Do not place secret values in source control or chat.

 - **Repository-side rollback status:** Core images are now tagged by commit, the prior running backend/frontend images are retained, and any failure after replacement triggers an automatic core rollback while preserving the failed CI status. Compose configuration validates locally. A real rollback rehearsal remains blocked because the local Linux Docker daemon is unavailable and production mutation is not authorised; run the failure-injection rehearsal on a disposable Linux Docker host before relying on it in production.

 # Job Tracker
 
-Job Tracker is a self-hosted career workspace built with a Next.js/React frontend and an ASP.NET Core API. SQLite is the local default; MariaDB/MySQL is the supported server-database option.
+Job Tracker (Jobjakt) is a self-hosted workspace for managing job applications, companies, correspondence, follow-ups, attachments, career profiles, CVs, and optional local/private AI assistance.
 
-## Features (high level)
+## Stack
 
-- Track job applications (status, applied date, notes, tags, follow-up dates, deadlines, salary, links, etc.)
-- Share opt-in public CV links with recruiter-friendly PDF download
-- Company management (location/source, recruiter details, pipeline stage, next contact date)
-- Correspondence log per application (email/messages with subject/channel/date)
-- Attachments per application (upload, list, download, rename, delete)
-- Reminders + follow-up “needs attention” logic driven by configurable rules
-- History/event trail per application (created, status changes, follow-up set, delete/restore)
-- Export jobs to JSON/CSV + daily scheduled JSON export
-- Optional “job import” preview from supported job sites (plugins) + optional translation to English
-- Quick-capture bookmarklet (Settings) + installable PWA with a mobile share-target: both open `/?add=<page url>` to pre-fill Add Job from any posting
-  - Note: no offline service-worker cache is bundled by design (the app is deployed frequently; an aggressive cache would risk serving stale builds). The manifest provides installability and share-to-capture without it.
-- Optional local AI service for short/full descriptions
-- Optional Google sign-in (Google ID tokens) to protect the API
-- Standard Problem Details responses with trace IDs for unhandled API errors
+- Next.js 16 / React 19 / TypeScript / MUI frontend
+- ASP.NET Core 9 / EF Core 9 API
+- SQLite by default; MariaDB/MySQL for server deployments
+- FastAPI document/AI service with optional Ollama, Gemini, or Groq CV routing
+- Docker Compose + nginx; Gitea Actions deployment
 
-## Architecture
+## Quick start
 
-- `job-tracker-ui/`: statically exported Next.js 16 / React 19 app (runs on `http://localhost:3000` in dev)
-- `JobTrackerApi/`: ASP.NET Core API (defaults to `http://localhost:5202`)
-- Database: SQLite defaults to `JobTrackerApi/jobtracker.db`; MariaDB/MySQL is selected with `Database:Provider`
-- Attachments: stored on disk under `DataRoot/Attachments/<jobId>/...`
-- Optional local AI service: `tools/summarizer/` (FastAPI) used by the API via `Ai:BaseUrl`
+Prerequisites: .NET SDK 9, Node.js 24/npm, and Docker Compose for the full stack.
 
-## Quickstart (Docker)
+For Docker, copy `.env.example` to `.env`, fill required values, then run:
 
-This runs: frontend (nginx), backend API, the local AI service, and an Ollama container for hybrid CV block classification.
-
-1) Create a `.env` file next to `docker-compose.yml` (you can start from `.env.example`).
-
-```bash
+```powershell
 docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
 ```
 
-- UI: `http://localhost:3000`
-- API: available via the UI container reverse proxy at `http://localhost:3000/api/...`
-- Persistent data: stored in the `jobtracker_data` Docker volume (mounted at `/data` in the API container)
+Open `http://localhost:3000`. The API is available at `http://localhost:5202` in local process development.
 
-## Local development
+For local processes:
 
-### Prereqs
-
-- .NET SDK `9.x` (API targets `net9.0`)
-- Node.js 24 and npm (matching CI)
-- (Optional) Python 3.12 if running the AI service without Docker
-
-### 1) Run the API
-
-```bash
+```powershell
 cd JobTrackerApi
 dotnet restore --locked-mode
 dotnet run
-```
 
-By default the API listens on `http://localhost:5202` (see `JobTrackerApi/Properties/launchSettings.json`).
-
-### Local preflight before browser/UAT
-
-Run the backend first from `JobTrackerApi/`, then use the preflight gate from the repo root:
-
-```bash
-bash scripts/s06-preflight.sh
-```
-
-The preflight assumes the dev pairing used by `job-tracker-ui/src/api.ts` and `JobTrackerApi/appsettings.Development.json`:
-
-- UI origin: `http://localhost:3000`
-- API base: `http://localhost:5202/api`
-
-It first checks the anonymous `GET /api/auth/config` endpoint, then probes `GET /api/admin/system` for DB/Gmail/AI readiness.
-If auth is enabled and `/api/admin/system` returns `401/403`, export an admin bearer token first and rerun:
-
-```bash
-export AUTH_TOKEN="<admin bearer token>"
-bash scripts/s06-preflight.sh
-```
-
-To obtain a local admin token in dev, log in against the API with the seeded admin email/password from `JobTrackerApi/appsettings.Development.json` (or your environment override) via `POST /api/auth/login`, then export only the returned access token. The script never prints token values. Use `API_BASE` if your API is not on the default dev port.
-
-### Seed acceptance-ready data
-
-After preflight passes and you have a bearer token, seed one deterministic acceptance fixture for the `/jobs` → workspace → follow-up → dashboard/reminders rerun:
-
-```bash
-export AUTH_TOKEN="<bearer token>"
-bash scripts/s06-acceptance-data.sh
-```
-
-The script reuses `scripts/s06-preflight.sh`, creates or reuses the acceptance company/job, saves tailored package material, ensures one deterministic recruiter-thread correspondence entry, schedules follow-up readiness, and prints the seeded ids/readiness summary without echoing the token.
-
-If the placeholder development password no longer matches the local DB, use the real account for this environment or a bearer token from an already-authenticated local browser session.
-
-### 2) Run the UI
-
-```bash
-cd job-tracker-ui
+cd ..\job-tracker-ui
 npm ci
 npm run dev
 ```
 
-The UI defaults to calling `http://localhost:5202/api` when running on localhost (see `job-tracker-ui/src/api.ts`).
+## Quality checks
 
-### 3) Run the browser smoke suite
-
-```bash
+```powershell
+dotnet test JobTrackerApi.Tests/JobTrackerApi.Tests.csproj --no-restore
 cd job-tracker-ui
-npx playwright install chromium
-npm run test:e2e
+npm run lint
+npm test -- --runInBand
+npm run typecheck
+npm run build
 ```
 
-The suite uses `http://localhost:3300`, starts isolated API/SQLite and Next.js processes, then covers login, saved-job creation,
-Career Workspace, and anonymous public-CV/PDF access. It is also a required CI gate.
+Run browser tests with `npx playwright install chromium` once, followed by `npm run test:e2e` from `job-tracker-ui/`.
 
-### 4) (Optional) Run the AI service
+## Documentation
 
-The API calls a local FastAPI service to generate summaries. If it’s not running, the app still works (summary generation may be empty / best-effort).
