# MASTER SPECIFICATION — Alaminn.info Higher Study Platform
**Consolidated from every instruction issued from project inception through 2026-07-19.**

- **Document version**: CONSOLIDATED-1.0
- **Date**: 2026-07-19
- **Authority**: This single document supersedes every prior partial spec, prompt fragment, worklog note, and inline correction. When any other artifact conflicts with this file, **this file wins**, except where this file itself records a `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Compiled by**: Z.ai Code orchestrator, at the explicit user request: *"REVIEW EVERY INSTRUCTION FROM THE BEGINNING … Create one consolidated master specification … Do not silently ignore any previous instruction."*

---

## Part A — Authority & Conflict-Resolution Rules

### A.1 Ordering principle
Instructions are layered. Later explicit user instructions override earlier ones, but **every** earlier instruction must be recorded here and either marked authoritative, marked `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`, or marked `CANCELLED`. Nothing is silently dropped.

### A.2 Conflict-resolution protocol (per user's explicit 2026-07-19 instruction)
When two instructions conflict:
1. **Follow the latest explicit instruction.**
2. **Record the older instruction.**
3. **Mark the older instruction `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.**
4. **Explain which requirement is now authoritative and why.**

All such resolutions are catalogued in **Part N — Corrections & Replaced Decisions** and **Part O — Cancelled Requirements**.

### A.3 Source layers (highest authority first)
1. The user's most recent explicit message (2026-07-19 review request).
2. The user's prior explicit task: *"inspect the existing project, preserve all working functionality, implement the complete Higher Study platform, integrate it securely with ALO Education and English Learning, run all production checks, repair all confirmed issues and deliver a deployable production package with verifiable evidence."*
3. The user's frustration escalation: *"why not completed full work ? done full project with missing any single work."*
4. Earlier user requests (path-change guide, mobile/PWA guide, two maintenance jobs, "please done all missing work").
5. The original 3,547-line master prompt for the Alaminn.info V5 executive authority platform.
6. The immutable environment/system rules (Next.js 16, Bun, Tailwind 4, Prisma, sandbox port 3000, Agent Browser self-verification, etc.).

---

## Part B — Project Identity & Brand (immutable, from V5 master prompt)

### B.1 Identity
- **Platform name**: Alaminn.info
- **Principal**: Al Aminn (single named individual; no conflicting names anywhere)
- **Tagline**: "Transforming Strategy Into Scalable Operations, Growth and Intelligent Systems"
- **Domain (production)**: `https://alaminn.info`
- **No fabricated metrics.** Every statistic, ranking, tuition figure, deadline, and outcome must carry an `officialSourceUrl` or be marked as illustrative.

### B.2 Color system
- **Orange family**: `#F26113` (primary accent — Momentum)
- **Blue family**: `#0B63CE` (secondary accent — Intelligence)
- **Ink neutrals**: slate/zinc scale for text and surfaces
- **Gradients** (CSS variables): `grad-intelligence`, `grad-momentum`, `grad-connected`, `grad-ambient`
- **Dark mode**: full light/dark theme support via `next-themes`

> **CONFLICT RESOLUTION — blue color usage**: The general environment rule says *"Z.ai avoids using indigo or blue colors unless specified in the user's request."* The V5 master prompt **explicitly specifies** `#0B63CE` blue as a brand color. The user's explicit brand spec **wins** and is recorded here as authoritative. The general avoidance rule is `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION` for this project only.

### B.3 Typography
- **Display**: Manrope (via `next/font`)
- **Body**: Inter (via `next/font`)
- **Editorial**: DM Serif Display (via `next/font`)
- Full type scale with tabular numerals for stats.

### B.4 Design tokens
Radius, shadows (including `shadow-blue`, `shadow-orange`), borders, blur, motion durations and easings, and reduced-motion support are defined as CSS variables in `src/app/globals.css`.

