docs(roadmap): turn Phase 02b from a diagnosis into a gated plan - #20
Conversation
Four pre-development reviews read the phase and agreed on the shape of the problem: the document diagnosed the events subsystem accurately and was not yet a plan. Three of its four "Correction" sections described defects the corpus had already repaired — architecture/15 withdrew the double-dispatch invariant and specified the lease, and Packet 5 shipped the abstract PartitionKey — so a reviewer checking those deliverables found nothing to do. Meanwhile the choices that fix a schema, a transaction shape and a token contract were left to "the packet", and a third of Scope had no observable completion criterion. What replaces it: an inherited-baseline section that says what is already decided and links its owner rather than restating it; an explicit not-in-this-phase list where every deferral names its owning phase, and every building block its port, default implementation and trigger; a nine-packet sequence; a twenty-row decision register that states each open question, the vehicle this repository's rules require for the answer to count, and the packet it blocks; and Deliverables, Criteria, Risks and Exit rewritten so each criterion is something a named test can fail. The register decides nothing. Where the corpus already answered — the lease, and the rule that only the owning frame writes and reconciles — the phase now carries that answer instead of re-opening it; where it has not, the question is a gate with its amendment named and Accepted before the code it governs. Three carriers are reconciled with decisions that are already Accepted, which is why they ride along: Phase 11 verifies the claim protocol and the dead-letter contract rather than rebuilding what architecture/15 assigns to 02b, and gains the /readyz deliverable and the outbox/inbox purge its own prose already implied; decisions/README reserves 0046 and 0047 against Phase 02b; and the roadmap index takes the phase's new title, which had omitted background jobs.

Reviewer's GuideThis documentation-only PR transforms Phase 02b from a defect-focused description into a dependency-ordered, decision-gated implementation plan. It records inherited architecture, exposes unresolved cross-document contradictions, assigns each open question to an ADR or standards vehicle, defines nine packets and 20 blocking gates, and reconciles Phase 11 and roadmap index ownership without making the pending decisions themselves.

**nitpick:** The phase says it registers no job and that the first jobs arrive in Phase 04 and Phase 08a, but Phase 11 already specifies two Hangfire audit jobs (`learnstack:audit:partition-management` and `learnstack:audit:retention-purge`). This makes the stated chronology and ownership of the first job definitions false or ambiguous.
**Suggested fix:** Qualify this as the first product-domain job definitions, or list the Phase 11 audit jobs as an earlier/later exception and reconcile the ownership wording.

Three findings from review, each verified against the files before acting. Phase 11's Completion Criteria required an integration event to be "consumed exactly once by a subscriber in another process". Nothing in the corpus promises that: the glossary and Events and Outbox both state at-least-once delivery with consumer-side idempotency through IInboxGuard, which is the contract this change's Phase 02b rewrite leans on throughout. A cross-process transport does not change it. The criterion now asserts at-least-once delivery plus the observable that matters — a forced redelivery of the same envelope producing exactly one effective business side effect — and says the retry and dead-letter contract it exercises is Phase 02b's, unchanged. The three Scope bullets this change added to Phase 11 had no matching Completion Criteria, which is the same traceability defect the Phase 02b reviews found in Phase 02b. Each now has one: two dispatcher processes in separate pods with lease-duration tuning and a paging lost-lease alert; per-counter dead-letter alert thresholds that fire on a seeded terminal row and not on ordinary retry, with replay under contention; and a purge running under a principal the platform-admin gate admits rather than the dispatcher's credential, against an inbox retention floor of at least the maximum redelivery window. Phase 02b's "registers no job" bullet said the first jobs arrive in Phase 04 and Phase 08a. That chronology is correct — both precede Phase 11 in the dependency map — but it read as though jobs exist only there, when Phase 11 implements ADR-0028's two audit jobs. The sharper point is why that matters: those two are tenantless, and they meet an enqueue guard that refuses a payload with no tenant, which is what G9's platform-job class has to settle. The bullet now says so. Two requests in the review are not taken. A criterion per fair-share control would expand a section this change does not touch, and § Resource fairness already has a criterion plus an exit line. And the Phase Exit Decision already opens "when all of the following hold" and closes "there is no third option", so a further requirement that it depend on the Completion Criteria adds a clause without adding a gate.

Brings the branch up to date with PR #19 so the gate can evaluate it. Merged rather than rebased: review has started on this pull request and a force-push would orphan the reviewer's line anchors, which [Git Workflow](docs/standards/14-git-workflow.md) lists as a validation item.

