Design for closing the six mocked frontend domains, the missing S8 admin/lots/
export routes, the unbuilt ADR 20 real-time push fan-out, and real Stripe
Elements billing capture — plus exhaustive Vitest/RTL coverage per
frontend/CLAUDE.md's one-test-per-component rule.

+# Frontend completion — design
+
+## Context
+
+The frontend (`frontend/src`) is not a greenfield build: five prior phases produced ~204 files
+across 12 customer routes and 4 admin routes, a 93-token design system with zero hardcoded-color
+violations, a clean `apiClient.js` (CSRF, idempotency keys, RFC 9457 error normalization), and a
+passing `npm run lint` / `npm run build`. What's missing is real: **zero test files** despite
+`frontend/CLAUDE.md`'s "no component is done without a test," and **six domains built against
+`mockClient.js` instead of the API** — committed under a commit literally titled "Phase 4 - mocked
+domains." `App.jsx`'s own comment names them: portfolio, lots, fees, chat, admin customers,
+statement export.
+
+A three-way audit (mock inventory, backend API surface, spec conformance) found the six mocks split
+two ways:
+
+- **Backend already has the route** (portfolio, fees, chat, admin customer fees) — pure frontend
+  wiring gaps.
+- **No backend route exists at all** (lots, admin customers directory/detail/KYC-override,
+  statement export) — these are exactly S8's F10 finding from the earlier backend audit: six
+  documented-but-unbuilt routes.
+
+Two more gaps surfaced beyond the six named mocks: `structure.md §7` mandates a `hooks/useSSE` for
+real-time push (order fill, KYC verdict, new break) built on `S12 §6`/`ADR 20`'s Redis Pub/Sub
+fan-out — neither the backend endpoint nor the frontend hook exists, only chat has SSE. And the fee
+payment-method form collects a card brand/last-4 as plain strings instead of tokenizing through
+Stripe Elements, despite `@stripe/stripe-js` already being a dependency and `GET /identity/config`
+already serving the publishable key needed to mount it.
+
+The user's directive — "nothing should be mocked, ensure everything is finished" — was tested
+against three scope questions, each decided in favor of the larger, more complete option:
+
+1. **Missing backend routes**: build them (not leave three domains mocked, not remove them).
+2. **Order-form pricing**: reuse `GET /portfolios/models` for the security picker; the customer
+   enters `reference_price` (already a required API field) rather than inventing a quote source.
+3. **Test depth**: exhaustive — one colocated test file per component, matching the literal text of
+   `frontend/CLAUDE.md` and `structure.md §8`, not a risk-prioritized subset.
+4. **Real-time push**: build the full fan-out (backend SSE endpoints + Redis Pub/Sub publish sites +
+   frontend `useSSE` + its three consumers), not defer it.
+5. **Stripe Billing**: wire real Stripe Elements, tokenizing in the browser so card data never
+   touches Trueup's servers.
+
+This spec is the design for closing all of it. It does not re-litigate those five decisions or the
+backend remediation plan already executed and merged (`carefully-and-thoroughly-read-joyful-riddle`
+plan, PRs #5–#6) — it starts from `main` at that point.
+
+## Scope
+
+**In scope:**
+- Six new/extended backend routes (S8 F10): `/lots`, `/statements/<period>/export`,
+  `/admin/customers`, `/admin/customers/<id>`, `/admin/kyc-overrides/<customer_id>`,
+  `/admin/customers/<id>/fees` (the last already partially served by `GET /fees?customer_id=`).
+- Real-time push backend: `GET /api/v1/events/stream`, `GET /api/v1/admin/events/stream`, and the
+  three publish sites (`OrderService`, `KycService`/`AccountApprovalService`,
+  `ReconciliationService`), per `S12 §6`'s already-complete wire design.
+- Frontend: replace all six `mockClient`-backed `api/*.js` modules with real `apiClient` calls;
+  build `hooks/useSSE` and its three feature consumers; replace `useChatStream`'s fake token-split
+  with a real `fetch` + `ReadableStream` consumer of the existing chat SSE endpoint; replace
+  `PaymentMethodForm`'s plain-string capture with Stripe Elements.
+- Vitest + React Testing Library installed and wired into `npm test` and `Makefile`; one colocated
+  test file per component/hook/api module/route-guard, per `structure.md §8`.
+
+**Out of scope (explicitly deferred, not silently dropped):**
+- CI/CD wiring for the frontend (Phase 3 of the backend plan already covers this ground generally;
+  extending it to frontend jobs is a follow-up once tests exist to run).
+- Azure deployment of the frontend container (Dockerfile already exists from Phase 0; deploying it
+  is Phase 5 of the backend plan, unchanged).
+- Anything in `docs/specs/frontend/structure.md §9`'s still-open question 2 (`/admin/breaks/:id`
+  hydrating from the list vs. a dedicated fetch) — no new information changes that answer; current
+  hydrate-from-list behavior stands.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### A. Backend: the six S8 routes
+
+All five new endpoints follow the existing controller pattern exactly (Pydantic request/response
+views in `app/views/`, a thin controller in `app/controllers/api/` or `app/controllers/admin/`, a
+service method, `@requires_role`/inline ownership matching neighboring routes, `@audited` on every
+privileged write per `ADR 15`).
+
+- **`GET /api/v1/lots`** (customer route, `S8 §3`) — new `LotsService` read method returning open
+  and (optionally, `?include_closed=`) closed lots for the caller's `customer_id`, with
+  `is_provisional` computed from `designation_window_closes_at` vs. now, and wash-sale adjustment
+  fields surfaced per `TaxLot.adjusted_basis`. Reuses `TaxLotRepository` (`app/models/ledger/tax_lot.py`)
+  already built for S5 — no new repository method beyond a customer-scoped list query.
+
+- **`GET /api/v1/statements/<period>/export`** (`S8 §5`, FR-36) — a new controller action beside the
+  existing `statements.py` routes. Reads the published snapshot exactly as `get_statement` does
+  (never a live recompute — same "not yet published" 404 if absent, per spec edge case 1), plus the
+  period's realized lot consumptions (S5) including `is_provisional` and any
+  `wash_sale_adjustment` rows, and renders CSV (`text/csv`, `Content-Disposition: attachment`). No
+  PDF (spec names it out of scope for v1).
+
+- **`GET /api/v1/admin/customers`** (`S8 §4`) — paginated directory using the existing
+  `app/core/pagination.py` helper; `?query=` matches email case-insensitively (name matching is
+  deferred per the spec's own note — S2 carries no name field yet). `@requires_role("adviser",
+  "admin")`.
+
+- **`GET /api/v1/admin/customers/<id>`** — aggregates existing read paths under the adviser RLS
+  branch: `ValuationService.value_book` (the *same* call `/valuation/balance` makes — spec edge case
+  4's "must agree exactly" requirement, satisfied by literally not duplicating the aggregation), KYC
+  and account-approval status, and **any open reconciliation break for this customer**, surfaced as
+  a prominent field per spec edge case 2 — not a separate fetch the frontend has to remember to make.
+
+- **`POST /api/v1/admin/kyc-overrides/<customer_id>`** — the concrete route for S2 §9's open
+  parameter. Only valid when `customer.kyc_status == REJECTED` and the latest `KycSession.attempt_number
+  >= KYC_MAX_ATTEMPTS` (the existing locked-rejected condition already computed in
+  `kyc_service.py:47`, not a new column) — resets `kyc_status` to `pending` and allows a fresh
+  `KycSession`. `@audited("identity.kyc.override")`.
+
+- **`GET /api/v1/admin/customers/<id>/fees`** — thin adviser-scoped wrapper over the same
+  `FeeChargeService` read path `GET /fees?customer_id=` already uses; kept as its own route per the
+  spec's route table (adviser fee view vs. customer fee view are named separately in `S8 §4`), but
+  implemented as a one-line delegation, not a second aggregation.
+
+`/identity/status/<customer_id>` also gets a small extension here: distinguish "rejected, locked"
+from "rejected, resubmittable" in its response (spec edge case 3), using the same
+`attempt_number >= max_attempts` check the override route reads, rather than inventing a new status
+value the customer-facing copy has to interpret.
+
+### B. Backend: real-time push (S12 §6 / ADR 20)
+
+The wire design is already fully specified — this implements it, not designs it:
+
+- Two SSE routes: `GET /api/v1/events/stream` (customer, ownership-scoped) and
+  `GET /api/v1/admin/events/stream` (adviser, role-scoped) — long-lived generators identical in
+  shape to `chat.py`'s existing `send_message` SSE handler, subscribing to
+  `customer:<customer_id>:events` or `adviser:events` via the existing `redis.Redis` client
+  (`app/extensions.py:make_redis`) on connection open, unsubscribing on disconnect.
+- Message shape fixed by spec: `{event_type, entity_id, summary}` — a pointer, never the entity
+  itself; the frontend's reaction is always a re-fetch of the relevant `GET` endpoint.
+- Three publish sites, each firing **after** its own commit (never inside the transaction, per
+  S0 §5's no-I/O-in-a-transaction rule, restated explicitly by S12 §6): `OrderService` on a fill or
+  terminal `order_event`; `KycService`/`AccountApprovalService` on a status change; `ReconciliationService`
+  on opening a `reconciliation_break`. Adding a fourth is not in scope — three matches the spec's
+  named list exactly.
+- No new infra: same Redis instance already used for sessions/rate limits (ADR 13/15's "never holds
+  financial state" is preserved — a Pub/Sub message is an ephemeral pointer, not a fact of record).
+
+### C. Frontend: mock removal
+
+Each of the six `api/*.js` modules is rewritten to call `apiClient` instead of `mockClient`, matching
+the request/response shapes the backend audit already pinned down exactly (money/units/price as
+fixed-point strings, `code`-only error bodies). Two need a field-mapping layer because names differ
+from what the mock invented:
+
+- `feesApi.js` — backend's `accrual_to_date` / `high_water_mark.peak_value` map onto the same UI
+  concepts the mock called `accrual.month_to_date_gain` etc.; the mapping lives in the api module,
+  not spread across components.
+- `chatApi.js` / `useChatStream.js` — replaced with a real `fetch(..., {method: 'POST'})` +
+  `response.body.getReader()` loop parsing `data: {...}\n\n` frames per the three documented shapes
+  (`token`, `completed`, `error`); `EventSource` cannot be used since the endpoint is a CSRF-bearing
+  POST.
+- `portfoliosApi.js` — drops the fabricated `getSecurities()` price table entirely;
+  `OrderForm` now sources its security picker from `GET /portfolios/models`'s
+  `target_weights[].{security_id, symbol}` and asks the customer for `reference_price` directly
+  (decision 2 above) — the field the API already requires, so no contract change.
+- `lotsApi.js`, `adminCustomersApi.js`, `statements/export` — become thin real clients once §A's
+  routes exist; no mapping needed, response shapes are authored to match the frontend's existing
+  expectations since both are built in this change.
+
+`mockClient.js` is deleted once its last consumer is migrated — not left as unreferenced dead code.
+
+### D. Frontend: `useSSE` and its consumers
+
+One hook (`src/hooks/useSSE.js`), one connection per authenticated session, opened once by
+`SessionContext` (mirroring how `useChatStream` already manages its own connection) and exposing a
+subscribe-by-`event_type` API so a feature registers a callback rather than the hook knowing about
+every feature. Three consumers, exactly as `structure.md §7` specifies:
+
+- `orders` feature: a `fill` push re-fetches and patches the matching row in place — no full list
+  refetch.
+- `SessionContext`: a KYC/approval push re-fetches `GET /auth/session` so onboarding gating updates
+  without a manual reload.
+- `admin-breaks` feature: a new-break push re-fetches the list's first page and prepends any row not
+  already present.
+
+No connection (tab backgrounded, disconnected) degrades to nothing — every screen's own `GET` on
+mount stays the source of truth, exactly as ADR 20 requires.
+
+### E. Frontend: real Stripe Elements for billing
+
+`PaymentMethodForm` mounts Stripe Elements (`@stripe/stripe-js`, already a dependency) using the
+publishable key from the existing `GET /identity/config`, collects the card via Stripe's own
+`CardElement` (never touching Trueup's servers with raw card data), and submits the resulting
+`payment_method_id` to the existing `POST /payment-methods`. This is the same integration pattern
+`OnboardingPage`'s Stripe Identity step already uses for the KYC provider key, applied to Billing.
+
+### F. Testing
+
+Vitest + `@testing-library/react` + `@testing-library/jest-dom` + `jsdom`, wired as `npm test` in
+`package.json` and a `frontend-test` target in the root `Makefile` (mirroring the backend's
+`test-unit`/`test-integration` pattern). Per `structure.md §8`, colocated one-file-per-unit:
+
+- **Generic `components/`** (13 dirs): render + interaction + keyboard/focus-visible tests — the
+  shared accessibility contract, tested once.
+- **Feature components** (~60 files across 12 features): render tests per data shape, including the
+  provisional/adjusted/dunning variant named per-domain in `design-system.md §8`.
+- **Feature hooks** (~20 files): success/error/idempotent-retry against a mocked `api/*.js`.
+- **api modules** (13 files): request-shape and error-mapping tests against a mocked `fetch`.
+- **Forms**: validation, submit-disabled-while-submitting, submit-failure-keeps-input-filled.
+- **`ChatWindow`/`useChatStream`**: mocked SSE stream, incremental token rendering,
+  `tool_calls` disclosure.
+- **Route guards** (`SessionContext`, `guards.jsx`): tested once at the router/context level.
+- **Loading/empty/error states**: the `structure.md §6` table is the checklist — each named cell
+  becomes an explicit test case, not an implicit "renders" assertion.
+
+## Data flow / error handling
+
+No change to the established contracts: `apiClient.js`'s CSRF/idempotency/error-normalization stays
+the single point of contact; every error still surfaces as `ApiError{status, code, ...}` and every
+new form follows the existing inline-error, keep-input-filled pattern already used by
+`DepositForm`/`WithdrawForm`. The two new backend surfaces (admin aggregation, SSE) both read
+already-existing services rather than introducing a second source of truth, satisfying spec edge
+case 4 (`/valuation/balance` and `/admin/customers/<id>` must agree exactly).
+
+## Testing (verification for this change itself)
+
+- Backend: new routes get the same four-layer coverage (`tests/unit`, `tests/integration`,
+  `tests/api`, `tests/contract` where applicable) as every existing S8 route; `make check` green;
+  Alembic round-trip if any schema changes (none anticipated — all new routes read existing tables).
+- Frontend: `npm test` green, `npm run lint`, `npm run build` green; manual smoke of the full loop
+  (register → KYC → bank link → deposit → assign portfolio → order → SSE fill push → statement →
+  export) against a running `make up && make dev` backend.
+- `mockClient.js` has zero remaining importers before deletion — verified by grep, not assumption.

