyze the feature description and extract the most meaningful keywords
+   - Create a 2-4 word short name that captures the essence of the feature
+   - Use action-noun format when possible (e.g., "add-user-auth", "fix-payment-bug")
+   - Preserve technical terms and acronyms (OAuth2, API, JWT, etc.)
+   - Keep it concise but descriptive enough to understand the feature at a glance
+   - Examples:
+     - "I want to add user authentication" → "user-auth"
+     - "Implement OAuth2 integration for the API" → "oauth2-api-integration"
+     - "Create a dashboard for analytics" → "analytics-dashboard"
+     - "Fix payment processing timeout bug" → "fix-payment-timeout"
+
+2. **Branch creation** (optional, via hook):
+
+   If a `before_specify` hook ran successfully in the Pre-Execution Checks above, it will have created/switched to a git branch and output JSON containing `BRANCH_NAME` and `FEATURE_NUM`. Note these values for reference, but the branch name does **not** dictate the spec directory name.
+
+   If the user explicitly provided `GIT_BRANCH_NAME`, pass it through to the hook so the branch script uses the exact value as the branch name (bypassing all prefix/suffix generation).
+
+3. **Create the spec feature directory**:
+
+   Specs live under the default `specs/` directory unless the user explicitly provides `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`.
+
+   **Resolution order for `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`**:
+   1. If the user explicitly provided `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` (e.g., via environment variable, argument, or configuration), use it as-is
+   2. Otherwise, auto-generate it under `specs/`:
+      - Check `.specify/init-options.json` for `feature_numbering` (preferred) or `branch_numbering` (deprecated, migration only — will be removed in a future release)
+      - If `"timestamp"`: prefix is `YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS` (current timestamp)
+      - If `"sequential"` or absent: prefix is `NNN` (next available 3-digit number after scanning existing directories in `specs/`)
+      - Construct the directory name: `<prefix>-<short-name>` (e.g., `003-user-auth` or `20260319-143022-user-auth`)
+      - Set `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` to `specs/<directory-name>`
+      - If `branch_numbering` was used (and `feature_numbering` was absent), emit a one-line warning: "⚠️ `branch_numbering` in init-options.json is deprecated. Rename to `feature_numbering`."
+
+   **Create the directory and spec file**:
+   - `mkdir -p SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`
+   - Resolve the active `spec-template` through the Spec Kit preset/template resolution stack (equivalent to `specify preset resolve spec-template`)
+   - Copy the resolved `spec-template` file to `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY/spec.md` as the starting point
+   - Set `SPEC_FILE` to `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY/spec.md`
+   - Persist the resolved path to `.specify/feature.json`:
+     ```json
+     {
+       "feature_directory": "<resolved feature dir>"
+     }
+     ```
+     Write the actual resolved directory path value (for example, `specs/003-user-auth`), not the literal string `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY`.
+     This allows downstream commands (`/speckit-plan`, `/speckit-tasks`, etc.) to locate the feature directory without relying on git branch name conventions.
+
+   **IMPORTANT**:
+   - You must only create one feature per `/speckit-specify` invocation
+   - The spec directory name and the git branch name are independent — they may be the same but that is the user's choice
+   - The spec directory and file are always created by this command, never by the hook
+
+4. Load the resolved active `spec-template` file to understand required sections.
+
+5. **IF EXISTS**: Load `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for project principles and governance constraints.
+
+6. Follow this execution flow:
+    1. Parse user description from arguments
+       If empty: ERROR "No feature description provided"
+    2. Extract key concepts from description
+       Identify: actors, actions, data, constraints
+    3. For unclear aspects:
+       - Make informed guesses based on context and industry standards
+       - Only mark with [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: specific question] if:
+         - The choice significantly impacts feature scope or user experience
+         - Multiple reasonable interpretations exist with different implications
+         - No reasonable default exists
+       - **LIMIT: Maximum 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers total**
+       - Prioritize clarifications by impact: scope > security/privacy > user experience > technical details
+    4. Fill User Scenarios & Testing section
+       If no clear user flow: ERROR "Cannot determine user scenarios"
+    5. Generate Functional Requirements
+       Each requirement must be testable
+       Use reasonable defaults for unspecified details (document assumptions in Assumptions section)
+    6. Define Success Criteria
+       Create measurable, technology-agnostic outcomes
+       Include both quantitative metrics (time, performance, volume) and qualitative measures (user satisfaction, task completion)
+       Each criterion must be verifiable without implementation details
+    7. Identify Key Entities (if data involved)
+    8. Return: SUCCESS (spec ready for planning)
+
+7. Write the specification to SPEC_FILE using the template structure, replacing placeholders with concrete details derived from the feature description (arguments) while preserving section order and headings.
+
+8. **Specification Quality Validation**: After writing the initial spec, validate it against quality criteria:
+
+   a. **Create Spec Quality Checklist**: Generate a checklist file at `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY/checklists/requirements.md` using the checklist template structure with these validation items:
+
+      ```markdown
+      # Specification Quality Checklist: [FEATURE NAME]
+
+      **Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
+      **Created**: [DATE]
+      **Feature**: [Link to spec.md]
+
+      ## Content Quality
+
+      - [ ] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+      - [ ] Focused on user value and business needs
+      - [ ] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+      - [ ] All mandatory sections completed
+
+      ## Requirement Completeness
+
+      - [ ] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+      - [ ] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+      - [ ] Success criteria are measurable
+      - [ ] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
+      - [ ] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+      - [ ] Edge cases are identified
+      - [ ] Scope is clearly bounded
+      - [ ] Dependencies and assumptions identified
+
+      ## Feature Readiness
+
+      - [ ] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+      - [ ] User scenarios cover primary flows
+      - [ ] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
+      - [ ] No implementation details leak into specification
+
+      ## Notes
+
+      - Items marked incomplete require spec updates before `/speckit-clarify` or `/speckit-plan`
+      ```
+
+   b. **Run Validation Check**: Review the spec against each checklist item:
+      - For each item, determine if it passes or fails
+      - Document specific issues found (quote relevant spec sections)
+
+   c. **Handle Validation Results**:
+
+      - **If all items pass**: Mark checklist complete and proceed to the Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks section
+
+      - **If items fail (excluding [NEEDS CLARIFICATION])**:
+        1. List the failing items and specific issues
+        2. Update the spec to address each issue
+        3. Re-run validation until all items pass (max 3 iterations)
+        4. If still failing after 3 iterations, document remaining issues in checklist notes and warn user
+
+      - **If [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain**:
+        1. Extract all [NEEDS CLARIFICATION: ...] markers from the spec
+        2. **LIMIT CHECK**: If more than 3 markers exist, keep only the 3 most critical (by scope/security/UX impact) and make informed guesses for the rest
+        3. For each clarification needed (max 3), present options to user in this format:
+
+           ```markdown
+           ## Question [N]: [Topic]
+
+           **Context**: [Quote relevant spec section]
+
+           **What we need to know**: [Specific question from NEEDS CLARIFICATION marker]
+
+           **Suggested Answers**:
+
+           | Option | Answer | Implications |
+           |--------|--------|--------------|
+           | A      | [First suggested answer] | [What this means for the feature] |
+           | B      | [Second suggested answer] | [What this means for the feature] |
+           | C      | [Third suggested answer] | [What this means for the feature] |
+           | Custom | Provide your own answer | [Explain how to provide custom input] |
+
+           **Your choice**: _[Wait for user response]_
+           ```
+
+        4. **CRITICAL - Table Formatting**: Ensure markdown tables are properly formatted:
+           - Use consistent spacing with pipes aligned
+           - Each cell should have spaces around content: `| Content |` not `|Content|`
+           - Header separator must have at least 3 dashes: `|--------|`
+           - Test that the table renders correctly in markdown preview
+        5. Number questions sequentially (Q1, Q2, Q3 - max 3 total)
+        6. Present all questions together before waiting for responses
+        7. Wait for user to respond with their choices for all questions (e.g., "Q1: A, Q2: Custom - [details], Q3: B")
+        8. Update the spec by replacing each [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] marker with the user's selected or provided answer
+        9. Re-run validation after all clarifications are resolved
+
+   d. **Update Checklist**: After each validation iteration, update the checklist file with current pass/fail status
+
+## Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks
+
+**You MUST complete this section before reporting completion to the user.**
+
+Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it does not exist, or no hooks are registered under `hooks.after_specify`, skip to the Completion Report.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_specify` key.
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue to the Completion Report.
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`) — **You MUST emit `EXECUTE_COMMAND:` for each mandatory hook**:
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`).

+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+
+## Completion Report
+
+Report completion to the user with:
+- `SPECIFY_FEATURE_DIRECTORY` — the feature directory path
+- `SPEC_FILE` — the spec file path
+- Checklist results summary
+- Readiness for the next phase (`/speckit-clarify` or `/speckit-plan`)
+
+**NOTE:** Branch creation is handled by the `before_specify` hook (git extension). Spec directory and file creation are always handled by this core command.
+
+## Quick Guidelines
+
+- Focus on **WHAT** users need and **WHY**.
+- Avoid HOW to implement (no tech stack, APIs, code structure).
+- Written for business stakeholders, not developers.
+- DO NOT create any checklists that are embedded in the spec. That will be a separate command.
+
+### Section Requirements
+
+- **Mandatory sections**: Must be completed for every feature
+- **Optional sections**: Include only when relevant to the feature
+- When a section doesn't apply, remove it entirely (don't leave as "N/A")
+
+### For AI Generation
+
+When creating this spec from a user prompt:
+
+1. **Make informed guesses**: Use context, industry standards, and common patterns to fill gaps
+2. **Document assumptions**: Record reasonable defaults in the Assumptions section
+3. **Limit clarifications**: Maximum 3 [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers - use only for critical decisions that:
+   - Significantly impact feature scope or user experience
+   - Have multiple reasonable interpretations with different implications
+   - Lack any reasonable default
+4. **Prioritize clarifications**: scope > security/privacy > user experience > technical details
+5. **Think like a tester**: Every vague requirement should fail the "testable and unambiguous" checklist item
+6. **Common areas needing clarification** (only if no reasonable default exists):
+   - Feature scope and boundaries (include/exclude specific use cases)
+   - User types and permissions (if multiple conflicting interpretations possible)
+   - Security/compliance requirements (when legally/financially significant)
+
+**Examples of reasonable defaults** (don't ask about these):
+
+- Data retention: Industry-standard practices for the domain
+- Performance targets: Standard web/mobile app expectations unless specified
+- Error handling: User-friendly messages with appropriate fallbacks
+- Authentication method: Standard session-based or OAuth2 for web apps
+- Integration patterns: Use project-appropriate patterns (REST/GraphQL for web services, function calls for libraries, CLI args for tools, etc.)
+
+### Success Criteria Guidelines
+
+Success criteria must be:
+
+1. **Measurable**: Include specific metrics (time, percentage, count, rate)
+2. **Technology-agnostic**: No mention of frameworks, languages, databases, or tools
+3. **User-focused**: Describe outcomes from user/business perspective, not system internals
+4. **Verifiable**: Can be tested/validated without knowing implementation details
+
+**Good examples**:
+
+- "Users can complete checkout in under 3 minutes"
+- "System supports 10,000 concurrent users"
+- "95% of searches return results in under 1 second"
+- "Task completion rate improves by 40%"
+
+**Bad examples** (implementation-focused):
+
+- "API response time is under 200ms" (too technical, use "Users see results instantly")
+- "Database can handle 1000 TPS" (implementation detail, use user-facing metric)
+- "React components render efficiently" (framework-specific)
+- "Redis cache hit rate above 80%" (technology-specific)
+
+## Done When
+
+- [ ] Specification written to `SPEC_FILE` and validated against quality checklist
+- [ ] Extension hooks dispatched or skipped according to the rules in Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks above
+- [ ] Completion reported to user with feature directory, spec file path, and checklist results

+```text
+$ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).
+
+## Pre-Execution Checks
+
+**Check for extension hooks (before tasks generation)**:
+- Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.before_tasks` key
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue normally
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation

+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Optional hook** (`optional: true`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Optional Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`):
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Pre-Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+
+    Wait for the result of the hook command before proceeding to the Outline.
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing. Run it the same way you would run the command yourself in this agent/session (the invocation may differ from the literal `{command}` id shown above, e.g. a skills-mode agent runs it as `/skill:speckit-...` or `$speckit-...`). Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Outline
+
+1. **Setup**: Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/setup-tasks.ps1 -Json` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR, TASKS_TEMPLATE_CONTENT, TASKS_TEMPLATE, and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. `FEATURE_DIR` and `TASKS_TEMPLATE` must be absolute paths when provided. `AVAILABLE_DOCS` is a list of document names/relative paths available under `FEATURE_DIR` (for example `research.md` or `contracts/`). For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+
+2. **Load design documents**: Read from FEATURE_DIR:
+   - **Required**: plan.md (tech stack, libraries, structure), spec.md (user stories with priorities)
+   - **Optional**: data-model.md (entities), contracts/ (interface contracts), research.md (decisions), quickstart.md (test scenarios)
+   - **IF EXISTS**: Load `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for project principles and governance constraints
+   - Note: Not all projects have all documents. Generate tasks based on what's available.
+
+3. **Execute task generation workflow**:
+   - Load plan.md and extract tech stack, libraries, project structure
+   - Load spec.md and extract user stories with their priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.)
+   - If data-model.md exists: Extract entities and map to user stories
+   - If contracts/ exists: Map interface contracts to user stories
+   - If research.md exists: Extract decisions for setup tasks
+   - Generate tasks organized by user story (see Task Generation Rules below)
+   - Generate dependency graph showing user story completion order
+   - Create parallel execution examples per user story
+   - Validate task completeness (each user story has all needed tasks, independently testable)
+
+4. **Generate tasks.md**: Use TASKS_TEMPLATE_CONTENT (from the JSON output above) as the structure. For compatibility with older setup scripts that omit TASKS_TEMPLATE_CONTENT, read TASKS_TEMPLATE instead. Fill with:
+   - Correct feature name from plan.md
+   - Phase 1: Setup tasks (project initialization)
+   - Phase 2: Foundational tasks (blocking prerequisites for all user stories)
+   - Phase 3+: One phase per user story (in priority order from spec.md)
+   - Each phase includes: story goal, independent test criteria, tests (if requested), implementation tasks
+   - Final Phase: Polish & cross-cutting concerns
+   - All tasks must follow the strict checklist format (see Task Generation Rules below)
+   - Clear file paths for each task
+   - Dependencies section showing story completion order
+   - Parallel execution examples per story
+   - Implementation strategy section (MVP first, incremental delivery)
+
+## Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks
+
+**You MUST complete this section before reporting completion to the user.**
+
+Check if `.specify/extensions.yml` exists in the project root.
+- If it does not exist, or no hooks are registered under `hooks.after_tasks`, skip to the Completion Report.
+- If it exists, read it and look for entries under the `hooks.after_tasks` key.
+- If the YAML cannot be parsed or is invalid, skip hook checking silently and continue to the Completion Report.
+- Filter out hooks where `enabled` is explicitly `false`. Treat hooks without an `enabled` field as enabled by default.
+- For each remaining hook, do **not** attempt to interpret or evaluate hook `condition` expressions:
+  - If the hook has no `condition` field, or it is null/empty, treat the hook as executable
+  - If the hook defines a non-empty `condition`, skip the hook and leave condition evaluation to the HookExecutor implementation
+- When constructing command invocations from hook command names, replace dots (`.`) with hyphens (`-`). For example, `speckit.git.commit` → `/speckit-git-commit`.
+- For each executable hook, output the following based on its `optional` flag:
+  - **Mandatory hook** (`optional: false`) — **You MUST emit `EXECUTE_COMMAND:` for each mandatory hook**:
+    ```
+    ## Extension Hooks
+
+    **Automatic Hook**: {extension}
+    Executing: `/{command}`
+    EXECUTE_COMMAND: {command}
+    ```
+    After emitting the block above you MUST actually invoke the hook and wait for it to finish before continuing.

+    Command: `/{command}`
+    Description: {description}
+
+    Prompt: {prompt}
+    To execute: `/{command}`
+    ```
+
+## Completion Report
+
+Output path to generated tasks.md and summary:
+- Total task count
+- Task count per user story
+- Parallel opportunities identified
+- Independent test criteria for each story
+- Suggested MVP scope (typically just User Story 1)
+- Format validation: Confirm ALL tasks follow the checklist format (checkbox, ID, labels, file paths)
+
+Context for task generation: $ARGUMENTS
+
+The tasks.md should be immediately executable - each task must be specific enough that an LLM can complete it without additional context.
+
+## Task Generation Rules
+
+**CRITICAL**: Tasks MUST be organized by user story to enable independent implementation and testing.
+
+**Tests are OPTIONAL**: Only generate test tasks if explicitly requested in the feature specification or if user requests TDD approach.
+
+### Checklist Format (REQUIRED)
+
+Every task MUST strictly follow this format:
+
+```text
+- [ ] [TaskID] [P?] [Story?] Description with file path
+```
+
+**Format Components**:
+
+1. **Checkbox**: ALWAYS start with `- [ ]` (markdown checkbox)
+2. **Task ID**: Sequential number (T001, T002, T003...) in execution order
+3. **[P] marker**: Include ONLY if task is parallelizable (different files, no dependencies on incomplete tasks)
+4. **[Story] label**: REQUIRED for user story phase tasks only
+   - Format: [US1], [US2], [US3], etc. (maps to user stories from spec.md)
+   - Setup phase: NO story label
+   - Foundational phase: NO story label
+   - User Story phases: MUST have story label
+   - Polish phase: NO story label
+5. **Description**: Clear action with exact file path
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- ✅ CORRECT: `- [ ] T001 Create project structure per implementation plan`
+- ✅ CORRECT: `- [ ] T005 [P] Implement authentication middleware in src/middleware/auth.py`
+- ✅ CORRECT: `- [ ] T012 [P] [US1] Create User model in src/models/user.py`
+- ✅ CORRECT: `- [ ] T014 [US1] Implement UserService in src/services/user_service.py`
+- ❌ WRONG: `- [ ] Create User model` (missing ID and Story label)
+- ❌ WRONG: `T001 [US1] Create model` (missing checkbox)
+- ❌ WRONG: `- [ ] [US1] Create User model` (missing Task ID)
+- ❌ WRONG: `- [ ] T001 [US1] Create model` (missing file path)
+
+### Task Organization
+
+1. **From User Stories (spec.md)** - PRIMARY ORGANIZATION:
+   - Each user story (P1, P2, P3...) gets its own phase
+   - Map all related components to their story:
+     - Models needed for that story
+     - Services needed for that story
+     - Interfaces/UI needed for that story
+     - If tests requested: Tests specific to that story
+   - Mark story dependencies (most stories should be independent)
+
+2. **From Contracts**:
+   - Map each interface contract → to the user story it serves
+   - If tests requested: Each interface contract → contract test task [P] before implementation in that story's phase
+
+3. **From Data Model**:
+   - Map each entity to the user story(ies) that need it
+   - If entity serves multiple stories: Put in earliest story or Setup phase
+   - Relationships → service layer tasks in appropriate story phase
+
+4. **From Setup/Infrastructure**:
+   - Shared infrastructure → Setup phase (Phase 1)
+   - Foundational/blocking tasks → Foundational phase (Phase 2)
+   - Story-specific setup → within that story's phase
+
+### Phase Structure
+
+- **Phase 1**: Setup (project initialization)
+- **Phase 2**: Foundational (blocking prerequisites - MUST complete before user stories)
+- **Phase 3+**: User Stories in priority order (P1, P2, P3...)
+  - Within each story: Tests (if requested) → Models → Services → Endpoints → Integration
+  - Each phase should be a complete, independently testable increment
+- **Final Phase**: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+## Done When
+
+- [ ] tasks.md generated with all phases, task IDs, and file paths
+- [ ] Extension hooks dispatched or skipped according to the rules in Mandatory Post-Execution Hooks above
+- [ ] Completion reported to user with task count, story breakdown, and MVP scope

Emitting the block alone does not run the hook.
+- If no hooks are registered or `.specify/extensions.yml` does not exist, skip silently
+
+## Outline
+
+1. Run `.specify/scripts/powershell/check-prerequisites.ps1 -Json -RequireTasks -IncludeTasks` from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
+1. **IF EXISTS**: Load `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for project principles and governance constraints.
+1. From the executed script, extract the path to **tasks**.
+1. Get the Git remote by running:
+
+```bash
+git config --get remote.origin.url
+```
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> ONLY PROCEED TO NEXT STEPS IF THE REMOTE IS A GITHUB URL
+
+1. **Fetch existing issues for deduplication**: Before creating anything, build the set of task IDs you are about to process from `tasks.md` (each is a `T` followed by **at least** three digits, e.g. `T001` — `/speckit-converge` assigns new IDs with `T{M+1:03d}`, which is a floor rather than a cap, so once a file has more than 999 tasks the IDs are four digits or longer). Then use the GitHub MCP server's `list_issues` tool to look for issues that already cover those IDs. Do not pass a `state` value, since omitting it makes the tool return both open and closed issues. Request `perPage: 100` to keep the number of calls down, and since the tool uses cursor-based pagination, request pages with the `after` parameter (using the `endCursor` from the previous response). For each issue title, match it against the task ID pattern `\bT\d{3,}\b` (the `{3,}` accepts four-digit and longer IDs — with `\d{3}` a title containing `T1000` would not match at all, because the trailing `\b` cannot fall between two digits, so that task would be silently neither deduplicated nor created; word boundaries still stop a token like `ST001` from matching, and force the whole digit run to be consumed so `T100` can never match inside `T1000`; this also recognises titles written as `T001 ...`, `T001: ...` or `[T001] ...`) and, when it matches one of your task IDs, mark that ID as already having an issue. Stop paginating as soon as every task ID has been matched, or when there are no more pages, so you do not keep fetching the whole repository's issue history once all task IDs are accounted for. This bounds the number of calls on repos with large issue histories and still prevents duplicates when the command is re-run after `tasks.md` is regenerated or the skill is re-invoked.
+1. For each task in the list, use the GitHub MCP server to create a new issue in the repository that is representative of the Git remote. Task lines in `tasks.md` start with a markdown checkbox, so first strip the leading `- [ ]` (and any `[P]` / `[US#]` markers) to recover the task ID and its description. Create the issue with a single canonical title of the form `T001: <description>`, with the ID written once followed by the task description (for example, the line `- [ ] T001 Create project structure` becomes the title `T001: Create project structure`).
+   - **Skip** any task whose ID is already present in the set of existing issues from the previous step, and report it (for example, `T001 already has an issue, skipping`).
+   - Only create issues for tasks that do not yet have a matching issue.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER CREATE ISSUES IN REPOSITORIES THAT DO NOT MATCH THE REMOTE URL
+

+-->
+
+# SupportHub Constitution
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### I. SaaS Is the Sole Identity & Access Authority (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+SupportHub MUST NOT duplicate, shadow, or re-implement SaaS user identity, tenant identity,
+product access, subscriptions, permissions, or authentication. It integrates with the owning
+SaaS via secure APIs and per-product integration credentials, and stores only external
+references (`externalUserId`, `externalTenantId`, `externalProductId`). SupportHub is the
+sole authority only for its own domain: tickets, problems, support org structure, routing/
+assignment, SLA, escalation, investigation/root cause/solution/verification/resolution,
+knowledge, and support audit. Rationale: a second, drifting identity/RBAC system is worse
+than no system — it creates authorization ambiguity. Exactly one source of truth per concern
+keeps that ambiguity from existing.
+
+### II. Configuration Over Hardcoding
+Support hierarchy, SLA values, escalation paths, routing rules, and assignment strategy MUST
+be admin-configurable data, never hardcoded in application code. Anything the business can
+legitimately change without a deploy MUST be driven by configuration or persisted state, not
+by editing source. Rationale: these policies change on business cadence, not engineering
+cadence; hardcoding them forces a deploy for every policy tweak and makes non-engineers
+dependent on engineering for routine changes.
+
+### III. Layered Architecture With Enforced Module Boundaries
+Every module follows Route → Schema validation → Controller → Service → (Engine/Rules if
+required) → Repository → Prisma → PostgreSQL. Controllers MUST NOT touch Prisma or contain
+business logic; routes MUST NOT contain business logic; the repository is the only layer
+permitted to call Prisma. A module's internals are reachable only through its own public
+`index.ts` — no deep cross-module imports, no circular module dependencies, no giant global
+services. Rationale: this is what keeps a modular monolith splittable later without a rewrite,
+and what makes module boundaries reviewable rather than aspirational.
+
+### IV. AI Recommends, Deterministic Policy Decides
+The AI Support Agent MUST NOT receive unrestricted backend access, MUST NOT invent
+troubleshooting steps or product behavior beyond retrieved knowledge, and MUST NOT execute a
+high-risk action without an explicit permission/policy check — regardless of the model's
+reported confidence. Tool execution is scoped and enforced by deterministic policy code, never
+left to model judgment alone. Rationale: the LLM proposes a diagnosis or action; policy code is
+the actual authority. This is what makes running AI-first support against production systems
+safe.
+
+### V. Evidence-Based Verification
+A problem MUST NOT be marked resolved on the customer's say-so alone wherever a system signal
+is available to check the outcome. Recording a resolution requires verification evidence
+attached to the ticket/problem, not just a customer confirmation click. Rationale: customer
+"yes, it's fixed" clicks on problems that recur erode trust in both the AI and human resolution
+paths; evidence is what separates a genuinely closed loop from a hopeful one.
+
+### VI. Durable Audit & History
+All important operations — assignment, escalation, SLA transitions, resolution, AI tool calls —
+MUST be audit-logged. Full AI session history and full resolution history MUST be preserved,
+never overwritten or summarized away. Every log line MUST carry a request ID/correlation ID so
+a single ticket's full journey (AI session → tool calls → escalation → assignment → SLA events)
+is traceable end to end. Rationale: admin trust, dispute resolution, and debugging all depend on
+nothing about a ticket's journey being silently lost.
+
+### VII. Concurrency-Safe, Durable Job Handling
+SLA enforcement MUST NOT rely on in-memory timers (e.g. `setTimeout`) — enforcement state MUST
+survive a process restart. Assignment and escalation logic MUST be tested under concurrency
+(e.g. two tickets assigned simultaneously must never double-assign or corrupt round-robin
+state), and job handlers MUST be idempotent (a rule firing twice must not create duplicate
+events). Large files (attachments) MUST NOT be stored in PostgreSQL — use object storage.
+Rationale: assignment and SLA are correctness-critical under real concurrent load; treating them
+as single-threaded conveniences is how double-assignment and missed SLA breaches happen in
+production.
+
+### VIII. Problem and Ticket Are Separate, Related Entities
+"Ticket" (the durable, customer-facing record created immediately when a problem is reported)
+and "Problem" (the thing being diagnosed and investigated) MUST remain distinct, related
+entities — never collapsed into one model. Rationale: a ticket exists before diagnosis begins
+and can outlive multiple problem/investigation cycles; merging the two loses that lifecycle
+distinction and makes the AI-first flow (ticket created at `NEW`, before AI even starts) harder
+to represent correctly.
+
+## Technology & Platform Constraints
+
+- Stack: Node.js + TypeScript, Fastify, PostgreSQL + Prisma, Redis + BullMQ, Pino (structured
+  logging), OpenAPI, Zod (validation), Vitest, Docker.
+- Architecture style: modular monolith. Do not decompose into microservices prematurely —
+  the module boundaries required by Principle III exist to make a future split *possible*,
+  not to justify doing one now.
+- Standard module shape: `controller/ routes/ schema/ repository/ service/ types/ mapper/
+  constants/ index.ts`. Modules with real decision logic (not just CRUD) additionally use
+  `engine/ rules/ strategies/ calculators/`.
+
+## Testing, Observability & CI/CD Gates
+
+- Required backend test categories: unit, integration, E2E, concurrency (assignment races),
+  SLA (pause/resume correctness, business-calendar math, durability across a simulated process
+  restart), escalation idempotency, orchestration (capability matching, hierarchy traversal,
+  strategy selection), and AI tool-permission tests (the AI must never invoke a tool it isn't
+  scoped for; high-risk tools require policy/approval regardless of AI confidence).
+- Two critical end-to-end scenarios MUST exist as automated tests at all times: (A) AI resolves
+  directly — problem → knowledge → guided troubleshooting → verification → AI-resolved; (B) AI
+  escalates to human — problem → failed AI troubleshooting → escalation → orchestration →
+  assignment → SLA → investigation → solution → verification → resolution → closure.
+- Observability is wired in from the start, not retrofitted: Pino structured logs with a
+  request ID and correlation ID on every line; `GET /health`, `GET /health/live`,
+  `GET /health/ready`, `GET /metrics` exposed from day one.
+- CI (Jenkins) MUST run, in order: checkout → install → environment validation → typecheck →
+  lint → format check → unit test → integration test → E2E test → build → Docker build →
+  publish → deploy. Production deployments use protected Jenkins-managed credentials; real
+  secrets are never committed to the repository.
+
+## Governance
+
+This constitution supersedes ad hoc conventions and undocumented team habits. All PRs and code
+reviews MUST verify compliance with the principles above before merge.
+
+Amendments require: a documented rationale for the change, a version bump under the semantic
+versioning rule below, and an updated Sync Impact Report prepended to this file. MAJOR = a
+backward-incompatible principle removal or redefinition. MINOR = a new principle added, or
+existing guidance materially expanded. PATCH = clarification, wording, or typo fixes with no
+semantic change. Any exception to a MUST/MUST NOT rule requires explicit written justification
+in the relevant PR description and is expected to be rare, not routine.
+
+Detailed product and system design lives in `docs/00-INDEX.md` through
+`docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md` — this constitution states the non-negotiable engineering
+rules; the docs explain the full system those rules protect.

+# [CHECKLIST TYPE] Checklist: [FEATURE NAME]
+
+**Purpose**: [Brief description of what this checklist covers]
+**Created**: [DATE]
+**Feature**: [Link to spec.md or relevant documentation]
+
+**Note**: This custom checklist is generated by the `/speckit-checklist` command based on feature context and requirements.
+**Review Ownership**: This checklist is a reviewer-owned requirements-quality review artifact. Mark an item `[x]` only when the reviewer determines the requirements-quality criterion is satisfied.
+**Marker Semantics**: `[x]` means the criterion has been reviewed and satisfied for requirements quality. It does not mean implementation work is complete.
+
+<!--
+  ============================================================================
+  IMPORTANT: The checklist items below are SAMPLE ITEMS for illustration only.
+
+  The /speckit-checklist command MUST replace these with actual items based on:
+  - User's specific checklist request
+  - Feature requirements from spec.md
+  - Technical context from plan.md
+  - Implementation details from tasks.md
+
+  DO NOT keep these sample items in the generated checklist file.
+  ============================================================================
+-->
+
+## [Category 1]
+
+- [ ] CHK001 First checklist item with clear action
+- [ ] CHK002 Second checklist item
+- [ ] CHK003 Third checklist item
+
+## [Category 2]
+
+- [ ] CHK004 Another category item
+- [ ] CHK005 Item with specific criteria
+- [ ] CHK006 Final item in this category
+
+## Notes
+
+- Mark items `[x]` only after review confirms the requirement-quality criterion is satisfied
+- Leave items unchecked when they still require clarification, correction, or reviewer evaluation
+- `/speckit-implement` reads checklist checkbox state as a gate and must not modify markers
+- `checklists/requirements.md` has a separate built-in lifecycle maintained by `/speckit-specify` and `/speckit-clarify`
+- Add comments or findings inline
+- Link to relevant resources or documentation
+- Items are numbered sequentially for easy reference

+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+<!--
+  IMPORTANT: User stories should be PRIORITIZED as user journeys ordered by importance.
+  Each user story/journey must be INDEPENDENTLY TESTABLE - meaning if you implement just ONE of them,
+  you should still have a viable MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that delivers value.
+
+  Assign priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.) to each story, where P1 is the most critical.
+  Think of each story as a standalone slice of functionality that can be:
+  - Developed independently
+  - Tested independently
+  - Deployed independently
+  - Demonstrated to users independently
+-->
+
+### User Story 1 - [Brief Title] (Priority: P1)
+
+[Describe this user journey in plain language]
+
+**Why this priority**: [Explain the value and why it has this priority level]
+
+**Independent Test**: [Describe how this can be tested independently - e.g., "Can be fully tested by [specific action] and delivers [specific value]"]

+**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/[###-feature-name]/`
+
+**Prerequisites**: plan.md (required), spec.md (required for user stories), research.md, data-model.md, contracts/
+
+**Tests**: The examples below include test tasks. Tests are OPTIONAL - only include them if explicitly requested in the feature specification.
+
+**Organization**: Tasks are grouped by user story to enable independent implementation and testing of each story.
