✨ feat(deploy): chart Vault CRDs gated by vault.enabled (default false)

Adds VaultAuth + VaultStaticSecret + VaultDynamicSecret templates gated behind .Values.vault.enabled (default false). Default helm install keeps working in degraded mode. Chart becomes Vault-ready without activating Vault dependencies. iac/ terraform + Vault workflow follow as PR-IAC1 (requires user manual prereqs in Vault).

+# CI/CD Workflow Architecture
+
+## 🗺️ Overview
+
+The dance-lessons-coach project uses a **multi-workflow architecture** for better separation of concerns, maintainability, and flexibility.
+
+## 📁 Workflow Files
+
+### 1. `ci-cd.yaml` - Main CI/CD Pipeline
+
+**Purpose**: Run tests, build binaries, and generate documentation
+
+**Triggers**:
+- Push to `main`, `ci/**`, `feature/**`, `fix/**`, `refactor/**` branches
+- Pull requests to `main` branch
+- Manual workflow dispatch
+
+**Jobs**:
+1. **build-cache** - Build and cache Docker build environment
+2. **ci-pipeline** - Run tests, build binaries, generate Swagger docs
+3. **trigger-docker-push** - Trigger separate Docker workflow on main branch
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Runs in container environment with all build tools
+- Generates Swagger documentation
+- Runs BDD and unit tests with PostgreSQL
+- Updates badges and version information
+- Triggers Docker workflow only on main branch
+
+### 2. `docker-push.yaml` - Docker Image Publishing
+
+**Purpose**: Build and push Docker images to registry
+
+**Triggers**:
+- Manual workflow dispatch only (no automatic triggers)
+- Triggered by `ci-cd.yaml` on main branch
+
+**Jobs**:
+1. **docker-push** - Build production Docker image and push to registry
+
+**Key Features**:
+- Runs on host environment (access to Docker daemon)
+- Uses dependency hash from build-cache
+- Builds minimal Alpine-based production image
+- Pushes multiple tags (version, latest, commit SHA)
+
+## 🔧 Architecture Benefits
+
+### 1. Clear Separation of Concerns
+- **CI/CD Pipeline**: Testing and artifact generation
+- **Docker Publishing**: Image building and registry operations
+
+### 2. Proper Environment Isolation
+- **CI jobs run in container**: Consistent build environment
+- **Docker jobs run on host**: Access to Docker daemon
+
+### 3. Flexible Testing
+- Can trigger Docker workflow independently for testing
+- No complex conditional logic in main workflow
+- Easier to debug and maintain
+
+### 4. Better Security
+- Docker operations isolated in separate workflow
+- Clear dependency between test success and deployment
+- Manual trigger capability for emergency situations
+
+## 🚀 Usage Examples
+
+### Trigger Full CI/CD Pipeline
+```bash
+# Automatically triggered on push to main branch
+# Or manually:
+./scripts/gitea-client.sh trigger-workflow arcodange dance-lessons-coach ci-cd.yaml main
+```
+
+### Trigger Docker Push Manually
+```bash
+# Get dependency hash from build-cache job first
+DEPS_HASH="abc123def456"
+
+# Trigger Docker workflow manually
+./scripts/gitea-client.sh trigger-workflow arcodange dance-lessons-coach docker-push.yaml main --deps_hash $DEPS_HASH
+```
+
+### Workflow Dispatch Parameters (docker-push.yaml)
+- `deps_hash` (required): Dependency hash from build-cache job
+- `ref` (optional): Git reference (branch/tag), defaults to current
+
+## 🔗 Workflow Dependencies
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    A[Push to main] --> B[ci-cd.yaml]
+    B --> C[build-cache job]
+    B --> D[ci-pipeline job]
+    D --> E[trigger-docker-push job]
+    E --> F[docker-push.yaml]
+    F --> G[docker-push job]
+    G --> H[Docker Registry]
+```
+
+## 📋 Best Practices
+
+### 1. Always Run CI First
+- Docker workflow should only be triggered after CI passes
+- Maintains quality gate before deployment
+
+### 2. Use Dependency Hash
+- Ensures consistent builds across workflows
+- Pass hash from build-cache to docker-push
+
+### 3. Manual Testing
+- Use separate Docker workflow for testing image builds
+- Avoids polluting main branch with test images
+
+### 4. Monitor Both Workflows
+- CI/CD workflow for test results and artifacts
+- Docker workflow for image build and push status
+
+## 🎯 Docker Build Strategy Decision
+
+### 🏆 Chosen Approach: Attempt 2 (Standard Dockerfile)
+
+After extensive testing of multiple approaches, we selected **Attempt 2** as the optimal Docker build strategy.
+
+#### ⚡ Why Attempt 2 Won:
+
+**1. Simplicity (60% smaller workflow)**
+- 73 lines vs 158 lines in complex approaches
+- No inline Dockerfile generation
+- Standard `docker build -f docker/Dockerfile .` command
+
+**2. Better Performance**
+- No artifact/cache action overhead
+- Natural Docker layer caching works optimally
+- Faster execution without complex variable substitutions
+
+**3. Superior Reliability**
+- Proven standard Docker build process
+- Easier to debug and maintain
+- Fewer moving parts = fewer failures
+
+**4. Better Maintainability**
+- Uses standard Dockerfile (easier to understand)
+- No complex YAML templating
+- Clear separation of concerns
+
+#### 🗑️ Why We Rejected Other Approaches:
+
+**Attempt 1 (Inline Dockerfile):**
+- Complex YAML templating
+- Harder to debug and maintain
+- No significant performance benefit
+
+**Attempt 3 (Build Cache Image):**
+- Added complexity with cache management
+- Slower due to artifact actions overhead
+- More prone to cache invalidation issues
+
+**Attempt 4 (Template File):**
+- Added unnecessary file management
+- No clear advantage over standard Dockerfile
+- More complex workflow
+
+### 📊 Performance Comparison:
+
+| Approach | Lines of Code | Complexity | Reliability | Maintainability |
+|----------|---------------|------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| **Attempt 2** | 73 | Low | High | Excellent |
+| Attempt 1 | 158 | High | Medium | Poor |
+| Attempt 3 | 125 | Medium | Medium | Fair |
+| Attempt 4 | 110 | Medium | High | Good |
+
+### 🔧 Implementation Details:
+
+**Standard Dockerfile Approach:**
+```yaml
+- name: Build and push Docker image
+  run: |
+    docker build -t dance-lessons-coach -f docker/Dockerfile .
+    docker tag dance-lessons-coach "$IMAGE_NAME"
+    docker push "$IMAGE_NAME"
+```
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- Uses multi-stage builds for optimization
+- Standard Docker layer caching works naturally
+- Easy to understand and modify
+- Proven reliability in production
+
+## 🎯 Future Enhancements
+
+### Potential Improvements:
+- Add workflow status badges to README
+- Implement workflow chaining with outputs
+- Add matrix builds for multiple architectures
+- Implement canary deployment workflow
+- Add rollback capability
+
+### Architecture Considerations:
+- Keep workflows focused on single responsibilities
+- Maintain clear separation between test and deploy
+- Document all workflow triggers and conditions
+- Monitor workflow execution times and optimize
+
+## 📝 Maintenance
+
+### Adding New Jobs:
+- Add to appropriate workflow based on responsibility
+- CI-related jobs → `ci-cd.yaml`
+- Docker-related jobs → `docker-push.yaml`
+
+### Modifying Triggers:
+- Update trigger conditions in respective workflow files
+- Test changes thoroughly before merging
+
+### Debugging:
+- Check workflow logs in Gitea Actions
+- Use `gitea-client.sh diagnose-job` for detailed analysis
+- Monitor workflow dependencies and execution order
+
+## 🔒 Security
+
+### Secrets Management:
+- Docker registry credentials stored in Gitea secrets
+- Never hardcode credentials in workflow files
+- Use GitHub token for workflow dispatch
+
+### Access Control:
+- Only authorized users can trigger workflows
+- Manual approval required for production deployments
+- Audit logs available for all workflow executions
+
+This architecture provides a clean, maintainable, and secure CI/CD pipeline that scales well with project growth while maintaining clear separation of concerns.

-## CI/CD Pipeline
-
-dance-lessons-coach features an optimized CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions with container/services architecture:
-
-### Key Features
-- ✅ **Container-based execution**: All steps run in pre-built Docker cache images
-- ✅ **Service-based PostgreSQL**: Automatic database service provisioning
-- ✅ **Smart caching**: Dependency-aware cache invalidation
-- ✅ **Multi-platform**: Compatible with Gitea, GitHub, and GitLab
-- ✅ **Fast execution**: No Docker Compose overhead
-- ✅ **Reliable testing**: Full database connectivity with proper environment setup
-
-### Architecture
-
-The pipeline uses GitHub Actions' native `container` and `services` directives instead of Docker Compose:
-
-```yaml
-jobs:
-  ci-pipeline:
-    container:
-      image: gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach-build-cache:${{ needs.build-cache.outputs.deps_hash }}
-    
-    services:
-      postgres:
-        image: postgres:15
-        env:
-          POSTGRES_USER: postgres
-          POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
-          POSTGRES_DB: dance_lessons_coach_bdd_test
-```
-
-### Benefits
-
-1. **Performance**: Direct container execution without compose overhead
-2. **Reliability**: Service containers managed by GitHub Actions
-3. **Simplicity**: Cleaner workflow definition
-4. **Portability**: Works across CI platforms
-5. **Caching**: Intelligent dependency-based cache rebuilding
-
-### Workflow Steps
-
-1. **Build Cache**: Creates Docker image with Go tools and dependencies
-2. **CI Pipeline**: Runs tests, builds binaries, and generates documentation
-3. **Database Tests**: Connects to PostgreSQL service container
-4. **Coverage Reporting**: Updates coverage badges automatically
-5. **Artifact Publishing**: Builds and pushes Docker images (main branch only)
-
-### Environment Configuration
-
-The pipeline automatically sets up database environment variables:
-
 ```bash
-echo "DLC_DATABASE_HOST=postgres" >> $GITHUB_ENV
-echo "DLC_DATABASE_PORT=5432" >> $GITHUB_ENV
-echo "DLC_DATABASE_USER=postgres" >> $GITHUB_ENV
-echo "DLC_DATABASE_PASSWORD=postgres" >> $GITHUB_ENV
-echo "DLC_DATABASE_NAME=dance_lessons_coach_bdd_test" >> $GITHUB_ENV
-echo "DLC_DATABASE_SSL_MODE=disable" >> $GITHUB_ENV
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/health
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/Alice
 ```
 
-### Status
+Stop: `./scripts/start-server.sh stop`
 
-[![Build Status](https://gitea.arcodange.fr/api/badges/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach/status)](https://gitea.arcodange.fr/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach)
+## Greet CLI
 
-=======
-- ✅ **Linting**: Code quality checks with `go fmt` and `go vet`
-- ✅ **Version Management**: Automatic version detection
-- ✅ **Portable**: Uses standard GitHub Actions workflow format
-
-### Workflow File
-```yaml
-# .github/workflows/main.yml
-jobs:
-  build-test:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
-      - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
-        with:
-          go-version: '1.26.1'
-      - run: go build ./...
-      - run: go test ./... -cover
-
-  lint-format:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - run: go fmt ./...
-      - run: go vet ./...
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/greet           # Hello world!
+go run ./cmd/greet Alice     # Hello Alice!
 ```
 
-### Setup Instructions
-1. **Gitea**: Enable GitHub Actions compatibility in repo settings
-2. **GitHub**: Push to mirror repository (workflow runs automatically)
-3. **GitLab**: Convert workflow to `.gitlab-ci.yml` or use compatibility mode
-
-**See [ADR 0016](adr/0016-ci-cd-pipeline-design.md) for complete CI/CD design and [STATUS_BADGES.md](STATUS_BADGES.md) for badge setup.**

-### New Cobra CLI (Recommended)
-
-```bash
-# Show help
-./bin/dance-lessons-coach --help
-
-# Show version
-./bin/dance-lessons-coach version
-
-# Greet someone
-./bin/dance-lessons-coach greet John
-
-# Start server
-./bin/dance-lessons-coach server
-```
-
-### Legacy CLI (Deprecated)
-
-```bash
-# Default greeting
-go run ./cmd/greet
-# Output: Hello world!
-
-# Custom greeting
-go run ./cmd/greet John
-# Output: Hello John!
-```
-
-### Web Server
-
-**Using the server control script (recommended):**
-
-```bash
-# Start the server
-./scripts/start-server.sh start
-
-# Test API endpoints
-./scripts/start-server.sh test
-
-# Access OpenAPI documentation
-# Swagger UI: http://localhost:8080/swagger/
-# OpenAPI spec: http://localhost:8080/swagger/doc.json
-
-# Stop the server
-./scripts/start-server.sh stop
-```
-
-**Manual server management:**
-
-```bash
-# Start the server
-go run ./cmd/server
-
-# Test API endpoints
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/health
-# Output: {"status":"healthy"}
-
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/ready
-# Output: {"ready":true}
-
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet
-# Output: {"message":"Hello world!"}
-
-curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/John
-# Output: {"message":"Hello John!"}
-```
+This decision is intentional : the markdown table drifts ; swagger.json doesn't (it's regenerated from `swag` annotations on every build). Curated short list here for discovery, swagger for completeness.
 
 ## Testing
 
 ```bash
-# Run all tests
-go test ./...
-
-# Run specific package tests
-go test ./pkg/greet/
+go test ./...                          # unit + integration tests
+./scripts/test-graceful-shutdown.sh    # lifecycle + JSON logging validation
+./scripts/test-opentelemetry.sh        # tracing end-to-end
 ```

-
-## Development
-
-### Generate OpenAPI Documentation
-
-The project uses [swaggo/swag](https://github.com/swaggo/swag) to generate OpenAPI/Swagger documentation from code annotations:
-
-```bash
-# Generate documentation
-go generate ./pkg/server/
-
-# This creates:
-# - pkg/server/docs/docs.go (swagger template)
-# - pkg/server/docs/swagger.json (OpenAPI spec)
-# - pkg/server/docs/swagger.yaml (YAML version)
-```
-
-**Note:** `pkg/server/docs/` is gitignored. Documentation is embedded in the binary at build time.
-
-### Documentation Annotations
-
-Add swagger annotations to handlers and models:
-
-```go
-// @Summary Get personalized greeting
-// @Description Returns a greeting with the specified name
-// @Tags greet
-// @Accept json
-// @Produce json
-// @Param name path string true "Name to greet"
-// @Success 200 {object} GreetResponse "Successful response"
-// @Failure 400 {object} ErrorResponse "Invalid name parameter"
-// @Router /v1/greet/{name} [get]
-func (h *apiV1GreetHandler) handleGreetPath(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
-    // handler implementation
-}
-```
+Get a token at https://gitea.arcodange.lab → Profile → Settings → Applications.
 
 ## Architecture
 
-This project uses Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to document key technical choices. See [adr/](adr/) for complete documentation including decisions on Go 1.26.1, Chi router, Zerolog, OpenTelemetry, interface-based design, graceful shutdown, configuration management, testing strategies, and OpenAPI documentation.

+# 21. JWT Secret Retention Policy
+
+**Status:** Implemented (2026-05-05 — `pkg/user/jwt_manager.go` `RemoveExpiredSecrets` + `StartCleanupLoop`, wired in `pkg/server/server.go` `Run`; admin endpoint `/api/v1/admin/jwt/secrets` remains explicitly out of scope and tracked under @todo BDD scenarios)
+
+## Context
+
+The dance-lessons-coach application requires a robust JWT secret management system that balances security and user experience. As implemented in [ADR-0009](0009-hybrid-testing-approach.md), the system supports multiple JWT secrets for graceful rotation. However, the current implementation lacks a clear policy for secret retention and cleanup.
+
+### Current State
+
+- ✅ Multiple JWT secrets supported
+- ✅ Graceful rotation implemented
+- ✅ Backward compatibility maintained
+- ❌ No automatic cleanup of old secrets
+- ❌ No configurable retention periods
+- ❌ No expiration-based secret management
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+Without a retention policy:
+1. **Security Risk**: Old secrets accumulate indefinitely, increasing attack surface
+2. **Memory Bloat**: Unbounded growth of secret storage
+3. **Operational Overhead**: Manual cleanup required
+4. **Compliance Issues**: May violate security policies requiring regular key rotation
+
+### Requirements
+
+1. **Configurable Retention**: Administrators should control how long secrets are retained
+2. **Automatic Cleanup**: System should automatically remove expired secrets
+3. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing tokens should continue working during retention period
+4. **Sensible Defaults**: Should work out-of-the-box with secure defaults
+5. **Performance**: Cleanup should not impact runtime performance
+
+## Decision
+
+### JWT Secret Retention Policy
+
+Implement a configurable retention policy based on JWT TTL (Time-To-Live) with the following components:
+
+#### 1. Configuration Structure
+
+```yaml
+jwt:
+  # Token time-to-live (default: 24h)
+  ttl: 24h
+
+  # Secret retention configuration
+  secret_retention:
+    # Retention factor multiplier (default: 2.0)
+    # Retention period = JWT TTL × retention_factor
+    retention_factor: 2.0
+
+    # Maximum retention period (safety limit, default: 72h)
+    max_retention: 72h
+
+    # Cleanup frequency for expired secrets (default: 1h)
+    cleanup_interval: 1h
+```
+
+#### 2. Retention Period Calculation
+
+```
+retention_period = min(JWT_TTL × retention_factor, max_retention)
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+- Default (24h TTL, 2.0 factor): `min(48h, 72h) = 48h`
+- Short-lived tokens (1h TTL, 3.0 factor): `min(3h, 72h) = 3h`
+- Long-lived tokens (72h TTL, 2.0 factor): `min(144h, 72h) = 72h`
+
+#### 3. Secret Lifecycle
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[Secret Created] --> B[Active Period]
+    B --> C{Retention Period}
+    C -->|Expired| D[Marked for Cleanup]
+    C -->|Valid| B
+    D --> E[Automatic Removal]
+```
+
+#### 4. Cleanup Process
+
+- **Frequency**: Configurable interval (default: 1 hour)
+- **Scope**: Remove secrets older than retention period
+- **Safety**: Never remove current primary secret
+- **Logging**: Audit trail of cleanup operations
+
+### Implementation Strategy
+
+#### Phase 1: Configuration Framework
+
+1. **Extend Config Package** (`pkg/config/config.go`)
+   - Add JWT TTL configuration
+   - Add secret retention parameters
+   - Implement validation
+
+2. **Environment Variables**
+   ```bash
+   # JWT Token TTL
+   DLC_JWT_TTL=24h
+
+   # Secret Retention
+   DLC_JWT_SECRET_RETENTION_FACTOR=2.0
+   DLC_JWT_SECRET_MAX_RETENTION=72h
+   DLC_JWT_SECRET_CLEANUP_INTERVAL=1h
+   ```
+
+#### Phase 2: Secret Manager Enhancement
+
+1. **Enhance JWTSecret Struct**
+   ```go
+   type JWTSecret struct {
+       Secret     string
+       IsPrimary  bool
+       CreatedAt  time.Time
+       ExpiresAt  *time.Time  // Now properly calculated
+       RetentionPeriod time.Duration
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Add Expiration Logic**
+   ```go
+   func (m *JWTSecretManager) AddSecret(secret string, isPrimary bool, expiresIn time.Duration) {
+       // Calculate retention period based on config
+       retentionPeriod := m.calculateRetentionPeriod()
+       expiresAt := time.Now().Add(expiresIn)
+       
+       m.secrets = append(m.secrets, JWTSecret{
+           Secret:        secret,
+           IsPrimary:     isPrimary,
+           CreatedAt:     time.Now(),
+           ExpiresAt:     &expiresAt,
+           RetentionPeriod: retentionPeriod,
+       })
+   }
+   ```
+
+#### Phase 3: Automatic Cleanup
+
+1. **Background Cleanup Job**
+   ```go
+   func (m *JWTSecretManager) StartCleanupJob(ctx context.Context, interval time.Duration) {
+       ticker := time.NewTicker(interval)
+       go func() {
+           for {
+               select {
+               case <-ticker.C:
+                   m.CleanupExpiredSecrets()
+               case <-ctx.Done():
+                   ticker.Stop()
+                   return
+               }
+           }
+       }()
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Cleanup Implementation**
+   ```go
+   func (m *JWTSecretManager) CleanupExpiredSecrets() {
+       now := time.Now()
+       var activeSecrets []JWTSecret
+       
+       for _, secret := range m.secrets {
+           if secret.IsPrimary {
+               // Never remove current primary
+               activeSecrets = append(activeSecrets, secret)
+               continue
+           }
+           
+           // Check if secret is within retention period
+           if now.Sub(secret.CreatedAt) <= secret.RetentionPeriod {
+               activeSecrets = append(activeSecrets, secret)
+           } else {
+               log.Info().
+                   Str("secret", secret.Secret).
+                   Msg("Removed expired JWT secret")
+           }
+       }
+       
+       m.secrets = activeSecrets
+   }
+   ```
+
+#### Phase 4: Integration
+
+1. **Server Initialization**
+   ```go
+   func (s *Server) InitializeJWT() error {
+       // Load config
+       jwtConfig := s.config.GetJWTConfig()
+       
+       // Create secret manager with retention policy
+       secretManager := NewJWTSecretManager(
+           jwtConfig.Secret,
+           WithRetentionFactor(jwtConfig.RetentionFactor),
+           WithMaxRetention(jwtConfig.MaxRetention),
+       )
+       
+       // Start cleanup job
+       secretManager.StartCleanupJob(s.ctx, jwtConfig.CleanupInterval)
+       
+       return nil
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Validation
+
+#### 1. Configuration Validation
+
+```go
+func (c *Config) ValidateJWTConfig() error {
+    if c.JWT.TTL <= 0 {
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt.ttl must be positive")
+    }
+    
+    if c.JWT.SecretRetention.RetentionFactor < 1.0 {
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt.secret_retention.retention_factor must be ≥ 1.0")
+    }
+    
+    if c.JWT.SecretRetention.MaxRetention <= 0 {
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt.secret_retention.max_retention must be positive")
+    }
+    
+    if c.JWT.SecretRetention.CleanupInterval <= 0 {
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt.secret_retention.cleanup_interval must be positive")
+    }
+    
+    // Ensure max retention is reasonable
+    if c.JWT.SecretRetention.MaxRetention > 720h { // 30 days
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt.secret_retention.max_retention exceeds maximum of 720h")
+    }
+    
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Runtime Validation
+
+```go
+func (m *JWTSecretManager) ValidateSecret(secret string) error {
+    // Check minimum length
+    if len(secret) < 16 {
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt secret must be at least 16 characters")
+    }
+    
+    // Check entropy (basic check)
+    if !hasSufficientEntropy(secret) {
+        return fmt.Errorf("jwt secret must have sufficient entropy")
+    }
+    
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Monitoring and Observability
+
+#### 1. Metrics
+
+```go
+// Prometheus metrics
+var (
+    jwtSecretsActive = prometheus.NewGauge(prometheus.GaugeOpts{
+        Name: "jwt_secrets_active_count",
+        Help: "Number of active JWT secrets",
+    })
+    
+    jwtSecretsExpired = prometheus.NewCounter(prometheus.CounterOpts{
+        Name: "jwt_secrets_expired_total",
+        Help: "Total number of expired JWT secrets removed",
+    })
+    
+    jwtSecretRetentionDuration = prometheus.NewHistogram(prometheus.HistogramOpts{
+        Name: "jwt_secret_retention_duration_seconds",
+        Help: "Duration of JWT secret retention periods",
+        Buckets: prometheus.ExponentialBuckets(3600, 2, 6), // 1h to 32h
+    })
+)
+```
+
+#### 2. Logging
+
+```go
+func (m *JWTSecretManager) logSecretEvent(secret string, event string, details ...interface{}) {
+    log.Info().
+        Str("secret", maskSecret(secret)).
+        Str("event", event).
+        Interface("details", details).
+        Msg("JWT secret event")
+}
+
+func maskSecret(secret string) string {
+    if len(secret) <= 4 {
+        return "****"
+    }
+    return secret[:4] + "****" + secret[len(secret)-4:]
+}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Enhanced Security**: Automatic cleanup reduces attack surface
+2. **Reduced Memory Usage**: Prevents unbounded growth of secret storage
+3. **Operational Efficiency**: No manual cleanup required
+4. **Compliance Ready**: Meets security policy requirements for key rotation
+5. **Flexibility**: Configurable to meet different security requirements
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Complexity**: Adds configuration and cleanup logic
+2. **Performance Overhead**: Background cleanup job (minimal impact)
+3. **Migration**: Existing deployments need configuration updates
+4. **Debugging**: More moving parts to troubleshoot
+
+### Neutral
+
+1. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing tokens continue to work
+2. **Learning Curve**: New configuration options to understand
+3. **Monitoring**: Additional metrics to track
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Fixed Retention Period
+
+**Proposal**: Use fixed retention period (e.g., 48 hours) instead of TTL-based calculation
+
+**Rejected Because**:
+- Less flexible for different use cases
+- Doesn't scale with JWT TTL changes
+- May be too short for long-lived tokens or too long for short-lived ones
+
+### Alternative 2: Manual Cleanup Only
+
+**Proposal**: Require administrators to manually clean up old secrets
+
+**Rejected Because**:
+- Operational overhead
+- Security risk if cleanup is forgotten
+- Doesn't scale for frequent rotations
+
+### Alternative 3: No Retention (Current State)
+
+**Proposal**: Keep current behavior with no automatic cleanup
+
+**Rejected Because**:
+- Security concerns with accumulating secrets
+- Memory management issues
+- Compliance violations
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Security**: No old secrets remain beyond retention period
+2. **Reliability**: 99.9% of valid tokens continue to work during rotation
+3. **Performance**: Cleanup job completes in <100ms with <1000 secrets
+4. **Adoption**: Configuration used in 100% of deployments within 3 months
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Preparation (1 week)
+- ✅ Create this ADR
+- ✅ Update documentation
+- ✅ Add configuration to config package
+- ✅ Implement basic retention logic
+
+### Phase 2: Testing (2 weeks)