Subject: [PATCH 02/19] feat(frontend): wire portfolio, orders pricing, and
 chat to the real backend

- portfoliosApi.js now calls GET/POST /portfolios/models and /assignment
  instead of mockClient; drops the fabricated securities/price table.
- useSecurities derives the orderable universe from the real models
  response (deduped target_weights) instead of a mock quote endpoint.
- OrderForm collects the reference price from the customer directly,
  since no quote endpoint exists.
- ModelCard/PortfolioPage updated to the real field names
  (weight_pct, model_portfolio_id) and a static per-model description
  (no description field in the real response).
- chatApi/useChatStream replaced the fake word-splitting reveal with a
  real fetch + ReadableStream consumer of the existing chat SSE endpoint.

Subject: [PATCH 03/19] feat(frontend): wire fees and the admin fee panel to
 the real backend
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- feesApi.js now calls GET /fees and POST /payment-methods instead of
  mockClient; drops the invented month_to_date_gain and payment_method
  fields (neither exists on the real response).
- PaymentMethodForm sends one of Stripe's fixed test-mode payment
  method tokens (pm_card_visa, etc.) to the real endpoint rather than a
  brand/last-4 string pair — a genuinely live sandbox call once
  STRIPE_SECRET_KEY (test mode) is configured, no Elements UI needed.
- useCustomerFees/CustomerFeesPanel (admin) now call feesApi.getForCustomer
  instead of the adminCustomersApi mock, which drops getFees entirely.
- Fixes two regressions this surfaced: HoldingsTable and DashboardPage
  still read the old target_weight/model_id field names the mock used;
  LotTable depended on useSecurities' now-removed reference_price, so
  lotsApi's own mock seed now carries its own current_price per lot.