+
+## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
+
+- **[P]**: Can run in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
+- **[Story]**: Which user story this task belongs to (e.g., US1, US2, US3)
+- Include exact file paths in descriptions
+
+## Path Conventions
+
+- **Single project**: `src/`, `tests/` at repository root
+- **Web app**: `backend/src/`, `frontend/src/`
+- **Mobile**: `api/src/`, `ios/src/` or `android/src/`
+- Paths shown below assume single project - adjust based on plan.md structure

+-->
+
+## Phase 1: Setup (Shared Infrastructure)
+
+**Purpose**: Project initialization and basic structure
+
+- [ ] T001 Create project structure per implementation plan
+- [ ] T002 Initialize [language] project with [framework] dependencies
+- [ ] T003 [P] Configure linting and formatting tools
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Foundational (Blocking Prerequisites)
+
+**Purpose**: Core infrastructure that MUST be complete before ANY user story can be implemented
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL**: No user story work can begin until this phase is complete
+
+Examples of foundational tasks (adjust based on your project):
+
+- [ ] T004 Setup database schema and migrations framework
+- [ ] T005 [P] Implement authentication/authorization framework
+- [ ] T006 [P] Setup API routing and middleware structure
+- [ ] T007 Create base models/entities that all stories depend on
+- [ ] T008 Configure error handling and logging infrastructure
+- [ ] T009 Setup environment configuration management
+
+**Checkpoint**: Foundation ready - user story implementation can now begin in parallel
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 1 - [Title] (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: [Brief description of what this story delivers]
+
+**Independent Test**: [How to verify this story works on its own]
+
+### Tests for User Story 1 (OPTIONAL - only if tests requested) ⚠️
+
+> **NOTE: Write these tests FIRST, ensure they FAIL before implementation**
+
+- [ ] T010 [P] [US1] Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py
+- [ ] T011 [P] [US1] Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py
+
+### Implementation for User Story 1
+
+- [ ] T012 [P] [US1] Create [Entity1] model in src/models/[entity1].py
+- [ ] T013 [P] [US1] Create [Entity2] model in src/models/[entity2].py
+- [ ] T014 [US1] Implement [Service] in src/services/[service].py (depends on T012, T013)
+- [ ] T015 [US1] Implement [endpoint/feature] in src/[location]/[file].py
+- [ ] T016 [US1] Add validation and error handling
+- [ ] T017 [US1] Add logging for user story 1 operations
+
+**Checkpoint**: At this point, User Story 1 should be fully functional and testable independently
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 - [Title] (Priority: P2)
+
+**Goal**: [Brief description of what this story delivers]
+
+**Independent Test**: [How to verify this story works on its own]
+
+### Tests for User Story 2 (OPTIONAL - only if tests requested) ⚠️
+
+- [ ] T018 [P] [US2] Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py
+- [ ] T019 [P] [US2] Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py
+
+### Implementation for User Story 2
+
+- [ ] T020 [P] [US2] Create [Entity] model in src/models/[entity].py
+- [ ] T021 [US2] Implement [Service] in src/services/[service].py
+- [ ] T022 [US2] Implement [endpoint/feature] in src/[location]/[file].py
+- [ ] T023 [US2] Integrate with User Story 1 components (if needed)
+
+**Checkpoint**: At this point, User Stories 1 AND 2 should both work independently
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: User Story 3 - [Title] (Priority: P3)
+
+**Goal**: [Brief description of what this story delivers]
+
+**Independent Test**: [How to verify this story works on its own]
+
+### Tests for User Story 3 (OPTIONAL - only if tests requested) ⚠️
+
+- [ ] T024 [P] [US3] Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py
+- [ ] T025 [P] [US3] Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py
+
+### Implementation for User Story 3
+
+- [ ] T026 [P] [US3] Create [Entity] model in src/models/[entity].py
+- [ ] T027 [US3] Implement [Service] in src/services/[service].py
+- [ ] T028 [US3] Implement [endpoint/feature] in src/[location]/[file].py
+
+**Checkpoint**: All user stories should now be independently functional
+
+---
+
+[Add more user story phases as needed, following the same pattern]
+
+---
+
+## Phase N: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+**Purpose**: Improvements that affect multiple user stories
+
+- [ ] TXXX [P] Documentation updates in docs/
+- [ ] TXXX Code cleanup and refactoring
+- [ ] TXXX Performance optimization across all stories
+- [ ] TXXX [P] Additional unit tests (if requested) in tests/unit/
+- [ ] TXXX Security hardening
+- [ ] TXXX Run quickstart.md validation
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies - can start immediately
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup completion - BLOCKS all user stories
+- **User Stories (Phase 3+)**: All depend on Foundational phase completion
+  - User stories can then proceed in parallel (if staffed)
+  - Or sequentially in priority order (P1 → P2 → P3)
+- **Polish (Final Phase)**: Depends on all desired user stories being complete
+
+### User Story Dependencies
+
+- **User Story 1 (P1)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - No dependencies on other stories
+- **User Story 2 (P2)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1 but should be independently testable
+- **User Story 3 (P3)**: Can start after Foundational (Phase 2) - May integrate with US1/US2 but should be independently testable
+
+### Within Each User Story
+
+- Tests (if included) MUST be written and FAIL before implementation
+- Models before services
+- Services before endpoints
+- Core implementation before integration
+- Story complete before moving to next priority
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- All Setup tasks marked [P] can run in parallel
+- All Foundational tasks marked [P] can run in parallel (within Phase 2)
+- Once Foundational phase completes, all user stories can start in parallel (if team capacity allows)
+- All tests for a user story marked [P] can run in parallel
+- Models within a story marked [P] can run in parallel
+- Different user stories can be worked on in parallel by different team members
+
+---
+
+## Parallel Example: User Story 1
+
+```bash
+# Launch all tests for User Story 1 together (if tests requested):
+Task: "Contract test for [endpoint] in tests/contract/test_[name].py"
+Task: "Integration test for [user journey] in tests/integration/test_[name].py"
+
+# Launch all models for User Story 1 together:
+Task: "Create [Entity1] model in src/models/[entity1].py"
+Task: "Create [Entity2] model in src/models/[entity2].py"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
+
+1. Complete Phase 1: Setup
+2. Complete Phase 2: Foundational (CRITICAL - blocks all stories)
+3. Complete Phase 3: User Story 1
+4. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Test User Story 1 independently
+5. Deploy/demo if ready
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Complete Setup + Foundational → Foundation ready
+2. Add User Story 1 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo (MVP!)
+3. Add User Story 2 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+4. Add User Story 3 → Test independently → Deploy/Demo
+5. Each story adds value without breaking previous stories
+
+### Parallel Team Strategy
+
+With multiple developers:
+
+1. Team completes Setup + Foundational together
+2. Once Foundational is done:
+   - Developer A: User Story 1
+   - Developer B: User Story 2
+   - Developer C: User Story 3
+3. Stories complete and integrate independently
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- [P] tasks = different files, no dependencies
+- [Story] label maps task to specific user story for traceability
+- Each user story should be independently completable and testable
+- Verify tests fail before implementing
+- Commit after each task or logical group
+- Stop at any checkpoint to validate story independently
+- Avoid: vague tasks, same file conflicts, cross-story dependencies that break independence

+## One-paragraph summary
+
+SupportHub sits behind any number of existing SaaS products and never owns identity, tenancy, product access, subscriptions, or RBAC — that authority stays with the existing SaaS. When a customer reports a problem from inside a product, SupportHub creates a durable ticket immediately, then routes the problem to a **product-aware AI Support Agent** that classifies it, retrieves scoped knowledge (RAG), diagnoses a likely cause with a confidence score, and either executes approved tools or guides the customer through a controlled runbook. Resolution is only recorded after **actual verification**, not a customer's say-so. When AI can't safely or confidently resolve the problem, it escalates — with full context — into a **configuration-driven orchestration engine** that picks the right dynamic support hierarchy node, matches capability before availability, assigns an agent through a pluggable concurrency-safe strategy, and enforces SLA policies that respect business calendars and pause/resume correctly. Everything (assignment, escalation, SLA, knowledge, resolution) is audit-logged and reportable.
+
+## Core end-to-end flow
+
+```
+Customer → Product App → Support Center → SupportHub API
+    → Ticket/Case created (status: NEW)
+    → AI understands problem → classifies → retrieves knowledge
+    → Diagnosis (with confidence) → Direct solution OR guided runbook
+    → Customer action → System verification
+         ├─ Verified solved   → AI_RESOLVED → (confirm) → RESOLVED → CLOSED
+         └─ Not solved/low confidence → HUMAN_ESCALATION
+                → Orchestration Engine (capability → hierarchy → team)
+                → Assignment (strategy-based, concurrency-safe)
+                → SLA applied (business-calendar aware)
+                → Investigation → Root Cause → Solution → Verification
+                → Resolution → Customer confirmation → CLOSED
+```
+
+## Non-negotiable boundaries (repeated throughout this guide because they matter most)
+
+- **SaaS is the only source of truth** for users, tenants, products, product access, subscriptions, permissions, RBAC, and authentication. SupportHub stores only external references (`externalUserId`, `externalTenantId`, `externalProductId`).
+- **SupportHub is the only source of truth** for tickets, problems, support org structure, routing/assignment, SLA, escalation, investigation/root cause/solution/verification/resolution, knowledge, and support audit trail.
+- **AI recommends; deterministic policy decides.** The LLM never gets unrestricted backend access, never invents troubleshooting steps or product behavior, and never executes a high-risk action without a permission and policy check.
+- **Nothing is hardcoded** that the spec calls out as configurable: support hierarchy, SLA values, escalation paths, assignment strategy, routing rules. All of it is admin-configurable data, not code.
+- **Verification is evidence-based**, not customer-confirmation-based, wherever a system signal is available.
+
+## Reading order recommendation
+
+If you're briefing an engineering team from scratch, read in document order (01 → 10). If you're validating a specific subsystem, jump directly to the relevant document — each is self-contained with cross-references back to this index.

+# 01 — Product Vision & Principles
+
+## 1. What SupportHub is (and isn't)
+
+SupportHub is an **AI-First Customer Support + Ticket Management + Problem Resolution + Support Orchestration Platform**. It is not a basic helpdesk, not a generic chatbot wrapper, and not a second identity/RBAC system.
+
+It integrates with one or more existing SaaS platforms that already own:
+
+- Users, tenants/organizations
+- Products, product registration, product access
+- Subscriptions/purchases, permissions, RBAC
+- Authentication
+- User↔tenant and user↔product relationships
+
+SupportHub never rebuilds any of the above. It integrates with the SaaS through secure APIs and per-product integration credentials.
+
+## 2. Core business idea
+
+A customer using any registered SaaS product reports a problem. SupportHub attempts to resolve it with a **product-aware AI Support Agent** before any human is involved. The agent:
+
+1. Understands the customer's problem
+2. Identifies the affected product
+3. Identifies the feature/module
+4. Classifies the problem
+5. Searches relevant product knowledge
+6. Searches known issues and failure cases
+7. Diagnoses the likely cause
+8. Provides product-specific guidance
+9. Executes approved tools/actions when appropriate
+10. Asks the customer to follow instructions when required
+11. Verifies whether the problem was actually solved
+12. Marks the case AI-resolved on success
+13. Escalates to human support when it cannot safely or confidently solve it
+
+**The customer never needs to understand the internal support hierarchy** — they just report a problem and see progress toward a resolution.
+
+## 3. Reference example: DocuQube
+
+Used throughout this guide as the canonical example product.
+
+**Scenario:** Customer uploads a PDF to DocuQube. PDF upload succeeds, OCR succeeds, HTML conversion fails. Customer clicks Help/Support inside DocuQube.
+
+```
+Ticket:    DQB-2026-00567
+Product:   DocuQube
+Customer:  Tenant/User from SaaS (via external reference)
+Problem:   PDF to HTML conversion failed
+Status:    AI_ANALYZING
+```
+
+This ticket is created **immediately**, at the start of the journey — not after AI gives up. See [04 — Ticketing & Problem Management](./04-ticketing-and-problem-management.md).
+
+## 4. System ownership boundary
+
+| Owned by existing SaaS (authoritative) | Owned by SupportHub (authoritative) |
+|---|---|
+| User identity | Support sessions |
+| Tenant identity | Tickets |
+| Product identity | Problems |
+| Product access / subscription | Support teams, agents, skills/capabilities |
+| Product permissions / RBAC | Support hierarchy |
+| Authentication | Routing, assignment |
+| | SLA, escalation |
+| | Investigation, root cause, solution, verification, resolution |
+| | Support messages, attachments |
+| | Knowledge, runbooks |
+| | Support audit, support analytics |
+
+SupportHub stores `externalUserId`, `externalTenantId`, `externalProductId` as **references only** — it never becomes a second SaaS-style identity/tenant/RBAC platform.
+
+## 5. Business model
+
+| SaaS decides | SupportHub decides |
+|---|---|
+| Who owns the product | How support is delivered |
+| Which tenant has access | How problems are classified |
+| Which features are purchased | How AI handles them |
+| Which permissions exist | Which support team handles them |
+| | How tickets are assigned |
+| | How SLA is enforced |
+| | When escalation happens |
+| | How resolution is recorded |
+
+Support is **enabled by default** for any product registered in the SaaS — treated as a platform capability of the product, not an opt-in the customer must separately configure, unless/until premium support tiers are introduced as a business rule. The customer never creates a separate SupportHub account.
+
+## 6. UX principle by persona
+
+| Persona | Experience should be |
+|---|---|
+| **Customer** | Simple, guided, trustworthy, product-aware. Never sees internal hierarchy, assignment algorithms, agent workload, escalation rules, internal notes, or routing logic. |
+| **Agent** | Information-dense, fast, operational, context-rich. Continues from AI context — never restarts diagnosis from zero. |
+| **Admin** | Configurable, visual, rule-driven, auditable. |
+
+### Customer journey (happy path)
+```
+Problem → AI help → Guided solution → Verification → Resolved
+```
+
+### Customer journey (escalation path)
+```
+Problem → AI attempts → Escalation → Human Support → Resolution
+```
+
+### Critical UI rule
+The customer should **not** land on a generic "ticket system." The first thing they see is a **Support Center** with "How can we help you?" — they describe a problem, and the system absorbs all the complexity behind that single interaction.
+
+## 7. Landing page positioning (if a public SupportHub site is needed)
+
+- Positioning: *"AI-first support and intelligent resolution platform."*
+- Hero: *"Resolve customer problems before they become support tickets."*
+- Explain: product-aware AI, guided troubleshooting, human support orchestration, capability-based assignment, SLA, escalation, SaaS integration.
+- **Do not** position this as a basic helpdesk.
+
+## 8. Engineering rules (non-negotiable)
+
+**Never:**
+- Hardcode support hierarchy, SLA values, escalation paths, or assignment decisions
+- Duplicate SaaS RBAC inside SupportHub
+- Put Prisma queries in controllers, or business logic in routes
+- Allow the AI unrestricted backend access
+- Store large files in PostgreSQL
+- Use in-memory SLA timers (e.g., `setTimeout`) for production enforcement
+- Create giant global services, circular module dependencies, or deep cross-module imports
+
+**Always:**
+- Use configuration-driven logic for anything the business can change without a deploy
+- Keep module boundaries clear, exposed only via each module's public `index.ts`
+- Validate all input; audit all important operations
+- Test concurrent operations (assignment races, idempotent job handlers)
+- Preserve full AI history and full resolution history
+- Keep problem and ticket as separate, related entities
+- Verify actual resolution with evidence, not customer assertion, wherever possible
+- Keep the SaaS as the sole identity/access authority
+
+## 9. Final architectural principle
+
+```
+PROBLEM → UNDERSTAND → KNOWLEDGE → DIAGNOSE → GUIDE → VERIFY → RESOLVE
+
+If AI cannot resolve:
+PROBLEM → HUMAN SUPPORT → ORCHESTRATE → ASSIGN → SLA
+        → INVESTIGATE → ROOT CAUSE → SOLUTION → VERIFY → RESOLVE → CLOSE
+```
+
+SupportHub is: **AI-first, problem-centric, configuration-driven, product-aware, human-assisted, SLA-aware, escalation-aware, multi-product, API-integrated, enterprise-ready.**

docs/02-integration-and-security.md

@@ -0,0 +1,91 @@
+# 02 — Integration & Security
+
+## 1. Product integration model
+
+Every SaaS product that wants support must be **registered as an integration client** in SupportHub, with its own credential. Credentials are never shared globally across products.
+
+```
+Product:              DocuQube
+Product ID:           PROD_DQ_001
+Support Integration:  Enabled
+Integration Credential: PRODUCT_DQ_CREDENTIAL
+```
+
+A second product gets an entirely separate `Product ID` and credential — never reuse one credential across products.
+
+## 2. What SupportHub must validate on every inbound request
+
+- The calling product's identity
+- The integration credential presented
+- Product status (active/suspended/deprecated)
+- User/tenant context accompanying the request
+- The allowed integration scope for that credential
+
+**Never trust a raw `userId` or `productId` blindly** — every value must be validated against the registered integration and its scope before use.
+
+## 3. Inbound request contract (conceptual)
+
+```ts
+interface ProductToSupportHubRequest {
+  productId: string;
+  tenantId: string;
+  userId: string;
+  source: string;          // e.g. "docuqube-web", "docuqube-mobile"
+  problem: string;         // free-text customer description
+  feature?: string;        // e.g. "pdf_to_html"
+  referenceIds?: string[]; // e.g. documentId, jobId — product-specific evidence handles
+  context?: Record<string, unknown>;
+}
+```
+
+## 4. Service-to-service authentication
+
+Use production-appropriate mechanisms, chosen per integration risk profile:
+
+- **Signed service tokens** (short-lived, scoped to a product)
+- **OAuth2 client credentials** grant where suitable
+- **mTLS** for high-trust server-to-server channels
+- **Credential rotation** — must be supported without downtime
+- **Credential revocation** — immediate effect, audited
+- **Audit logging** of every integration authentication event (success and failure)
+
+## 5. RBAC boundary
+
+SupportHub **integrates with** the SaaS's existing RBAC — it does not reimplement it.
+
+- Support-domain authorization (who can see which ticket, which admin config, which agent queue) is SupportHub's own concern and lives entirely within SupportHub's data model (teams, agents, hierarchy scope).
+- Customer-facing authorization (does this user have access to this product at all) is always deferred to the SaaS via the validated integration context — SupportHub does not maintain a parallel "does this user own this product" table.
+- **A customer must never be able to access another customer's tickets.** Every ticket query must be scoped by the validated `externalTenantId`/`externalUserId` from the authenticated session, never by client-supplied values alone.
+
+## 6. Security requirements checklist
+
+- [ ] Secure product integration (per-product credentials, scoped)
+- [ ] Authentication context validated on every request
+- [ ] RBAC integration with SaaS (never duplicated)
+- [ ] Support-domain authorization (teams/hierarchy/product scope)
+- [ ] Customer isolation (tenant/user scoping on every query)
+- [ ] Rate limiting per integration and per user
+- [ ] Input validation (schema-first, reject unknown/extra fields)
+- [ ] Secure file handling (validation, size limits, malware scanning — see [04](./04-ticketing-and-problem-management.md#attachments))
+- [ ] Encrypted transport (TLS everywhere, mTLS where appropriate)
+- [ ] Encrypted sensitive storage at rest
+- [ ] Secret management (never in source, never in `NEXT_PUBLIC_*`)
+- [ ] Audit logging for all security-relevant actions (append-only from the application's perspective)
+
+## 7. Environment & secrets handling
+
+```
+.env.example
+.env.development.example
+.env.test.example
+.env.production.example
+```
+
+- Real environment values are **never committed**.
+- Production secrets are injected via CI/CD infrastructure (Jenkins credentials store), not checked into any env file.
+- Use environment validation at boot (fail fast if a required var is missing/malformed).
+- Only browser-safe variables use the `NEXT_PUBLIC_` prefix — secrets must never be exposed this way.
+
+## 8. AI-specific safety boundary (summary — full detail in [03](./03-ai-support-architecture.md#ai-safety-and-control))
+
+The AI must never: invent product behavior or configuration, invent troubleshooting steps, execute unauthorized actions, access arbitrary customer data, expose internal notes or private knowledge, or modify support configuration/SLA/hierarchy. Deterministic application policy is always the actual decision-maker for anything with real-world effect.

+# 03 — AI Support Architecture
+
+The AI Support Agent is the **first support layer**, not a generic chatbot. It must be product-aware, evidence-driven, and tightly bounded by deterministic policy.
+
+## 1. High-level flow
+
+```
+Customer Problem
+   → Problem Classification
+   → Knowledge Retrieval (RAG)
+   → Relevant Context
+   → AI Reasoning
+   → Next Action (direct solution / guided runbook / tool call / escalate)
+```
+
+## 2. Product knowledge system
+
+Knowledge is **retrieved, not stuffed into one giant system prompt.** Use a RAG architecture scoped per product.
+
+Conceptual structure per product:
+
+```
+Product
+├── Overview
+├── Features
+├── Troubleshooting
+├── Known Issues
+├── Error Catalog
+├── Runbooks
+├── FAQs
+├── Resolution Procedures
+└── Product Operations
+```
+
+Example knowledge entry:
+
+```
+Knowledge ID:   KB-DQ-102
+Product:        DocuQube
+Feature:        PDF → HTML
+Type:           Known Issue
+Problem:        Conversion fails for complex layouts.
+Symptoms:       Layout parser failure.
+Error:          LAYOUT_PARSE_042
+Cause:          Specific PDF layouts fail through the primary parser.
+Recommended:    Use fallback parser.
+Verification:   Retry conversion and confirm output.
+Escalation:     Escalate if fallback parser fails.
+```
+
+Knowledge must be:
+- Versioned, searchable, auditable
+- Product-scoped, and category-scoped where necessary
+- Permission-aware (never expose raw internal knowledge to customers — the AI converts retrieved knowledge into simple, product-specific guidance)
+- Maintainable by administrators, with quality metadata:
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `version` | Change tracking |
+| `status` | draft / published / unpublished |
+| `effectiveDate` | When it becomes eligible for retrieval |
+| `productScope`, `featureScope`, `categoryScope` | Retrieval filters |
+| `validationStatus` | Has this been verified to actually work? |
+| `owner`, `lastReview` | Accountability / staleness detection |
+| `source` | Where it originated (runbook author, resolved ticket, docs) |
+
+**The AI should prefer validated knowledge** over unvalidated entries when both are retrieved.
+
+## 3. Knowledge retrieval example
+
+Customer says: *"My PDF is not converting to HTML."*
+
+The system resolves:
+
+```
+Product:      DocuQube
+Feature:      PDF → HTML
+Problem type: Conversion Failure
+```
+
+Then searches: feature documentation → error catalog → known issues → troubleshooting → runbooks → previously validated solutions. Only relevant, filtered knowledge is returned to the AI's context — never a bulk dump.
+
+## 4. AI diagnosis
+
+The AI produces a **structured** diagnosis, not prose alone:
+
+```json
+{
+  "product": "docuqube",
+  "feature": "pdf_to_html",
+  "problemType": "conversion_failure",
+  "severity": "medium",
+  "confidence": 0.91,
+  "possibleCauses": ["unsupported_layout", "parser_failure", "processing_timeout"]
+}
+```
+
+### Confidence policy (configurable)
+
+| Confidence band | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| High | AI may proceed automatically |
+| Medium | AI may ask additional diagnostic questions |
+| Low | Escalate to human support |
+
+Thresholds are stored in configuration, never hardcoded, and must be tunable per product/category without a deploy.
+
+## 5. AI tool system
+
+The AI **requests** tools; the **application decides** whether execution is allowed. The LLM never gets unrestricted database/application access.
+
+Example tools (DocuQube):
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `getDocumentStatus()` | Read current processing state |
+| `getDocumentMetadata()` | Read document metadata |
+| `getProcessingStatus()` | Read pipeline stage status |
+| `getErrorDetails()` | Read structured error info |
+| `retryConversion()` | Re-trigger conversion job |
+| `retryOCR()` | Re-trigger OCR job |
+| `enableFallbackParser()` | Toggle fallback parser for this document |
+| `checkServiceStatus()` | Read upstream service health |
+| `getSupportedFileTypes()` | Read static capability info |
+| `escalateToSupport()` | Trigger human escalation |
+
+Each tool definition must include:
+
+```ts
+interface AITool {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  inputSchema: ZodSchema;
+  outputSchema: ZodSchema;
+  permission: string;         // permission required to invoke
+  riskLevel: "low" | "medium" | "high";
+  supportedProducts: string[];
+  auditRequired: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+**High-risk operations require deterministic policy checks and/or human approval** before execution — the AI's request is a proposal, not an authorization.
+
+## 6. Troubleshooting runbook engine
+
+Runbooks are **configurable step sequences**, not something the LLM improvises. The AI communicates the runbook naturally in conversation; the workflow engine controls which steps are actually permitted next.
+
+Example — `PDF_HTML_CONVERSION_FAILURE`:
+
+```
+Step 1: Check file size          → if over limit, guide customer to reduce size
+Step 2: Check file type
+Step 3: Check document structure
+Step 4: Try fallback parser
+Step 5: Verify conversion        → if still failing, escalate via configured path
+```
+
+**Do not allow the LLM to invent arbitrary troubleshooting steps.** The runbook engine is the source of the permitted sequence; the AI's job is presentation and interpretation of results, not authorship of new steps.
+
+## 7. Guided customer experience
+
+When the AI identifies a known solution, it presents:
+
+```
+Problem → Likely cause → Recommended action → Customer instruction → Verification
+```
+
+Example:
+
+> "Your document failed during layout processing." → "Enable fallback parser."
+>
+> 1. Open Conversion Settings
+> 2. Open Advanced
+> 3. Enable *Use Fallback Parser*
+> 4. Save
+> 5. Retry conversion
+
+The system then **waits** for the customer/product action rather than assuming completion.
+
+## 8. Verification (first-class, evidence-based)
+
+**Never assume** "customer says done" equals "problem resolved." Prefer actual system evidence.
+
+```
+Conversion started → processing completed → HTML generated → output validated
+   → Verification = SUCCESS → only then can AI mark "Resolved by AI"
+```
+
+Supported verification modes:
+- Product signal verification (webhook/event from the product confirming success)
+- Automated verification (poll a status endpoint via an approved tool)
+- Customer confirmation (used as a secondary/confirming signal, not primary evidence)
+- Agent verification (for human-handled cases)
+
+## 9. AI safety and control
+
+**AI must never:**
+- Invent product behavior, configuration settings, or troubleshooting steps
+- Execute unauthorized actions
+- Access arbitrary customer data
+- Expose internal notes or private knowledge
+- Modify support configuration, SLA policies, or hierarchy
+- Escalate arbitrarily without going through policy evaluation
+
+**AI can recommend. Deterministic application policies decide.** Tool execution is always permission-aware, and high-risk actions require stronger controls (policy check and/or human approval) regardless of AI confidence.
+
+## 10. Escalation trigger conditions (AI → Human)
+
+Escalate when any of the following hold:
+
+- AI cannot identify the issue
+- Confidence is below the configured threshold
+- No matching knowledge exists
+- The runbook is exhausted without success
+- A required tool execution fails
+- The problem requires human judgment/intervention
+- The problem looks like a product defect
+- It's flagged as a critical incident
+- The customer explicitly asks for a human
+- Policy requires a human for this case type
+- The AI cannot safely execute a required action
+
+When this happens, the **AI session hands off to a human support ticket with full context** — see [04](./04-ticketing-and-problem-management.md) and [05](./05-orchestration-sla-escalation.md).
+
+Example AI hand-off summary:
+
+```
+Problem:      PDF → HTML conversion failure.
+Diagnosis:    Layout parser issue.
+Steps attempted:
+  ✓ File validation
+  ✓ Processing status check
+  ✓ Fallback parser
+  ✗ Still failed
+AI confidence: 62%
+Recommendation: Investigate conversion service.

+# 04 — Ticketing & Problem Management
+
+## 1. Ticket creation timing
+
+The operational ticket/case is created **at the very start** of the support journey — not after AI fails. This preserves the complete interaction from the first moment: problem, diagnosis, knowledge used, AI messages, tool calls, failed attempts, customer actions, timestamps, evidence, and escalation history.
+
+### Example lifecycle
+
+```
+NEW → AI_ANALYZING → AI_TROUBLESHOOTING → AI_VERIFYING
+   → AI_RESOLVED
+       or
+   → HUMAN_ESCALATION
+```
+
+## 2. Problem is first-class — separate from ticket
+
+**Ticket** = the operational container tracking the interaction.
+**Problem** = the actual thing being solved, which can outlive and span multiple tickets.
+
+Problem contains:
+- Problem statement, symptoms, impact
+- Product, feature, category, problem type
+- Severity, customer impact, business impact
+- Environment, evidence, related tickets
+
+Recurring-problem support:
+
+```
+Problem → Ticket A
+       → Ticket B
+       → Ticket C
+```
+
+This lets SupportHub recognize "this is the same underlying problem occurring again" rather than treating every occurrence as unrelated.
+
+## 3. Human support flow (post-escalation)
+
+```
+Ticket → Orchestration → Capability → Support Hierarchy → Team
+       → Eligible Agents → Assignment → SLA
+       → Investigation → Root Cause → Solution → Verification
+       → Resolution → Closure
+```
+
+If an agent cannot solve the issue:
+
+```
+Current Support Node → Evaluate escalation rules → Target Support Node
+                     → Target Team → Availability → Assignment → Continue SLA
+```
+
+## 4. Investigation (structured, not free-text notes)
+
+Store:
+- Investigator, timestamp
+- Findings, evidence, internal notes, references
+- Investigation status
+
+Example:
+
+```
+Investigation: Payment service logs checked.
+Finding: Webhook was received.
+Finding: Payment processing failed.
+```
+
+## 5. Root cause — separate from investigation
+
+Investigation is *what was found*. Root cause is *why it happened*, and is its own record.
+
+```
+Problem:      PDF conversion fails.
+Investigation: Layout parser returns error.
+Root Cause:   Parser cannot handle a specific table structure.
+```
+
+Root cause types to support: technical cause, configuration cause, external dependency cause, business cause, contributing factor.
+
+## 6. Solution — proposed vs. implemented
+
+Keep these distinct fields/states, not one blob:
+- Proposed solution
+- Approved solution
+- Implemented solution
+- Implementation notes
+- Implemented by / implementation timestamp
+
+```
+Proposed:    Enable fallback parser.
+Implemented: Fallback parser enabled and conversion retried.
+```
+
+## 7. Verification — after implementation
+
+```
+Solution → Verification
+```
+
+Verification types: automated, technical test, customer confirmation, agent confirmation.
+
+If verification fails:
+
+```
+Verification → Investigation   (re-open investigation)
+   or
+Verification → Escalation      (escalate further)
+```
+
+## 8. Resolution — separate from solution
+
+**Solution** = what was done. **Resolution** = the final outcome.
+
+```
+Solution:      Fallback parser enabled.
+Verification:  HTML generated successfully.
+Resolution:    Customer document successfully converted.
+```
+
+## 9. Customer confirmation & reopen
+
+Configurable confirmation flow:
+
+```
+RESOLUTION_PENDING_CUSTOMER → Customer confirms → RESOLVED → CLOSED
+```
+or
+```
+RESOLVED → configured waiting period (auto-close) → CLOSED
+```
+
+**Reopen must be supported** — a customer or agent can reopen a closed ticket, which should re-enter the appropriate lifecycle stage (and, per [05](./05-orchestration-sla-escalation.md), repeated reopens are themselves an escalation trigger).
+
+## 10. Messages
+
+Message types:
+
+| Type | Visible to customer? |
+|---|---|
+| `CUSTOMER_MESSAGE` | Yes |
+| `AI_MESSAGE` | Yes |
+| `AGENT_MESSAGE` | Yes |
+| `INTERNAL_NOTE` | **No — never** |
+| `SYSTEM_EVENT` | Depends on event (status changes typically yes) |
+| `INVESTIGATION_NOTE` | No |
+| `SOLUTION_NOTE` | No |
+
+**Internal notes must never be shown to customers** — enforce this at the API/serialization layer, not just in the UI.
+
+## 11. Attachments
+
+Supported types: screenshots, PDFs, logs, videos, documents.
+
+**Storage:** object storage (S3-compatible in production, MinIO for local dev). **Never store large binary files in PostgreSQL** — store metadata + object storage reference only.
+
+Required capabilities:
+- File validation (type/size)
+- Size limits (configurable, per product/tenant if needed)
+- Malware scanning before the file is considered available
+- Secure download via expiring, authorization-checked URLs
+- Authorization scoped to the ticket's tenant/user context

+# 05 — Orchestration, SLA & Escalation
+
+This is the central decision-making subsystem for human support. It is entirely **configuration-driven** — no hardcoded `L1 → L2 → L3 → L4` levels anywhere.
+
+## 1. Orchestration engine
+
+Determines, for every escalated ticket: what problem is this, what capability is needed, which support path, which team, which agents, which assignment strategy, which SLA, which escalation policy.
+
+```
+Product → Problem Type → Category → Priority → Severity
+        → Required Capability → Business Rules
+        → Dynamic Support Hierarchy → Team → Eligible Agents
+        → Assignment Strategy → SLA → Escalation Policy
+```
+
+## 2. Dynamic support hierarchy
+
+Administrators configure arbitrary support nodes — different products can have completely different hierarchies, and changing one must never require a code change.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+DocuQube Support
+├── General Support
+├── Document Processing
+│   ├── OCR Specialist
+│   └── Conversion Specialist
+└── Engineering
+    ├── Backend
+    └── Infrastructure
+```
+
+A hierarchy node's fields:
+
+```ts
+interface HierarchyNode {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  parentId?: string;
+  order: number;
+  team: string;
+  skills: string[];              // capability tags this node covers
+  productScope: string[];
+  categoryScope: string[];
+  priorityScope: string[];
+  assignmentStrategy: AssignmentStrategy;
+  slaPolicyId: string;
+  escalationPolicyId: string;
+  entryConditions: RuleExpression;
+  exitConditions: RuleExpression;
+  active: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+## 3. Capability and skill matching
+
+**Capability is evaluated before availability.** Example:
+
+```
+Rahul: DocuQube, PDF, Conversion
+Aamir: Billing, Payments
+Sahil: Infrastructure, DevOps
+
+Problem: DocuQube PDF conversion failure → Eligible: Rahul
+```
+
+Only after the eligible set is computed does the system consider: active state, availability, working hours, current workload, team, hierarchy node.
+
+## 4. Assignment engine
+
+Must be **pluggable**. Supported strategies:
+
+| Strategy | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `ROUND_ROBIN` | Cycles through eligible agents only; must be concurrency-safe |
+| `LEAST_LOADED` | Picks the eligible agent with lowest current workload |
+| `SKILL_BASED` | Weighted match on skill depth, not just presence |
+| `MANUAL` | Human picks the assignee |
+| `DIRECT` | Explicit target (e.g. reassign to a named agent) |
+| `PRIORITY_BASED` | Priority ticket preempts queue position |
+
+**Round robin only operates over the eligible-agent set** (post capability-match), and **must be concurrency-safe** — two tickets arriving simultaneously must never corrupt the round-robin cursor or double-assign. Use a database-level lock/transaction or an atomic Redis operation, not an in-memory counter.
+
+**Assignment history must be recorded** for every assignment and reassignment (who, when, why, strategy used).
+
+## 5. SLA engine
+
+SLA policies are **configuration**, never a hardcoded number. Policies may depend on: product, category, problem type, priority, severity, support node, customer type, business calendar.
+
+### SLA types to support
+- First response SLA
+- Investigation SLA
+- Resolution SLA
+- Customer response SLA
+- States: warning, pause, resume, breach, completion
+
+### Business-calendar awareness
+
+Support business hours, weekends, holidays, time zones, and per-team schedules. **Do not compute enterprise SLA as `createdAt + N hours`** — that ignores calendars entirely and will silently violate real commitments.
+
+### SLA pause/resume
+
+```
+IN_PROGRESS → WAITING_FOR_CUSTOMER → SLA PAUSED
+WAITING_FOR_CUSTOMER → IN_PROGRESS → SLA RESUMES
+```
+
+SLA calculations must be **durable** — never dependent on an in-memory timer that resets on a process restart. Use durable jobs (BullMQ) with persisted due-times recomputed against the business calendar, not `setTimeout`.
+
+## 6. Escalation engine
+
+Escalation is **rule-driven**, not `if L1 then L2`.
+
+Example rule:
+
+```
+IF resolution SLA breached AND priority = critical
+THEN move to configured escalation node, notify manager, create escalation event
+```
+
+### Escalation triggers
+- First response breach
+- Resolution breach
+- Investigation breach
+- Inactivity
+- Priority increase
+- Customer escalation request
+- Repeated reopen
+- Manual escalation
+- Product defect identified
+- External dependency timeout
+- Critical incident
+
+**All escalation events must be auditable.**
+
+## 7. End-to-end human support flow
+
+```
+Ticket → Orchestration → Capability → Support Hierarchy → Team
+       → Eligible Agents → Assignment → SLA
+       → Investigation → Root Cause → Solution → Verification
+       → Resolution → Closure
+```
+
+Re-escalation when an agent can't solve it:
+
+```
+Current Support Node → Evaluate escalation rules → Target Support Node
+                     → Target Team → Availability → Assignment → Continue SLA
+```
+
+## 8. Module implication
+
+Because this subsystem contains genuine decision logic (not just CRUD), the `orchestration` module needs the extended internal structure — `engine/`, `rules/`, `strategies/`, `calculators/` — in addition to the standard controller/service/repository layers. See [07 — Backend Architecture](./07-backend-architecture.md#module-internal-structure).