-
-With Docker (recommended):
-
-```bash
-# One command for local Ollama startup + pull + AI-service restart
-OLLAMA_MODEL=qwen2.5:7b ./scripts/start-ollama-cv.sh
-
-# Then start the rest of the app if needed
-docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build -d backend frontend
-```
-
-The first Ollama startup is usually quick, but the first model pull and first generation can take a while. After the model is cached in the `ollama_data` volume, later restarts are much faster.
-
-Or run directly from `tools/summarizer/` (see `tools/summarizer/README.md`).
-
-## Configuration
-
-### API settings (appsettings / env vars)
-
-Common keys:
-
-- `ConnectionStrings:JobTracker`: overrides SQLite location (otherwise uses `DataRoot/jobtracker.db`)
-- `Data:Root`: folder for the SQLite DB + exports (defaults to API content root)
-- `Data:AttachmentsRoot`: override attachments folder (defaults to `<Data:Root>/Attachments`)
-- `CvExports:RetainDays`: generated PDF retention in days (default `30`, clamped to `1`–`365`)
-- `Cors:Origins`: list of allowed origins (defaults to `http://localhost:3000`; wildcard origins are rejected because requests use credentials)
-- `Ai:BaseUrl`: AI service base URL (default `http://127.0.0.1:8001`)
-- `Workers:RulesEnabled`, `Workers:FollowUpRemindersEnabled`, `Workers:DailyExportEnabled`, `Workers:JobEnrichmentEnabled`: explicit worker kill switches, all default `false`; do not enable before the prerequisites in `docs/architecture/background-workers.md`
-- `Exports:DailyEnabled`: legacy daily-export setting; both it and `Workers:DailyExportEnabled` must be true
-- `Exports:DailyFolder`: export destination (relative to `Data:Root` if not absolute)
-- `Exports:DailyHourLocal`: local hour (0–23) when the daily export runs
-- `Backups:Enabled`: enable/disable the automated SQLite backup job (default `true`)
-- `Backups:HourLocal`: local hour (0–23) when the daily database backup runs (default `3`)
-- `Backups:RetainCount`: how many backup files to keep in `<Data:Root>/backups` (default `14`)
-  - Backups use SQLite `VACUUM INTO` (consistent snapshot, safe with WAL). A catch-up backup runs at startup when none exists from the last 24 h. For MySQL/MariaDB configure external backups instead (see `deploy/MARIADB.md`).
-- `Auth:GoogleClientId`: if set, enables JWT bearer validation for Google ID tokens
-- `Auth:JwtKey`: secret used to sign local JWTs for username/password login (set via env var `Auth__JwtKey`)
-- `Auth:JwtIssuer`: JWT issuer (default `JobTrackerApi`)
-- `Auth:JwtAudience`: JWT audience (default `job-tracker-ui`)
-- `Auth:JwtExpiresMinutes`: access token lifetime in minutes (default `720`)
-- `Auth:AdminEmail` / `Auth:AdminPassword`: optional seed admin user (created on startup if missing)
-- `Auth:AllowRegistration`: allow self-service registration via `POST /api/auth/register` (default `false`)
-- `Auth:Require`: if `true`, all endpoints require auth (except endpoints explicitly marked anonymous)

-
-### UI settings
-
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL`: override the API base URL (example: `http://localhost:5202/api`)
-
-The complete environment template is `.env.example`. Production requirements and restore/rollback procedures are maintained in `deploy/README.md`; current component boundaries and supported providers are documented in `docs/architecture/current.md`.
-
-## API endpoint reference
-
-Base URL in local dev: `http://localhost:5202` (all routes are under `/api/...`).
-
-Authentication:
-
-- If `Auth:GoogleClientId` is configured, most endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer <google_id_token>`.
-- If it’s not configured, endpoints are effectively anonymous.
-
-### Job applications (`/api/jobapplications`)
-
-- `GET /api/jobapplications`
-  - Query: `page`, `pageSize` (15/20/25), `q`, `status`, `companyId`, `location`, `needsFollowUp`, `includeDeleted`, `deletedOnly`, `sortBy`, `sortDir`
-  - Returns a paged list of `JobApplicationDto` (includes computed follow-up flags and short summary).
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/{id}`
-  - Returns a single `JobApplicationDto` (includes computed follow-up flags and a “full” summary on demand).
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/board?includeDeleted=false`
-  - Returns all job applications (intended for a board/overview view).
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/reminders?upcomingDays=7`
-  - Returns jobs that need follow-up / are in key statuses and have upcoming follow-up dates.
-- `POST /api/jobapplications`
-  - Body: `CreateJobApplicationRequest` (job title, company id, status, notes/description, follow-up fields, tags, attachments flags, etc.)
-  - Creates a job application and a `JobEvent` of type `Created`.
-- `PUT /api/jobapplications/{id}`
-  - Body: `UpdateJobApplicationRequest`
-  - Updates an application; records a `StatusChanged` event if the status changed.
-- `PATCH /api/jobapplications/{id}/status`
-  - Body: `{ "status": "..." }`
-  - Updates only status; records `StatusChanged` if it changed. The status is normalized against the canonical pipeline (casing + known synonyms like `Interviewing`→`Interview`); unrecognized values are preserved as custom statuses.
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/pipeline`
-  - Returns the canonical ordered pipeline stages (`Applied, Waiting, Interview, Offer, Rejected, Ghosted`) with display order and category (`Active`/`Success`/`Closed`). The UI renders board columns and status dropdowns from this single source of truth.
-- `PATCH /api/jobapplications/{id}/followup`
-  - Body: `{ "followUpAt": "2026-03-13T12:00:00Z" }` (or `null`)

-- `GET /api/jobapplications/{id}/history`
-  - Returns `JobEvent` history for the job.
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/{id}/timeline`
-  - Returns a unified timeline combining job events, correspondence, and attachments.
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/stats`

-- `GET /api/jobapplications/{id}/match-score`
-  - Deterministic CV↔job keyword-coverage score (0–100) with matched/missing keywords and per-CV-section coverage. Missing skills also seed a checklist-backed job-specific learning path, so users can mark them learned or dismiss them. No AI calls: results are instant and reproducible. Requires profile CV text/structure and a job description. (The AI narrative equivalent is `GET /api/jobapplications/{id}/candidate-fit`.)
-- `GET /api/jobapplications/{id}/status-suggestion`
-  - Deterministic status suggestion derived from the job's most recent inbound message (interview invite / offer / rejection). Returns a forward-only suggestion (`hasSuggestion`, `suggestedStatus`, `signal`, …) or `hasSuggestion: false`. Applying it is a normal `PATCH .../status` — always user-confirmed.
-- `DELETE /api/jobapplications/{id}`
-  - Soft-deletes an application (`IsDeleted=true`); records a `Deleted` event.
-- `POST /api/jobapplications/{id}/restore`
-  - Restores a soft-deleted application; records a `Restored` event.