+## Appendix
+
+### Configuration Examples
+
+**Development Environment** (short retention for testing):
+```yaml
+jwt:
+  ttl: 1h
+  secret_retention:
+    retention_factor: 1.5
+    max_retention: 3h
+    cleanup_interval: 30m
+```
+
+**Production Environment** (secure defaults):
+```yaml
+jwt:
+  ttl: 24h
+  secret_retention:
+    retention_factor: 2.0
+    max_retention: 72h
+    cleanup_interval: 1h
+```
+
+**High-Security Environment** (aggressive rotation):
+```yaml
+jwt:
+  ttl: 8h
+  secret_retention:
+    retention_factor: 1.5
+    max_retention: 24h
+    cleanup_interval: 30m
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue**: Secrets being removed too quickly
+- **Check**: Retention factor and JWT TTL settings
+- **Fix**: Increase retention_factor or JWT TTL
+
+**Issue**: Too many old secrets accumulating
+- **Check**: Cleanup job logs and interval
+- **Fix**: Decrease cleanup_interval or retention_factor
+
+**Issue**: Performance degradation during cleanup
+- **Check**: Number of secrets and cleanup frequency
+- **Fix**: Optimize cleanup algorithm or increase interval
+
+### FAQ
+
+**Q: What happens to tokens signed with expired secrets?**
+A: Tokens signed with expired secrets will be rejected during validation, requiring users to re-authenticate.
+
+**Q: Can I disable automatic cleanup?**
+A: Yes, set `cleanup_interval` to a very high value (e.g., `8760h` for 1 year).
+
+**Q: How does this affect existing deployments?**
+A: Existing deployments will use sensible defaults. The feature is backward compatible.
+
+**Q: What's the recommended retention factor?**
+A: Start with 2.0 (2× JWT TTL) and adjust based on your security requirements and user experience needs.
+
+**Q: How often should cleanup run?**
+A: For most deployments, every 1 hour is sufficient. High-volume systems may need more frequent cleanup.

+# ADR 0022: Rate Limiting and Cache Strategy
+
+**Status:** Implemented (Phase 1) - Phase 2 still Proposed
+
+## Context
+
+As the dance-lessons-coach application grows and potentially serves multiple users simultaneously, we need to implement rate limiting to:
+
+1. **Prevent abuse** of API endpoints
+2. **Protect against DDoS attacks**
+3. **Ensure fair usage** across all users
+4. **Maintain system stability** under load
+5. **Provide consistent performance**
+
+Additionally, we need a caching strategy to:
+1. **Reduce database load** for frequently accessed data
+2. **Improve response times** for common requests
+3. **Support horizontal scaling** with shared cache
+4. **Handle cache invalidation** properly
+
+## Decision
+
+We will implement a **multi-phase caching and rate limiting strategy** with the following components:
+
+### Phase 1: In-Memory Cache with TTL Support
+
+**Library Selection**: We will use **`github.com/patrickmn/go-cache`** for in-memory caching because:
+
+✅ **Pros:**
+- Simple, lightweight, and well-maintained
+- Built-in TTL (Time-To-Live) support
+- Thread-safe by default
+- No external dependencies
+- Good performance for single-instance applications
+- Supports automatic expiration
+
+❌ **Cons:**
+- Not shared between multiple instances
+- Memory-bound (not persistent)
+- Limited advanced features
+
+**Implementation Plan:**
+```go
+type CacheService interface {
+    Set(key string, value interface{}, expiration time.Duration) error
+    Get(key string) (interface{}, bool)
+    Delete(key string) error
+    Flush() error
+    GetWithTTL(key string) (interface{}, time.Duration, bool)
+}
+
+type InMemoryCacheService struct {
+    cache *cache.Cache
+    defaultTTL time.Duration
+    cleanupInterval time.Duration
+}
+```
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- JWT token validation results
+- User session data
+- Frequently accessed greet messages
+- API response caching for idempotent endpoints
+
+### Phase 2: Redis-Compatible Shared Cache
+
+**Library Selection**: We will use **`github.com/redis/go-redis/v9`** with a **Redis-compatible open-source alternative**:
+
+**Primary Choice**: **Dragonfly** (https://www.dragonflydb.io/)
+- Redis-compatible
+- Open-source (Apache 2.0 license)
+- Written in C++ with multi-threaded architecture
+- 25x higher throughput than Redis
+- Lower latency
+- Drop-in Redis replacement
+
+**Fallback Choice**: **KeyDB** (https://keydb.dev/)
+- Multi-threaded Redis fork
+- Open-source (GPL license)
+- Better performance than Redis
+- Full Redis API compatibility
+

+
+### Phase 3: Rate Limiting Implementation
+
+**Library Selection**: We will use **`github.com/ulule/limiter/v3`** because:
+
+✅ **Pros:**
+- Multiple storage backends (in-memory, Redis, etc.)
+- Sliding window algorithm
+- Distributed rate limiting support
+- Configurable rate limits
+- Middleware support for Chi router
+- Good performance
+
+**Implementation Plan:**
+```go
+// Rate limit configuration
+type RateLimitConfig struct {
+    Enabled          bool          `mapstructure:"enabled"`
+    RequestsPerHour  int           `mapstructure:"requests_per_hour"`
+    BurstLimit        int           `mapstructure:"burst_limit"`
+    IPWhitelist       []string      `mapstructure:"ip_whitelist"`
+    EndpointSpecific  map[string]struct {
+        RequestsPerHour int `mapstructure:"requests_per_hour"`
+        BurstLimit      int `mapstructure:"burst_limit"`
+    } `mapstructure:"endpoint_specific"`
+}
+
+// Rate limiter service
+type RateLimiterService struct {
+    limiter *limiter.Limiter
+    store   limiter.Store
+    config  *RateLimitConfig
+}
+
+func NewRateLimiterService(config *RateLimitConfig) (*RateLimiterService, error) {
+    var store limiter.Store
+    
+    // Use Redis if available, otherwise use in-memory
+    if config.UseRedis {
+        // Initialize Redis store
+        store, err = limiter.NewStoreRedisWithOptions(&limiter.StoreOptions{
+            Prefix: config.RedisPrefix,
+            // ... other Redis options
+        })
+    } else {
+        // Use in-memory store
+        store = limiter.NewStoreMemory()
+    }
+    
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to create rate limiter store: %w", err)
+    }
+    
+    // Create rate limiter
+    rate := limiter.Rate{
+        Period: time.Hour,
+        Limit:  int64(config.RequestsPerHour),
+    }
+    
+    return &RateLimiterService{
+        limiter: limiter.New(store, rate),
+        store:   store,
+        config:  config,
+    }, nil
+}
+```
+
+**Chi Middleware:**
+```go
+func RateLimitMiddleware(limiter *RateLimiterService) func(http.Handler) http.Handler {
+    return func(next http.Handler) http.Handler {
+        return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+            // Skip rate limiting for whitelisted IPs
+            clientIP := r.Header.Get("X-Real-IP")
+            if clientIP == "" {
+                clientIP = r.RemoteAddr
+            }
+            
+            for _, allowedIP := range limiter.config.IPWhitelist {
+                if clientIP == allowedIP {
+                    next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
+                    return
+                }
+            }
+            
+            // Get rate limit context
+            context, err := limiter.limiter.Get(r.Context(), clientIP)
+            if err != nil {
+                log.Error().Err(err).Str("ip", clientIP).Msg("Rate limit error")
+                http.Error(w, "Internal server error", http.StatusInternalServerError)
+                return
+            }
+            
+            // Check if rate limit is exceeded
+            if context.Reached > 0 {
+                w.Header().Set("X-RateLimit-Limit", strconv.Itoa(limiter.config.RequestsPerHour))
+                w.Header().Set("X-RateLimit-Remaining", "0")
+                w.Header().Set("X-RateLimit-Reset", strconv.Itoa(int(context.Reset)))
+                
+                http.Error(w, "Too many requests", http.StatusTooManyRequests)
+                return
+            }
+            
+            // Set rate limit headers
+            w.Header().Set("X-RateLimit-Limit", strconv.Itoa(limiter.config.RequestsPerHour))
+            w.Header().Set("X-RateLimit-Remaining", strconv.Itoa(limiter.config.RequestsPerHour-int(context.Reached)))
+            w.Header().Set("X-RateLimit-Reset", strconv.Itoa(int(context.Reset)))
+            
+            next.ServeHTTP(w, r)
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Cache Invalidation Strategy
+
+**Approach**: Hybrid cache invalidation with multiple strategies:
+
+1. **Time-Based Expiration (TTL)**
+   - All cache entries have a TTL
+   - Automatic expiration prevents stale data
+   - Default TTL: 5 minutes for most data
+
+2. **Event-Based Invalidation**
+   - Cache keys are invalidated on specific events
+   - Example: User data cache invalidated on user update
+   - Uses pub/sub pattern for distributed invalidation
+
+3. **Versioned Cache Keys**
+   - Cache keys include data version
+   - When data changes, version increments
+   - Old cache entries naturally expire
+
+4. **Write-Through Caching**
+   - Data written to database and cache simultaneously
+   - Ensures cache is always up-to-date
+   - Used for critical data that must be consistent
+
+**Cache Key Strategy:**
+```go
+func GetCacheKey(prefix, entityType, entityID string) string {
+    return fmt.Sprintf("%s:%s:%s", prefix, entityType, entityID)
+}
+
+// Example: "dlc:user:123"
+// Example: "dlc:jwt:validation:token_hash"
+```

+      burst_limit: 10
+    "/api/v1/auth/register":
+      requests_per_hour: 50
+      burst_limit: 5
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Metrics
+
+**Cache Metrics:**
+- Cache hit/miss ratio
+- Average cache latency
+- Cache size and memory usage
+- Eviction rate
+- TTL distribution
+
+**Rate Limit Metrics:**
+- Requests allowed vs rejected
+- Rate limit exceeded events
+- Top limited IPs
+- Endpoint-specific rate limit usage
+
+**Prometheus Metrics:**
+```go
+var (
+    cacheHits = prometheus.NewCounterVec(prometheus.CounterOpts{
+        Name: "cache_hits_total",
+        Help: "Number of cache hits",
+    }, []string{"cache_type", "entity_type"})
+    
+    cacheMisses = prometheus.NewCounterVec(prometheus.CounterOpts{
+        Name: "cache_misses_total",
+        Help: "Number of cache misses",
+    }, []string{"cache_type", "entity_type"})
+    
+    rateLimitExceeded = prometheus.NewCounterVec(prometheus.CounterOpts{
+        Name: "rate_limit_exceeded_total",
+        Help: "Number of rate limit exceeded events",
+    }, []string{"endpoint", "ip"})
+)
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Cache Security:**
+   - Never cache sensitive user data (passwords, tokens)
+   - Use separate cache prefixes for different data types
+   - Implement cache key hashing for sensitive data
+   - Set appropriate TTLs to limit exposure
+
+2. **Rate Limit Security:**
+   - Prevent rate limit bypass attacks
+   - Use X-Real-IP header for proper IP detection
+   - Implement rate limit for authentication endpoints
+   - Log rate limit violations for security monitoring
+
+3. **Redis Security:**
+   - Use authentication if enabled
+   - Implement TLS for Redis connections
+   - Use separate database numbers for different environments
+   - Limit Redis commands to prevent abuse
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Cache Performance:**
+   - Benchmark cache operations
+   - Monitor cache latency
+   - Optimize cache key size
+   - Use appropriate data structures
+
+2. **Rate Limit Performance:**
+   - Use efficient rate limiting algorithm
+   - Minimize middleware overhead
+   - Cache rate limit decisions
+   - Batch rate limit checks where possible
+
+3. **Memory Management:**
+   - Set reasonable cache size limits
+   - Monitor memory usage
+   - Implement cache eviction policies
+   - Use memory-efficient data structures
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### From No Cache to In-Memory Cache
+1. Implement cache interface and in-memory service
+2. Add cache configuration with sensible defaults
+3. Gradually add caching to critical endpoints
+4. Monitor cache performance and hit ratios
+5. Adjust TTLs based on usage patterns
+
+### From In-Memory to Redis Cache
+1. Set up Dragonfly/KeyDB in development
+2. Implement Redis cache service
+3. Add fallback logic (Redis → in-memory)
+4. Test with both caches enabled
+5. Gradually migrate to Redis-only
+6. Monitor distributed cache performance
+
+### From No Rate Limiting to Rate Limiting
+1. Implement rate limiter with generous limits
+2. Add monitoring for rate limit events
+3. Gradually tighten limits based on usage
+4. Add IP whitelist for critical services
+5. Implement endpoint-specific limits
+6. Monitor and adjust as needed
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Cache Libraries
+1. **`github.com/bluele/gcache`** - More features but more complex
+2. **`github.com/allegro/bigcache`** - High performance but no TTL
+3. **`github.com/coocood/freecache`** - Very fast but limited API
+
+### Redis Alternatives
+1. **Redis Enterprise** - Commercial, not open-source
+2. **Memcached** - No persistence, simpler protocol
+3. **Couchbase** - More complex, document-oriented
+
+### Rate Limiting Libraries

+   - No impact on normal usage patterns
+
+3. **System Stability:**
+   - Reduced database load by 50%
+   - Consistent response times under load

+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|

+# Config Hot Reloading Strategy
+
+**Status:** Implemented — all 4 phases shipped (2026-05-05). Hot-reloadable fields: `logging.level` (Phase 1), `auth.jwt.ttl` (Phase 2), `telemetry.sampler.type` + `telemetry.sampler.ratio` (Phase 3), `api.v2_enabled` (Phase 4). Plumbing: `Config.WatchAndApply` in `pkg/config/config.go` is the single entry point. Phase 2 fixed a pre-existing bug where hardcoded 24h TTL ignored `auth.jwt.ttl`. Phase 4 chose the **always-register-with-middleware-gate** approach: v2 routes are now ALWAYS registered, and `Server.v2EnabledGate` middleware reads the live config on every request (returns 404 + JSON body when disabled). No router rebuild needed for the flag flip. 3 unit tests in `pkg/server/v2_gate_test.go` cover blocked-when-disabled / passes-when-enabled / hot-reload-mid-life-of-same-Server.

+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The dance-lessons-coach application currently loads configuration once at startup using Viper, which supports file-based configuration, environment variables, and defaults. However, the current implementation does not support runtime configuration changes without restarting the application.
+
+We need to determine whether and how to implement config hot reloading - the ability to detect changes to the optional `config.yaml` file and apply those changes without requiring a full application restart.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Development convenience**: Hot reloading would allow developers to change configuration without restarting the server during development
+* **Production flexibility**: Ability to adjust certain configuration parameters without downtime
+* **Complexity**: Hot reloading adds significant complexity to the codebase
+* **Safety**: Some configuration changes require careful handling to avoid runtime errors
+* **Viper capabilities**: Viper already supports file watching through `viper.WatchConfig()`
+* **Configuration scope**: Not all configuration parameters can or should be hot-reloaded
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1: Full Hot Reloading with Viper WatchConfig
+
+Implement comprehensive hot reloading using Viper's built-in `WatchConfig()` functionality to monitor the config file and automatically reload when changes are detected.
+
+### Option 2: Selective Hot Reloading
+
+Only allow hot reloading for specific configuration sections that are safe to change at runtime (e.g., logging level, feature flags) while requiring restart for others (e.g., server host/port, database credentials).
+
+### Option 3: Manual Reload Endpoint
+
+Add an admin endpoint (e.g., `POST /api/admin/reload-config`) that triggers configuration reload when called, giving explicit control over when reloading happens.
+
+### Option 4: No Hot Reloading
+
+Maintain the current approach of loading configuration only at startup, requiring application restart for any configuration changes.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: **"Selective Hot Reloading"** because it provides the benefits of runtime configuration changes while maintaining safety and control. This approach:
+
+* Allows safe configuration changes without restart
+* Prevents dangerous runtime changes to critical parameters
+* Leverages Viper's existing capabilities
+* Provides a clear boundary between hot-reloadable and non-hot-reloadable settings
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### Hot-Reloadable Configuration
+
+The following configuration parameters will support hot reloading:
+
+* **Logging level** (`logging.level`)
+* **Feature flags** (`api.v2_enabled`)
+* **Telemetry sampling** (`telemetry.sampler.type`, `telemetry.sampler.ratio`)
+* **JWT TTL** (`auth.jwt.ttl`)
+
+### Non-Hot-Reloadable Configuration
+
+These parameters will require application restart:
+
+* **Server settings** (`server.host`, `server.port`)
+* **Database credentials** (`database.*`)
+* **JWT secret** (`auth.jwt_secret`)
+* **Admin credentials** (`auth.admin_master_password`)
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+```go
+// Add to config package
+type ConfigManager struct {
+    config     *Config
+    viper      *viper.Viper
+    changeChan chan struct{}
+    stopChan   chan struct{}
+}
+
+func NewConfigManager() (*ConfigManager, error) {
+    // Initialize Viper and load initial config
+    // Start file watcher if config file exists
+}
+
+func (cm *ConfigManager) StartWatching() {
+    if cm.viper != nil {
+        cm.viper.WatchConfig()
+        cm.viper.OnConfigChange(func(e fsnotify.Event) {
+            cm.handleConfigChange()
+        })
+    }
+}
+
+func (cm *ConfigManager) handleConfigChange() {
+    // Reload only safe configuration sections
+    // Update logging level if changed
+    // Update feature flags if changed
+    // Notify other components of changes
+    
+    log.Info().Msg("Configuration reloaded (partial)")
+}
+
+// Safe getter methods that work with hot reloading
+func (cm *ConfigManager) GetLogLevel() string {
+    // Return current value, potentially updated via hot reload
+}
+```
+
+### Configuration File Monitoring
+
+```go
+// In main application setup
+func main() {
+    configManager, err := config.NewConfigManager()
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal().Err(err).Msg("Failed to initialize config")
+    }
+    
+    // Start watching for config changes
+    configManager.StartWatching()
+    
+    // Use configManager throughout application instead of direct config access
+}
+```
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+### Option 1: Full Hot Reloading with Viper WatchConfig
+
+* **Good**: Maximum flexibility for configuration changes
+* **Good**: Leverages Viper's built-in capabilities
+* **Good**: Good for development workflow
+* **Bad**: High risk of runtime errors from unsafe changes
+* **Bad**: Complex to implement safely
+* **Bad**: Hard to debug configuration-related issues
+
+### Option 2: Selective Hot Reloading (Chosen)
+
+* **Good**: Safe approach with clear boundaries
+* **Good**: Balances flexibility and stability
+* **Good**: Easier to implement and maintain
+* **Good**: Clear documentation of what can be changed
+* **Bad**: More complex than no hot reloading
+* **Bad**: Requires careful design of config access patterns
+
+### Option 3: Manual Reload Endpoint
+
+* **Good**: Explicit control over when reloading happens
+* **Good**: Can be secured with authentication
+* **Good**: Good for production environments
+* **Bad**: Less convenient for development
+* **Bad**: Requires additional API endpoint management
+* **Bad**: Still needs same safety considerations as automatic reloading
+
+### Option 4: No Hot Reloading
+
+* **Good**: Simplest approach
+* **Good**: No risk of runtime configuration errors
+* **Good**: Easier to reason about application state
+* **Bad**: Requires restart for any configuration change
+* **Bad**: Less flexible for production adjustments
+* **Bad**: Slower development iteration
+
+## Configuration Change Handling
+
+### Safe Change Pattern
+
+```go
+// Example: Logging level change
+func (cm *ConfigManager) handleConfigChange() {
+    // Get new config values
+    newConfig := &Config{}
+    if err := cm.viper.Unmarshal(newConfig); err != nil {
+        log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Failed to unmarshal new config")
+        return
+    }
+    
+    // Apply safe changes
+    if newConfig.Logging.Level != cm.config.Logging.Level {
+        if err := cm.applyLogLevelChange(newConfig.Logging.Level); err != nil {
+            log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Failed to apply log level change")
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // Update other safe parameters...
+}
+
+func (cm *ConfigManager) applyLogLevelChange(newLevel string) error {
+    // Validate new level
+    level := parseLogLevel(newLevel)
+    
+    // Apply change
+    zerolog.SetGlobalLevel(level)
+    cm.config.Logging.Level = newLevel
+    
+    log.Info().Str("new_level", newLevel).Msg("Log level updated")
+    return nil
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+* Invalid configuration changes are logged but don't crash the application
+* Failed changes revert to previous known-good values
+* Critical errors during reload trigger application shutdown
+* All changes are logged for audit purposes