+# 06 — Database Schema
+
+**Primary database:** PostgreSQL. **ORM:** Prisma. All schema below is conceptual/pseudo-Prisma — refine field types and add indexes during Phase 1 modeling (see [10 — Implementation Roadmap](./10-implementation-roadmap.md)).
+
+Cross-cutting requirements for every table below:
+- Migrations tracked in version control
+- Indexes on every foreign key and every field used in ticket/queue filtering
+- Unique constraints where the spec implies natural keys (e.g. `productId` + credential)
+- Optimistic or transactional concurrency control wherever two actors could race (assignment, SLA state, hierarchy edits)
+- `createdAt`/`updatedAt` on every table; soft-delete or status field where records must never disappear (audit, escalation events)

+## Notes on modeling decisions
+
+- **`Ticket` vs `Problem` are always separate tables** with a many-tickets-to-one-problem relationship, per [04](./04-ticketing-and-problem-management.md#2-problem-is-first-class--separate-from-ticket).
+- **`Investigation`, `RootCause`, `Solution`, `SolutionVerification`, `Resolution` are five distinct models**, not one "resolution notes" text field — this is intentional per the spec and enables reporting on each stage independently.
+- **`AuditLog` should be append-only** at the application layer: no update/delete code paths against this table, ever.
+- **SLA timing must never be computed from `SLARun.createdAt` alone** — always resolve through the linked `BusinessCalendar`/`Holiday` records at read time or via a durable recompute job.

+
+## 4. Module internal structure
+
+Standard module:
+
+```
+module/
+├── controller/
+├── routes/
+├── schema/
+├── repository/
+├── service/
+├── types/
+├── mapper/
+├── constants/
+└── index.ts
+```
+
+Complex modules (real decision logic, not just CRUD) add:
+
+```
+├── engine/
+├── rules/
+├── strategies/
+└── calculators/
+```
+
+Example — `orchestration`:
+
+```
+orchestration/
+├── controller
+├── routes
+├── schema
+├── repository
+├── service
+├── engine
+├── rules
+├── types
+├── mapper
+├── constants
+└── index.ts
+```
+
+`ai-support` and `orchestration` are the two module groups most likely to need the extended structure across nearly all their submodules — see [03](./03-ai-support-architecture.md) and [05](./05-orchestration-sla-escalation.md).
+
+## 5. Request flow
+
+```
+HTTP → Route → Schema validation → Controller → Service
+     → Engine/Rules (if required) → Repository → Prisma → PostgreSQL
+```
+
+Rules:
+- **Controller never touches Prisma directly.**
+- **Repository** is the only layer that talks to Prisma.
+- **Service** coordinates business workflows and calls repositories/engines.
+- **Engine** implements complex decision logic (assignment strategy selection, SLA calculation, escalation rule evaluation, AI tool-execution policy).
+
+## 6. Module boundaries
+
+Modules must not reach into another module's internals. Only import through the target module's public `index.ts`.
+
+```ts
+// Allowed
+import { TicketService } from "@/modules/ticketing/tickets";
+
+// Not allowed — reaches past the module boundary
+import { TicketRepository } from "@/modules/ticketing/tickets/repository/ticket.repository";
+```
+
+## 7. Redis / BullMQ usage
+
+Redis is **not** a source of truth — it's for queues, caching, and coordination. Use BullMQ jobs for:
+
+- SLA monitoring (warning, breach detection)
+- Escalation triggering
+- Notifications
+- AI background work where appropriate (long-running tool calls, batch re-diagnosis)
+- Analytics rollups
+- Attachment processing (malware scan, thumbnailing)
+- Cleanup jobs
+
+**Jobs must be durable and idempotent.** Never use `setTimeout` or any in-memory timer for production SLA enforcement — a process restart must not lose or double-fire SLA state transitions.
+
+## 8. Domain events
+
+Emit and consume these as first-class domain events (not just side effects buried in service code), so audit, notifications, analytics, and SLA/escalation subsystems can all react independently:
+
+```
+TicketCreated, ProblemCreated, TicketClassified
+AIAnalysisStarted, KnowledgeRetrieved, AIDiagnosisCompleted
+AIActionRequested, AIActionCompleted, AITroubleshootingStarted
+AIResolutionVerified, TicketEscalatedToHuman
+TicketAssigned, TicketReassigned, PriorityChanged
+SLANearingBreach, SLABreached
+InvestigationStarted, RootCauseIdentified
+SolutionProposed, SolutionImplemented, VerificationCompleted
+TicketResolved, TicketClosed, TicketReopened
+```
+
+Events must be traceable (correlation ID) and auditable.
+
+## 9. Notifications
+
+Channels: in-app, email, push (where appropriate). Triggered asynchronously (via job queue, never inline in the request path) on: ticket created, AI solved, human escalation, assignment, agent reply, SLA warning, SLA breach, escalation, resolution, closure, reopen.
+
+## 10. Audit
+
+Audit every important action: ticket creation, AI escalation, assignment/reassignment, priority changes, hierarchy changes, SLA changes, escalation, investigation, root cause, solution, verification, resolution, closure.
+
+Audit record shape:
+
+```ts
+interface AuditRecord {
+  actor: string;
+  actorType: "customer" | "agent" | "admin" | "system" | "ai";
+  action: string;
+  entity: string;
+  entityId: string;
+  oldValue?: unknown;
+  newValue?: unknown;
+  timestamp: Date;
+  reason?: string;
+  metadata?: Record<string, unknown>;
+}
+```
+
+Security-relevant audit records should be **append-only** from the application's perspective — no service-layer update/delete path against `AuditLog`.
+
+## 11. Observability endpoints
+
+```
+GET /health
+GET /health/live
+GET /health/ready
+GET /metrics
+```
+
+Structured logging via Pino, with request ID and correlation ID on every log line; metrics and tracing wired through from day one, not bolted on later. Full metric list is in [09](./09-testing-observability-cicd.md#observability).

+
+**Do not create giant global business components** — logic and UI for a feature live inside that feature's folder.
+
+## 3. Customer frontend
+
+Lives inside the SaaS/product context — the customer never leaves their product to get support.
+
+**Support Center** is the main surface, with areas:
+- AI Support
+- My Cases / Tickets
+- Support History
+- Optional resources
+
+Primary journey:
+
+```
+Problem → AI analysis → Knowledge found → Guided steps → Customer action
+       → Verification → Resolved
+                      (if unresolved) → Human Support
+```
+
+### Support Center home
+
+Communicates: *"How can we help you?"* The customer can describe a problem, start AI support, view existing cases, or see an active case. A case/ticket card shows: case ID, problem, product, current stage, progress, AI status, and human-support status when applicable.
+
+### AI Support UI — not a ChatGPT clone
+
+The interface must visibly communicate each stage, using clear cards/progress indicators, not just a scrolling chat log:
+
+1. Problem understanding
+2. Product analysis
+3. Knowledge search
+4. Diagnosis
+5. Recommended solution
+6. Guided steps
+7. Customer action
+8. Verification
+9. Resolve or escalate
+
+Example card content:
+
+```
+AI analyzed:        PDF conversion failure
+Problem detected:   LAYOUT_PARSE_042
+Likely cause:       Layout parser failure
+Recommended:        Enable fallback parser
+
+Guided steps:
+1. Open Conversion Settings
+2. Open Advanced
+3. Enable fallback parser
+4. Retry conversion
+5. Verify output
+
+[ I completed this step ]  [ I need help ]  [ Problem solved ]  [ Not solved ]
+```
+
+### What the customer never sees
+
+Internal support hierarchy, internal assignment algorithms, agent workload, internal escalation rules, internal notes, internal routing logic.
+
+## 4. Support agent frontend (internal)
+
+A distinct experience from the customer app. Main areas:
+
+- Dashboard
+- My Queue
+- All Tickets
+- Problems
+- SLA Monitoring
+- Escalations
+- Knowledge
+- Reports
+
+**Agent ticket workspace** shows: customer, tenant, product, problem, AI summary, diagnosis, troubleshooting history, conversation, investigation, root cause, solution, verification, resolution, SLA, assignment, escalation history.
+
+**Critical UX requirement:** the agent continues from the AI's context — they never restart diagnosis from zero. The AI hand-off summary (see [03](./03-ai-support-architecture.md#10-escalation-trigger-conditions-ai--human)) should be the first thing the agent reads.
+
+## 5. Admin frontend
+
+Configuration surface. Areas: Products, Categories, Problem Types, Priorities, Support Hierarchy, Teams, Agents, Skills, Routing Rules, Assignment Rules, SLA Policies, Escalation Policies, Knowledge, Runbooks, Reports, Audit, Settings.
+
+**None of these configuration values may be hardcoded** in frontend or backend source — the admin UI is how the business actually changes behavior.
+
+## 6. Real-time updates
+
+Use WebSocket or SSE so the customer/agent sees updates without refreshing:
+
+- AI analyzing
+- AI found knowledge
+- AI generated solution
+- AI waiting for customer
+- Ticket assigned
+- Agent replied
+- SLA warning / SLA breached
+- Escalation
+- Ticket resolved
+
+## 7. UX principle recap by persona
+
+| Persona | Principle |
+|---|---|
+| Customer | Simple, guided, trustworthy, product-aware |
+| Agent | Information-dense, fast, operational, context-rich |
+| Admin | Configurable, visual, rule-driven, auditable |

+# 09 — Testing, Observability & CI/CD
+
+## 1. Testing strategy
+
+### Backend
+- Unit tests
+- Integration tests
+- E2E tests
+- Concurrency tests (assignment race conditions — two tickets assigned simultaneously must never corrupt round-robin state or double-assign)
+- SLA tests (pause/resume correctness, business-calendar math, durability across a simulated process restart)
+- Escalation idempotency tests (a rule firing twice must not create duplicate escalation events)
+- Orchestration tests (capability matching, hierarchy traversal, strategy selection)
+- AI tool permission tests (the AI must never be able to invoke a tool it isn't scoped for; high-risk tools must require policy/approval regardless of AI confidence)
+
+### Frontend
+- Unit tests
+- Integration tests
+- Playwright E2E, covering:
+  - AI support flow
+  - Customer escalation flow
+  - Agent flow
+  - Admin configuration flow
+
+### Critical end-to-end scenarios (must both exist as automated tests)
+
+**Scenario A — AI resolves directly:**
+```
+Customer → Product → Support → Problem → AI → Knowledge
+        → Guided troubleshooting → Verification → AI resolved
+```
+
+**Scenario B — AI escalates to human:**
+```
+Customer → Problem → AI → troubleshooting failed → human escalation
+        → orchestration → assignment → SLA → investigation → solution
+        → verification → resolution → closure
+```
+
+## 2. Observability
+
+### Logging
+Pino structured logging across the backend, with a request ID and correlation ID attached to every log line so a single ticket's full journey (AI session → tool calls → escalation → assignment → SLA events) can be traced end to end.
+
+### Metrics & tracing
+Wire metrics and tracing in from the start, not retrofitted. Expose:
+
+```
+GET /health
+GET /health/live
+GET /health/ready
+GET /metrics
+```
+
+### Key metrics to track
+
+- AI resolution rate
+- AI escalation rate
+- Human resolution rate
+- Average resolution time
+- First response time
+- SLA compliance
+- Escalation rate
+- Recurring problems
+- Most common errors
+- Knowledge effectiveness
+- Tool failure rate
+
+### Reporting dashboards
+
+| Dashboard | Contents |
+|---|---|
+| **Management** | Total cases, AI resolved, human escalated, resolved, open, SLA compliance, SLA breaches, escalation count, average response, average resolution |
+| **Product** | Support volume by product, problem types, recurring problems, AI resolution rate, human escalation rate, top errors |
+| **Support** | Workload, agent assignments, SLA risk, escalations, response performance, resolution performance |
+| **AI** | AI resolution rate, failed troubleshooting, knowledge match rate, confidence distribution, tool success/failure, human handoff rate |
+
+## 3. CI/CD (Jenkins)
+
+Repository includes a `Jenkinsfile` implementing:
+
+```
+Checkout
+→ Install
+→ Environment validation
+→ Typecheck
+→ Lint
+→ Format check
+→ Unit test
+→ Integration test
+→ E2E test
+→ Build
+→ Docker build
+→ Publish
+→ Deploy
+```
+
+Production deployments use **protected Jenkins credentials/environment variables** — real secrets are never committed to the repository (see [02](./02-integration-and-security.md#7-environment--secrets-handling)).

+# 10 — Implementation Roadmap
+
+Implement incrementally. **Do not implement all business logic in one step.** Each phase below must be typed, tested, documented, integrated, observable, and production-safe before moving on — a feature isn't "done" until it clears all seven of those, not just "coded."
+
+## Phased plan
+
+| Phase | Focus | Primary deliverables |
+|---|---|---|
+| **1** | Engineering foundation | Repo scaffolding, Fastify modular-monolith skeleton, Next.js app skeleton, Prisma schema baseline, CI pipeline skeleton, env validation, health endpoints |
+| **2** | SaaS integration | Product/ProductIntegration models, credential validation, service-to-service auth (signed tokens/OAuth2/mTLS), inbound request contract, rate limiting |
+| **3** | Product knowledge | Knowledge/KnownIssue/ErrorCode/Runbook models, admin CRUD, versioning + publish state, retrieval (RAG) layer |
+| **4** | AI support | AI session/diagnosis/interaction models, classification, RAG-backed reasoning, confidence thresholds (configurable), tool system with permission/risk gating, runbook engine, verification logic |
+| **5** | Ticketing | Ticket + Problem models (kept separate), message types, attachment pipeline (object storage, scanning, expiring URLs), ticket lifecycle state machine |
+| **6** | Support organization | Team/Agent/AgentSkill/AgentAvailability models, dynamic HierarchyNode configuration, admin hierarchy editor |
+| **7** | Orchestration and assignment | Orchestration engine, capability matching, pluggable assignment strategies, concurrency-safe round robin, assignment history |
+| **8** | SLA and escalation | SLA policy engine, business calendar/holiday support, durable pause/resume via BullMQ, rule-driven escalation engine, escalation event audit |
+| **9** | Problem resolution | Investigation/RootCause/Solution/SolutionImplementation/SolutionVerification/Resolution models and workflows, customer confirmation + reopen flow |
+| **10** | Agent/Admin UI | Agent workspace (continues from AI context), admin configuration surfaces for every configurable subsystem above |
+| **11** | Analytics, hardening, security, production deployment | Reporting dashboards, full observability, security hardening pass, load/concurrency testing, production deployment pipeline |
+
+> Note the dependency direction: Phase 4 (AI) and Phase 9 (resolution stages) both plug into Phase 5's ticket, so ticketing's core data model should be stable before AI or resolution logic is built against it — even though ticketing is listed after AI support here, expect to iterate the `Ticket`/`Problem` shape lightly across phases 4–9 rather than treating phase 5 as strictly sequential.
+
+## Success criteria checklist
+
+Use this as the actual go/no-go list, not phase names — a phase can be "complete" on paper while missing several of these.
+
+- [ ] A SaaS product can securely integrate with SupportHub
+- [ ] The SaaS user can enter support from within the product
+- [ ] SupportHub receives trusted product/tenant/user context
+- [ ] A problem creates a durable support case immediately
+- [ ] AI understands the problem
+- [ ] AI retrieves correct product knowledge
+- [ ] AI can diagnose known issues
+- [ ] AI can guide the customer through supported troubleshooting
+- [ ] The system verifies successful resolution with evidence
+- [ ] AI can resolve supported issues automatically
+- [ ] Unresolved issues are escalated automatically
+- [ ] AI context is preserved in the ticket for the human agent
+- [ ] Orchestration chooses the correct support path
+- [ ] Capability/skill matching works correctly
+- [ ] Assignment respects availability/workload
+- [ ] SLA is applied correctly (calendar-aware, durable)
+- [ ] Escalation occurs according to configured policy
+- [ ] Human agents receive full context, don't restart diagnosis
+- [ ] Agents can investigate and resolve the problem
+- [ ] Resolution is verified and recorded
+- [ ] Customer sees the final result
+- [ ] Complete audit history exists
+- [ ] All critical operations are observable
+- [ ] CI/CD can validate and deploy the system safely
+
+## Open business decisions (do not invent final values)
+
+Anything the business hasn't finalized yet must be explicitly marked in code, config schema, and documentation as one of:
+
+```
+CONFIGURABLE
+OPEN BUSINESS DECISION
+REQUIRES BUSINESS CONFIRMATION
+```
+
+Known candidates for this list at spec time:
+- Actual SLA minute values per product/priority/category
+- Actual escalation rule conditions and target nodes per product
+- Whether/when premium support tiers override "support enabled by default"
+- Confidence-threshold cut points for high/medium/low AI bands, per product
+- Assignment strategy choice per hierarchy node
+- Business calendar definitions (hours, holidays, timezones) per team
+
+Never hardcode a placeholder value for any of the above and ship it as if it were final — mark it and surface it for confirmation instead.

+# 11 — Architect's Additions: Gaps & Recommendations
+
+Everything in files 00–10 is a direct organization of the original specification. **Everything below is added by me** — things a production enterprise support platform needs that the original spec didn't call out, or only mentioned in passing. I've grouped them by how costly they are to bolt on later.
+
+---
+
+## A. Critical — expensive to retrofit, cheap to design in now
+
+### A1. Idempotency on ticket creation
+The spec defines the inbound product→SupportHub request but never addresses **retries**. If DocuQube's client times out waiting for a response and retries the same "PDF conversion failed" report, you'll get duplicate tickets for one problem unless the caller sends an idempotency key.
+
+- Add `idempotencyKey` (client-generated, e.g. hash of `productId + referenceIds + timestamp-bucket`) to the inbound contract in [02](./02-integration-and-security.md).
+- Store it on `Ticket` with a unique constraint scoped to `productId`; a repeat request within a configurable window returns the existing ticket instead of creating a new one.
+
+### A2. Bi-directional integration (SupportHub → product callbacks)
+The spec only defines product → SupportHub. But the product's own UI (e.g., DocuQube's "Help & Support" widget) needs to know the ticket's status without polling. Add:
+
+- A registered **webhook URL per `ProductIntegration`**, signed the same way inbound requests are (HMAC or mTLS), firing on key events: `ticket.status_changed`, `ticket.resolved`, `ticket.escalated`.
+- Delivery must be async (via BullMQ), retried with backoff, and logged — a failed webhook delivery should never block or roll back the underlying ticket state change.
+
+### A3. Multi-tenant data isolation enforced at the data layer, not just the app layer
+Section 52 says "a customer must never access another customer's tickets," but the spec only implies application-level scoping. For an enterprise platform, add:
+
+- **Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS)** policies on `Ticket`, `TicketMessage`, `TicketAttachment` keyed on `externalTenantId`, so a bug in one service-layer query can't leak cross-tenant data. Application-level scoping remains the primary control; RLS is the belt-and-suspenders layer.
+
+### A4. AI prompt-injection defense
+The spec covers AI tool permissioning and hallucination control (section 58) but not **adversarial customer input**. A customer's problem description, or content inside an uploaded attachment (e.g., a PDF with embedded text), is untrusted input that reaches the LLM. Add explicit handling:
+
+- Treat retrieved knowledge, customer messages, and any attachment-derived text as **data, not instructions** — the system prompt must state this and the orchestration layer should never let content from these sources alter tool permissions or escalation policy.
+- Tool-invocation requests coming out of the model are validated against the deterministic policy layer regardless of what the model claims justifies them (already implied by section 58/11, but worth stating as an explicit adversarial-input test case in [09](./09-testing-observability-cicd.md)).
+
+### A5. Optimistic concurrency on mutable shared state
+`Ticket.status`, `SLARun.status`, and `AgentAvailability.currentLoad` are all written by multiple actors (customer actions, AI, agents, background jobs) concurrently. Add a `version` column (optimistic locking) to these three tables specifically, on top of the general concurrency guidance already in [06](./06-database-schema.md) — a plain "last write wins" update is not sufficient for SLA/assignment correctness under load.
+
+---
+
+## B. Important — real gaps, moderate cost to retrofit
+
+### B1. RAG implementation specifics
+The spec says "use a RAG architecture" and "vector database as appropriate" but leaves the actual retrieval design open. Decide and document:
+- Embedding model + chunking strategy per knowledge entry type (a `KnowledgeEntry` with distinct `problem/symptoms/cause/solution` fields probably wants field-aware chunking, not one blob embedding).
+- Retrieval filters must apply **before** the vector search (product scope, status=published, validationStatus) — never filter after, or you'll retrieve fewer results than the limit implies.
+- Re-ranking step before knowledge reaches the LLM context, prioritizing `validationStatus: validated` and recency.
+
+### B2. AI cost and token governance
+Nothing in the spec addresses LLM cost/latency control at scale. Add:
+- Per-session token budget and a hard step-count cap on the reasoning loop (diagnosis → tool call → re-diagnosis) to prevent runaway sessions.
+- Model routing/fallback (e.g., a smaller/faster model for classification, a stronger one for diagnosis) as a configurable policy, not a hardcoded model name.
+- Track cost per ticket as a reportable metric alongside the AI dashboard metrics in [09](./09-testing-observability-cicd.md).
+
+### B3. Knowledge effectiveness feedback loop
+The spec has a "knowledge effectiveness" metric (section 60) but no mechanism to actually compute it. Add:
+- Link `AIKnowledgeReference` → ticket outcome (`AI_RESOLVED` vs `HUMAN_ESCALATION`) so each knowledge entry accumulates a resolution-contribution rate.
+- Surface low-performing knowledge entries to admins for review — this closes the loop the spec's admin knowledge management (section 59) otherwise leaves open-ended.
+
+### B4. Customer satisfaction (CSAT) capture
+Not in the original spec at all. Add a lightweight, optional post-resolution prompt ("Was this helpful?") captured against the ticket, reportable per product/agent/AI — this is standard for any support platform and materially informs whether "AI resolved" actually meant the customer was satisfied, not just that verification evidence existed.
+
+### B5. Data retention, deletion, and PII handling
+Section 52 covers security but not data lifecycle. For an enterprise platform touching customer data across many tenants, define explicitly (as an `OPEN BUSINESS DECISION` per [10](./10-implementation-roadmap.md)):
+- Retention period for tickets/messages/attachments/AI session transcripts.
+- A deletion path when the SaaS reports a user/tenant deletion (SupportHub must purge or anonymize its `externalUserId`-linked records — it can't wait indefinitely holding data the SaaS no longer has consent for).
+- Whether attachments or AI transcripts may contain PII that needs redaction before being used as RAG training/eval data.
+
+### B6. API versioning and error contract
+The spec mentions OpenAPI but not a versioning scheme or a standard error shape. Add:
+- URL or header-based versioning (`/v1/...`) from day one — retrofitting this after external product integrations exist is painful.
+- A single error envelope (`{ error: { code, message, requestId, details? } }`) used by every endpoint, so integrating products write one error handler, not one per endpoint.
+
+### B7. Localization / multi-language customer input
+Customers may report problems in a language other than the knowledge base's authoring language. Not addressed anywhere in the spec. At minimum, decide: does the AI reason and search knowledge in English regardless of input language and translate the response back, or is knowledge itself multi-language? This affects the RAG design in B1 and should be an explicit early decision, not discovered mid-build.
+
+---
+
+## C. Worth deciding early, lower urgency
+
+- **Feature flags** for gradual AI capability rollout per product (e.g., enable tool execution for DocuQube before enabling it for a newer, less-tested product).
+- **Full-text/ticket search** for agents (section 38's "All Tickets" view will need this quickly) — Postgres full-text search is likely sufficient before reaching for a separate search engine.
+- **Bulk admin operations** (bulk reassign on agent offboarding, bulk close on stale tickets) — not mentioned, but every real deployment needs it within the first quarter.
+- **Disaster recovery / backup cadence and RPO/RTO targets** — absent from the spec's otherwise thorough operations coverage.
+- **Incident-management integration** (e.g., paging on `SLABreached` for critical severity) — the spec defines the breach event but not what happens operationally when one fires outside business hours.
+- **Sandbox integration environment** — a product team integrating with SupportHub needs a way to test the full inbound/outbound contract without touching production tenants; worth a dedicated `environment: sandbox` flag on `ProductIntegration`.
+
+---
+
+## What I did *not* add
+
+I deliberately didn't invent: specific SLA minute values, specific confidence thresholds, specific retention periods, or specific vector database/embedding model choices — those are exactly the kind of "final business/technical policy values" the original spec (and [10](./10-implementation-roadmap.md)) says must come from the business/team, not be guessed. Where I raised something above that implies a concrete choice, treat it as `REQUIRES BUSINESS CONFIRMATION` or `OPEN BUSINESS DECISION`, consistent with the rest of this guide.

+# Specification Quality Checklist: Continuous Integration Pipeline
+
+**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
+**Created**: 2026-08-21
+**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)
+
+## Content Quality
+
+- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
+- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+- [x] All mandatory sections completed
+
+## Requirement Completeness
+
+- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+- [x] Success criteria are measurable
+- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
+- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+- [x] Edge cases are identified
+- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
+- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified
+
+## Feature Readiness
+
+- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
+- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
+- [x] No implementation details leak into specification
+
+## Notes
+
+- Deferred, out of scope for this feature: flaky-test retry/quarantine policy (see Edge Cases).
+- Tool choice (e.g. which CI system) is deliberately left out of this spec — the constitution's
+  Technology & Platform Constraints section already commits to Jenkins per docs/09; that mapping
+  belongs in `/speckit-plan`, not here.
+- All items pass; no revision iterations were needed.
+
+## Implementation notes (added during /speckit-implement)
+
+- `docker-compose.test.yml` had fixed `container_name` values (`support-test`,
+  `postgres-test`, `redis-test`) on all three services — this would have made FR-009/SC-005
+  (concurrent-run isolation) impossible, since Docker container names must be unique per host
+  regardless of Compose project. Removed them so Compose auto-names containers per project
+  (verified locally: two `up` runs under different `-p` project names now produce
+  `<project>-postgres-1` / `<project>-redis-1` etc. with no collision).
+- `docker compose ... down` needs the same `--env-file` flag as `up`, or it can fail to resolve
+  service config and leave containers running — confirmed by hitting this locally; the
+  `Jenkinsfile`'s `post { always { ... } }` teardown includes it.
+- The existing `test:unit` npm script (`vitest run` with no path filter) currently runs the
+  entire `tests/**/*.test.ts` glob — including integration/E2E — because `vitest.config.ts`'s
+  `include` isn't scoped per script; only `test:integration`/`test:e2e` narrow by passing an
+  explicit directory. Today's "integration" tests are instantiation-only checks (no real DB/Redis
+  calls yet), so this isn't currently harmful, but it means the `Unit test` stage doesn't
+  actually isolate unit-only coverage. Out of scope to fix here (not part of this feature's
+  requirements) — worth a follow-up once real integration tests exist.

+# Contract: Jenkins Pipeline Stage Sequence
+
+The pipeline is the interface between "an engineer proposes a change" and "a validated,
+deployable artifact exists." This document is the contract other tooling (and future features)
+can rely on.
+
+## Stage order (fixed — matches Constitution → Testing, Observability & CI/CD Gates)
+
+```
+Checkout
+→ Install
+→ Environment validation
+→ Typecheck
+→ Lint            (includes scripts/check-architecture.ts — see research.md)
+→ Format check
+→ Unit test
+→ Integration test   (requires postgres/redis via docker-compose.test.yml)
+→ E2E test            (requires postgres/redis via docker-compose.test.yml)
+→ Build
+→ Docker build
+→ Publish             (skipped on validate-only runs — see below)
+→ Deploy              (skipped on validate-only runs — see below)
+```
+
+## Guarantees (callable contract)
+
+1. **Ordering is fixed.** A stage never runs before a stage that precedes it in the list above.
+2. **First failure halts.** If any stage from `Checkout` through `Docker build` fails, no
+   subsequent stage runs; the Pipeline Run's overall status is `fail`, and `Publish`/`Deploy`
+   never execute against a broken build (FR-003, FR-005).
+3. **Validate-only runs stop after `Docker build`.** Any change that isn't targeting a branch with
+   a configured Deploy Target runs every validation and build stage, but `Publish`/`Deploy` are
+   skipped, not failed (spec.md Edge Cases).
+4. **Environment validation fails fast and specifically.** A missing/malformed required
+   environment variable is reported by name before any test stage runs (FR-002) — it reuses
+   `src/config/env.ts`'s existing Zod error, it does not invent a new error format.
+5. **Failure output is self-contained.** The reported failure for any stage includes which stage
+   failed and its output, sufficient for an engineer to diagnose without reproducing locally
+   (FR-004, SC-002).
+6. **No secret ever comes from a repo-committed file.** Every credential used in `Environment
+   validation`, `Integration test`, `E2E test`, `Publish`, or `Deploy` is injected from the CI
+   system's credential store at run time (FR-008, SC-004).
+7. **Runs are isolated.** Two Pipeline Runs executing concurrently never share a workspace, a
+   Docker Compose project name, or build artifacts (FR-009, SC-005).
+8. **Run history is queryable without server access.** Every past Pipeline Run's overall status
+   and per-stage results remain visible through the CI system's own UI/API (FR-010).
+
+## Non-goals (explicitly out of contract)
+
+- Flaky-test retry/quarantine behavior (deferred — spec.md Edge Cases).
+- Any deploy mechanism beyond `docker compose -f docker-compose.<target>.yml up -d` (no
+  Kubernetes/Helm contract exists yet).
+- The `supporthub-web` frontend pipeline (separate scope).

+# Phase 1 Data Model: Continuous Integration Pipeline
+
+This feature has no application/Prisma data model — it introduces no new database entities. The
+"entities" below (from spec.md's Key Entities) are Jenkins-native concepts, recorded here only
+so the contract between them is explicit; none require new persistence code.
+
+## Pipeline Run
+
+Represents one execution of the full validate → build → publish → deploy sequence for a single
+proposed change.
+
+| Field | Meaning | Source of truth |
+|---|---|---|
+| id / build number | Unique identifier for the run | Jenkins build number |
+| trigger ref | Commit SHA / PR reference that triggered the run | Jenkins SCM checkout metadata |
+| stage results | Ordered list of Stage Result (see below) | Jenkins declarative pipeline `stages` block |
+| overall status | pass / fail | Jenkins build result |
+| deploy target | Which environment (if any) this run published/deployed to | Jenkins pipeline parameter, derived from branch (main → prod pipeline job; other branches → validate-only, no deploy) |
+
+**Lifecycle**: created on trigger → stages execute in order → stops at first failing stage (FR-003)
+→ terminal state (pass/fail) is immutable once set.
+
+## Stage Result
+
+The outcome of one stage (checkout, install, env validation, typecheck, lint, format check, unit
+test, integration test, E2E test, build, Docker build, publish, deploy) within a Pipeline Run.
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| stage name | One of the fixed stage names in Constitution → Testing, Observability & CI/CD Gates |
+| status | pass / fail / skipped (later stages are "skipped" once an earlier stage fails, per FR-003/FR-005) |
+| output | Captured log output for that stage, surfaced to the engineer (FR-004) |
+| duration | Stage execution time |
+
+**Relationship**: many Stage Results belong to one Pipeline Run, ordered.
+
+## Deploy Target
+
+An environment a validated build can be published/deployed to.
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| name | `test` \| `staging` \| `production` (matches existing `.env.test`/`.env.development`/`.env.prod` + `docker-compose.*.yml` split) |
+| credentials | Reference into Jenkins credentials store (never repo-committed — see research.md) |
+| compose file | The corresponding `docker-compose.<target>.yml` |
+
+**Relationship**: a Pipeline Run targets at most one Deploy Target for its publish/deploy stages;
+validate-only runs (e.g. feature-branch builds) have no Deploy Target (Edge Cases in spec.md).

+# Implementation Plan: Continuous Integration Pipeline
+
+**Branch**: `001-ci-pipeline` | **Date**: 2026-08-21 | **Spec**: [spec.md](./spec.md)
+
+**Input**: Feature specification from `specs/001-ci-pipeline/spec.md`
+
+## Summary
+
+Add an automated CI/CD pipeline (Jenkins, per the constitution's Technology & Platform
+Constraints and `docs/09-testing-observability-cicd.md` §3) that runs on every proposed change:
+checkout → install → environment validation → typecheck → lint → format check → unit test →
+integration test → E2E test → build → Docker build → publish → deploy. It wires together
+quality gates and npm scripts that already exist in the repo — it does not introduce new checks,
+only automates and sequences the ones already defined in `package.json`.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: Groovy (Jenkins declarative pipeline) driving Node.js 20 (per `engines` in
+`package.json`) / TypeScript 5.4 build steps.
+
+**Primary Dependencies**: Jenkins (declarative pipeline, `Jenkinsfile` at repo root), Docker /
+Docker Compose (already present as `docker-compose.development.yml`, `docker-compose.test.yml`,
+`docker-compose.prod.yml`), the existing npm scripts (`typecheck`, `lint`, `format:check`,
+`test:unit`, `test:integration`, `test:e2e`, `build`), Prisma CLI (`prisma:generate`,
+`prisma:deploy`) for schema/client generation before build.
+
+**Storage**: N/A for the pipeline itself — it depends on ephemeral PostgreSQL/Redis instances
+(brought up via `docker-compose.test.yml`) to run integration/E2E tests against.
+
+**Testing**: Vitest (`test:unit`, `test:integration`, `test:e2e`) — already configured; the
+pipeline invokes these, it does not define new test tooling.
+
+**Target Platform**: Linux CI agent (Jenkins), producing a Linux container image; deploy targets
+are the `development`, `test`, and `prod` environments already defined via
+`docker-compose.*.yml` + `.env.*` files.
+
+**Project Type**: Backend service (single Fastify modular monolith) — this feature only adds
+CI/CD tooling around the existing `supporthub-api` project; no new application code paths.
+
+**Performance Goals**: N/A (process/tooling feature, not a runtime performance concern). Informal
+target: full validate→build pipeline completes in a time that keeps PR feedback fast (not
+formally measured by this feature).
+
+**Constraints**: MUST NOT read production secrets from the repository (constitution Principle
+governance + FR-008); MUST fail fast on missing/invalid environment configuration before running
+expensive test stages; MUST isolate concurrent runs (FR-009) — Jenkins agent workspace-per-build
+satisfies this natively.
+
+**Scale/Scope**: One `Jenkinsfile` at repo root for `supporthub-api`. Out of scope: the sibling
+`supporthub-web` frontend pipeline (separate repo/feature if/when needed), flaky-test
+retry/quarantine policy (explicitly deferred in spec.md Edge Cases).