Subject: [PATCH 04/19] feat(frontend): label the still-mocked screens as
 Simulated
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New SimulatedBadge (design-system.md §8.3's neutral provenance-tag
pattern, generalized past its one named case) placed on the customer
directory, customer detail's profile/KYC-override sections, tax lots,
and the statement export button — the three domains this pass didn't
wire to a backend (no route exists yet: S8's /lots, /admin/customers*,
/admin/kyc-overrides, /statements/<period>/export). Honest
real-vs-simulated labelling, not new hardening.

Subject: [PATCH 05/19] feat(frontend): parameterize nginx's backend proxy
 target for deployment

nginx.conf hardcoded proxy_pass to http://backend:8000, which only
resolves inside docker-compose's own network. Renamed to
nginx.conf.template and switched to \${BACKEND_URL}, rendered by
nginx's own built-in template mechanism
(/docker-entrypoint.d/20-envsubst-on-templates.sh) at container start
- Dockerfile sets a default of http://backend:8000 so the local
docker-compose flow is unaffected; a deployed environment (Azure
Container Apps) overrides it to the backend's actual reachable FQDN.
Verified locally: built the image, confirmed the template renders with
a custom BACKEND_URL and nginx starts and serves the SPA correctly.

Subject: [PATCH 06/19] fix(frontend): correct nginx reverse-proxy config for
 Azure deployment

Three real bugs found deploying to Azure Container Apps, all
reproducible and fixed independently of the platform quirk that
surfaced them:

- Missing proxy_http_version 1.1 + an unforwarded Connection header
  caused nginx's own proxy module to return 426 Upgrade Required
  whenever the ingress-to-container hop set Connection/Upgrade headers
  nginx then blindly forwarded to a plain HTTP/1.1 upstream that never
  completed the requested upgrade.
- proxy_buffering was never disabled for /api/, so the chat SSE
  endpoint would have buffered its entire response instead of
  streaming tokens incrementally.
- BACKEND_URL should reference the backend Container App's
  cluster-internal short name (http://backend), not its public FQDN --
  routing east-west traffic back out through the environment's shared
  external ingress gateway was consistently unreliable (intermittent
  TLS resets), while the internal service name is stable.

Verified against a live deployment: 10/10 consecutive requests
succeeded, plus a full register -> login -> portfolios -> fees -> chat
SSE smoke test through the public frontend URL.

Subject: [PATCH 07/19] fix(backend): use the attached PaymentMethod's own id,
 not the input token

Stripe's fixed test-mode tokens (pm_card_visa etc.) each materialize a
new PaymentMethod object on .attach() -- the real id differs from the
token passed in. StripeBillingAdapter reused the input id for the
follow-up Customer.modify() call, which fails Stripe's own "must be
attached to the customer" check whenever a fixed test token is used
(as opposed to a genuine pre-existing pm_... id).

Found live: deploying the MVP with a real Stripe test-mode key and
exercising POST /payment-methods end-to-end surfaced a real 500 that
no prior test caught, because the contract test's own assertion
(stripe_payment_method_id == the input token) only held for the fake
adapter and silently encoded the same wrong assumption. Loosened that
assertion to what the port actually guarantees; the real-adapter
contract test (requires_credentials) now passes against the live
sandbox.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- Wire four frontend domains to the real backend (portfolio, fees, chat, the admin fee panel),
+  replacing `mockClient` calls with real `apiClient` requests: `portfoliosApi`/`OrderForm` drop the

+  the mock invented (`month_to_date_gain`, `payment_method`) that the backend doesn't return;
+  `chatApi`/`useChatStream` replace the fake word-splitting reveal with a real `fetch` +
+  `ReadableStream` consumer of the existing chat SSE endpoint; `PaymentMethodForm` sends one of
+  Stripe's fixed test-mode payment-method tokens to the real `POST /payment-methods` endpoint — a
+  genuinely live sandbox call, not simulated. The three domains with no backend route yet (tax
+  lots, admin customer directory/detail/KYC-override, statement export) stay mocked, now with a
+  visible "Simulated" tag (`components/SimulatedBadge`, generalizing design-system.md §8.3's
+  pattern) rather than looking indistinguishable from the real screens.
+- Fix a real bug in `StripeBillingAdapter.attach_payment_method`, found live: it reused the
+  caller-supplied `payment_method_id` for the follow-up `Customer.modify()` call, but Stripe's
+  fixed test-mode tokens (`pm_card_visa` etc.) each materialize a *new* PaymentMethod object on

+  `http://backend:8000`, and fix two real nginx reverse-proxy bugs found deploying to Azure

+  proxy module returned 426 Upgrade Required), and no `proxy_buffering off` on `/api/`, which
+  would have buffered the entire chat SSE response instead of streaming it token-by-token.
+- Deploy an MVP to Azure Container Apps (`trueup-mvp-rg`, `centralus`): Postgres Flexible Server,
+  a Key Vault backing real envelope encryption via the backend's managed identity, Redis as an
+  internal Container App, and the existing Dockerfiles built for `linux/amd64` and pushed to a new

 ## Decisions
 
+### 2026-09-06 01:30 — MVP-first pivot: wire four real domains, skip new tests/hardening, deploy to Azure
+
+- **User redirected mid-plan**: an exhaustive frontend-completion design had just been written
+  (all six mocked domains, a full ADR 20 SSE fan-out, real Stripe Elements, one test file per
+  component — `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-05-frontend-completion-design.md`). Instructed
+  instead to ship an MVP fast — "don't worry about security and tests right now" — then deploy.
+  Re-scoped rather than blindly complied: confirmed with the user that this meant *skip new*
+  hardening/tests, not remove any existing control (CSRF, RLS, session/auth, rate limits, ledger
+  immutability stay untouched — verified after the fact via `git diff --stat` showing zero
+  `backend/app/` changes from the frontend rewiring itself).
+- **Scope actually shipped**: portfolio, fees, chat, and the admin fee panel wired to the real
+  backend (the four domains whose routes already existed); lots, admin-customers, and statement
+  export stay mocked with a visible "Simulated" tag (a rubric honesty requirement, not new
+  hardening, so building it stayed in scope). Order pricing: customer enters the reference price
+  directly rather than inventing a quote source. Payment method: wired genuinely live using
+  Stripe's fixed test-mode tokens rather than building Stripe Elements — a real sandbox call, less
+  UI work.
+- **Two real bugs found only by actually deploying, not by any test that existed before this
+  session**: nginx's reverse-proxy config was missing `proxy_http_version 1.1`/cleared
+  `Connection` header (426 Upgrade Required on every proxied request) and `proxy_buffering off`
+  (would have broken SSE streaming silently — no error, just no incremental tokens); and
+  `StripeBillingAdapter.attach_payment_method` reused the input token instead of the real attached
+  PaymentMethod's id, which only a live Stripe call surfaces — the contract test's own assertion
+  had encoded the same wrong assumption, since it happened to match the fake adapter's echo
+  behavior. Both fixed and covered: the nginx fix by a 10/10-request live stability check plus a
+  full core-loop smoke test, the Stripe fix by loosening the contract test's over-specified
+  assertion and re-running it against the real sandbox (`requires_credentials`), green.
+- **Deployed to Azure Container Apps** (`trueup-mvp-rg`, `centralus` — `eastus2` was tried first
+  for the resource group/ACR, which worked, but Postgres Flexible Server creation was rejected
+  there as region-restricted for this subscription; `centralus` allowed it, so Postgres/Key
+  Vault/Container Apps environment/both apps all live there instead, resource group stays a
+  cross-region container). ACR Tasks (`az acr build`) were also blocked on this subscription
+  ("TasksOperationsNotAllowed") — built and pushed images from the local Docker daemon instead,
+  explicitly for `linux/amd64` (the first push was Apple Silicon's native arch, which Container
+  Apps rejected outright).
+- **Real Key Vault set up, not deferred**, despite the "MVP fast" framing: the backend defaults to
+  `FLASK_ENV=production`, and without Key Vault configured it refuses to boot at all rather than
+  silently falling back to `LocalDevCipher` (`app/__init__.py`'s own explicit guard, ADR 23). The
+  alternative — set `FLASK_ENV=development` to unblock — would have also disabled HSTS, forced
+  HTTPS, and the session cookie's `Secure` flag, directly violating "don't touch existing
+  controls." Standing up the vault (one RSA key, the backend's system-assigned managed identity
+  granted Key Vault Crypto User) was less work than that trade-off implied, and correctness won.
+- **Cut, explicitly, for this pass**: new automated tests (none added), the ADR 20 real-time SSE
+  push fan-out, Stripe Elements, the three still-missing S8 backend routes, and Postgres
+  VNet-integration (public access left open on the Flexible Server for MVP speed). All five listed
+  in `README.md`'s new Deployment section and the still-current design spec above, not silently
+  dropped.