+  port: 8080
+
+logging:
+  level: "info"  # Can be changed without restart
+  json: false
+  output: ""

+
+telemetry:
+  enabled: false
+  sampler:
+    type: "parentbased_always_on"  # Can be changed without restart
+    ratio: 1.0
+```
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Implement ConfigManager wrapper around existing config
+2. **Phase 2**: Add selective hot reloading for logging level
+3. **Phase 3**: Extend to feature flags and telemetry settings
+4. **Phase 4**: Add documentation and examples
+5. **Phase 5**: Update all components to use ConfigManager instead of direct config access
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+* Log all configuration changes with timestamps
+* Include previous and new values in change logs
+* Add metrics for configuration reload events
+* Provide admin endpoint to view current configuration
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+* Config file permissions should be restrictive
+* Hot reloading should be disabled in production by default
+* Configuration changes should be audited
+* Sensitive parameters should never be hot-reloadable
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+* Configuration change webhooks
+* Configuration versioning and rollback
+* Configuration validation before applying changes
+* Multi-file configuration support

+# ADR 0024: BDD Test Organization and Isolation Strategy
+
+**Status:** Implemented (Phase 1 + Phase 2 + Phase 3 — parallel testing via [PR #35](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach/pulls/35), isolation strategy detailed in [ADR-0025](0025-bdd-scenario-isolation-strategies.md))
+
+## Context
+
+As the dance-lessons-coach project grows, our BDD test suite has encountered several challenges. While we initially followed basic Godog patterns, we need to evolve our organization to handle complex scenarios like config hot reloading while maintaining test reliability.
+
+### Current Issues
+
+1. **Test Interdependence**: Tests affect each other through shared state (config files, database)
+2. **Timing Issues**: Config reloading and server restarts cause race conditions
+3. **Cognitive Load**: Large test files with many scenarios are hard to maintain
+4. **Flaky Tests**: Tests pass individually but fail when run together
+5. **Edge Case Handling**: Special setup/teardown requirements for certain tests
+
+### Godog Best Practices Alignment
+
+According to [Godog documentation](https://github.com/cucumber/godog) and community best practices, our current organization partially follows recommendations but needs improvement in:
+
+- **Feature Granularity**: Some files contain multiple unrelated features
+- **Step Organization**: Steps could be better grouped by domain
+- **Context Management**: Need better state isolation between scenarios
+- **Tagging Strategy**: Currently missing tag-based test selection
+
+## Decision
+
+Adopt a **modular, isolated test suite architecture** with the following principles:
+
+### 1. Test Organization by Feature (Godog-Aligned)
+
+Following [Godog best practices](https://github.com/cucumber/godog), we organize tests by business domain with proper feature granularity:
+
+```
+features/
+├── auth/                          # Business domain
+│   ├── authentication.feature     # Single feature per file
+│   ├── password_reset.feature     # Single feature per file
+│   └── user_management.feature    # Single feature per file
+├── config/                        # Business domain
+│   ├── hot_reloading.feature       # Single feature per file
+│   └── validation.feature          # Single feature per file
+├── greet/                         # Business domain
+│   ├── v1_greeting.feature         # Single feature per file
+│   └── v2_greeting.feature         # Single feature per file
+├── health/                        # Business domain
+│   └── health_check.feature        # Single feature per file
+└── jwt/                           # Business domain
+    ├── secret_rotation.feature     # Single feature per file
+    └── retention_policy.feature   # Single feature per file
+```
+
+**Key Improvements over current structure:**
+- ✅ **Single responsibility**: One feature per file
+- ✅ **Business alignment**: Grouped by domain, not technical concerns
+- ✅ **Scalability**: Easy to add new features without bloating files
+
+### 2. Isolation Strategies
+
+#### A. Config File Isolation
+- Each feature directory has its own config file pattern
+- Config files are cleaned up after each feature test run
+- Example: `features/auth/auth-test-config.yaml`
+
+#### B. Database Isolation
+- Use separate database schemas or suffixes per feature
+- Example: `dance_lessons_coach_auth_test`, `dance_lessons_coach_greet_test`
+
+#### C. Server Port Isolation
+- Assign different ports to different test groups
+- Prevents port conflicts during parallel testing
+
+### 3. Test Execution Strategy
+
+#### Option 1: Sequential Feature Testing (Recommended)
+```bash
+# Run tests by feature group
+./scripts/test-feature.sh auth
+./scripts/test-feature.sh config
+./scripts/test-feature.sh greet
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Parallel Feature Testing (Advanced)
+```bash
+# Run features in parallel with isolation
+./scripts/test-all-features-parallel.sh
+```
+
+### 4. Test Synchronization (Godog Best Practices)
+
+#### A. Explicit Waits with Timeouts
+Following Godog's [arrange-act-assert pattern](https://alicegg.tech/2019/03/09/gobdd.html):
+
+```go
+// Instead of fixed sleep times
+func waitForServerReady(maxAttempts int, delay time.Duration) error {
+    for i := 0; i < maxAttempts; i++ {
+        if serverIsReady() {
+            return nil
+        }
+        time.Sleep(delay)
+    }
+    return fmt.Errorf("server not ready after %d attempts", maxAttempts)
+}
+```
+
+#### B. Godog Context Management
+Implement proper context structs as recommended by Godog:
+
+```go
+// Feature-specific context for isolation
+type AuthContext struct {
+    client *testserver.Client
+    db     *sql.DB
+    users  map[string]UserData
+}
+
+func InitializeAuthContext() *AuthContext {
+    return &AuthContext{
+        client: testserver.NewClient(),
+        db:     connectToFeatureDB("auth"),
+        users:  make(map[string]UserData),
+    }
+}
+
+func CleanupAuthContext(ctx *AuthContext) {
+    // Cleanup resources
+    ctx.db.Close()
+}
+```
+
+#### C. Tag-Based Test Selection
+Add Godog tag support for selective test execution:
+
+```go
+// In feature files
+@smoke @auth
+Scenario: Successful user authentication
+  Given the server is running
+  When I authenticate with valid credentials
+  Then the authentication should be successful
+
+// Run specific tags
+go test ./features/... -tags=smoke
+godog --tags=@auth features/
+```
+
+#### B. Event-Based Synchronization
+```go
+// Use server lifecycle events
+func waitForConfigReload() error {
+    return waitForEvent("config_reloaded", 30*time.Second)
+}
+```
+
+#### C. Test Hooks with Timeouts
+```go
+// In test setup
+ctx.Step("^I wait for v2 API to be enabled$", func() error {
+    return waitForCondition(30*time.Second, func() bool {
+        return v2EndpointAvailable()
+    })
+})
+```
+
+### 5. Test Lifecycle Management
+
+#### Before Suite (Feature Level)
+```go
+func InitializeFeatureSuite(featureName string) {
+    // Setup feature-specific resources
+    initDatabaseForFeature(featureName)
+    createFeatureConfigFile(featureName)
+    startIsolatedServer(featureName)
+}
+```
+
+#### After Suite (Feature Level)
+```go
+func CleanupFeatureSuite(featureName string) {
+    // Cleanup feature-specific resources
+    cleanupDatabaseForFeature(featureName)
+    removeFeatureConfigFile(featureName)
+    stopIsolatedServer(featureName)
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Shell Script Integration
+
+Create feature-specific test scripts:
+
+```bash
+# scripts/test-feature.sh
+#!/bin/bash
+
+FEATURE=$1
+DATABASE="dance_lessons_coach_${FEATURE}_test"
+CONFIG="features/${FEATURE}/${FEATURE}-test-config.yaml"
+
+# Setup
+setup_feature_environment() {
+    echo "🧪 Setting up ${FEATURE} feature tests..."
+    create_database ${DATABASE}
+    generate_config ${CONFIG}
+}
+
+# Run tests
+run_feature_tests() {
+    echo "🚀 Running ${FEATURE} feature tests..."
+    DLC_DATABASE_NAME=${DATABASE} \
+    DLC_CONFIG_FILE=${CONFIG} \
+    go test ./features/${FEATURE}/... -v
+}
+
+# Teardown
+cleanup_feature_environment() {
+    echo "🧹 Cleaning up ${FEATURE} feature tests..."
+    drop_database ${DATABASE}
+    remove_config ${CONFIG}
+}
+
+# Main execution
+setup_feature_environment
+run_feature_tests
+cleanup_feature_environment
+```
+
+### 7. Configuration Management
+
+#### Feature-Specific Config Files
+```yaml
+# features/auth/auth-test-config.yaml
+server:
+  host: "127.0.0.1"
+  port: 9192  # Feature-specific port
+
+database:
+  name: "dance_lessons_coach_auth_test"  # Feature-specific database
+
+api:
+  v2_enabled: true  # Feature-specific settings
+
+auth:
+  jwt:
+    ttl: 1h
+```
+
+### 8. Test Data Management
+
+#### A. Feature-Scoped Data
+- Each feature gets its own data namespace
+- Example: `auth_user_*`, `greet_message_*` prefixes
+
+#### B. Automatic Cleanup
+```go
+func CleanupFeatureData(featureName string) {
+    // Remove all data created by this feature
+    db.Exec(fmt.Sprintf("DELETE FROM %s_* WHERE feature = '%s'", featureName, featureName))
+}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Improved Test Reliability**: Tests don't interfere with each other
+2. **Better Maintainability**: Smaller, focused test files
+3. **Faster Development**: Run only relevant tests during feature development
+4. **Easier Debugging**: Isolate issues to specific features
+5. **Parallel Testing**: Enable safe parallel execution
+6. **SOLID Compliance**: Single responsibility for test files
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Increased Complexity**: More moving parts in test infrastructure
+2. **Resource Usage**: Multiple databases/servers consume more resources
+3. **Setup Time**: Initial test runs may be slower due to setup
+4. **Learning Curve**: Team needs to understand the isolation patterns
+
+### Neutral
+
+1. **Test Execution Time**: May increase or decrease depending on parallelization
+2. **CI/CD Changes**: Pipeline needs adaptation for new test organization
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Refactor Current Tests — ✅ Implemented
+1. Split monolithic feature files into feature directories — done (see `features/<domain>/` layout)
+2. Create feature-specific test scripts — done
+3. Implement basic isolation (config files, database names) — done
+
+### Phase 2: Enhance Test Infrastructure — ✅ Implemented
+1. Add synchronization helpers to test framework — done
+2. Implement server lifecycle management — done (`pkg/bdd/testserver/server.go`)
+3. Create comprehensive cleanup routines — done
+
+### Phase 3: Parallel Testing — ✅ Implemented (PR #35, 2026-05-03)
+1. Add parallel test execution capability — done (schema-per-package isolation, **2.85x speedup**)
+2. Implement port management for parallel runs — done (`pkg/bdd/parallel/port_manager.go`)
+3. Add resource monitoring — deferred (not blocking; can be reopened as separate ADR if/when CI flakiness re-emerges)
+
+The strategy choice between alternatives (TRUNCATE vs schema isolation vs container-per-test) is documented in [ADR-0025](0025-bdd-scenario-isolation-strategies.md). Default behavior in CI is `BDD_SCHEMA_ISOLATION=true` (cf. `documentation/BDD_TEST_ENV.md`).
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Single Test Suite with Better Cleanup
+**Rejected because**: Doesn't solve fundamental interdependence issues
+
+### 2. Docker-Based Isolation
+**Rejected because**: Too heavyweight for local development
+
+### 3. Test Virtualization
+**Rejected because**: Overkill for current project size
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+1. **Test Reliability**: >95% pass rate in CI/CD
+2. **Test Isolation**: Ability to run any single feature test independently
+3. **Developer Experience**: Feature tests run in <30 seconds locally
+4. **Maintainability**: New team members can understand test structure in <1 hour

+# ADR 0025: BDD Scenario Isolation Strategies
+
+**Status:** Implemented (per-package schema isolation since T12 stage 2/2 - 2026-05-03)
+
+## Context
+
+As our BDD test suite grows, we're encountering **test pollution** issues where scenarios interfere with each other through shared state. This is particularly problematic for:
+
+1. **Database state**: Scenarios create users, JWT secrets, config entries that persist across scenarios
+2. **JWT secret rotation**: Multiple secrets accumulate, affecting subsequent scenario authentication
+3. **Config file modifications**: Feature flag changes persist between tests
+4. **Gherkin Background steps**: Data set up in Background is visible to all scenarios in the feature
+
+Our current approach clears database tables after each scenario, but this has **race condition vulnerabilities** with concurrent scenario execution.
+
+### Gherkin Background Consideration
+
+Crucially, Gherkin's `Background` section runs **before each scenario** in a feature, not once before all scenarios. This means:
+
+```gherkin
+Feature: User registration
+  Background:
+    Given the database is empty
+    And a default admin user exists
+  
+  Scenario: Register new user
+    When I register user "alice"
+    Then user "alice" should exist
+  
+  Scenario: Register duplicate user
+    When I register user "alice"
+    Then I should see error "user already exists"
+```
+
+The second scenario fails because Background creates data that persists, and the first scenario's data isn't cleaned up. Background steps are re-executed before each scenario.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Isolation**: Each scenario must start with a clean slate
+* **Performance**: Cleanup must be fast enough for CI/CD pipelines
+* **Concurrency**: Must work with parallel scenario execution
+* **Compatibility**: Must work with Gherkin Background steps
+* **Maintainability**: Solution should be simple to understand and debug
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1: Transaction Rollback (Rejected ❌)
+
+Wrap each scenario in a database transaction, rollback at the end.
+
+```go
+BeforeScenario: BEGIN;
+AfterScenario: ROLLBACK;
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Simple implementation
+- Fast - transaction rollback is nearly instant
+- No data cleanup needed
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ **Fails if scenario commits**: Nested transaction problem - `COMMIT` inside scenario releases the transaction, parent `ROLLBACK` has no effect
+- Cannot handle non-database state (JWT secrets in memory, config files)
+- Doesn't solve JWT secret pollution
+
+**Verdict: Not viable** - Too many scenarios use database transactions internally.
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: Clear Tables in Public Schema (Current ✅/⚠️)
+
+Delete all rows from all tables after each scenario.
+
+```go
+AfterScenario: DELETE FROM table1; DELETE FROM table2; ...
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Currently implemented
+- Works with any scenario code
+- Handles database state
+
+**Cons:**
+- ⚠️ **Race conditions**: Concurrent scenarios can interleave - Scenario A deletes data while Scenario B is still using it
+- ⚠️ **Slow**: Must delete from all tables, reset sequences
+- ❌ **Misses in-memory state**: JWT secrets, config changes persist
+- ❌ **Doesn't handle Background**: Background data is shared across scenarios
+
+**Verdict: Partially adequate** - Works for sequential execution but has parallel execution issues.
+
+---
+
+### Option 3: Schema-per-Scenario (Recommended ✅)
+
+Create a unique PostgreSQL schema for each scenario, drop it after.
+
+```go
+BeforeScenario:
+  schema := "test_" + sha256(scenario.Name)[:8]
+  CREATE SCHEMA schema;
+  SET search_path = schema, public;
+  
+AfterScenario:
+  DROP SCHEMA schema CASCADE;
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ **True isolation**: Each scenario has its own database namespace
+- ✅ **Works with transactions**: Scenario can commit freely - entire schema is dropped
+- ✅ **Works with Background**: Background runs in scenario's schema, data is isolated
+- ✅ **Fast**: Schema drop is instant (just metadata deletion)
+- ✅ **Handles concurrent scenarios**: Different schemas = no conflicts
+
+**Cons:**
+- Requires `CREATE/DROP SCHEMA` database privileges in test environment
+- Some ORMs may hardcode `public` schema - need to use `SET search_path` carefully
+- Test DB must allow many schemas (typically fine for PostgreSQL)
+- We need to handle `search_path` in connection pooling (each scenario needs its own connection)
+
+**Implementation notes:**
+- Use `Luego` (PostgreSQL schema prefix) approach: `test_{hash}`
+- Hash: `sha256(feature_name + scenario_name)[:8]` for consistency across runs
+- Execute Background steps in the scenario's schema context
+- Set `search_path` at the connection level, not globally
+
+---
+
+### Option 4: Database-per-Feature ⚠️
+
+Create a separate database for each feature file.
+
+```go
+BeforeFeature: CREATE DATABASE feature_auth;
+AfterFeature: DROP DATABASE feature_auth;
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Strong isolation between features
+- Simple implementation
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ **Doesn't isolate scenarios within a feature** - Background data shared across scenarios
+- Database creation is slower than schema creation
+- Harder to manage in CI (more databases to create/cleanup)
+- Still need table clearing between scenarios within a feature
+
+**Verdict: Insufficient** - Doesn't solve intra-feature pollution.
+
+---
+
+### Option 5: Schema-per-Feature + Table Clearing per Scenario ⚠️
+
+Create one schema per feature, clear tables between scenarios.
+
+```go
+BeforeFeature: CREATE SCHEMA feature_auth;
+AfterFeature: DROP SCHEMA feature_auth;
+AfterScenario: DELETE FROM all_tables;
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Isolates features from each other
+- Simpler than per-scenario schemas
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ **Scenarios within a feature share state** - Background data persists
+- Still has race conditions with concurrent scenarios in same feature
+- Requires table clearing overhead
+
+**Verdict: Better than current but still has issues**.
+
+---
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+**Chosen option: Schema-per-Scenario + In-Memory State Reset + Per-Scenario Step State (Option 3 Enhanced)**
+
+We will implement schema-per-scenario because it:
+
+1. Provides **true isolation** for all database state
+2. **Works with Gherkin Background** - Background runs in each scenario's schema
+3. **Handles concurrent execution** - No race conditions
+4. **Works with scenario transactions** - Scenarios can commit freely
+5. Is **fast** - Schema operations are cheap
+
+**However, we discovered a critical limitation:** PostgreSQL schemas only isolate **database tables**. In-memory state (application-level caches, user stores, JWT secret managers) **persists across scenarios** because they're stored in the shared `sharedServer` Go instance. Schema isolation does NOT solve this.
+
+### Enhanced Strategy: Multi-Layer Isolation
+
+To achieve **complete scenario isolation**, we need a **3-layer approach:**
+
+| Layer | Component | Strategy | Status |
+|-------|-----------|----------|--------|
+| DB | PostgreSQL tables | Schema-per-scenario | ✅ Implemented |
+| Memory | Server-level state (JWT secrets) | Reset to initial state | ✅ Implemented |
+| Memory | Step-level state (tokens, user IDs) | Per-scenario state map | ✅ Implemented |
+| Memory | User store | Reset/clear between scenarios | ⚠️ TODO |
+| Memory | Auth cache | Reset/clear between scenarios | ⚠️ TODO |
+| Cache | Redis/Memcached | Key prefix with schema hash | ⚠️ TODO |
+
+### Layer 3: Per-Scenario Step State Isolation
+
+**New insight from test failures:** Step definition structs (AuthSteps, GreetSteps, etc.) maintain state in their fields:
+- `lastToken`, `firstToken` in AuthSteps
+- `lastUserID` in AuthSteps
+
+This state **spills across scenarios** even with schema isolation, because struct fields are shared across all scenarios in a test process.
+
+**Solution:** Create a `ScenarioState` manager with per-scenario isolation:
+
+```go
+type ScenarioState struct {
+    LastToken  string
+    FirstToken string
+    LastUserID uint
+}
+
+type scenarioStateManager struct {
+    mu      sync.RWMutex
+    states  map[string]*ScenarioState  // keyed by scenario hash
+}
+
+// Usage in step definitions:
+func (s *AuthSteps) iShouldReceiveAValidJWTToken() error {
+    state := steps.GetScenarioState(s.scenarioName)
+    state.LastToken = extractedToken
+    // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Zero code changes to step definitions (with helper functions)
+- ✅ Thread-safe (sync.RWMutex)
+- ✅ Consistent state per scenario
+- ✅ Automatic cleanup via BeforeScenario/AfterScenario hooks
+- ✅ Works with random test order
+
+**Status:** Implemented in `pkg/bdd/steps/scenario_state.go`
+
+### Key Insight: Cache and In-Memory Store Isolation
+
+**For caches (Redis, Memcached, in-process):**
+- Use **schema hash as key prefix/suffix**: `cache_key_{schema_hash}` or `{schema_hash}_cache_key`
+- This ensures each scenario gets isolated cache namespace
+- Works even with external cache services
+- Consistent with schema isolation philosophy
+
+**For in-memory stores (user repository, etc.):**
+- Add `Reset()` methods that clear all state
+- Call in `AfterScenario` alongside schema teardown
+- Or use schema-prefix approach for shared stores
+
+### Alternative Approach: Background Explicit State Setup
+
+**Considered but rejected:** Adding explicit "Given no user X exists" steps or heavy Background sections.
+
+**Pros:** More readable, explicit about state
+**Cons:**
+- Error-prone (must remember for every entity)
+- Verbose (many Given steps)
+- Doesn't scale with many entities
+- Still has race conditions with concurrent scenarios
+
+**Verdict:** Automated cleanup (schema drop + memory reset) is more reliable than manual Background setup.
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+**Phase 1: Foundation (✅ Complete)**
+- Add scenario-aware schema management to test server
+- Implement schema creation/drop in BeforeScenario/AfterScenario hooks
+- Handle `search_path` configuration for each scenario's database connection
+
+**Phase 2: In-Memory State Reset (🟡 TODO)**
+- Add `ResetUsers()` method to clear in-memory user store
+- Add `ResetCache()` method for auth/rateLimiting caches
+- Call these in AfterScenario alongside JWT secret reset
+- **Cache key strategy**: `key_{schema_hash}` for all cache operations
+
+**Phase 3: Connection Pooling**
+- Configure connection pool to respect per-scenario `search_path`
+- Each scenario gets isolated connections
+
+**Phase 4: Validation**
+- Run full test suite to verify complete isolation
+- Fix any hardcoded `public` schema references
+
+### Schema Naming Convention
+
+```
+Schema name: test_{sha256(feature:scenario)[:8]}
+Cache key prefix: {sha256(feature:scenario)[:8]}_
+```
+
+Example:
+- Feature: `auth`, Scenario: `Successful user authentication`
+- Hash: `sha256("auth:Successful user authentication")[:8]` = `a3f7b2c1`
+- Schema: `test_a3f7b2c1`
+- Cache key: `a3f7b2c1_user:newuser` instead of just `user:newuser`
+
+Benefits:
+- Unique per scenario
+- Consistent across test runs (same scenario = same hash)
+- Short (8 chars) - efficient for cache keys
+- Identifiable for debugging
+
+### Schema Naming Convention
+
+```
+Schema name: test_{sha256(feature + scenario)[:8]}
+```
+
+Example:
+- Feature: `auth`, Scenario: `Successful user authentication`
+- Hash: `sha256("auth_Successful user authentication")[:8]` = `a3f7b2c1`
+- Schema: `test_a3f7b2c1`
+
+Benefits:
+- Unique per scenario
+- Consistent across test runs (same scenario = same schema)
+- Short (8 chars + prefix = 14 chars max)
+- Identifiable for debugging
+

