+
+## 1. Database Schema & Entities
+
+### 1.1 Current Core Tables
+
+#### **usernames** (`20250219000000_create_usernames_table.sql`)
+Stores Stellar username registrations for `quickex.to/username` URLs.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE usernames (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  username TEXT NOT NULL,                           -- Normalized (lowercase)
+  public_key TEXT NOT NULL,                         -- Stellar public key (owner)
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  CONSTRAINT usernames_username_unique UNIQUE (username),
+  CONSTRAINT usernames_username_lowercase CHECK (username = lower(username))
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX usernames_public_key_idx ON usernames (public_key);
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- One-to-many: one public_key can own multiple usernames (if quota allows)
+- Uniqueness enforced at DB level to prevent race conditions
+- Identifier: public_key (Stellar account)
+
+---
+
+#### **api_keys** (`20260328000000_create_api_keys_table.sql`)
+API key management for developer authentication.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE api_keys (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  key_hash TEXT NOT NULL,                           -- bcrypt hash
+  key_prefix TEXT NOT NULL,                         -- first 11 chars (for fast lookup)
+  scopes TEXT[] NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}',              -- Granular permissions
+  owner_id TEXT,                                    -- Optional: wallet or user ID
+  is_active BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true,
+  request_count INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+  monthly_quota INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 10000,
+  last_used_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
+  
+  -- Rotation support (24-hour overlap)
+  key_hash_old TEXT,                                -- Old hash during rotation
+  rotated_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
+  last_reset_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT now(),
+  
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now()
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_api_keys_prefix ON api_keys (key_prefix) WHERE is_active = true;
+CREATE INDEX idx_api_keys_owner_id ON api_keys (owner_id) WHERE is_active = true;
+```
+
+**Scopes:**
+```
+'links:read'       -- Query link metadata
+'links:write'      -- Create/manage links
+'transactions:read'-- Query transactions
+'usernames:read'   -- Search usernames
+'refunds:write'    -- Initiate refunds
+'admin'            -- Administrative operations
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Quota reset monthly
+- Soft-delete via `is_active` flag
+- Rotation with 24-hour overlap period
+- Usage tracking (requests per month)
+
+---
+
+#### **notification_preferences** (`20250225000001_create_notification_tables.sql`)
+Per-user, per-channel notification subscription settings.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE notification_preferences (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  public_key TEXT NOT NULL,                         -- Stellar public key (subscriber)
+  channel TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (channel IN ('email', 'push', 'webhook', 'telegram')),
+  
+  -- Channel-specific destination
+  email TEXT,                                       -- For email channel
+  push_token TEXT,                                  -- Expo token for push
+  webhook_url TEXT,                                 -- For webhook delivery
+  
+  events TEXT[] DEFAULT NULL,                       -- Subscribed event types (null=all)
+  min_amount_stroops BIGINT DEFAULT 0,              -- Amount threshold filter
+  enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT TRUE,
+  
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  
+  CONSTRAINT notification_preferences_unique UNIQUE (public_key, channel)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX notification_preferences_public_key_idx ON notification_preferences (public_key);
+```
+
+**Example Events:**
+- `EscrowDeposited` (contract event)
+- `payment.received` (transaction event)
+
+---
+
+#### **notification_log** (`20250225000001_create_notification_tables.sql`)
+Append-only delivery audit trail for notifications.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE notification_log (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  public_key TEXT NOT NULL,
+  channel TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (channel IN ('email', 'push', 'webhook', 'telegram')),
+  event_type TEXT NOT NULL,                         -- Event name
+  event_id TEXT NOT NULL,                           -- paging_token or tx_hash
+  
+  status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending'
+    CHECK (status IN ('pending', 'sent', 'failed')),
+  attempts INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+  last_error TEXT,
+  provider_message_id TEXT,                         -- Provider's message ID
+  
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  
+  CONSTRAINT notification_log_unique UNIQUE (public_key, channel, event_id, event_type)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX notification_log_public_key_idx ON notification_log (public_key);
+CREATE INDEX notification_log_status_idx ON notification_log (status);
+```
+
+---
+
+#### **telegram_user_mappings** (`20260328000001_create_telegram_bot_tables.sql`)
+Telegram bot integration for notifications.
+
+```sql

+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  telegram_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
+  username TEXT,                                    -- Telegram username
+  public_key TEXT NOT NULL,                         -- Stellar public key
+  
+  is_verified BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT false,
+  verification_code TEXT,                           -- One-time code
+  
+  enabled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true,
+  min_amount_stroops BIGINT DEFAULT 0,
+  
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  ...
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+#### **refund_attempts** & **refund_audit_log** (`20260425000000_create_refund_tables.sql`)
+Refund workflow with idempotency and audit trail.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE refund_attempts (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  idempotency_key TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,             -- For idempotency

+```
+
+---
+
+#### **feature_flags** (`20260428000000_create_feature_flags_and_admin_audit.sql`)
+Feature flag management system.