-
-### Companies (`/api/companies`)

-  - Form fields: `jobId` (int), `files` (one or more)
-- `PATCH /api/attachments/{id}`: rename attachment
-  - Body: `{ "fileName": "NewName.pdf" }`
-- `DELETE /api/attachments/{id}`: delete attachment record + best-effort delete file on disk
-
-### Rules (`/api/rules`)
-
-- `GET /api/rules`: get rule settings (auto-creates defaults on first request)
-- `PUT /api/rules`: update rule settings (values are clamped to sane bounds)
-
-### Export (`/api/export`)
-
-- `GET /api/export/jobs?format=json|csv&includeDeleted=false`

-
-## Notes for contributors
-
-- The API applies EF Core migrations on startup for the configured SQLite database.
-- The background rules engine may automatically transition jobs to `Ghosted` based on rule settings.
-- In Docker, the UI proxies `/api/*` to the backend service (see `job-tracker-ui/nginx.conf`).

-# Production deployment notes
+# Deployment entry point
 
-## Gitea Actions
-This repo includes `.gitea/workflows/ci-deploy.yml` for:
-- backend build
-- backend tests
-- frontend tests
-- frontend production build
-- deployment to Ubuntu after successful tests on `main`
+The deployment script and Gitea workflow live in this directory and `.gitea/workflows/`. The current deployment, health/readiness, rollback, and secret-handling guidance is in the repository [infrastructure guide](../docs/infrastructure/README.md), especially [deployment](../docs/infrastructure/deployment.md) and [disaster recovery](../docs/infrastructure/disaster-recovery.md).
 
-### Required secrets in Gitea
-- `PROD_HOST`
-- `PROD_USER`
-- `PROD_SSH_KEY`
-
-## Ubuntu server setup
-Recommended app path:
-- `/opt/job-tracker/app`
-
-Persistent runtime secrets path:
-- `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env`
-
-Requirements:
-- Docker Engine
-- Docker Compose plugin
-- reverse proxy in front (Nginx, Caddy, or Traefik)
-- shared env file present on server in `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env`
-- network connectivity from the backend container to your `mariadb` container/service
-
-The deploy script will automatically create a symlink from:
-- `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env`
-
-to:
-- `/opt/job-tracker/app/.env`
-
-This keeps secrets outside the uploaded repo checkout so they are not wiped by CI deploys.
-
-### Frontend API base URL
-The production frontend already proxies `/api` to the backend container via Nginx.
-
-Recommended default:
-- leave `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` unset/empty in production
-
-Only set `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` if the UI must call a different external API origin on purpose.
-
-## Example production `.env`
-```env
-DATABASE_PROVIDER=mariadb
-JOBTRACKER_CONNECTION_STRING=server=mariadb;port=3306;database=jobtracker;user=jobtracker;password=REPLACE_ME
-AUTH_JWT_KEY=replace_with_long_random_secret
-AUTH_ADMIN_EMAIL=you@example.com
-AUTH_ADMIN_PASSWORD=replace_with_strong_password
-AUTH_REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=true
-APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=https://your-domain.example
-WEB_PROXY_SUBNET=172.31.250.0/29
-STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...
-STRIPE_PRICE_PREMIUM=price_...
-STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...
-AI_SERVICE_BASE_URL=http://ai-service:8001
-OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://ollama:11434
-OLLAMA_MODEL=qwen2.5:7b
-EMAIL_FOLLOWUPREMINDERS_ENABLED=true
-EMAIL_FOLLOWUPREMINDERS_UPCOMINGDAYS=2
-# Optional backward-compatible alias if older config still references the previous name:
-SUMMARIZER_BASE_URL=http://ai-service:8001
-```
-
-## Supported databases
-
-The application supports only these provider values:
-
-- `sqlite` — local development and small single-instance deployments; persist and back up the data volume.
-- `mariadb` or `mysql` — server deployments through the Pomelo EF Core provider. The production example uses MariaDB.
-
-PostgreSQL is not implemented. Do not configure or recommend it without first adding an EF Core provider, migrations, startup validation, backup/restore support, and a provider test matrix.
-
-## Deployment flow
-
-Production automation always selects `docker-compose.yml` explicitly. Local development must add
-`docker-compose.dev.yml`; never add that file to a production command. The effective base configuration
-publishes **frontend 3000 → 80** on all host interfaces for the recorded Traefik host-port dependency.
-Backend, ai-service and bundled Ollama have no host-port bindings. CORS and Docker service names are
-not network isolation. The backend also joins the operator-managed `jobtracker_shared` network for
-existing service dependencies; its membership and other host services need operator inspection.
-
-The external Traefik configuration is operator-owned and is not stored here. Before deployment it
-must route only the exact host from `APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` to the recorded frontend host port 3000,
-terminate TLS, and replace `X-Forwarded-For` with one client IP and `X-Forwarded-Proto=https`.
-Do not migrate to container routing or bind port 3000 to loopback without verifying where Traefik runs.
-Host firewall/Docker forwarding rules must restrict ingress appropriately; their existence is unproven.
-
-Nginx requires `INGRESS_PROXY_CIDRS` (space-separated observed Traefik peer CIDRs, preferably /32 or
-/128), rejects other peers before serving application routes, rejects missing scheme/IP and forwarding
-chains, and emits normalized forwarding metadata. It rejects non-canonical Hosts except the default
-server's liveness-only `/health`. The backend trusts only `WEB_PROXY_SUBNET` and one hop. Never trust a
-NAT/gateway address shared by both Traefik and untrusted callers. If peer identity cannot distinguish
-them, stop rollout and establish a verified host binding/firewall or dedicated proxy route first.
-
-Deployment requires Python 3 (standard library) and Docker Compose's JSON config support. The new
-`scripts/validate-ingress.py` preflight checks the **rendered** production configuration before normal
-deployment backup/build/replacement; backup-only runs remain independent of the new ingress setting.
-CI runs `python3 scripts/test-ingress.py` without needing a Docker engine. Empty/missing peer values
-fail safely; do not copy synthetic addresses from tests into production. Runtime/container verification
-is still pending locally due to Docker Desktop failure. See the [B06 report and operator checks](../docs/audits/2026-09-07/validation/b06-completion.md)
-before deploying this change. No production verification is implied by configuration tests.
-1. push to `main`
-2. Gitea Actions runs tests
-3. if green, workflow uploads repo to server
-4. `deploy/deploy.sh` links `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env` into the repo checkout, then explicitly runs `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml build` and `up -d`
-5. if `OLLAMA_MODEL` is set, the deploy script waits for Ollama, pulls the configured model if missing, then restarts `ai-service` so hybrid CV classification can use it
-6. workflow checks service status after deployment
-
-## Post-deploy verification you should also do manually the first time
-- confirm reverse proxy routes to the frontend correctly
-- confirm API auth/login works with production config
-- confirm backend can connect to MariaDB
-- confirm AI service container is reachable from backend
-- confirm reminder and admin/system pages load
-- verify follow-up reminder emails are enabled only when intended and that links open the correct job/tab

-# Backups, restore and rollback
-
-**Database restore and application rollback are two different operations.** A bad deploy usually needs
-only the rollback. Restore the database only if the data itself is wrong or lost — it discards
-everything written since the dump.