+Resources: Postgres Flexible Server (`trueup-mvp-pg`, Burstable B1ms), Azure Container Registry
+(`trueupmvpacr`), a Key Vault (`trueup-mvp-kv`) backing real envelope encryption via the backend's
+system-assigned managed identity (no `LOCAL_CIPHER_KEY` in this environment), and Redis running as
+an internal-only Container App (ADR 13/15: sessions and rate limits only, never financial state).
+
+**Deliberate MVP-speed shortcuts, not silent gaps — tracked here until hardened:**
+- Postgres allows public access from any IP (`--public-access 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255`) rather than
+  VNet-integrated private access.
+- Three domains are still mocked client-side, honestly labelled "Simulated" in the UI: tax lots,
+  the admin customer directory/detail/KYC-override, and statement export — S8's `/lots`,
+  `/admin/customers*`, and `/admin/kyc-overrides/<id>` routes don't exist yet
+  (`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-05-frontend-completion-design.md` has the full design for
+  closing this).
+- No real-time SSE push (ADR 20/S12 §6) — every screen refetches on mount instead, the documented
+  fallback.
+- No new automated test coverage was added for this pass (explicit scope cut — ship fast, harden
+  after); the exhaustive frontend test suite is tracked in the same design doc above.
+- Alpaca and Plaid stay "Planned live" (unchanged this pass) — only Stripe Billing's
+  `POST /payment-methods` was verified genuinely live this deployment, via Stripe's fixed
+  test-mode payment-method tokens (`pm_card_visa` etc.), confirmed against the real Stripe test
+  API both by the `requires_credentials` contract test and a live request against the deployed URL.

 ## Architecture
 
 - Design specs: [`docs/specs/`](docs/specs/) — S0 (foundation) through S12 (production operations).

Subject: [PATCH 09/19] ci: add GitHub Actions CI/CD, fix a flaky test and two
 bandit findings

Phase 1 of closing the gap audit: root CLAUDE.md requires lint, unit +
integration + API tests, coverage thresholds, dependency + secret
scanning, SAST, Docker build + image scan, and an Alembic migration
check on every PR, plus CD to Azure Container Apps gated on green CI
and manual approval -- none of this existed.

- .github/workflows/ci.yml: backend (ruff, mypy --strict, lint-imports,
  full pytest suite with the 77% coverage floor against real
  Postgres/Redis service containers, pip-audit, bandit, Alembic
  migration-drift check) and frontend (oxlint, build, npm audit) jobs,
  plus Gitleaks secret scanning and Trivy image scans on both Docker
  builds.
- .github/workflows/cd.yml: on green CI on main, build + push
  commit-SHA-tagged images (never :latest -- Container Apps does not
  reliably re-pull a moved tag), run migrations via the existing
  backend-migrate Container Apps Job, then update both Container Apps.
  Gated on the `production` GitHub Environment's manual approval.
- .github/dependabot.yml: uv, npm, GitHub Actions, and both Dockerfiles.

Fixed while proving the backend job actually goes green:
- test_cash_lock_serialization.py's concurrency test compared which of
  two independent Postgres connections' commit/unblock notifications a
  Python thread noticed first -- a genuine two-connection race, not a
  thread-scheduling one, so no amount of thread synchronization fixed
  it (confirmed by trying). Rewrote the assertion to measure the
  withdrawal thread's own blocking duration against its own monotonic
  clock instead; verified deterministic across 20 consecutive runs.
- bandit flagged two pre-existing, reviewed B608 false positives
  (static owner-authored DDL and an already-validated dynamic-SQL
  wrapper). Suppressed precisely at both lines with justification --
  the DDL one needed splitting its assignment from its .format() call
  first, since the flagged line was mid-string and a same-line comment
  there would have corrupted the generated SQL; verified the generated
  SQL is byte-identical and the chat security-perimeter tests still
  pass.

Verified: 687 backend tests green (0 failed), coverage 82.82% against
the 77% floor, ruff/mypy/import-linter clean, bandit clean, migration
drift check clean, frontend lint/build/audit clean, both Docker images
build on linux/amd64.

Subject: [PATCH 10/19] fix(ci): fix real bugs the first-ever clean CI run
 surfaced

The CI workflow from the previous commit had never actually run
against a truly clean checkout. It surfaced five genuine, pre-existing
issues -- none introduced by this change, all previously masked by
every local dev machine having a backend/.env:

- ci.yml: mypy/ruff steps ran without `working-directory: backend`,
  silently dropping backend/pyproject.toml's [tool.mypy] overrides
  (the pydantic plugin, the flask_*/alpaca/plaid ignore-missing-imports
  list) -- 34 spurious errors. Fixed by adding the working directory
  consistently across all backend-quality steps.
- ci.yml: the drift-check step's `git status --porcelain` reports
  paths relative to the repo root even when invoked from a
  `working-directory: backend` step -- stripped the prefix back off
  so the following grep/rm resolve the same file.
- ci.yml: `npm audit` was missing `working-directory: frontend`, so it
  ran at the repo root with no lockfile (ENOLOCK).
- ci.yml: aquasecurity/trivy-action@0.24.0 doesn't exist (tags are
  v-prefixed) -- pinned to the real v0.36.0.
- ci.yml: the migration-check job passed only DATABASE_URL_OWNER, but
  `app.config.Settings` validates all 7 required fields eagerly at
  construction even though alembic/env.py only reads
  sqlalchemy_url_owner -- added the full (non-secret, ephemeral-DB)
  env block.
- The deepest one: ~20 call sites across every webhook, funding, fees,
  chat, identity, orders, and admin/rebalance controller plus every
  scheduled job call the module-level get_settings() singleton
  directly instead of the app's injected test_settings, so its first
  construction still needs real env vars -- with no .env present, 22
  tests across 5 files failed with "7 validation errors for Settings"
  the moment CI actually ran clean. Fixed centrally with an autouse
  `_default_settings_env` fixture in tests/conftest.py (monkeypatch.
  setenv, reverted per test -- not a session-wide or import-time
  os.environ mutation, which was tried first and broke
  test_config.py's own deliberately env-isolated "missing setting"
  tests). Those tests were in turn hardened to explicitly delenv every
  COMPLETE key so they no longer depend on ambient env being clean --
  matching what their own docstring already claimed.

Verified: 687 backend tests green across 3 consecutive runs with a
fully clean environment (env -i, no .env, no shell exports) and
separately with .env present; ruff/mypy/lint-imports clean. Confirmed
live against the actual GitHub Actions run (PR #7), not just locally:
this fixes the failures that run surfaced in lint/types, tests,
migration-check, dependency-scan, and docker-build-and-scan.

Subject: [PATCH 11/19] fix(docker): patch a real frontend CVE and stop matrix
 fail-fast masking results

Docker build + Trivy scan (PR #7) failed once real vulnerability data
was involved: nginx:1.27-alpine's libssl3/libcrypto3 carried
CVE-2026-31789 (CRITICAL, fixed upstream in 3.3.7-r0, not yet in that
tag's build). Bumped to nginx:1.29-alpine and confirmed via `apk info`
it ships 3.5.6-r0 -- but a second local scan still found 34 HIGH
findings across libssl3/libuuid/libxml2/nghttp2-libs, all with fixes
already released in Alpine's package repo, just not yet folded into
Docker Hub's rebuild of that tag. Added `apk update && apk upgrade
--no-cache` in the runtime stage so the image tracks Alpine's own
(faster) patch cadence instead of waiting on the upstream image
rebuild; verified 0 findings with `trivy image` locally, `nginx -t`
still validates the rendered config, and the backend image (Debian
slim, apt-get) was independently confirmed already clean.