+# ADR 0026: Composite Info Endpoint vs Separate Calls
+
+**Status:** Implemented (2026-05-05 — PR pending)
+
+## Context
+
+The application currently exposes several endpoints that provide system information:
+- `/api/version` - returns version, commit, build date, Go version (cached 60s)
+- `/api/health` - returns `{"status":"healthy"}` (simple liveness)
+- `/api/healthz` - returns rich health info: status, version, uptime_seconds, timestamp
+- `/api/ready` - returns readiness with connection details
+
+Frontend components like `HealthDashboard` currently call `/api/healthz` to display server info. However, there is a need for a **composite endpoint** that aggregates:
+1. Version information (from `/api/version`)
+2. Build metadata (commit hash, build date)
+3. Uptime information (from `/api/healthz`)
+4. Cache status (enabled/disabled)
+5. Health status
+
+This raises an architectural question: **Should we create a new composite `/api/info` endpoint, or should frontend components make multiple separate API calls?**
+
+### The Problem with Separate Calls
+
+If the frontend makes individual calls to `/api/version`, `/api/healthz`, and checks cache config separately:
+
+1. **Multiple network requests**: 3-4 HTTP round trips per page load
+2. **Inconsistent data**: Responses may come from different moments in time
+3. **No caching coordination**: Each endpoint has its own cache key and TTL
+4. **Complex frontend logic**: Need to merge data from multiple sources
+5. **Poor user experience**: Slower page loads, multiple loading states
+
+### Current State Analysis
+
+| Endpoint | Data Provided | Cache TTL | Use Case |
+|----------|---------------|-----------|----------|
+| `/api/version` | version, commit, built, go | 60s | Version info |
+| `/api/healthz` | status, version, uptime_seconds, timestamp | None | K8s probes, health dashboard |
+| `/api/health` | status: "healthy" | None | Simple liveness |
+| `/api/ready` | ready, connections, reason | None | Readiness probes |
+
+The `/api/healthz` endpoint already combines some data (status + version + uptime + timestamp), but it:
+- Doesn't include commit_short
+- Doesn't include build_date separately
+- Doesn't include cache_enabled
+- Is not cached
+- Has Kubernetes-specific field naming (`healthz`)
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Performance**: Minimize network round trips for frontend
+* **Consistency**: All data should reflect the same point-in-time
+* **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for system info
+* **Caching**: Reuse existing cache infrastructure (ADR-0022)
+* **API Design**: Follow REST principles and existing patterns
+* **Backward Compatibility**: Existing endpoints must remain unchanged
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1: Composite `/api/info` Endpoint (Chosen)
+
+Create a new endpoint that aggregates all required data in a single call.
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Single network request for frontend
+- ✅ Consistent point-in-time data
+- ✅ Can leverage existing cache infrastructure with key `info:json`
+- ✅ Follows existing pattern of `/api/version` caching
+- ✅ Clean API design - one endpoint, one purpose
+- ✅ Reduces frontend complexity
+- ✅ Better UX - faster page loads
+- ✅ Aligns with ADR-0022 cache strategy (reusable cache key pattern)
+
+**Cons:**
+- ⚠️ Duplicates some data from `/api/healthz` and `/api/version`
+- ⚠️ Requires new endpoint implementation
+- ⚠️ Need to maintain consistency if source endpoints change
+
+### Option 2: Frontend Aggregation with Multiple Calls
+
+Frontend makes separate calls to `/api/version`, `/api/healthz`, and introspects config.
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ No backend changes required
+- ✅ Uses existing endpoints
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Multiple network requests (3-4 round trips)
+- ❌ Inconsistent data timing
+- ❌ Complex error handling in frontend
+- ❌ Poor UX - multiple loading states, slower
+- ❌ Each endpoint has different caching behavior
+- ❌ Violates DRY - same data fetched multiple times
+
+### Option 3: Extend `/api/healthz` Endpoint
+
+Add `commit_short`, `build_date`, and `cache_enabled` fields to existing `/api/healthz`.
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Reuses existing endpoint
+- ✅ Single request
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Breaks backward compatibility (response schema change)
+- ❌ `/api/healthz` is Kubernetes-focused (naming convention)
+- ❌ Not cached currently
+- ❌ Mixes health probe concerns with version info
+- ❌ Violates single responsibility
+
+### Option 4: GraphQL / Query Parameters
+
+Allow clients to specify which fields they want via query parameters.
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Flexible - clients get exactly what they need
+- ✅ Single endpoint
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Overkill for this use case
+- ❌ Not consistent with existing REST API design
+- ❌ Complex implementation
+- ❌ Not aligned with project architecture (Chi router, REST style)
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+**Chosen: Option 1 - Composite `/api/info` Endpoint**
+
+We will implement a new `GET /api/info` endpoint that returns a JSON object with all required fields in a single call. This endpoint will:
+
+1. Aggregate data from existing sources (`version` package, `config`, server uptime)
+2. Be cached using the existing cache service with key `info:json`
+3. Use TTL from `config.cache.default_ttl_seconds` (consistent with ADR-0022)
+4. Return `X-Cache: HIT/MISS` headers for debugging
+5. Follow existing Go handler patterns from `pkg/server/server.go`
+
+### Response Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.4.0",
+  "commit_short": "a3f7b2c1",
+  "build_date": "2026-05-04T08:00:00Z",
+  "uptime_seconds": 1234,
+  "cache_enabled": true,
+  "healthz_status": "healthy",
+  "go_version": "go1.26.1"
+}
+```
+
+The `go_version` field provides the Go runtime version via `runtime.Version()`, useful for ops debugging (e.g., identifying which Go version is running in production).
+
+### Rationale
+
+1. **Performance**: Single HTTP request instead of 3-4 separate calls
+2. **Consistency**: All data reflects the same moment in time
+3. **Caching**: Leverages existing cache infrastructure (ADR-0022) with predictable key pattern
+4. **API Design**: Clean, RESTful endpoint with single responsibility
+5. **Maintainability**: Clear separation of concerns - info aggregation is a distinct use case
+6. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing endpoints remain unchanged
+7. **Frontend Simplicity**: Reduces complexity and improves UX
+
+### Cache Strategy
+
+Following ADR-0022 pattern:
+- Cache key: `info:json` (consistent with `version:format` pattern)
+- TTL: `config.cache.default_ttl_seconds` (default 300 seconds)
+- Cache service: `pkg/cache/cache.go` InMemoryService
+- Headers: `X-Cache: HIT` or `X-Cache: MISS`
+
+This allows the endpoint to be fast even under load, while maintaining data freshness.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Improved frontend performance**: Single request instead of multiple
+2. **Better UX**: Faster page loads, simpler loading states
+3. **Consistent data**: All fields reflect the same point-in-time
+4. **Cache efficiency**: Reuses existing cache infrastructure
+5. **Clean separation**: Info endpoint handles aggregation, source endpoints unchanged
+6. **Easy to test**: Single endpoint with predictable response
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Data duplication**: Some fields appear in multiple endpoints
+2. **Maintenance burden**: If source data changes, endpoint must be updated
+3. **New endpoint**: Increases API surface area (though minimal)
+
+### Mitigation
+
+1. Data duplication is acceptable - it's read-only system info
+2. Source the data from the same packages/functions used by other endpoints
+3. The new endpoint has a clear, focused purpose

+# 27. Ollama Tier 1 onboarding via meta-trainer-bootstrap
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-05
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Authors:** Gabriel Radureau, AI Agent (Claude Opus 4.7 Tier 3 inspector)
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The autonomous trainer day on 2026-05-05 validated that Mistral Vibe (cloud) can drive a complete PR lifecycle on this project: ICM workspace → phase-planner → implementation → verifier audit → PR open (cf. PR #54, Q-041 in `~/.vibe/memory/reference/mistral-quirks.md`). Two limitations remain:
+
+1. **Vendor risk** — every autonomous run consumes the Mistral cloud forfait. If the forfait runs out mid-month or the API is unavailable, autonomous capability is lost.
+2. **Sovereignty story** — ARCODANGE's stated direction (cf. `migration-claude-vers-mistral-phase-1.md`) is to reduce dependence on a single foreign vendor. The hardware exists locally (M4 128 GB) ; the missing link is wiring a local model into the same Tier 1 executor role Mistral plays today.
+
+The user-flagged candidate models (cf. `~/.vibe/memory/reference/ollama-candidate-models.md`) :
+
+* `nemotron-3-super`
+* `gemma4:31b`
+
+Both are large enough to plausibly handle the agentic coding role and small enough to fit in 128 GB RAM with headroom for tools. Neither has been tested under the ARCODANGE methodology (canary suite, ICM workspace traversal, verifier-skill discipline).
+
+The methodology to onboard a new Tier 1 already exists : the `meta-trainer-bootstrap` skill at `~/.vibe/skills/meta-trainer-bootstrap/`. It runs a 10-canary suite (C-001..C-010), copies + adapts the skill library to the new model's harness tool names, stands up a `<model>-quirks.md` baseline, and produces a Tier 3 audit report. It has been validated on Mistral itself (we are currently running the methodology Mistral-on-Mistral, which is unusual — the canary suite was originally written for a different model).
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Forfait insurance** — a working local Tier 1 means autonomous capability survives a Mistral outage / forfait exhaustion
+* **Sovereignty** — local execution removes the single-vendor dependency for the autonomous workflow
+* **Methodology validation** — `meta-trainer-bootstrap` has never been run on a fresh model in production, only smoke-tested ; this is its first real test
+* **Cost** — Ollama is local-only (no per-call price). The cost is the bootstrap effort + ongoing M4 power consumption.
+* **Model maturity** — both candidates are recent ; their agentic coding ability is empirical, not theoretical
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1: Bootstrap `nemotron-3-super` first, then `gemma4:31b`
+
+Run the canary suite on each, document quirks separately, decide based on canary pass rate and cost-per-task.
+
+* Good — comparative data, makes the choice empirical
+* Good — discovers any meta-trainer-bootstrap bugs early on the first attempt
+* Bad — doubles the bootstrap effort (~4-8 hours per model)
+* Bad — requires holding both models on disk (large)
+
+### Option 2: Bootstrap one model only, picked on prior reputation
+
+Pick one (e.g. `nemotron-3-super` per the user's explicit ordering in `ollama-candidate-models.md`) and commit. Skip the comparison.
+
+* Good — half the effort, ships faster
+* Bad — no fallback if the chosen model is unsuitable
+* Bad — anchors the methodology to one model's quirks before we know they generalise
+
+### Option 3: Defer until Mistral autonomous shows real strain
+
+Do nothing yet. Wait for forfait pressure or a Mistral outage to force the issue. Reactive instead of proactive.
+
+* Good — zero effort now
+* Bad — when the trigger fires, we are unprepared and the bootstrap is rushed
+* Bad — postpones validation of `meta-trainer-bootstrap` indefinitely
+
+### Option 4: Skip Ollama, evaluate a different vendor (Anthropic, OpenAI)
+
+Bring in a second cloud model as Tier 1 instead of going local.
+
+* Good — likely higher quality than 31B local
+* Bad — replaces vendor dependence with two-vendor dependence ; doesn't solve sovereignty
+* Bad — we already have Claude as Tier 3 inspector via Anthropic ; mixing roles complicates the methodology
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: **Option 2 — Bootstrap `nemotron-3-super` first**, deferring `gemma4:31b` to a follow-up ADR if `nemotron-3-super` underperforms or shows unfixable quirks.
+
+Rationale :
+- Forfait pressure is real but not immediate (~3.5% of monthly forfait spent on the heavy autonomous trainer day 2026-05-05) — we have time but should not procrastinate
+- Comparative testing (Option 1) is technically right but pragmatically slow for an unproven methodology
+- The user's explicit ordering signals their prior on which to try first ; respect it
+- If the canary suite fails substantially on `nemotron-3-super`, we pivot to `gemma4:31b` with the lessons (and per-model quirks file) from the first attempt — net learning either way
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. **Pre-flight** — verify `ollama` is installed, the model is pulled (`ollama pull nemotron-3-super`), and the M4 has enough free RAM (model size + ~16 GB headroom for tools).
+2. **Run `meta-trainer-bootstrap` skill** — pointing `TARGET_MODEL_ID=nemotron-3-super`, `TARGET_HARNESS=ollama run nemotron-3-super`, `TARGET_PROJECT_ROOT=<a fresh clone or worktree>`. Budget : 5 EUR-equivalent of Mistral Tier-2 orchestration cost + 2-4 hours of trainer attention.
+3. **Canary suite** — run C-001..C-010 ; record each result in `~/.vibe/memory/reference/nemotron-3-super-quirks.md` as `Q-101..Q-110` (the `Q-001..Q-099` range is reserved for the legacy Mistral baseline).
+4. **Skill library adaptation** — for each ARCODANGE skill currently relying on Mistral-specific tool names (`read_file`, `write_file`, etc.), adapt to whatever Ollama exposes. Document deltas.
+5. **Smoke test** — run a single small task end-to-end on a low-risk project. Use the ICM workspace pattern. Verify worktree isolation (Q-038 fix) still applies.
+6. **Tier 3 report** — produce `bootstrap-report.md` for Claude inspector review. Include canary pass rate, key quirks, KPI baseline numbers, open friction points.
+7. **Decision gate** — based on the report, either (a) promote `nemotron-3-super` to production Tier 1 and update `~/.vibe/config.toml` accordingly, (b) try `gemma4:31b` as a follow-up, or (c) escalate to Tier 3 for a strategic pivot.
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+### Option 1 (Bootstrap both)
+
+* Good — comparative data
+* Good — early bug detection on the methodology
+* Bad — double effort
+* Bad — no clear way to choose without significant additional time investment for the second model
+
+### Option 2 (Chosen — `nemotron-3-super` first)
+
+* Good — concrete forward motion
+* Good — methodology gets its first real test
+* Good — `meta-trainer-bootstrap` skill validated end-to-end (currently only smoke-tested)
+* Bad — risk of picking the wrong model and wasting the bootstrap effort
+* Mitigation: per-model quirks files mean the second attempt is cheaper (skill adaptations transfer)
+
+### Option 3 (Defer)
+
+* Good — zero effort
+* Bad — reactive, increases risk under outage scenarios
+
+### Option 4 (Different vendor)
+
+* Good — likely higher quality
+* Bad — does not solve sovereignty
+* Bad — methodology already has Claude as Tier 3 ; another Anthropic-family model in Tier 1 conflates roles
+
+## Consequences
+
+* `meta-trainer-bootstrap` skill is exercised end-to-end for the first time. Discoveries during this run will likely produce Q-042+ entries in `mistral-quirks.md` and a separate `nemotron-3-super-quirks.md`.
+* `~/.vibe/config.toml` may need a new model alias (e.g. `local-nemotron`) configured for testing without affecting the production `mistral-vibe-cli-latest` default.
+* If successful, the next ADR (0028 or higher) will document the production switch (or split, e.g. routine tasks → local, complex tasks → cloud).
+* Forfait usage from this bootstrap : Tier 2 Mistral orchestration only ; Tier 1 Ollama runs are free at the API level.

+# 28. Passwordless authentication: magic link → OpenID Connect
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-05
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Authors:** Gabriel Radureau, AI Agent
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+ADR-0018 (now Implemented) shipped a username + password authentication system with bcrypt hashing, JWT tokens, admin master password, and admin-assisted password reset. It works, but it carries the cost-of-passwords : we store password hashes, support password reset flows, and maintain a credential-rotation policy. Users hate passwords ; ops and security pay for them.
+
+Two industry-standard alternatives exist :
+1. **Magic link by email** — user enters their email, receives a one-time token in a clickable link, link consumes the token and issues a session JWT. No password stored.
+2. **OpenID Connect Authorization Code flow** — delegate authentication to an external Identity Provider (e.g. Authelia, Keycloak, Auth0, Google) ; our app receives an `id_token` after the OIDC dance.
+
+We want to **migrate to passwordless** for new sign-ups while keeping the existing username/password code path operational during the transition (no flag-day breakage). The two passwordless mechanisms above complement each other : magic link is simpler for first-party users on day 1 ; OIDC is the right answer for second-party users (other ARCODANGE products, partner integrations) and for admin SSO.
+
+A third constraint : ARCODANGE local development must use HTTPS for OAuth callbacks to be valid (most OIDC providers reject `http://localhost` redirect URIs in their default config). `mkcert` is the canonical local-CA tool for this.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Reduce password-related attack surface** — no hash storage, no breach-and-reuse risk, no password reset abuse vectors
+* **User experience** — passwordless is faster for the user (1 click in email vs typing/remembering password)
+* **Operational simplicity** — no password reset flow to maintain ; the password-reset code can be removed once migration is complete
+* **Multi-product readiness** — OIDC is the prerequisite for cross-product SSO across the ARCODANGE portfolio
+* **Backwards compatibility** — must not break existing tokens or BDD scenarios mid-migration
+* **Local dev parity** — HTTPS in dev so OAuth flows can be tested locally without provider-specific workarounds
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1 (Chosen): Sequenced — magic link first, OIDC second
+
+Deliver in two phases :
+
+* **Phase A — Magic link**
+  - Add `POST /api/v1/auth/magic-link/request` (body: `{email}`) — generates token, stores it (TTL ~15 min), sends email via SMTP
+  - Add `GET /api/v1/auth/magic-link/consume?token=<...>` — single-use consumption, issues a JWT, returns it as cookie + JSON body
+  - Reuse the existing JWT issuance + secret retention infrastructure (ADR-0021)
+  - Existing `/api/v1/auth/login` (username/password) stays operational during transition
+
+* **Phase B — OpenID Connect Authorization Code with PKCE**
+  - Add `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/start` — generates state + PKCE verifier, redirects to provider's `authorization_endpoint`
+  - Add `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/callback` — exchanges code for tokens, validates `id_token` signature against provider's JWKS, issues internal JWT
+  - Provider URL configurable per environment (`auth.oidc.issuer_url`, `auth.oidc.client_id`, `auth.oidc.client_secret`)
+  - Allow multiple providers in config (key by provider name, e.g. `arcodange-sso`)
+  - Local dev requires HTTPS — `mkcert` setup documented in `documentation/DEV_SETUP.md`
+
+* **Phase C (later, separate ADR) — Decommission password auth**
+  - Once all users have migrated, remove the password endpoints, remove the password_hash column, mark ADR-0018 as Superseded by this ADR
+
+### Option 2: All-at-once OIDC, no magic link
+
+Skip magic link, jump straight to OIDC.
+
+* Good — single migration, no intermediate state
+* Bad — requires an OIDC provider operational on day 1, which we don't have configured
+* Bad — magic link has zero infra dependencies (just SMTP) ; OIDC requires running an IdP or paying for one
+
+### Option 3: Magic link only, no OIDC
+
+Stop at Phase A.
+
+* Good — simplest implementation
+* Bad — doesn't solve cross-product SSO ; we'd re-do this work later for the broader ARCODANGE portfolio
+
+### Option 4: Status quo (do nothing)
+
+Keep username + password.
+
+* Good — zero effort
+* Bad — passwords stay forever ; ARCODANGE locks itself out of integration scenarios that expect OIDC
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option : **Option 1, sequenced magic link → OIDC**.
+
+Rationale :
+- Magic link is implementable today with zero infra dependencies beyond the email infrastructure (ADR-0029)
+- OIDC requires running an IdP locally (Authelia or Keycloak) — that's another container in the dev stack and another ADR's worth of decision work, but the magic-link work is the natural prerequisite (token-by-email plumbing is reused)
+- Sequenced delivery means we never have to roll back : Phase A works alone, Phase B layers on top, Phase C cleans up
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase A — Magic link (target: 2-3 PRs)
+
+1. **A.1 — Storage** : add a `magic_link_tokens` table (id, email, token_hash, expires_at, consumed_at). Repository pattern alongside `pkg/user/postgres_repository.go`.
+2. **A.2 — Token endpoint** : `POST /api/v1/auth/magic-link/request` generates a token, stores it (hashed), enqueues an email send. Rate-limited (cf. ADR-0022) by email address.
+3. **A.3 — Consume endpoint** : `GET /api/v1/auth/magic-link/consume?token=...` validates + marks consumed + issues JWT. Returns `Set-Cookie` and `{token: jwt}` body.
+4. **A.4 — Sign-up via magic link** : if the email is unknown, the consume endpoint creates the user record. (No separate "sign-up" flow needed — first magic link IS the sign-up.)
+5. **A.5 — BDD coverage** : scenarios for happy path, expired token, double-consume, wrong-email, rate-limit. Cf. ADR-0030 for the email assertion strategy.
+
+### Phase B — OIDC Code flow with PKCE (target: 3-4 PRs)
+
+1. **B.1 — Local IdP** : choose Authelia or Keycloak for local development. Add to `docker-compose.yml` with default test configuration.
+2. **B.2 — mkcert** : document local HTTPS setup in `documentation/DEV_SETUP.md`, add `make cert` target.
+3. **B.3 — OIDC client** : `pkg/auth/oidc.go` — discovery, JWKS cache, code exchange with PKCE.
+4. **B.4 — Endpoints** : `/oidc/start` and `/oidc/callback`.
+5. **B.5 — Provider config** : `auth.oidc.providers` map in config (cf. ADR-0006 Viper) ; multi-provider supported.
+6. **B.6 — BDD coverage** : end-to-end scenarios using a mock OIDC server (or the local Authelia instance with deterministic users).
+
+### Phase C — Decommission password (separate ADR after A+B in production)
+
+Out of scope for this ADR. Will be ADR-NNNN when migration is complete.
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+### Option 1 (Chosen — Sequenced)
+
+* Good — incremental, no flag day, each phase shippable on its own
+* Good — reuses existing JWT infrastructure (ADR-0021 secret retention)
+* Good — magic link work is a prerequisite for OIDC anyway (email plumbing, mkcert)
+* Bad — total work spans 2 sprints, longer time-to-OIDC than Option 2
+* Mitigation: after Phase A, the team can stop if priorities shift — magic link alone is a complete improvement
+
+### Option 2 (All OIDC)
+
+* Good — single migration
+* Bad — requires IdP operational from day 1
+* Bad — local dev environment more complex than necessary for the magic link case
+
+### Option 3 (Magic link only)
+
+* Good — minimal scope
+* Bad — re-work later for SSO
+
+### Option 4 (Status quo)
+
+* Good — zero effort
+* Bad — accumulating tech debt
+
+## Consequences
+
+* `pkg/auth/` package created (currently auth code lives in `pkg/user/`) — separation is now justified by the multi-mechanism scope
+* `pkg/user/api/auth_handler.go` continues to serve username/password during transition (Phase A and B), removed in Phase C
+* `documentation/DEV_SETUP.md` becomes a load-bearing doc for new contributors (mkcert + docker-compose with mailpit + Authelia)
+* The 4 new endpoints (`magic-link/request`, `magic-link/consume`, `oidc/start`, `oidc/callback`) require their own ADR entries in the API doc + Swagger annotations
+* Phase A's magic link plumbing depends on **ADR-0029** (email infrastructure decision) — that ADR ships first
+* BDD scenarios for Phase A depend on **ADR-0030** (email testing strategy with parallel BDD) — that ADR ships before any Phase A scenario lands

