Phase 5.6 — refinement and validation, no new features.
Audited the ownership rules mechanically across all six Phase 5 services rather
than asserting them in prose. None writes to CareerProfile or its children, none
writes CV variant content, and the two services that read the profile
(ApplicationChecklistService, ApplicationIntelligenceService) never save it. The
rules hold: JobEvent is the history source, the checklist is workflow guidance,
readiness is a projection of it, CareerProfile is the source of truth, CvVariant
is derived output, and AI only appends to AiInteraction.
Verified locally end to end: 379 backend tests in Release, 128 frontend tests
across 36 suites, TypeScript clean, frontend production build, both Docker
images, a fresh empty MariaDB 11 (42 tables, no exceptions), a restart against
the populated database (rows preserved), and the existing SQLite dev database.
The security review found one genuine gap, reported rather than silently
changed: authentication is enforced by a fallback policy gated on Auth:Require,
which defaults to false. docker-compose.yml hardcodes it true so every compose
deployment is protected, and every Phase 5 controller carries an explicit
Authorize attribute, but several pre-Phase-5 controllers do not — a deployment
that lost the flag would expose them. Adding explicit attributes changes local
development behaviour, so it is flagged for a deliberate decision instead of
applied unilaterally.
docs/phase-5-completion-report.md records the milestones, the architecture
decisions and their reasoning, the ownership audit, the verification matrix, and
four remaining risks: CI red for an environmental reason (a docs-only commit
fails identically), production behind and needing a backup before first deploy,
the authentication configuration gap, and prompt quality being unmeasured.
Phase 5 is feature-complete locally. It is not deployed.
