### How This Project Is Built

```
                 Salesforce API (v63.0)
                 =====================
                 The "finished product"
                 The reference implementation
                        |
                        | Frontend built against real SF API
                        v
            +-------------------------+
            |   Frontend (React)      |  <-- SOURCE OF TRUTH for API contracts
            |   Every API call is a   |      Verified against working Salesforce
            |   SPECIFICATION of what |      DO NOT change unless SF API changes
            |   the backend must do   |
            +-------------------------+
                        |
                        | Backend implements the same surface
                        v
            +-------------------------+
            |   Backend (Go + TiDB)   |  <-- IMPLEMENTATION of the spec
            |   Goal: match what the  |      Missing routes = unfinished work
            |   frontend expects      |      NOT bugs or drift
            +-------------------------+
```

**Analogy**: Build the nut against a finished bolt (Salesforce), then build your own bolt (backend) to fit the nut (frontend).

### Development Constraints

1. **Frontend is the API contract specification.**
   Every endpoint in `ApiEndpoints.ts`, every call in `flows.ts`, `schemas.ts`, `data.ts`
   was built against a working Salesforce instance. These are not guesses — they are
   verified contracts.

2. **Frontend MUST NOT change unless verified against Salesforce API.**
   If a frontend API call follows Salesforce conventions, it is correct by definition.
   Changing it to match backend convenience breaks the contract and defeats the purpose.

3. **Backend changes must preserve frontend behavior.**
   The backend's job is to implement the surface the frontend expects. If the frontend
   calls `/tooling/query?q=SELECT...FROM FlowDefinition`, the backend must handle that
   exact URL with that exact SOQL — not offer a different endpoint and ask the frontend
   to change.

4. **Missing backend routes are unfinished features, not bugs.**
   When the frontend calls `/tooling/query` and gets 404, that means the backend hasn't
   implemented this Salesforce-compatible route yet. The frontend is correct.

### Backend Implementation Completeness

| API Surface | Frontend expects | Backend status |
|-------------|-----------------|----------------|
| SObject CRUD (`/sobjects/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| SOQL Query (`/query`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Search (`/search`, `/parameterizedSearch`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Composite API (`/composite/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Bulk API v2 (`/jobs/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Analytics (`/analytics/*`) | Yes | **Complete** (table name bugs fixed) |
| UI API (`/ui-api/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| OAuth (`/services/oauth2/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| CometD Streaming (`/cometd/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Flow Typed CRUD (`/tooling/sobjects/FlowDefinition`, `Flow`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Flow Execution (`/actions/custom/flow/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Folders (`/folders/*`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| Quick Actions | Yes | **Complete** |
| Approvals | Yes | **Complete** |
| **Tooling Query** (`/tooling/query?q=`) | Yes | **Complete** |
| **Tooling sObject: ValidationRule** | Yes | **Complete** |
| **Tooling sObject: CustomObject** | Yes (update) | **Complete** |
| **Tooling sObject: CustomField** | Yes (create) | **Complete** |
| **Tooling sObject: ProfileLayout** | Yes | **Complete** |
| **Tooling sObject: FlowTestCoverage** | Yes (via query) | **NOT IMPLEMENTED** |

**Completion: ~80%.** Core CRUD, query, composite, analytics, streaming all work. The gap is Tooling API — metadata management operations that the frontend uses for schema/field/validation/layout/flow administration.

## 3. Critical Execution Paths

### 3.1 Backend CRUD Request Path (CreateRecord)

```
HTTP POST /services/data/v63.0/sobjects/{name}
  |
  +- [9 Middleware] RequestID -> Logger -> Tracing -> Recovery -> ErrorHandler
  |                 -> Security -> CORS -> Metrics -> RateLimit
  |
  +- [Auth] RequireAuth -> ValidateSession -> UserSession in context
  |
  +- [Handler] sobject_records.go:121 CreateRecord()
  |   +- Parse :sobject, bind JSON, extract UserSession
  |   +- svcMgr.Metadata.GetSchema() -- validate object exists
  |   +- validateInput() -- check field names against schema
  |
  +- [Service] persistence_insert.go:23 Insert()
  |   +- prepareOperation() -- permission check
  |   +- applyDefaults() -- default values from metadata
  |   +- generateSystemFields() -- Id, CreatedDate, etc.
  |   +- schemaValidator.ValidateSchemaCompliance()
  |   +- validateQueueAssignment()
  |   +- validatePolymorphicLookups() -- WARNING: per-field DB query
  |   +- RunInTransaction():
  |       +- generateAutoNumbers()
  |       +- publishRecordEvent(BeforeCreate) -- sync, can abort
  |       +- filterToLogicalFields()
  |       +- repo.Insert() -> [Repository]
  |       +- rollup.ProcessRollups() -- same TX
  |       +- outbox.EnqueueEvent(RecordCreated) -- async via outbox
  |
  +- [Repository] record_repository.go:174 Insert()
      +- Load schema for logical->physical aliasing
      +- Flatten JSON maps
      +- query.Insert() builder with column aliasing
      +- ExecContext() -> TiDB
```