Also added `fail-fast: false` to the backend/frontend build matrix --
the frontend leg's failure had silently cancelled the backend leg
mid-scan ("The operation was canceled"), hiding its actual result.

Subject: [PATCH 12/19] fix(frontend): stop the dashboard white-screening on a
 balance/return fetch failure

BalanceCard/ReturnCard only branched on status 'loading'/'idle' before
falling through to the value-rendering branch -- any other status,
including 'error', called formatMoney(null)/formatPercent(null),
which construct a Decimal from null and throw (verified directly:
`new Decimal(null)` -> "DecimalError: Invalid argument: null"). With
no error boundary anywhere in the app, a single failed GET
/valuation/balance or /valuation/returns took down the whole
/dashboard route.

Added the explicit status === 'error' branch both components were
missing, rendering the same ErrorState-with-retry pattern already
used elsewhere (LotTable.jsx's precedent), and threaded error/refetch
from useBalance/useReturns through DashboardPage into both cards.

Verified: lint and build clean; the DecimalError is unreachable now
that 'error' status never reaches formatMoney/formatPercent.

Subject: [PATCH 13/19] fix(backend): wire up the job scheduler, outbox worker,
 and inbound-event dispatcher

An independent multi-agent audit (backend-audit) found three blocker-
class gaps: written, unit-tested code that nothing in the running
application ever actually invokes. Verified each by hand before
fixing, per this project's own established discipline.

- register_cli(app) existed with the exact right implementation and
  docstring ("Called by the application factory when CLI wiring is
  enabled") but create_app() never called it -- `flask jobs <name>`,
  the entrypoint Makefile's `job` target and every deployed Container
  Apps Job use, had no commands registered at all. One-line fix;
  verified `flask jobs --help` now lists all 8 commands.

- No `outbox-worker` CLI command existed. Without it, nothing ever
  drains `job_outbox` -- an order placed via POST /orders enqueues
  `submit_order_to_broker` and simply sits there forever; same for
  `charge_fee`. Added the command, routing each of the three task
  types this codebase's services actually enqueue
  (submit_order_to_broker, charge_fee, process_inbound_event) through
  a new OutboxTaskRouter (app/services/ops/outbox_task_router.py,
  unit-tested in isolation -- pure routing logic, no DB/provider
  needed, unlike the credential-gated CLI wiring around it).

- `InboundEventDispatcher.register(...)` was never called anywhere --
  its own module docstring already said so ("not yet wired end-to-
  end... tracked as owed operational work"). This is the one gap that
  silently breaks money-moving correctness even with the outbox worker
  running: Alpaca fills arrive over a websocket (ADR 22), not a
  request/response webhook, so TradeUpdatesConsumer.handle_message
  only records the InboundEvent -- applying the fill to the order/
  ledger/lot-consumption has no other path. Registered
  AlpacaTradeUpdateHandler for InboundEventSource.ALPACA in the new
  outbox-worker command. STRIPE/PLAID already apply their effect
  synchronously inside their webhook controllers, so their own
  process_inbound_event row is a durability record, not a required
  second application -- registered as explicit no-ops so the
  dispatcher's "unregistered source is a wiring gap" check doesn't
  retry-then-dead-letter every Stripe/Plaid webhook's outbox row.

Two more real bugs surfaced only by actually constructing these
objects together for the first time:
- OutboxRepository/OutboxUnitOfWork's Protocols (app/workers/outbox.py)
  didn't structurally match the concrete OpsUnitOfWork/JobOutboxRepository
  they were written to accept -- outbox_id: object vs the real
  uuid.UUID, a bare `outbox: OutboxRepository` attribute vs a real
  @cached_property, and a loose `__exit__(*args: object)` vs
  UnitOfWork's real 3-argument signature. Fixed to match the exact,
  already-proven pattern event_intake.py's equivalent Protocol uses.
  Never caught before because nothing had ever type-checked a real
  UnitOfWork against these Protocols.

Added `outbox_max_attempts` (Settings, default 5) since OutboxWorker
needs one and no generic setting existed. Added a `worker` service to
docker-compose.yml (same image as `backend`, `flask jobs outbox-worker`
as its command) so local dev actually has a running worker, matching
Makefile's `worker` target which previously had no command to invoke.

Verified: 691 backend tests green (4 new), ruff/mypy --strict/
lint-imports clean. Live smoke test of `flask jobs outbox-worker`
against real local Alpaca paper + Stripe test credentials: clean
startup, correctly constructs real adapters, blocks on LISTEN with no
errors. Repeated with credentials unset: falls back to FakeBrokerAdapter
with a loud warning rather than crashing or silently looking identical
to production. Also verified running as the actual `worker` container
via `docker compose --profile app up worker` -- same clean result.

From: BADRI NARAYANAN <badhrirajen@gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH 14/19] =?UTF-8?q?feat(backend):=20add=20S12=20=C2=A73's=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?missing=20indexes?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

S12 §3's own stated rule: every FK gets an explicit supporting index
(Postgres does not create one automatically) and every named
WHERE/ORDER BY access pattern gets a composite index added at the time
the table is created -- never bolted on ad hoc later. An independent
audit found 8 of the 11 named indexes missing entirely (verified: none
of the seven affected model classes declared them, so this needed
adding to the ORM models before autogenerating, not just a hand-
written migration -- otherwise the next autogenerate would see them
in the DB but not the model metadata and want to drop them again).

- account(customer_id, role) -- every cash-policy/balance query, S1 §5
- posting(account_id) -- S1's balance-summing queries
- journal_entry(effective_date), journal_entry(recorded_at) --
  S1/ADR 1's bitemporal range queries
- order(customer_id, status) -- S3 §6's order list/status queries
- tax_lot(customer_id, security_id, acquired_at) -- S5 §4's FIFO
  ordering
- reconciliation_break(status, opened_at) -- S7 §7's aged-break list
- chat_message(session_id, created_at) -- S11 §6's message history

daily_close, order_event, and fee_accrual were already covered by
existing UNIQUE-backed indexes; admin_audit_log already had its own.

Verified: migration applies clean against real Postgres, all 8 indexes
confirmed present via pg_indexes, a second autogenerate against the
now-migrated database produces an empty diff (no drift), 691 tests
green, ruff/mypy --strict clean.

Subject: [PATCH 15/19] docs: ADR 24 + S13 spec for the MCP agent surface

Non-negotiable #5 requires "a working MCP surface, not a design for
one" -- minimum three read tools and one write tool landing in a human
approval queue, plus a written list of operations never handed to an
autonomous agent. Nothing satisfies this today; S11's chat assistant
is an HTTP+SSE endpoint, not an MCP server, and has no write path.

ADR 24 records the decision and its rationale: read tools reuse ADR
19's proven curated-view/least-privilege-role boundary directly rather
than re-deriving it; all three write tools (resolve a reconciliation
break, override a KYC verdict, propose a rebalance) only ever insert a
pending agent_action_request row -- approval, not the tool call, is
what executes the underlying already-tested service method. Includes
the required written list of operations never handed to an agent.

S13 is the implementation-level spec: the agent_action_request and
staff_api_token schemas, the six tool contracts, the four approval
routes and their execution mapping back to existing services, edge
cases (concurrent approval, revoked token mid-session, a resolved-out-
from-under-you break), and the testing strategy including a real MCP
client hitting a running server end-to-end.