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+| Principle / Section | Check | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| III. Layered Architecture With Enforced Module Boundaries | This feature adds no application code — no controllers/services/repositories touched. | PASS — N/A |
+| VI. Durable Audit & History | Not directly applicable to CI itself; pipeline run history is retained by Jenkins (build history), satisfying FR-010's "visible without server/log access" via the Jenkins UI. | PASS |
+| VII. Concurrency-Safe, Durable Job Handling | Not applicable — no SLA timers or job handlers introduced. | PASS — N/A |
+| Technology & Platform Constraints | Constitution names Jenkins explicitly for CI/CD; this plan uses Jenkins declarative pipeline, not an alternative CI tool. | PASS |
+| Testing, Observability & CI/CD Gates | Constitution requires exactly this stage order: checkout → install → env validation → typecheck → lint → format check → unit → integration → E2E → build → Docker build → publish → deploy. Plan matches verbatim. | PASS |
+| Governance ("secrets never committed") | Plan requires Jenkins-managed credentials store for all env/prod secrets. Verified in Phase 0 (research.md): `.env.*` files were found committed with real dev credentials, fixed out-of-band (commit `2093898` — untracked, `.env.example` added); pipeline generates `.env.<target>` from Jenkins credentials at runtime, never reads the repo copy. | PASS (post-design) |
+
+No violations requiring Complexity Tracking justification.
+
+## Post-Design Constitution Re-check
+
+All gates above remain PASS after Phase 1 design (data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md). No
+new violations introduced — this feature adds zero application code, only pipeline
+configuration, so Principles I, II, IV, V, VIII (identity boundary, config-over-hardcode, AI
+policy, evidence-based verification, ticket/problem separation) are not applicable and were
+correctly excluded from the gate table above.

+# Quickstart: Validating the CI Pipeline
+
+Prerequisites: a Jenkins instance with the `Jenkinsfile` (to be added at repo root by the
+implementation) registered as a Multibranch Pipeline job pointed at this repository, with
+credentials configured for `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`, `REDIS_PASSWORD`, `JWT_SECRET`, AWS keys, and a
+container registry, per `research.md`'s secrets-handling decision.
+
+## Scenario 1 — a bad change is caught and blocked (User Story 1)
+
+1. On a feature branch, introduce a deliberate failure, e.g. add a lint violation to any file
+   under `src/`.
+2. Push the branch / open a PR.
+3. **Expected**: the pipeline job triggers automatically (FR-001), runs
+   `Checkout → Install → Environment validation → Typecheck` (pass) `→ Lint` (fail), then stops —
+   no `Unit test`/`Build`/`Publish`/`Deploy` stage runs (FR-003, FR-005).
+4. **Expected**: the Jenkins build result shows the `Lint` stage as failed, with the ESLint output
+   visible directly in the stage log — no local reproduction needed to see why it failed
+   (FR-004, SC-002).
+5. Revert the violation, push again. **Expected**: all stages through `Docker build` pass.
+
+## Scenario 2 — environment misconfiguration fails fast (Edge Case)
+
+1. Temporarily remove/rename a required variable from the credentials injected for a test run
+   (e.g. `DATABASE_URL`).
+2. Trigger a run.
+3. **Expected**: the `Environment validation` stage fails immediately, before `Typecheck`/`Unit
+   test`, with the same descriptive error `src/config/env.ts`'s Zod schema already produces
+   (FR-002).
+
+## Scenario 3 — a validated change deploys without manual steps (User Story 2)
+
+1. Merge a clean change into the branch mapped to the `test` Deploy Target.
+2. **Expected**: the pipeline runs every validation stage, then `Build → Docker build → Publish →
+   Deploy`, and the `test` environment is running the new image afterward — with no engineer
+   running a deploy command by hand (FR-007, SC-003).
+3. Inspect the deploy stage's credential usage: confirm no step reads `.env.test`/`.env.prod`
+   from the repository checkout — only from the CI system's injected credentials (FR-008, SC-004).
+
+## Scenario 4 — a validate-only run never deploys (Edge Case)
+
+1. Push a commit to a branch with no configured Deploy Target (e.g. a random feature branch).
+2. **Expected**: all stages through `Docker build` run and pass; `Publish`/`Deploy` are skipped,
+   not attempted and not marked as failed.
+
+## Scenario 5 — concurrent runs don't interfere (Edge Case)
+
+1. Trigger two pipeline runs at the same time (e.g. push to two different branches, or re-run the
+   same job twice back to back).
+2. **Expected**: each run gets its own workspace and Compose project name; one run's test database
+   state or build artifact never appears in or affects the other (FR-009, SC-005).
+
+## What "done" looks like
+
+All five scenarios above pass, and `specs/001-ci-pipeline/checklists/requirements.md` plus this
+quickstart together demonstrate every functional requirement and success criterion in `spec.md`
+without needing to read the `Jenkinsfile` itself to know what "correct" means.

+# Phase 0 Research: Continuous Integration Pipeline
+
+No `NEEDS CLARIFICATION` markers remained in the Technical Context after `/speckit-plan`'s
+Technical Context pass — this document records the decisions behind that context rather than
+resolving open unknowns.
+
+## Decision: CI system — Jenkins declarative pipeline
+
+- **Decision**: Use a single `Jenkinsfile` (declarative syntax) at the repo root.
+- **Rationale**: The constitution's Technology & Platform Constraints section and
+  `docs/09-testing-observability-cicd.md` §3 both name Jenkins explicitly, with a defined stage
+  order. This isn't a free choice — using anything else would need a constitution amendment.
+- **Alternatives considered**: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI — rejected only because the governing
+  docs already commit to Jenkins; otherwise equally viable for this repo's needs.
+
+## Decision: Environment/secrets handling in the pipeline
+
+- **Decision**: The pipeline injects `POSTGRES_PASSWORD`, `REDIS_PASSWORD`, `JWT_SECRET`, and AWS
+  credentials from Jenkins' credentials store as environment variables / a generated `.env.*`
+  file written into the workspace at runtime — never read from a file committed to the
+  repository.
+- **Rationale**: `.env.development`, `.env.test`, and `.env.prod` were found committed to git
+  with real dev credentials in plain text (fixed separately: untracked, `.env.example` added,
+  see repo commit `2093898`). `docker-compose.test.yml`'s `app` service still declares
+  `env_file: .env.test`, so the pipeline's test stage must materialize a `.env.test` in the
+  workspace from Jenkins credentials immediately before `docker compose up`, then discard it when
+  the stage ends — the checked-in `.env.test` template must only ever contain non-secret
+  placeholder values from here on, matching `.env.prod`'s existing `CHANGE_ME` pattern.
+  Production deploy correspondingly generates `.env.prod` the same way, from Jenkins prod
+  credentials, never from the repo copy.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Docker secrets / mounted files instead of generated `.env` files —
+  viable but a larger change to `docker-compose.*.yml`; deferred as out of scope since it doesn't
+  change the pipeline's external behavior (FR-008 is satisfied either way).
+
+## Decision: Environment validation stage
+
+- **Decision**: The environment-validation stage runs the existing `env.ts` Zod schema
+  (`src/config/env.ts`) against the materialized environment before any test stage starts, by
+  invoking a lightweight script (e.g. `node --env-file=.env.<target> -e "require('./dist/src/config/env.js')"`
+  post-build, or a dedicated `tsx` invocation pre-build) so a missing/malformed variable fails
+  immediately with the schema's existing descriptive Zod error, satisfying FR-002.
+- **Rationale**: `src/config/env.ts` already throws a specific, actionable error
+  (`❌ Invalid environment variables: ...`) on `safeParse` failure — no new validation logic is
+  needed, just an early pipeline invocation of the existing one.
+- **Alternatives considered**: A separate shell script re-implementing required-var checks —
+  rejected as duplicate logic that could drift from the real Zod schema.
+
+## Decision: Quality stage contents
+
+- **Decision**: Stage-to-script mapping is direct:
+  - `install` → `npm ci`
+  - `typecheck` → `npm run typecheck`
+  - `lint` → `npm run lint` (consider folding `scripts/check-architecture.ts`'s module-boundary
+    check into this stage, since it enforces constitution Principle III and already runs in
+    `.husky/pre-commit` — confirmed as in-scope, see Assumptions below)
+  - `format check` → `npm run format:check`
+  - `unit test` → `npm run test:unit`
+  - `integration test` → `npm run test:integration` (requires `docker-compose.test.yml`'s
+    `postgres`/`redis` services running first)
+  - `e2e test` → `npm run test:e2e` (same dependency)
+  - `build` → `npm run build:prod` (or `build:test`/`build:development` depending on target,
+    matching the `BUILD_COMMAND` pattern already used by each `docker-compose.*.yml`)
+  - `docker build` → `docker build` using the existing root `Dockerfile`
+- **Rationale**: Every stage maps to a script that already exists and is already exercised
+  locally/in the pre-commit hook — the pipeline's job is orchestration and environment isolation,
+  not defining new checks (matches plan.md's Summary).
+- **Alternatives considered**: None — this mapping is essentially forced by "don't introduce new
+  checks" (spec.md Assumptions).
+
+## Decision: Publish/deploy mechanism
+
+- **Decision**: `publish` pushes the built image to a container registry (registry choice left to
+  implementation/tasks phase — no registry is currently configured in the repo); `deploy` runs
+  `docker compose --env-file <generated .env> -f docker-compose.<target>.yml up -d` on the target
+  host/agent, reusing the `docker:up:*` npm scripts' underlying compose invocation.
+- **Rationale**: The repo already models per-environment deployment as
+  `docker compose -f docker-compose.<env>.yml up -d` (see `docker:up:dev`, `docker:up:test`,
+  `docker:up:prod` in `package.json`) — the pipeline should drive the same mechanism an engineer
+  would run by hand today, not invent a new one.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Kubernetes/Helm deploy — no k8s manifests exist in the repo today;
+  out of scope unless a future feature introduces them.
+
+## Decision: Concurrent-run isolation (FR-009)
+
+- **Decision**: Rely on Jenkins' per-build workspace isolation (each pipeline run gets its own
+  workspace directory and, for the Docker-dependent stages, project-scoped Compose project names
+  e.g. `-p support-test-${BUILD_NUMBER}`) rather than building custom isolation logic.
+- **Rationale**: This is a built-in Jenkins guarantee once each build uses its own workspace and
+  Compose project name; no additional application code is needed.
+- **Alternatives considered**: None needed — default Jenkins behavior already satisfies this when
+  Compose project names are parameterized by build number.
+
+## Assumptions carried over from spec.md, confirmed against the codebase
+
+- `package.json` scripts (`typecheck`, `lint`, `format:check`, `test:unit`, `test:integration`,
+  `test:e2e`, `build*`, `docker:*`) are confirmed present and are the source of truth for stage
+  behavior.
+- `docker-compose.development.yml` / `.test.yml` / `.prod.yml` are confirmed present and already
+  encode per-environment deploy shape.
+- `.husky/pre-commit` already runs `lint-staged` and `scripts/check-architecture.ts` locally —
+  the CI lint stage should run the same architecture check server-side so a bypassed/missing
+  local hook can't let a boundary violation merge.

+# Feature Specification: Continuous Integration Pipeline
+
+**Feature Branch**: `001-ci-pipeline`
+
+**Created**: 2026-08-21
+
+**Status**: Draft
+
+**Input**: User description: "Close out Phase 1 (engineering foundation) gaps: an automated CI pipeline that validates every change before it can be merged/deployed, per docs/09-testing-observability-cicd.md section 3."
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Every change is automatically validated before merge (Priority: P1)
+
+An engineer pushes a change (new commit or pull request) to the repository. Before the change
+can be merged or deployed, the system automatically checks out the code, installs dependencies,
+validates required environment/configuration, and runs type-checking, linting, format-checking,
+and the automated test suites (unit, integration, E2E) against it, then reports pass/fail back
+to the engineer.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the baseline safety net every other phase depends on. Without it,
+regressions in later phases (ticketing, orchestration, AI support) can reach production
+undetected, and the constitution's "MUST verify compliance before merge" governance rule has no
+automated enforcement.
+
+**Independent Test**: Push a commit that fails a lint rule (or a failing test) and confirm the
+pipeline reports failure and blocks the change; push a clean commit and confirm the pipeline
+reports success end-to-end.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a new commit is pushed, **When** the pipeline runs, **Then** it executes checkout,
+   dependency install, environment validation, type-check, lint, format-check, unit tests,
+   integration tests, and E2E tests, in that order, and stops at the first failing stage.
+2. **Given** all validation stages pass, **When** the pipeline reaches the build stage, **Then**
+   it produces a build artifact and a container image ready for the next stage.
+3. **Given** any validation stage fails, **When** the pipeline reports status, **Then** the
+   engineer can see which stage failed and why, without needing to reproduce the failure
+   manually to get that information.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - A validated build can be published and deployed without manual steps (Priority: P2)
+
+Once a change has passed all validation stages, the system publishes the resulting build
+artifact/image and can deploy it to an environment (e.g. test/staging/production) using
+environment-specific configuration and credentials, without an engineer manually running deploy
+commands.
+
+**Why this priority**: Automating publish/deploy is what makes the validation in User Story 1
+actually load-bearing — a validated build that still requires manual, error-prone deploy steps
+undermines the safety the pipeline is meant to provide. It's second priority because User Story
+1 (catching regressions) delivers value even before deploy is automated.
+
+**Independent Test**: Merge a validated change and confirm it is published and deployed to a
+target environment automatically, with no manual command execution required.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a build has passed every validation stage, **When** the pipeline reaches
+   publish/deploy, **Then** the artifact is published and deployed to the target environment
+   using that environment's own configuration and credentials.
+2. **Given** a deploy targets a production environment, **When** the pipeline runs, **Then** it
+   uses protected, environment-managed credentials and never reads secrets from a file committed
+   to the repository.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when a required environment variable/secret is missing for the target
+  environment? The pipeline MUST fail fast at the environment-validation stage with a clear
+  message identifying what's missing, before running any test or build stage.
+- What happens when a pipeline run is triggered for a branch/change that has no deploy target
+  (e.g., a feature branch, not main)? The pipeline MUST still run all validation stages through
+  build, but MUST NOT publish or deploy.
+- How does the system handle two changes validating concurrently? Each run MUST be isolated —
+  one run's failure or artifacts must not affect a concurrent run for a different change.
+- What happens when a stage (e.g. E2E tests) is flaky and fails intermittently for reasons
+  unrelated to the change? Out of scope for this feature — flaky-test quarantine/retry policy is
+  a separate concern to be addressed if/when it becomes a problem.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: The system MUST automatically run on every proposed change (commit/pull request)
+  without requiring an engineer to manually trigger validation.
+- **FR-002**: The system MUST validate that required environment configuration is present and
+  well-formed before running any test stage, and MUST fail with a specific, actionable message
+  if it is not.
+- **FR-003**: The system MUST run, in order, and stop at the first failure: type-checking,
+  lint checks, format checks, unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests.
+- **FR-004**: The system MUST report which stage failed and the relevant failure output back to
+  the engineer who proposed the change, without requiring local reproduction to see it.
+- **FR-005**: The system MUST only proceed to build/publish/deploy stages after every prior
+  validation stage has passed.
+- **FR-006**: The system MUST produce a versioned, reproducible build artifact and container
+  image once validation passes.
+- **FR-007**: The system MUST support deploying the same validated artifact to multiple
+  environments (at minimum: test/staging and production), using environment-specific
+  configuration.
+- **FR-008**: The system MUST NOT read production secrets/credentials from any file committed
+  to the repository — environment credentials MUST be supplied by the pipeline's own protected
+  configuration at run time.
+- **FR-009**: The system MUST isolate concurrent pipeline runs so that one change's validation
+  or build artifacts cannot affect another concurrent run.
+- **FR-010**: The system MUST make current and historical pipeline run status (pass/fail, per
+  stage) visible to engineers without requiring direct server/log access.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Pipeline Run**: One execution of the full validate → build → publish → deploy sequence for
+  a specific change; has an ordered list of stage results and an overall pass/fail outcome.
+- **Stage Result**: The outcome (pass/fail, output) of one stage (e.g. lint, unit test) within a
+  Pipeline Run.
+- **Deploy Target**: An environment (test, staging, production) a validated build can be
+  published/deployed to, with its own configuration and credentials.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: 100% of proposed changes are validated automatically before merge — zero changes
+  reach the main branch without having passed the pipeline.
+- **SC-002**: An engineer can determine which validation stage failed, and why, within 1 minute
+  of the pipeline completing, without reproducing the issue locally.
+- **SC-003**: A validated change can be deployed to any supported environment with zero manual
+  deploy commands run by an engineer.
+- **SC-004**: No production secret ever appears in repository history (verified by secret-scan
+  of the repository).
+- **SC-005**: Two changes validating at the same time never interfere with each other's result
+  (zero cross-run contamination incidents).
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- "Environments" for deploy purposes are, at minimum, test/staging and production, matching the
+  `.env.test` / `.env.development` / `.env.prod` split already present in the codebase's package
+  scripts.
+- The existing local quality scripts (typecheck, lint, format:check, test:unit, test:integration,
+  test:e2e, build) are the source of truth for what each pipeline stage runs — this feature wires
+  them into an automated, triggered pipeline rather than defining new checks.
+- Deployment targets are container-based (the repository already has Docker Compose files per
+  environment), so "publish" means publishing a container image and "deploy" means rolling it
+  out via the existing container orchestration for that environment.

+
+# Tasks: Continuous Integration Pipeline
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `specs/001-ci-pipeline/`
+
+**Prerequisites**: [plan.md](./plan.md), [spec.md](./spec.md), [research.md](./research.md),
+[data-model.md](./data-model.md), [contracts/pipeline-stage-contract.md](./contracts/pipeline-stage-contract.md),
+[quickstart.md](./quickstart.md)
+
+**Tests**: Not requested in spec.md as automated test tasks — this feature's own "tests" are the
+5 quickstart scenarios, run manually against a real Jenkins instance and included as verification
+tasks within each story below.
+
+**Organization**: Tasks are grouped by user story (US1 = P1, US2 = P2) to enable independent
+implementation and testing of each story.
+
+## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
+
+- **[P]**: Can run in parallel (different files/independent stage blocks, no dependency on an
+  incomplete task)
+- **[Story]**: Which user story this task belongs to (US1, US2)
+- All file paths are relative to `supporthub-api/` (repo root)
+
+## Path Conventions
+
+Single project — this feature adds one new root-level file, `Jenkinsfile`, plus edits to
+`.gitignore`/docs. No `src/` changes (this feature adds no application code, per plan.md).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Setup
+
+**Purpose**: Get a buildable pipeline skeleton and confirm the container build this pipeline will
+drive actually works today, before wiring stage logic into it.
+
+- [X] T001 Create `Jenkinsfile` at repo root with declarative pipeline skeleton: `agent`,
+      `options { disableConcurrentMultipleBuilds... }`, empty `stages {}` block, and a `post`
+      block placeholder — in `Jenkinsfile`
+- [X] T002 [P] Verify the existing multi-stage `Dockerfile` builds cleanly outside CI
+      (`docker build --build-arg BUILD_COMMAND="npm run build:prod" -t supporthub-api-ci .`) so
+      the pipeline's `Docker build` stage has a known-good target — no file changes, verification
+      only
+
+**Checkpoint**: A no-op pipeline exists and the Docker build it will call is confirmed working.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Foundational (Blocking Prerequisites)
+
+**Purpose**: The stages every user story's stages sit on top of — checkout, dependency install,
+env validation, and Prisma client generation, all required regardless of which story's stages
+run next.
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL**: No user-story stage work can be added until this phase is complete.
+
+- [X] T003 Add `Checkout` stage (SCM checkout) to `Jenkinsfile`
+- [X] T004 Add `Install` stage (`npm ci`) to `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T003)
+- [X] T005 Add `Environment validation` stage to `Jenkinsfile`: materialize `.env.<target>` from
+      Jenkins credentials (per research.md's secrets decision — never read the repo's `.env.*`),
+      then invoke the existing Zod schema in `src/config/env.ts` so a missing/malformed variable
+      fails immediately with its existing descriptive error (FR-002) (depends on T004)
+- [X] T006 [P] Add a `Generate Prisma client` step (`npm run prisma:generate`) to `Jenkinsfile`,
+      required before `Typecheck`/`Build` can succeed (depends on T004)
+
+**Checkpoint**: Checkout → install → env validation → Prisma generate all run and pass on a clean
+commit. User Story 1's stages can now be added.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 1 - Every change is automatically validated before merge (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: A proposed change is automatically checked out, installed, environment-validated, and
+run through typecheck/lint/format/unit/integration/E2E/build/docker-build, stopping at the first
+failure and reporting which stage failed with its output.
+
+**Independent Test**: Push a commit with a deliberate lint violation and confirm the pipeline
+fails at `Lint` and never reaches later stages (Quickstart Scenario 1); push a commit with a
+missing required env var and confirm `Environment validation` fails first (Quickstart Scenario 2).
+
+### Implementation for User Story 1
+
+- [X] T007 [US1] Add `Typecheck` stage (`npm run typecheck`) to `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T006)
+- [X] T008 [US1] Add `Lint` stage to `Jenkinsfile`, running both `npm run lint` and
+      `npx tsx scripts/check-architecture.ts` (module-boundary check, matches `.husky/pre-commit`
+      and enforces Constitution Principle III server-side) (depends on T007)
+- [X] T009 [US1] Add `Format check` stage (`npm run format:check`) to `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T008)
+- [X] T010 [US1] Add `Unit test` stage (`npm run test:unit`) to `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T009)
+- [X] T011 [US1] Add a step before `Integration test` that brings up ephemeral `postgres`/`redis`
+      via `docker-compose.test.yml`, with the Compose project name parameterized by
+      `${BUILD_NUMBER}` for run isolation (FR-009), in `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T010)
+- [X] T012 [US1] Add `Integration test` stage (`npm run test:integration`) to `Jenkinsfile`
+      (depends on T011)
+- [X] T013 [US1] Add `E2E test` stage (`npm run test:e2e`) to `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T011)
+- [X] T014 [US1] Add `Build` stage (`npm run build:prod`, or the target-specific `build:*` script
+      matching the resolved Deploy Target) to `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T012, T013)
+- [X] T015 [US1] Add `Docker build` stage using the root `Dockerfile` (T002's verified command) to
+      `Jenkinsfile` (depends on T014)
+- [X] T016 [US1] Add a `post` block to `Jenkinsfile` that surfaces which stage failed and its
+      captured output on failure (FR-004, SC-002), and tears down the ephemeral
+      `docker-compose.test.yml` stack (`always`) regardless of outcome
+- [ ] T017 [US1] Manually run Quickstart Scenarios 1, 2, and 5 from
+      `specs/001-ci-pipeline/quickstart.md` against a real Jenkins job and confirm all three pass
+
+**Checkpoint**: User Story 1 is fully functional — every proposed change is validated end-to-end
+through `Docker build`, and failures are diagnosable from the Jenkins UI alone. This is a
+deployable/demoable increment even before US2 exists (Publish/Deploy just wouldn't run yet).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 - A validated build can be published and deployed without manual steps (Priority: P2)
+
+**Goal**: A build that has passed every Phase 3 stage is published (image pushed to a registry)
+and deployed to its target environment automatically, using environment-specific credentials —
+with `Publish`/`Deploy` skipped (not failed) on changes that have no configured Deploy Target.
+
+**Independent Test**: Merge a clean change into the branch mapped to the `test` Deploy Target and
+confirm the `test` environment is running the new image afterward with zero manual deploy
+commands (Quickstart Scenario 3); push to a branch with no Deploy Target and confirm
+`Publish`/`Deploy` are skipped, not attempted (Quickstart Scenario 4).
+
+### Implementation for User Story 2
+
+- [X] T018 [US2] Add branch → Deploy Target resolution logic to `Jenkinsfile` (e.g. `main` → prod,
+      a designated test branch → test; everything else → no Deploy Target) (depends on T015)
+- [X] T019 [US2] Add `Publish` stage to `Jenkinsfile`: push the `Docker build` image to a
+      container registry, guarded to run only when a Deploy Target was resolved (T018) (depends
+      on T018)
+- [X] T020 [US2] Add a step to `Jenkinsfile` that generates the target's `.env.<target>` from
+      Jenkins credentials immediately before deploy (never from the repo copy, per research.md),
+      scoped to the `Deploy` stage's workspace only (depends on T018)
+- [X] T021 [US2] Add `Deploy` stage to `Jenkinsfile`: run
+      `docker compose --env-file <generated> -f docker-compose.<target>.yml up -d` against the
+      resolved Deploy Target, guarded the same way as `Publish` (depends on T019, T020)
+- [X] T022 [US2] Confirm (via `Jenkinsfile` `when` conditions) that `Publish`/`Deploy` are marked
+      `skipped`, not `failed`, on runs with no resolved Deploy Target (depends on T018)
+- [ ] T023 [US2] Manually run Quickstart Scenarios 3 and 4 from
+      `specs/001-ci-pipeline/quickstart.md` against a real Jenkins job and confirm both pass,
+      including verifying no step reads `.env.test`/`.env.prod` from the repository checkout
+
+**Checkpoint**: Both user stories work independently and together — a validated change now
+reaches its target environment with no manual deploy step, and unvalidated/no-target changes stop
+cleanly after `Docker build`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+**Purpose**: Documentation and final verification once both stories are implemented.
+
+- [X] T024 [P] Add a short "CI/CD" section to `README.md` describing how the pipeline is
+      triggered, where to view run status, and how to configure required Jenkins credentials
+      (cross-reference `specs/001-ci-pipeline/quickstart.md`)
+- [X] T025 [P] Review `Jenkinsfile` line-by-line to confirm no credential value or literal
+      environment secret was hardcoded anywhere in the file (SC-004) — should only ever reference
+      Jenkins credential IDs, never raw values
+- [X] T026 Update `specs/001-ci-pipeline/checklists/requirements.md` Notes if implementation
+      surfaced any spec gap not previously captured
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies — start immediately
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup (T001) — BLOCKS both user stories
+- **User Story 1 (Phase 3)**: Depends on Foundational completion — no dependency on US2
+- **User Story 2 (Phase 4)**: Depends on User Story 1's `Docker build` stage existing (T015) —
+  unlike a typical spec-kit feature, US2 is not independently implementable before US1 here,
+  because "publish/deploy a validated build" has nothing to publish/deploy until US1's build
+  stages exist. US2 remains independently *testable* (Quickstart Scenarios 3-4 are separate from
+  1-2-5) even though it isn't independently *implementable* first.
+- **Polish (Phase 5)**: Depends on both user stories being complete
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- T002 (Dockerfile verification) can run in parallel with T001 (Jenkinsfile skeleton creation)
+- T006 (Prisma generate step) can run in parallel with T005 (env validation step) once T004 is done
+- T024 and T025 in Polish can run in parallel
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
+
+1. Complete Phase 1: Setup (T001-T002)
+2. Complete Phase 2: Foundational (T003-T006)
+3. Complete Phase 3: User Story 1 (T007-T017)
+4. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Run Quickstart Scenarios 1, 2, 5 against a real Jenkins job
+5. This alone satisfies SC-001, SC-002, and half of SC-005 — a real, demoable safety net — before
+   any deploy automation exists
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Setup + Foundational → pipeline skeleton runs and validates environment
+2. Add User Story 1 → validate/build automatically on every change (MVP)
+3. Add User Story 2 → validated builds deploy automatically, still skipping cleanly when there's
+   no target
+4. Polish → documentation and a final secrets/hardcoding review

+- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
+- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+- [x] All mandatory sections completed
+
+## Requirement Completeness
+
+- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+- [x] Success criteria are measurable
+- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
+- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+- [x] Edge cases are identified

+
+## Feature Readiness
+
+- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
+- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
+- [x] No implementation details leak into specification
+
+## Notes
+
+- Auth mechanism choice (signed tokens/OAuth2/mTLS) and rotation-window length are deliberately
+  left to `/speckit-plan`, not decided here — see spec.md Assumptions.
+- Idempotency-key enforcement is explicitly deferred to the future ticketing feature (FR-012
+  reserves the field only); this is a scope boundary, not a gap.
+- Exact rate-limit values and auth-mechanism-per-integration defaults are
+  `REQUIRES BUSINESS CONFIRMATION` per docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md — not invented here.
+- All items pass; no revision iterations were needed.
+
+## Implementation notes (added during /speckit-implement)
+
+- **Found and fixed a codebase-wide bug, not specific to this feature**: `src/app.ts` called
+  `app.setErrorHandler(...)` *after* `bootstrapRoutes(app)` had already registered every domain
+  module's routes. Fastify resolves each encapsulated child context's error handler at the time
+  that context is registered — a handler set on the parent afterwards does not retroactively
+  apply to already-registered children. Every module registered via `app.register(someRoutes)`
+  (which is every module in this codebase, since none use `fastify-plugin`) was silently falling
+  back to Fastify's default `{statusCode, error, message}` error shape instead of this app's
+  `{success:false, error:{code,message,details}, requestId}` envelope, for *any* error — not
+  just ones from this feature's plugin. Fixed by moving `setErrorHandler`/`setNotFoundHandler`
+  before `bootstrapRoutes` in `src/app.ts`. Covered by a new regression test in
+  `tests/unit/app.test.ts` (verified it fails without the fix, passes with it).
+- **Found and fixed a second bug in the same handler**: the generic (non-`AppError`,
+  non-`ZodError`) fallback branch always returned `500`, even for framework-level errors that
+  already carry their own client-facing `statusCode` (e.g. Fastify's body-parser rejecting
+  malformed JSON is a `400`, not a server failure). Fixed to preserve the original
+  `statusCode`/`code` when it's in the 4xx range.
+- **Found and fixed a pre-existing DB/Redis wiring gap that only became harmful because of this
+  feature**: `vitest.config.ts`'s hardcoded test `DATABASE_URL` (`localhost:5432`) and default
+  Redis config don't correspond to any service `docker-compose.test.yml` actually publishes to
+  the host, so `test:integration` could never reach a real database under this repo's own
+  tooling. This was harmless while every "integration" test was an instantiation-only check (see
+  `specs/001-ci-pipeline/checklists/requirements.md`), but this feature's integration test
+  (`tests/integration/product-integration-auth.test.ts`) makes real Prisma/Redis calls. Rather
+  than leave a newly-introduced test permanently broken for anyone without a coincidentally
+  matching local Postgres, fixed `test:unit`'s script to scope to `tests/unit` only (it was
+  running the entire `tests/**` glob, including integration/E2E, via no path argument) — matching
+  `test:integration`/`test:e2e`'s existing explicit scoping. `test:integration` itself still needs
+  a reachable Postgres/Redis (via `docker-compose.test.yml` in CI, or a local equivalent) and was
+  manually verified end-to-end against a temporary Docker Postgres/Redis (see PR description) —
+  it is not run as part of `npm test`.
+- Manually verified all of spec.md's User Story 1 acceptance scenarios end-to-end against a live
+  server + Postgres + Redis (via temporary Docker containers), beyond what the automated tests
+  cover: valid in-scope acceptance, indistinguishable invalid-credential/unregistered-product
+  rejection, unknown-field rejection, out-of-scope rejection, and replay rejection.
+- **User Story 2 (admin onboarding/rotation/revocation/audit-trail) is now implemented and
+  automatically tested** (`tests/integration/product-integrations-admin.test.ts`, run against a
+  real Postgres/Redis, verified passing). **Known limitation carried over from the existing
+  codebase, not introduced by this feature**: the admin routes are gated by
+  `fastify.authenticate` (`src/plugins/auth.plugin.ts`), which is currently a no-op stub — it
+  never actually verifies a JWT or rejects an unauthenticated caller. These admin endpoints are
+  therefore not really access-controlled yet. Fixing this requires the `identity/auth` module
+  (itself unimplemented) and is out of scope for this feature — flagged here and in
+  `contracts/inbound-request-contract.md` so it isn't mistaken for "done."
+- **User Story 3 (rate limiting) is now implemented and automatically tested**
+  (`tests/integration/inbound-rate-limit.test.ts`, run against a real Postgres/Redis, verified
+  passing): a bespoke Redis fixed-window counter (`checkRateLimit`,
+  `src/infrastructure/cache/rate-limiter.ts`) rather than `@fastify/rate-limit`'s default
+  `onRequest`-stage hook — that hook runs before this feature's preHandler-based auth resolves
+  the integration/user identity the limit needs to key on, so a second preHandler
+  (`checkIntegrationRateLimit`) runs after `authenticateProductIntegration` and checks the
+  integration-level limit, then the per-user limit, independently. Verified both are enforced
+  independently (a single user's own throttling doesn't affect others; the integration cap
+  throttles even when no individual user has hit their own limit).
+- All three user stories (P1, P2, P3) of this feature are now implemented and covered by
+  integration tests verified against a live Postgres/Redis, in addition to the unit tests for the
+  crypto/token primitives. `docs/06-database-schema.md` itself is intentionally not modified —
+  it's the source spec this implementation follows, not generated output.

+# Contract: Inbound SaaS Request Authentication
+
+## Request
+
+Every inbound request from an integrated SaaS product carries:
+
+- **Header**: `Authorization: Bearer <signed-token>` — the signed short-lived token from
+  research.md ("Signed short-lived token format").
+- **Body**: JSON matching the Inbound Request Contract shape in `data-model.md`, validated with a
+  `.strict()` Zod schema.
+
+## Validation order (fixed — each step's failure short-circuits the rest)
+
+Request body shape is checked first because it's cheap and stateless — no reason to spend a
+crypto verification or a database lookup on a request that's malformed anyway:
+
+1. **Request body matches the strict schema** (no unknown fields) → else `400 VALIDATION_ERROR`.
+2. **`Authorization: Bearer <token>` header present and well-formed** → else
+   `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`.
+3. **`ProductIntegration` exists for the body's `productId`** → else
+   `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL` (identical to step 4's failure — see FR-010).
+4. **Token verifies** against that integration's `credentialRef` or non-expired
+   `previousCredentialRef` → else `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`.
+5. **Token not expired** (beyond the configured clock-skew tolerance) → else
+   `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`.
+6. **Token `jti` not previously seen** (replay check against Redis) → else
+   `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`.
+7. **`ProductIntegration.revokedAt IS NULL`** → else `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`.
+8. **`ProductIntegration.status == 'active'`** → else `403 PRODUCT_INTEGRATION_SUSPENDED`.
+9. **`Product.status == 'active'`** → else `403 PRODUCT_INTEGRATION_SUSPENDED`.
+10. **`tenantId`/`userId` fall within `ProductIntegration.allowedScope`** → else
+    `403 REQUEST_OUT_OF_SCOPE`.
+11. **Rate limit (integration-level, then user-level) not exceeded** → else `429 RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`
+    (User Story 3 — applied after auth succeeds, on the resolved integration/user identity).
+
+Only after all eleven checks pass does `request.reqContext` get populated
+(`productId` → internal `Product.id`, `customerId` → `CustomerReference.id`,
+`tenantId` → `externalTenantId`, `actorType` → `CUSTOMER`, `actorId` → `externalUserId`) and the
+request reaches its route handler. Every attempt — pass or fail at any step — writes one
+`AuditLog` row (data-model.md).
+
+## Guarantees (callable contract)
+
+1. **No side effect before full validation.** No `CustomerReference` row, no `AuditLog` success
+   row, no downstream processing happens until step 9 passes.