**Total hops**: ~13 function calls | **Complexity**: Complex

### 3.2 Backend CRUD Request Path (GetRecord) -- N+1 Problem

```
HTTP GET /services/data/v63.0/sobjects/{name}/{id}
  |
  +- [Handler] sobject_records.go:17 GetRecord()
  |   +- svc.Persistence.Get()
  |
  +- [Service] persistence_get.go Get()
  |   +- repo.FindOne()
  |
  +- [Repository] record_repository.go FindOne()
  |   +- Single DB query
  |
  +- [Handler] sobject_records.go:72 hydrateLookups()
      +- WARNING: FOR EACH reference field with a value:
          +- svc.Persistence.Get() -- N+1 QUERY!
              +- 5 lookup fields = 5 additional DB queries
```

**Total hops**: ~8 + N | **Bottleneck**: `hydrateLookups()` N+1 queries

### 3.3 Frontend Request Path

```
User Click -> Page Component (ObjectView.tsx)
  |
  +- useObjectMetadata(objectApiName) -- React Query, 10min staleTime
  |   +- metadataAPI.getSchema() -> GET /sobjects/{name}/describe
  |
  +- useCreateRecord() -- useMutation wrapper
  |   +- dataAPI.createRecord(objectName, data)
  |   |   +- apiClient.post() -> POST /sobjects/{name}
  |   +- onSuccess: invalidate list cache, show toast
  |   +- onError: show error toast
  |
  +- APIClient.request() -- native fetch (NOT Axios)
      +- Inject: X-Request-ID (UUID), traceparent (W3C), Authorization
      +- Error: parse SF-format [{errorCode, message}]
      +- 401: dispatch auth:unauthorized event
```

**Total hops**: 5 | **Complexity**: Simple

### 3.4 Metadata Engine Path

```
[Build Time]
system_tables.json -> cmd/codegen -> 7 generated files (Go + TS)

[Boot Time]
//go:embed system_tables.json
  -> InitializeSchema() -- DDL reconciliation, 2-pass metadata registration
    -> MetadataService.RefreshCache()
      -> Load ALL schemas from _System_Object + _System_Field
      -> Build in-memory maps (schemaMap, fieldMap, validationRulesMap, ...)
      -> WARNING: Full write lock during refresh (blocks all reads)

[Runtime]
MetadataService.GetSchema(name) -> O(1) map lookup (RWMutex read lock)

[Frontend]
useObjectMetadata() -> React Query (10min staleTime)
  -> GET /sobjects/{name}/describe -> MetadataService.GetSchema()
    -> LayoutRenderer iterates layout.sections[].rows[].items[]
      -> InlineEditField per field with type/metadata
      -> WARNING: Case-insensitive Array.find() per field per render (O(n*m))
```