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE feature_flags (

+```
+

+
+### 1.2 Critical Observation: NO Organizations/Tenants
+
+**Current Architecture is Single-Tenant:**
+
+- ✗ No `organization_id` column in any table
+- ✗ All data keyed by **Stellar public key** as the only identifier
+- ✗ No multi-tenant isolation at the database layer
+- ✓ `api_keys.owner_id` is optional and used for tracking, not enforcing tenant context
+- ✗ Webhook/notification subscriptions tied directly to public_key
+
+**Implications:**
+
+- Currently: 1 Stellar account = 1 "user" in the system
+- To support multi-tenancy: Need to introduce organizations as first-class entities
+- All queries must be updated to filter by `organization_id`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Authentication & Middleware Patterns
+
+### 2.1 API Key Guard
+
+**Location:** `src/auth/guards/api-key.guard.ts`
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class ApiKeyGuard implements CanActivate {
+  async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
+    const request = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
+    const rawKey: string | undefined = request.headers["x-api-key"];
+
+    if (!rawKey) return true; // Public access allowed
+
+    const result = await this.apiKeysService.validateKey(rawKey);
+
+    if (!result) {
+      throw new UnauthorizedException({
+        error: "INVALID_API_KEY",
+        message: "API key is invalid",
+      });
+    }
+
+    const { record, hasScope } = result;
+
+    if (this.apiKeysService.isOverQuota(record)) {
+      throw new ForbiddenException({
+        error: "QUOTA_EXCEEDED",
+        message: "Monthly request quota exceeded",
+      });
+    }
+
+    // Check required scopes
+    const requiredScopes = this.reflector.getAllAndOverride<ApiKeyScope[]>(
+      REQUIRED_SCOPES_KEY,
+      [context.getHandler(), context.getClass()]
+    ) ?? [];
+
+    for (const scope of requiredScopes) {
+      if (!hasScope(scope)) {
+        throw new ForbiddenException({
+          error: "INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE",
+          message: `API key missing required scope: ${scope}`,
+        });
+      }
+    }
+
+    // Attach to request
+    request.apiKey = {
+      id: record.id,
+      name: record.name,
+      scopes: record.scopes,
+      rateLimit: throttlerConfig.groups.authenticated.sustained.limit,
+    };
+
+    return true;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Flow:**
+1. Extract `X-API-Key` header (optional)
+2. If present, validate against bcrypt hash (prefix lookup, then full comparison)
+3. Check quota (monthly reset)
+4. Check required scopes via `@RequireScopes()` decorator
+5. Attach API key record to `request.apiKey`
+
+**Validation Logic** (`src/api-keys/api-keys.service.ts`):
+
+```typescript
+async validateKey(rawKey: string) {
+  const prefix = rawKey.slice(0, 11); // "qx_" + 8 chars
+  const candidates = await this.repo.findByPrefix(prefix);
+
+  for (const record of candidates) {
+    // Try current hash
+    const isCurrentMatch = await bcrypt.compare(rawKey, record.key_hash);
+
+    // Try old hash within 24-hour overlap window
+    let isOldMatch = false;
+    if (!isCurrentMatch && record.key_hash_old && record.rotated_at) {
+      const overlapMs = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
+      if (now - rotatedAt < overlapMs) {
+        isOldMatch = await bcrypt.compare(rawKey, record.key_hash_old);
+      }
+    }
+
+    if (isCurrentMatch || isOldMatch) {
+      // Fire-and-forget usage increment
+      this.repo.incrementUsage(record.id).catch(err => 
+        this.logger.warn(`Failed to increment usage: ${err}`)
+      );
+      
+      return {
+        record,
+        hasScope: (scope: ApiKeyScope) => record.scopes.includes(scope)
+      };
+    }
+  }
+
+  return null;
+}
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Prefix-based lookup for performance (B-tree index)
+- bcrypt comparison (expensive, but only on candidates)
+- 24-hour rotation overlap for zero-downtime key rotation
+- Usage tracking is async (fire-and-forget)
+
+---
+
+### 2.2 Custom Throttler Guard
+
+**Location:** `src/auth/guards/custom-throttler.guard.ts`
+
+Extends NestJS `ThrottlerGuard` with custom logic.
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class CustomThrottlerGuard extends ThrottlerGuard {
+  protected async handleRequest(
+    requestProps: ThrottlerRequest
+  ): Promise<boolean> {
+    const { context, throttler } = requestProps;
+    const req = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
+
+    // Resolve rate limit group
+    const group = this.resolveGroup(context, req);
+    // 'public' | 'authenticated' | 'webhooks'
+
+    // Resolve identity key
+    const window = throttler.name === THROTTLER_BURST_NAME ? 'burst' : 'sustained';
+    const windowConfig = throttlerConfig.groups[group][window];
+
+    // Store context for later inspection
+    req.rateLimitContext = {
+      group,
+      keyType: this.resolveIdentity(req).keyType,
+    };
+
+    try {
+      return await super.handleRequest({
+        ...requestProps,
+        limit: windowConfig.limit,
+        ttl: windowConfig.ttlMs,
+        throttler: {
+          ...throttler,
+          limit: windowConfig.limit,
+          ttl: windowConfig.ttlMs,
+        },
+      });
+    } catch (error) {
+      if (error instanceof ThrottlerException) {
+        const retryAfterSeconds = Math.ceil(windowConfig.ttlMs / 1000);
+        response.setHeader('Retry-After', retryAfterSeconds.toString());
+        // ... handle error
+      }
+    }
+  }
+
+  private resolveGroup(context, req): RateLimitGroup {
+    const rateLimitGroupMeta = this.reflector.get(
+      RATE_LIMIT_GROUP_METADATA_KEY,
+      context.getHandler()
+    );
+    
+    if (rateLimitGroupMeta) return rateLimitGroupMeta;
+    if (req.apiKey) return 'authenticated';
+    return 'public';
+  }
+
+  private resolveIdentity(req) {
+    if (req.apiKey?.id) {
+      return { keyType: 'api_key', key: req.apiKey.id };
+    }
+    if (req.user?.id) {
+      return { keyType: 'user_id', key: req.user.id };
+    }
+    return { keyType: 'ip', key: req.ip };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Rate Limit Groups:**
+
+```typescript
+{
+  public: {
+    burst: { limit: 20, ttlMs: 60_000 },      // 20 req/min
+    sustained: { limit: 100, ttlMs: 3_600_000 } // 100 req/hour
+  },
+  authenticated: {
+    burst: { limit: 120, ttlMs: 60_000 },     // 120 req/min
+    sustained: { limit: 600, ttlMs: 3_600_000 } // 600 req/hour
+  },
+  webhooks: {
+    burst: { limit: 50, ttlMs: 60_000 },
+    sustained: { limit: 300, ttlMs: 3_600_000 }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Two-window throttling: burst (1 min) + sustained (1 hour)
+- Identity resolution: API key > user ID > IP
+- Rate limit group can be customized per endpoint via `@RateLimitGroupTag()`
+- `Retry-After` header on 429 response
+
+---
+
+### 2.3 Request Context & Middleware
+
+#### **CorrelationIdMiddleware**
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class CorrelationIdMiddleware implements NestMiddleware {
+  use(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
+    const correlationId = 
+      req.header('x-request-id') || 
+      req.header('x-correlation-id') || 
+      uuidv4();
+    
+    res.setHeader('x-request-id', correlationId);
+    res.setHeader('x-correlation-id', correlationId);
+    req['correlationId'] = correlationId;
+    next();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Ensures all requests have a unique correlation ID for logging/tracing.