### B.5 Visual language
- Growth Signal Lines
- Intelligence Nodes
- **Operating Constellation** (animated SVG hero: center = Al Aminn, 8 surrounding nodes)
- Momentum Marker
- Architectural Cards

### B.6 Ecosystem companies (recorded for integration context)
- **ALO Education** — international education consultancy (primary integration partner for Higher Study referrals and English Learning referrals). Official site: `https://aloeducation.com`
- **ALO Labs** — technology & AI
- **TECH360** — digital solutions

## Part C — Technology Stack (non-negotiable)

### C.1 Core framework (NON-NEGOTIABLE — cannot be changed)
| Layer | Technology | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Framework | **Next.js 16** with App Router | Required |
| Language | **TypeScript 5** strict | Required |
| Runtime | **Bun** | `bun run dev`, `bun run lint`, etc. |
| Styling | **Tailwind CSS 4** | With CSS variables |
| UI library | **shadcn/ui** (New York style) | Use existing `src/components/ui/*`, do not rebuild |
| Icons | **lucide-react** | |
| Database ORM | **Prisma** | SQLite (dev) / MariaDB (prod) |
| Auth | **Custom HMAC-SHA256 session cookies** | Real implementation in `src/lib/auth.ts` (scrypt hashing, `timingSafeEqual`, per-IP lockout). `next-auth` dependency was removed as unused dead weight. |
| Client state | **Zustand** | |
| Server state | **TanStack Query** | |
| Animation | **Framer Motion** | |
| Forms | **@hookform/resolvers** + zod | |
| Email | **@react-email/components** | |
| Internationalization | **next-intl** | Available |
| AI SDK | **z-ai-web-dev-sdk** | **Backend only** — never client-side |

### C.2 Caching decision
- **Local memory caching only.**
- No MySQL/Redis middleware.

> **CONFLICT RESOLUTION**: The general environment rule once listed "MySQL, Redis" as caching options. The authoritative project rule overrides this: **local memory caching only**. The MySQL/Redis option is `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`. (MariaDB is still used as the **production database**, just not as a cache layer.)

### C.3 Middleware convention (CRITICAL)
- **Use `src/proxy.ts` as the Next.js 16 middleware.**
- **Do NOT use `src/middleware.ts`.**

> **CONFLICT RESOLUTION**: An obsolete `src/middleware.ts` was created early in the project and conflicted with `src/proxy.ts`. Per the Next.js 16 convention and the maintenance job 2026-07-15, `src/middleware.ts` was **deleted**. The `src/middleware.ts` approach is `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`. **Authoritative: `src/proxy.ts`.**

### C.4 Dev server
- Port **3000** for the auto dev server (sandbox). Never `bun run build`.
- Port **3001** is used in the production systemd unit (Bun standalone).
- `bun run dev` must always run in the background; avoid duplicate instances.

### C.5 Routing constraint
- The user can only see the `/` route defined in `src/app/page.tsx` for the **marketing/executive platform**.
- The Higher Study platform (`/higher-study/*`) and English Learning platform (`/english-learning/*`) are **additional user-visible routes** added by explicit later user instruction (see Part D). These are authoritative expansions, not violations.

> **CONFLICT RESOLUTION**: The early single-`/`-route constraint is `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION` by the user's explicit Higher Study + English Learning task. **Authoritative: multi-route App Router structure** with `/` as the executive homepage and `/higher-study/*`, `/english-learning/*`, `/admin/*`, `/api/*` as full route trees.

### C.6 API conventions
- All API requests use **relative paths only** (e.g., `fetch('/api/v1/inquiries')`).
- Cross-service requests must use the `?XTransformPort={Port}` query parameter.
- Never write `http://localhost:{Port}` in any fetch or WebSocket URL.
- WebSocket: frontend uses `io("/?XTransformPort={Port}")`; backend socket.io lives in a mini-service on its own port.

### C.7 Code style
- TypeScript throughout, strict typing.
- ES6+ import/export.
- shadcn/ui preferred over custom implementations.
- `'use client'` / `'use server'` directives where appropriate.
- Prisma schema primitive types cannot be lists.
- Prisma schema lives in `prisma/`.
- DB client file lives in `db/`.
- Server-side library files do **not** include `'use client'`.
- All imports use the `@/` alias (except external modules like `crypto`, `next/server`, `@prisma/client`).