### 3.5 Code Generation Path

```
make generate
  +- cd backend && go run ./cmd/codegen
      +- Source: internal/bootstrap/system_tables.json (6,594 lines)
         + api_contracts.json
      +- Output (10 files, 7,203 generated lines):

| `components/` | 35 | 1 | **2.9%** Very Low |
| **Total** | **400** | **35** | **8.75%** Very Low |

### 4.4 Critical Test Gaps

- **No frontend tests in CI** -- GitHub Actions only runs backend tests
- ~~**Integration tests not isolated**~~ -- Fixed in PR #226: 12 test files now gated with `//go:build integration`
- **No coverage thresholds** -- CI does not enforce minimum coverage
- **No browser E2E tests** -- No Playwright/Cypress
- **Core frontend features have zero tests**: record (21 files), auth (4), dashboard (10), admin (32)

## 5. Code Quality

### 5.1 ~~CRITICAL: Backend Build Failure~~ (Fixed)

~~`registerRoutes()` undefined, backend could not compile.~~ Fixed in PR #226 — `routes.go` restored, build passes.

### 5.2 Dependency Vulnerabilities (Frontend)

~~9 vulnerabilities (4 High) — Fixed.~~ axios removed (dead dependency), flatted bumped to 3.4.2, dompurify bumped to 3.3.2.

| Package | Severity | Status |
|---------|----------|--------|
| ~~`axios 1.0.0-1.13.4`~~ | ~~High~~ | **Removed** (dead dependency) |
| ~~`flatted <=3.4.1`~~ | ~~High~~ | **Fixed** (bumped to 3.4.2) |
| ~~`minimatch`~~ | ~~High (x2)~~ | **Fixed** (resolved via dependency updates) |
| ~~`dompurify 3.1.3-3.3.1`~~ | ~~Moderate~~ | **Fixed** (bumped to 3.3.2) |
| ~~`ajv <6.14.0`~~ | ~~Moderate~~ | **Fixed** (resolved via dependency updates) |
| `esbuild <=0.24.2` | Moderate | Open (dev dependency only) |
| ~~`markdown-it`~~ | ~~Moderate~~ | **Fixed** (resolved via dependency updates) |

**Current state**: Only 2 moderate dev-dependency vulnerabilities remain (esbuild/vite).

### 5.3 Inconsistent Error Handling

| Issue | Data | Files |
|-------|------|-------|
| ~~`%v` instead of `%w` (breaks error chain)~~ | ~~10+ locations~~ | Fixed in PR #226 (analytics) |
| ~~Raw `errors.New()` share~~ | **COMPLETE** — Error handling is now unified. All production code uses typed errors from `pkg/errors/`. Two error packages still exist (`pkg/errors` and `pkg/apierr`) but all error creation uses `pkg/errors` constructors. Only ~1 `scripts/` test helper error remains (intentionally excluded). | **Fixed** |
| Two competing error packages | `pkg/errors` vs `pkg/apierr` | Overlapping responsibilities |
| OAuth handler uses `gin.H{}` non-standard format | 10 locations | `rest/oauth_handler.go` |
| Frontend ad-hoc catch blocks | Multiple locations | features/ |

### 5.4 Code Quality Metrics

~~**TypeScript `any` usage**: 48 occurrences (31 `: any` + 17 `as any`) across production code~~ **Fixed** — All 48 occurrences replaced with proper types. 0 remaining. PR #261.

**Oversized functions (>100 lines)**: 15 functions, largest is 406 lines (`testhelpers/schema.go`)

~~**Excessive useState**: CreateFieldWizard (19), ResourceModal (17), useDashboard (14), MetadataRecordList (14), MetadataRecordDetail (14), useReportBuilder (14)~~ **Fixed** — All 6 components refactored to useReducer: CreateFieldWizard (PR #267), ResourceModal (PR #279), useDashboard (PR #283), MetadataRecordList (PR #285), MetadataRecordDetail (PR #287), useReportBuilder (PR #289).

**Excessive Props (>15)**: RecordListHeader (23), RecordListTable (19), UIRegistry (18)

**Oversized files**:
| File | Lines |
|------|-------|
| `infrastructure/persistence/` (63 files) | 12,318 |
| `interfaces/rest/` (61 files) | 13,233 |
| ~~`infrastructure/api/flows.ts`~~ | ~~787~~ **Fixed** — split to 6 files, max 297L (PR #276) |
| ~~`infrastructure/api/data.ts`~~ | ~~782~~ **Fixed** — split to 8 files, max 183L (PR #281) |

### 5.5 Architecture Violations

| Violation | Evidence | Impact |
|-----------|----------|--------|
| `ServiceManager` imports infrastructure + interfaces | `service_manager_init.go` imports persistence + middleware | Composition root should be in main package |
| ~~features/ executes raw SQL (20 QueryRaw/ExecRaw calls in permissions/ + 18 query.Raw('NOW()') expressions)~~ | **Fixed** — permissions/ migrated to 14 typed repository methods (PR #265). records/ already had 0 raw SQL. 18 query.Raw('NOW()') expressions remain (non-bypass usage). | ~~Bypasses repository pattern~~ |
| `RecordRepository` bypasses `MetadataService` cache | `record_repository.go:41-57` builds its own sync.Map cache | Dual cache, potential inconsistency |
| `manual_fields.go` bypasses SSoT | 5+ manually defined constants | Schema drift risk |
| ~~Makefile verify-generated paths are wrong~~ | Fixed in PR #226 | ~~CI verification is ineffective~~ |

## 6. Architecture Claim Verification

> Independent verification of the project's 5 core architectural claims by the Challenger Agent (including counter-evidence)

| # | Claim | Verdict | Key Evidence |
|---|-------|---------|--------------|
| 1 | **SSoT (system_tables.json)** | **PARTIALLY TRUE** | Codegen pipeline is complete, verify_codegen.sh is rigorous. However, `manual_fields.go` and `tables.go` contain manually bypassed constants |