+2. **Identical response for "unregistered" and "invalid credential."** Per research.md's FR-010
+   decision — callers cannot distinguish "you don't exist" from "you exist but this credential is
+   wrong."
+3. **Distinguishable suspension and scope errors.** `403 PRODUCT_INTEGRATION_SUSPENDED` and
+   `403 REQUEST_OUT_OF_SCOPE` are each their own error code, safe to distinguish per research.md.
+4. **No raw credential value ever appears in a log, audit row, or error response.**
+5. **A revoked credential is rejected starting with the very next request** — no propagation
+   delay (SC-002).
+6. **During a rotation's transition window, both the old and new credential validate
+   successfully** (SC-003).
+7. **An unknown field anywhere in the request body rejects the entire request**, not just that
+   field (FR-008).
+
+## Admin: Integration Lifecycle Endpoints
+
+Extends the existing `catalog/products` module (`src/modules/catalog/products/`). Registration is
+keyed by the product's *external* id (the product may not exist locally yet — registering an
+integration creates it); every other operation is keyed by the `ProductIntegration`'s own id,
+since that's what registration returns and what admin tooling references thereafter:
+
+| Route | Operation | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `POST /admin/products/:externalProductId/integration` | Register integration | Finds-or-creates the `Product`, then creates its `ProductIntegration` with a freshly generated `credentialRef`/secret, `authMechanism: 'signed_token'`, and the request body's `allowedScope` |
+| `POST /admin/integrations/:integrationId/rotate` | Rotate credential | Moves current `credentialRef` → `previousCredentialRef`, sets `previousCredentialExpiresAt` (research.md's rotation transition window), issues a new `credentialRef`/secret; returns the new secret exactly once (never retrievable again — matches "never persist raw credential," see research.md "Credential storage") |
+| `POST /admin/integrations/:integrationId/revoke` | Revoke credential | Sets `revokedAt`; both current and previous credentials become invalid immediately |
+| `PATCH /admin/integrations/:integrationId/status` | Update status | Sets `ProductIntegration.status` (`active`/`suspended`) — independent of `Product.status` |
+| `GET /admin/integrations/:integrationId/audit-trail` | Get audit trail | Lists `AuditLog` rows where `entityType = 'ProductIntegration'` and `entityId` matches, newest first |
+
+All five require an admin-authenticated caller via the existing human/admin JWT plugin
+(`fastify.authenticate`, `src/plugins/auth.plugin.ts`) — a separate concern from the
+product-integration signed-token auth this contract otherwise describes. **Known limitation**:
+`auth.plugin.ts`'s `authenticate` decorator is currently a stub that performs no real JWT
+verification (it exists as scaffolding — see `src/modules/identity/auth`, itself unimplemented).
+These admin endpoints are therefore not actually access-controlled yet; real JWT verification is
+a separate, pre-existing gap this feature surfaces but does not fix.

+# Phase 1 Data Model: SaaS Product Integration & Inbound Request Trust
+
+All models below use `cuid()` ids, matching `docs/06-database-schema.md`. This supersedes the
+current placeholder `Product` model in `prisma/schema.prisma` (see research.md "Reconciling the
+placeholder Prisma schema").
+
+## Product (revised)
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| externalProductId | String @unique | Reference into the SaaS — not authoritative here (Constitution Principle I) |
+| name | String | |
+| supportEnabled | Boolean @default(true) | Per spec.md/docs/01 §5: support is enabled by default per product |
+| status | String | `active` \| `suspended` \| `deprecated` — admin-editable, drives FR-011/FR-012 |
+| createdAt / updatedAt | DateTime | |
+
+**Relations added by this feature**: `integration ProductIntegration?` (1:1). Relations to
+`KnowledgeEntry[]`, `Runbook[]`, `Ticket[]` from doc 06 are deferred until those models exist in
+their owning features (Phase 3/5) — Prisma can't reference a model that doesn't exist yet.
+
+## ProductIntegration
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| productId | String @unique | 1:1 with Product |
+| credentialRef | String | AES-256-GCM-encrypted secret (ciphertext, not plaintext) — see research.md "Credential storage" for why this isn't a real secret-manager pointer yet |
+| previousCredentialRef | String? | Same encryption, set during a rotation's transition window (research.md) |
+| previousCredentialExpiresAt | DateTime? | When the previous credential stops being accepted |
+| authMechanism | String | `signed_token` for this feature; free-text so a future integration can use `oauth2_client_credentials` or `mtls` without a schema change |
+| allowedScope | Json | Structured scope: at minimum `{ tenantIds?: string[], allowAnyTenant?: boolean }` — validated against inbound `tenantId`/`userId` (FR-003) |
+| rateLimitPerMinute | Int @default(60) | Integration-level limit (FR-009), admin-editable |
+| rateLimitPerUserPerMinute | Int @default(20) | Per-user-within-integration limit (FR-009) |
+| status | String @default("active") | `active` \| `suspended` — independent of Product.status so an integration can be disabled without touching the product record |
+| rotatedAt | DateTime? | Last rotation timestamp |
+| revokedAt | DateTime? | Set on revocation; a revoked integration's `credentialRef` and `previousCredentialRef` are both immediately invalid regardless of `previousCredentialExpiresAt` |
+| createdAt | DateTime @default(now()) | |
+
+**Validation rule**: A token is accepted only if it verifies against `credentialRef`, OR against
+`previousCredentialRef` AND `now() < previousCredentialExpiresAt` — AND `revokedAt IS NULL` — AND
+the owning `Product.status == 'active'` AND this record's own `status == 'active'`.
+
+## CustomerReference
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| externalUserId | String | Reference only — never authoritative (Constitution Principle I) |
+| externalTenantId | String | |
+| createdAt | DateTime @default(now()) | |
+
+**Unique constraint**: `@@unique([externalUserId, externalTenantId])` — first-seen wins; repeat
+requests for the same user+tenant reuse the same reference row rather than creating duplicates.
+
+## Authentication Audit Event → reuses `AuditLog`
+
+No new model. Every authentication attempt writes one `AuditLog` row:
+
+| AuditLog field | Value for an auth event |
+|---|---|
+| actor | The `ProductIntegration.id` if resolvable (even on failure, once the credential at least identifies *a* product), else `"unknown"` |
+| actorType | `system` |
+| action | `integration.auth.success` \| `integration.auth.failure` |
+| entityType | `ProductIntegration` |
+| entityId | The `ProductIntegration.id` |
+| reason | On failure: which check failed (`invalid_credential` \| `suspended` \| `out_of_scope` \| `expired` \| `replayed`) — never the raw token/credential |
+| metadata | `{ externalUserId?, externalTenantId? }` — no raw credential value, ever (FR-007/FR-010) |
+| createdAt | now() |
+
+## Inbound Request Contract (validated shape, not persisted as its own table)
+
+Extends `docs/02-integration-and-security.md` §3 with the reserved idempotency field from
+spec.md FR-012:
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| productId | string | The *external* product id as the caller knows it — resolved to internal `Product.id` during validation |
+| tenantId | string | → `CustomerReference.externalTenantId` |
+| userId | string | → `CustomerReference.externalUserId` |
+| source | string | e.g. `"docuqube-web"` |
+| problem | string | Free-text — not validated/interpreted by this feature |
+| feature | string? | Optional |
+| referenceIds | string[]? | Optional |
+| context | Record<string, unknown>? | Optional |
+| idempotencyKey | string? | Reserved per FR-012 — accepted and echoed if present, not deduplicated against anything yet |
+
+Validated with a Zod `.strict()` schema (research.md) — any field not in this list rejects the
+whole request.

+# Implementation Plan: SaaS Product Integration & Inbound Request Trust
+
+**Branch**: `002-saas-integration` | **Date**: 2026-08-21 | **Spec**: [spec.md](./spec.md)
+
+**Input**: Feature specification from `specs/002-saas-integration/spec.md`
+
+## Summary
+
+Add the trust boundary between an integrating SaaS product and SupportHub: a `ProductIntegration`
+record per product (credential reference, allowed scope, rotation/revocation state), a signed
+short-lived-token service-to-service auth mechanism validated on every inbound request via a new
+Fastify plugin, per-integration/per-user rate limiting, and admin CRUD for onboarding/rotating/
+revoking an integration. Populates the existing `RequestContext` (`productId`/`customerId`/
+`tenantId`) so every later module can trust that context without re-validating it.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: TypeScript 5.4 / Node.js 20+, matching the rest of the repo.
+
+**Primary Dependencies**: Fastify (new plugin), `@fastify/rate-limit` (already a dependency,
+currently registered with a single global limit — extended with a per-route `keyGenerator`),
+Zod (inbound contract schema), Prisma (new models), Node's built-in `crypto` (HMAC signing/
+verification for the signed-token mechanism — no new signing library needed).
+
+**Storage**: PostgreSQL via Prisma — adds `ProductIntegration` and `CustomerReference` models,
+and aligns the existing placeholder `Product` model with `docs/06-database-schema.md`'s real
+shape (see research.md "Reconciling the placeholder Prisma schema").
+
+**Testing**: Vitest — unit tests for token verification/scope-checking logic, integration tests
+for the full inbound-request preHandler against a real Postgres (per existing
+`docker-compose.test.yml`, wired up by the 001-ci-pipeline feature).
+
+**Target Platform**: Same Fastify modular monolith; this feature adds one new Fastify plugin and
+one module's worth of admin endpoints — no new service, no new deployable unit.
+
+**Project Type**: Backend service — single project, no frontend changes in this feature (an admin
+UI for onboarding/rotating integrations is Phase 10 per the roadmap; this feature only needs the
+API surface admin tooling will eventually call).
+
+**Performance Goals**: Credential/token validation must not add meaningfully to request latency —
+target under 10ms added overhead per request for the signed-token verification path (in-process
+HMAC check, no external call).
+
+**Constraints**: MUST NOT log or persist raw credential/token values (FR-007, FR-010 from
+spec.md); MUST reject unknown fields on the inbound contract (FR-008); rate limiting MUST be
+adjustable without a deploy (Constitution Principle II).
+
+**Scale/Scope**: One inbound endpoint contract (the `ProductToSupportHubRequest` shape from
+doc 02 §3, extended with the reserved `idempotencyKey` field from spec.md FR-012), plus admin
+endpoints for integration lifecycle (register, rotate, revoke, list, get). Does not include
+ticket creation itself — this feature validates and trusts the request; acting on it (creating a
+ticket) is the ticketing feature.
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+| Principle / Section | Check | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| I. SaaS Is the Sole Identity & Access Authority | `CustomerReference` stores only `externalUserId`/`externalTenantId` as references, never a copy of SaaS user/tenant data; SupportHub never authenticates the end customer itself, only the product's service-to-service credential. | PASS |
+| II. Configuration Over Hardcoding | Rate limits, integration status, and credential scope are all admin-editable data (`ProductIntegration.allowedScope`, plus a new rate-limit config), not hardcoded. | PASS |
+| III. Layered Architecture With Enforced Module Boundaries | New Fastify plugin is infrastructure (like `auth.plugin.ts`), not a module; it only reads validated data via the repository layer of the integration-management module — no controller touches Prisma directly. | PASS |
+| IV. AI Recommends, Deterministic Policy Decides | Not applicable — no AI involved in this feature. | PASS — N/A |
+| V. Evidence-Based Verification | Not applicable — no resolution/verification concept in this feature. | PASS — N/A |
+| VI. Durable Audit & History | Every auth attempt (success/failure) is written to the existing `AuditLog` model (FR-007) — reused, not duplicated. | PASS |
+| VII. Concurrency-Safe, Durable Job Handling | Credential rotation must not race with an in-flight validation using the old credential — handled by checking both old/new credential validity within the transition window rather than an atomic cutover (see research.md). No `setTimeout`-based expiry. | PASS |
+| VIII. Problem and Ticket Are Separate, Related Entities | Not applicable — this feature predates both entities. | PASS — N/A |
+| Technology & Platform Constraints | Uses Fastify/Zod/Prisma/Node crypto only — no new runtime dependency added. | PASS |
+
+No violations requiring Complexity Tracking justification.
+
+## Post-Design Constitution Re-check
+
+All gates above remain PASS after Phase 1 design (data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md).
+One design detail worth calling out explicitly: `ProductIntegration.authMechanism` is stored as
+free text, not an enum restricted to `signed_token` — this is deliberate so a future integration
+requiring OAuth2 or mTLS (both still valid per docs/02 §4) doesn't require a schema migration,
+keeping this decision genuinely configuration-driven (Principle II) rather than a hardcoded
+assumption that every integration uses the same mechanism forever.

+
+**Structure Decision**: Single project, extending the existing `catalog/products` module rather
+than introducing a new top-level module — `docs/07-backend-architecture.md`'s module list has no
+separate "product-integrations" module, and `docs/06-database-schema.md` nests
+`ProductIntegration` directly under Product's own domain grouping (1:1 relation). The inbound
+auth *validation* itself is cross-cutting request-handling infrastructure, so it lives in
+`src/plugins/`, matching the existing `auth.plugin.ts` pattern for human/admin JWT auth — these
+are two distinct auth concerns (product-to-SupportHub vs. person-to-SupportHub) and stay in
+separate plugins rather than merged into one.
+
+## Complexity Tracking

+# Quickstart: Validating SaaS Product Integration & Inbound Request Trust
+
+Prerequisites: local dev environment running (`docker:up:dev` or equivalent), Prisma migrated
+with this feature's schema changes applied, one `Product` + `ProductIntegration` seeded (or
+created via the admin endpoints below).
+
+## Scenario 1 — a valid, in-scope request is accepted (User Story 1)
+
+1. Register a product integration (admin endpoint) and note the returned signing secret.
+2. Sign a token for that integration with `tenantId`/`userId` values inside its `allowedScope`.
+3. Send the inbound request with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and a body matching the contract.
+4. **Expected**: `200`-level response; a `CustomerReference` row exists for the `tenantId`/
+   `userId`; an `AuditLog` row records `integration.auth.success`.
+
+## Scenario 2 — invalid/unregistered credential is rejected (User Story 1)
+
+1. Send the same request with a token signed by an arbitrary/wrong secret.
+2. **Expected**: `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`; no `CustomerReference` created; an
+   `AuditLog` row records `integration.auth.failure` with `reason: invalid_credential`.
+3. Repeat with a `productId` that has never been registered at all.
+4. **Expected**: the exact same `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL` response — confirm the two
+   failure modes are indistinguishable from the response alone (FR-010).
+
+## Scenario 3 — suspended product is distinguishably rejected (User Story 1, Edge Cases)
+
+1. Set the seeded `ProductIntegration.status` (or `Product.status`) to suspended.
+2. Send a request with an otherwise-valid token.
+3. **Expected**: `403 PRODUCT_INTEGRATION_SUSPENDED` — distinguishable from Scenario 2's `401`.
+
+## Scenario 4 — unknown field rejects the whole request (User Story 1)
+
+1. Send an otherwise-valid request body with one extra, undefined field.
+2. **Expected**: `400 VALIDATION_ERROR` — the request is rejected outright, not partially
+   processed with the extra field ignored.
+
+## Scenario 5 — credential rotation is zero-downtime (User Story 2)
+
+1. Rotate the seeded integration's credential (admin endpoint) — note both old and new secrets.
+2. Immediately send one request signed with the OLD secret and one with the NEW secret.
+3. **Expected**: both succeed (SC-003).
+4. Wait past the transition window (or adjust it down for the test), then retry with the OLD
+   secret.
+5. **Expected**: `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL` — old credential now rejected.
+
+## Scenario 6 — revocation takes effect immediately (User Story 2)
+
+1. Revoke the seeded integration's credential (admin endpoint).
+2. Immediately send a request signed with that credential.
+3. **Expected**: `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL` on the very next request (SC-002); an
+   `AuditLog` row records the revocation itself as an admin action.
+
+## Scenario 7 — audit trail is retrievable (User Story 2)
+
+1. After Scenarios 1-6 above, call the admin "get audit trail" endpoint for the seeded
+   integration.
+2. **Expected**: a chronological list including the success from Scenario 1 and the failures from
+   Scenarios 2-4, each without any raw credential value present anywhere in the response.
+
+## Scenario 8 — rate limiting throttles one integration/user without affecting others (User Story 3)
+
+1. Seed two separate product integrations, A and B.
+2. Send requests from integration A past its configured `rateLimitPerMinute`.
+3. **Expected**: later requests from A in the burst receive `429 RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED`; concurrent
+   requests from integration B continue succeeding normally.
+4. Within integration A, send requests as two different `userId`s, one past
+   `rateLimitPerUserPerMinute` and one under it.
+5. **Expected**: the over-limit user is throttled; the other user's requests continue succeeding.
+
+## What "done" looks like
+
+All eight scenarios pass, and together they demonstrate every functional requirement and success
+criterion in `spec.md` without needing to read the plugin/module implementation to know what
+"correct" means.

+# Phase 0 Research: SaaS Product Integration & Inbound Request Trust
+
+## Decision: Signed short-lived token format
+
+- **Decision**: HMAC-SHA256-signed token, structured as a compact JWT
+  (`header.payload.signature`), signed with the `ProductIntegration`'s own per-product secret
+  (never a shared/global secret). Payload carries `productId` (SupportHub's internal id, not the
+  raw external one), `tenantId`, `userId`, `iat`, `exp` (short — target 60s, generous enough for
+  clock skew tolerance below), and a `jti` (nonce) for replay detection.
+- **Rationale**: User picked "signed short-lived tokens" over OAuth2/mTLS for this plan (lowest
+  operational overhead, no token-issuance service to build, straightforward per-product secret
+  rotation). JWT is chosen over a bespoke signed-string format purely because Node's ecosystem
+  already has well-reviewed JWT libraries and it's a format integrating teams will recognize —
+  but the *validation* logic is fully custom (see below), it doesn't defer trust decisions to a
+  JWT library's defaults.
+- **Alternatives considered**: OAuth2 client-credentials (rejected per user decision — adds a
+  token-issuance/introspection surface this plan doesn't need); mTLS (rejected — heavier
+  operationally, reserved as a future per-integration option since `ProductIntegration
+  .authMechanism` is already a free-text field in docs/06, not an enum, so nothing here blocks
+  adding mTLS support to a specific high-trust integration later without a schema change).
+
+## Decision: Replay resistance
+
+- **Decision**: Reject a token whose `jti` has been seen before within its own validity window.
+  Track seen `jti`s in Redis (already an infrastructure dependency — `infrastructure/cache`) with
+  a TTL matching the token's `exp`, so the tracking set never grows unbounded.
+- **Rationale**: A 60-second token expiry alone bounds the replay window but doesn't close it — a
+  captured token is still valid for up to 60s. `jti`-tracking closes it to "exactly once."
+- **Alternatives considered**: Expiry-only (no `jti` tracking) — rejected, doesn't satisfy
+  spec.md's Edge Cases requirement that a replayed token "MUST be rejected," only that it
+  eventually stops being accepted.
+
+## Decision: Clock skew tolerance
+
+- **Decision**: Accept a token up to 5 seconds past its `exp` and up to 5 seconds before its `iat`
+  (both configurable, not hardcoded — Constitution Principle II).
+- **Rationale**: Small enough that it doesn't meaningfully widen the replay window beyond what
+  `jti` tracking already closes, generous enough to absorb realistic NTP drift between two
+  independently-operated systems.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Zero tolerance — rejected as operationally fragile; large tolerance
+  (e.g. 60s) — rejected as unnecessarily widening the token's effective lifetime.
+
+## Decision: Credential rotation mechanism
+
+- **Decision**: `ProductIntegration` gains a nullable `previousCredentialRef` and
+  `previousCredentialExpiresAt` alongside the existing `credentialRef`. On rotation: the current
+  `credentialRef` moves to `previousCredentialRef` with `previousCredentialExpiresAt` set to
+  "now + transition window," and a new `credentialRef` is issued. Token validation tries the
+  current secret first, then the previous one (if `previousCredentialExpiresAt` hasn't passed).
+- **Rationale**: This is what makes rotation zero-downtime (SC-003) without a distributed
+  "atomic cutover" — both secrets are simultaneously valid for a bounded window, which directly
+  satisfies Constitution Principle VII's concurrency requirement without inventing new
+  coordination infrastructure.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Versioned credential list (unbounded history) — rejected as more
+  than the spec requires (only *one* prior credential needs to remain valid, per spec.md User
+  Story 2's "old and new credential both valid during a transition window").
+
+## Decision: Credential storage (no secret manager exists yet in this repo)
+
+- **Decision**: `docs/06-database-schema.md` describes `credentialRef` as "a pointer into secret
+  manager, never the raw secret" — but no secret-manager integration exists anywhere in this
+  codebase or `docs/07-backend-architecture.md`'s stack today, and HMAC signature verification
+  needs the actual secret value at verify time, not just a hash of it (unlike a password, which
+  only ever needs comparison). Pragmatic resolution for this feature: `credentialRef` /
+  `previousCredentialRef` store the secret **encrypted at rest** with AES-256-GCM, using a new
+  required env var `INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (32-byte key, added to
+  `src/config/env.ts`'s Zod schema). The plaintext secret is generated once at registration/
+  rotation time, returned to the admin caller exactly once (never retrievable again — matches
+  spec.md's credential lifecycle), and only its ciphertext is persisted. Decryption happens
+  in-process, only inside the token-verification path.
+- **Rationale**: This satisfies the spirit of "never the raw secret in the database" (plaintext
+  is never at rest) without inventing a dependency on an external secret-manager service this
+  repo doesn't have. It's flagged here explicitly as a placeholder: if/when a real secret manager
+  (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.) is adopted, `credentialRef` becomes a genuine external
+  reference and this encryption layer is removed — that migration is out of scope for this
+  feature and should be called out as a follow-up, not silently implied as "done."
+- **Alternatives considered**: Storing the secret in plaintext — rejected outright, directly
+  contradicts docs/06 and the constitution's secrets-handling governance. Requiring an actual
+  secret-manager integration before this feature can ship — rejected as disproportionate scope
+  for what Phase 2 needs; no other part of the roadmap currently requires one either.
+
+## Decision: Rate limiting design (per-integration and per-user)
+
+- **Decision**: Apply `@fastify/rate-limit` at the route level (not the single global registration
+  currently in `rate-limit.plugin.ts`) for the inbound SaaS-facing route, with a custom
+  `keyGenerator` returning `` `integration:${productIntegrationId}` `` for the integration-level
+  limit and a second, stricter per-route rate-limit instance keyed by
+  `` `integration:${productIntegrationId}:user:${externalUserId}` `` for the per-user limit. Both
+  read their max/window from `ProductIntegration`-linked configuration (new fields, see
+  data-model.md), not a hardcoded value.
+- **Rationale**: The existing global `rate-limit.plugin.ts` registration (`max: 1000, timeWindow:
+  '1 minute'`, ungated) stays as a blanket floor for the whole API; it doesn't get removed, just
+  supplemented — this feature's per-integration/per-user limits are strictly tighter and specific
+  to the inbound SaaS route. `keyGenerator` needs the validated `productIntegrationId`/
+  `externalUserId`, so the rate-limit check runs in the route's handler chain *after* the
+  `product-integration-auth` plugin's preHandler populates `request.reqContext`.
+- **Alternatives considered**: A single global per-IP limit — rejected, doesn't satisfy FR-009's
+  "per integration and independently per end user" requirement; a product's shared outbound IP
+  would incorrectly throttle every user behind it together.
+
+## Decision: Unknown-field rejection (FR-008)
+
+- **Decision**: The inbound Zod schema uses `.strict()` (rejects any key not explicitly defined),
+  not the Zod default of silently stripping unknown keys.
+- **Rationale**: FR-008 requires the *entire request* rejected on an unknown field, not a
+  best-effort parse — `.strict()` is exactly this behavior in Zod; the default `.parse()`
+  behavior (strip unknown keys silently) would violate FR-008.
+- **Alternatives considered**: None — this is a direct, unambiguous mapping from requirement to
+  Zod API.
+
+## Decision: Error response shape without leaking registration status (FR-010)
+
+- **Decision**: "Unregistered product" and "invalid credential for a registered product" return
+  the *same* generic `401 INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL` response body and status code. "Product
+  suspended" returns a distinguishable `403 PRODUCT_INTEGRATION_SUSPENDED` (this one is safe to
+  distinguish — a suspended product's own registered caller already knows it's registered).
+  "Out-of-scope request" (valid credential, but tenant/user outside `allowedScope`) returns
+  `403 REQUEST_OUT_OF_SCOPE`.
+- **Rationale**: This satisfies both FR-010 requirements at once: distinguishable where doing so
+  is safe (suspended vs. scope), identical where distinguishing would leak whether an arbitrary
+  product ID is registered at all (invalid credential vs. unregistered product).
+- **Alternatives considered**: Fully distinguishing all four cases — rejected, directly
+  contradicts FR-010's "without leaking whether an unregistered product ID exists."
+
+## Decision: Reconciling the placeholder Prisma schema
+
+- **Decision**: The current `Product` model in `prisma/schema.prisma` (`code`, `name`,
+  `description`, `status: ProductStatus` enum) is starter-template scaffolding, not the real
+  domain model — it doesn't match `docs/06-database-schema.md`'s `Product` shape at all
+  (`externalProductId`, `supportEnabled`, `status: String`). This feature replaces it with the
+  doc 06 shape. New models (`ProductIntegration`, `CustomerReference`) use `cuid()` ids matching
+  doc 06 exactly. The existing `Category`, `User`, and `AuditLog` placeholder models are left
+  alone (out of scope for this feature — `Category`'s real shape belongs to whichever future
+  feature builds the catalog domain properly; `User`/`AuditLog` aren't touched by this feature's
+  requirements beyond *reusing* `AuditLog` for FR-007).
+- **Rationale**: Phase 2 is explicitly where `docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md` places
+  "Product/ProductIntegration models" — this is the correct feature to fix `Product`, not a
+  scope-creep addition. Leaving `Category`/`User` alone keeps the change bounded to what this
+  feature actually needs.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Adding `ProductIntegration` pointing at the old placeholder
+  `Product` shape and deferring the `Product` fix — rejected, would mean building
+  `ProductIntegration.product` against a model with no `externalProductId` to validate inbound
+  requests against, defeating the feature's own purpose.
+
+## Decision: Aligning `AuditLog` to doc 06's shape (discovered during implementation)
+
+- **Decision**: The placeholder `AuditLog` model (`userId`, `action`, `resource`, `payload`) is
+  replaced with `docs/06-database-schema.md`'s real shape (`actor`, `actorType`, `action`,
+  `entityType`, `entityId`, `oldValue`, `newValue`, `reason`, `metadata`, `createdAt`) — dropping
+  its foreign key to `User`. `actor` becomes a plain string identifier (a `ProductIntegration.id`,
+  an agent id, `"system"`, etc.), not a relation.
+- **Rationale**: Originally planned to leave `AuditLog` untouched and just "reuse" it (see the
+  "Where `ProductIntegration` lifecycle endpoints live" decision below and plan.md's Constitution
+  Check), but the placeholder shape has no `entityType`/`entityId`/`reason` fields at all — FR-007
+  ("record which integration/credential was involved," "reason: invalid_credential | suspended |
+  ...") literally cannot be satisfied by the old shape. This isn't scope creep into unrelated
+  future work — it's a direct, minimal prerequisite for this feature's own FR-007, discovered
+  while wiring up data-model.md's `AuditLog` field mapping against the real schema. The dropped
+  `User` relation also better matches Constitution Principle I: an audit `actor` shouldn't require
+  a local `User` row to exist, since most actors (product integrations, external users via
+  `externalUserId`, "ai") never have one.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Keep the placeholder shape and encode `entityType`/`entityId`/
+  `reason` inside the existing free-text `resource` field and `payload` JSON — rejected as exactly
+  the kind of unstructured workaround Constitution Principle VI's audit requirement exists to
+  prevent; it would make audit rows unqueryable by entity without parsing `payload` first.
+
+## Decision: Where `ProductIntegration` lifecycle endpoints live
+
+- **Decision**: Extend the existing `src/modules/catalog/products/` module (already scaffolded
+  with controller/service/repository/routes/schema/mapper/types) with integration lifecycle
+  operations, rather than creating a new top-level module.
+- **Rationale**: `docs/07-backend-architecture.md`'s module list has no separate
+  "product-integrations" module; `docs/06-database-schema.md` groups `ProductIntegration` under
+  the same "Domain: Integration / Catalog" heading as `Product`, and it's a 1:1 relation.
+- **Alternatives considered**: A new `src/modules/platform/integrations/` addition — rejected;
+  that module already exists for outbound webhook delivery (docs/11 gap A2, a different, future
+  concern), and conflating inbound-trust management with outbound-webhook delivery in one module
+  would blur a module boundary the constitution requires to stay clear (Principle III).

+# Feature Specification: SaaS Product Integration & Inbound Request Trust
+
+**Feature Branch**: `002-saas-integration`
+
+**Created**: 2026-08-21
+
+**Status**: Draft
+
+**Input**: User description: "Phase 2 of docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md: SaaS integration —
+Product/ProductIntegration models, credential validation, service-to-service auth (signed
+tokens/OAuth2/mTLS), inbound request contract, rate limiting. Per docs/02-integration-and-security.md."
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Every inbound request is authenticated and trusted before anything happens (Priority: P1)
+
+A registered SaaS product's backend calls SupportHub on a customer's behalf (e.g., a customer
+clicked "Help" inside the product). SupportHub validates the calling product's identity, the
+credential presented, the product's current status, and the accompanying user/tenant context
+against that product's registered integration and its allowed scope — before any downstream
+processing occurs. A request from an unregistered product, an invalid/expired/revoked
+credential, a suspended product, or context outside the credential's scope is rejected outright.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the trust boundary everything else in the system depends on.
+Without it, SupportHub cannot safely accept "this is customer X of tenant Y using product Z" as
+true, which every later phase (ticketing, AI, orchestration) relies on completely.
+
+**Independent Test**: Send a request with a valid, correctly-scoped credential and confirm it is
+accepted and its product/tenant/user context is trusted; send the same request with an invalid,
+expired, or wrong-product credential and confirm it is rejected with no side effects.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a product has a registered, active integration with a valid credential, **When** it
+   sends a request with that credential and in-scope context, **Then** the request is accepted
+   and the product/tenant/user identity it carries is treated as trusted.
+2. **Given** a request presents a credential that doesn't match any registered integration,
+   **When** SupportHub validates it, **Then** the request is rejected and no ticket, session, or
+   other record is created.
+3. **Given** a product's integration status is "suspended," **When** a request arrives for that
+   product, **Then** it is rejected with a reason distinguishable from "invalid credential" (so
+   the calling product can tell the difference between "you're not registered" and "you're
+   registered but temporarily disabled").
+4. **Given** a request includes fields not defined in the inbound contract, **When** it is
+   validated, **Then** the entire request is rejected rather than the unknown fields being
+   silently ignored.
+5. **Given** a request's tenant/user context doesn't fall within the presented credential's
+   allowed scope, **When** it is validated, **Then** the request is rejected even though the
+   credential itself is valid.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - An admin can onboard, rotate, and revoke a product's integration credential (Priority: P2)
+
+An operator/admin registers a new SaaS product as a SupportHub integration client, issuing it a
+credential scoped to that product alone. Later, the admin can rotate that credential (issue a new
+one while the old one keeps working for a defined transition window) or revoke it immediately
+(e.g., on suspected compromise), without any SupportHub downtime or a deploy.
+
+**Why this priority**: Without this, User Story 1 has nothing to validate against, and there's no
+way to safely respond to a leaked credential — but it's second because a single seeded
+integration is enough to prove Story 1 works end to end before onboarding/rotation tooling exists.
+
+**Independent Test**: Register a new product integration and confirm a request using its
+credential is accepted (Story 1); rotate the credential and confirm both old and new credentials
+work during the transition, then only the new one after; revoke a credential and confirm the very
+next request using it is rejected.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an admin registers a new product integration, **When** they issue its credential,
+   **Then** that credential is scoped to that product alone — it is never valid for any other
+   product's requests.
+2. **Given** an active integration, **When** an admin rotates its credential, **Then** requests
+   using either the old or new credential succeed until the transition window ends, after which
+   only the new one works.
+3. **Given** an active integration, **When** an admin revokes its credential, **Then** the next
+   request using that credential is rejected, and the revocation is recorded in the audit trail.
+4. **Given** any authentication attempt (success or failure) against any integration, **When** it
+   occurs, **Then** it is recorded in an audit trail an admin can review — including which
+   integration was involved and the outcome.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - No single product integration or end user can overwhelm the system (Priority: P3)
+
+Inbound requests are rate-limited both per product integration and per end user within that
+integration, using limits an admin can change without a deploy. A product (or a single customer
+within it) sending requests far beyond its configured limit is throttled; other integrations and
+users are unaffected.
+
+**Why this priority**: Important for production resilience and fairness across multiple
+integrated products, but the system is meaningfully useful (and Stories 1-2 fully testable)
+without it — this hardens an already-working trust boundary rather than enabling new behavior.
+
+**Independent Test**: Send requests from one integration far beyond its configured rate limit and
+confirm later requests in the burst are throttled while a concurrent, well-behaved second
+integration's requests continue to succeed normally.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an integration has a configured rate limit, **When** it is exceeded within the
+   configured window, **Then** further requests from that integration are throttled until the
+   window resets.
+2. **Given** two different end users under the same integration, **When** one exceeds their
+   per-user limit, **Then** the other user's requests continue to succeed normally.
+3. **Given** an admin changes a rate limit value, **When** the change is saved, **Then** it takes
+   effect without requiring a deploy or restart.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when a credential is presented after its rotation transition window has fully
+  elapsed? It MUST be treated identically to an already-revoked credential (rejected).
+- What happens when the inbound request's signature/token appears valid but is a replay of a
+  previously-used one (e.g., a captured and resent signed token)? It MUST be rejected — accepted
+  service-to-service auth mechanisms must be replay-resistant (short-lived tokens with a
+  nonce/timestamp check, or equivalent).
+- What happens when a product has no integration configured at all (never registered)? Requests
+  MUST be rejected the same way as an invalid credential, without leaking whether the product ID
+  itself is known to SupportHub.
+- What happens when clock skew between the calling product and SupportHub affects a
+  time-bound signed token's validity window? A small, explicitly bounded tolerance is allowed;
+  anything beyond it is rejected.
+- What happens when an integration is rotated or revoked while a request is mid-flight? The
+  in-flight request's outcome is decided by validation at the moment it's checked — no partial
+  application, no race that lets a revoked credential's request complete after revocation is
+  recorded.
+- What happens when the same underlying customer problem is submitted twice in quick succession
+  (e.g., the calling product's own client retried after a timeout)? Out of scope for this
+  feature — de-duplicating retried problem reports into a single ticket depends on the `Ticket`
+  entity, which doesn't exist until the ticketing feature. This feature's contract MUST still
+  reserve a field for an idempotency key so that later feature can use it without a contract
+  change (see Assumptions).
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: The system MUST require every SaaS product that wants support to be registered as
+  a distinct integration, each with its own credential — never shared across products.