+
+---
+
+#### **MetricsMiddleware**
+
+Collects request metrics (status, latency, method, path).
+
+---
+
+### 2.4 Request Object Structure
+
+After guards/middleware, `request` contains:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  // From ApiKeyGuard
+  apiKey?: {
+    id: string,
+    name: string,
+    scopes: ApiKeyScope[],
+    rateLimit: number
+  },
+
+  // From CorrelationIdMiddleware
+  correlationId: string,
+
+  // From CustomThrottlerGuard
+  rateLimitContext: {
+    group: RateLimitGroup,
+    keyType: RateLimitKeyType
+  },
+
+  // Standard Express properties
+  headers: Record<string, string>,
+  params: Record<string, string>,
+  query: Record<string, any>,
+  body: Record<string, any>,
+  method: string,
+  path: string,
+  ip: string,
+  // ... etc
+}
+```
+
+**Key Observation:** No built-in user/subject principal beyond API key.
+
+---
+
+## 3. API Request/Response Structure
+
+### 3.1 Standard Response Envelope
+
+All successful API responses follow this pattern:
+
+```typescript
+{
+  success: boolean,
+  data: T,                          // Response payload
+  pagination?: {                    // Optional (for list endpoints)
+    next_cursor: string | null,
+    has_more: boolean,
+    limit: number
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Example (Link Metadata):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "amount": "50.5000000",
+    "memo": "Payment for service",
+    "memoType": "text",
+    "asset": "XLM",
+    "privacy": false,
+    "expiresAt": "2026-05-28T12:00:00.000Z",
+    "canonical": "amount=50.5000000&asset=XLM&memo=Payment%20for%20service",
+    "username": "john_doe",
+    "destination": "GABCD...XYZ",
+    "referenceId": "INV-12345",
+    "acceptedAssets": ["XLM", "USDC"],
+    "swapOptions": [
+      {
+        "destinationAsset": "USDC:GA...",
+        "path": ["XLM", "USDC"],
+        "rate": 0.95
+      }
+    ],
+    "metadata": {
+      "normalized": false,
+      "warnings": []
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3.2 Pagination: Cursor-Based
+
+Used for all list endpoints (no offset/limit).
+
+```typescript
+export interface CursorPaginationQueryDto {
+  cursor?: string;      // Opaque base64url-encoded JSON
+  limit?: number;       // Clamped to 1-100, default 20
+}
+
+export interface CursorPayload {
+  pk: string;           // Primary sort column value
+  id: string;           // UUID tiebreaker
+}
+
+// Encoded: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify({pk, id}), 'utf-8').toString('base64url')
+// Example: "eyJwayI6IjIwMjYtMDQtMjgiLCJpZCI6IjEyMzQ1Njc4In0"
+```
+
+**Response with pagination:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": [
+    { "id": "...", "name": "..." }
+  ],
+  "pagination": {
+    "next_cursor": "eyJwayI6IjIwMjYtMDQtMjgiLCJpZCI6IjEyMzQ1Njc4In0",
+    "has_more": true,
+    "limit": 20
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Deterministic: handles inserts/deletes between requests
+- No count overhead
+- Efficient: B-tree index on sort column
+
+---
+
+### 3.3 Error Response
+
+```typescript
+{
+  statusCode: number,
+  message: string,
+  error: {
+    code: string,           // Machine-readable error code
+    message: string,        // Human-readable message
+    field?: string,         // Field that failed validation (optional)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Examples:**

+  Response: { success: true }
+
+POST /webhooks/:publicKey/:id/regenerate-secret
+  Response: { secret }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. User/Organization Context Handling
+
+### 4.1 Current State: Single Identifier
+
+The system uses **Stellar public key** as the sole user identifier:
+
+```typescript
+// Everywhere in the codebase:
+const publicKey: string = "GABC...XYZ";  // G + 56 alphanumeric chars
+
+// All queries look like:
+const usernames = await db
+  .from('usernames')
+  .select('*')
+  .eq('public_key', publicKey);
+
+const webhooks = await db
+  .from('notification_preferences')
+  .select('*')
+  .eq('public_key', publicKey)
+  .eq('channel', 'webhook');
+
+const refunds = await db
+  .from('refund_attempts')
+  .select('*')
+  .eq('actor_id', publicKey);
+```
+
+### 4.2 API Key Association
+
+API keys have an optional `owner_id` field, but it's **not enforced**:
+
+```typescript
+// Current behavior
+{
+  id: "uuid",
+  name: "My API Key",
+  owner_id: "GABC...XYZ",  // Optional - metadata only
+  scopes: ['links:read', 'transactions:read'],
+  is_active: true
+}
+
+// No automatic filtering - a key can be used by anyone
+// The owner_id is purely informational for the developer
+```
+
+**Implication:** API keys are **not scoped to organizations** currently.