| 2 | **Clean Architecture** | **PARTIALLY TRUE** | Domain layer has zero external dependencies. However, `ServiceManager` directly imports infrastructure + interfaces |
| 3 | **Standardized Error Handling** | **PARTIALLY TRUE** | Two error packages + GlobalErrorHandler exist. However, ~75% of feature-layer errors use raw `errors.New()`, and the two packages have overlapping responsibilities |
| 4 | **End-to-End Request Tracing** | **PARTIALLY TRUE** | HTTP layer is complete: RequestID, logging, response headers, frontend capture. However, Request ID is **not propagated** into service/repository layers; deep errors cannot be correlated |
| 5 | **Salesforce v63.0 100% Compatibility** | **~80% IMPLEMENTED** | Backend implements ~80% of the Salesforce API surface the frontend requires. Remaining ~20% is Tooling API (query, sObject CRUD for metadata types). These are unfinished features, not architectural issues. See Issue #233 |

## 7. Priority List

### P0: Fix Immediately (Evidence-backed, Blocks Development/Deployment)

| # | Issue | Evidence | Impact | Estimated Fix Time |
|---|-------|----------|--------|--------------------|
| P0-1 | ~~`registerRoutes` undefined, backend cannot compile~~ | `main.go:218` calls non-existent function; `go build ./cmd/server` fails | Server cannot be built or deployed from main | **Fixed** |
| P0-2 | ~~Makefile verify-generated paths are wrong~~ | References `backend/pkg/constants/`, actual files are in `shared/pkg/constants/` | CI verification is ineffective, SSoT guarantee is broken | **Fixed** |
| P0-3 | ~~Integration tests not isolated, `go test ./...` always fails~~ | 4 tests connect to TiDB:4000 without build tags | Local development `make test-unit` always shows 4 red failures | **Fixed** |

### P1: High Priority (Significant Security/Quality Risk)

| # | Issue | Evidence | Impact | Estimated Fix Time |
|---|-------|----------|--------|--------------------|
| P1-1 | ~~**Frontend has 9 known vulnerabilities (4 High)**~~ | `npm audit`: axios DoS, flatted prototype pollution, dompurify XSS | Production security risk | **Fixed** -- axios removed (dead dependency), flatted bumped to 3.4.2, dompurify bumped to 3.3.2. Only 2 moderate dev-dependency vulnerabilities remain (esbuild/vite). |
| P1-2 | ~~**N+1 query: hydrateLookups()**~~ | `sobject_records.go:72-118`; one additional query per lookup field | 5 lookup fields = 6x DB queries; worse on list pages | **Fixed** -- hydrateLookups now batches lookup queries by target object type. PR #243. |
| P1-3 | ~~**features/ raw SQL bypass: 20 QueryRaw/ExecRaw calls in permissions/ (+ 18 query.Raw('NOW()') expressions)**~~ | records/ has 0 raw SQL bypass in production code. Original count of 63 included test files. | Architecture violation; schema migrations must audit call sites | **Fixed** — All 20 QueryRaw/ExecRaw calls in permissions/ migrated to 14 typed repository methods. 0 raw SQL remaining in permissions production code. PR #265. |
| P1-4 | ~~**CI has no frontend tests**~~ | `.github/workflows/ci.yml` has no frontend job | Frontend regressions are completely invisible | **Fixed** -- vitest job added to CI pipeline. PR #242. |
| P1-5 | **Core module test coverage is critically low** | **MILESTONE: ALL feature modules now above 40% coverage. 12 of 13 modules above 60% (all except composite which has no statements). Zero 0% packages remaining in pkg/ layer.** mru: **100%** (was 23.9%, PR #315), pkg/query: **97.9%** (was 22.3%, PR #331), pkg/fieldtypes: **97.7%** (was 20.2%, PR #343), pkg/utils: **97.4%** (was 15.4%, PR #342), pkg/auth: **96.7%** (was 0%, PR #341), events: **95.5%**, feed: **92.9%** (was 0%, PR #316), analytics: **92.3%** (was 58.7%, PR #329), auth: **90.7%**, middleware: **88.2%** (was 65.3%, PR #321), streaming: **81.6%**, uiapi: **78.5%** (was 8.2%, PR #313), metadata: **78.1%** (was 59.4%, PR #328), permissions: **74.1%**, records: **70.3%** (was 42.6%, PR #323), automation: **63.4%** (was 47.5%, PR #325), notifications: **60%** (was 0%, PR #317), REST: **46.4%** (was 37.4%, PR #332), persistence: **18.3%** (was 12.0%, PR #333). Composite: tests added for handler layer (PR #311). **~3,828 tests total, 0 failures.** PRs #255, #259, #260, #264, #277, #280, #293, #311, #312, #313, #315, #316, #317, #319, #320, #321, #323, #324, #325, #327, #328, #329, #331, #332, #333, #341, #342, #343. Coverage range: 18.3% (persistence) to 100% (mru). Only persistence (18.3%) and REST (46.4%) remain below 60%. | Substantially addressed — every module has meaningful tests | **Ongoing** -- raise coverage floors |
| P1-6 | ~~**ServiceManager architecture violation**~~ | `service_manager_init.go` imports persistence + middleware | Composition root is in the wrong layer, hinders testing and swapping | **Fixed** — ServiceManager composition root moved to cmd/server/wire.go. Application layer no longer imports infrastructure. PR #253. |