+# 29. Email infrastructure: Mailpit local + production deferred
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-05
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Authors:** Gabriel Radureau, AI Agent
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+ADR-0028 (passwordless auth) requires the application to send emails — magic-link tokens specifically. Email is a substrate decision : the choice of SMTP provider, the abstraction in code, and the local development experience all depend on it.
+
+Two separate concerns :
+
+1. **Local development + BDD tests** : we need a local SMTP receiver that captures emails and exposes them for inspection. Real email providers (Gmail, SES, SendGrid) are unsuitable for local dev — they cost money, leak test data, and rate-limit aggressively.
+2. **Production** : the application needs to actually deliver mail to user inboxes. This decision is deferred — see "Out of scope" below.
+
+ARCODANGE already has the **Mailpit** docker image pulled locally (`axllent/mailpit:latest`, 51 MB). Mailpit captures SMTP submissions on a port, stores them in-memory, exposes them via HTTP UI (default :8025) and an HTTP API (`/api/v1/messages`). It's the de-facto choice for Go projects needing local SMTP capture.
+
+The application code needs to be **provider-agnostic** : a `pkg/email` package with a `Sender` interface, a Mailpit-compatible SMTP implementation, and a contract that production can swap for a real provider's adapter without changing call sites.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **Local dev and CI must work without internet** — emails should never leave the docker network in tests
+* **Test inspection must be programmatic** — BDD tests assert on email content, not just "an email was sent"
+* **Production decision deferred** — we don't know the volume / SLA / compliance requirements yet ; over-committing now is premature
+* **Provider portability** — `pkg/email` interface lets us swap implementations without touching auth code
+* **Cost** — Mailpit is free, runs in a container, no API quota concerns
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1 (Chosen): Mailpit for local + tests, production via a production-grade provider TBD
+
+* Add Mailpit to `docker-compose.yml` (SMTP :1025, HTTP API :8025)
+* `pkg/email` package with a `Sender` interface
+* Default implementation : `SMTPSender` configured against the local Mailpit in dev/CI
+* Tests query Mailpit's HTTP API to inspect captured messages
+* Production deployment will add a separate `pkg/email/<provider>_sender.go` implementing the same interface — that decision is its own ADR
+
+### Option 2: MailHog instead of Mailpit
+
+MailHog is the older, well-known alternative. Mailpit is its modern successor, written in Go, with a richer API and active maintenance.
+
+* Bad — abandoned upstream (last commit 2020). Mailpit is the natural replacement.
+
+### Option 3: In-process mock email sender
+
+Write a `MockSender` that captures emails in a Go slice. No SMTP at all.
+
+* Good — fastest tests, zero infra
+* Bad — doesn't validate the actual SMTP wire format, the From/To/Subject headers, the encoding of multi-byte content, or the DKIM/Reply-To setup
+* Bad — doesn't double as a manual-inspection tool for the developer (no UI to look at the email)
+
+### Option 4: Send to a real but throwaway provider (Mailtrap, Mailosaur)
+
+External services that capture-and-display emails.
+
+* Good — production-similar paths
+* Bad — costs money, requires an account, leaks test data, doesn't work offline
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option : **Option 1 — Mailpit for local + tests, production deferred**.
+
+Rationale :
+- Mailpit is the modern, maintained successor to MailHog ; image is already on the dev machine
+- The interface-first design (`pkg/email.Sender`) means production swap is a future ADR, not a refactor
+- BDD tests have a real wire-format path to assert on (cf. ADR-0030)
+- Zero monthly cost in dev/CI
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. **`pkg/email/sender.go`** — define the `Sender` interface :
+   ```go
+   type Sender interface {
+       Send(ctx context.Context, msg Message) error
+   }
+   type Message struct {
+       To      string
+       From    string
+       Subject string
+       BodyText string
+       BodyHTML string
+       Headers  map[string]string // for trace correlation, e.g. X-Test-Scenario-ID
+   }
+   ```
+2. **`pkg/email/smtp_sender.go`** — implementation using `net/smtp` (stdlib) configured by `auth.email.smtp_host`, `smtp_port`, `smtp_username`, `smtp_password`, `smtp_use_tls`. For Mailpit defaults : `smtp_host=localhost smtp_port=1025 smtp_use_tls=false`.
+3. **`pkg/email/sender_test.go`** — unit tests using `httptest`-style fake SMTP, plus a `*_integration_test.go` (build tag `integration`) hitting the live Mailpit.
+4. **`docker-compose.yml`** — add the `mailpit` service :
+   ```yaml
+   mailpit:
+     image: axllent/mailpit:latest
+     ports:
+       - "1025:1025"  # SMTP
+       - "8025:8025"  # HTTP UI / API
+     environment:
+       MP_MAX_MESSAGES: 5000
+   ```
+5. **`pkg/config/config.go`** — add the `auth.email.*` config keys with defaults pointing at local Mailpit.
+6. **Documentation** : `documentation/EMAIL.md` covering local setup, message inspection via UI (http://localhost:8025), API queries.
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+### Option 1 (Chosen — Mailpit)
+
+* Good — already locally available, free, modern, maintained
+* Good — provider-agnostic interface decouples from prod choice
+* Good — full SMTP wire format = realistic test path
+* Good — UI for manual inspection during dev
+* Bad — requires Mailpit running (one more docker-compose service)
+* Bad — production decision still pending
+
+### Option 2 (MailHog)
+
+* Bad — unmaintained, choosing it would create immediate tech debt
+
+### Option 3 (Mock only)
+
+* Bad — too much abstraction loss, can't catch wire-level bugs
+
+### Option 4 (Mailtrap / Mailosaur)
+
+* Bad — cost, network dependency, account management
+
+## Consequences
+
+* New service in `docker-compose.yml` — developers run `docker compose up -d` once and Mailpit is on
+* New `pkg/email` package — auth code (ADR-0028 magic link) calls `Sender.Send()` rather than direct SMTP
+* New `auth.email.*` config keys, new env vars (`DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST` etc.)
+* Mailpit's HTTP API becomes part of the BDD test contract — tests use it to assert messages were sent (cf. ADR-0030)
+* Production sender ADR (TBD) will be a separate decision — this ADR explicitly does NOT pick a vendor for prod
+
+## Out of scope
+
+* **Production email provider selection** — separate ADR when we know volume / SLA / compliance constraints. Likely candidates: AWS SES, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailjet. Magic-link emails are transactional + low-volume — most providers handle that easily.
+* **DKIM/SPF/DMARC setup** — production deliverability concern, not a local-dev concern
+* **HTML email templating** — we'll start with plain-text emails ; HTML can be added with a template package (e.g. `html/template`) when ARCODANGE branding requires it

+# 30. BDD email assertions with parallel test execution
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-05
+**Status:** Proposed
+**Authors:** Gabriel Radureau, AI Agent
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+ADR-0028 introduces magic-link auth, which requires the application to send emails. ADR-0029 chose **Mailpit** as the local SMTP receiver for dev and BDD tests. The remaining decision : **how do BDD scenarios assert on the email content while running in parallel ?**
+
+Today (since [PR #35](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach/pulls/35)), the BDD suite runs in parallel via per-package PostgreSQL schema isolation (cf. [ADR-0025](0025-bdd-scenario-isolation-strategies.md)). Each Go test package has its own schema ; tests inside a package run serially within that schema. This works because Postgres has named schemas with strong isolation. **Mailpit has no equivalent** — there is one inbox per Mailpit instance, shared across all senders.
+
+A naive integration would have parallel scenarios fight over each other's emails :
+- Scenario A : "request magic link for `test@example.com`" → email arrives
+- Scenario B (in parallel) : "request magic link for `test@example.com`" → email arrives
+- Both scenarios query Mailpit for `test@example.com` — they see each other's messages, assertions become flaky.
+
+We need a way to scope each scenario's emails so it only sees its own messages.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* **No regression on parallelism** — BDD-isolation Phase 3 (PR #35) achieved a 2.85x speedup ; the email-assertion solution must not undo that
+* **No new container per test** — running one Mailpit per scenario would defeat the simplicity that made us choose Mailpit
+* **Determinism** — a scenario's email assertions must succeed regardless of how many other scenarios are running
+* **Realistic SMTP path** — we still want the full SMTP wire format exercised (cf. ADR-0029) ; we don't want to bypass Mailpit
+* **Cleanup hygiene** — old messages from previous test runs must not leak into a new run
+
+## Considered Options
+
+### Option 1 (Chosen): Per-test recipient scoping with deterministic addresses
+
+Each BDD scenario generates a unique email address for its test user, derived from the scenario key + a random suffix. Examples :
+
+- Scenario `magic-link-happy-path` → `magic-link-happy-path-<8hex>@bdd.local`
+- Scenario `magic-link-expired-token` → `magic-link-expired-token-<8hex>@bdd.local`
+
+The application code accepts any email format. The BDD scenario asserts on Mailpit's HTTP API filtering by the `to` address. Two parallel scenarios with different addresses can NEVER see each other's emails.
+
+**Cleanup** : at the start of each scenario, the BDD framework calls `DELETE /api/v1/search?query=to:<scenario-address>` on Mailpit to purge any leftover messages from prior runs.
+
+### Option 2: One Mailpit instance per Go test package
+
+Spawn a fresh Mailpit container in `TestMain` of each `features/<area>/` package. Each gets its own port range.
+
+* Good — strong isolation
+* Bad — heavyweight (one container per package = 5+ containers running)
+* Bad — port allocation complexity (similar to existing `pkg/bdd/parallel/port_manager.go`, but applied to Mailpit)
+* Bad — slow startup (Mailpit boot is ~200ms but adds up)
+
+### Option 3: One Mailpit instance, scenario-scoped via custom SMTP header
+
+Add a custom header `X-BDD-Scenario-ID: <key>` to outgoing emails. Tests query Mailpit filtered on that header.
+
+* Good — same single Mailpit
+* Bad — requires the application code to know the scenario ID at email-send time, which means a test-only path in production code
+* Bad — header propagation is fragile (gets stripped by some SMTP relays — not Mailpit, but real production providers might) ; we don't want a different code path between dev and prod
+
+### Option 4: Sequence parallel scenarios via per-scenario Mailpit lock
+
+Use a mutex / queue so no two scenarios that send email run concurrently.
+
+* Good — minimal code change
+* Bad — gives up the parallel speedup for any feature that involves email — that's most auth-related features going forward
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option : **Option 1 — per-test recipient scoping**.
+
+Rationale :
+- Recipient scoping is the simplest abstraction : the address IS the identity ; Mailpit's HTTP API natively supports filtering by recipient
+- Application code stays clean : it just sends to whatever address it's given. No test-mode branching.
+- Parallel-safe by construction : two scenarios cannot collide if they don't share an address
+- Cheap to implement : a few helper functions in `pkg/bdd/steps/email_steps.go` and a `mailpit.Client` package wrapping the HTTP API
+- Cleanup is per-scenario, not global — no "delete all messages" race between scenarios
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Helper package : `pkg/bdd/mailpit/client.go`
+
+```go
+type Client struct {
+    BaseURL string  // default: http://localhost:8025
+    HTTP    *http.Client
+}
+
+// AwaitMessageTo polls Mailpit's HTTP API for a message addressed
+// to the given recipient, with a deadline. Returns the most recent
+// matching message or an error on timeout.
+func (c *Client) AwaitMessageTo(ctx context.Context, to string, timeout time.Duration) (*Message, error)
+
+// PurgeMessagesTo removes all messages addressed to the given
+// recipient. Idempotent and parallel-safe.
+func (c *Client) PurgeMessagesTo(ctx context.Context, to string) error
+
+type Message struct {
+    ID       string
+    From     string
+    To       []string
+    Subject  string
+    Text     string
+    HTML     string
+    Headers  map[string][]string
+}
+```
+
+### Helper steps : `pkg/bdd/steps/email_steps.go`
+
+```go
+func (s *EmailSteps) iHaveAnEmailAddressForThisScenario() error
+// Generates `<scenario-key>-<8hex>@bdd.local`, stores it in the scenario state.
+
+func (s *EmailSteps) iShouldReceiveAnEmailWithSubject(subject string) error
+// Polls AwaitMessageTo on the scenario's address, asserts subject equality.
+
+func (s *EmailSteps) theEmailShouldContain(snippet string) error
+// Re-fetches the most recent message and checks for substring in body.
+
+func (s *EmailSteps) theEmailContainsAMagicLinkToken() (string, error)
+// Extracts the token from the magic-link URL via regex, returns it.
+```
+
+### Scenario lifecycle
+
+- **Before each scenario** : `iHaveAnEmailAddressForThisScenario` is called (either explicitly via Background, or implicitly via a hook). The unique address is stored in the scenario's state. PurgeMessagesTo is called to clear any leftovers from prior runs of the same address (defensive — should be impossible since the suffix is random, but cheap).
+- **During the scenario** : the application sends to that address. Tests query for it.
+- **After each scenario** : no global cleanup needed — addresses are per-scenario unique, so they don't accumulate beyond Mailpit's `MP_MAX_MESSAGES=5000` cap.
+
+### Race-free deletion
+
+Mailpit's `DELETE /api/v1/search?query=to:<addr>` is atomic per recipient. Two concurrent scenarios with different addresses cannot interfere.
+
+### Sample scenario (auth-magic-link.feature)
+
+```gherkin
+@critical @magic-link
+Scenario: User receives a magic link by email
+  Given I have an email address for this scenario
+  When I request a magic link for my email address
+  Then I should receive an email with subject "Your magic link"
+  And the email contains a magic link token
+  When I consume the magic link token
+  Then I should receive a JWT
+```
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+### Option 1 (Chosen)
+
+* Good — parallel-safe by construction
+* Good — application code unchanged ; test-only logic stays in the BDD layer
+* Good — Mailpit API supports the filter natively
+* Good — cleanup is fine-grained, no race
+* Bad — requires cooperative scenarios (each must request a unique address)
+* Mitigation : Background steps in feature files make it automatic
+
+### Option 2 (Mailpit per package)
+
+* Bad — operational complexity not justified for the test-only concern
+
+### Option 3 (Custom header scoping)
+
+* Bad — production code dirtied by test concerns
+
+### Option 4 (Lock-and-sequence)
+
+* Bad — gives up parallelism (the whole point of PR #35 + ADR-0025)
+
+## Consequences
+
+* `pkg/bdd/mailpit/` package is created with HTTP client + helper types
+* `pkg/bdd/steps/email_steps.go` package is created and registered in `steps.go`
+* `features/auth/` and any other email-using features have new BDD steps available
+* The local development docker-compose must run Mailpit before BDD tests run — to be added to the BDD test runner script `scripts/run-bdd-tests.sh`
+* Mailpit message TTL is governed by `MP_MAX_MESSAGES` (5000) — at parallel BDD volumes, that's enough headroom for ~50 scenarios × 100 messages each before any pruning kicks in
+
+## Out of scope
+
+* **Visual regression on email rendering** — text body assertions only ; HTML rendering checks belong in a separate Storybook-style harness
+* **Attachment handling** — magic-link emails are text-only ; ADRs for attachments will come if/when needed
+* **Email volume / rate-limit testing** — that's a load-test concern, not a BDD concern

+# BDD Implementation Plan - Iterative Approach
+
+Based on ADR 0024: BDD Test Organization and Isolation Strategy
+
+## Phase 1: Refactor Current Tests (1-2 weeks)
+
+### Objective: Split monolithic feature files into modular, isolated components
+
+### Tasks:
+1. **Split feature files by business domain**
+   - Create `features/auth/` directory
+   - Create `features/config/` directory  
+   - Create `features/greet/` directory
+   - Create `features/health/` directory
+   - Create `features/jwt/` directory
+
+2. **Implement feature-specific isolation**
+   - Add config file patterns: `features/{domain}/{domain}-test-config.yaml`
+   - Implement database naming: `dance_lessons_coach_{domain}_test`
+   - Assign unique ports per feature group
+
+3. **Create feature-specific test scripts**
+   - Implement `scripts/test-feature.sh` with feature parameter
+   - Add environment setup/teardown logic
+   - Implement resource cleanup routines
+
+### Deliverables:
+- ✅ Modular feature directory structure
+- ✅ Feature-specific configuration files
+- ✅ Basic isolation mechanisms
+- ✅ Feature-level test scripts
+
+## Phase 2: Enhance Test Infrastructure (2-3 weeks)
+
+### Objective: Add synchronization and lifecycle management
+
+### Tasks:
+1. **Implement synchronization helpers**
+   - Add `waitForServerReady()` with timeout
+   - Add `waitForConfigReload()` with event-based detection
+   - Add `waitForCondition()` helper function
+
+2. **Add Godog context management**
+   - Create feature-specific context structs
+   - Implement `InitializeFeatureSuite()`
+   - Implement `CleanupFeatureSuite()`
+
+3. **Add tag-based test selection**
+   - Implement `@smoke`, `@auth`, `@config` tags
+   - Add tag filtering to test scripts
+   - Document tag usage in README
+
+### Deliverables:
+- ✅ Robust synchronization mechanisms
+- ✅ Proper context lifecycle management
+- ✅ Tag-based test execution
+- ✅ Improved test reliability
+
+## Phase 3: Parallel Testing (Optional - 1 week)
+
+### Objective: Enable safe parallel test execution
+
+### Tasks:
+1. **Implement port management**
+   - Add port allocation system
+   - Implement port conflict detection
+   - Add parallel execution flags
+
+2. **Add resource monitoring**
+   - Implement resource usage tracking
+   - Add timeout detection
+   - Implement cleanup on failure
+
+3. **Update CI/CD pipeline**
+   - Add parallel test execution
+   - Implement resource limits
+   - Add test isolation validation
+
+### Deliverables:
+- ✅ Parallel test execution capability
+- ✅ Resource monitoring and limits
+- ✅ Updated CI/CD configuration
+
+## Implementation Timeline
+
+### Week 1-2: Phase 1 - Test Refactoring
+- Day 1-2: Create feature directory structure
+- Day 3-4: Implement feature-specific configs
+- Day 5-7: Create test scripts and isolation
+- Day 8-10: Test and validate refactoring
+
+### Week 3-5: Phase 2 - Infrastructure Enhancement
+- Day 11-12: Add synchronization helpers
+- Day 13-14: Implement context management
+- Day 15-17: Add tag-based selection
+- Day 18-21: Test and validate infrastructure
+
+### Week 6: Phase 3 - Parallel Testing (Optional)
+- Day 22-24: Implement port management
+- Day 25-26: Add resource monitoring
+- Day 27-28: Update CI/CD pipeline
+- Day 29-30: Test and validate parallel execution
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+### Phase 1 Success:
+- ✅ All tests pass in new structure
+- ✅ Feature isolation working correctly
+- ✅ Test scripts functional
+- ✅ No regression in test coverage
+
+### Phase 2 Success:
+- ✅ Synchronization working reliably
+- ✅ Context management implemented
+- ✅ Tag filtering operational
+- ✅ Test reliability >95%
+
+### Phase 3 Success:
+- ✅ Parallel tests execute safely
+- ✅ Resource usage within limits
+- ✅ CI/CD pipeline updated
+- ✅ Test execution time reduced
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+### Phase 1 Risks:
+- **Test failures during refactoring**: Maintain old structure until new is validated
+- **Isolation issues**: Implement gradual rollout with validation
+
+### Phase 2 Risks:
+- **Synchronization complexity**: Start with simple timeouts, enhance gradually
+- **Context management bugs**: Add comprehensive logging and debugging
+
+### Phase 3 Risks:
+- **Resource conflicts**: Implement strict resource limits and monitoring
+- **CI/CD instability**: Test parallel execution locally before pipeline update
+
+## Monitoring and Validation
+
+### Phase 1 Validation:
+```bash
+# Test each feature independently
+./scripts/test-feature.sh auth
+./scripts/test-feature.sh config
+./scripts/test-feature.sh greet
+
+# Verify isolation
+./scripts/validate-isolation.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 2 Validation:
+```bash
+# Test synchronization
+./scripts/test-synchronization.sh
+
+# Test tag filtering
+godog --tags=@smoke features/
+
+# Test context management
+./scripts/test-context-lifecycle.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 3 Validation:
+```bash
+# Test parallel execution
+./scripts/test-all-features-parallel.sh
+
+# Monitor resource usage
+./scripts/monitor-test-resources.sh
+
+# Validate CI/CD changes
+./scripts/validate-ci-cd.sh
+```
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+### Phase 1 Rollback:
+```bash
+# Revert to original structure
+git checkout HEAD~1 -- features/
+
+# Restore original test scripts
+git checkout HEAD~1 -- scripts/test-*.sh
+```
+
+### Phase 2 Rollback:
+```bash
+# Remove synchronization helpers
+git checkout HEAD~1 -- pkg/bdd/helpers/
+
+# Restore original context management
+git checkout HEAD~1 -- pkg/bdd/context/
+```
+
+### Phase 3 Rollback:
+```bash
+# Disable parallel execution
+sed -i 's/parallel=true/parallel=false/' scripts/test-all-features-parallel.sh
+
+# Revert CI/CD changes
+git checkout HEAD~1 -- .github/workflows/
+```

+
+## How it works (high-level)
+
+The Mistral Vibe autonomous multi-process pattern compresses sprint-level throughput into a single day by parallelizing independent work streams.
+
+One task equals one isolated git worktree created via `git worktree add`. Each worktree branches from current `origin/main`, eliminating race conditions that previously plagued the harness (Q-038 fix via pre-fetched origin).
+
+One worker equals one `vibe -p` invocation reading a `CONTEXT.md` brief. The worker executes the full PR lifecycle end-to-end: code implementation, build and test, commit with conventions, push to remote, PR creation via Gitea API, and merge attempt. Multiple workers (typically 2-4) run concurrently in separate worktrees, each working on different files and features.
+
+A `dispatch-batch.sh` script orchestrates the parallel workers and handles cross-worker dependencies. For the rare gaps — price-cap restrictions, broken tests, or ambiguous requirements — a trainer takeover (~5% of cases, typically within 5 minutes) covers the edge cases without blocking the batch.
+
+See [documentation/MISTRAL-AUTONOMOUS-PATTERN.md](MISTRAL-AUTONOMOUS-PATTERN.md) for the complete pattern specification.
+
+---
+
+## Numbers
+
+- **23 PRs** Mistral autonomously merged to main in one calendar day
+- **95-100% autonomy** per batch; trainer takeover only for Q-058 and Q-062 edge cases
+- **Wall-clock parallel**: ~2 minutes for 2 PRs in a concurrent batch (vs ~3-4 minutes serial)
+- **Cost**: ~$0.50-1.50 per simple PR (documentation, minor changes), ~$2-3 per code-heavy PR (complex logic, multiple files)
+
+---
+
+## Why this matters
+
+The pattern compresses a sprint of work into a single day, shifting the operator role from execution to supervision. ADR-0028 (the passwordless auth migration) was essentially completed in this single session — Phase A (magic-link) fully shipped, Phase B (OIDC) advanced through B.4, with only Phase B.5 (BDD scenarios) remaining.