+
+### 4.3 Request-to-Context Flow
+
+When a request arrives:
+
+```typescript
+// 1. ApiKeyGuard extracts X-API-Key header
+// 2. Validates key against bcrypt hash
+// 3. Attaches to request:
+request.apiKey = {
+  id: "key-uuid",
+  name: "Key Name",
+  scopes: ['links:read'],
+  rateLimit: 120
+};
+
+// 4. Service/controller can then:
+const apiKeyId = request.apiKey.id;
+const scopes = request.apiKey.scopes;
+
+// 5. But NO organization/tenant context is extracted!
+// Services must ask the client for the public_key:
+async getWebhooks(@Param('publicKey') publicKey: string) {
+  return this.webhookService.listWebhooks(publicKey);
+}
+```
+
+**Current Pattern:**
+
+```typescript
+// Webhook Controller
+@Get(':publicKey')
+async listWebhooks(@Param('publicKey') publicKey: string) {
+  // publicKey comes from URL parameter
+  // We trust the client to provide it (no validation)
+  return this.webhookService.listWebhooks(publicKey);
+}
+
+// API Key Controller
+@Get()
+async list(@Query('owner_id') ownerId?: string) {
+  // ownerId is optional query param
+  // No validation that it matches the authenticated user
+  return this.service.list(ownerId);
+}
+```
+
+**Security Risk:** Nothing prevents user A from accessing user B's webhooks or API keys if they know the public key/owner_id.
+
+---
+
+### 4.4 Multi-User/Multi-Org Requirements
+
+To support multi-tenancy, we need:
+
+1. **Organization Entity** (new table)
+   ```sql
+   CREATE TABLE organizations (
+     id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+     name TEXT NOT NULL,
+     slug TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+     public_key TEXT NOT NULL,         -- Primary owner
+     created_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
+     updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ
+   );
+   ```
+
+2. **Membership Table** (new table)
+   ```sql
+   CREATE TABLE organization_members (
+     id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+     organization_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES organizations (id),
+     user_public_key TEXT NOT NULL,    -- Member's Stellar public key
+     role TEXT NOT NULL                -- 'owner' | 'admin' | 'developer' | 'viewer'
+       CHECK (role IN ('owner', 'admin', 'developer', 'viewer')),
+     created_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
+     CONSTRAINT unique_member UNIQUE (organization_id, user_public_key)
+   );
+   ```
+
+3. **Context Extraction** in API Key Guard
+   ```typescript
+   // Extract organization_id from API key
+   const org = await this.orgsService.findByApiKey(record.id);
+   request.organization = org;
+   ```
+
+4. **Middleware for Org Filtering**
+   ```typescript
+   // Automatically scope queries
+   const webhooks = await db
+     .from('notification_preferences')
+     .select('*')
+     .eq('organization_id', request.organization.id)
+     .eq('channel', 'webhook');
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Role/Permission Logic
+
+### 5.1 API Key Scopes (Fine-Grained Permissions)
+
+**Scope Definition:**
+
+```typescript
+export const API_KEY_SCOPES = [
+  'links:read',       // Query link metadata
+  'links:write',      // Create/modify links
+  'transactions:read', // Query transactions
+  'usernames:read',   // Search usernames
+  'refunds:write',    // Initiate refunds
+  'admin',            // Administrative operations
+] as const;
+```
+
+**Enforcement via Decorator:**
+
+```typescript
+// In controller
+@Post('refunds')
+@RequireScopes('refunds:write')
+async initiateRefund(@Body() dto: InitiateRefundDto) {
+  // Only executed if API key has 'refunds:write' scope
+}
+
+// In ApiKeyGuard
+const requiredScopes = this.reflector.getAllAndOverride<ApiKeyScope[]>(
+  REQUIRED_SCOPES_KEY,
+  [context.getHandler(), context.getClass()]
+) ?? [];
+
+for (const scope of requiredScopes) {
+  if (!hasScope(scope)) {
+    throw new ForbiddenException({
+      error: "INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE",
+      message: `API key missing required scope: ${scope}`,
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Scope-to-Resource Mapping:**
+
+| Scope | Endpoints | Actions |
+|-------|-----------|---------|
+| `links:read` | `POST /links/metadata` | Generate link metadata |
+| `links:write` | (Future) Create/edit links | Store links, update settings |
+| `transactions:read` | `GET /transactions` | Fetch account transactions |
+| `usernames:read` | `GET /usernames/search`, `/trending` | Search, discover usernames |
+| `refunds:write` | `POST /refunds` | Initiate refund requests |
+| `admin` | `/admin/*` | Feature flags, audit logs |
+
+### 5.2 Admin Features
+
+#### **Feature Flags** (`/admin/feature-flags`)
+
+```typescript
+@Controller()
+export class FeatureFlagsController {
+  @Get('admin/feature-flags')
+  async listFlags() { }
+
+  @Patch('admin/feature-flags/:key')
+  async updateFlag(
+    @Param('key') key: string,
+    @Body() body: UpdateFeatureFlagDto,
+    @Headers('x-admin-actor') actorHeader?: string  // Optional actor tracking
+  ) {
+    const actor = actorHeader?.trim() || 'admin-ui';
+    return this.featureFlagsService.updateFlag(key, body, actor);
+  }
+
+  @Get('feature-flags/:key/evaluate')
+  async evaluateFlag(
+    @Param('key') key: string,
+    @Query() query: FeatureFlagQueryDto
+  ) {
+    // Unauthenticated evaluation endpoint
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Feature Flag Model:**
+```typescript
+{
+  key: 'new_payment_flow',
+  enabled: true,
+  kill_switch: false,
+  rollout_percentage: 25,                    // Gradual rollout
+  allowed_users: ['GABC...', 'GDEF...'],     // Allowlist
+  environments: { production: true, staging: false },
+  metadata: { launched_at: '2026-04-28' }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Audit Logs** (`/admin/audit`)
+
+```typescript
+@Controller('admin/audit')
+export class AuditController {
+  @Get()
+  queryLogs(@Query() query: QueryAuditLogsDto) {
+    // No auth check currently - open endpoint!