-
-## Environment loading
-
-`deploy/deploy.sh` **loads `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env` into its own shell** before it decides
-anything. The symlink it creates in the checkout is for docker compose, which reads `.env` itself;
-the script needs the values too, to pick the right backup and to check its own configuration.
-
-- Parsed line by line, not `source`d — a compose `.env` is not a shell script, so an unquoted value
-  containing spaces would execute as a command.
-- **Variables already set in the environment win**, so CI-provided `APP_VERSION`, `APP_COMMIT_SHA`
-  and `APP_BUILD_STAMP` still override the file.
-- No value is ever echoed. Error messages name variables, never their contents.
-
-This was added on 2026-07-19. Before it, the script read an empty environment: `DATABASE_PROVIDER`
-fell back to `sqlite` on a MariaDB host, so the deploy tarred the data volume, printed
-`Backup verified`, and continued with no database dump at all. See
-`docs/release-candidate-review.md` (B1).
-
-## Required production variables
-
-`validate_deploy_config` runs **before** the backup, and therefore before anything is built, stopped
-or replaced. A missing variable aborts the deploy while the running stack is still untouched.
-
-| Variable | Required | Why it is checked here |
-|---|---|---|
-| `DATABASE_PROVIDER` | **Always** — no default | Selects the backup. Guessing it wrong backs up the wrong database and reports success |
-| `JOBTRACKER_CONNECTION_STRING` | When provider is `mariadb`/`mysql` | Without it there is no way to dump the database |
-| `AI_SERVICE_TOKEN` | Always | `docker-compose.yml` declares it with `:?`; missing it kills the stack *after* the images are built |
-| `AUTH_JWT_KEY` | Always | Compose sets `Auth__Require=true`, and the backend throws at startup on a blank key — after the containers have been replaced |
-| `APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | Always | Canonical HTTPS origin for links, OAuth callbacks, billing redirects, secure cookies, Host validation, and the public smoke check |
-| `AUTH_MICROSOFT_TENANT` | When `AUTH_MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID` is set | Exact Microsoft application sign-in account mode; distinct from the Graph mailbox tenant |
-| `WEB_PROXY_SUBNET` | Always | Dedicated nginx-to-backend CIDR trusted for exactly one forwarded hop; must not overlap another Docker network |
-
-### Microsoft sign-in migration gate
-
-Before enabling `AUTH_MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID` with the canonical identity release, take the normal
-backup and record counts only. Do not print subjects or email addresses:
-
-```sql
-SELECT COUNT(*) AS legacy_links
-FROM AspNetUsers
-WHERE MicrosoftSubject IS NOT NULL OR MicrosoftEmail IS NOT NULL;
-
-SELECT COUNT(*) AS legacy_without_alternate_credential
-FROM AspNetUsers
-WHERE (MicrosoftSubject IS NOT NULL OR MicrosoftEmail IS NOT NULL)
-  AND PasswordHash IS NULL
-  AND GoogleSubject IS NULL;
-
-SELECT COUNT(*) AS duplicate_legacy_subject_groups
-FROM (
-  SELECT MicrosoftSubject
-  FROM AspNetUsers
-  WHERE MicrosoftSubject IS NOT NULL
-  GROUP BY MicrosoftSubject HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
-) duplicate_subjects;
-
-SELECT COUNT(*) AS duplicate_legacy_email_groups
-FROM (
-  SELECT MicrosoftEmail
-  FROM AspNetUsers
-  WHERE MicrosoftEmail IS NOT NULL
-  GROUP BY MicrosoftEmail HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
-) duplicate_emails;
-```
-
-Apply `20260802212509_AddCanonicalMicrosoftIdentity` before deploying code that queries the two new
-columns. The migration does not backfill legacy rows and adds a unique nullable composite index.
-Keep Microsoft sign-in disabled if the inventory or migration fails. Roll back the application
-binary while leaving the additive columns in place; never roll back to email auto-linking.
-
-`DATABASE_PROVIDER` deliberately has **no default**. An unset value used to mean "sqlite"; it now
-means "stop and tell me".
-
-## Backup creation
-
-`deploy/deploy.sh` takes a backup **before** it builds, stops or replaces anything, and **aborts the
-deploy if the backup fails**. Nothing else in the deploy runs without a restore point.
-
-- **Location:** `/opt/job-tracker/backups` — override with `BACKUP_DIR`. If an earlier root-run deploy owns the directory, the deploy script repairs its ownership through Docker before writing.
-- **Selection:** driven solely by `DATABASE_PROVIDER`, which must be set.
-  - `mariadb` / `mysql` → SQL dump, `jobtracker-<database>-<UTC timestamp>.sql.gz`, e.g.
-    `jobtracker-jobtracker-20260719T153759Z.sql.gz`
-  - MariaDB deployments also archive `jobtracker_data`, which contains attachments, imported CVs,
-    generated exports and Data Protection keys.
-  - `sqlite` → data volume archive, `jobtracker-sqlite-<UTC timestamp>.tar.gz`
-  - every deployment archives the separate account-deletion tombstone volume when it exists;
-    restore it independently and never replace it with an older application-data snapshot
-  - anything else → the deploy stops
-- **The filename tells you which path ran.** If you expect a MariaDB deploy and find a
-  `jobtracker-sqlite-*.tar.gz`, the environment is wrong — that is the exact failure this check exists
-  to make visible.
-- **Naming:** the UTC timestamp makes every file unique, so a deploy never overwrites an earlier backup.
-- **Credentials** come from `JOBTRACKER_CONNECTION_STRING` and are passed via `MYSQL_PWD`, never on the
-  command line, so they cannot appear in the process list or the deploy log.
-- **Compression:** gzip. A small database compresses to a few KB.
-- **SQLite volume resolution:** compose prefixes volume names with the project name, so the script
-  resolves `<project>_jobtracker_data` and **fails if that volume does not exist**. Naming the bare
-  volume would silently create an empty one and back *that* up.
-
-### Verification — each provider gets the check that proves its own format
-
-A backup that exists but is empty, truncated, or the wrong *kind* is worse than none, because it looks
-like a restore point.
-
-| Provider | Checks |
-|---|---|
-| MariaDB | non-empty; valid gzip; contains `CREATE TABLE`; contains the `Dump completed` trailer that `mariadb-dump` writes last, so a dump that died partway through is rejected |
-| SQLite | non-empty; valid gzip; the archive actually contains `jobtracker.db` |
-| Recovery volumes | non-empty valid gzip archives; a missing required application-data volume aborts the deploy |
-
-A failed check deletes the file rather than leaving something that looks like a backup.
-
-### Taking one by hand
-
-```bash
-BACKUP_DIR=/opt/job-tracker/backups
-mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
-MYSQL_PWD='<password>' mariadb-dump \
-  --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --user=<user> \
-  --single-transaction --routines --events --quick \
-  jobtracker | gzip -c > "$BACKUP_DIR/jobtracker-manual-$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ).sql.gz"
-```
-
-### Retention
-
-Verified top-level recovery sets are retained for 30 days and the first complete set in each month is
-copied into `monthly/`; the newest 12 monthly sets are retained. Configure
-`BACKUP_DAILY_RETENTION_DAYS` and `BACKUP_MONTHLY_RETENTION_COUNT` to change those positive integer
-limits. Paths outside the fixed backup directory and monthly naming contract are never pruned.