| P1-7 | ~~**Inconsistent error handling: two packages + 75% raw errors**~~ | **Fixed** — ALL raw errors across the entire backend migrated to typed errors from pkg/errors. Feature layer (13 modules), interfaces/rest, application/services, bootstrap, database, ALL pkg/ sub-packages (9), ALL persistence files (31), and ALL cmd/ tools (9 files) now use typed error constructors. Migration spanned rounds 5-16, PRs #263-#309. Only ~1 `scripts/` test helper error remains (intentionally excluded). | ~~Clients cannot reliably handle error types~~ | **Fixed** |
| P1-8 | ~~**Request ID not propagated to service/repo layer**~~ | Searching features/ and infrastructure/ for request_id returns zero results | Deep errors cannot be correlated to requests; production debugging is difficult | **Fixed** — Request ID propagated into service layer via context.WithValue. CRUD operations and analytics queries now log request ID. PR #251. |
| P1-9 | ~~**Analytics service layer uses wrong table names (4 production bugs)**~~ | `dashboard_service.go` and `report_service.go` hardcode incorrect table names; REST handlers are correct | Dashboard widget operations broken in production | **Fixed** -- all analytics table names use generated constants. PRs #240, #248. |
| P1-10 | ~~**Hardcoded table names audit needed**~~ | Analytics bug suggests other services may have same problem | Unknown scope of incorrect table references | **Fixed** -- audited all Go source files, replaced 22 hardcoded table names across 8 files with constants. PR #248. |
| P1-11 | ~~**Tooling API not yet implemented — metadata management UI returns 404**~~ | Frontend correctly calls SF Tooling endpoints; backend hasn't implemented them yet | Flow listing, validation rules, schema/field/layout admin all non-functional | **Fixed** -- /tooling/query route + sObject shims for ValidationRule, CustomObject, CustomField, ProfileLayout. PR #244. |

### P2: Medium-Term Optimization

| # | Issue | Evidence | Estimated Fix Time |
|---|-------|----------|--------------------|
| P2-1 | persistence package monolith (63 files, 12K LOC) | Largest package, no sub-package decomposition | 1-2 weeks |
| P2-2 | ~~Metadata cache full-lock refresh~~ | `sync.RWMutex` write lock blocks all reads | **Partially fixed** — Core schema/flow cache uses COW pattern via atomic.Pointer[metadataSnapshot]; readers are lock-free. However, 17 RLock calls remain in non-cache read paths (metadata_objects.go, metadata_apps.go, etc.). The COW pattern covers the core schema/flow cache but not all MetadataService read operations. PR #257. |
| P2-3 | ~~RecordRepository dual cache~~ | Bypasses MetadataService, builds its own sync.Map | **Fixed** — RecordRepository sync.Map removed, delegates to MetadataService via SchemaProvider interface. PR #256. |
| P2-4 | ~~TypeScript `any` (48 occurrences)~~ | ~~Production code in flows/registry/api~~ | **Fixed** -- All 48 TypeScript `any` occurrences replaced with proper types. 0 remaining. PR #261. |
| P2-5 | ~~Excessive useState (max 19)~~ | **Fixed** — All 6 excessive-useState components refactored to useReducer: CreateFieldWizard (PR #267), ResourceModal (PR #279), useDashboard (PR #283), MetadataRecordList (PR #285), MetadataRecordDetail (PR #287), useReportBuilder (PR #289). | **Fixed** |
| P2-6 | ~~`manual_fields.go` SSoT bypass~~ | 5+ manually defined constants | **Fixed** — All 13 manual constants migrated from manual_fields.go and tables.go into system_tables.json codegen pipeline. PR #252. |
| P2-7 | ~~Oversized frontend files (api/flows 787L, api/data 782L)~~ | **Fixed** — flows API split (PR #276): 787L → 6 files (max 297L). data.ts split (PR #281): 782L → 8 files (max 183L). Both oversized files resolved. | **Fixed** |

## 10. Data Model & Entity Relationships

### 10.1 Table Inventory (80 tables)

| Category | Count | Key Tables |
|----------|-------|------------|
| **Metadata Engine Core** | 5 | `_System_Object`, `_System_Field`, `_System_Table`, `_System_Relationship`, `_System_FieldDependency` |
| **UI & Presentation** | 8 | `_System_App`, `_System_PageLayout`, `_System_ListView`, `_System_Action`, `ProfileLayout` |
| **Business Logic Rules** | 3 | `_System_ValidationRule`, `_System_RecordType`, `_System_AutoNumber` |
| **Auth & Identity** | 21 | `User`, `Profile`, `UserRole`, `PermissionSet`, `ObjectPermissions`, `FieldPermissions`, `Group`, `SharingRule`, `_System_RecordShare` |
| **Automation & Flows** | 9 | `FlowDefinition`, `Flow`, `FlowInterview`, `ProcessDefinition`, `ProcessInstance`, `ProcessInstanceWorkitem` |
| **Analytics & Reporting** | 5 | `Report`, `Dashboard`, `DashboardComponent`, `ReportFolder`, `FolderShare` |
| **Audit & Data Mgmt** | 4 | `_System_AuditLog`, `_System_RecycleBin`, `_System_Comment`, `_System_File` |
| **Total** | **80** | |

**Naming convention note:**
- 41 tables use the `_System_` prefix (internal infrastructure -- metadata engine, audit, sharing, etc.)
- 39 tables have no prefix (business/entity tables -- User, Report, Flow, etc.)
- Common mistake: adding `_System_` prefix to non-system tables. Only infrastructure tables owned by the platform kernel should carry this prefix.

### 10.2 Core ER Diagram