+  }
+
+  @Get('export')
+  async exportCsv(@Res() res: Response) {
+    // Export to CSV for analysis
+  }
+
+  @Delete('retention')
+  applyRetentionStrategy() {
+    // Delete logs older than 90 days
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**No RBAC:** Currently no role-based access control for admin endpoints.
+
+---
+
+### 5.3 Rate Limit Groups
+
+Rate limiting is used as a form of quality-of-service (not authorization):
+
+```typescript
+// public (unauthenticated)
+- Burst: 20 req/min
+- Sustained: 100 req/hour
+
+// authenticated (API key + valid scopes)
+- Burst: 120 req/min
+- Sustained: 600 req/hour
+
+// webhooks (delivering events)
+- Burst: 50 req/min
+- Sustained: 300 req/hour
+```
+
+Not granular per-user permissions, but rather traffic prioritization.

+
+### 6.3 Repository Pattern
+
+Some services use repositories for database access:
+
+```typescript
+// Example: ApiKeysRepository
+export class ApiKeysRepository {
+  constructor(private readonly supabase: SupabaseService) {}
+
+  async insert(data: CreateApiKeyData): Promise<ApiKeyRecord> {
+    const { data: inserted, error } = await this.supabase
+      .getClient()
+      .from('api_keys')
+      .insert([data])
+      .select()
+      .single();
+
+    if (error) throw new SupabaseError(...);
+    return inserted;
+  }
+
+  async findByPrefix(prefix: string): Promise<ApiKeyRecord[]> {
+    const { data, error } = await this.supabase
+      .getClient()
+      .from('api_keys')
+      .select('*')
+      .eq('key_prefix', prefix)
+      .eq('is_active', true);
+
+    if (error) throw new SupabaseError(...);
+    return data;
+  }
+
+  async incrementUsage(keyId: string): Promise<void> {
+    const { error } = await this.supabase
+      .getClient()
+      .rpc('increment_api_key_usage', { key_id: keyId });
+
+    if (error) throw new SupabaseError(...);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Advantages:**
+- Centralized data access
+- Easy to test (mock repository)
+- Reusable across services
+

+
+## 7. Multi-Tenancy Readiness Analysis
+
+### 7.1 Current State: NOT Ready
+
+**Blocking Issues:**
+
+| Issue | Impact | Severity |
+|-------|--------|----------|
+| No `organization_id` column | Can't isolate tenants at DB level | Critical |
+| All data keyed by public_key | No multi-user organization concept | Critical |
+| Request context = API key only | Can't extract org from request | High |
+| No org ownership validation | Users can access other users' data | Critical |
+| Admin endpoints have no auth | Open to all callers | High |
+| Feature flags global | Can't enable per-org | Medium |
+| Audit logs not org-scoped | Can't filter per tenant | Medium |
+
+---
+
+### 7.2 Migration Plan
+
+#### **Phase 1: Database Schema** (Essential Tables)
+
+```sql
+-- 1. Create organizations table
+CREATE TABLE organizations (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  slug TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
+  primary_owner_public_key TEXT NOT NULL,  -- Creator
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now()
+);
+
+-- 2. Create organization_members table
+CREATE TABLE organization_members (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+  organization_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES organizations (id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  user_public_key TEXT NOT NULL,
+  role TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'member'
+    CHECK (role IN ('owner', 'admin', 'developer', 'viewer')),
+  joined_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
+  CONSTRAINT unique_member UNIQUE (organization_id, user_public_key)
+);
+
+-- 3. Add organization_id to api_keys
+ALTER TABLE api_keys
+ADD COLUMN organization_id UUID REFERENCES organizations (id) ON DELETE CASCADE;
+
+-- 4. Add organization_id to notification_preferences
+ALTER TABLE notification_preferences
+ADD COLUMN organization_id UUID REFERENCES organizations (id) ON DELETE CASCADE;
+
+-- 5. Create indexes
+CREATE INDEX idx_organization_members_org_id ON organization_members (organization_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_organization_members_user_key ON organization_members (user_public_key);
+CREATE INDEX idx_api_keys_organization_id ON api_keys (organization_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_notification_preferences_organization_id 
+  ON notification_preferences (organization_id);
+```
+
+#### **Phase 2: API Key & Guard Enhancement**
+
+```typescript
+// api-keys.types.ts
+export interface ApiKeyRecord {
+  id: string;
+  organization_id: string;    // NEW: Which org owns this key
+  name: string;
+  scopes: ApiKeyScope[];
+  // ... rest
+}
+