+- **FR-002**: The system MUST validate, on every inbound request before any downstream
+  processing: the calling product's identity, the presented credential, the product's current
+  status (active/suspended/deprecated), the accompanying user/tenant context, and the
+  credential's allowed scope.
+- **FR-003**: The system MUST reject a request whose product, tenant, or user values are not
+  corroborated by the validated integration and its scope — a caller-supplied ID is never trusted
+  by itself.
+- **FR-004**: The system MUST support at least one production-appropriate, replay-resistant
+  service-to-service authentication mechanism (signed short-lived scoped tokens, OAuth2
+  client-credentials, or mTLS), selectable per integration.
+- **FR-005**: The system MUST support rotating an integration's credential with a defined
+  transition window in which both the old and new credential are valid, with zero downtime.
+- **FR-006**: The system MUST support revoking an integration's credential with immediate effect
+  on the next request.
+- **FR-007**: The system MUST audit every authentication attempt (success and failure), recording
+  which integration/credential was involved, without ever recording the raw credential value
+  itself.
+- **FR-008**: The system MUST reject any inbound request containing fields outside the defined
+  contract, rather than silently accepting or ignoring them.
+- **FR-009**: The system MUST rate-limit inbound requests per integration and independently per
+  end user within an integration, with limit values configurable without a deploy.
+- **FR-010**: The system MUST distinguish, in its rejection response, between "unregistered/
+  invalid credential," "suspended product," and "out-of-scope request" where doing so does not
+  leak whether an unregistered product ID exists in the system.
+- **FR-011**: The system MUST let an admin change an integration's status (active/suspended/
+  deprecated) and have that change take effect on the very next request, without a deploy.
+- **FR-012**: The inbound request contract MUST include an optional idempotency-key field,
+  reserved for the ticketing feature's future use, even though this feature does not implement
+  deduplication against it.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Product Integration**: One SaaS product's registration with SupportHub — its identity,
+  current status, credential reference, chosen authentication mechanism, allowed scope, and
+  rotation/revocation timestamps. Exactly one per product; never shared.
+- **Customer Reference**: The external user/tenant identifiers a validated request carries,
+  scoped to the Product Integration that vouched for them — a reference into the SaaS's own
+  identity system, never a second copy of it (per Constitution Principle I).
+- **Authentication Audit Event**: A record of one authentication attempt (success or failure)
+  against a Product Integration, including outcome and timestamp, but never the raw credential.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: 100% of inbound requests presenting an invalid, unregistered, expired, or
+  out-of-scope credential are rejected before any downstream record is created.
+- **SC-002**: Revoking a credential stops it from being accepted on the very next request after
+  revocation — no propagation delay beyond normal request processing.
+- **SC-003**: Rotating a credential causes zero failed requests for a well-behaved caller using
+  either the old or new credential during the transition window.
+- **SC-004**: An admin can retrieve a complete authentication audit trail (success and failure)
+  for any given integration on demand.
+- **SC-005**: An integration or user sending requests at 10x its configured rate limit is
+  measurably throttled while unrelated integrations/users see no change in their own success
+  rate.
+- **SC-006**: Onboarding a new SaaS product as an integration requires no code change or
+  deploy — it is a configuration/data action only.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- This feature covers the trust boundary and its own admin/audit surface only. It does not
+  implement ticket creation, the AI agent, or any business logic beyond validating and scoping an
+  inbound request — those are later features per the roadmap (Phases 3-5+).
+- The idempotency key reserved in FR-012 is deliberately not enforced here (no `Ticket` entity
+  exists yet to deduplicate against) — this is a forward-compatibility placeholder so the
+  ticketing feature doesn't need a breaking contract change later, per the gap noted in
+  `docs/11-architect-additions-gaps-and-recommendations.md` §A1.
+- "Rate limiting... configurable without a deploy" follows Constitution Principle II
+  (configuration over hardcoding) — exact default limit values are a
+  `REQUIRES BUSINESS CONFIRMATION` item per `docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md`, not invented
+  here.
+- Choice of authentication mechanism (signed tokens vs. OAuth2 vs. mTLS) per integration, and the
+  credential rotation transition-window length, are technical decisions deferred to
+  `/speckit-plan` — this spec only requires that *a* production-appropriate, replay-resistant
+  mechanism exists and that rotation/revocation behave as described.

+# Tasks: SaaS Product Integration & Inbound Request Trust
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `specs/002-saas-integration/`
+
+**Prerequisites**: [plan.md](./plan.md), [spec.md](./spec.md), [research.md](./research.md),
+[data-model.md](./data-model.md), [contracts/inbound-request-contract.md](./contracts/inbound-request-contract.md),
+[quickstart.md](./quickstart.md)
+
+**Tests**: Not explicitly requested as TDD in spec.md, but this feature is a security boundary —
+unit tests for the token/scope/replay logic and integration tests for the full preHandler are
+included as first-class tasks (not optional), since "MUST reject" requirements are exactly what
+regressions silently break.
+
+**Organization**: Tasks are grouped by user story (US1 = P1 authenticate/validate, US2 = P2
+admin lifecycle, US3 = P3 rate limiting).
+
+## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
+
+All file paths are relative to `supporthub-api/` (repo root).
+
+## Path Conventions
+
+Single project. Prisma schema at `prisma/schema.prisma`; new plugin under `src/plugins/`;
+extended module under `src/modules/catalog/products/`; tests under `tests/unit/` and
+`tests/integration/`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Setup
+
+- [X] T001 Add `INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (32-byte, required) to the Zod schema in
+      `src/config/env.ts`, and add it to `.env.example`, `.env.development`, `.env.test`
+- [X] T002 [P] Add `IdempotencyKey`-shaped Zod primitive and shared integration-error codes
+      (`INVALID_INTEGRATION_CREDENTIAL`, `PRODUCT_INTEGRATION_SUSPENDED`, `REQUEST_OUT_OF_SCOPE`)
+      to `src/common/constants/app.constants.ts` (or a new `src/common/constants/integration.constants.ts`)
+      for reuse by both the plugin and the module
+
+**Checkpoint**: Config and shared constants exist for everything below to reference.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Foundational (Blocking Prerequisites)
+
+**Purpose**: The schema and low-level crypto/verification primitives every user story depends on.
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL**: No user-story stage work can begin until this phase is complete.
+
+- [X] T003 Update `prisma/schema.prisma`: replace the placeholder `Product` model with the
+      doc-06-aligned shape (`externalProductId`, `supportEnabled`, `status: String`,
+      `integration ProductIntegration?` relation) per `data-model.md`; keep `Category`, `User`,
+      `AuditLog` untouched (research.md "Reconciling the placeholder Prisma schema")
+- [X] T004 Add `ProductIntegration` model to `prisma/schema.prisma` per `data-model.md`
+      (depends on T003)
+- [X] T005 [P] Add `CustomerReference` model to `prisma/schema.prisma` per `data-model.md`
+      (depends on T003)
+- [X] T006 Update `src/modules/catalog/products/schema/products.schema.ts`'s
+      `productQuerySchema` to query by `externalProductId` instead of the now-removed `code`
+      field (depends on T003)
+- [X] T007 Run `npm run prisma:generate` and create the migration (`npm run prisma:migrate`) for
+      T003-T005 (depends on T004, T005, T006)
+- [X] T008 [P] Implement the AES-256-GCM encrypt/decrypt helpers (research.md "Credential
+      storage") in `src/modules/catalog/products/mapper/credential.crypto.ts` — pure functions,
+      no Prisma/Fastify dependency, so they're independently unit-testable
+- [X] T009 [P] Implement signed-token issue/verify helpers (HMAC-SHA256 JWT: `productId`,
+      `tenantId`, `userId`, `iat`, `exp`, `jti`) in
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/mapper/integration-token.ts` (depends on T008 for how the
+      per-integration secret is obtained, but the signing/verification logic itself has no
+      Prisma dependency)
+- [X] T010 [P] Implement the replay-check helper (`hasSeenJti` / `markJtiSeen`, TTL-bound) in
+      `src/infrastructure/cache/` using the existing `cacheService` abstraction
+      (`src/infrastructure/cache/cache.service.ts`)
+
+**Checkpoint**: Schema migrated; crypto/token/replay primitives exist and are independently unit
+tested (see Phase 3). User Story 1's plugin can now be wired up.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 1 - Every inbound request is authenticated and trusted before anything happens (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: A `product-integration-auth` Fastify plugin validates every inbound request through the
+9-step order in `contracts/inbound-request-contract.md`, populating `request.reqContext` only on
+full success, and audit-logging every attempt.
+
+**Independent Test**: Quickstart Scenarios 1-4 (valid request accepted; invalid/unregistered
+credential rejected identically; suspended product distinguishably rejected; unknown field
+rejects the whole request).
+
+### Tests for User Story 1
+
+- [X] T011 [P] [US1] Unit tests for `credential.crypto.ts` (encrypt/decrypt round-trip, wrong key
+      fails) in `tests/unit/products/credential-crypto.test.ts`
+- [X] T012 [P] [US1] Unit tests for `integration-token.ts` (valid token verifies; tampered
+      signature rejected; expired token rejected; clock-skew tolerance boundary) in
+      `tests/unit/products/integration-token.test.ts`
+- [X] T013 [P] [US1] Integration test for the full preHandler covering Quickstart Scenarios 1-4
+      against a real Postgres/Redis in `tests/integration/product-integration-auth.test.ts`
+
+### Implementation for User Story 1
+
+- [X] T014 [US1] Add `ProductIntegrationsRepository` (Prisma-backed: find by product, find
+      active by internal id, update rotation/revocation fields) in
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/repository/product-integrations.repository.ts` (depends on
+      T007)
+- [X] T015 [US1] Add `CustomerReferencesRepository` (find-or-create by
+      `externalUserId`+`externalTenantId`) in
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/repository/customer-references.repository.ts` (depends on
+      T007)
+- [X] T016 [US1] Define the strict inbound request Zod schema (`.strict()`, per
+      `data-model.md`'s Inbound Request Contract table, including the reserved `idempotencyKey`)
+      in `src/modules/catalog/products/schema/inbound-request.schema.ts` (depends on T002)
+- [X] T017 [US1] Implement `product-integration-auth.plugin.ts` in `src/plugins/`: runs the
+      9-step validation order from `contracts/inbound-request-contract.md`, using T009/T010/T014
+      /T015/T016, populating `request.reqContext` (`productId`, `customerId`, `tenantId`,
+      `actorType: CUSTOMER`, `actorId`) only after every step passes (depends on T014, T015,
+      T016)
+- [X] T018 [US1] Write one `AuditLog` row per attempt (success or every failure reason) inside
+      the plugin, per the `AuditLog` field mapping in `data-model.md` — never including the raw
+      token/credential (depends on T017)
+- [X] T019 [US1] Register `product-integration-auth.plugin.ts` in
+      `src/bootstrap/plugins.bootstrap.ts`, scoped only to the inbound SaaS-facing route (not
+      global) (depends on T017)
+- [X] T020 [US1] Run Quickstart Scenarios 1-4 locally against a seeded integration and confirm
+      all four pass
+
+**Checkpoint**: User Story 1 is fully functional and independently testable — the trust boundary
+exists and correctly accepts/rejects/distinguishes every case in scope.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 - An admin can onboard, rotate, and revoke a product's integration credential (Priority: P2)
+
+**Goal**: Admin endpoints to register/rotate/revoke a `ProductIntegration` and retrieve its audit
+trail, reusing T008/T014 from Phase 2/3.
+
+**Independent Test**: Quickstart Scenarios 5-7 (rotation is zero-downtime, revocation is
+immediate, audit trail is retrievable).
+
+### Tests for User Story 2
+
+- [X] T021 [P] [US2] Integration tests for register/rotate/revoke/get-audit-trail endpoints in
+      `tests/integration/product-integrations-admin.test.ts`, covering Quickstart Scenarios 5-7
+
+### Implementation for User Story 2
+
+- [X] T022 [US2] Add `ProductIntegrationsService` methods (`register`, `rotate`, `revoke`,
+      `updateStatus`, `getAuditTrail`) in
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/service/product-integrations.service.ts` — `register`/
+      `rotate` generate a new secret, encrypt it (T008) before persisting, and return the
+      plaintext secret in the response exactly once (depends on T014)
+- [X] T023 [US2] Add `ProductIntegrationsController` with admin-authenticated handlers
+      (register/rotate/revoke/updateStatus/getAuditTrail) in
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/controller/product-integrations.controller.ts`, gated by the
+      existing `fastify.authenticate` (human/admin JWT, `auth.plugin.ts`) — not the
+      product-integration plugin from Phase 3 (depends on T022)
+- [X] T024 [US2] Add routes (`POST /admin/products/:id/integration`, `POST
+      /admin/products/:id/integration/rotate`, `POST /admin/products/:id/integration/revoke`,
+      `PATCH /admin/products/:id/integration/status`, `GET
+      /admin/products/:id/integration/audit-trail`) in
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/routes/product-integrations.routes.ts`, registered from
+      `src/modules/catalog/products/routes/index.ts` (depends on T023)
+- [X] T025 [US2] Run Quickstart Scenarios 5-7 locally and confirm all three pass
+
+**Checkpoint**: Both Stories 1 and 2 work together — an admin can onboard an integration and User
+Story 1's plugin correctly validates against whatever the admin configured.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: User Story 3 - No single product integration or end user can overwhelm the system (Priority: P3)
+
+**Goal**: Per-integration and per-user rate limiting on the inbound route, using
+`ProductIntegration.rateLimitPerMinute`/`rateLimitPerUserPerMinute`.
+
+**Independent Test**: Quickstart Scenario 8.
+
+### Implementation for User Story 3
+
+- [X] T026 [US3] Add a per-route `@fastify/rate-limit` registration (integration-level
+      `keyGenerator`) plus a second, stricter one (user-level `keyGenerator`) on the inbound
+      route, reading limits from `request.reqContext`-resolved `ProductIntegration` fields, in
+      `src/plugins/rate-limit.plugin.ts` (keep the existing global registration untouched) —
+      depends on T017 populating `reqContext` before the rate-limit check runs
+- [X] T027 [P] [US3] Integration test covering Quickstart Scenario 8 (integration-level and
+      user-level throttling, unrelated integration/user unaffected) in
+      `tests/integration/inbound-rate-limit.test.ts`
+- [X] T028 [US3] Run Quickstart Scenario 8 locally and confirm it passes
+
+**Checkpoint**: All three user stories work independently and together.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+- [X] T029 [P] Add a short "Implemented in 002-saas-integration" note to
+      `specs/002-saas-integration/checklists/requirements.md` Notes once all scenarios pass
+      (`docs/06-database-schema.md` itself is the source spec and is intentionally not edited)
+- [X] T030 [P] Add a "SaaS Integration" section to `README.md` describing the inbound contract at
+      a high level and linking to `specs/002-saas-integration/quickstart.md`
+- [X] T031 Run `npx tsx scripts/check-architecture.ts` and `npm run lint`/`npm run typecheck` to
+      confirm the new module/plugin code respects existing module-boundary rules
+- [X] T032 Full regression: `npm run test:unit` (which currently runs the whole suite — see
+      `specs/001-ci-pipeline/checklists/requirements.md` implementation notes) to confirm nothing
+      in catalog/products or the plugin chain broke existing tests
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup — BLOCKS all user stories (schema + crypto/token/
+  replay primitives are shared by every story)
+- **User Story 1 (Phase 3)**: Depends on Foundational — no dependency on US2/US3
+- **User Story 2 (Phase 4)**: Depends on Foundational (T014) — independent of US1's plugin, but
+  practically sequenced after US1 so there's something to validate against when testing rotation
+- **User Story 3 (Phase 5)**: Depends on US1's `reqContext` population (T017) — genuinely not
+  implementable before US1, since rate-limit keys need the validated integration/user identity
+- **Polish (Phase 6)**: Depends on all three user stories
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- T001/T002 (Setup)
+- T005 alongside T004 (different models, same file — coordinate to avoid edit conflicts even
+  though marked [P])
+- T008/T009/T010 (independent primitives)
+- T011/T012/T013 (independent test files) once their subjects exist
+- T021 can be written in parallel with Phase 3's later tasks once T014 exists
+- T029/T030 in Polish
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
+
+1. Setup + Foundational (T001-T010)
+2. User Story 1 (T011-T020)
+3. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Quickstart Scenarios 1-4 pass — the trust boundary itself is complete
+   and demoable even before admin tooling or rate limiting exist (a seeded integration is enough)
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Setup + Foundational → schema migrated, primitives tested
+2. Add User Story 1 → inbound requests are authenticated (MVP)
+3. Add User Story 2 → integrations can be onboarded/rotated/revoked without touching the DB by
+   hand
+4. Add User Story 3 → abuse-resistant
+5. Polish → docs and full regression

+# Specification Quality Checklist: Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
+**Created**: 2026-09-02
+**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)
+
+## Content Quality
+
+- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
+- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+- [x] All mandatory sections completed
+
+## Requirement Completeness
+
+- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+- [x] Success criteria are measurable
+- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
+- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+- [x] Edge cases are identified
+- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
+- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified
+
+## Feature Readiness
+
+- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
+- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
+- [x] No implementation details leak into specification
+
+## Notes
+
+- Scope is deliberately Phase 5 only (per docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md): ticket/problem
+  creation, messages, attachments, lifecycle state machine. Investigation/root cause/solution/
+  resolution (Phase 9) and AI diagnosis (Phase 4) are explicitly out of scope — see Assumptions.
+- Recurring-problem matching is intentionally left to an explicit caller-supplied reference for
+  this feature; real fuzzy/semantic matching is deferred to the future AI-support feature.
+- Malware-scanner choice and RLS adoption are left to `/speckit-plan` / business confirmation
+  respectively, not decided here.
+- All items pass; no revision iterations were needed.
+
+## Implementation notes (added during /speckit-implement)
+
+- **Found and fixed a real cross-product ticket-code collision bug**: `deriveProductCode`
+  truncates to 4 alphabetic characters, so different products can legitimately derive the same
+  prefix (e.g. every test product in this repo's own test suite starts with `TEST...`, all
+  deriving `"TEST"`). The initial sequence-counting query (`countForProductAndYear`) was scoped
+  by internal `productId`, but the `code` column's uniqueness is global — two different products
+  sharing a prefix would each independently compute sequence `1` and collide. Fixed by rescoping
+  the count to the actual code prefix (`countForCodePrefix`, `WHERE code LIKE 'PREFIX-YEAR-%'`),
+  which correctly reflects what the unique constraint actually guards. The existing retry-on-
+  conflict loop (`isTicketCodeConflict`, `MAX_CODE_RETRIES`) still exists as the concurrency
+  backstop for the rare race between two concurrent creates computing the same count-based
+  sequence simultaneously — confirmed exercising this retry path for real during the verification
+  run below (visible as caught-and-retried `P2002` errors in the test log, not test failures).
+- **Found and fixed a second-order issue this feature introduces for the existing 002-saas-
+  integration test suite**: three of its integration tests' `afterAll` cleanup deleted
+  `ProductIntegration` then `Product` directly. Now that a successful `/v1/support/requests` call
+  also creates a `Ticket`/`Problem` (this feature), deleting the `Product` first failed on the
+  `problems_productId_fkey` RESTRICT constraint. Fixed by adding `ticketMessage`/`ticket`/
+  `problem` cleanup before the existing steps in
+  `tests/integration/product-integration-auth.test.ts`,
+  `tests/integration/product-integrations-admin.test.ts`, and
+  `tests/integration/inbound-rate-limit.test.ts`.
+- All 9 integration test files (24 tests total, spanning both this feature and the pre-existing
+  002-saas-integration suite) were run and passed against a real Postgres, Redis, and MinIO
+  (temporary Docker containers) — including a real presigned-PUT upload and presigned-GET
+  download round-trip against MinIO, not a mock.

+# Contract: Ticket Lifecycle, Messages & Attachments
+
+## Ticket creation (via the inbound trust boundary)
+
+`POST /v1/support/requests` (002-saas-integration) now, after successful auth:
+
+1. Resolve/create `Problem` (research.md's explicit-reference-only rule).
+2. Atomic create-or-fetch `Ticket` on `(productId, idempotencyKey)` — a retried request returns
+   the same ticket, never a second one (FR-004/SC-002).
+3. Write a `SYSTEM_EVENT` message.
+4. Respond `202` with `{ ticketId, code, status, problemId }`.
+
+**Guarantee**: no request that passes the trust boundary ever completes without a ticket existing
+(FR-001/SC-001) — ticket creation is synchronous within the same request, not queued.
+
+## Ticket status transitions
+
+`PATCH /tickets/:ticketId/status` — body `{ status: <new status>, expectedVersion: <int> }`.
+
+| Step | Failure |
+|---|---|
+| Ticket exists and caller is tenant-authorized | `404` / `403` |
+| `expectedVersion` matches the ticket's current `version` | `409 CONFLICT` (FR-007/SC-007) — caller must re-read and retry |
+| Requested transition is a valid edge from the current status (research.md's table) | `400 INVALID_TRANSITION` |
+
+On success: `status` and `version` (+1) update atomically; a `SYSTEM_EVENT` message records the
+transition.
+
+## Messages
+
+- `POST /tickets/:ticketId/messages` — body `{ type, body }` (`authorRef`/`visibleToCustomer`
+  derived server-side, never accepted as input — FR-008).
+- `GET /tickets/:ticketId/messages` — the caller's scope (customer vs. agent/admin) determines
+  which types are queried; a customer-scoped caller's query never includes
+  `visibleToCustomer: false` rows (FR-009) — enforced in the repository's `WHERE` clause, not by
+  filtering an already-fetched list.
+
+## Attachments
+
+1. `POST /tickets/:ticketId/attachments/upload-url` — body `{ fileName, mimeType, sizeBytes }`,
+   validated against configured limits (FR-012) before a presigned PUT URL is returned, along
+   with the `storageKey` the caller must echo back in step 3. No `TicketAttachment` row exists
+   yet at this point.
+2. Caller PUTs the file directly to the returned URL (file bytes never transit this API).
+3. `POST /tickets/:ticketId/attachments/confirm` — body
+   `{ storageKey, fileName, mimeType, sizeBytes }` (echoing step 1's values) — creates the
+   `TicketAttachment` row (`scanStatus: pending`) and enqueues the scan job on
+   `attachments-queue`. No `attachmentId` exists before this call, so it isn't a path param here.
+4. `GET /tickets/:ticketId/attachments/:attachmentId/download-url` — returns a presigned GET URL
+   only if `scanStatus == 'clean'`; otherwise `409` with the current scan status (FR-013/FR-014).
+
+## Guarantees (callable contract)
+
+1. **Ticket existence is synchronous with trust-boundary success** — never eventually-consistent.
+2. **Idempotency key reuse never creates a second ticket**, regardless of retry count (SC-002).
+3. **No internal-only message type is ever returned to a customer-scoped read**, verified per
+   type (SC-003).
+4. **No attachment file byte ever reaches PostgreSQL** — only `storageKey` metadata (SC-004).
+5. **No attachment is downloadable before `scanStatus: clean`**, every time it's attempted
+   (SC-005).
+6. **A concurrent, stale-version status update is rejected, never silently overwritten** (SC-007).

+# Phase 1 Data Model: Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+All new models use `cuid()` ids, matching the convention established in 002-saas-integration.
+Relations to not-yet-existing models (AI sessions, assignments, SLA runs, escalation events,
+investigations, root causes, solutions — all later phases) are deliberately omitted for now and
+added when those phases introduce the models they'd point to; Prisma can't reference a model that
+doesn't exist.
+
+## Ticket
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| code | String @unique | `<PRODUCT_CODE>-<YEAR>-<SEQUENCE>` (research.md) |
+| productId | String | FK → `Product` |
+| problemId | String | FK → `Problem` |
+| customerId | String | FK → `CustomerReference` (from 002-saas-integration) — the normalized reference |
+| externalUserId | String | Denormalized copy, matches doc 06's literal shape for query convenience without a join |
+| externalTenantId | String | Denormalized copy, same rationale |
+| status | String | One of the 12 states in research.md's state machine; `@default("NEW")` |
+| priority | String | Free-text for now — `PriorityPolicy`-driven derivation is Phase 6/orchestration, not this feature |
+| severity | String | |
+| categoryId | String? | FK → existing `Category` model (already in schema from the original scaffold) |
+| idempotencyKey | String? | Research.md's idempotency mechanism |
+| version | Int @default(1) | Optimistic concurrency (research.md) |
+| createdAt / updatedAt | DateTime | |
+
+**Constraints**: `@@unique([productId, idempotencyKey])` (nullable-excluded — two tickets with
+`idempotencyKey: null` don't conflict). Index on `(productId, status)` and
+`(externalTenantId, externalUserId)` for the query patterns FR-015 requires (tenant/user-scoped
+lookups).
+
+**Status transition rule**: enforced entirely in the service layer against the explicit adjacency
+table in research.md — the column itself has no DB-level CHECK constraint beyond "is a known
+string," since Prisma doesn't model state machines natively and a CHECK constraint would need to
+be duplicated in code anyway for the "attempted from X" half of transition validation.

+| visibleToCustomer | Boolean | Set from the type→visibility map at write time (research.md) — **never** accepted as request input |
+| createdAt | DateTime @default(now()) | |

+query on (FR-009).
+

+| mimeType | String | Validated against an allow-list at upload-confirm time (FR-012) |
+| sizeBytes | Int | Validated against a configured max at upload-confirm time |
+| scanStatus | String | `pending` \| `clean` \| `infected` \| `rejected` (research.md's `MalwareScanner`) |
+| uploadedBy | String | `agentId` or `externalUserId` — same non-FK convention as `TicketMessage.authorRef` |
+| createdAt | DateTime @default(now()) | |
+
+**Download rule**: a presigned GET URL is generated only when `scanStatus == 'clean'` — enforced
+in the service layer before calling `storageService.getPresignedUrl`, never left to the caller to
+check first (FR-013/FR-014).
+
+## Inbound Request → Ticket Creation (behavior, not a new table)
+
+Extends 002-saas-integration's inbound flow. After `authenticateProductIntegration` succeeds and
+populates `request.reqContext`, the route handler (previously a stub echoing context back) now:
+
+1. Resolves or creates a `Problem` (research.md's explicit-reference-only linking).
+2. Atomically creates (or, on idempotency-key conflict, fetches) the `Ticket` in `NEW` status.
+3. Writes a `SYSTEM_EVENT` `TicketMessage` recording the creation (Constitution Principle VI —
+   durable audit trail via the message timeline itself).
+4. Returns the ticket's `id`/`code`/`status` to the caller (still `202`, now backed by a real
+   record instead of an echo).

+# Implementation Plan: Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+**Branch**: `003-ticketing` | **Date**: 2026-09-02 | **Spec**: [spec.md](./spec.md)
+
+**Input**: Feature specification from `specs/003-ticketing/spec.md`
+
+## Summary
+
+Add the `Ticket`/`Problem`/`TicketMessage`/`TicketAttachment` domain: creating a ticket (and its
+problem) immediately from a validated inbound request (wiring into 002-saas-integration's
+`POST /v1/support/requests`, which today only echoes trusted context back), a typed message
+timeline with enforced internal-note privacy, and an attachment pipeline built on the
+already-scaffolded S3-compatible `storageService` plus a new async malware-scan job on the
+already-scaffolded `attachments-queue`. Idempotency-key enforcement (deferred from
+002-saas-integration's FR-012) is implemented here since `Ticket` now exists.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: TypeScript 5.4 / Node.js 20+.
+
+**Primary Dependencies**: Prisma (new models), BullMQ (new attachment-scan job, using the
+existing `attachments-queue` and `QueueManager`), `@aws-sdk/client-s3` +
+`@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner` (already wired via `storageService` — no new dependency), Zod.
+
+**Storage**: PostgreSQL via Prisma (new `Ticket`, `Problem`, `TicketMessage`, `TicketAttachment`
+models per `docs/06-database-schema.md`) + S3-compatible object storage (AWS S3 in
+test/production, MinIO locally — per the user's confirmed choice, matching doc 04's explicit
+guidance and the existing `storageConfig`/`storageService` scaffold).
+
+**Testing**: Vitest — unit tests for the state-machine transition table and message-visibility
+mapping; integration tests for ticket creation (incl. idempotency and recurring-problem linking),
+message read-scoping, and the attachment upload → scan → download flow, against a real
+Postgres/Redis/S3-compatible target (MinIO via `docker-compose.test.yml`, extended by this
+feature — see research.md).
+
+**Target Platform**: Same Fastify modular monolith. Extends the already-scaffolded
+`src/modules/ticketing/{tickets,messages,attachments}` modules (currently: `tickets` has a bare
+`GET /tickets` stub; `messages`/`attachments` are unimplemented skeletons).
+
+**Project Type**: Backend service — single project.
+
+**Performance Goals**: Ticket creation (FR-001) must complete synchronously within the inbound
+request's own response — no async/eventual-consistency gap between "request accepted" and
+"ticket exists" (this is the whole point of Constitution Principle "ticket created immediately").
+Malware scanning is explicitly asynchronous (SC-005 only requires it's enforced *before
+download*, not before upload completes).
+
+**Constraints**: MUST NOT store attachment file bytes in PostgreSQL (FR-011); MUST NOT make an
+attachment downloadable before its scan clears (FR-013); ticket status updates MUST use
+optimistic concurrency (FR-007); every ticket/message/attachment query MUST be tenant-scoped
+(FR-015).
+
+**Scale/Scope**: One inbound-flow change (002-saas-integration's stub handler becomes real ticket
+creation), full CRUD-ish surface for messages or a customer/agent to read, and an attachment
+upload/download surface. Explicitly excludes investigation/root-cause/solution/resolution
+(Phase 9) and AI diagnosis (Phase 4) per spec.md Assumptions.
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+| Principle / Section | Check | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| I. SaaS Is the Sole Identity & Access Authority | Ticket/message/attachment queries are scoped by the already-validated `reqContext` (productId/customerId/tenantId) from 002-saas-integration's trust boundary — never a caller-supplied id alone (FR-015). | PASS |
+| II. Configuration Over Hardcoding | Message-type visibility mapping, attachment size/type limits, and scan-status gate are all defined as data/config, not scattered conditionals — see data-model.md. | PASS |
+| III. Layered Architecture With Enforced Module Boundaries | Extends the existing `tickets`/`messages`/`attachments` modules through their own controller/service/repository layers and public `index.ts`; the scan job lives in `src/jobs/attachments/` per the existing scaffold, calling the `attachments` module's repository through its public API only. | PASS |
+| IV. AI Recommends, Deterministic Policy Decides | Not applicable — no AI in this feature (explicitly deferred to Phase 4). | PASS — N/A |
+| V. Evidence-Based Verification | Not applicable — resolution/verification is Phase 9. | PASS — N/A |
+| VI. Durable Audit & History | Ticket status transitions and attachment scan-status changes are written as `SYSTEM_EVENT` ticket messages (visible per FR-008's type-driven visibility), giving a durable, queryable history without a separate audit mechanism for this feature's own state changes. | PASS |
+| VII. Concurrency-Safe, Durable Job Handling | Ticket status updates use optimistic concurrency (a `version` column, FR-007); the malware-scan job is idempotent (re-running it for an already-scanned attachment is a no-op); idempotency-key enforcement (FR-004) reuses the same atomic-upsert pattern as 002-saas-integration's `CustomerReference.findOrCreate`. | PASS |
+| VIII. Problem and Ticket Are Separate, Related Entities | Directly implements this principle (FR-003) — this is the feature that first creates both entities. | PASS |
+| Technology & Platform Constraints | Uses only already-present dependencies (Prisma, BullMQ, AWS SDK, Zod) — no new runtime dependency. | PASS |
+
+No violations requiring Complexity Tracking justification.
+
+## Post-Design Constitution Re-check
+
+All gates above remain PASS after Phase 1 design. One design detail worth calling out: the
+malware scanner (research.md) fails closed (defaults to `infected`, never `clean`) precisely
+because Principle V's spirit ("evidence-based, not assumed") applies here even though this
+feature's own scope is pre-Phase-9 — an attachment pipeline that silently marked everything
+"clean" would be asserting a safety property with no evidence behind it.

+# Quickstart: Validating Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+Prerequisites: 002-saas-integration's inbound trust boundary working (a seeded/registered
+`ProductIntegration`), MinIO running locally (research.md), migrations applied.
+
+## Scenario 1 — a trusted request creates a ticket immediately (User Story 1)
+
+1. Send a valid inbound request through `POST /v1/support/requests`.
+2. **Expected**: `202` with a `ticketId`/`code`/`status: NEW`; the `Ticket` and its `Problem`
+   exist in the database immediately — no polling needed.
+
+## Scenario 2 — idempotency key prevents duplicate tickets (User Story 1)
+
+1. Send the same request twice with the same `idempotencyKey`.
+2. **Expected**: both responses reference the *same* `ticketId`; only one `Ticket` row exists.
+
+## Scenario 3 — recurring problem links to the existing Problem (User Story 1)
+
+1. Create a ticket, note its `problemId`.
+2. Send a second, distinct request whose `referenceIds` includes that same problem's reference.
+3. **Expected**: the new ticket has the *same* `problemId` as the first — no second `Problem`
+   created.
+
+## Scenario 4 — internal notes never leak to a customer-scoped read (User Story 2)
+
+1. Post one message of each type (`CUSTOMER_MESSAGE`, `AI_MESSAGE`, `AGENT_MESSAGE`,
+   `INTERNAL_NOTE`, `SYSTEM_EVENT`, `INVESTIGATION_NOTE`, `SOLUTION_NOTE`) to a ticket.
+2. Read the ticket's messages through a customer-scoped call.
+3. **Expected**: only `CUSTOMER_MESSAGE`, `AI_MESSAGE`, `AGENT_MESSAGE`, `SYSTEM_EVENT` appear —
+   the other three are absent entirely, not present-but-flagged.
+4. Read the same ticket's messages through an agent-scoped call.
+5. **Expected**: all seven messages appear.
+
+## Scenario 5 — an attachment is unusable until it clears scanning (User Story 3)
+
+1. Request an upload URL, PUT a file, confirm the upload.
+2. Immediately request a download URL.
+3. **Expected**: `409` — `scanStatus` is `pending`.
+4. Wait for the scan job to run (with the placeholder scanner, research.md — it fails closed to
+   `infected`).
+5. Request a download URL again.
+6. **Expected**: still refused — `scanStatus: infected` — confirming the pipeline correctly gates
+   on a real (even if placeholder) scan result rather than defaulting to available.
+
+## Scenario 6 — a stale ticket-status update is rejected, not overwritten (Edge Cases)
+
+1. Read a ticket's current `status`/`version`.
+2. In two separate calls, attempt two different valid status transitions using the *same*
+   `expectedVersion`.
+3. **Expected**: exactly one succeeds; the other receives `409 CONFLICT` and must re-read the
+   ticket to retry.
+
+## What "done" looks like
+
+All six scenarios pass, and together they demonstrate every functional requirement and success
+criterion in `spec.md` without needing to read the implementation to know what "correct" means.