## Part C1 — AI & Search Skills Integration

Eight skills are available through the **Skill** tool and the **z-ai-web-dev-sdk** (backend only). Each must be invoked by first reading its `SKILL.md`, then implementing via the SDK on the server.

| Skill | Purpose | Where used in this project |
|---|---|---|
| **LLM** | Large language model chat / text generation | AI Workspace in Command Center; AI Task creation |
| **VLM** | Vision language model — image understanding | E2E QA self-verification (hero, sections, modals) |
| **ASR** | Speech-to-text | Available for future voice-inquiry capture |
| **TTS** | Text-to-speech | Available for future accessibility narration |
| **Image-Generation** | AI image creation | Executive portrait (`/public/brand/portrait.png`); placeholder generation |
| **Video-Generation** | AI video creation | Available for future hero/section background video |
| **Web-Search** | Real-time web search | Available for future "latest news" widgets |
| **Page-Reader** | Web content extraction | Available for future external-article embedding |

### C1.1 Skill usage rules (non-negotiable)
1. Before using any specific Skill, **MUST** first read its corresponding `SKILL.md`.
2. `z-ai-web-dev-sdk` runs **backend only** — never import it in a `'use client'` file.
3. Skills are invoked via the `Skill(command="…")` tool in the orchestrator; subagents follow the loaded skill instructions.

## Part G — All Requested Modules & Workflows

### G.1 Inquiry workflow (21-step backend pipeline)
Validate → honeypot spam check → rate limit → normalize email/phone → duplicate detection → contact upsert → inquiry creation with reference → opportunity OR student-referral routing → follow-up task → audit log. Returns `{ success, message, data: { reference } }`.

### G.2 Opportunity pipeline
14-stage kanban: `NEW → QUALIFIED → NEEDS_ANALYSIS → PROPOSAL → NEGOTIATION → COMMITTED → WON/LOST` (plus intermediate stages).

### G.3 Partnership pipeline
11-stage partnership lifecycle.

### G.4 Student referral pipeline
11-stage student-services referral lifecycle (routes to ALO Education).

### G.5 AI governance workflow

### G.6 Higher Study apply workflow (5-phase consent-gated)
1. Program selection → 2. Eligibility confirmation → 3. Consent to share with ALO Education → 4. Context summary (no PII) → 5. Signed referral handoff to `aloeducation.com`.

### G.7 Higher Study referral workflow
Anonymous visitor clicks "Apply through ALO Education" → backend creates `HigherStudyReferral` row with HMAC-SHA256 signed token + IP hash + device category + 24h expiry → returns target URL with `referralCode` only → ALO Education calls `/api/v1/higher-study/referral/[code]/confirm` to verify → status transitions: `transferred → completed | failed | expired`.

### G.8 English Learning referral workflow
Same HMAC pattern; target `https://aloeducation.com/english-learning/start?source=ALAMINN_ENGLISH_COURSE_PACKAGE&referralCode=…&courseSlug=…`.

### G.9 English Learning practice-test workflow
Start test → load questions → Previous/Next navigation → submit → score → persist `EnglishLearningProgress` → return results.

### G.10 Schedule Meeting workflow
Visitor picks slot → `POST /api/v1/meetings` creates `MeetingRequest` → admin sees in `/admin/meetings` → confirm/decline → audit log.

### G.11 Command Center approval workflow
AI task created in `awaiting-approval` → admin opens Approvals tab → Approve / Revision / Reject → `AiApproval` row created → `AiTask.status` updated → audit log.

### G.12 Newsletter workflow
Subscribe with email + consent → `NewsletterSubscriber` with token → double-opt-in (token verification) → audit log.

### G.13 Image optimization workflow
`bun run images:optimize` generates blur placeholders + modern (WebP/AVIF) variants for all images in `public/`.

### G.14 Backup/restore workflow
`bun run db:backup` → `db/backups/{timestamp}.db`. `bun run db:restore` → restore from chosen backup.

### G.15 Observability workflow
Health monitor mini-service (port 3002) polls `/api/health/deep` periodically → `SystemHealth` rows → alerts on degradation.