+// api-key.guard.ts
+async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
+  const request = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
+  const rawKey = request.headers["x-api-key"];
+
+  if (!rawKey) return true; // Public access
+
+  const result = await this.apiKeysService.validateKey(rawKey);
+  if (!result) {
+    throw new UnauthorizedException({ error: "INVALID_API_KEY" });
+  }
+
+  const { record } = result;
+
+  // NEW: Extract organization
+  const org = await this.orgsService.findById(record.organization_id);
+  if (!org || !org.active) {
+    throw new ForbiddenException({ error: "ORGANIZATION_INACTIVE" });
+  }
+
+  // Attach to request
+  request.apiKey = record;
+  request.organization = org;
+  request.organizationId = org.id;
+
+  return true;
+}
+```
+
+#### **Phase 3: Middleware for Org Filtering**
+
+```typescript
+// org-context.middleware.ts
+@Injectable()
+export class OrganizationContextMiddleware implements NestMiddleware {
+  use(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
+    // If no org (public endpoint), continue
+    if (!req.organizationId) return next();
+
+    // Attach to request for services to use
+    req.orgContext = {
+      organizationId: req.organizationId,
+      userId: req.apiKey?.owner_id || 'anonymous',
+      role: req.member?.role || 'guest',
+    };
+
+    next();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Phase 4: Service Updates**
+
+```typescript
+// webhooks.service.ts (before)
+async listWebhooks(publicKey: string) {
+  return db.from('notification_preferences')
+    .select('*')
+    .eq('public_key', publicKey);
+}
+
+// webhooks.service.ts (after)
+async listWebhooks(
+  publicKey: string,
+  organizationId: string,
+  orgContext: OrgContext
+) {
+  // Verify membership
+  const member = await this.orgsService.getMember(organizationId, publicKey);
+  if (!member) {
+    throw new ForbiddenException('Not a member of this organization');
+  }
+
+  return db.from('notification_preferences')
+    .select('*')
+    .eq('organization_id', organizationId)
+    .eq('public_key', publicKey);
+}
+
+// webhooks.controller.ts (after)
+@Get(':publicKey')
+async listWebhooks(
+  @Param('publicKey') publicKey: string,
+  @Request() req
+) {
+  return this.webhookService.listWebhooks(
+    publicKey,
+    req.organizationId,
+    req.orgContext
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### **Phase 5: Role-Based Access Control**
+
+```typescript
+// role-based.guard.ts
+@Injectable()
+export class RoleBasedGuard implements CanActivate {
+  constructor(private reflector: Reflector) {}
+
+  canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): boolean {
+    const requiredRoles = this.reflector.get<string[]>(
+      'requiredRoles',
+      context.getHandler()
+    );
+
+    if (!requiredRoles) return true; // No roles specified
+
+    const req = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
+    const { role } = req.orgContext || {};
+
+    return requiredRoles.includes(role);
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage in controller
+@Post('refunds')
+@UseGuards(RoleBasedGuard)
+@RequireRoles('owner', 'admin')
+async initiateRefund(@Body() dto: InitiateRefundDto) {
+  // Only org owners/admins can initiate refunds
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7.3 Backward Compatibility Considerations
+
+```typescript
+// For endpoints currently scoped to public_key, 
+// we need to decide: support both or migrate?
+
+// Option A: Detect if org_id present, else single-user mode
+async listWebhooks(
+  @Param('publicKey') publicKey: string,
+  @Query('organizationId') organizationId?: string,
+  @Request() req
+) {
+  if (organizationId) {
+    // New multi-org flow
+    return this.webhookService.listWebhooks(publicKey, organizationId, req.orgContext);
+  } else {
+    // Legacy single-user flow (direct public_key)
+    return this.webhookService.listWebhooksLegacy(publicKey);
+  }
+}
+
+// Option B: Deprecate old endpoints, force migration
+// /v1/webhooks/:publicKey  → Deprecated
+// /v2/organizations/:id/webhooks/:publicKey → New
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+### Key Findings:
+
+1. **Single-Tenant Database**: All entities scoped to `public_key`; no org concept
+2. **API Key Authentication**: Bcrypt-hashed, scope-based, with 24-hour rotation overlap
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Two-window (burst + sustained) with identity resolution (key > user > IP)
+4. **Request Context**: Minimal (apiKey + correlationId); no user principal
+5. **Cursor Pagination**: Deterministic, offset-free pagination
+6. **Scope-Based Permissions**: Fine-grained (links:read, links:write, etc.)