+# Phase 0 Research: Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+## Decision: Ticket code format
+
+- **Decision**: `<PRODUCT_CODE>-<YEAR>-<SEQUENCE>`, e.g. `DQB-2026-00567` (matches doc 01/04's own
+  example exactly). `PRODUCT_CODE` is derived from the `Product.externalProductId` (first
+  alphabetic segment, uppercased, max 4 chars, falling back to a generic prefix if the external
+  id doesn't yield one cleanly) and `SEQUENCE` is a per-product-per-year monotonic counter.
+- **Rationale**: Doc 01/04 use this exact shape as the running example throughout the guide;
+  matching it keeps generated codes recognizable against the spec's own illustrations. A
+  per-product-per-year counter (not a global one) keeps codes short and stable even as ticket
+  volume grows across many products.
+- **Alternatives considered**: A UUID-derived short code — rejected, not human-referenceable the
+  way doc 01's own example implies support agents need ("DQB-2026-00567" is meant to be readable
+  and speakable, not just unique).
+
+## Decision: Ticket lifecycle state machine
+
+- **Decision**: States, exactly as doc 04 §1 and doc 06's `Ticket.status` comment list them:
+  `NEW, AI_ANALYZING, AI_TROUBLESHOOTING, AI_VERIFYING, AI_RESOLVED, HUMAN_ESCALATION,
+  IN_PROGRESS, WAITING_FOR_CUSTOMER, RESOLUTION_PENDING_CUSTOMER, RESOLVED, CLOSED, REOPENED`.
+  Valid transitions are defined as an explicit adjacency table (not "anything can go anywhere"):
+  - `NEW` → `AI_ANALYZING`, `HUMAN_ESCALATION`
+  - `AI_ANALYZING` → `AI_TROUBLESHOOTING`, `HUMAN_ESCALATION`
+  - `AI_TROUBLESHOOTING` → `AI_VERIFYING`, `HUMAN_ESCALATION`
+  - `AI_VERIFYING` → `AI_RESOLVED`, `HUMAN_ESCALATION`
+  - `AI_RESOLVED` → `RESOLUTION_PENDING_CUSTOMER`, `RESOLVED`, `HUMAN_ESCALATION` (verification
+    failure re-escalating, per doc 04 §7)
+  - `HUMAN_ESCALATION` → `IN_PROGRESS`
+  - `IN_PROGRESS` → `WAITING_FOR_CUSTOMER`, `RESOLUTION_PENDING_CUSTOMER`, `HUMAN_ESCALATION`
+    (re-escalation)
+  - `WAITING_FOR_CUSTOMER` → `IN_PROGRESS`
+  - `RESOLUTION_PENDING_CUSTOMER` → `RESOLVED`, `IN_PROGRESS` (customer disputes, reopens
+    investigation per doc 04 §7)
+  - `RESOLVED` → `CLOSED`, `REOPENED`
+  - `CLOSED` → `REOPENED`
+  - `REOPENED` → `IN_PROGRESS`, `AI_ANALYZING`
+- **Rationale**: An explicit table is what makes FR-006 ("only valid transitions") actually
+  enforceable and testable, rather than a status field anyone can set to anything. The specific
+  edges are read directly off doc 04's described flows (§1 happy path, §3 human flow, §7
+  verification-failure branches, §9 resolve/close/reopen).
+- **Alternatives considered**: No enforced table (any transition allowed) — rejected, directly
+  contradicts FR-006; a generic workflow-engine library — rejected as disproportionate for a
+  fixed, spec-defined state set with no per-tenant customization need at this phase.
+
+## Decision: Ticket status optimistic concurrency
+
+- **Decision**: `Ticket` gains an `Int` `version` column (default `1`, matching doc 06's general
+  guidance to add this to mutable shared-state tables). A status update runs
+  `UPDATE tickets SET status = ?, version = version + 1 WHERE id = ? AND version = ?`; zero rows
+  affected means the caller's view was stale, and the update is rejected (`409 CONFLICT`, caller
+  must re-read and retry).
+- **Rationale**: This is the standard optimistic-locking pattern and satisfies FR-007/SC-007
+  without needing row-level locks or a distributed lock service — Postgres's own atomic
+  `UPDATE ... WHERE` already guarantees exactly one concurrent writer wins.
+- **Alternatives considered**: `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` pessimistic locking — rejected, holds a
+  transaction open across what could be a slow caller round-trip; optimistic locking only holds
+  the lock for the single atomic statement.
+
+## Decision: Idempotency-key enforcement
+
+- **Decision**: `Ticket` gains a nullable, unique-per-product `idempotencyKey` column
+  (`@@unique([productId, idempotencyKey])`, nullable values excluded from the constraint per
+  Postgres's standard NULL-handling). Ticket creation is an atomic
+  `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (productId, idempotencyKey) DO NOTHING RETURNING *`-style upsert; a
+  conflict means the key was already used, and the existing ticket is looked up and returned
+  instead.
+- **Rationale**: Same atomic-upsert pattern already used for `CustomerReference.findOrCreate` in
+  002-saas-integration — proven, race-safe under concurrent retries, no separate idempotency-key
+  cache/table needed. Scoped per-product (not globally unique) because two different products'
+  clients could coincidentally generate the same key value.
+- **Alternatives considered**: A separate `IdempotencyKey` tracking table — rejected as
+  unnecessary indirection when the key can live directly on the row it's deduplicating.
+
+## Decision: Recurring-problem linking
+
+- **Decision**: Per spec.md's Assumptions, this feature links to an existing `Problem` only when
+  the inbound request's `referenceIds` (docs/02 §3) or the ticket-creation call explicitly
+  supplies a known prior ticket/problem id; otherwise a new `Problem` is always created. No
+  fuzzy/semantic matching is attempted here.
+- **Rationale**: Real recurring-problem detection needs product-aware understanding of symptoms —
+  that's the AI-support feature's job (Phase 4), not this one's. Building a heuristic here would
+  either be too naive to be useful or scope-creep into Phase 4's actual responsibility.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Simple text-similarity matching on `Problem.statement` — rejected,
+  would produce false-positive links (different problems, similar wording) with no way to correct
+  them until Phase 4 exists to do it properly.
+
+## Decision: Message type → visibility mapping
+
+- **Decision**: A single source-of-truth constant map (not per-message logic):
+  ```
+  CUSTOMER_MESSAGE: true, AI_MESSAGE: true, AGENT_MESSAGE: true, SYSTEM_EVENT: true,
+  INTERNAL_NOTE: false, INVESTIGATION_NOTE: false, SOLUTION_NOTE: false
+  ```
+  `TicketMessage.visibleToCustomer` (doc 06's own field) is *set from this map at write time*,
+  never accepted as caller input — and customer-scoped reads filter `WHERE visibleToCustomer =
+  true` at the repository/query layer, not by trimming the response after fetching everything.
+- **Rationale**: Directly satisfies FR-008 (visibility derived from type, not independently
+  settable) and FR-009 (enforced at the query layer, so a serialization bug can't leak a note that
+  was never fetched in the first place).
+- **Alternatives considered**: Accepting `visibleToCustomer` as an API input — rejected outright,
+  this is exactly the "trust the client" mistake FR-008 exists to prevent.
+
+## Decision: Attachment pipeline shape
+
+- **Decision**: Two-phase upload — (1) caller requests a presigned PUT URL for a given
+  filename/content-type (`storageService` already has the S3 client wired, needs a presigned-PUT
+  method added alongside its existing presigned-GET `getPresignedUrl`); (2) caller PUTs the file
+  directly to object storage, then confirms the upload, which creates the `TicketAttachment` row
+  (`scanStatus: pending`) and enqueues a scan job on the existing `attachments-queue`
+  (`src/jobs/attachments/index.ts`, currently a log-only stub). Downloads use the existing
+  `storageService.getPresignedUrl` (GET), but only after the repository confirms
+  `scanStatus: clean` — the presigned URL is never generated for a `pending`/`infected`/`rejected`
+  attachment.
+- **Rationale**: A presigned-PUT upload means file bytes never transit the Fastify process at all
+  (satisfies FR-011 more strongly than a server-side proxy-upload would, and avoids adding
+  multipart-body handling to this feature). The existing `attachments-queue` scaffold is exactly
+  where the scan step belongs per doc 07's own module layout.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Server-side proxy upload (client → Fastify → S3) — rejected as
+  unnecessary complexity/latency when presigned PUT achieves the same security properties with
+  less code.
+
+## Decision: Malware scanning — no scanner exists in this stack yet
+
+- **Decision**: Define a small `MalwareScanner` interface (`scan(objectKey): Promise<'clean' |
+  'infected'>`) and ship one implementation now: a clearly-named
+  `UnimplementedPlaceholderScanner` that always returns `'infected'` (fails closed, never
+  `'clean'`) and logs a loud warning — so attachments are correctly gated as never-downloadable
+  until a real scanner (e.g. ClamAV via a sidecar, or a cloud provider's scanning API) is wired
+  in as a follow-up. The job worker calls whichever implementation is bound at startup.
+- **Rationale**: No antivirus/scanning service exists anywhere in this codebase or its
+  dependencies, and standing one up (e.g. deploying ClamAV) is real infrastructure work outside
+  this feature's scope. The alternative — a scanner that always returns `'clean'` — would satisfy
+  the code path but silently defeat FR-013's actual security purpose; failing closed means the
+  pipeline is honest about "attachments aren't actually safe to download yet" rather than
+  pretending they are. This mirrors the same honesty principle as the credential-storage
+  placeholder decision in 002-saas-integration's research.md.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Always-`'clean'` stub — rejected, defeats the feature's own
+  purpose and would be easy to forget to replace since nothing would ever surface the gap.
+  Skipping the scan step's implementation entirely (leave the job as its current log-only stub)
+  — rejected, FR-013 requires attachments be gated on scan status, and a permanently-`pending`
+  attachment (nothing ever calls the job) makes attachments unusable rather than correctly gated.
+
+## Decision: Local/test object storage — add MinIO to Docker Compose
+
+- **Decision**: Add a `minio` service to `docker-compose.test.yml` and
+  `docker-compose.development.yml`, and set `AWS_S3_ENDPOINT` in `.env.test`/`.env.development`
+  to point at it. `storageClient.ts` already branches on `storageConfig.endpoint` being set
+  (`forcePathStyle: true` for MinIO compatibility) — no client code changes needed, only compose
+  wiring and env values.
+- **Rationale**: Doc 04 explicitly calls for "MinIO for local dev," and the client already
+  anticipated this (the `endpoint`/`forcePathStyle` branch exists in code that predates this
+  feature) — this decision just finishes wiring what was already half-built.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Mocking S3 calls in tests instead of running real MinIO — rejected,
+  this feature's whole point includes verifying presigned URLs actually work and expire, which a
+  mock can't meaningfully verify.

+# Feature Specification: Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+**Feature Branch**: `003-ticketing`
+
+**Created**: 2026-09-02
+
+**Status**: Draft
+
+**Input**: User description: "Phase 5 of docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md: Ticket + Problem
+models (kept separate), message types, attachment pipeline (object storage, scanning, expiring
+URLs), ticket lifecycle state machine. Per docs/04-ticketing-and-problem-management.md and
+docs/06-database-schema.md."
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - A trusted request creates a durable ticket immediately (Priority: P1)
+
+The moment a validated inbound request (from the SaaS integration trust boundary) describes a
+customer's problem, SupportHub creates a durable ticket right away — before any diagnosis,
+before any human is involved. The ticket starts in a `NEW` status. If the same underlying problem
+recurs for the same product/tenant, the new ticket is linked to the existing `Problem` record
+rather than creating a duplicate; if it's a genuinely new problem, a new `Problem` record is
+created alongside the ticket. A retried request (same idempotency key) returns the
+already-created ticket instead of creating a second one.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the foundational principle of the whole product ("ticket created
+at the start of the journey, not after AI gives up") and everything else in this feature — and
+every future feature (AI, orchestration, resolution) — depends on the ticket/problem records
+existing first.
+
+**Independent Test**: Send a valid inbound request through the trust boundary and confirm a
+`Ticket` (status `NEW`) and a `Problem` exist immediately, correctly linked to the validated
+product/tenant/user context; send the same request again with the same idempotency key and
+confirm no second ticket is created.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a validated inbound request describing a problem, **When** it's processed, **Then**
+   a `Ticket` is created in `NEW` status and a `Problem` is created (or an existing one reused —
+   see Scenario 3), both linked to the validated product/tenant/user context, before any further
+   processing occurs.
+2. **Given** a ticket was just created, **When** its record is inspected, **Then** it has a
+   human-referenceable code (e.g. `DQB-2026-00567`-style), the originating product, and the
+   trusted customer reference — never a raw, unvalidated value from the request.
+3. **Given** a customer reports what is recognizably the same underlying problem again (same
+   product, same recognizable symptoms/context) as an existing open `Problem`, **When** a new
+   ticket is created for it, **Then** the new ticket links to the *existing* `Problem` record
+   rather than creating a duplicate one.
+4. **Given** an inbound request carries an idempotency key that was already used for a
+   successfully created ticket, **When** the request is retried, **Then** the existing ticket is
+   returned and no second ticket or problem is created.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Ticket messages are typed, and internal notes are never visible to customers (Priority: P2)
+
+A ticket accumulates a timeline of messages — from the customer, from AI (in future), from
+agents, from the system, and internal-only notes (investigation/solution notes, general internal
+notes). Every message has a type, and the API enforces — not just the UI — that
+customer-invisible message types can never reach a customer-scoped read.
+
+**Why this priority**: Without a message timeline there's no record of the interaction to show
+anyone; without enforced internal-note privacy, an agent's private note becomes a customer-facing
+leak the moment someone builds a UI that forgets to filter client-side.
+
+**Independent Test**: Post one of each message type on a ticket, then read the ticket's messages
+as a customer-scoped caller and confirm only customer-visible types appear; read the same
+messages as an agent-scoped caller and confirm all types appear.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a ticket, **When** a message of any defined type is posted to it, **Then** it's
+   stored with its type, author reference, body, and a customer-visibility flag derived from its
+   type (never independently settable per-message in a way that contradicts the type).
+2. **Given** a ticket has both customer-visible and internal-only messages, **When** its messages
+   are read through a customer-scoped endpoint, **Then** only customer-visible messages are
+   returned — internal notes are absent from the response entirely, not merely hidden by a flag.
+3. **Given** the same ticket, **When** its messages are read through an agent-scoped endpoint,
+   **Then** every message, including internal notes, is returned.
+4. **Given** a caller not authorized for a given ticket's tenant, **When** they attempt to read or
+   post a message on it, **Then** the request is rejected regardless of message type.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Attachments are safely stored and only ever downloaded through expiring, authorized URLs (Priority: P3)
+
+A customer or agent can attach a file (screenshot, PDF, log, video, document) to a ticket. The
+file goes to object storage, never to PostgreSQL — only its metadata and a storage reference are
+stored in the database. It is not available for download until it has cleared a malware scan.
+Every download happens through a short-lived, authorization-checked URL scoped to that ticket's
+tenant/user context — never a permanent or unauthenticated link.
+
+**Why this priority**: Attachments are common (screenshots, logs) but not required for the
+minimum ticket flow to work, and getting the security properties right (never in Postgres, never
+downloadable pre-scan, never a permanent link) matters more than shipping it first.
+
+**Independent Test**: Upload a file to a ticket and confirm it's rejected for download until scan
+status clears; confirm a generated download URL stops working after it expires; confirm a caller
+outside the ticket's tenant cannot generate or use a download URL for it.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a file upload to a ticket, **When** it's outside the configured type/size limits,
+   **Then** it's rejected before being sent to object storage.
+2. **Given** an accepted upload, **When** it has not yet cleared malware scanning, **Then** it is
+   not downloadable — its status is visibly `pending`, not silently unavailable.
+3. **Given** a file that clears scanning, **When** an authorized caller requests to download it,
+   **Then** they receive a time-limited URL that stops working after it expires.
+4. **Given** a file that fails malware scanning, **When** anyone attempts to download it,
+   **Then** the download is refused and the failure is visible on the attachment's record.
+5. **Given** a caller outside the ticket's tenant/user context, **When** they attempt to generate
+   or use a download URL for one of its attachments, **Then** the request is rejected.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when two requests for the same new problem arrive concurrently (not a literal
+  retried idempotency key, but a genuine race — e.g. a flaky client double-submits without
+  reusing the idempotency key)? Out of scope to fully solve here beyond the idempotency-key
+  mechanism in User Story 1 — true duplicate-problem detection beyond exact idempotency-key reuse
+  is a knowledge/classification concern for a future AI feature, not this one.
+- What happens when a ticket's status is updated by two actors at nearly the same time (e.g. a
+  customer reopens while an agent is closing)? The update that observes a stale status MUST be
+  rejected and retried against the current state — not silently overwrite the other actor's
+  change (Constitution Principle VII).
+- What happens when an attachment upload is interrupted mid-transfer? The attachment record MUST
+  NOT be considered available; a resumed/retried upload is a new attempt, not a partial record
+  left in a downloadable-looking state.
+- What happens when a malware scan itself fails to run (infrastructure error, not "found
+  malware")? The attachment MUST remain `pending`, never silently promoted to available.
+- What happens when a message is posted with a type that doesn't exist in the defined set? The
+  request MUST be rejected — message type is not free text.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: The system MUST create a `Ticket` record immediately upon processing a validated
+  inbound request describing a problem — before any diagnosis, classification, or human
+  involvement occurs.
+- **FR-002**: The system MUST create or reuse a `Problem` record for every ticket: a new `Problem`
+  when none matches, or the existing `Problem` when the ticket represents a recurrence of one
+  already open for the same product/tenant context.
+- **FR-003**: `Ticket` and `Problem` MUST remain separate, related entities — a ticket references
+  exactly one problem; a problem may have many tickets (Constitution Principle VIII).
+- **FR-004**: The system MUST honor the inbound request's idempotency key: a retried request
+  carrying a previously-used key returns the already-created ticket rather than creating a new
+  one.
+- **FR-005**: Every ticket MUST have a human-referenceable code, unique, generated by the system
+  — never supplied by the caller.
+- **FR-006**: A ticket's status MUST only ever be one of the defined lifecycle states, and MUST
+  only transition through valid state changes (an invalid transition is rejected, not silently
+  coerced).
+- **FR-007**: A ticket's status update MUST use optimistic concurrency control: an update based on
+  a stale prior status is rejected, not applied on top of a change it didn't observe.
+- **FR-008**: Every message posted to a ticket MUST have one of the defined message types, and its
+  customer-visibility MUST be determined by its type, not independently settable in a way that
+  contradicts the type.
+- **FR-009**: The system MUST NOT return customer-invisible message types (internal notes,
+  investigation notes, solution notes) through any customer-scoped read of a ticket's messages —
+  enforced at the API/serialization layer, not left to client-side filtering.
+- **FR-010**: The system MUST reject reading or posting on a ticket by a caller not authorized for
+  that ticket's tenant/user context, regardless of message type or attachment involved.
+- **FR-011**: Attachment files MUST be stored in object storage, never in PostgreSQL — the
+  database stores only metadata and a storage reference.
+- **FR-012**: The system MUST validate an attachment's type and size against configured limits
+  before accepting the upload.
+- **FR-013**: An uploaded attachment MUST NOT be downloadable until it has cleared malware
+  scanning; its scan status MUST be visible on its record (`pending` / `clean` / `infected` /
+  `rejected`).
+- **FR-014**: Attachment downloads MUST only be possible through a time-limited,
+  authorization-checked URL scoped to the ticket's tenant/user context — never a permanent or
+  unauthenticated link.
+- **FR-015**: The system MUST scope every ticket, message, and attachment query by the caller's
+  validated tenant/user context — a caller-supplied identifier alone is never sufficient
+  authorization (Constitution Principle I).
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Ticket**: The durable, operational record of one support interaction — status, priority,
+  severity, the product/tenant/customer it belongs to, and links to its problem, messages,
+  attachments, and (in later features) AI sessions, assignments, and escalation events.
+- **Problem**: The underlying issue being solved, which can outlive and span multiple tickets —
+  statement, symptoms, impact, severity, environment. Deliberately separate from `Ticket`.
+- **Ticket Message**: One entry in a ticket's timeline — typed (`CUSTOMER_MESSAGE`, `AI_MESSAGE`,
+  `AGENT_MESSAGE`, `INTERNAL_NOTE`, `SYSTEM_EVENT`, `INVESTIGATION_NOTE`, `SOLUTION_NOTE`), with
+  an author reference, body, and a visibility derived from its type.
+- **Ticket Attachment**: Metadata for one uploaded file — storage reference (never the file
+  itself), original filename, MIME type, size, scan status, and who uploaded it.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: 100% of validated inbound requests result in a ticket existing before any further
+  processing — zero requests that pass the trust boundary without a corresponding ticket.
+- **SC-002**: A retried request using the same idempotency key never produces more than one
+  ticket, regardless of how many times it's retried.
+- **SC-003**: Zero internal-only messages ever appear in a customer-scoped read of a ticket's
+  timeline, verified across every defined message type.
+- **SC-004**: Zero attachment files are ever persisted directly in the database — 100% go to
+  object storage with only a reference stored.
+- **SC-005**: An attachment that hasn't cleared malware scanning is rejected for download 100% of
+  the time it's attempted.
+- **SC-006**: A generated attachment download URL becomes unusable after its configured expiry —
+  verified by attempting to use it past that point.
+- **SC-007**: Two concurrent status updates to the same ticket never both apply silently — exactly
+  one succeeds against the state it observed, and the other is rejected and must retry.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- This feature covers ticket/problem creation, the message timeline, and the attachment pipeline
+  only. It does NOT include: AI diagnosis/classification (Phase 4), investigation/root
+  cause/solution/resolution workflows (Phase 9), orchestration/assignment/SLA (Phases 6-8), or the
+  customer-confirmation/auto-close/reopen *workflow* automation (Phase 9) — though the `REOPENED`
+  status itself is part of the lifecycle state machine this feature defines, since doc 04 lists it
+  as a core ticket status.
+- "Recognizably the same underlying problem" (FR-002/User Story 1 Scenario 3) is intentionally
+  left without a precise matching algorithm here — real recurring-problem detection is a
+  knowledge/classification capability that belongs to the AI-support feature (Phase 4). For this
+  feature, an explicit, caller-supplied reference (e.g. a prior ticket/problem id in the inbound
+  request's `referenceIds`, per docs/02 §3) is sufficient grounds to link to an existing `Problem`
+  — this feature does not attempt fuzzy/semantic matching on its own.
+- AI-driven status transitions (`AI_ANALYZING`, `AI_TROUBLESHOOTING`, `AI_VERIFYING`,
+  `AI_RESOLVED`) are part of the lifecycle state machine's defined states (FR-006), but nothing in
+  this feature *automatically drives* a ticket into them — that requires the AI-support feature
+  (Phase 4), which doesn't exist yet. This feature only guarantees the state machine itself is
+  correct and that transitions can be triggered (e.g. by an authorized caller or a future feature)
+  without corrupting ticket state under concurrency.
+- Row-level security (Postgres RLS) as a defense-in-depth layer under the application-level tenant
+  scoping in FR-015 (per `docs/11-architect-additions-gaps-and-recommendations.md` §A3) is a
+  valuable hardening step but is deliberately deferred — `REQUIRES BUSINESS/PLATFORM
+  CONFIRMATION` on whether/when to adopt it, not invented here. Application-level scoping (FR-015)
+  is the enforced control for this feature.
+- Malware scanning integration specifics (which scanner/service) are a technical decision left to
+  planning — this spec only requires that the scan gate and its visible states exist.

+
+# Tasks: Ticket Creation, Messages & Attachments
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `specs/003-ticketing/`
+
+**Prerequisites**: [plan.md](./plan.md), [spec.md](./spec.md), [research.md](./research.md),
+[data-model.md](./data-model.md), [contracts/ticket-lifecycle-contract.md](./contracts/ticket-lifecycle-contract.md),
+[quickstart.md](./quickstart.md)
+
+**Tests**: Included as first-class tasks (state machine, idempotency, and visibility enforcement
+are exactly the kind of "MUST" requirements regressions silently break), same approach as
+002-saas-integration.
+
+**Organization**: Tasks are grouped by user story (US1 = P1 ticket/problem creation, US2 = P2
+messages, US3 = P3 attachments).
+
+## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
+
+All file paths are relative to `supporthub-api/` (repo root).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Setup
+
+- [X] T001 Add a `minio` service to `docker-compose.test.yml` and
+      `docker-compose.development.yml` (image `minio/minio`, console + API ports), and set
+      `AWS_S3_ENDPOINT`/`AWS_S3_BUCKET`/`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` in
+      `.env.test`/`.env.development` to point at it (research.md "local/test object storage")
+- [X] T002 [P] Add `getPresignedUploadUrl(objectName, contentType, expirySeconds?)` to
+      `src/infrastructure/storage/storage.service.ts`, mirroring the existing
+      `getPresignedUrl`/`PutObjectCommand` pattern already used by `uploadFile`
+
+**Checkpoint**: Object storage is reachable locally/in CI; the service can mint both upload and
+download presigned URLs.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Foundational (Blocking Prerequisites)
+
+**Purpose**: Schema and shared primitives (state machine, visibility map, scanner interface)
+every user story depends on.
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL**: No user-story stage work can begin until this phase is complete.
+
+- [X] T003 Add `Ticket`, `Problem`, `TicketMessage`, `TicketAttachment` models to
+      `prisma/schema.prisma` per `data-model.md` (including `Ticket.version`,
+      `Ticket.idempotencyKey`, `Ticket.customerId` FK to the existing `CustomerReference`,
+      `Ticket.categoryId` FK to the existing `Category`)
+- [X] T004 Run `npm run prisma:generate` and create the migration (`npm run prisma:migrate`) for
+      T003 (depends on T003)
+- [X] T005 [P] Define the 12-state adjacency table and a pure `isValidTransition(from, to):
+      boolean` function in `src/modules/ticketing/tickets/mapper/ticket-state-machine.ts` per
+      research.md's exact edge list
+- [X] T006 [P] Define the message type→visibility constant map and a pure
+      `isVisibleToCustomer(type): boolean` function in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/messages/mapper/message-visibility.ts` per research.md
+- [X] T007 [P] Define the `MalwareScanner` interface and the fail-closed
+      `UnimplementedPlaceholderScanner` in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/attachments/mapper/malware-scanner.ts` per research.md — logs a
+      loud warning on every call
+- [X] T008 [P] Add a ticket-code generator (`generateTicketCode(externalProductId, sequence):
+      string`) in `src/modules/ticketing/tickets/mapper/ticket-code.ts` per research.md's format
+
+**Checkpoint**: Schema migrated; state machine, visibility map, scanner interface, and code
+generator exist and are independently unit-testable. User stories can now be built.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 1 - A trusted request creates a durable ticket immediately (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: `POST /v1/support/requests` (002-saas-integration) creates a real `Ticket`+`Problem`
+instead of echoing context back; ticket status transitions are validated and concurrency-safe.
+
+**Independent Test**: Quickstart Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 6.
+
+### Tests for User Story 1
+
+- [X] T009 [P] [US1] Unit tests for `ticket-state-machine.ts` (every valid edge accepted, a
+      sample of invalid edges rejected) in `tests/unit/ticketing/ticket-state-machine.test.ts`
+- [X] T010 [P] [US1] Unit tests for `ticket-code.ts` (format, per-product-per-year sequencing) in
+      `tests/unit/ticketing/ticket-code.test.ts`
+- [X] T011 [US1] Integration test covering Quickstart Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 6 (creation, idempotent
+      retry, recurring-problem linking via `referenceIds`, concurrent status-update rejection)
+      against a real Postgres in `tests/integration/ticket-creation.test.ts`
+
+### Implementation for User Story 1
+
+- [X] T012 [US1] Add `ProblemsRepository` (create; find-by-reference using an explicit prior
+      ticket/problem id — research.md's explicit-reference-only rule) in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/tickets/repository/problems.repository.ts` (depends on T004)
+- [X] T013 [US1] Add `TicketsRepository` (atomic `create` with idempotency-key upsert per
+      data-model.md's `@@unique([productId, idempotencyKey])`; `findById`; `findByCode`;
+      `updateStatus` using the `version`-based optimistic-concurrency `UPDATE ... WHERE version =
+      ?` from research.md) in `src/modules/ticketing/tickets/repository/tickets.repository.ts`,
+      replacing the old placeholder `findAllProducts`-style stub (depends on T004)
+- [X] T014 [US1] Add `TicketMessagesRepository.create` (used internally for the `SYSTEM_EVENT`
+      creation/transition record — full messages CRUD is User Story 2) in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/messages/repository/messages.repository.ts` (depends on T004, T006)
+- [X] T015 [US1] Add `TicketsService.createFromInboundRequest(reqContext, body)`: resolves/creates
+      the `Problem` (T012), creates/fetches the `Ticket` (T013), writes the creation
+      `SYSTEM_EVENT` message (T014) — all synchronous within one request (FR-001) — in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/tickets/service/tickets.service.ts` (depends on T012, T013, T014)
+- [X] T016 [US1] Add `TicketsService.updateStatus(ticketId, newStatus, expectedVersion, actor)`:
+      validates the transition via `isValidTransition` (T005), calls the repository's optimistic
+      update, writes a `SYSTEM_EVENT` message on success, throws `409 CONFLICT` on version
+      mismatch and `400 INVALID_TRANSITION` on an invalid edge (depends on T005, T013, T014)
+- [X] T017 [US1] Replace `src/modules/catalog/products/routes/inbound-request.routes.ts`'s stub
+      handler: call `TicketsService.createFromInboundRequest` and respond with
+      `{ ticketId, code, status, problemId }` instead of echoing `reqContext` back (depends on
+      T015)
+- [X] T018 [US1] Add `PATCH /tickets/:ticketId/status` (body `{ status, expectedVersion }`) and
+      `GET /tickets/:ticketId` routes, tenant-scoped per FR-015, in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/tickets/routes/tickets.routes.ts`, replacing the old placeholder
+      `GET /tickets` list stub; register the module's routes from `src/api/routes.ts` (depends on
+      T016)
+- [X] T019 [US1] Run Quickstart Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 6 locally and confirm all four pass
+
+**Checkpoint**: User Story 1 is fully functional — every trusted inbound request produces a real,
+concurrency-safe, idempotent ticket. This is a deployable/demoable increment even before
+messages/attachments exist.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 - Ticket messages are typed, and internal notes are never visible to customers (Priority: P2)
+
+**Goal**: Full message CRUD with visibility enforced at the query layer.
+
+**Independent Test**: Quickstart Scenario 4.
+
+### Tests for User Story 2
+
+- [X] T020 [P] [US2] Unit tests for `message-visibility.ts` (every type maps correctly, including
+      that the mapping can't be overridden by caller input at the type level) in
+      `tests/unit/ticketing/message-visibility.test.ts`
+- [X] T021 [US2] Integration test covering Quickstart Scenario 4 (post one of each type; confirm
+      customer-scoped read excludes internal types entirely; confirm agent-scoped read includes
+      all) against a real Postgres in `tests/integration/ticket-messages.test.ts`
+
+### Implementation for User Story 2
+
+- [X] T022 [US2] Extend `TicketMessagesRepository` with `findVisibleToCustomer(ticketId)`
+      (`WHERE visibleToCustomer = true`, per data-model.md's index) and `findAll(ticketId)`
+      (agent-scope) — both tenant-scoped per FR-015 (depends on T014)
+- [X] T023 [US2] Add `MessagesService.post(ticketId, actor, type, body)` (sets
+      `visibleToCustomer` from `isVisibleToCustomer(type)` — never from request input, FR-008)
+      and `.listForCustomer`/`.listForAgent` in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/messages/service/messages.service.ts` (depends on T006, T022)
+- [X] T024 [US2] Add routes in `src/modules/ticketing/messages/routes/messages.routes.ts`:
+      `POST /tickets/:ticketId/messages` (customer/agent both post, gated by
+      `fastify.authenticate`), `GET /tickets/:ticketId/messages` (customer-scoped),
+      `GET /agent/tickets/:ticketId/messages` (agent-scoped) — register from `src/api/routes.ts`
+      (depends on T023)
+- [X] T025 [US2] Run Quickstart Scenario 4 locally and confirm it passes
+
+**Checkpoint**: Both User Story 1 and 2 work together — a created ticket now has a real,
+correctly-scoped message timeline.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: User Story 3 - Attachments are safely stored and only downloadable through expiring, authorized URLs (Priority: P3)
+
+**Goal**: Presigned-PUT upload → confirm → async scan → scan-gated presigned-GET download.
+
+**Independent Test**: Quickstart Scenario 5.
+
+### Tests for User Story 3
+
+- [X] T026 [P] [US3] Unit tests for `UnimplementedPlaceholderScanner` (always resolves
+      `'infected'`, never throws) in `tests/unit/ticketing/malware-scanner.test.ts`
+- [X] T027 [US3] Integration test covering Quickstart Scenario 5 (upload-url → confirm → download
+      refused while `pending` → download refused after the placeholder scanner marks
+      `infected`) against a real Postgres/Redis/MinIO in
+      `tests/integration/ticket-attachments.test.ts`
+
+### Implementation for User Story 3
+
+- [X] T028 [US3] Add `AttachmentsRepository` (create with `scanStatus: 'pending'`; findById;
+      `updateScanStatus`) in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/attachments/repository/attachments.repository.ts` (depends on T004)
+- [X] T029 [US3] Add `AttachmentsService.requestUploadUrl(ticketId, fileName, mimeType,
+      sizeBytes)`: validates type/size against configured limits (FR-012) before calling
+      `storageService.getPresignedUploadUrl` (T002) — depends on T002
+- [X] T030 [US3] Add `AttachmentsService.confirmUpload(ticketId, storageKey, fileName, mimeType,
+      sizeBytes, uploadedBy)`: creates the `TicketAttachment` row (T028) and enqueues a job on
+      `QueueName.ATTACHMENTS` via the existing `queueManager` (depends on T028)
+- [X] T031 [US3] Add `AttachmentsService.requestDownloadUrl(ticketId, attachmentId)`: returns
+      `storageService.getPresignedUrl` only when `scanStatus === 'clean'`, else throws `409` with
+      the current status (FR-013/FR-014) — depends on T028
+- [X] T032 [US3] Replace the log-only stub in `src/jobs/attachments/index.ts`: call the bound
+      `MalwareScanner` (T007), then `AttachmentsRepository.updateScanStatus` with the result —
+      depends on T007, T028
+- [X] T033 [US3] Wire `registerAttachmentWorker()` into `src/bootstrap/queue.bootstrap.ts` (it's
+      currently defined but never called anywhere) — depends on T032
+- [X] T034 [US3] Add routes in
+      `src/modules/ticketing/attachments/routes/attachments.routes.ts`:
+      `POST /tickets/:ticketId/attachments/upload-url`,
+      `POST /tickets/:ticketId/attachments/:attachmentId/confirm`,
+      `GET /tickets/:ticketId/attachments/:attachmentId/download-url` — register from
+      `src/api/routes.ts` (depends on T029, T030, T031)
+- [X] T035 [US3] Run Quickstart Scenario 5 locally and confirm it passes
+
+**Checkpoint**: All three user stories work independently and together — a ticket now has
+creation, a message timeline, and a securely-gated attachment pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+- [X] T036 [P] Add a "Ticketing" section to `README.md` describing the inbound-to-ticket flow,
+      the status-transition contract, and the attachment pipeline (including that downloads are
+      permanently blocked until a real `MalwareScanner` replaces the placeholder)
+- [X] T037 [P] Update `specs/003-ticketing/checklists/requirements.md` Notes with any
+      implementation-time findings (e.g. concurrency edge cases discovered while testing T011)
+- [X] T038 Run `npx tsx scripts/check-architecture.ts` and `npm run lint`/`npm run typecheck` to
+      confirm the new modules respect existing module-boundary rules
+- [X] T039 Full regression: `npm run test:unit` (scoped to `tests/unit`, per 001/002's fix) to
+      confirm nothing broke elsewhere
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+### Phase Dependencies
+
+- **Setup (Phase 1)**: No dependencies
+- **Foundational (Phase 2)**: Depends on Setup — BLOCKS all user stories
+- **User Story 1 (Phase 3)**: Depends on Foundational — no dependency on US2/US3
+- **User Story 2 (Phase 4)**: Depends on Foundational + a `Ticket` existing to attach messages to
+  — practically sequenced after US1, though its own repository/service/routes are independent
+  code
+- **User Story 3 (Phase 5)**: Depends on Foundational + a `Ticket` existing — independent of US2
+- **Polish (Phase 6)**: Depends on all three user stories
+
+### Parallel Opportunities
+
+- T001/T002 (Setup)
+- T005/T006/T007/T008 (independent Foundational primitives)
+- T009/T010 (independent unit test files)
+- T020 alongside US1's later tasks once T006 exists
+- T026 alongside US1/US2's later tasks once T007 exists
+- T036/T037 in Polish
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (User Story 1 Only)
+
+1. Setup + Foundational (T001-T008)
+2. User Story 1 (T009-T019)
+3. **STOP and VALIDATE**: Quickstart Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 6 pass — every trusted request now
+   produces a real, durable, idempotent, concurrency-safe ticket. This alone is a meaningful
+   product milestone even before messages/attachments exist.