---

## Part K — All Security Requirements

### K.1 Authentication & authorization
- **Custom HMAC-SHA256 auth** with credentials provider (session cookies signed with `AUTH_SECRET`, scrypt password hashing, `crypto.timingSafeEqual` for both signature and password comparison, per-IP lockout after 5 failures / 15 min).
- Session-based auth for admin CRM.
- RBAC roles (Part F.1) enforced server-side on every `/api/v1/admin/*` and `/api/v1/{higher-study,english-learning}/admin/*` route.
- Initial admin user seeded via `ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_EMAIL` + `ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_PASSWORD` env vars.
- Command Center requires auth; unauthorized actions return 403.

### K.2 Referral security
- HMAC-SHA256 signed tokens using `crypto.timingSafeEqual` for confirmation.
- 25-field PII blocklist in context validator.
- 24-hour token expiry with background expiry sweep.
- IP hashing + device categorization for audit (no raw PII stored).

### K.3 Inquiry security
- Honeypot field spam detection.
- Rate limiting per IP.
- Email/phone normalization.
- Duplicate detection (same email or phone within 24h).

### K.4 API security
- All admin endpoints behind auth + RBAC.
- No secrets in `GET /api/health/deep`.
- Consistent JSON envelope; no stack traces in production errors.
- CORS restricted to known origins.

### K.5 Security test suite
- `scripts/security-tests.ts` — **22 tests** against port 3001 (dev) and port 3000 (standalone production build).
- All 22 must PASS on both ports.
- Covers: auth bypass, RBAC enforcement, rate limit, honeypot, PII leakage in referral URLs, HMAC token forgery, expired token rejection, admin endpoint protection, health endpoint secret safety, CORS, CSRF, input validation, SQL injection patterns, XSS sanitization, directory traversal, method override abuse, header injection, cookie security, cache-control on auth routes, referrer-policy, content-security-policy baseline, and secure bootstrapping.

### K.6 Secret hygiene
- `deploy/.env.production.example` — template only, no real values.
- `.env` (real) never committed; excluded from production archive.
- Secret scan on archive: 0 hardcoded secrets.

---

## Part M — All Testing Requirements

### M.1 Quality gates (all must pass)
| Gate | Command | Target |
|---|---|---|
| ESLint | `bun run lint` | 0 errors, 0 warnings |
| TypeScript | `bun run typecheck` | 0 errors |
| Unit/integration tests | `bun run test` | 171/171 pass (8 files) |
| Security tests (dev) | `bun run security:test` (port 3001) | 22/22 pass |
| Security tests (prod build) | `bun run security:test` (port 3000) | 22/22 pass |
| DB verification | `bun run db:verify` | 0 anomalies |
| Build | `bun run build` | Compiled successfully |
| E2E (Agent Browser) | manual via Skill `agent-browser` | Page renders, all core flows work, no runtime errors |

### M.2 Agent Browser self-verification (MANDATORY per environment rule)
1. Open `/` and every key route (`/higher-study`, `/english-learning`, detail pages, `/admin/login`).
2. Confirm visual rendering (no blank screen, no hydration crash).
3. Exercise golden paths: contact form submit, newsletter subscribe, save/compare universities, start practice test, apply referral flow.
4. Confirm API responses render real data (not empty skeletons).
5. Check sticky footer on short + long pages.
6. Cross-check `dev.log` for runtime errors during the visit.
7. Fix + re-verify until clean.

### M.3 Test coverage
- Vitest with coverage.
- Critical paths covered: inquiry pipeline, newsletter, meeting request, AI task + approval, Higher Study referral HMAC, English Learning referral HMAC, eligibility checks, practice-test scoring, saved-items CRUD.

## Part N — Corrections & Replaced Decisions

> Each entry records the older instruction, marks it `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`, and states the authoritative replacement.

### N.1 Middleware file location
- **Older instruction (early project)**: Use `src/middleware.ts` for Next.js middleware.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Use `src/proxy.ts` (Next.js 16 convention). `src/middleware.ts` was deleted in maintenance job 2026-07-15.
- **Reason**: Next.js 16 renamed the middleware entry to `proxy.ts`; keeping both caused routing conflicts.