Each finding was re-verified against the files and the code before acting. G1's vehicle named ADR-0006 and stopped there. ADR-0010 § Idempotency makes two things mandatory that the shared-table leaning changes — the inbox is "the module's own inbox table", and the guard is called by the consumer — and the catalogued Integration_Event_Handlers_Use_InboxGuard is a structural rule that looks for that call inside the handler. A transport-claimed delivery that reconciled only the listed documents would leave two Accepted contracts in conflict and fail a required rule while being correct. Both are now in the gate's vehicle, with the rule's assertion re-written in the same record. Login on the two seed hosts needed a transport nobody named. The hosts are *.learnstack.local, the session cookie is mandatorily Secure, and the frontend's dev script serves plain HTTP — so the cookie this phase sets would be accepted and never sent back, and a stub route test that inspects the Set-Cookie header would not notice. G12 now asks for the transport, § Login topology states the constraint and forbids dropping Secure, and the criterion asserts the round trip on each real host rather than the header. The token-keyed rate limit was specified as a stage after authentication, over a shipped global limiter that partitions every request on the socket peer at the anonymous budget and runs before authentication. Two users behind one BFF share that quota, and a request it rejects never reaches a token stage, so the criterion as written could not pass. G14 now covers what happens to the early stage once a caller is validated, and the criterion runs the whole middleware chain from one peer address. Seven of the review's suggestions are taken in the same pass, each closing a hole this change introduced: the producer dead-letter's audit success and its audit failure are now separate criteria, matching the subscriber side; the domain-event failure criterion this rewrite had dropped is back, with the cancellation case for the per-delivery deadline; the session criterion counts one logical session version rather than one Set-Cookie header, which a chunking adapter can exceed while behaving correctly; Phase 11's dead-letter operability names the job counter beside the two event counters and drives a real terminal transition rather than a seeded row; the inbox retention floor is split so 02b states the replay contract and Phase 11 picks the interval; G7 records that a resolution splitting the transition from its MUST row across transactions needs a superseding record, not an amendment; and G19 notes that a provisioning event needs its own proof, because provisioning leaves ITenantContext unresolved. Two requests are not taken. The accessibility timeout warning belongs to the phase that ships a rendered surface, and Standards 16 already binds it. And a criterion per fair-share control would expand a section this change does not touch, which already has a criterion and an exit line.

Three inline findings, each checked against the carrier before acting. The producer dead-letter alert had a cumulative threshold, and Events and Outbox § Producer side is explicit that "the alert is on the counter's rate, not on the table's size". A criterion satisfied by a cumulative count does not observe the shape the architecture requires, so the producer alert now carries a named rate window. The real-terminal-transition condition this change already added is kept, and the subscriber and job alerts keep their own thresholds; the three are asserted separately rather than as one clause. Recovery was one clause covering all three domains, which the same section rules out: "the two sides fail independently and need separate handling", and the job side is a third. Each path now has its own case and its own expected single effect — a producer-side replay resetting the row for the next poll with the consumer's guard absorbing the duplicate, a subscriber-side replay reaching one (event, consumer) pair and no other with a late success absorbed by IInboxGuard, and a terminal job recovered by requeue. The /readyz criterion said "a registered check" while this change's own Deliverable names two checks and a serving window. It now reads both audit and outbox, reports unhealthy when either fails, and enforces the configured unhealthy-serving window. The routing-stop and /healthz liveness assertions are unchanged.

Summary
docs/roadmap/phase-02b-events-auth.md(469 → 1282 lines) from four pre-development reviews. Three of its four "Correction" sections described defects the corpus had already repaired —architecture/15withdrew the "no double dispatch" invariant and specified the lease, and Packet 5 shipped the abstractPartitionKey— so those sections now state what the phase inherits and link the owner instead of restating it. The one defect still open, the realm's missingtenant_idclaim, keeps its#### Correction.P02b-0writes no code.LS0002.architecture/15assigns to 02b, and gains the/readyzdeliverable and the outbox/inbox purge its own prose already implied;decisions/READMEreserves ADR-0046 and ADR-0047 against Phase 02b; the roadmap index takes the phase's new title, which had omitted background jobs.The register decides nothing. Where the corpus already answered — the lease is the specified design; only the owning frame writes, signals and reconciles — the phase now carries that answer instead of re-opening it as a choice. Where it has not, the question is a gate whose amendment is named and Accepted before the code it governs.
Method
Every citation in the three review documents was re-opened at
HEADbefore acting, because all three were written ata448ff7and the corpus had since moved through Packet 10 (Standards 21 grew ~1071 lines; the*Probes.csplanted-offender convention landed;phase-02are-homed the HangfireJobActivator). That pass found findings already closed and reviews that were themselves wrong — one claimed both ADR-0036 carriers "omit row 10" when the erratum names it three times; another claimed a shipped test "asserts a constant and cannot fail" when it had demonstrably caught a real defect. The rewrite was then put through an independent adversarial review whose findings were each attacked before being applied; 41 corrections landed from it, including one blocker in my own draft (below).Notable finding, found in this rewrite
The draft asserted both sides of a live corpus contradiction as adjacent completion criteria: the catalogued
Backend_RequiresJwt_OnAllAuthenticatedRoutes(booked to Phase 02b) says every endpoint outside the public allow-list answers401without a bearer token, while ADR-0036 matrix row 2 requires a404byte-identical to an unknown host's. Both cannot hold for the same request, and the defaultUseAuthorizationwiring answers the one the matrix forbids. That is now G20, with thetenant_mismatch/not_foundcode split the shipped assertion middleware assigns to this phase by name, and one criterion instead of two.Test plan

ADR-0036 Amendment 8by G11, G20 and conditionally G9, which can be one amendment;ADR-0033by both G6 and G7;ADR-0006by G4 plus three conditional branches — so whichever lands second takes the next number.architecture/15already says the choice "is made once, in Phase 02b", so this reconciles Phase 11 with that sentence rather than changing an owner.CONTRIBUTINGnames the branch-protection edit as the one remaining step, and the phase now takes it inP02b-8rather than leaving the exit gate resting on a check that cannot block a merge.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
