Priority Order for Step Function Implementation

🔴 CRITICAL PRIORITY (Blockers for core functionality)

1. JWT Secret Management
   • theServerIsRunningWithMultipleJWTSecrets() - Setup multiple secrets
   • iShouldReceiveAValidJWTTokenSignedWithThePrimarySecret() - Primary secret validation
   • iValidateAJWTTokenSignedWithTheSecondarySecret() - Secondary secret validation
   • iAddANewSecondaryJWTSecretToTheServer() - Secret addition
   • iAddANewSecondaryJWTSecretAndRotateToIt() - Secret rotation

🟡 HIGH PRIORITY (Core JWT functionality)

2. JWT Retention & Cleanup

   • theDefaultJWTTTLIsHours() - TTL configuration
   • theRetentionFactorIs() - Retention factor setup
   • theMaximumRetentionIsHours() - Max retention limits
   • iAddASecondaryJWTSecretWithHourExpiration() - Expiring secrets
   • iWaitForTheRetentionPeriodToElapse() - Time simulation
   • theExpiredSecondarySecretShouldBeAutomaticallyRemoved() - Auto-cleanup

Implementation Strategy

Phase 1: Core JWT Infrastructure (2-3 days)

• Implement JWT secret management and rotation
• Add retention policy and cleanup functionality
• Create basic authentication endpoints
• Implement core step definitions

Phase 2: User Management (1-2 days)

• Implement user registration and authentication
• Add password reset functionality
• Implement admin authentication
• Add user-related step definitions

Phase 3: Monitoring & Security (1 day)

• Add Prometheus metrics integration
• Implement log masking for security
• Add audit logging
• Implement monitoring step definitions

Phase 4: Edge Cases & Testing (1 day)

• Implement remaining edge case handlers
• Add performance validation
• Complete all step definitions
• Run full test suite validation

Estimation

• Total Effort: 5-7 days
• Critical Path: 2-3 days (JWT core functionality)
• Full Completion: 1 week

Success Criteria

• All 54 scenarios passing
• 0 undefined steps
• 0 pending steps
• Full test coverage of JWT secret rotation and retention
• Complete user authentication workflow
• Comprehensive monitoring and security features