### N.2 Caching layer
- **Older instruction (environment rule)**: "Caching: Local memory caching, no additional middleware (MySQL, Redis, etc.)" — but earlier drafts mentioned MySQL/Redis as options.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Local memory caching only. MariaDB remains the production **database**, not a cache.
- **Reason**: Project standardization on a single, dependency-free caching strategy.

### N.3 Single-route constraint
- **Older instruction (early environment rule)**: "user can only see the / route defined in the src/app/page.tsx. do not write any other route."
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Multi-route App Router structure. `/` remains the executive homepage; `/higher-study/*`, `/english-learning/*`, `/admin/*`, `/api/*` are explicit later additions.
- **Reason**: User's explicit Higher Study + English Learning task requires multiple public routes. The single-route rule is preserved **only** in the sense that the executive homepage itself must remain a single `/` page (no separate `/about`, `/expertise` etc. were required by the V5 prompt — though a few were later added as standalone routes for SEO; those are allowed expansions).

### N.4 Color palette (blue usage)
- **Older instruction (environment rule)**: "Z.ai avoids using indigo or blue colors unless specified in the user's request."
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION` (for this project only).
- **Authoritative**: Brand blue `#0B63CE` is a first-class brand color per the V5 master prompt.
- **Reason**: User explicitly specified the orange+blue brand system. The general avoidance rule yields to explicit user brand spec.

### N.5 Database choice
- **Older instruction (early draft)**: SQLite-only dev.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: SQLite (dev) / MariaDB (prod).
- **Reason**: Production deployment requires a networked RDBMS; MariaDB chosen for cPanel compatibility.

### N.6 Command Center accessibility
- **Older instruction (V5 initial build)**: Command Center is open (preview mode) with RBAC stated as future work.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Command Center requires authentication via the custom HMAC session system; all admin endpoints enforce RBAC through `requirePermission()`.
- **Reason**: Security audit (Task 10 in worklog) flagged the open Command Center as a critical security hole and fixed it.

### N.7 Health endpoint
- **Older instruction (early draft)**: `GET /api/health/deep` could expose config.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: `GET /api/health/deep` is safe — never exposes secrets; returns only db status, content counts, agent hub status, security posture.
- **Reason**: Security audit (Task 10, audit §19) corrected this.

### N.8 Prisma orderBy form (Prisma 6.19+ compatibility)
- **Older instruction**: Use object-form multi-key `orderBy: { field1: 'asc', field2: 'desc' }`.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Use array form `orderBy: [{ field1: 'asc' }, { field2: 'desc' }]`.
- **Reason**: Prisma 6.19+ requires the array form for multi-key ordering. 6 Higher Study routes and several English Learning routes were refactored in the FULL-PROJECT-COMPLETION-001 task.

### N.9 Article body representation
- **Older instruction**: Articles stored as plain strings.
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Articles support markdown bodies, rendered with reading-progress bar in the insights modal, plus `articleBody` in JSON-LD.
- **Reason**: Task 7 (worklog) upgraded long-form article rendering.

### N.10 Contact form semantics
- **Older instruction**: Contact form used `<div>` + `<button>` (no `<form>` element).
- **Mark**: `REPLACED_BY_LATER_INSTRUCTION`.
- **Authoritative**: Wrap step content in a real `<form aria-label="Multi-step inquiry form">` with `onSubmit` routing; step buttons remain `type="button"`.
- **Reason**: Accessibility + Enter-key submission (Task 4d in worklog).

---

## Part O — Cancelled Requirements

> Requirements that were proposed but explicitly cancelled or never adopted.

### O.1 Capacitor native wrapper
- **Proposed**: `MOBILE-RUN-GUIDE.md` mentioned Capacitor as an option for native iOS/Android wrappers.
- **Status**: **CANCELLED** in favour of PWA-only mobile delivery.
- **Reason**: PWA with service worker + manifest meets the offline/installable requirement without native build toolchain. The guide documents Capacitor as an *optional* path; it is not implemented.

### O.2 Redis pub/sub for mini-service communication
- **Proposed**: Early mini-service design considered Redis pub/sub.
- **Status**: **CANCELLED**.
- **Reason**: Local memory caching + HTTP `?XTransformPort=` routing suffices; Redis would violate the no-additional-middleware rule.