-
-Set `BACKUP_RCLONE_REMOTE` to an encrypted rclone remote to copy each current recovery set off-host.
-See [`docs/operations/google-drive-backups.md`](../docs/operations/google-drive-backups.md).
-
-## Restoring the database
-
-Tested end-to-end against a clean MariaDB 11 container: dump taken from a seeded database, restored
-into an empty one, rows verified identical.
-
-```bash
-# 1. Stop the application so nothing writes during the restore.
-docker compose stop backend
-
-# 2. Restore. This REPLACES the current contents of the named database.
-gzip -dc /opt/job-tracker/backups/jobtracker-jobtracker-20260719T153759Z.sql.gz \
-  | MYSQL_PWD='<password>' mariadb --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --user=<user> jobtracker
-
-# 3. Verify before starting anything.
-MYSQL_PWD='<password>' mariadb --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --user=<user> jobtracker \
-  -e "SELECT COUNT(*) AS applications FROM JobApplications;"
-
-# 4. Start again.
-docker compose start backend
-```
-
-Restoring a **SQLite** deployment instead:
-
-```bash
-docker compose stop backend
-docker run --rm -v jobtracker_data:/data -v /opt/job-tracker/backups:/backup \
-  -e ARCHIVE_NAME=jobtracker-sqlite-20260719T153941Z.tar.gz \
-  alpine:3 sh -c 'rm -rf /data/* && tar xzf "/backup/$ARCHIVE_NAME" -C /data'
-docker compose start backend
-```
-
-## Restoring application containers (rollback)
-
-This is the usual fix for a bad deploy, and it **does not touch the database**.
-
-Normal deployments tag backend and frontend images with `APP_COMMIT_SHA` and retain the images from
-the currently running containers as `jobtracker-backend:previous` and `jobtracker-frontend:previous`.
-If any step fails after core replacement—including public liveness, readiness, or auth-configuration
-checks—`deploy.sh` automatically recreates both core services from those retained images and still
-returns a failed status so CI reports the rejected release. The previous images are replaced only at
-the start of the next deployment.
-
-Use the manual procedure below if automatic restoration itself fails or an older release is required.
-
-```bash
-cd /opt/job-tracker/app          # the deployment checkout
-git log --oneline -5             # find the last good commit
-git checkout <previous-commit>
-deploy/deploy.sh
-```
-
-`deploy.sh` takes a fresh backup first, so rolling back is itself protected.
-
-**Why a code rollback is safe here:** every Phase 4/5 migration is a no-op — the startup reconciler
-owns those tables — so reverting the code never leaves migration history ahead of the schema. The
-reconciler is additive and never drops a table holding rows, so the older code simply ignores the
-newer tables.
-
-**What a code rollback does not undo:** rows users created in the newer tables stay. That is usually
-what you want. If you additionally restore the database, those rows are lost — so restore only when
-the data is the problem.
-
-## Choosing between them
-
-| Symptom | Action |
-|---|---|
-| New version starts but behaves wrong | Rollback the code. Leave the database. |
-| Backend will not start; schema looks wrong | Rollback the code, then restore only if it still fails. |
-| Data is missing or corrupted | Restore the database from the most recent good dump. |
-| Deploy aborted before starting | Nothing to undo — the backup ran before any change. |
-
-## Health checks
-
-`backend` and `frontend` both report container health, so `docker compose ps` shows real state rather
-than merely "running".
-
-- **Backend:** `curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080/health`. Anonymous, and deliberately **does not touch
-  the database** — a health check that queried MariaDB would restart a healthy backend whenever the
-  database blipped. `start_period` is 90s to cover first-boot schema reconciliation.
-- **API/database readiness:** `curl -fsS https://<host>/ready`. This checks that the API can reach its
-  configured database and returns only `ready` or `unavailable`; detailed diagnostics remain admin-only.
-  Deployment validation requires this probe, while Docker restart policy continues to use liveness.
-- **Frontend:** `wget` against nginx on port 80.
-- `frontend` waits for `backend` to be *healthy*, not merely started, because nginx proxies `/api` to
-  it and refuses to start if the upstream cannot be resolved.
-
-A backend that cannot reach its database during startup exits and is reported `unhealthy`. A dependency

+# Job Tracker documentation
+
+This is the entry point for the current system documentation. Job Tracker (also branded Jobjakt in some UI and deployment text) is a self-hosted job-application workspace: it combines job tracking, company context, correspondence, documents, follow-up automation, and privacy-conscious AI assistance.
+
+## System at a glance
+
+- `job-tracker-ui/` is a statically exported Next.js 16 shell containing the React 19, TypeScript, MUI, and React Router application.
+- `JobTrackerApi/` is an ASP.NET Core 9 API using EF Core 9, ASP.NET Identity, JWT/cookie authentication, SQLite by default, and MariaDB/MySQL as the server option.
+- `tools/summarizer/` is a FastAPI service for local summarisation and bounded document extraction/OCR. CV generation can route through local Ollama or an explicitly enabled Gemini/Groq provider.
+- Docker Compose runs the API, nginx frontend, AI service, and optional bundled Ollama. Gitea Actions builds and deploys the stack.

+# Blockers
+
+Updated: 2026-09-01
+
+## Stripe billing
+
+- **Blocked:** Activating roadmap item 7.5 in production.
+- **Why:** Hosted Checkout, customer-portal sessions, signed subscription webhooks, persisted billing state, Pro-role provisioning and a mock lifecycle regression are implemented. The Stripe recurring price, portal, webhook registration and production credentials must be configured outside the repository.
+- **Required:** Configure the Pro recurring price, enable the Stripe customer portal, register `/api/billing/webhook` for `customer.subscription.created`, `customer.subscription.updated`, and `customer.subscription.deleted`, then supply `STRIPE_SECRET_KEY`, the recurring `price_...` value in the legacy-named `STRIPE_PRICE_PREMIUM` setting, and `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` through the deployment environment. Do not place secret values in source control or chat.
+- **Recommended:** One monthly Pro price first; add annual billing only after the monthly flow is operating.
+- **Current access check:** Production has test-mode secret and webhook values, but `STRIPE_PRICE_PREMIUM` currently contains a `prod_...` Product ID. Checkout requires the recurring `price_...` Price ID; the server now treats the wrong identifier type as disabled rather than calling Stripe. The publishable key is not used by hosted Checkout. Local fake-gateway coverage proves active → expired → canceled/replayed role transitions without losing non-AI data (V-185).
+- **Runbook:** Follow `docs/operations/stripe-activation.md`, completing test mode before creating or installing live-mode values.
+
+## Public registration verification
+
+- **Blocked:** Completing a real-browser production signup check.
+- **Why:** The 2026-07-31 anonymous production check confirms `allowRegistration=true`, `turnstileEnabled=true`, and Google sign-in enabled. Completing Turnstile and creating a disposable account requires an interactive production browser session.
+- **Required:** Register one disposable account through Turnstile, verify email/sign-in/rate-limit behavior, then remove the account if it is not needed.