+# 24 — MCP agent surface: read-only tools plus a durable, adviser-approved write queue
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+`docs/requirements/non-negotiables.md` #5 requires *"a working MCP surface, not a design for
+one"* — minimum three read tools and one write tool that lands in a human approval queue, plus a
+written list of operations never handed to an autonomous agent. Nothing satisfies this today.
+S11's chat assistant (ADR 18/19) is an HTTP+SSE endpoint that happens to use an LLM internally; it
+is not an MCP server, speaks no MCP transport, and has no write path at all — it cannot be
+stretched to meet this non-negotiable without becoming a different thing.
+
+This surface exists for a different consumer than S11's: an external MCP client (an operator's own
+agent tooling, e.g. Claude Desktop or a custom ops agent), not Trueup's own customer-facing chat.
+The two share a security posture — both let an LLM decide what to query against a database holding
+real money and PII — but not an implementation: S11's tool runs *inside* Trueup's own request
+cycle, authenticated by the caller's existing session; an MCP client is a separate process
+connecting over its own transport, with no session cookie to present.
+
+## Decision
+
+### Reuse ADR 19's read boundary; this ADR does not re-derive it
+
+Every read tool executes through the same `trueup_chat_readonly` role and the same eight curated
+views (`app/models/chat/curated_views.py`) ADR 19 already built and proved: **the database is the
+boundary, not a system prompt** — this ADR's read tools inherit that argument in full rather than
+restating it. A read tool is a thin translation from an MCP tool call's arguments to one of these
+views' existing `SELECT`s; no read tool executes an LLM-composed query the way S11's `execute_
+read_only_sql` does; there is nothing here as flexible as that to bound, since these three tools
+have fixed, named shapes (below), not free-text SQL.
+
+### Read tools (minimum three, per the non-negotiable)
+
+1. **`get_portfolio_summary(customer_id)`** — balance, holdings, and assigned model, via
+   `v_customer_balance`/`v_holdings` (the same views S11 already curates).
+2. **`get_transaction_history(customer_id, since)`** — via `v_transaction_history`.
+3. **`list_open_reconciliation_breaks()`** — the aged break queue (S7 §7), adviser-scope only (no
+   `customer_id` argument — this tool is inherently cross-tenant, so it authenticates as an
+   adviser-equivalent principal, never `trueup_chat_readonly`, which ADR 19 deliberately grants no
+   table access outside the eight per-customer curated views).
+
+### Write tools: propose, never execute (all three, per this project's own decision)
+
+An MCP write tool call never touches `order`, `customer.kyc_status`, or `reconciliation_break`
+directly. It validates its arguments, then inserts exactly one `agent_action_request` row
+(below) with `status = 'pending'` and returns that row's id. Nothing else happens until a human
+adviser acts on it through the approval UI (§"Approval flow"). This is the whole answer to "a
+write tool that lands in a human approval queue" — there is no code path, tested or
+untested, where an MCP tool call itself changes money-moving or compliance state.
+
+1. **`propose_reconciliation_break_resolution(break_id, resolution_note)`**
+2. **`propose_kyc_override(customer_id, reason)`**
+3. **`propose_rebalance(customer_id)`** — proposes *running* `DriftEvaluationService`'s existing
+   evaluation for one customer now, ahead of its monthly schedule; approval executes the same
+   `MonthlyRebalanceJob`-owned order-placement path (S9) that already exists, for that one
+   customer only. This tool never proposes a specific trade an LLM invented — the trade a human
+   approves is whatever the existing, already-tested drift-evaluation logic would itself produce.
+
+### `agent_action_request` (new table, append-only in spirit)
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `id` | uuid, PK | |
+| `action` | enum | `resolve_break` \| `kyc_override` \| `rebalance` |
+| `arguments` | jsonb | The tool call's own arguments, exactly as received — never re-derived at approval time, so what an adviser reviews is what was actually proposed |
+| `requesting_agent` | text | Free-text client identity the MCP transport reports (whatever a client sends as its own name) — an operational label, not an authorization boundary; every write tool call still requires the caller to present a valid adviser/admin credential (below), same as any other privileged action |
+| `justification` | text | Required, non-empty — the tool call's own stated reason (e.g. a KYC override's `reason` argument) |
+| `status` | enum | `pending` \| `approved` \| `rejected` \| `executed` \| `execution_failed` |
+| `reviewed_by` | uuid, FK `staff.id`, nullable | Set on `approved`/`rejected` |
+| `reviewed_at` | timestamptz, nullable | |
+| `review_note` | text, nullable | The adviser's own note, distinct from the proposal's `justification` |
+| `executed_at` | timestamptz, nullable | Set only once the underlying service call actually completes |
+| `created_at` | timestamptz | |
+
+Rows are never deleted and never edited outside the single `pending → {approved, rejected}` and
+`approved → {executed, execution_failed}` transitions — the same single-transition-guard shape
+`kyc_session.resolve()` (S2 §3.2) and `reconciliation_break` already use in this codebase, applied
+here for the identical audit reason.
+
+### Approval flow
+
+1. A write tool call inserts a `pending` row (above). The MCP tool's own return value is just the
+   row's id and `status: "pending"` — an agent calling this tool never learns whether its proposal
+   was good, only that it was recorded.
+2. An adviser/admin session lists pending requests via a new `GET /api/v1/admin/agent-requests`
+   route (same `@requires_role("adviser", "admin")` shape every other admin route in this codebase
+   uses) and approves or rejects one via `POST /api/v1/admin/agent-requests/<id>/approve` /
+   `.../reject`, both `@audited` (the same `admin_audit_log` sink every other privileged write in
+   this codebase already commits through — an approval is a privileged action in its own right,
+   audited identically to resolving a break or overriding KYC directly).
+3. **Approval executes; it does not merely flip a status.** `approve` calls the *existing*,
+   already-tested service method for that action (`ReconciliationBreakService.resolve`,
+   `KycService`'s override path from S8/ADR-24's own §"KYC override" work, or
+   `DriftEvaluationService`/the rebalance order-placement path) inside the same transaction that
+   marks the row `executed`, using the row's own stored `arguments` — never re-prompting the
+   agent, never trusting anything the agent might say between proposal and approval. A failure
+   during execution marks the row `execution_failed` with the error recorded, never silently
+   `approved`-and-stuck.
+4. Rejecting a row is terminal — a rejected proposal is not retried automatically; a new proposal
+   is a new tool call and a new row.
+
+### Authentication: a scoped Trueup credential, not the MCP transport's own identity
+
+The MCP server accepts connections authenticated by a long-lived, adviser-scoped API token (a new
+`staff_api_token` table: `id`, `staff_id` FK, `token_hash`, `created_at`, `revoked_at`) presented
+as an MCP transport-level bearer credential — never a raw database credential, never Trueup's own
+session cookie (an MCP client is not a browser). Every read and write tool call resolves the
+calling token to a `staff_id`/role exactly as a decorated Flask route resolves `current_user`, and
+every write tool call's resulting `agent_action_request.requesting_agent` field additionally
+records that resolved identity, not just the client-reported name. A revoked token is rejected
+immediately (`revoked_at IS NULL` checked on every call, not just at connection time) — the same
+posture ADR 15 already takes toward session invalidation.
+
+### Transport and deployment
+
+The `mcp` package (already a transitive dependency of `openai-agents`, pinned explicitly by this
+ADR's implementation since it is now a direct one) runs its own ASGI server
+(`MCPServer.run_streamable_http_async`) — a separate process from the WSGI Flask app, the same
+"different process, same database, same layered `app/services/`" shape `outbox-worker` (ADR 13)
+already establishes for a different reason. Deployed as its own Container App
+(`mcp-server`), reusing the backend image with a different entrypoint, exactly as `worker` reuses
+it today.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The non-negotiable is met with no new trust boundary beyond what ADR 19 already proved: reads
+  go through the identical curated-view/least-privilege-role perimeter; writes never execute
+  without a human in the loop, and when they do execute, they run through the same service code
+  every other path into that state change already uses and already tests — there is no
+  agent-only code path to a money-moving or compliance state.
+- A new attack surface is a new credential type (`staff_api_token`) that must be issued, rotated,
+  and revoked carefully — tracked as an operational runbook item, not designed further here.
+- Latency: approval is asynchronous by design (a human must act), so no write tool can be used in
+  a synchronous, low-latency agent loop — an accepted trade-off, since the entire point is that
+  nothing here is autonomous.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Let the agent execute directly, audit afterward.** Rejected outright: this is exactly the
+  autonomy this non-negotiable exists to prevent, and root `CLAUDE.md`'s LLM Top 10 posture
+  ("treat model input and output as untrusted") forbids treating an LLM's tool call as
+  self-authorizing for a money-moving or compliance action.
+- **A generic "approve any JSON payload" queue**, one row shape for all three actions. Rejected:
+  a typed `action` enum with action-specific `arguments` validation at insert time catches a
+  malformed proposal before it ever reaches an adviser's queue, rather than surfacing a raw,
+  unvalidated JSON blob for a human to interpret under time pressure.
+- **Reuse S11's existing OpenAI Agent SDK tool-calling loop as the "MCP surface."** Rejected: it is
+  not an MCP server (no MCP transport, no external client can connect to it), and satisfying the
+  non-negotiable's literal text ("a working MCP surface") requires an actual MCP protocol
+  endpoint, not an internally-similar mechanism under a different name.
+
+## Written list: operations never handed to an autonomous agent (part of this non-negotiable)
+
+- **Moving money or units directly** — no tool executes `DepositService`/`WithdrawalService`/order
+  submission itself; `propose_rebalance` only ever proposes running the *existing*, human-designed
+  drift-evaluation policy, never a trade amount an LLM invented.
+- **Mutating an immutable ledger row** — no tool writes `journal_entry`/`posting` under any
+  circumstance; the ledger's append-only invariant (ADR 1) has no agent-facing exception.
+- **Publishing or restating a statement** — S6's snapshot/restatement mechanism stays
+  system/adviser-triggered only; a wrong statement is a customer-facing legal document, not a
+  reversible operational action.
+- **Approving its own or another agent's proposal** — approval requires a human adviser/admin
+  credential; no service account or agent identity is ever granted the `adviser`/`admin` role this
+  approval flow checks.
+- **Bypassing KYC/account-approval gates directly** — `propose_kyc_override` only ever creates a
+  proposal; only a human's `approve` call can change `customer.kyc_status`.
+- **Altering a customer's payment instrument or bank link** — no tool reads or writes
+  `payment_method`/`bank_link` at all, read or write; fee-payment and funding instruments are
+  entirely outside this surface's scope.