### O.3 Static `/public/robots.txt`
- **Proposed**: Original static `robots.txt`.
- **Status**: **CANCELLED / REPLACED**.
- **Authoritative**: `src/app/robots.ts` (Next.js metadata route) generates `robots.txt` dynamically. Static file deleted in Task 4a.
- **Reason**: Static file shadowed the dynamic route.

### O.4 Fabricated metrics on impact/case-study cards
- **Proposed**: Early V5 draft allowed illustrative metrics.
- **Status**: **CANCELLED**.
- **Authoritative**: No fabricated statistics. Impact records use outcome narratives + evidence status + confidentiality level.
- **Reason**: Truth & Evidence Governance (spec §4).

### O.5 SMTP email sending in sandbox
- **Proposed**: Wire an SMTP service for the 15 email templates.
- **Status**: **DEFERRED** (not cancelled — see Part R).
- **Reason**: No SMTP credentials in sandbox. Templates exist (`@react-email/components`); production `.env.production.example` documents `SMTP_*` vars.

---

## Part P — Recurring Operations

### P.1 webDevReview cron (MANDATORY after website work)
- **Schedule**: every 15 minutes.
- **Kind**: `webDevReview`.
- **Payload**: standardized review prompt (see system rule) — read `worklog.md`, assess status, run agent-browser QA, prioritize bug fixes, then propose new features, improve styling, add functionality, update worklog.

### P.2 Sandbox session bootstrap
- At the start of every sandbox session:
  1. `mkdir -p db/backups`
  2. `bun run db:seed` (restores Higher Study + English Learning + CRM demo data)
  3. Start dev server in background: `bun run dev` (port 3000)
  4. Verify via `curl http://localhost:3000/api/health`

### P.3 Mini-service startup
- Each mini-service runs in background via `bun --hot`:
  - `mini-services/health-monitor` (port 3002)
  - `mini-services/email-worker` (port 3003)
  - `mini-services/notification-service` (port 3004)
  - `mini-services/audit-worker` (port 3005)
- All must be running for full functionality.

## Part R — Open Items / Next-Phase Priorities

> These are **not** silent omissions — they are explicitly recorded as deferred or low-priority.

### R.1 English Learning referral confirmation callback
- Higher Study has `GET /api/v1/higher-study/referral/[code]/confirm`.
- English Learning referral **creation** is verified; an explicit **confirmation callback** endpoint (`/api/v1/english-learning/referral/[code]/confirm`) is a natural parity addition.
- **Priority**: Medium.

### R.2 SMTP email sending
- 15 email templates designed with `@react-email/components`; sending not wired in sandbox (no SMTP credentials).
- Production env template documents `SMTP_*` vars.
- **Priority**: Medium (production-only).

### R.3 Analytics + UTM capture
- `AnalyticsEvent` model + `POST /api/v1/analytics` exist.
- Client-side UTM capture and privacy-aware analytics dashboard widgets can be deepened.
- **Priority**: Low.

### R.4 Higher Study admin UI in `/admin/*`
- Higher Study admin is currently **API-only** (CRUD via `/api/v1/higher-study/admin/*`), surfaced through the Command Center drawer.
- A dedicated `/admin/higher-study/*` page tree (mirroring the English Learning pattern) is a future enhancement.
- **Priority**: Low.

### R.5 Sandbox DB reset mitigation
- `db/custom.db` resets between sandbox sessions. Mitigation = run `bun run db:seed` at session start (Part P.2). This is a **sandbox-only** artifact; production MariaDB is persistent.
- **Priority**: N/A (documented mitigation in place).

### R.6 Lighthouse optimization pass
- Target 92+ on Performance/Accessibility/Best-Practices/SEO.
- Image modern formats (WebP/AVIF) already generated; lazy-loading and below-the-fold code-splitting can be deepened.
- **Priority**: Low.

### R.7 Native mobile wrapper (Capacitor)
- Cancelled in favour of PWA (Part O.1). Re-openable if native features (push notifications, camera) become required.
- **Priority**: Cancelled.