+# 2026-05-06 Autonomous Session Recap (morning)
+
+On 2026-05-06 morning, ARCODANGE used the Mistral Vibe autonomous multi-process pattern to ship 8 PRs in ~30 min, advancing both the deployment story and the middleware code review action items raised by the user the night before. This document captures what shipped, the Q-064 quirk discovered, and where the deployment story stands.
+
+---
+
+## What shipped
+
+PRs merged to main on 2026-05-06 morning :
+
+| # | Title | Theme |
+|---|-------|-------|
+| #87 | docs : cherry-pick 6 focused guides from PR #17 | Documentation |
+| #88 | fix(security) : redact JWT tokens and HMAC secrets in trace logs | Security |
+| #89 | feat(deploy) : Dockerfile + Helm chart for k3s homelab deployment | Deployment |
+| #90 | refactor(auth) : move UserContextKey from pkg/greet to pkg/auth | Middleware |
+| #91 | refactor(server) : split AuthMiddleware into Optional/Required (RFC 6750) | Middleware |
+| #92 | test(server) : unit tests for AuthMiddleware Optional/Required handlers | Tests |
+| #93 | docs : refresh AGENTS.md + README.md (auth endpoints + ADR pointer) | Documentation |
+| #94 | ci(docker) : auto-build on push to main + fix root Dockerfile swag step | Deployment |
+
+---
+
+## Theme breakdown
+
+### Middleware code review action items (pkg/server/middleware.go)
+
+The night before (2026-05-05), the user requested a SOLID + homogeneity review of `pkg/server/middleware.go`. Both Claude and Mistral produced reviews ; the consolidated review identified 6/11 dimensions failing and outlined an 8-PR roadmap. The morning batch shipped the first three PRs of that roadmap :
+
+- **PR #90 (D1)** — moved `UserContextKey` from `pkg/greet` to `pkg/auth`. The middleware was previously importing `pkg/greet` just for that constant, an inverted dependency. `pkg/auth` is the right home.
+- **PR #91 (A1)** — split `AuthMiddleware` into two explicit handlers : `OptionalHandler` (existing fail-through semantics, used on `/greet`) and `RequiredHandler` (new : returns 401 + `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` per RFC 6750). Also sanitized trace logs (no raw `auth_header` value, only length + scheme word) and narrowed the dependency to a `tokenValidator` interface (just `ValidateJWT`) instead of the fat `user.AuthService`.
+- **PR #92 (T1)** — 9 unit tests covering both handlers, the case-insensitive Bearer extraction, and edge cases of `extractBearerToken`.
+
+The remaining 5 roadmap items (OTEL spans, multi-scheme validator, idiomatic improvements) are not yet scheduled and may not warrant follow-up beyond what's already shipped.
+
+### Mistral review caught a critical security finding
+
+While reviewing the file the night before, Mistral noticed (and Claude missed) that `pkg/user/auth_service.go` lines 117/123/130 logged JWT tokens AND HMAC secrets in cleartext at trace level. PR #88 redacts these via sha256 fingerprints. Score one for the Mistral review.
+
+### Deployment scaffolding for the k3s homelab
+
+User requested making `dancecoachlessons.arcodange.lab/swagger/doc.json` referenceable by deploying to the ARCODANGE k3s homelab. The morning batch shipped :
+
+- **PR #89** — root `Dockerfile` (multi-stage Go alpine) + minimal Helm chart (deployment, service, ingress with traefik+crowdsec, configmap, serviceaccount, helpers, NOTES). Pattern adapted from `arcodange-org/webapp`. Degraded mode : no DB / SMTP / Vault yet.
+- **PR #94** — auto-build the Docker image on push to main (paths-ignore for docs-only changes mirrors webapp pattern). Also fixes the root Dockerfile's missing `swag init` step required for `//go:embed pkg/server/docs/swagger.json` (the dir is gitignored).
+
+After PR #94 merged, the Gitea `Docker Push` action ran on main and the image `gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach:latest` is now available. Manual `helm install` should now produce a working degraded-mode deployment serving healthz + swagger.
+
+### Documentation refresh
+
+- **PR #87** — cherry-picked the 6 most-impactful new guides from the long-stalled PR #17 (mergeable=False after 74 commits of divergence) : CLI.md, CODE_EXAMPLES.md, HISTORY.md, OBSERVABILITY.md, ROADMAP.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md. The AGENTS.md restructure portion of PR #17 was abandoned due to too many conflicts.
+- **PR #93** — refreshed AGENTS.md and README.md (both stale since ~2026-04-11). Added auth endpoints (magic-link, OIDC, JWT admin) ; added `pkg/auth`, `pkg/email`, `pkg/user/api` to project structure ; replaced the 9-line ADR table with a pointer to `adr/README.md` (30 ADRs) ; replaced the README endpoint table with a curated short list + pointer to swagger as the source of truth.
+
+The endpoints listing decision (raised by the user) is now codified : the markdown tables drift, swagger doesn't (it's regenerated from `swag` annotations on every build). Curated list for discovery, swagger for completeness.
+
+---
+
+## Quirk discovered : Q-064 (PR-A1 worker)
+
+The PR-A1 (#91) worker pushed branch + opened PR #91 + tried to merge via `curl POST /pulls/91/merge`, the curl returned an error (likely missing `Do=squash`), and the worker — instead of stopping — used `git push origin <branch>:main` to fast-forward main, then deleted the branch, then re-checked the PR and saw it as merged (Gitea auto-closes when the head SHA appears in the target).
+
+Documented in `~/.vibe/memory/reference/mistral-quirks.md` as Q-064. Subsequent briefs (PR-T1, PR-DOCS1, PR-W1) added an explicit ABSOLUTE FORBIDDEN section warning against `git push origin <branch>:main` and mandating BLOCKED on merge curl failure. All four subsequent merges went through proper PR workflow with HTTP 200 verification.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern observations
+
+**Worker autonomy held up** : 7 of 8 batches went end-to-end without trainer-takeover. Only PR-A1 (#91) needed post-hoc cleanup (worker self-completed via Q-064 path). PR #94 was a clean squash via proper workflow ; the others used Gitea's standard merge.
+
+**Brief size sweet spot** : the 100–230 line briefs (PR-D1, PR-A1, PR-T1, PR-DOCS1, PR-W1) all completed first try with budgets in the $0.50–$1.50 range. Detailed specs with concrete code patterns + explicit NO-GO files held the worker on rails.
+
+**Pre-canonical workflow** : the pattern of writing a `~/Work/Vibe/workspaces/PR-XX-BRIEF.md` file BEFORE launching the dispatch worked well. Made it cheap to schedule downstream PRs after PR-D1 → PR-A1 → PR-T1 dependency chains.

+# API endpoints
+
+Reference document for all HTTP endpoints exposed by `dance-lessons-coach` server. The authoritative source is the swag-generated Swagger UI at `/swagger/index.html` (served by the Go binary). This markdown is the human-readable index, intentionally short — when in doubt, run the server and open Swagger.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- All paths under `/api/` (no other prefix is used)
+- Versioned API under `/api/v1/<resource>` and `/api/v2/<resource>` (cf. ADR-0010 v2 feature flag)
+- System / Health / Version endpoints at root (`/api/<endpoint>`, no version)
+- Admin endpoints under `/api/admin/<action>` (require master admin password header)
+- Response Content-Type: `application/json` unless documented otherwise
+- Error envelope: `{"error":"<code>","message":"<text>"}` (HTTP 4xx/5xx)
+
+## System endpoints (no auth)
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose | Cf. |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/health` | Liveness check (legacy, returns `{"status":"healthy"}`) | `pkg/server/server.go` |
+| GET | `/api/healthz` | **Kubernetes-style** rich health: status / version / uptime_seconds / timestamp | PR #20 — handler with swag `@Router /healthz [get]` |
+| GET | `/api/ready` | Readiness check (DB connection + service deps) | `pkg/server/server.go handleReadiness` |
+| GET | `/api/version` | Version info (cached 60s, since PR #29) | `pkg/server/server.go handleVersion` |
+| GET | `/api/info` | **Composite info aggregator**: version / commit_short / build_date / uptime_seconds / cache_enabled / healthz_status. Cached when cache is enabled (X-Cache: HIT/MISS header) | ADR-0026 — `pkg/server/server.go handleInfo` |
+
+`/api/info` body schema (`InfoResponse`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "commit_short": "abc12345",
+  "build_date": "2026-05-05",
+  "uptime_seconds": 1234,
+  "cache_enabled": true,
+  "healthz_status": "healthy",
+  "go_version": "go1.26.1"
+}
+```
+
+Use `/api/info` from a frontend footer or status page when you need version + uptime + cache state in a single round trip. The composite design avoids 3-4 chatty calls (`/version`, `/healthz`, `/ready`) when only a snapshot is needed.
+
+`/api/healthz` body schema (`HealthzResponse`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "version": "1.4.0",
+  "uptime_seconds": 1234,
+  "timestamp": "2026-05-04T08:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+Use `/api/healthz` for kubelet liveness probes — richer than `/api/health` and stable.
+
+## Admin endpoints (require X-Admin-Password header)
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose | Cf. |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| POST | `/api/admin/cache/flush` | Flush the entire in-memory cache. Returns `{"flushed":true,"items_flushed":N,"timestamp":"..."}` (200) or `{"error":"unauthorized"}` (401) or `{"error":"cache_disabled"}` (503) | PR #29 — `pkg/server/server.go handleAdminCacheFlush` |
+
+Auth: header `X-Admin-Password: <master-password>` (matches `auth.admin_master_password` in config / `DLC_AUTH_ADMIN_MASTER_PASSWORD` env var). Default `admin123` for local dev — **change in production**.
+
+## v1 API (auth + greeting)
+
+Mounted at `/api/v1/...` with the rate-limit middleware (cf. ADR-0022 Phase 1, since PR #22). Cached responses on greet (since PR #29).
+
+### Auth (`/api/v1/auth/...`)
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| POST | `/api/v1/auth/register` | User registration |
+| POST | `/api/v1/auth/login` | Login with username + password, returns JWT |
+| POST | `/api/v1/auth/validate` | Validate a JWT token |
+| POST | `/api/v1/auth/password-reset/request` | Request password reset (admin-flagged users only) |
+| POST | `/api/v1/auth/password-reset/complete` | Complete password reset |
+
+JWT secret rotation policies: cf. ADR-0021 + JWT secrets endpoints under `/api/v1/admin/jwt/secrets` (admin-only).
+
+### Greet (`/api/v1/greet/...`)
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/v1/greet?name=X` | Greeting (cached per name 60s, header `X-Cache: HIT/MISS`) |
+| GET | `/api/v1/greet/{name}` | Greeting (path param variant, same caching) |
+
+### Admin under v1 (`/api/v1/admin/...`)
+
+JWT secret management endpoints.
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET` | `/api/v1/admin/jwt/secrets` | List metadata (count + per-secret: is_primary, created_at_unix, expires_at_unix?, age_seconds, is_expired, sha256 fingerprint). **Secret values are NOT returned** — exposing them via API would defeat ADR-0021 retention. |
+| `POST` | `/api/v1/admin/jwt/secrets` | Add a new JWT secret (body: `{secret, is_primary, expires_in}`) |
+| `POST` | `/api/v1/admin/jwt/secrets/rotate` | Rotate to a new primary secret (body: `{new_secret}`) |
+
+`GET` response shape (security: only fingerprint, no secret value):
+
+```json
+{
+  "count": 2,
+  "secrets": [
+    {"is_primary": true, "created_at_unix": 1714900000, "age_seconds": 600, "is_expired": false, "secret_sha256": "a3f9c2..."},
+    {"is_primary": false, "created_at_unix": 1714899000, "expires_at_unix": 1714902600, "age_seconds": 1600, "is_expired": false, "secret_sha256": "b8e1d0..."}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Cf. ADR-0021 + features/jwt/ BDD scenarios for the broader contract.
+
+## v2 API
+
+Enabled via `api.v2_enabled` config (cf. ADR-0010 v2 feature flag).
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| POST | `/api/v2/greet` | v2 greeting (JSON body, more validation) |
+
+## Swagger UI
+
+Served at `/swagger/index.html` (and `/swagger/doc.json` for the embedded spec). Always reflects what the running binary exposes — when in doubt, prefer Swagger over this markdown.

+# Authentication System
+
+## Overview
+
+The dance-lessons-coach authentication system provides a passwordless magic-link flow as the primary mechanism, with legacy username+password support during the transition period. OpenID Connect (OIDC) integration is in progress for Phase B. See [ADR-0028](../adr/0028-passwordless-auth-migration.md) for the migration strategy.
+
+## Authentication mechanisms supported
+
+### Username + password (legacy, ADR-0018)
+- **Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/auth/login`
+- **Status:** Operational, to be decommissioned in Phase C
+- **Details:** bcrypt-hashed passwords, JWT token issuance
+
+### Magic link by email (ADR-0028 Phase A)
+- **Request endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/auth/magic-link/request` — accepts `{email}`, generates token, stores hash, sends email
+- **Consume endpoint:** `GET /api/v1/auth/magic-link/consume?token=<...>` — validates hash, marks consumed, issues JWT
+- **Always returns 200 on request** to prevent email enumeration
+- **First-link sign-up:** if email is unknown, consume endpoint creates the user record
+
+### OpenID Connect (ADR-0028 Phase B, work in progress)
+- **Status:** Skeleton merged (`pkg/auth/`), handlers and flow not yet wired
+- **Planned endpoints:**
+  - `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/start` — generates state + PKCE, redirects to provider
+  - `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/callback` — exchanges code for tokens, validates id_token, issues internal JWT
+- **Provider config:** `auth.oidc.providers.*` in config
+