+7. **Admin Features**: Feature flags + audit logs, but no RBAC
+8. **Notification System**: Multi-channel (email, push, webhook, Telegram) per public_key
+9. **Refund Workflow**: Idempotency-keyed with audit trail
+
+### Multi-Tenancy Gaps:
+
+| Gap | Required Action |
+|-----|-----------------|
+| No organizations | Create org table + membership table |
+| No org context in request | Extract from API key; add middleware |
+| No access control | Add org membership validation + RBAC |
+| No org filtering | Add organization_id to all queries |
+| Admin endpoints unprotected | Add auth decorator + org check |

+# Multi-Tenant Backend Implementation - Testing Guide
+
+**Date**: April 28, 2026  
+**Branch**: feat/be-multi-tenant  
+**Complexity**: 200 points
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions to verify that the multi-tenant implementation has been successfully completed.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Acceptance Criteria Validation Checklist
+
+Your assignment is complete when all of the following acceptance criteria are met:
+
+- [ ] **Criterion 1**: Users cannot access data from organizations they don't belong to
+- [ ] **Criterion 2**: API keys are scoped to a specific organization
+- [ ] **Criterion 3**: Invites and role changes are reflected immediately in access checks
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+Before starting tests, ensure you have:
+
+1. **Backend Running**: `pnpm turbo run dev --filter=backend`
+2. **Database Migrated**: Run all migrations from `app/backend/supabase/migrations/`
+3. **Test API Key**: An API key scoped to a test organization
+4. **Test User IDs**: Two or more Stellar public keys for testing (or emails for non-blockchain users)
+
+### Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to backend
+cd app/backend
+
+# Install dependencies if needed
+pnpm install
+
+# Run migrations (if using local Supabase)
+pnpm supabase migration up
+
+# Start development server
+pnpm dev
+
+# In another terminal, run tests
+pnpm test:e2e
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Phase 1: Database Schema Verification
+
+### Test 1.1: Verify Organization Tables Exist
+
+**Purpose**: Confirm database migrations were applied correctly.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Connect to your Supabase database (via psql or Supabase UI)
+2. Run the following query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables 
+WHERE table_schema = 'public' AND table_name IN ('organizations', 'organization_members');
+```
+
+**Expected Result**:
+```
+table_name
+------------------
+organizations
+organization_members
+```
+
+### Test 1.2: Verify Foreign Keys and Indexes
+
+**Purpose**: Ensure data integrity constraints are in place.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Run the following query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT constraint_name, constraint_type 
+FROM information_schema.table_constraints 
+WHERE table_name = 'organization_members';
+```
+
+**Expected Result**:
+```
+constraint_name               | constraint_type
+--------------------------------|------------------
+organization_members_pkey      | PRIMARY KEY
+unique_org_member              | UNIQUE
+fk_org_members_org_id          | FOREIGN KEY
+```
+
+2. Verify organization_id exists on api_keys:
+
+```sql
+SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns 
+WHERE table_name = 'api_keys' AND column_name = 'organization_id';
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: `organization_id` column should exist
+
+---
+
+## 🔑 Phase 2: API Key and Organization Setup
+
+### Test 2.1: Create an Organization
+
+**Purpose**: Test organization creation via API.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. You'll need an initial API key. If you don't have one, create it via the API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api-keys \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Test Master Key",
+    "scopes": ["links:read", "links:write", "admin"],
+    "owner_id": "GBRPYHIL2CI3WHZDTOOQFC6EB4KJJGUJEEN54SCBULBUKPXWVZVFXWWW"
+  }'
+```
+
+2. Save the returned API key (appears once in response)
+
+3. Create an organization:
+
+```bash
+export API_KEY="qx_your_actual_key_here"
+
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Test Organization",
+    "slug": "test-org-'$(date +%s)'",
+    "description": "For testing multi-tenant features"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (201 Created):
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+    "name": "Test Organization",
+    "slug": "test-org-1719475200",
+    "description": "For testing multi-tenant features",
+    "owner_id": "GBRPYHIL2CI3WHZDTOOQFC6EB4KJJGUJEEN54SCBULBUKPXWVZVFXWWW",
+    "is_active": true,
+    "created_at": "2026-04-28T10:00:00Z",
+    "updated_at": "2026-04-28T10:00:00Z"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Save the organization ID** for use in subsequent tests: `export ORG_ID="550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"`
+
+### Test 2.2: Verify API Key is Scoped to Organization
+
+**Purpose**: Confirm API keys are properly associated with organizations.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Query the database directly:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, name, organization_id, owner_id FROM api_keys 
+WHERE name = 'Test Master Key' LIMIT 1;
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: organization_id should contain a valid UUID
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Phase 3: Acceptance Criterion 1 - Data Isolation
+
+### Test 3.1: Users Cannot Access Other Organizations
+
+**Purpose**: Verify users cannot access organizations they don't belong to.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Create a second organization with the same API key:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Second Test Organization",
+    "slug": "test-org-2-'$(date +%s)'"
+  }'
+```
+
+2. Save the second org ID: `export ORG_ID_2="..."`
+
+3. Try to access the first organization with API key from different context:
+
+```bash
+# This should work - same API key
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY"
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (200 OK)
+
+4. Now create an API key scoped ONLY to ORG_ID:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/keys \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Org 1 Only Key",
+    "scopes": ["links:read", "links:write"]
+  }'
+```
+
+**Save the response key**: `export ORG1_KEY="qx_org1_key_here"`
+
+5. Try to access ORG_ID_2 with ORG1_KEY:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID_2 \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $ORG1_KEY"
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (403 Forbidden):
+```json
+{
+  "error": "ORGANIZATION_ACCESS_DENIED",
+  "message": "You do not have access to this organization"
+}
+```
+
+✅ **Criterion 1 Verified**: API key cannot access organizations it's not scoped to
+
+---
+
+## 🎫 Phase 4: Acceptance Criterion 2 - API Key Scoping
+
+### Test 4.1: Create Organization-Scoped API Keys
+
+**Purpose**: Verify API keys can be scoped to organizations.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Create an API key scoped to ORG_ID:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/keys \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "name": "Links API Key",
+    "scopes": ["links:read", "links:write"]
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (201 Created) with `key` field
+
+2. Save the key: `export LINKS_KEY="qx_..."`
+
+3. Verify the key in database:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, name, organization_id, scopes FROM api_keys 
+WHERE key_prefix LIKE 'qx_%' ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1;
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: organization_id matches ORG_ID
+
+### Test 4.2: Verify Scoped Key Has Correct Permissions
+