+- **Recommended:** Monitor Turnstile and rate-limit failures during the first public rollout; keep email verification required.
+- **Current status:** Production returns `allowRegistration=true`, `turnstileEnabled=true`, `googleEnabled=true`, and `microsoftEnabled=false`. A registration request without a Turnstile token is rejected with HTTP 400. SMTP is configured and enabled. The operator reports `AUTH_REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION` is now enabled; the disposable interactive signup is still required to prove the deployed behavior end to end.
+
+## Production verification
+
+- **Blocked:** Authenticated production smoke tests, backup restore verification against real data, OAuth-provider checks, and rollback rehearsal.
+- **Why:** The authorised deployment is complete, but authenticated smoke, port/network closure, complete backup restore, provider checks and failure-injection rollback require credentials and/or separately authorised production mutations.
+- **Required:** Confirm the admin-only version badge matches version 286 / commit `ea7d9f3`, then run the authenticated application workspace, Career, CV, attachment, email-verification and rollback checks from `docs/release-candidate-review.md` and `docs/release-checklist.md`.
+- **Recommended:** Verify backup/restore before deployment, then exercise login, existing application counts, Career Workspace, public CV refresh/download, AI, and attachments in order.
+- **Current status:** Gitea run 705 (application version 286, commit `ea7d9f3`) completed both the complete test job and remote deployment successfully on 2026-09-01. Public `/health`, `/ready`, and `/api/auth/config` returned HTTP 200 after replacement; liveness reported version 286 and readiness reported `ready`. This proves the proxy/frontend, API and database readiness path, but not authenticated application behavior, provider delivery or restore/rollback behavior. Read-only PROD-001 inventory previously found the JobTracker Ollama and frontend published on all host interfaces, the newest observed gzip-valid MariaDB backup dated 2026-08-02, no observed scheduled JobTracker backup, and no owner-file/key/tombstone recovery bundle. Those remaining gates still require operator-controlled verification; see `docs/production/production-ai-hardware-assessment.md`.
+- **Repository-side rollback status:** Core images are now tagged by commit, the prior running backend/frontend images are retained, and any failure after replacement triggers an automatic core rollback while preserving the failed CI status. Compose configuration validates locally. A real rollback rehearsal remains blocked because the local Linux Docker daemon is unavailable and production mutation is not authorised; run the failure-injection rehearsal on a disposable Linux Docker host before relying on it in production.
+
+## Account deletion retention and restore policy
+
+- **Blocked:** Enabling SEC-009 self-service deletion in production and declaring backup erasure complete.
+- **Why:** The readable export and idempotent live-data deletion coordinator are implemented behind an explicit disabled gate. Repository code cannot truthfully choose legal retention periods, backup expiry, provider obligations or the tombstone lifetime needed to prevent restoration from resurrecting an erased account. Production inventory confirms current backups are database-only and no protected tombstone volume is deployed yet; the release branch now defines the separate volume and retryable authenticated sidecar-cache purge.
+- **Required:** Decide retention periods for operational backups, audit/security records and deletion tombstones; identify any legal hold/export obligations; approve the restore behavior for deleted identities.
+- **Recommended:** Keep production self-service and admin deletion disabled. Decide retention, deploy/protect the configured tombstone volume, build a complete DB/files/keys backup set, then use a disposable account to prove remote-provider cleanup, sidecar purge across restart and restored-backup tombstone replay before staged activation.
+
+## Legacy job/application column cutover
+
+- **Blocked:** Removing the opportunity columns duplicated between `JobApplication` and `Job`.
+- **Why:** The compatibility dual-write protects existing production rows and older clients. The release branch now backfills missing opportunities on startup, synchronizes both creation paths, and leaves all legacy columns intact. Dropping columns still requires production validation and an observation release.
+- **Required:** After deployment, run the read-only report in `docs/operations/job-opportunity-cutover.md` against production and a restored backup, then confirm that backward API compatibility is no longer required.
+- **Recommended:** Use an expand/contract release: first stop legacy reads after a verified backfill, observe one release, then drop the duplicate columns in the following migration.

+# Production deployment notes
+
+## Gitea Actions
+This repo includes `.gitea/workflows/ci-deploy.yml` for:
+- backend build
+- backend tests
+- frontend tests
+- frontend production build
+- deployment to Ubuntu after successful tests on `main`
+
+### Required secrets in Gitea
+- `PROD_HOST`
+- `PROD_USER`
+- `PROD_SSH_KEY`
+
+## Ubuntu server setup
+Recommended app path:
+- `/opt/job-tracker/app`
+
+Persistent runtime secrets path:
+- `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env`
+
+Requirements:
+- Docker Engine
+- Docker Compose plugin
+- reverse proxy in front (Nginx, Caddy, or Traefik)
+- shared env file present on server in `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env`
+- network connectivity from the backend container to your `mariadb` container/service
+
+The deploy script will automatically create a symlink from:
+- `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env`
+
+to:
+- `/opt/job-tracker/app/.env`
+
+This keeps secrets outside the uploaded repo checkout so they are not wiped by CI deploys.
+
+### Frontend API base URL
+The production frontend already proxies `/api` to the backend container via Nginx.
+
+Recommended default:
+- leave `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` unset/empty in production
+
+Only set `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` if the UI must call a different external API origin on purpose.
+
+## Example production `.env`
+```env
+DATABASE_PROVIDER=mariadb
+JOBTRACKER_CONNECTION_STRING=server=mariadb;port=3306;database=jobtracker;user=jobtracker;password=REPLACE_ME
+AUTH_JWT_KEY=replace_with_long_random_secret

+WEB_PROXY_SUBNET=172.31.250.0/29
+STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...
+STRIPE_PRICE_PREMIUM=price_...
+STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...
+AI_SERVICE_BASE_URL=http://ai-service:8001
+OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://ollama:11434
+OLLAMA_MODEL=qwen2.5:7b
+EMAIL_FOLLOWUPREMINDERS_ENABLED=true
+EMAIL_FOLLOWUPREMINDERS_UPCOMINGDAYS=2
+# Optional backward-compatible alias if older config still references the previous name:
+SUMMARIZER_BASE_URL=http://ai-service:8001
+```
+
+## Supported databases
+
+The application supports only these provider values:
+
+- `sqlite` — local development and small single-instance deployments; persist and back up the data volume.
+- `mariadb` or `mysql` — server deployments through the Pomelo EF Core provider. The production example uses MariaDB.
+
+PostgreSQL is not implemented. Do not configure or recommend it without first adding an EF Core provider, migrations, startup validation, backup/restore support, and a provider test matrix.
+
+## Deployment flow
+
+Production automation always selects `docker-compose.yml` explicitly. Local development must add
+`docker-compose.dev.yml`; never add that file to a production command. The effective base configuration
+publishes **frontend 3000 → 80** on all host interfaces for the recorded Traefik host-port dependency.
+Backend, ai-service and bundled Ollama have no host-port bindings. CORS and Docker service names are
+not network isolation. The backend also joins the operator-managed `jobtracker_shared` network for
+existing service dependencies; its membership and other host services need operator inspection.