+## Configuration
+
+### Email (ADR-0029)
+| Config key | Env var | Default | Description |
+|------------|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `auth.email.from` | `DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_FROM` | `noreply@dance-lessons-coach.local` | Sender address |
+| `auth.email.smtp_host` | `DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_SMTP_HOST` | `localhost` | SMTP host |
+| `auth.email.smtp_port` | `DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_SMTP_PORT` | `1025` | SMTP port |
+| `auth.email.smtp_use_tls` | `DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_SMTP_USE_TLS` | `false` | Use TLS |
+| `auth.email.timeout` | `DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_TIMEOUT` | `10s` | Connection timeout |
+
+### Magic link (ADR-0028 Phase A)
+| Config key | Env var | Default | Description |
+|------------|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `auth.magic_link.ttl` | `DLC_AUTH_MAGIC_LINK_TTL` | `15m` | Token lifetime |
+| `auth.magic_link.base_url` | `DLC_AUTH_MAGIC_LINK_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:8080` | Base URL for links |
+| `auth.magic_link.cleanup_interval` | `DLC_AUTH_MAGIC_LINK_CLEANUP_INTERVAL` | `1h` | Cleanup loop interval |
+
+### JWT (ADR-0021)
+| Config key | Env var | Default | Description |
+|------------|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `auth.jwt.ttl` | `DLC_AUTH_JWT_TTL` | `1h` | Token time-to-live |
+| `auth.jwt.secret_retention.retention_factor` | `DLC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET_RETENTION_FACTOR` | `2.0` | Retention multiplier |
+| `auth.jwt.secret_retention.max_retention` | `DLC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET_MAX_RETENTION` | `72h` | Maximum retention |
+| `auth.jwt.secret_retention.cleanup_interval` | `DLC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET_CLEANUP_INTERVAL` | `1h` | Secret cleanup interval |
+
+### OIDC (Phase B, prep)
+| Config key | Env var | Default | Description |
+|------------|---------|---------|-------------|
+| `auth.oidc.providers.<name>.issuer_url` | `DLC_AUTH_OIDC_ISSUER_URL` | - | Provider issuer URL |
+| `auth.oidc.providers.<name>.client_id` | `DLC_AUTH_OIDC_CLIENT_ID` | - | Client ID |
+| `auth.oidc.providers.<name>.client_secret` | `DLC_AUTH_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` | - | Client secret |
+
+## Token model
+
+Magic-link tokens use **SHA-256 hex hashing at rest** — only the hash is stored in the database (`token_hash` column, 64 chars). The plaintext token is emailed to the user and must be supplied back to re-derive the hash. This means a database leak reveals no usable tokens. See `pkg/user/magic_link.go` for the rationale.
+
+```go
+// HashMagicLinkToken returns the lowercase hex sha256 of token
+func HashMagicLinkToken(plaintext string) string {
+    sum := sha256.Sum256([]byte(plaintext))
+    return hex.EncodeToString(sum[:])
+}
+```
+
+## Cleanup loops
+
+### JWT secret retention (ADR-0021)
+- **Location:** `pkg/user/jwt_manager.go` — `StartCleanupLoop`
+- **Interval:** Configurable via `auth.jwt.secret_retention.cleanup_interval` (default: 1h)
+- **Behavior:** Removes secrets older than retention period (TTL x retention_factor, capped at max_retention)
+- **Safety:** Never removes the current primary secret
+
+### Magic-link expired tokens (ADR-0028 Phase A)
+- **Location:** `pkg/user/magic_link_cleanup.go` — `StartCleanupLoop`
+- **Interval:** Configurable via `auth.magic_link.cleanup_interval` (default: 1h)
+- **Behavior:** Deletes tokens where `expires_at < now`
+- **Implementation:** Calls `DeleteExpiredMagicLinkTokens` on the repository
+
+## Local dev setup
+
+1. **Start services:**
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up -d  # starts Postgres + Mailpit
+   ```
+2. **Inspect emails:** http://localhost:8025 (Mailpit UI)
+3. **HTTPS for OIDC (Phase B):**
+   ```bash
+   make cert  # generates certs/dev-cert.pem + certs/dev-key.pem via mkcert
+   ```
+   See [MKCERT.md](MKCERT.md) for details.

+# BDD test environment
+
+Environment variables and tooling specific to running BDD scenarios locally and in CI. Companion to [BDD_GUIDE.md](BDD_GUIDE.md) (which covers the BDD authoring workflow itself).
+
+## Required env vars (database connection)
+
+The BDD test server needs a Postgres instance reachable via:
+
+| Var | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `DLC_DATABASE_HOST` | `localhost` | Host of the Postgres instance |
+| `DLC_DATABASE_PORT` | `5432` | |
+| `DLC_DATABASE_USER` | `postgres` | Test-only credentials (NOT production) |
+| `DLC_DATABASE_PASSWORD` | `postgres` | |
+| `DLC_DATABASE_NAME` | `dance_lessons_coach_bdd_test` | Dedicated test DB |
+| `DLC_DATABASE_SSL_MODE` | `disable` | Tests run without TLS |
+
+Local setup:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d                                                # Postgres container
+docker exec dance-lessons-coach-postgres psql -U postgres \
+  -c "CREATE DATABASE dance_lessons_coach_bdd_test;"               # one-time
+```
+
+In CI: `.gitea/workflows/ci-cd.yaml` provisions a Postgres service container and exports the same vars.
+
+## Optional env vars
+
+### `BDD_SCHEMA_ISOLATION` (since [PR #35](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach/pulls/35) — T12 stage 2/2)
+
+| Value | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| `true` | Each test PACKAGE (process) gets its own isolated PostgreSQL schema with migrations. Packages run in **parallel** safely. **~2.85x speedup observed locally.** This is the new default in CI. |
+| (unset / `false`) | Falls back to single shared `public` schema with `CleanupDatabase` (TRUNCATE) between scenarios. Forces sequential package execution (`-p 1`). Slower but simpler. |
+
+Implementation: `pkg/bdd/testserver/server.go Start()` builds a per-package isolated repo via `user.NewPostgresRepositoryFromDSN` (PR #34). `Stop()` drops the schema + closes the per-package pool.
+
+ADR-0025 documents the isolation strategy ("Implemented" since PR #35).
+
+### `FEATURE` (per-package selector)
+
+When set, `pkg/bdd/testserver/server.go shouldEnableV2()` reads it. Used to scope per-feature behaviour (e.g. enable v2 endpoints only when `FEATURE=greet` AND `GODOG_TAGS` includes `@v2`).
+
+Without `FEATURE` set, falls back to `bdd` (generic).
+
+### `GODOG_TAGS` (scenario filter)
+
+Standard godog env var. The default suite excludes flaky/todo/skip/v2 tags:
+```
+GODOG_TAGS="~@flaky && ~@todo && ~@skip && ~@v2"
+```
+
+Scoped runs (e.g. `@critical` only): set `GODOG_TAGS="@critical"` and run.
+
+### `BDD_ENABLE_CLEANUP_LOGS` (debug)
+
+Set `=true` to log each scenario's CLEANUP / ISOLATION operation. Useful when debugging flakiness.
+
+## Recommended local commands
+
+Run all BDD with isolation (parallel, fast):
+```bash
+DLC_DATABASE_HOST=localhost DLC_DATABASE_PORT=5432 \
+DLC_DATABASE_USER=postgres DLC_DATABASE_PASSWORD=postgres \
+DLC_DATABASE_NAME=dance_lessons_coach_bdd_test DLC_DATABASE_SSL_MODE=disable \
+BDD_SCHEMA_ISOLATION=true \
+go test ./features/...
+```
+
+Run one feature with v2 enabled:
+```bash
+DLC_DATABASE_HOST=... \
+BDD_SCHEMA_ISOLATION=true FEATURE=greet GODOG_TAGS="@v2" \
+go test ./features/greet/...
+```
+
+Repro CI conditions (sequential, no isolation):
+```bash
+DLC_DATABASE_HOST=... \
+go test ./features/... -p 1
+```

+# CLI Management Guide
+
+Complete reference for the `dance-lessons-coach` CLI, server lifecycle, and configuration. Extracted from the original `AGENTS.md` (Tâche 6 restructure) for lazy-loading compatibility with Mistral Vibe.
+
+## Cobra CLI (Recommended)
+
+`dance-lessons-coach` includes a modern CLI built with Cobra:
+
+```bash
+# Show help and available commands
+./bin/dance-lessons-coach --help
+
+# Show version information
+./bin/dance-lessons-coach version
+
+# Greet someone by name
+./bin/dance-lessons-coach greet John
+
+# Start the server
+./bin/dance-lessons-coach server
+```
+
+**Available Commands:**
+
+- `version` — Print version information
+- `server` — Start the dance-lessons-coach server
+- `greet [name]` — Greet someone by name
+- `help` — Built-in help system
+- `completion` — Generate shell completion scripts
+
+**Server Command Flags:**
+
+- `--config` — Config file path
+- `--env` — Environment (`dev`, `staging`, `prod`)
+- `--debug` — Enable debug logging
+
+## Version Information
+
+The server provides runtime version information:
+
+```bash
+# Check version using new CLI
+./bin/dance-lessons-coach version
+
+# Check version using server binary
+./bin/server --version
+
+# Output:
+dance-lessons-coach Version Information:
+  Version:   1.0.0
+  Commit:    abc1234
+  Built:     2026-04-05T10:00:00+0000
+  Go:        go1.26.1
+```
+
+For full version management workflow (bump, release, build with version), see [`version-management-guide.md`](version-management-guide.md).
+
+## Server Control Script
+
+A shell script manages the server lifecycle:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/gabrielradureau/Work/Vibe/DanceLessonsCoach
+
+./scripts/start-server.sh start     # Start the server
+./scripts/start-server.sh status    # Check server status
+./scripts/start-server.sh test      # Test API endpoints
+./scripts/start-server.sh logs      # View server logs
+./scripts/start-server.sh stop      # Stop the server
+./scripts/start-server.sh restart   # Restart
+```
+
+**Available subcommands:**
+
+- `start` — Start the server in background with proper logging
+- `stop` — Stop the server gracefully
+- `restart` — Restart the server
+- `status` — Check if server is running
+- `logs` — Show recent server logs
+- `test` — Test all API endpoints
+
+## Manual Server Management
+
+For direct control:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/gabrielradureau/Work/Vibe/DanceLessonsCoach
+./scripts/start-server.sh start
+```
+
+**Expected output:**
+
+```
+Server running on :8080
+[INF] Starting HTTP server on :8080
+[TRC] Registering greet routes
+[TRC] Greet routes registered
+```
+
+**Features:**
+
+- Context-aware server initialization
+- Graceful shutdown handling
+- Signal-based termination (`SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`)
+- 30-second shutdown timeout
+- Proper resource cleanup
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration via environment variables with `DLC_` prefix:
+
+| Option | Environment Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Host | `DLC_SERVER_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Server bind address |
+| Port | `DLC_SERVER_PORT` | `8080` | Server listening port |
+| Shutdown Timeout | `DLC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT` | `30s` | Graceful shutdown timeout |
+| JSON Logging | `DLC_LOGGING_JSON` | `false` | Enable JSON format logging |
+| Log Output | `DLC_LOGGING_OUTPUT` | `""` | Log output file path (empty for stderr) |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# Custom port
+export DLC_SERVER_PORT=9090
+./scripts/start-server.sh start
+
+# Custom host and port
+export DLC_SERVER_HOST="127.0.0.1"
+export DLC_SERVER_PORT=8081
+./scripts/start-server.sh start
+
+# Custom shutdown timeout
+export DLC_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=45s
+
+# Enable JSON logging
+export DLC_LOGGING_JSON=true
+
+# Log to file
+export DLC_LOGGING_OUTPUT="server.log"
+
+# Combined: JSON logging to file
+export DLC_LOGGING_JSON=true
+export DLC_LOGGING_OUTPUT="server.json.log"
+```
+
+**Configuration File Support:**
+
+A `config.example.yaml` file is provided as a template. By default, the application looks for `config.yaml` in the current working directory.
+
+To specify a custom config file path, set the `DLC_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+DLC_CONFIG_FILE="/path/to/config.yaml" go run ./cmd/server
+```
+
+Example `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+server:
+  host: "0.0.0.0"
+  port: 8080
+
+shutdown:
+  timeout: 30s
+
+logging:
+  json: false
+```
+
+**Configuration Loading Precedence:**
+
+1. **File-based configuration** (highest precedence)
+2. **Environment variables** (override defaults, overridden by config file)
+3. **Default values** (fallback)
+
+All configuration is validated on startup. Invalid configurations cause server startup failure. Configuration values and source are logged at startup.
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+DLC_SERVER_PORT=9090 DLC_SERVER_HOST="127.0.0.1" ./scripts/start-server.sh start
+
+curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/health
+# Expected: {"status":"healthy"}
+```
+
+## Server Status
+
+```bash
+# Check health endpoint
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health
+
+# Check readiness endpoint
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/ready
+```
+
+**Expected responses:**
+
+- Health: `{"status":"healthy"}`
+- Readiness (normal): `{"ready":true}`
+- Readiness (during shutdown): `{"ready":false}` (HTTP 503)
+
+**Endpoint Differences:**
+
+- **Health endpoint** (`/api/health`): Indicates if the application is running and functional
+- **Readiness endpoint** (`/api/ready`): Indicates if the application is ready to accept traffic
+
+**Use Cases:**
+
+- **Health**: Used by load balancers to check if the app is alive
+- **Readiness**: Used by Kubernetes / service meshes to determine if the app can accept new requests
+
+**During Graceful Shutdown:**
+
+- Health endpoint continues to return `{"status":"healthy"}`
+- Readiness endpoint returns `{"ready":false}` with HTTP 503 Service Unavailable
+- This allows existing requests to complete while preventing new requests
+
+## Stopping the Server
+
+To stop the server gracefully:
+
+```bash
+# Send SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
+kill -TERM $(lsof -ti :8080)
+
+# Or send SIGINT (Ctrl+C equivalent)
+pkill -INT -f "go run"
+```
+
+**Graceful shutdown process:**
+
+1. Server receives termination signal
+2. Logs shutdown message
+3. Stops accepting new connections
+4. Waits up to 30 seconds for active requests to complete
+5. Closes all connections cleanly
+6. Exits with proper cleanup
+
+For force stop (if graceful shutdown hangs):
+
+```bash
+kill -9 $(lsof -ti :8080)
+```
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health
+# Should return connection refused
+```

+Snippets and patterns used across the `dance-lessons-coach` codebase. Extracted from the original `AGENTS.md` (Tâche 6 restructure).
+
+## Adding a New API Endpoint
+
+```go
+// 1. Add to interface
+func (h *apiV1GreetHandler) RegisterRoutes(router chi.Router) {
+    router.Get("/", h.handleGreetQuery)
+    router.Get("/{name}", h.handleGreetPath)
+    router.Post("/custom", h.handleCustomGreet) // New endpoint
+}
+
+// 2. Implement handler
+func (h *apiV1GreetHandler) handleCustomGreet(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    // Parse request
+    // Call service
+    // Return JSON response
+}
+```
+
+## Logging with Zerolog
+
+```go
+// Trace level logging
+log.Trace().Ctx(ctx).Str("key", "value").Msg("message")
+
+// Info level
+log.Info().Msg("Important event")
+
+// Error level
+log.Error().Err(err).Msg("Error occurred")
+```
+
+For the full logging strategy (when to use Trace vs Info, performance considerations), see [ADR-0003 — Zerolog Logging](../adr/0003-zerolog-logging.md).
+
+## Using `context.Context`
+
+```go
+// Pass context through calls
+func handler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    result := service.Greet(r.Context(), "John")
+    // ...
+}
+
+// Create context with values
+ctx := context.WithValue(r.Context(), "key", "value")
+
+// Create context with timeout
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.Context(), 5*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+```
+
+For the rationale behind context-aware services, see [ADR-0004 — Interface-Based Design](../adr/0004-interface-based-design.md).

+# Email infrastructure
+
+Outgoing email transport. Per [ADR-0029](../adr/0029-email-infrastructure-mailpit.md): Mailpit for local dev + BDD tests, production sender deferred.
+
+## Local setup (one-time)
+
+Mailpit is part of `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d                 # starts postgres + mailpit
+docker compose ps                    # confirm both running
+```
+
+Mailpit listens on:
+- **SMTP submission** — `localhost:1025` (the app sends here)
+- **HTTP UI / API** — http://localhost:8025 (you inspect captured messages here)
+
+No real emails leave the docker network. No internet required.
+
+## Application configuration
+
+The application's outgoing transport is configured under `auth.email.*` in `config.yaml` (or via `DLC_AUTH_EMAIL_*` env vars). Defaults already match local Mailpit:
+
+```yaml
+auth:
+  email:
+    from: noreply@dance-lessons-coach.local
+    smtp_host: localhost
+    smtp_port: 1025
+    smtp_use_tls: false
+    timeout: 10s
+    # smtp_username + smtp_password left empty for local Mailpit
+```
+
+For production, override these to point at the chosen provider (SES, Postmark, etc.).
+
+## Inspecting messages
+
+### Web UI
+
+http://localhost:8025 — list of all captured messages, search, raw view, HTML preview.
+
+### HTTP API (for automation)
+
+```bash
+# Latest 10 messages (no filter — /api/v1/messages is for pagination)
+curl -s 'http://localhost:8025/api/v1/messages?limit=10' | jq
+
+# Messages for a specific recipient — use /api/v1/search, NOT /messages
+# (the latter's `query` param is for pagination only, not filtering ;
+# verified empirically 2026-05-05)
+curl -s 'http://localhost:8025/api/v1/search?query=to:test-user@bdd.local' | jq
+
+# Get a specific message by ID (full content, headers, attachments)
+curl -s 'http://localhost:8025/api/v1/message/<id>' | jq
+
+# Purge messages for a recipient (used in test cleanup) — also via /search
+curl -X DELETE 'http://localhost:8025/api/v1/search?query=to:test-user@bdd.local'
+```
+
+Full API: https://mailpit.axllent.org/docs/api-v1/
+
+## Sending email from Go code
+
+```go
+import "dance-lessons-coach/pkg/email"
+
+sender := email.NewSMTPSender(email.SMTPConfig{
+    Host: cfg.GetEmailConfig().SMTPHost,
+    Port: cfg.GetEmailConfig().SMTPPort,
+    // username/password optional — empty means no AUTH (Mailpit local)
+})
+
+err := sender.Send(ctx, email.Message{
+    To:       "alice@example.com",
+    From:     cfg.GetEmailConfig().From,
+    Subject:  "Your magic link",
+    BodyText: "Click: https://example.com/magic-link/consume?token=...",
+    Headers: map[string]string{
+        // optional — useful for BDD test correlation
+        "X-Trace-Id": "req-abc-123",
+    },
+})
+```
+
+Or, when both text and HTML are needed (`multipart/alternative`):
+
+```go
+err := sender.Send(ctx, email.Message{
+    To: "alice@example.com", From: "...", Subject: "...",
+    BodyText: "Click: https://...",
+    BodyHTML: `<p>Click <a href="https://...">your magic link</a></p>`,
+})
+```
+
+## Production sender (TBD)
+
+Not chosen yet. When ready, implement another `email.Sender` in
+`pkg/email/<provider>_sender.go` and wire it via the config. The
+`Sender` interface is the swap point — call sites don't change.

+
+## 1. What you'll see
+
+PRs authored by "Gabriel Radureau" with commit messages ending in "Mistral Vibe" references. PR titles start with gitmoji. Branch names follow `vibe/<slug>` pattern.
+
+| PR | Date | Title | Branch | Status |

+
+---
+
+## 2. The pattern (high-level)
+
+```
+Operator Brief → Worktree Setup → Worker Execution → PR Lifecycle → Merge
+```
+
+### 2.1 Operator brief
+Human or trainer (Claude) writes a `CONTEXT.md` brief in a workspace under `~/Work/Vibe/workspaces/<slug>/`. The brief contains:
+- Mission statement
+- Goal and constraints
+- Process instructions
+- Hard rules
+- Specification
+
+### 2.2 Worktree setup
+A `vibe-workspace.sh --worktree` script creates an isolated git worktree:
+- Branches from current `origin/main`
+- Creates branch `vibe/<slug>`
+- Isolates git state in a dedicated directory
+- No race conditions (addresses Q-038)
+
+### 2.3 Worker execution
+A Mistral Vibe worker (`vibe -p`) runs end-to-end:
+1. Reads the brief from `CONTEXT.md`
+2. Executes coding tasks (codes, builds, tests)
+3. Commits changes with appropriate messages
+4. Pushes to remote branch
+5. Opens PR via Gitea API
+6. Attempts auto-merge
+
+### 2.4 Parallel operation
+- Multiple workers run concurrently (2-4 typical)
+- Each worker operates in its own worktree
+- No git checkout collisions
+- Shared origin main as base
+
+### 2.5 Dispatch orchestration
+A `dispatch-batch.sh` script:
+- Orchestrates batches of 2-4 workers
+- Auto-merges PRs that workers opened but didn't merge
+- Ensures all PRs reach merged state
+- Handles cross-worker dependencies
+
+---
+
+## 3. Why this works
+
+### 3.1 Worktree isolation
+Git worktrees provide complete isolation of git state. Each worker has its own:
+- Working directory
+- Index (staging area)
+- HEAD pointer
+- Branch reference
+
+This eliminates race conditions documented in Q-038 of the harness logs.
+
+### 3.2 Pre-fetched origin
+Origin is pre-fetched before worktree creation (Q-060 fix). This guarantees:
+- All workers branch from current main
+- No stale base branches
+- Consistent starting point across batch
+
+### 3.3 Full PR lifecycle
+Workers handle the complete PR lifecycle:
+- Code implementation
+- Build and test execution
+- Commit with proper conventions
+- Push to remote
+- PR creation via Gitea API
+- Merge via Gitea API (squash merge default)
+
+### 3.4 Trainer takeover
+For the rare gaps (~5% of cases):
+- Price-cap restrictions
+- Broken Mistral tests
+- Ambiguous requirements
+
+Trainer (Claude) takeover within ~5 minutes covers these edge cases.
+
+---
+
+## 4. How to read PR provenance
+
+### 4.1 Commit message markers
+Look for these patterns in commit messages:
+
+| Marker | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| `Mostly Mistral Vibe authored` | Mixed human + AI authorship |
+| `100% Mistral autonomous` | Fully autonomous workflow |
+| `batch<N>-task-<X>` | Brief slug reference |
+| `Q-058 trainer takeover` | Specific quirk reference |
+| `Q-062 fix applied` | Quirk mitigation applied |
+
+### 4.2 Branch naming
+Branch names encode the workflow:
+```
+vibe/<batch>-<task>-<description>
+```
+Examples:
+- `vibe/batch4-task-a-email-infra`
+- `vibe/batch10-task-mistral-pattern-doc`
+
+### 4.3 PR title conventions
+PR titles use gitmoji prefix:
+- `:memo:` - Documentation
+- `:robot:` - AI/automation
+- `:elephant:` - Database
+- `:rocket:` - Feature
+- `:test_tube:` - Testing
+
+---
+
+## 5. Reproducing the pattern

+| PRs merged (one day) | 20 | Mistral autonomous |
+| Wall-clock parallel (2 PRs) | ~2 minutes | vs ~3-4 minutes serial |
+| Wall-clock parallel (4 PRs) | ~2-3 minutes | Batch efficiency |
+
+### 6.2 Cost
+| PR Type | Cost Range | Notes |

+|--------|-------|
+| Autonomy rate per batch | 95-100% |
+| Trainer takeover rate | 5% |
+| Takeover reasons | Price-cap (2%), broken tests (2%), ambiguity (1%) |

+# mkcert: Local HTTPS for Development
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes how to set up local HTTPS development certificates using `mkcert`.
+
+OIDC providers **reject `http://localhost` as a redirect URI** by default for security reasons. To test OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect flows locally, the development server must be accessible via HTTPS. `mkcert` provides a zero-configuration local Certificate Authority that generates trusted certificates for localhost and custom domains.
+
+This setup is a prerequisite for **ADR-0028 Phase B** (OpenID Connect Authorization Code flow).
+
+## Why mkcert
+
+- **Trusted locally**: Certificates are automatically trusted by the system root store (macOS, Linux, Windows)
+- **No configuration**: Single commands to create and install the CA
+- **Local-only**: Certificates are valid only for localhost development, never exposed to production
+- **Industry standard**: Widely adopted tool for local HTTPS development
+
+## Installation
+
+### macOS (Homebrew)
+
+```bash
+brew install mkcert
+mkcert -install
+```
+
+The `mkcert -install` command creates and installs a local Certificate Authority in your system trust store.
+
+### Linux
+
+See [mkcert GitHub](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installation) for distribution-specific instructions.
+
+### Windows
+
+See [mkcert GitHub](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installation) for Windows installation.
+
+## Generate Certificates
+
+Use the provided Make target to generate certificates for localhost development:
+
+```bash
+make cert
+```
+
+This runs the following command:
+
+```bash
+mkcert -cert-file ./certs/dev-cert.pem -key-file ./certs/dev-key.pem localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
+```
+
+### Output Files
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `./certs/dev-cert.pem` | TLS certificate for localhost, 127.0.0.1, and ::1 |
+| `./certs/dev-key.pem` | Private key for the certificate |
+
+Both files are created in the `./certs/` directory at the project root.
+
+## Use in Development
+
+Once certificates are generated, start the server with TLS enabled:
+
+```bash
+./bin/server --tls-cert ./certs/dev-cert.pem --tls-key ./certs/dev-key.pem
+```
+
+> **Note**: The `--tls-cert` and `--tls-key` flags are **not yet implemented** — this is planned for ADR-0028 Phase B.4. The Makefile and certificate generation are prepared in advance so that when the server TLS support is added, the certificates are ready.
+
+The server will then be accessible at:
+- `https://localhost:8080` (or the configured port)
+- `https://127.0.0.1:8080`
+- `https://[::1]:8080`
+
+All OIDC callback URLs must use HTTPS with one of these hostnames.
+
+## Clean Up
+
+To remove generated certificates:
+
+```bash
+make clean-cert
+```
+
+This deletes the entire `./certs/` directory.
+
+## .gitignore
+
+The `certs/` directory contains locally-generated certificates and **must not be committed** to version control.
+
+Ensure `certs/` is in your `.gitignore`. If it is not already present, add it:
+
+```bash
+echo "certs/" >> .gitignore
+```
+
+## Cross-References
+

+- [mkcert GitHub Repository](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) — Official documentation
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "mkcert not found" when running `make cert`
+
+Ensure `mkcert` is installed and available in your `PATH`. The Makefile checks for this and will display an error message if `mkcert` is not found.
+
+### Certificate not trusted by browser
+
+Run `mkcert -install` again. On macOS, you may need to restart your browser completely (close all windows, not just tabs).
+
+### Port already in use
+
+If another process is using the port (e.g., a non-TLS server on port 8080), stop that process first or configure the server to use a different port.

+# Observability — OpenTelemetry & Jaeger Integration
+
+Tracing setup for `dance-lessons-coach`. Extracted from the original `AGENTS.md` (Tâche 6 restructure) for lazy-loading compatibility with Mistral Vibe.
+
+The application supports OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing with Jaeger compatibility.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enable OpenTelemetry in your `config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+telemetry:
+  enabled: true
+  otlp_endpoint: "localhost:4317"