+# S13 — MCP Agent Surface: Design Spec
+
+Date: 2026-09-06
+Status: Draft, pending review
+Requirements covered: `docs/requirements/non-negotiables.md` #5 (this spec's own requirement —
+no FR/NFR in `requirements.md` names it, since the non-negotiables predate and sit outside that
+catalogue)
+Depends on: S0 (foundation — layering, `UnitOfWork`, `@audited`/`@requires_role`, RLS), S7
+(reconciliation breaks), S2 (KYC), S9 (rebalancing), ADR 17 (RLS), ADR 19 (curated-view read
+boundary — this spec's read tools reuse it directly rather than re-deriving it)
+Consumed by: nothing — this is an external-facing operational surface, not depended on by any
+other sub-project
+Decision record: `docs/decisions/24-mcp-agent-surface-approval-queue.md` — read that first; it
+carries the *why* for every mechanism this document only specifies the *how* of.
+
+## 1. Purpose
+
+Build a real MCP (Model Context Protocol) server an external agent client can connect to, exposing
+three read tools and three write tools, where every write is a proposal landing in a durable,
+adviser-approved queue rather than an executed action. ADR 24 is the full rationale; this spec is
+the concrete schema, routes, and module layout an implementer builds from.
+
+## 2. Non-goals
+
+- A second natural-language interface competing with S11's chat assistant — this surface has no
+  conversational UI of its own; it is a protocol endpoint for an external MCP client.
+- Any new business logic — every write tool's *approved* execution calls an existing, already-
+  tested service method (S7's break resolution, S2/S8's KYC override, S9's drift evaluation +
+  order placement). This spec adds no new financial logic, only the proposal/approval scaffolding
+  around calling what already exists.
+- Autonomous execution of any kind — see ADR 24's "written list" section, reproduced nowhere else;
+  that list is normative.
+
+## 3. Schema
+
+### 3.1 `agent_action_request`
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `id` | uuid, PK, default `gen_random_uuid()` | |
+| `action` | enum `agent_action_type`: `resolve_break` \| `kyc_override` \| `rebalance` | |
+| `arguments` | jsonb, not null | Exactly the tool call's own arguments (§4.2 per-tool shapes) |
+| `requesting_agent` | text, not null | The resolved `staff_api_token` identity's own label (§3.2), not a client-reported string |
+| `justification` | text, not null, `CHECK (length(justification) > 0)` | |
+| `status` | enum `agent_action_status`: `pending` \| `approved` \| `rejected` \| `executed` \| `execution_failed`, default `pending` | |
+| `reviewed_by` | uuid, FK `staff.id`, nullable | |
+| `reviewed_at` | timestamptz, nullable | |
+| `review_note` | text, nullable | |
+| `execution_error` | text, nullable | Set only alongside `execution_failed` |
+| `executed_at` | timestamptz, nullable | |
+| `created_at` | timestamptz, not null, `server_default=now()` | |
+
+Constraints (mirroring `reconciliation_break`'s own `resolved_break_requires_resolver` pattern):
+
+- `CHECK ((status NOT IN ('approved','rejected')) OR (reviewed_by IS NOT NULL AND reviewed_at IS NOT NULL))`
+- `CHECK ((status <> 'executed') OR (executed_at IS NOT NULL))`
+- `CHECK ((status <> 'execution_failed') OR (execution_error IS NOT NULL))`
+- No RLS tenant-isolation policy: this table has no single owning customer (some rows reference
+  one via `arguments->>'customer_id'`, but the row itself is adviser/admin-scoped, matching
+  `reconciliation_break`'s own nullable-`customer_id` precedent) — access control is
+  `@requires_role("adviser", "admin")` on every route, the same as `admin_breaks`.
+- `REVOKE UPDATE, DELETE` from `trueup_app` is **not** applied here (unlike ledger tables) — the
+  single-transition status updates above are legitimate application writes, not ledger mutation;
+  `trueup_app` still cannot `DELETE` (append-only in spirit, per ADR 24).
+
+### 3.2 `staff_api_token`
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `id` | uuid, PK | |
+| `staff_id` | uuid, FK `staff.id`, not null | |
+| `label` | text, not null | Human-readable, e.g. "ops laptop MCP client" — shown in the token-management UI, never the raw token |
+| `token_hash` | text, not null, unique | SHA-256 of the raw token; the raw value is shown exactly once, at creation, never stored or logged (same handling discipline as a password) |
+| `created_at` | timestamptz, not null | |
+| `revoked_at` | timestamptz, nullable | |
+
+Issuing a token is itself `@audited`; a new `POST /api/v1/admin/staff-api-tokens` route
+(adviser/admin, self-service for one's own `staff_id` — an adviser issues a token for themselves,
+never for another staff member) returns the raw token once. `DELETE
+/api/v1/admin/staff-api-tokens/<id>` sets `revoked_at`.
+
+## 4. MCP server
+
+### 4.1 Module layout
+
+```
+app/mcp/
+  __init__.py        # MCPServer construction, tool registration
+  auth.py            # staff_api_token bearer resolution -> (staff_id, role)
+  read_tools.py       # the 3 read tools, each a thin call into ADR 19's curated views
+  write_tools.py       # the 3 write tools, each validating args then inserting one row
+  entrypoint.py        # run_streamable_http_async() wiring, the process's own main()
+```
+
+Follows the layering rule (`app/mcp/` sits alongside `app/controllers/` — both are entry-point
+layers calling into `app/services/`, never the reverse); `import-linter` gets a new contract
+mirroring the existing `controllers -> services` one, extended to `app.mcp -> app.services`.
+
+### 4.2 Tool contracts
+
+**Read tools** (bearer token resolves to a `staff_id`; `trueup_chat_readonly`-equivalent DB access
+for the two customer-scoped tools, ADR 19's own role for `list_open_reconciliation_breaks`):
+
+- `get_portfolio_summary(customer_id: str) -> {balance, holdings, assigned_model}`
+- `get_transaction_history(customer_id: str, since: str | None) -> {transactions: [...]}`
+- `list_open_reconciliation_breaks() -> {breaks: [...]}` (adviser-scope; no `customer_id` arg)
+
+**Write tools** — each validates its own arguments (a malformed `customer_id`/`break_id` is
+rejected at the tool-call boundary, before any row exists — never accepted into the queue as
+"pending" only to fail review), then does exactly:
+```python
+request_id = uow.agent_action_requests.create(
+    action=..., arguments={...}, requesting_agent=staff_label, justification=justification,
+)
+uow.commit()
+return {"request_id": str(request_id), "status": "pending"}
+```
+
+- `propose_reconciliation_break_resolution(break_id: str, resolution_note: str) -> {request_id, status}`
+- `propose_kyc_override(customer_id: str, reason: str) -> {request_id, status}`
+- `propose_rebalance(customer_id: str) -> {request_id, status}`
+
+## 5. Approval API (`app/controllers/admin/agent_requests.py`)
+
+| Route | Method | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `/api/v1/admin/agent-requests` | GET | List, filterable by `status` (default `pending`), paginated (`app/core/pagination.py`) |
+| `/api/v1/admin/agent-requests/<id>` | GET | One request's full detail |
+| `/api/v1/admin/agent-requests/<id>/approve` | POST | `@audited`; body: `{review_note: str | None}`; executes the underlying service call in the same transaction, sets `executed`/`execution_failed` |
+| `/api/v1/admin/agent-requests/<id>/reject` | POST | `@audited`; body: `{review_note: str}` (required — a rejection needs a stated reason) |
+
+All four `@requires_role("adviser", "admin")`, same shape as `app/controllers/admin/rebalance.py`.
+
+### 5.1 Execution mapping (approve only)
+
+| `action` | Calls |
+| --- | --- |
+| `resolve_break` | The same service `POST /admin/breaks/<id>/resolve` already calls, with `arguments.resolution_note` |
+| `kyc_override` | The same service `POST /admin/kyc-overrides/<customer_id>` calls (S8/Phase 2), with `arguments.reason` becoming the override's own reason |
+| `rebalance` | `DriftEvaluationService.evaluate` + the same order-placement path `MonthlyRebalanceJob` uses, for `arguments.customer_id` only |
+
+## 6. Edge and corner cases
+
+1. **A proposal references an entity that no longer exists by approval time** (a break already
+   resolved by someone else, a customer since deleted — customers are never hard-deleted in this
+   system, so realistically "already resolved") — the execution call's own existing not-found/
+   already-resolved error surfaces as `execution_failed` with that error recorded, never a silent
+   no-op and never a crash.
+2. **Two advisers approve the same request concurrently** — `approve`/`reject` both take a row
+   lock (`SELECT ... FOR UPDATE`, matching `OrderRepository.get_for_update`'s precedent) and the
+   `pending -> {approved,rejected}` single-transition `CHECK` makes the second call fail cleanly
+   (`ValidationError`/409, not a double-execution).
+3. **A revoked `staff_api_token` is used mid-session** — every tool call re-checks
+   `revoked_at IS NULL`, not just at MCP connection time (ADR 24).
+
+## 7. Testing strategy
+
+- Unit: `agent_action_request`'s status-transition guard (mirrors `reconciliation_break`'s own
+  transition tests); each write tool's argument validation.
+- Integration: the row-lock/concurrent-approval race (edge case 2); RLS/role behavior for
+  `list_open_reconciliation_breaks` under a non-adviser token.
+- API: the four approval routes — happy path, validation errors, authn/authz, the execution-
+  mapping table's three rows actually calling through to their real service and changing real
+  state (not mocked), execution failure recorded correctly.
+- Contract-style: a minimal MCP client (the `mcp` package ships a client for exactly this) calling
+  each of the six tools end-to-end against a running `app.mcp` server in a test — the one place
+  this spec's own transport actually gets exercised, not just the service calls underneath it.
+
+## 8. Open parameters (not blocking this spec)
+
+- Token rotation cadence and a bulk-revoke-on-offboarding runbook — operational policy, not a
+  schema or code concern this spec resolves.
+- Whether `list_open_reconciliation_breaks` needs its own pagination for a very large break queue
+  — deferred until real volume argues for it, consistent with S12 §2's own "add a new migration
+  when a real pattern demands it" posture.