+
+The external Traefik configuration is operator-owned and is not stored here. Before deployment it
+must route only the exact host from `APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` to the recorded frontend host port 3000,
+terminate TLS, and replace `X-Forwarded-For` with one client IP and `X-Forwarded-Proto=https`.
+Do not migrate to container routing or bind port 3000 to loopback without verifying where Traefik runs.
+Host firewall/Docker forwarding rules must restrict ingress appropriately; their existence is unproven.
+
+Nginx requires `INGRESS_PROXY_CIDRS` (space-separated observed Traefik peer CIDRs, preferably /32 or
+/128), rejects other peers before serving application routes, rejects missing scheme/IP and forwarding
+chains, and emits normalized forwarding metadata. It rejects non-canonical Hosts except the default
+server's liveness-only `/health`. The backend trusts only `WEB_PROXY_SUBNET` and one hop. Never trust a
+NAT/gateway address shared by both Traefik and untrusted callers. If peer identity cannot distinguish
+them, stop rollout and establish a verified host binding/firewall or dedicated proxy route first.
+
+Deployment requires Python 3 (standard library) and Docker Compose's JSON config support. The new
+`scripts/validate-ingress.py` preflight checks the **rendered** production configuration before normal
+deployment backup/build/replacement; backup-only runs remain independent of the new ingress setting.
+CI runs `python3 scripts/test-ingress.py` without needing a Docker engine. Empty/missing peer values
+fail safely; do not copy synthetic addresses from tests into production. Runtime/container verification
+is still pending locally due to Docker Desktop failure. See the [B06 report and operator checks](../docs/audits/2026-09-07/validation/b06-completion.md)
+before deploying this change. No production verification is implied by configuration tests.
+1. push to `main`
+2. Gitea Actions runs tests
+3. if green, workflow uploads repo to server
+4. `deploy/deploy.sh` links `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env` into the repo checkout, then explicitly runs `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml build` and `up -d`
+5. if `OLLAMA_MODEL` is set, the deploy script waits for Ollama, pulls the configured model if missing, then restarts `ai-service` so hybrid CV classification can use it
+6. workflow checks service status after deployment
+
+## Post-deploy verification you should also do manually the first time
+- confirm reverse proxy routes to the frontend correctly
+- confirm API auth/login works with production config
+- confirm backend can connect to MariaDB
+- confirm AI service container is reachable from backend
+- confirm reminder and admin/system pages load
+- verify follow-up reminder emails are enabled only when intended and that links open the correct job/tab
+
+---
+
+# Backups, restore and rollback
+
+**Database restore and application rollback are two different operations.** A bad deploy usually needs
+only the rollback. Restore the database only if the data itself is wrong or lost — it discards
+everything written since the dump.
+
+## Environment loading
+
+`deploy/deploy.sh` **loads `/opt/job-tracker/shared/.env` into its own shell** before it decides
+anything. The symlink it creates in the checkout is for docker compose, which reads `.env` itself;
+the script needs the values too, to pick the right backup and to check its own configuration.
+
+- Parsed line by line, not `source`d — a compose `.env` is not a shell script, so an unquoted value
+  containing spaces would execute as a command.
+- **Variables already set in the environment win**, so CI-provided `APP_VERSION`, `APP_COMMIT_SHA`
+  and `APP_BUILD_STAMP` still override the file.
+- No value is ever echoed. Error messages name variables, never their contents.
+
+This was added on 2026-07-19. Before it, the script read an empty environment: `DATABASE_PROVIDER`
+fell back to `sqlite` on a MariaDB host, so the deploy tarred the data volume, printed
+`Backup verified`, and continued with no database dump at all. See
+`docs/release-candidate-review.md` (B1).
+
+## Required production variables
+
+`validate_deploy_config` runs **before** the backup, and therefore before anything is built, stopped
+or replaced. A missing variable aborts the deploy while the running stack is still untouched.
+
+| Variable | Required | Why it is checked here |
+|---|---|---|
+| `DATABASE_PROVIDER` | **Always** — no default | Selects the backup. Guessing it wrong backs up the wrong database and reports success |
+| `JOBTRACKER_CONNECTION_STRING` | When provider is `mariadb`/`mysql` | Without it there is no way to dump the database |
+| `AI_SERVICE_TOKEN` | Always | `docker-compose.yml` declares it with `:?`; missing it kills the stack *after* the images are built |
+| `AUTH_JWT_KEY` | Always | Compose sets `Auth__Require=true`, and the backend throws at startup on a blank key — after the containers have been replaced |
+| `APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` | Always | Canonical HTTPS origin for links, OAuth callbacks, billing redirects, secure cookies, Host validation, and the public smoke check |
+| `AUTH_MICROSOFT_TENANT` | When `AUTH_MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID` is set | Exact Microsoft application sign-in account mode; distinct from the Graph mailbox tenant |
+| `WEB_PROXY_SUBNET` | Always | Dedicated nginx-to-backend CIDR trusted for exactly one forwarded hop; must not overlap another Docker network |
+
+### Microsoft sign-in migration gate
+
+Before enabling `AUTH_MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID` with the canonical identity release, take the normal
+backup and record counts only. Do not print subjects or email addresses:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(*) AS legacy_links
+FROM AspNetUsers
+WHERE MicrosoftSubject IS NOT NULL OR MicrosoftEmail IS NOT NULL;
+
+SELECT COUNT(*) AS legacy_without_alternate_credential
+FROM AspNetUsers
+WHERE (MicrosoftSubject IS NOT NULL OR MicrosoftEmail IS NOT NULL)
+  AND PasswordHash IS NULL
+  AND GoogleSubject IS NULL;
+
+SELECT COUNT(*) AS duplicate_legacy_subject_groups
+FROM (
+  SELECT MicrosoftSubject
+  FROM AspNetUsers
+  WHERE MicrosoftSubject IS NOT NULL
+  GROUP BY MicrosoftSubject HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
+) duplicate_subjects;
+
+SELECT COUNT(*) AS duplicate_legacy_email_groups
+FROM (
+  SELECT MicrosoftEmail
+  FROM AspNetUsers
+  WHERE MicrosoftEmail IS NOT NULL
+  GROUP BY MicrosoftEmail HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
+) duplicate_emails;
+```
+
+Apply `20260802212509_AddCanonicalMicrosoftIdentity` before deploying code that queries the two new
+columns. The migration does not backfill legacy rows and adds a unique nullable composite index.
+Keep Microsoft sign-in disabled if the inventory or migration fails. Roll back the application
+binary while leaving the additive columns in place; never roll back to email auto-linking.
+
+`DATABASE_PROVIDER` deliberately has **no default**. An unset value used to mean "sqlite"; it now
+means "stop and tell me".
+
+## Backup creation
+
+`deploy/deploy.sh` takes a backup **before** it builds, stops or replaces anything, and **aborts the
+deploy if the backup fails**. Nothing else in the deploy runs without a restore point.
+
+- **Location:** `/opt/job-tracker/backups` — override with `BACKUP_DIR`. If an earlier root-run deploy owns the directory, the deploy script repairs its ownership through Docker before writing.