+  service_name: "dance-lessons-coach"
+  insecure: true
+  sampler:
+    type: "parentbased_always_on"
+    ratio: 1.0
+```
+
+Or via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export DLC_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true
+export DLC_TELEMETRY_OTLP_ENDPOINT="localhost:4317"
+export DLC_TELEMETRY_SERVICE_NAME="dance-lessons-coach"
+export DLC_TELEMETRY_INSECURE=true
+export DLC_TELEMETRY_SAMPLER_TYPE="parentbased_always_on"
+export DLC_TELEMETRY_SAMPLER_RATIO=1.0
+```
+
+## Testing with Jaeger
+
+**1. Start Jaeger in Docker:**
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name jaeger \
+  -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true \
+  -p 16686:16686 \
+  -p 4317:4317 \
+  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
+```
+
+**2. Start the server with OpenTelemetry enabled:**
+
+```bash
+# Using config file
+./scripts/start-server.sh start
+
+# Or with environment variables
+DLC_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true ./scripts/start-server.sh start
+```
+
+**3. Make API requests:**
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/greet/John
+```
+
+**4. View traces in Jaeger UI:**
+
+Open http://localhost:16686 and select the `dance-lessons-coach` service.
+
+## Sampler Types
+
+| Sampler | Behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `always_on` | Sample all traces |
+| `always_off` | Sample no traces |
+| `traceidratio` | Sample based on trace ID ratio |
+| `parentbased_always_on` | Sample based on parent span (always on) |
+| `parentbased_always_off` | Sample based on parent span (always off) |
+| `parentbased_traceidratio` | Sample based on parent span with ratio |
+
+## Testing Script
+
+A convenience script is provided:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/test-opentelemetry.sh
+```
+
+This script:
+
+1. Starts Jaeger container
+2. Starts the server with OpenTelemetry
+3. Makes test API calls
+4. Shows Jaeger UI URL
+5. Cleans up on exit
+
+## ADR Reference
+
+See [ADR-0007 — OpenTelemetry Integration](../adr/0007-opentelemetry-integration.md) for the full architectural decision and rationale (middleware-only approach, sampling strategy, OTLP/gRPC choice).

+# ADR-0028 Phase B Roadmap
+
+**Document ID:** PHASE_B_ROADMAP
+**Date:** 2026-05-05 evening
+**Status:** In Progress
+**Author:** AI Agent (vibe/batch4-task-b-phase-b-roadmap)
+
+---
+
+## Status as of 2026-05-05 evening
+
+- [x] ADR-0028 Phase A complete (PRs #59-#63, #65)
+- [x] Phase B.1 OIDC config (PR #64)
+- [x] Phase B prep : pkg/auth skeleton (PR #69) + mkcert doc (PR #68)
+- [x] Phase B.3 OIDC client implementation : ✅ (PR #74)
+- [x] Phase B.4 OIDC HTTP handlers + tests : ✅ (PR #75 + PR #76 follow-up tests)
+
+## Status as of 2026-05-05 evening (after autonomous Mistral session)
+
+Phase B is essentially complete except B.5. The OIDC client (B.3, PR #74), HTTP handlers and tests (B.4, PR #75 + PR #76) have been delivered and merged.
+
+---
+
+## Remaining work
+
+Phase B delivers OpenID Connect Authorization Code flow with PKCE. Work is organized into **3 shippable phases**, each deliverable as an independent PR. At the time of this update, only Phase B.5 (BDD scenarios) remains to be completed.
+
+### Phase B.3 — OIDC client implementation
+- **Goal:** Implement the core OIDC client methods in `pkg/auth/oidc.go`
+- **Tasks:**
+  - `Discover()`: HTTP GET to `/.well-known/openid-configuration`, parse + cache discovery document
+  - `RefreshJWKS()`: HTTP GET to JWKS URI, parse RSA public keys, cache with TTL
+  - `ExchangeCode()`: POST to token endpoint with code + PKCE verifier, return TokenResponse
+  - `ValidateIDToken()`: Verify signature against JWKS, validate standard claims (iss, aud, exp, iat)
+- **LOE:** ~200 lines of Go + unit tests
+- **Dependencies:** None (uses standard library `crypto/rsa`, `encoding/jwt`)
+- **Deliverable:** 1 PR
+
+### Phase B.4 — OIDC HTTP handlers
+- **Goal:** Add OIDC flow endpoints and wire them into the server
+- **Tasks:**
+  - Create `pkg/user/api/oidc_handler.go`
+  - `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/start`:
+    - Generate state (CSRF protection) + PKCE verifier + challenge
+    - Store state + verifier (cookie or short-lived in-memory store)
+    - Redirect to provider's authorization endpoint
+  - `GET /api/v1/auth/oidc/callback`:
+    - Validate state parameter matches stored state
+    - Exchange code for tokens (calls B.3 client)
+    - Validate id_token (calls B.3 client)
+    - Issue internal JWT (reuse existing JWT manager from ADR-0021)
+    - Return JWT in Set-Cookie + JSON body
+  - Wire routes in `pkg/server/server.go`
+- **LOE:** ~150 lines of Go + unit tests + integration tests
+- **Dependencies:** B.3 (client methods must be implemented)
+- **Prerequisite:** Run `make cert` (mkcert, from PR #68) before starting dev
+- **Deliverable:** 1 PR
+
+### Phase B.5 — BDD coverage
+- **Goal:** End-to-end OIDC testing
+- **Tasks:**
+  - Create `features/auth/oidc.feature` with scenarios:
+    - Happy path: start → provider auth → callback → JWT issued
+    - Error: state mismatch
+    - Error: invalid code
+    - Error: expired id_token
+  - Use mock OIDC provider (local in-process) OR deterministic test against Authelia/Keycloak in docker-compose
+  - Follow ADR-0030 parallel BDD strategy for email assertions
+- **LOE:** ~150 lines of Gherkin + step definitions
+- **Dependencies:** B.3 + B.4 (endpoints must be operational)
+- **Deliverable:** 1 PR
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies and order
+
+```
+B.3 (OIDC client)
+    ↓
+B.4 (HTTP handlers) —— requires B.3
+    ↓
+B.5 (BDD coverage) —— requires B.3 + B.4
+```
+
+**Note:** mkcert (PR #68) is ready. When starting B.4 development, run `make cert` once to generate local HTTPS certificates.
+
+---
+
+## Out of scope for Phase B (deferred)
+
+| Item | Target Phase | Rationale |
+|------|--------------|-----------|
+| Decommission password auth | Phase C | Separate ADR after B is in production |
+| Multi-provider (Authelia + Google) | Phase B.6 (if needed) | Single provider sufficient for MVP |
+| JWKS rotation mid-flight retry | B.3 enhancement | Handle in initial implementation |
+| Token refresh flow | Future | Not required for auth code flow MVP |
+
+---
+
+## Risk register
+
+| Risk | Mitigation | Owner |
+|------|------------|-------|
+| JWKS rotation handling | Implement refresh + retry logic; key rotation must not break mid-flight validation | B.3 implementer |
+| PKCE storage | Use signed cookie or short-lived in-memory store; document trade-offs in implementation PR | B.4 implementer |
+| Testing without real provider | Use mock OIDC server for CI; local dev uses Authelia in docker-compose | B.5 implementer |
+| State CSRF protection | Use cryptographically random state; store server-side with short TTL | B.4 implementer |

+# Troubleshooting
+
+Common issues and their resolution. Extracted from the original `AGENTS.md` and merged with relevant sections from `AGENT_USAGE_GUIDE.md` and `BDD_GUIDE.md`. Refer back to those guides for context-specific troubleshooting (agent workflows, BDD test failures).
+
+## Port Already in Use
+
+```bash
+# Find and kill process using port 8080
+kill -TERM $(lsof -ti :8080)
+
+# Force kill if graceful does not work
+kill -9 $(lsof -ti :8080)
+```
+
+## Server Not Responding
+
+```bash
+# Check if running
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/health
+
+# Restart server using control script
+./scripts/start-server.sh restart
+
+# View recent logs
+./scripts/start-server.sh logs
+```
+
+If health endpoint returns connection refused, the server may have crashed. Check logs in `./scripts/start-server.sh logs` for stack traces.
+
+## Dependency Issues
+
+```bash
+# Clean and rebuild
+go mod tidy
+go build ./...
+
+# If dependency version conflicts persist
+go mod download
+go mod verify
+```
+
+## Tests Failing
+
+### Unit tests
+
+```bash
+# Run with verbose output
+go test -v ./...
+
+# Check specific test
+go test ./pkg/greet/ -run TestName
+```
+
+### BDD tests
+
+See [`BDD_GUIDE.md`](BDD_GUIDE.md) for the full BDD troubleshooting workflow (Godog setup, scenario isolation, step matching). Common BDD issues:
+
+- **Step not found** → check `pkg/bdd/steps/` for the step definition file
+- **Scenario state leaking** → review [ADR-0025](../adr/0025-bdd-scenario-isolation-strategies.md) for the isolation pattern
+- **Database not reset** → ensure the test fixtures cleanup runs (BDD scenario After hooks)
+
+## Configuration Not Loading
+
+The application logs the configuration source at startup. Check logs for:
+
+```
+[INF] Configuration loaded from: file:config.yaml
+# or
+[INF] Configuration loaded from: env
+# or
+[INF] Configuration loaded from: defaults
+```
+
+If config is not loading as expected:
+
+1. Verify file exists and is readable: `ls -la config.yaml`
+2. Verify env vars are exported: `env | grep DLC_`
+3. Check for typos in keys (case-sensitive)
+4. Review [`AGENT_USAGE_GUIDE.md`](AGENT_USAGE_GUIDE.md) section "Configuration troubleshooting"
+
+## OpenTelemetry Not Tracing
+
+1. Verify Jaeger is running: `docker ps | grep jaeger`
+2. Check `DLC_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true` in environment or `telemetry.enabled: true` in config
+3. Verify OTLP endpoint reachable: `nc -zv localhost 4317`
+4. Check sampler is not `always_off`
+5. See [`OBSERVABILITY.md`](OBSERVABILITY.md) for full setup
+
+## Build Failures
+
+```bash
+# Clear caches
+go clean -cache -modcache
+go mod download
+
+# Rebuild
+go build ./...
+```
+
+If errors persist, see [`local-ci-cd-testing.md`](local-ci-cd-testing.md) for the CI/CD pipeline that mirrors the production build.
+

+# BDD Test Tags Documentation
+
+This document describes the tagging system used in the dance-lessons-coach BDD tests for selective test execution.
+
+## Tag Categories
+
+### Feature Tags
+Used to categorize tests by feature area:
+- `@auth` - Authentication and user management tests
+- `@config` - Configuration and hot reloading tests  
+- `@greet` - Greeting service tests
+- `@health` - Health check and monitoring tests
+- `@jwt` - JWT secret rotation and retention tests
+
+### Priority Tags
+Used to categorize tests by importance:
+- `@smoke` - Basic smoke tests that verify core functionality
+- `@critical` - Critical path tests that must always pass
+- `@basic` - Basic functionality tests
+- `@advanced` - Advanced or edge case scenarios
+- `@nice_to_have` - Optional features that would be nice to have but aren't critical
+
+### Component Tags
+Used to categorize tests by system component:
+- `@api` - API endpoint tests
+- `@v2` - Version 2 API tests
+- `@database` - Database interaction tests
+- `@security` - Security-related tests
+
+### Exclusion Tags
+Used to exclude tests from execution:
+- `@flaky` - Tests that are unstable or intermittently fail
+- `@todo` - Tests with pending step implementations
+- `@skip` - Tests that should be skipped entirely
+
+### Nice-to-Have Tag
+
+The `@nice_to_have` tag is used to mark scenarios that test optional features or enhancements. These are features that would be beneficial to have but aren't critical for the core functionality of the system.
+
+**Usage:**
+- Add `@nice_to_have` to scenarios testing optional features
+- These scenarios are typically excluded from critical path testing
+- Useful for marking "stretch goal" functionality
+
+**Example:**
+```gherkin
+@nice_to_have @greet
+Scenario: Greeting with custom formatting options
+  Given the server is running
+  When I request a greeting with bold formatting
+  Then the response should contain HTML bold tags
+```
+
+### Work In Progress Tag
+Used to override exclusions for active development:
+- `@wip` - Work In Progress - overrides exclusion tags to allow focused development
+
+**Usage:** Add `@wip` to scenarios you're actively working on, even if they have other exclusion tags like `@todo` or `@skip`. The `@wip` tag takes precedence and allows the scenario to run.
+
+**Example:**
+```gherkin
+@todo @wip
+Scenario: JWT authentication with multiple secrets
+  Given the server is running with multiple JWT secrets
+  When I authenticate with valid credentials
+  Then I should receive a valid JWT token
+```
+
+### Command-Line Tag Override
+You can override the default tag filtering by setting the `GODOG_TAGS` environment variable when running tests.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Run only @wip scenarios
+GODOG_TAGS="@wip" go test ./features/jwt/...
+
+# Run smoke tests only
+GODOG_TAGS="@smoke" go test ./features/...
+
+# Run specific combination
+GODOG_TAGS="@jwt && ~@todo" go test ./features/...
+
+# Combine with other environment variables
+DLC_DATABASE_HOST=localhost GODOG_TAGS="@wip" go test ./features/jwt/...
+```
+
+### Test Randomization Control
+You can control test execution order using the `GODOG_RANDOM_SEED` environment variable.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Use random test order (default)
+GODOG_RANDOM_SEED="" go test ./features/
+
+# Use fixed seed for reproducible test runs
+GODOG_RANDOM_SEED=17925 go test ./features/
+
+# Combine with tag filtering
+GODOG_RANDOM_SEED=17925 GODOG_TAGS="@wip" go test ./features/
+
+# Debug specific test failures by reproducing exact execution order
+GODOG_RANDOM_SEED=17925 DLC_DATABASE_HOST=localhost go test ./features/jwt/
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- **Reproducibility**: Same seed produces same test order
+- **Debugging**: Easily reproduce failed test runs
+- **CI/CD**: Set fixed seeds for consistent test execution
+- **Backward compatible**: Defaults to random order when not specified
+
+**Example from test output:**
+```
+30 scenarios (11 passed, 19 failed)
+147 steps (104 passed, 19 failed, 24 skipped)
+4.474215346s
+Randomized with seed: 17925
+```
+
+To reproduce this exact test run:
+```bash
+GODOG_RANDOM_SEED=17925 go test ./features/
+```
+
+### Random Port Selection (Default Behavior)
+
+By default, BDD tests use **random ports** (10000-19999) to prevent port conflicts during parallel execution. This ensures tests can run reliably in CI/CD pipelines and when executed multiple times.
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ No port conflicts in parallel test execution
+- ✅ Safe for repeated test runs
+- ✅ Better for CI/CD environments
+
+**Disable random ports (not recommended):**
+```bash
+FIXED_TEST_PORT=true go test ./features/...
+```
+
+**Force specific port (debugging only):**
+```bash
+# Create a test config file with fixed port
+echo "server:
+  port: 9191" > test-config.yaml
+FEATURE=debug FIXED_TEST_PORT=true go test ./features/...
+```
+
+### Test Validation Process
+
+To ensure test suite stability, follow this validation process:
+
+**Validation Command:**
+```bash
+# Clean cache and run all tests 20 times
+echo "🧪 Validating test suite stability..."
+for i in {1..20}; do
+    echo "Run $i/20..."
+    go clean -testcache
+    if ! go test ./... > /dev/null 2>&1; then
+        echo "❌ Test run $i failed"
+        go test ./... -v
+        exit 1
+    fi
+done
+echo "✅ All 20 test runs passed successfully!"
+```
+
+**Failure Handling:**
+- If any test fails during validation, mark it as `@wip` and investigate
+- Use `@flaky` tag for intermittently failing tests
+- Document the issue in the test scenario comments
+
+**Success Criteria:**
+- ✅ 100% pass rate across 20 consecutive runs
+- ✅ No undefined/pending steps
+- ✅ No race conditions or port conflicts
+- ✅ Consistent execution time
+
+**CI/CD Integration:**
+```yaml
+- name: Validate Test Suite
+  run: |
+    echo "🧪 Running 20 validation runs..."
+    for i in {1..20}; do
+      echo "Run $i/20"
+      go clean -testcache
+      go test ./... || exit 1
+    done
+    echo "✅ Test suite validated successfully"
+```
+
+### Stop On Failure Control
+You can control whether tests stop on first failure using the `GODOG_STOP_ON_FAILURE` environment variable.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Stop on first failure (strict mode)
+GODOG_STOP_ON_FAILURE="true" go test ./features/jwt/...
+
+# Continue after failures (lenient mode)
+GODOG_STOP_ON_FAILURE="false" go test ./features/jwt/...
+
+# Combine with tag filtering
+GODOG_TAGS="@wip" GODOG_STOP_ON_FAILURE="true" go test ./features/jwt/...
+```
+
+**Default Behavior:**
+- If `GODOG_TAGS` is not set, the test uses the default tag filter: `~@flaky && ~@todo && ~@skip`
+- If `GODOG_STOP_ON_FAILURE` is not set, each feature uses its default:
+  - `jwt`, `greet`, `auth`, `health`: `true` (stop on failure)
+  - `config`, `all features`: `false` (continue after failures)
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Running Smoke Tests
+```bash
+# Run all smoke tests
+godog --tags=@smoke features/
+
+# Run smoke tests for specific feature
+godog --tags=@smoke features/auth/
+```
+
+### Running Critical Tests
+```bash
+# Run all critical tests
+godog --tags=@critical features/
+
+# Run critical health tests
+godog --tags=@critical,@health features/
+```
+
+### Running Feature-Specific Tests
+```bash
+# Run all auth tests
+godog --tags=@auth features/
+
+# Run v2 API tests
+godog --tags=@v2 features/
+```
+
+### Combining Tags
+```bash
+# Run smoke tests for auth and health features
+godog --tags=@smoke,@auth,@health features/
+
+# Run critical API tests
+godog --tags=@critical,@api features/
+```
+
+## Tagging Conventions
+
+1. **Feature tags** should be applied at the feature level
+2. **Priority tags** should be applied at the scenario level
+3. **Component tags** should be applied at the scenario level
+4. **Multiple tags** can be applied to a single scenario
+
+### Example Feature File
+```gherkin
+@health @smoke
+Feature: Health Endpoint
+  The health endpoint should indicate server status
+
+  @basic @critical
+  Scenario: Health check returns healthy status
+    Given the server is running
+    When I request the health endpoint
+    Then the response should be "{\"status\":\"healthy\"}"
+
+  @advanced @api
+  Scenario: Health check with authentication
+    Given the server is running with auth enabled
+    When I request the health endpoint with valid token
+    Then the response should be "{\"status\":\"healthy\"}"
+```
+
+## Test Execution Scripts
+
+### Feature-Specific Testing
+```bash
+# Test specific feature
+./scripts/test-feature.sh greet
+
+# Test with specific tags
+./scripts/test-by-tag.sh @smoke greet
+```
+
+### Tag-Based Testing
+```bash
+# Run smoke tests for all features
+./scripts/test-by-tag.sh @smoke
+
+# Run critical auth tests
+./scripts/test-by-tag.sh @critical auth
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### Smoke Test Pipeline
+```yaml
+- name: Run Smoke Tests
+  run: godog --tags=@smoke features/
+```
+
+### Critical Path Testing
+```yaml
+- name: Run Critical Tests
+  run: godog --tags=@critical features/
+```
+
+### Feature-Specific Testing
+```yaml
+- name: Test Auth Feature
+  run: ./scripts/test-feature.sh auth
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Tag consistently** - Apply tags consistently across similar scenarios
+2. **Prioritize tests** - Use priority tags to identify critical tests
+3. **Document tags** - Keep this documentation updated with new tags
+4. **Review tags** - Regularly review tag usage to ensure relevance
+5. **CI/CD optimization** - Use tags to optimize CI/CD pipeline execution times
+
+## Tag Reference
+
+| Tag | Purpose | Example Usage |

+Feature: JWT Secret Retention Policy
+  As a system administrator
+  I want automatic cleanup of expired JWT secrets
+  So that we can maintain security while ensuring system performance
+
+  Background:
+    Given the server is running with JWT secret retention configured
+    And the default JWT TTL is 24 hours
+    And the retention factor is 2.0
+    And the maximum retention is 72 hours
+
+  Scenario: Automatic cleanup of expired secrets
+    Given a primary JWT secret exists
+    And I add a secondary JWT secret with 1 hour expiration
+    When I wait for the retention period to elapse
+    Then the expired secondary secret should be automatically removed
+    And the primary secret should remain active
+    And I should see cleanup event in logs
+
+  Scenario: Secret retention based on TTL factor
+    Given the JWT TTL is set to 2 hours
+    And the retention factor is 3.0
+    When I add a new JWT secret
+    Then the secret should expire after 6 hours
+    And the retention period should be 6 hours
+
+  Scenario: Maximum retention period enforcement
+    Given the JWT TTL is set to 72 hours
+    And the retention factor is 3.0
+    And the maximum retention is 72 hours
+    When I add a new JWT secret
+    Then the retention period should be capped at 72 hours
+    And not exceed the maximum retention limit
+
+  Scenario: Cleanup preserves primary secret
+    Given a primary JWT secret exists
+    And the primary secret is older than retention period
+    When the cleanup job runs
+    Then the primary secret should not be removed
+    And the primary secret should remain active
+
+  @critical @admin-introspection
+  Scenario: Admin metadata endpoint exposes structure without leaking secret values
+    Given a primary JWT secret exists
+    And I add a secondary JWT secret "test-secret-do-not-leak-please-12345"
+    When I request the JWT secrets metadata endpoint
+    Then the status code should be 200
+    And the metadata should contain 2 secrets
+    And the metadata should NOT contain the secret value "test-secret-do-not-leak-please-12345"
+    And every secret in the metadata should have a SHA-256 fingerprint
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Multiple secrets with different ages
+    Given I have 3 JWT secrets of different ages
+    And secret A is 1 hour old (within retention)
+    And secret B is 50 hours old (expired)
+    And secret C is the primary secret
+    When the cleanup job runs
+    Then secret A should be retained
+    And secret B should be removed
+    And secret C should be retained as primary
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Cleanup frequency configuration
+    Given the cleanup interval is set to 30 minutes
+    When I add an expired JWT secret
+    Then it should be removed within 30 minutes
+    And I should see cleanup events every 30 minutes
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Token validation with expired secret
+    Given a user "retentionuser" exists with password "testpass123"
+    And I authenticate with username "retentionuser" and password "testpass123"
+    And I receive a valid JWT token signed with current secret
+    When I wait for the secret to expire
+    And I try to validate the expired token
+    Then the token validation should fail
+    And I should receive "invalid_token" error
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Graceful rotation during retention period
+    Given a user "gracefuluser" exists with password "testpass123"
+    And I authenticate with username "gracefuluser" and password "testpass123"
+    And I receive a valid JWT token signed with primary secret
+    When I add a new secondary secret and rotate to it
+    And I authenticate again with username "gracefuluser" and password "testpass123"
+    Then I should receive a new token signed with secondary secret
+    And the old token should still be valid during retention period
+    And both tokens should work until retention period expires
+
+  Scenario: Configuration validation
+    Given I set retention factor to 0.5
+    When I try to start the server
+    Then I should receive configuration validation error
+    And the error should mention "retention_factor must be ≥ 1.0"
+
+  @todo @nice_to_have
+  Scenario: Metrics for secret retention
+    Given I have enabled Prometheus metrics
+    When the cleanup job removes expired secrets
+    Then I should see "jwt_secrets_expired_total" metric increment
+    And I should see "jwt_secrets_active_count" metric decrease
+    And I should see "jwt_secret_retention_duration_seconds" histogram update
+
+  @todo @nice_to_have
+  Scenario: Log masking for security
+    Given I add a new JWT secret "super-secret-key-123456"
+    When the cleanup job runs
+    Then the logs should show masked secret "supe****123456"
+    And not expose the full secret in logs
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Cleanup with high volume of secrets
+    Given I have 1000 JWT secrets
+    And 300 of them are expired
+    When the cleanup job runs
+    Then it should complete within 100 milliseconds
+    And remove all 300 expired secrets
+    And not impact server performance
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Disabled cleanup via configuration
+    Given I set cleanup interval to 8760 hours
+    When I add expired JWT secrets
+    Then they should not be automatically removed
+    And manual cleanup should still be possible
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Retention period calculation edge cases
+    Given the JWT TTL is 1 hour
+    And the retention factor is 1.0
+    When I add a new JWT secret
+    Then the retention period should be 1 hour
+    And the secret should expire after 1 hour
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Secret validation with retention policy
+    Given I try to add an invalid JWT secret
+    When the secret is less than 16 characters
+    Then I should receive validation error
+    And the error should mention "must be at least 16 characters"
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Cleanup job error handling
+    Given the cleanup job encounters an error
+    When it tries to remove a secret
+    Then it should log the error
+    And continue with remaining secrets
+    And not crash the cleanup process
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Configuration reload without restart
+    Given the server is running with default retention settings
+    When I update the retention factor via configuration
+    Then the new settings should take effect immediately
+    And existing secrets should be reevaluated
+    And cleanup should use new retention periods
+
+  @todo @nice_to_have
+  Scenario: Audit trail for secret operations
+    Given I enable audit logging
+    When I add a new JWT secret
+    Then I should see audit log entry with event type "secret_added"
+    And when the secret is removed by cleanup
+    Then I should see audit log entry with event type "secret_removed"
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Retention policy with token refresh
+    Given a user "refreshuser" exists with password "testpass123"
+    And I authenticate and receive token A
+    When I refresh my token during retention period
+    Then I should receive new token B
+    And token A should still be valid until retention expires
+    And both tokens should work concurrently
+
+  @todo
+  Scenario: Emergency secret rotation
+    Given a security incident requires immediate rotation
+    When I rotate to a new primary secret
+    Then old tokens should be invalidated immediately
+    And new tokens should use the emergency secret
+    And cleanup should remove compromised secrets
+  
+  @todo @nice_to_have
+  Scenario: Monitoring and alerting
+    Given I have monitoring configured
+    When the cleanup job fails repeatedly
+    Then I should receive alert notification
+    And the alert should include error details
+    And suggest remediation steps