+**Purpose**: Confirm scoped keys only allow their declared scopes.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Try to use LINKS_KEY to read links (should work):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/links/metadata \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $LINKS_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "asset": "USDC",
+    "amount": "100",
+    "memo": "Test payment"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response**: 200 OK (or 400 if validation fails, but request is authorized)
+
+### Test 4.3: Quota Tracking Per API Key
+
+**Purpose**: Verify usage is tracked correctly.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Make several requests with the scoped key
+
+2. Check usage in database:
+
+```sql
+SELECT id, name, request_count, monthly_quota FROM api_keys 
+WHERE name = 'Links API Key';
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: request_count should increase with each request
+
+✅ **Criterion 2 Verified**: API keys are scoped to organizations with proper quota tracking
+
+---
+
+## 👥 Phase 5: Acceptance Criterion 3 - Invite & Role Management
+
+### Test 5.1: Invite Member to Organization
+
+**Purpose**: Test member invitation workflow.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Invite another user to the organization:
+
+```bash
+export INVITED_USER="GB2QYZTOKPZQZNMW5TNFVXS3QVLVFBQ4GGKV4PK5KU4VN3W37GBHFZ46V4"
+
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/members/invite \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "user_id": "'$INVITED_USER'",
+    "role": "MEMBER"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (201 Created):
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001",
+    "organization_id": "...",
+    "user_id": "GB2QYZTOKPZQZNMW5TNFVXS3QVLVFBQ4GGKV4PK5KU4VN3W37GBHFZ46V4",
+    "role": "MEMBER",
+    "invited_at": "2026-04-28T10:05:00Z",
+    "invited_by": "GBRPYHIL2CI3WHZDTOOQFC6EB4KJJGUJEEN54SCBULBUKPXWVZVFXWWW",
+    "accepted_at": null,
+    "is_active": true,
+    "created_at": "2026-04-28T10:05:00Z",
+    "updated_at": "2026-04-28T10:05:00Z"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test 5.2: User Cannot Access Organization Before Accepting Invite
+
+**Purpose**: Verify pending invites don't grant access.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Try to access organization as the invited user (create API key for INVITED_USER first):
+
+```bash
+# This would require creating an API key for INVITED_USER
+# Simulate: Create a key and try to list orgs
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/organizations/my-organizations \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $INVITED_USER_KEY"
+```
+
+**Expected**: The invitation should NOT appear as an accessible organization yet
+
+### Test 5.3: User Accepts Invite and Can Now Access
+
+**Purpose**: Verify role changes are immediately reflected.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Accept the invitation:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations/invitations/accept \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $INVITED_USER_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "organization_id": "'$ORG_ID'"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (200 OK) with `accepted_at` field populated
+
+2. Now the user can access the organization:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $INVITED_USER_KEY"
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (200 OK) - access is granted
+
+### Test 5.4: Update Member Role and Verify Immediate Effect
+
+**Purpose**: Verify permission changes take effect immediately.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Update invited user to ADMIN role:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/members/$INVITED_USER/role \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "role": "ADMIN"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (200 OK) with role changed to ADMIN
+
+2. Verify the user can now perform admin actions (invite others):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/members/invite \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $INVITED_USER_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "user_id": "GB3QYZTOKPZQZNMW5TNFVXS3QVLVFBQ4GGKV4PK5KU4VN3W37GBHFZ46V5",
+    "role": "VIEWER"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (201 Created) - action succeeds due to ADMIN role
+
+3. Change role back to VIEWER:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/members/$INVITED_USER/role \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "role": "VIEWER"
+  }'
+```
+
+4. Verify access is immediately restricted:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/members/invite \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $INVITED_USER_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "user_id": "GB4QYZTOKPZQZNMW5TNFVXS3QVLVFBQ4GGKV4PK5KU4VN3W37GBHFZ46V6",
+    "role": "MEMBER"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (403 Forbidden):
+```json
+{
+  "error": "INSUFFICIENT_ROLE",
+  "message": "Required one of roles: ADMIN, OWNER, but user has: VIEWER"
+}
+```
+
+✅ **Criterion 3 Verified**: Invites and role changes are immediately reflected in access checks
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Phase 6: Automated Testing
+
+### Test 6.1: Run Unit Tests
+
+**Purpose**: Verify business logic is correct.
+
+**Steps**:

+pnpm test:e2e -- organizations.e2e-spec
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: All tests pass ✅
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Phase 7: Edge Cases and Security Validation
+
+### Test 7.1: Prevent Role Escalation
+
+**Purpose**: Ensure members cannot promote themselves to higher roles.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Create a MEMBER user
+
+2. As MEMBER, try to promote themselves to OWNER:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/organizations/$ORG_ID/members/$MEMBER_USER_ID/role \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $MEMBER_KEY" \
+  -d '{
+    "role": "OWNER"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (403 Forbidden) - members cannot change their own roles
+
+### Test 7.2: Prevent Cross-Organization Access
+
+**Purpose**: Ensure data from one org never leaks to another.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Create resources in ORG_ID (e.g., links, transactions)
+
+2. Create a different API key for ORG_ID_2
+
+3. Try to query resources from ORG_ID using ORG_ID_2 key:
+
+```bash
+curl -X GET "http://localhost:3000/links?org_id=$ORG_ID" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $ORG_ID_2_KEY"
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: Either 404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden (not 200 OK with data)
+
+### Test 7.3: Verify API Key Scope Enforcement
+
+**Purpose**: Ensure scoped keys cannot exceed their defined scopes.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Create an API key with only `links:read` scope
+
+2. Try to perform a `links:write` operation:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/links \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-API-Key: $READ_ONLY_KEY" \
+  -d '{"name": "Test"}'
+```
+
+**Expected Response** (403 Forbidden):
+```json
+{
+  "error": "INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE",
+  "message": "API key missing required scope: links:write"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Phase 8: Performance Validation
+
+### Test 8.1: Verify Organization Lookup is Efficient
+
+**Purpose**: Ensure organization context extraction doesn't slow down requests significantly.
+
+**Steps**:
+
+1. Create 10 API keys
+
+2. Make 100 requests with each key
+
+3. Monitor database query performance:
+
+```sql
+-- Check for slow queries in Supabase logs
+SELECT query, mean_time, calls FROM pg_stat_statements 
+WHERE query LIKE '%organization%' 
+ORDER BY mean_time DESC;
+```
+
+**Expected Result**: Average query time < 50ms for organization lookups
+