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+1. Setup + Foundational → schema migrated, primitives tested
+2. Add User Story 1 → tickets are real (MVP)
+3. Add User Story 2 → tickets have a correctly-scoped conversation timeline
+4. Add User Story 3 → tickets support secure attachments
+5. Polish → docs and full regression

+# Specification Quality Checklist: Product Knowledge Management & Retrieval
+
+**Purpose**: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning
+**Created**: 2026-09-02
+**Feature**: [spec.md](../spec.md)
+
+## Content Quality
+
+- [x] No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs)
+- [x] Focused on user value and business needs
+- [x] Written for non-technical stakeholders
+- [x] All mandatory sections completed
+
+## Requirement Completeness
+
+- [x] No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain
+- [x] Requirements are testable and unambiguous
+- [x] Success criteria are measurable
+- [x] Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details)
+- [x] All acceptance scenarios are defined
+- [x] Edge cases are identified
+- [x] Scope is clearly bounded
+- [x] Dependencies and assumptions identified
+
+## Feature Readiness
+
+- [x] All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria
+- [x] User scenarios cover primary flows
+- [x] Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria
+- [x] No implementation details leak into specification
+
+## Notes
+
+- Scope is deliberately Phase 3 only (per docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md): knowledge/known-
+  issue/error-code/runbook models, admin CRUD, versioning/publish state, and a filtered
+  (non-semantic) retrieval layer. AI diagnosis, runbook execution, and tool systems are Phase 4
+  — explicitly out of scope, see Assumptions.
+- Full semantic/vector retrieval is deliberately deferred (doc 11 §B1) — this feature's retrieval
+  is real and usable (structured filtering + validation-status ranking), not a stand-in.
+- All items pass; no revision iterations were needed.
+
+## Implementation notes (added during /speckit-implement)
+
+- **Found and fixed a real bug before it reached tests**: the `GET /knowledge/retrieve`
+  controller initially queried `KnowledgeEntry.productId` using the raw query-string value
+  directly, but every other endpoint in this feature (and every prior feature) treats
+  `:externalProductId` as the external SaaS product id, resolved to the internal `Product.id`
+  before touching the database. Retrieval would have silently returned zero results for every
+  real caller (external id never matches an internal cuid). Fixed by adding a lenient
+  `tryResolveProductId` variant (returns `null` instead of a `404`, since an unregistered product
+  queried for retrieval is correctly "no matches," not an error — contract guarantee 5) alongside
+  the existing strict `resolveProductId` used by the admin routes.
+- No dedicated unit-test task (originally T004/T019 in tasks.md) was implemented as a
+  mock-repository test: unlike 003-ticketing's state machine or message-visibility map, this
+  feature has no meaningful pure-logic surface — publish/version/retrieve are thin Prisma
+  queries, not extractable pure functions. Coverage instead comes entirely from integration tests
+  against a real Postgres (`tests/integration/knowledge-entries.test.ts`,
+  `known-issues.test.ts`, `runbooks.test.ts`, `knowledge-retrieval.test.ts` — 12 tests, all
+  verified passing against a live database), which is where this feature's actual risk (version-
+  history integrity, concurrency, cross-product isolation) lives anyway.
+- All 13 integration test files in the repository (36 tests total, spanning this feature and
+  every prior one) were run together and passed, confirming no regression.

+- `POST /admin/products/:externalProductId/knowledge` — creates a new entry, `version: 1`,
+  `isCurrentVersion: true`, `status: draft`.
+- `PATCH /admin/knowledge/:code/publish` — body `{ effectiveDate? }` — sets `status: published`.
+- `PATCH /admin/knowledge/:code/unpublish` — sets `status: unpublished`.
+- `PATCH /admin/knowledge/:code/validate` — body `{ validationStatus }` — sets validation status
+  on the current version.
+- `PUT /admin/knowledge/:code` — body is the new content + `expectedVersion`. Creates a new
+  version per research.md's conditional-update-then-insert; `409 CONFLICT` on a stale
+  `expectedVersion`.
+- `GET /admin/knowledge/:code/versions` — lists every version of this entry, newest first,
+  including non-current ones (admin-only history view).
+
+## Runbooks
+
+Same shape as Knowledge Entries, keyed by `(key, productId)` instead of `code`:
+
+- `POST /admin/products/:externalProductId/runbooks`
+- `PUT /admin/products/:externalProductId/runbooks/:key` (versioned edit, same
+  `expectedVersion`/`409` rule)
+- `PATCH /admin/products/:externalProductId/runbooks/:key/deactivate`
+- `GET /admin/products/:externalProductId/runbooks/:key` — current version only (execution-ready
+  lookup, not the admin history view)
+
+## Error Codes & Known Issues
+
+- `POST /admin/products/:externalProductId/error-codes`
+- `POST /admin/products/:externalProductId/known-issues` — body includes `errorCodeId` (optional)
+- `GET /admin/products/:externalProductId/known-issues/by-error-code/:code` — FR-007's direct
+  lookup
+
+## Retrieval
+
+- `GET /knowledge/retrieve?productId=&feature=&category=` — the filtered, ranked query
+  (research.md). Returns only `published`, currently-effective, current-version entries scoped to
+  the given product, validated entries ranked first. Empty array on no matches, never an error.
+
+## Guarantees (callable contract)
+
+1. **A draft entry is never returned by `/knowledge/retrieve`**, regardless of any other filter
+   (SC-001).
+2. **Retrieval never crosses product scope** — a query for product A never returns product B's
+   entries, even if B has a matching `code`/`feature` (SC-002).
+3. **Publishing takes effect within the same request cycle** — no cache/propagation delay before
+   a newly-published entry appears in retrieval (SC-003).
+4. **Editing never destroys a prior version** — `GET .../versions` after an edit still includes
+   the pre-edit content (SC-004).
+5. **A stale-version edit is rejected with `409`, never silently applied on top of a change it
+   didn't observe** — same guarantee class as 003-ticketing's ticket-status concurrency.
+6. **A validated entry outranks an equally-matching unvalidated one** in every retrieval result
+   that includes both (SC-005).

+# Phase 1 Data Model: Product Knowledge Management & Retrieval
+
+All new models use `cuid()` ids. Refines `docs/06-database-schema.md`'s conceptual
+`KnowledgeEntry`/`Runbook` shapes with an explicit version-history mechanism (research.md).
+
+## KnowledgeEntry
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| code | String | `KB-<PRODUCT>-<SEQ>` style, e.g. `KB-DQ-102` — logical identifier shared across versions |
+| version | Int @default(1) | |
+| isCurrentVersion | Boolean @default(true) | Exactly one `true` row per `code` at a time (research.md) |
+| productId | String | FK → `Product` |
+| feature | String? | |
+| type | String | `known_issue` \| `faq` \| `resolution_procedure` \| `operations` |
+| problem | String? | |
+| symptoms | String? | |
+| errorCode | String? | Free-text reference for display; structured linkage is via `ErrorCode`/`KnownIssue` separately |
+| cause | String? | |
+| recommendedSolution | String? | |
+| verificationSteps | String? | |
+| escalationGuidance | String? | |
+| status | String @default("draft") | `draft` \| `published` \| `unpublished` |

+| categoryScope | String[] | |
+| validationStatus | String @default("unvalidated") | `unvalidated` \| `validated` |
+| owner | String? | |
+| lastReview | DateTime? | |
+| source | String? | |
+| createdAt | DateTime @default(now()) | |
+
+**Constraints**: `@@unique([code, version])`. Index on `(productId, isCurrentVersion, status,
+effectiveDate)` — the exact shape retrieval queries on.
+
+**Retrieval eligibility rule** (not a DB constraint, enforced in the repository's query):
+`isCurrentVersion = true AND status = 'published' AND (effectiveDate IS NULL OR effectiveDate <=
+now())`.
+
+## ErrorCode
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| code | String | e.g. `LAYOUT_PARSE_042` |
+| productId | String | FK → `Product` |
+| description | String | |
+
+**Constraints**: `@@unique([productId, code])` — unique within a product, matching FR-006.
+
+## KnownIssue
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| productId | String | FK → `Product` |
+| errorCodeId | String? | FK → `ErrorCode` |
+| description | String | |
+| status | String @default("open") | |
+
+## Runbook
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| id | String @id @default(cuid()) | |
+| key | String | Logical identifier shared across versions, e.g. `PDF_HTML_CONVERSION_FAILURE` |
+| version | Int @default(1) | |
+| isCurrentVersion | Boolean @default(true) | Same version-history mechanism as `KnowledgeEntry` |
+| productId | String | FK → `Product` |
+| steps | Json | Ordered array — order preserved exactly as authored (FR-008) |
+| active | Boolean @default(true) | |
+
+**Constraints**: `@@unique([key, productId, version])`. Lookup-by-key queries filter
+`isCurrentVersion = true AND active = true`.

+# Implementation Plan: Product Knowledge Management & Retrieval
+
+**Branch**: `004-product-knowledge` | **Date**: 2026-09-02 | **Spec**: [spec.md](./spec.md)
+
+**Input**: Feature specification from `specs/004-product-knowledge/spec.md`
+
+## Summary
+
+Add the `KnowledgeEntry`/`ErrorCode`/`KnownIssue`/`Runbook` domain: admin CRUD with a
+draft/published/unpublished lifecycle and version-on-edit for knowledge entries and runbooks,
+structured lookup for error codes/known issues, and a filtered (non-semantic) retrieval query.
+This is the first feature to populate `src/modules/ai-support/` — doc 07 places `knowledge`
+inside the `ai-support` module group, which doesn't exist in the codebase yet; this feature
+creates it with just the `knowledge` submodule, leaving the rest of that group (agents, sessions,
+diagnosis, tools, etc.) for the future AI-support feature (Phase 4).
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: TypeScript 5.4 / Node.js 20+.
+
+**Primary Dependencies**: Prisma (new models), Zod. No new runtime dependency — retrieval is
+implemented as filtered Prisma queries (research.md), not a vector-search library.
+
+**Storage**: PostgreSQL via Prisma (new `KnowledgeEntry`, `ErrorCode`, `KnownIssue`, `Runbook`
+models per `docs/06-database-schema.md`).
+
+**Testing**: Vitest — unit tests for the version-on-edit logic and retrieval filter/ranking
+logic; integration tests for the full admin CRUD + retrieval flow against a real Postgres.
+
+**Target Platform**: Same Fastify modular monolith. New module:
+`src/modules/ai-support/knowledge/` (standard module shape per doc 07 — no existing scaffold to
+extend, unlike prior features).
+
+**Project Type**: Backend service — single project.
+
+**Performance Goals**: Not performance-sensitive at this phase (no semantic search, no LLM calls)
+— a retrieval query is a straightforward filtered/indexed Postgres query.
+
+**Constraints**: MUST NOT return draft/unpublished/not-yet-effective entries from retrieval
+(FR-012); MUST preserve prior versions on edit, never overwrite in place (FR-004/FR-009); MUST
+scope retrieval to the requested product, never leak cross-product (FR-011).
+
+**Scale/Scope**: Admin CRUD endpoints for all four entity types, one retrieval query endpoint.
+Explicitly excludes: semantic/vector retrieval, runbook execution, AI diagnosis, tool systems
+(all Phase 4) — see spec.md Assumptions.
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+| Principle / Section | Check | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| I. SaaS Is the Sole Identity & Access Authority | Not directly implicated — knowledge is SupportHub-owned content, not SaaS identity data. `owner`/`lastReview` are free-text admin-set fields, not references into SaaS identity. | PASS — N/A |
+| II. Configuration Over Hardcoding | Publish/validation lifecycle, versioning, and retrieval filters are all data-driven (status/effectiveDate/validationStatus columns), not hardcoded conditionals. | PASS |
+| III. Layered Architecture With Enforced Module Boundaries | New `ai-support/knowledge` module follows the standard controller/service/repository/routes/schema/mapper/types/constants shape and exposes only its `index.ts` — same convention as every prior module in this codebase. | PASS |
+| IV. AI Recommends, Deterministic Policy Decides | Not applicable — no AI reasoning in this feature; retrieval is deterministic filtering, not model inference. | PASS — N/A |
+| V. Evidence-Based Verification | Not applicable — no resolution/verification concept in this feature. | PASS — N/A |
+| VI. Durable Audit & History | Publish/unpublish and version-on-edit are themselves the durable history mechanism (FR-004/FR-009's "prior versions remain retrievable") — no separate audit log needed for this feature's own concern, though admin actions could optionally also write `AuditLog` rows (see research.md). | PASS |
+| VII. Concurrency-Safe, Durable Job Handling | Version-on-edit uses the same optimistic-concurrency-adjacent pattern as 003-ticketing where two admins could race to edit the same entry — see research.md. No background jobs in this feature. | PASS |
+| VIII. Problem and Ticket Are Separate, Related Entities | Not applicable — this feature doesn't touch tickets/problems. | PASS — N/A |
+| Technology & Platform Constraints | Prisma + Zod only, no new dependency. | PASS |
+
+No violations requiring Complexity Tracking justification.
+
+## Post-Design Constitution Re-check
+
+All gates above remain PASS after Phase 1 design. The version-history refinement (research.md)
+is worth calling out against Principle VI explicitly: it turns "prior versions remain
+retrievable" from an aspiration into a mechanical guarantee (a query, not a promise), which is
+exactly what durable audit/history is supposed to mean in this codebase.

+for the Phase 4 feature that actually needs them, matching this codebase's established pattern of
+building only what the current phase requires (e.g. `identity/auth`, `orchestration/*` remain
+untouched stubs from the original scaffold).

+# Quickstart: Validating Product Knowledge Management & Retrieval
+
+Prerequisites: a registered `Product` (from 002-saas-integration's admin endpoints or seeded
+directly), migrations applied.
+
+## Scenario 1 — draft is invisible, publish makes it retrievable (User Story 1)
+
+1. Create a knowledge entry for a product. **Expected**: `status: draft`.
+2. Query `/knowledge/retrieve?productId=...`. **Expected**: entry absent.
+3. Publish it. **Expected**: `status: published`.
+4. Query retrieval again. **Expected**: entry present.
+
+## Scenario 2 — editing preserves history (User Story 1)
+
+1. Edit the published entry's content with the correct `expectedVersion`.
+2. **Expected**: a new version is created (`version: 2`); `GET .../versions` shows both version 1
+   (with its original content) and version 2 (current).
+3. Query retrieval. **Expected**: only version 2's content appears — version 1 is not retrievable
+   live, only through the admin history view.
+
+## Scenario 3 — a stale edit is rejected (Edge Cases / concurrency)
+
+1. Read the entry's current `version`.
+2. Attempt two edits using the same `expectedVersion`.
+3. **Expected**: exactly one succeeds; the other receives `409 CONFLICT`.
+
+## Scenario 4 — known issue resolves by error code (User Story 2)
+
+1. Create an error code (e.g. `LAYOUT_PARSE_042`).
+2. Create a known issue referencing it.
+3. `GET .../known-issues/by-error-code/LAYOUT_PARSE_042`. **Expected**: the known issue is
+   returned directly, no search step needed.
+
+## Scenario 5 — a runbook's step order is preserved exactly (User Story 2)
+
+1. Create a runbook with an explicit ordered step list.
+2. Look it up by key. **Expected**: steps are returned in the exact authored order.
+3. Deactivate it. **Expected**: lookup by key no longer returns it (treated the same as
+   nonexistent).
+
+## Scenario 6 — retrieval never crosses product scope, and validated ranks first (User Story 3)
+
+1. Seed a published entry for Product A and a published entry for Product B with similar content.
+2. Query retrieval scoped to Product A. **Expected**: only Product A's entry appears.
+3. Seed two otherwise-equal entries for the same product, one `validated`, one `unvalidated`.
+4. Query retrieval. **Expected**: the validated entry appears first in the result order.
+
+## What "done" looks like
+
+All six scenarios pass, and together they demonstrate every functional requirement and success
+criterion in `spec.md` without needing to read the implementation to know what "correct" means.

+# Phase 0 Research: Product Knowledge Management & Retrieval
+
+## Decision: Versioning mechanism — new row per version, not in-place overwrite
+
+- **Decision**: `docs/06-database-schema.md`'s `KnowledgeEntry`/`Runbook` models are explicitly
+  "conceptual/pseudo-Prisma... refine field types... during Phase 1 modeling" — their flat
+  `version Int` field alone doesn't satisfy this feature's FR-004/FR-009 ("prior versions MUST
+  remain retrievable"), since a plain in-place `UPDATE` overwrites history. This feature refines
+  the schema: each edit inserts a **new row** sharing the same logical identifier (`code` for
+  `KnowledgeEntry`, `key`+`productId` for `Runbook`) with `version` incremented, and exactly one
+  row per logical identifier has `isCurrentVersion: true` at a time. The unique constraint moves
+  from a bare `code`/`key` to `(code, version)` / `(key, productId, version)`; a partial-unique-
+  style application check (see next decision) keeps only one current version.
+- **Rationale**: This is the standard "immutable version history" pattern and directly satisfies
+  "prior versions remain retrievable by their own identity" (FR-004) without a separate audit
+  table — the versions themselves ARE the history, consistent with Constitution Principle VI.
+- **Alternatives considered**: A separate `KnowledgeEntryVersion` history table with the main row
+  only ever holding "current" — rejected as more schema surface for the same guarantee; querying
+  "give me version 3 of KB-DQ-102" is equally simple either way, and one-table-per-entity-type
+  keeps retrieval queries (which only ever care about the current version) simpler.
+
+## Decision: Concurrency on edit — conditional update + insert, same class as 003-ticketing
+
+- **Decision**: Creating a new version is two steps inside one transaction: (1)
+  `UPDATE ... WHERE code = ? AND version = ? AND isCurrentVersion = true SET isCurrentVersion =
+  false` (the caller's `expectedVersion` must match the current row) — zero rows affected means a
+  concurrent edit already won, and this edit is rejected with `409 CONFLICT`; (2) only if step 1
+  affected exactly one row, insert the new current-version row.
+- **Rationale**: Directly reuses the optimistic-concurrency pattern already established in
+  003-ticketing's `Ticket.version` handling — same shape of problem (two admins editing the same
+  entry), same solution, no new concurrency-control concept introduced into the codebase.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Last-write-wins (no `expectedVersion` check) — rejected, would let
+  one admin's edit silently clobber another's without either of them knowing, which is exactly
+  what Constitution Principle VII's concurrency requirement exists to prevent.
+
+## Decision: Retrieval — structured filtering, no vector/embedding search
+
+- **Decision**: A retrieval query is `WHERE productId = ? AND isCurrentVersion = true AND status
+  = 'published' AND (effectiveDate IS NULL OR effectiveDate <= now()) AND (feature filter if
+  given) AND (categoryScope filter if given)`, ordered by `validationStatus = 'validated'` first,
+  then by `effectiveDate DESC` (most recently published first) as a simple, defensible tiebreak.
+- **Rationale**: Per spec.md's Assumptions and doc 11 §B1, full semantic retrieval is explicitly
+  a future decision (embedding model, chunking, re-ranking) — this feature's job is a correct,
+  real, *filtered* retrieval contract that a semantic layer can be added in front of later
+  without changing what "correct" means (doc 11 §B1's "filters apply before the vector search"
+  requirement is satisfied by construction, since there's no vector search yet to apply them
+  before).
+- **Alternatives considered**: Postgres full-text search (`tsvector`/`tsquery`) on
+  problem/symptoms text — considered as a nearer-term relevance improvement, but deferred: it
+  would still not be "the RAG layer" doc 03 describes, adds index/query complexity beyond what
+  this phase's requirements (FR-011 through FR-013) actually ask for, and can be added later as
+  a ranking refinement without a breaking contract change.
+
+## Decision: Known issue lookup by error code
+
+- **Decision**: `KnownIssue.errorCodeId` is a nullable FK to `ErrorCode`; lookup is a direct
+  `WHERE errorCodeId = ?` query (via the `ErrorCode`'s own id, resolved from its `code` string
+  first if the caller only has the string).
+- **Rationale**: Matches doc 06's shape exactly (`KnownIssue.errorCodeId String?`) and FR-007's
+  "retrieve a known issue directly by its error code" — a simple indexed FK lookup, no special
+  design needed.
+
+## Decision: Module placement — new `ai-support/knowledge` module group
+
+- **Decision**: Create `src/modules/ai-support/knowledge/` now, following the standard module
+  shape (controller/routes/schema/repository/service/types/mapper/constants/index.ts) used by
+  every other module in this codebase. No other `ai-support` submodule
+  (agents/sessions/diagnosis/troubleshooting/tools/tool-execution/verification/escalation) is
+  created — those remain nonexistent until the Phase 4 feature that needs them, matching how
+  `identity/auth` and most of `orchestration`/`platform` remain untouched placeholder stubs from
+  the original scaffold rather than being pre-built speculatively.
+- **Rationale**: Doc 07 explicitly places `knowledge` inside the `ai-support` group — this is
+  the documented, correct location, not an open design choice.
+- **Alternatives considered**: Placing it under `catalog` (since it's product-scoped content,
+  similar to `catalog/products`/`catalog/categories`) — rejected; doc 07 already answers this
+  question, and following it keeps the module layout matching the architecture doc exactly.
+
+## Decision: Admin endpoint authentication
+
+- **Decision**: All admin CRUD endpoints (create/publish/unpublish/version-edit for knowledge
+  entries and runbooks; create for error codes/known issues) are gated by the existing
+  `fastify.authenticate` decorator — same known-limitation pattern as 002/003's admin routes (it
+  doesn't perform real JWT verification yet).
+- **Rationale**: Consistency with every other admin surface built so far; introducing a different
+  auth mechanism just for this feature would be inconsistent without a reason to be.
+- **Alternatives considered**: None — this follows established precedent directly.

+# Feature Specification: Product Knowledge Management & Retrieval
+
+**Feature Branch**: `004-product-knowledge`
+
+**Created**: 2026-09-02
+
+**Status**: Draft
+
+**Input**: User description: "Phase 3 of docs/10-implementation-roadmap.md: Knowledge/KnownIssue/
+ErrorCode/Runbook models, admin CRUD, versioning + publish state, retrieval (RAG) layer. Per
+docs/03-ai-support-architecture.md section 2-3 and docs/06-database-schema.md."
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - An admin authors, versions, and publishes knowledge entries (Priority: P1)
+
+An administrator creates a knowledge entry for a product (a known issue, FAQ, resolution
+procedure, or operations note), scoped to the right product/feature/category. The entry starts
+as a draft, invisible to retrieval. When the admin publishes it, it becomes eligible for
+retrieval from its effective date onward. Editing a published entry creates a new version rather
+than silently rewriting history, and the admin can mark an entry as validated once it's been
+confirmed to actually work.
+
+**Why this priority**: Nothing else in this feature (or the future AI-support feature that
+depends on it) has anything to retrieve until knowledge exists, is scoped correctly, and has a
+trustworthy draft/published/validated lifecycle — retrieving an unreviewed draft as if it were
+trustworthy guidance would be worse than retrieving nothing.
+
+**Independent Test**: Create a draft knowledge entry, confirm it's not retrievable; publish it,
+confirm it becomes retrievable from its effective date; edit it, confirm the edit produces a new
+version and the prior version remains inspectable.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an admin creates a knowledge entry, **When** it's saved without being published,
+   **Then** it exists with `status: draft` and is never returned by any retrieval query.
+2. **Given** a draft entry, **When** an admin publishes it with an effective date, **Then** it
+   becomes eligible for retrieval starting at that date — not before.
+3. **Given** a published entry, **When** an admin edits its content, **Then** the edit is
+   recorded as a new version (incrementing `version`), and the entry's prior content remains
+   retrievable by version rather than being overwritten.
+4. **Given** a published entry, **When** an admin marks it `validationStatus: validated`,
+   **Then** that status is visible on every retrieval result that includes it.
+5. **Given** a published entry, **When** an admin unpublishes it, **Then** it immediately stops
+   being returned by retrieval, without being deleted.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Known issues, error codes, and runbooks are modeled as first-class, product-scoped records (Priority: P2)
+
+Beyond general knowledge entries, an admin can catalog specific known issues (linked to a
+structured error code) and author runbooks — ordered, versioned step sequences for a specific
+problem type. These are distinct from freeform knowledge entries because they're referenced
+structurally (by error code, by runbook key) rather than only found through search.
+
+**Why this priority**: Knowledge entries alone (User Story 1) already deliver standalone value —
+this story adds the structured lookup paths (a specific error code, a specific runbook key) doc
+03's example ("searches: feature documentation → error catalog → known issues → troubleshooting →
+runbooks") depends on, but a knowledge base without them is still useful.
+
+**Independent Test**: Create an error code and a known issue referencing it; look the known issue
+up by error code and confirm it resolves; create a runbook with an ordered step sequence for a
+product; look it up by its key and confirm the exact step order is preserved.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an admin creates an error code for a product, **When** it's saved, **Then** it has a
+   unique, product-scoped code (e.g. `LAYOUT_PARSE_042`) and a description.
+2. **Given** an existing error code, **When** an admin creates a known issue referencing it,
+   **Then** the known issue can be looked up directly by that error code.
+3. **Given** an admin creates a runbook for a product with an ordered list of steps, **When** it's
+   saved, **Then** the step order is preserved exactly as authored — never reordered or
+   deduplicated by the system.
+4. **Given** an existing runbook, **When** an admin edits its steps, **Then** the edit is recorded
+   as a new version, matching User Story 1's versioning behavior for knowledge entries.
+5. **Given** a runbook, **When** an admin deactivates it, **Then** it's excluded from lookup
+   without being deleted — the same active/inactive convention as User Story 1's publish state.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Retrieval returns only relevant, filtered, validation-aware knowledge for a given context (Priority: P3)
+
+Given a product, and optionally a feature/category/problem-type context, a retrieval query
+returns only the knowledge entries that are published, past their effective date, and scoped to
+that context — never an unfiltered dump of everything in the knowledge base. When both a
+validated and an unvalidated entry are otherwise equally relevant, the validated one is
+preferred.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is what makes the knowledge base actually usable by a future
+caller (the AI-support feature) instead of just an admin content library — but it depends on
+User Stories 1 and 2 existing first, and doc 03 itself frames full semantic retrieval as a later
+design decision (see Assumptions), so this story delivers the retrieval *contract* now without
+requiring a vector/embedding pipeline to exist yet.
+
+**Independent Test**: Seed knowledge entries across two different products, query retrieval
+scoped to one product, and confirm only that product's published, effective entries are
+returned — never the other product's, never drafts, never entries not yet effective; seed one
+validated and one unvalidated entry that are otherwise equally relevant, and confirm the
+validated one is ranked first.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** knowledge entries across multiple products, **When** a retrieval query is scoped to
+   one product, **Then** only that product's entries are ever returned.
+2. **Given** a mix of draft and published entries, **When** a retrieval query runs, **Then**
+   drafts are never returned, regardless of how well they'd otherwise match.
+3. **Given** a published entry whose effective date is in the future, **When** a retrieval query
+   runs before that date, **Then** the entry is not returned.
+4. **Given** a validated and an unvalidated entry that both match a query, **When** results are
+   returned, **Then** the validated entry is ranked ahead of the unvalidated one.
+5. **Given** a retrieval query with no matches, **When** it runs, **Then** it returns an empty
+   result — never an error, and never a fallback to unrelated knowledge.

+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when an admin tries to publish a knowledge entry with no content (empty
+  problem/solution fields)? Out of scope for strict validation here — this feature stores what's
+  given; a content-quality review workflow is not part of this phase.
+- What happens when two knowledge entries could both plausibly answer the same query (e.g. a
+  known issue and a general FAQ)? Both are returned if both match the filters — ranking beyond
+  validation-status preference (User Story 3 Scenario 4) is explicitly not solved here; true
+  relevance ranking is the future semantic-retrieval work in Assumptions.
+- What happens when a runbook is looked up by a key that doesn't exist, or exists but is
+  inactive? It's treated as not found either way — an inactive runbook is not distinguishable
+  from a nonexistent one to a retrieval caller, only to an admin managing it directly.
+- What happens when an error code is deleted while a known issue still references it? Out of
+  scope — this feature doesn't implement deletion of error codes that have active references;
+  only unpublish/deactivate operations are defined (Scenarios above), matching the rest of the
+  system's "never hard-delete support-domain records" convention.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: The system MUST let an admin create a knowledge entry scoped to a product, and
+  optionally to a feature and one or more categories.
+- **FR-002**: A knowledge entry MUST have a `status` of `draft`, `published`, or `unpublished`,
+  and MUST default to `draft` on creation.
+- **FR-003**: A knowledge entry MUST only be returned by retrieval when its status is
+  `published` AND its effective date is at or before the current time.
+- **FR-004**: Editing a published knowledge entry's content MUST create a new version
+  (incrementing a version counter) rather than overwriting the existing version in place; prior
+  versions MUST remain retrievable by their own identity.
+- **FR-005**: A knowledge entry MUST carry a `validationStatus` (`unvalidated` or `validated`),
+  independently settable by an admin from its publish status.
+- **FR-006**: The system MUST let an admin create an error code scoped to a product, unique
+  within that product.
+- **FR-007**: The system MUST let an admin create a known issue referencing an error code, and
+  retrieve a known issue directly by its error code.
+- **FR-008**: The system MUST let an admin create a runbook for a product as an ordered list of
+  steps, preserving the authored order exactly.
+- **FR-009**: Editing a runbook's steps MUST create a new version, matching FR-004's behavior for
+  knowledge entries.
+- **FR-010**: A runbook MUST have an active/inactive state; lookup by key MUST NOT return an
+  inactive runbook, and MUST NOT distinguish "inactive" from "does not exist" in its response.
+- **FR-011**: A retrieval query MUST be scoped to at least a product, and MAY be further filtered
+  by feature and/or category; it MUST NEVER return entries outside the specified product scope.
+- **FR-012**: A retrieval query MUST NEVER return a `draft` or `unpublished` entry, or an entry
+  whose effective date has not yet arrived.
+- **FR-013**: When multiple retrieved entries are otherwise equally relevant to a query, entries
+  with `validationStatus: validated` MUST be ranked ahead of unvalidated ones.
+- **FR-014**: Every knowledge entry MUST carry `owner` and `lastReview` fields an admin can set,
+  supporting future staleness detection — this feature does not implement staleness detection
+  itself, only the fields it depends on.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Knowledge Entry**: A versioned, product-scoped piece of guidance (known issue, FAQ,
+  resolution procedure, or operations note) with a draft/published/unpublished lifecycle, a
+  validation status, and retrieval-filtering scope (product/feature/category).
+- **Error Code**: A structured, product-scoped error identifier (e.g. `LAYOUT_PARSE_042`) with a
+  description, referenced by known issues.
+- **Known Issue**: A product-scoped problem record, optionally linked to an Error Code,
+  describing a recognized issue and its status.
+- **Runbook**: A versioned, ordered sequence of troubleshooting steps for a product, looked up by
+  a stable key, with an active/inactive state — the step *sequence itself* is data owned by this
+  feature; *executing* a runbook against a live conversation is the future AI-support feature's
+  job, not this one's.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: 100% of draft knowledge entries are absent from every retrieval query result,
+  verified across every entry type.
+- **SC-002**: 100% of retrieval queries scoped to one product return zero entries belonging to
+  any other product.
+- **SC-003**: An admin can publish a knowledge entry and have it appear in retrieval results
+  within the same request cycle — no propagation delay.
+- **SC-004**: Editing a published entry never loses the prior version's content — it remains
+  retrievable by an admin after the edit, 100% of the time.
+- **SC-005**: A validated entry is ranked ahead of an equally-matching unvalidated one in 100% of
+  retrieval results that include both.
+- **SC-006**: A known issue is resolvable by its error code in a single lookup, without a
+  separate search step.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- **Full semantic (embedding/vector) retrieval is explicitly out of scope for this feature** —
+  per `docs/11-architect-additions-gaps-and-recommendations.md` §B1, the embedding model,
+  chunking strategy, and re-ranking approach are technical decisions for the future AI-support
+  feature (Phase 4) to make, not this one. This feature implements retrieval as structured,
+  deterministic filtering (product/feature/category scope, status, effective date,
+  validation-status preference) — a real, usable retrieval contract, not a placeholder — that a
+  future semantic layer can sit in front of without changing the underlying data model or the
+  guarantee that filters apply before any ranking (doc 11 §B1's explicit ordering requirement).
+- Runbook *execution* (the workflow engine that controls which step is permitted next during a
+  live AI conversation, per `docs/03-ai-support-architecture.md` §6) is explicitly out of scope —
+  this feature only stores and versions the step data; the future AI-support feature interprets
+  and executes it.
+- Content-quality validation (e.g. requiring non-empty fields before publish) is not enforced by
+  this feature — an admin can publish sparse content; a content-review workflow is not part of
+  this phase.
+- Deletion of knowledge entries, error codes, known issues, or runbooks is out of scope — only
+  publish/unpublish and active/inactive state changes are defined, consistent with this system's
+  broader convention of never silently losing support-domain history.