- Response always reads TaxLot.adjusted_basis / LotConsumption.realized_gain_loss

+"""Tax lot routes (S8 §3, data owned by S5) -- `GET /api/v1/lots`: quantity, cost basis (original

+
+Every route is authenticated and tenant-scoped (root `CLAUDE.md`'s non-negotiable), following
+`app/controllers/api/statements.py`'s exact pattern: a `customer` session only ever sees its own
+lots; `adviser`/`admin` pass `customer_id` explicitly, gated by `@requires_role` plus RLS's
+role-aware policy underneath (ADR 17).
+
+**Never the raw pre-adjustment basis/gain.** `TaxLot.adjusted_basis` and
+`LotConsumption.realized_gain_loss` are S5's own mutate-in-place fields -- by the time a wash sale
+(S5 §5) has been applied, both already carry the adjusted figure, so this module only ever reads
+those two columns and never `original_cost_basis` for anything but the immutable "as originally
+purchased" reference figure (S5 §7 edge case 1's own warning, restated in S8 §3's route table).

- CSV of lot_consumption rows realized in the as-published period, always
  the lot's own wash-sale-adjusted basis and each consumption's own
  is_provisional flag -- never a raw pre-adjustment figure.
- An unpublished period returns 404 statement_not_published rather than
  falling back to a live-derived export (S8 §6 case 1).

Subject: [PATCH 18/19] =?UTF-8?q?feat(backend):=20add=20admin=20customer?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=20directory/detail/fees=20routes=20(S8=20=C2=A74)?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- GET /api/v1/admin/customers: case-insensitive email search, cursor-paginated
  via app/core/pagination.py (Customer carries no name field yet, so email is
  the only match target).
- GET /api/v1/admin/customers/<id>: aggregated view calling the same
  ValuationService.value_book path GET /valuation/balance uses, and surfacing
  any open reconciliation break prominently (S8 §6 case 2).
- GET /api/v1/admin/customers/<id>/fees: thin re-export of the same
  FeeSummaryService.summarize GET /fees now calls, extracted from fees.py so
  both routes can never independently drift on the same customer's figures
  (S8 §6 case 4's no-drift requirement, applied to fees).
- New AdminUnitOfWork (app/services/admin/uow.py) composes FeesUnitOfWork with
  S7's reconciliation model mixin for this cross-aggregate read.

From: BADRI NARAYANAN <badhrirajen@gmail.com>
Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2026 04:01:35 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 19/19] =?UTF-8?q?feat(backend):=20add=20the=20KYC=20lock?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=20gate=20and=20admin=20override=20(S8=20=C2=A74=20row=205)?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- KycService.start_verification now blocks with KycLockedError once
  kyc_status is rejected AND the latest attempt has exhausted
  KYC_MAX_ATTEMPTS (S2 §9's own deferred gate) -- a single canceled
  attempt well below the cap still allows a normal retry (S8 §6 case 3).
- POST /identity/kyc-sessions surfaces the block as 422 kyc_locked.
- New POST /api/v1/admin/kyc-overrides/<customer_id> (adviser/admin, @audited)
  resets customer.kyc_status to pending without touching the append-only
  kyc_session table, per S2 §9's own text on how reopening works.

+"""`POST /api/v1/admin/kyc-overrides/<customer_id>` (S8 §4 row 5, S2 §9's own deferred reopening
+gate resolved here). Adviser/admin-only, `@audited` (a privileged action against another
+customer's regulatory state).
+
+**Structural note, matching `app/controllers/api/breaks.py`'s own `@audited` pattern exactly.**
+`@audited` needs a `UnitOfWork` among the *decorated function's own* arguments, but this
+controller (like every other one) opens `uow` inside a `with` block in the view body -- so the
+route opens `uow`, then calls a small inner function (`_apply_override`) taking `uow`/
+`customer_id` as explicit keyword arguments, itself `@audited`-decorated.
+
+**The reset never touches `kyc_session` rows** (S2 §3.2: that table is append-only, one row per
+attempt). Resetting `customer.kyc_status` back to `pending` is the whole fix -- S2 §9's own text
+("a new kyc_session row resets attempt_number's effective count"): the very next
+`KycService.start_verification` call is no longer blocked by the `kyc_status == rejected` half of
+its lock check (`app/services/identity/kyc_service.py`), since that check requires *both* halves.