+- **Selection:** driven solely by `DATABASE_PROVIDER`, which must be set.
+  - `mariadb` / `mysql` → SQL dump, `jobtracker-<database>-<UTC timestamp>.sql.gz`, e.g.
+    `jobtracker-jobtracker-20260719T153759Z.sql.gz`
+  - MariaDB deployments also archive `jobtracker_data`, which contains attachments, imported CVs,
+    generated exports and Data Protection keys.
+  - `sqlite` → data volume archive, `jobtracker-sqlite-<UTC timestamp>.tar.gz`
+  - every deployment archives the separate account-deletion tombstone volume when it exists;
+    restore it independently and never replace it with an older application-data snapshot
+  - anything else → the deploy stops
+- **The filename tells you which path ran.** If you expect a MariaDB deploy and find a
+  `jobtracker-sqlite-*.tar.gz`, the environment is wrong — that is the exact failure this check exists
+  to make visible.
+- **Naming:** the UTC timestamp makes every file unique, so a deploy never overwrites an earlier backup.
+- **Credentials** come from `JOBTRACKER_CONNECTION_STRING` and are passed via `MYSQL_PWD`, never on the
+  command line, so they cannot appear in the process list or the deploy log.
+- **Compression:** gzip. A small database compresses to a few KB.
+- **SQLite volume resolution:** compose prefixes volume names with the project name, so the script
+  resolves `<project>_jobtracker_data` and **fails if that volume does not exist**. Naming the bare
+  volume would silently create an empty one and back *that* up.
+
+### Verification — each provider gets the check that proves its own format
+
+A backup that exists but is empty, truncated, or the wrong *kind* is worse than none, because it looks
+like a restore point.
+
+| Provider | Checks |
+|---|---|
+| MariaDB | non-empty; valid gzip; contains `CREATE TABLE`; contains the `Dump completed` trailer that `mariadb-dump` writes last, so a dump that died partway through is rejected |
+| SQLite | non-empty; valid gzip; the archive actually contains `jobtracker.db` |
+| Recovery volumes | non-empty valid gzip archives; a missing required application-data volume aborts the deploy |
+
+A failed check deletes the file rather than leaving something that looks like a backup.
+
+### Taking one by hand
+
+```bash
+BACKUP_DIR=/opt/job-tracker/backups
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
+MYSQL_PWD='<password>' mariadb-dump \
+  --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --user=<user> \
+  --single-transaction --routines --events --quick \
+  jobtracker | gzip -c > "$BACKUP_DIR/jobtracker-manual-$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ).sql.gz"
+```
+
+### Retention
+
+Verified top-level recovery sets are retained for 30 days and the first complete set in each month is
+copied into `monthly/`; the newest 12 monthly sets are retained. Configure
+`BACKUP_DAILY_RETENTION_DAYS` and `BACKUP_MONTHLY_RETENTION_COUNT` to change those positive integer
+limits. Paths outside the fixed backup directory and monthly naming contract are never pruned.
+
+Set `BACKUP_RCLONE_REMOTE` to an encrypted rclone remote to copy each current recovery set off-host.
+See [`docs/operations/google-drive-backups.md`](../docs/operations/google-drive-backups.md).
+
+## Restoring the database
+
+Tested end-to-end against a clean MariaDB 11 container: dump taken from a seeded database, restored
+into an empty one, rows verified identical.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop the application so nothing writes during the restore.
+docker compose stop backend
+
+# 2. Restore. This REPLACES the current contents of the named database.
+gzip -dc /opt/job-tracker/backups/jobtracker-jobtracker-20260719T153759Z.sql.gz \
+  | MYSQL_PWD='<password>' mariadb --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --user=<user> jobtracker
+
+# 3. Verify before starting anything.
+MYSQL_PWD='<password>' mariadb --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --user=<user> jobtracker \
+  -e "SELECT COUNT(*) AS applications FROM JobApplications;"
+
+# 4. Start again.
+docker compose start backend
+```
+
+Restoring a **SQLite** deployment instead:
+
+```bash
+docker compose stop backend
+docker run --rm -v jobtracker_data:/data -v /opt/job-tracker/backups:/backup \
+  -e ARCHIVE_NAME=jobtracker-sqlite-20260719T153941Z.tar.gz \
+  alpine:3 sh -c 'rm -rf /data/* && tar xzf "/backup/$ARCHIVE_NAME" -C /data'
+docker compose start backend
+```
+
+## Restoring application containers (rollback)
+
+This is the usual fix for a bad deploy, and it **does not touch the database**.
+
+Normal deployments tag backend and frontend images with `APP_COMMIT_SHA` and retain the images from
+the currently running containers as `jobtracker-backend:previous` and `jobtracker-frontend:previous`.
+If any step fails after core replacement—including public liveness, readiness, or auth-configuration
+checks—`deploy.sh` automatically recreates both core services from those retained images and still
+returns a failed status so CI reports the rejected release. The previous images are replaced only at
+the start of the next deployment.
+
+Use the manual procedure below if automatic restoration itself fails or an older release is required.
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/job-tracker/app          # the deployment checkout
+git log --oneline -5             # find the last good commit
+git checkout <previous-commit>
+deploy/deploy.sh
+```
+
+`deploy.sh` takes a fresh backup first, so rolling back is itself protected.
+
+**Why a code rollback is safe here:** every Phase 4/5 migration is a no-op — the startup reconciler
+owns those tables — so reverting the code never leaves migration history ahead of the schema. The
+reconciler is additive and never drops a table holding rows, so the older code simply ignores the
+newer tables.
+
+**What a code rollback does not undo:** rows users created in the newer tables stay. That is usually
+what you want. If you additionally restore the database, those rows are lost — so restore only when
+the data is the problem.
+
+## Choosing between them
+
+| Symptom | Action |
+|---|---|
+| New version starts but behaves wrong | Rollback the code. Leave the database. |
+| Backend will not start; schema looks wrong | Rollback the code, then restore only if it still fails. |
+| Data is missing or corrupted | Restore the database from the most recent good dump. |
+| Deploy aborted before starting | Nothing to undo — the backup ran before any change. |
+
+## Health checks
+
+`backend` and `frontend` both report container health, so `docker compose ps` shows real state rather
+than merely "running".
+
+- **Backend:** `curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080/health`. Anonymous, and deliberately **does not touch
+  the database** — a health check that queried MariaDB would restart a healthy backend whenever the
+  database blipped. `start_period` is 90s to cover first-boot schema reconciliation.
+- **API/database readiness:** `curl -fsS https://<host>/ready`. This checks that the API can reach its
+  configured database and returns only `ready` or `unavailable`; detailed diagnostics remain admin-only.
+  Deployment validation requires this probe, while Docker restart policy continues to use liveness.
+- **Frontend:** `wget` against nginx on port 80.
+- `frontend` waits for `backend` to be *healthy*, not merely started, because nginx proxies `/api` to
+  it and refuses to start if the upstream cannot be resolved.
+
+A backend that cannot reach its database during startup exits and is reported `unhealthy`. A dependency
+failure after startup leaves the process alive but makes `/ready` return 503, so deployment validation
+cannot mistake a live-but-unready stack for a successful release.