```
METADATA ENGINE (self-describing schema)
=========================================

_System_Object (ApiName, Label, SharingModel, ...)
    |
    |-- 1:N --> _System_Field (ObjectId FK, ApiName, Type, ReferenceTo, Formula, ...)
    |               |-- 1:N --> _System_FieldDependency (ControllingFieldId, DependentFieldId)
    |
    |-- 1:N --> _System_Relationship (ChildObjectApiName, ParentObjectApiName, RelationshipType)
    |-- 1:N --> _System_ValidationRule (ObjectApiName, Formula, ErrorMessage)
    |-- 1:N --> _System_RecordType (ObjectId FK, DeveloperName)
    |-- 1:N --> _System_AutoNumber (ObjectApiName, FieldApiName, CurrentValue)
    |-- 1:N --> _System_PageLayout (ObjectApiName, Config JSON)


AUTH & PERMISSION MODEL (Salesforce-compatible)
================================================

User (ProfileId FK, UserRoleId FK, ManagerId FK self-ref)
    |
    +-- Profile
    |     |-- 1:N --> ObjectPermissions (ParentId FK, SobjectType, CRUD flags)
    |     |-- 1:N --> FieldPermissions (ParentId FK, Field, Read/Edit flags)
    |     |-- 1:N --> ProfileLayout --> _System_PageLayout
    |     +-- 1:N --> ProfileTabSetting, ProfileAppVisibility
    |
    +-- UserRole (ParentRoleId FK self-ref = role hierarchy)
    |     +-- 1:N --> SharingRule (ShareWithRoleId FK)
    |
    +-- N:M --> PermissionSet (via PermissionSetAssignment)
    |     |-- 1:N --> ObjectPermissions
    |     |-- 1:N --> FieldPermissions
    |     +-- N:M --> PermissionSetGroup (via PermissionSetGroupComponent)
    |                   +-- MutingPermissionSet (revoke specific perms)
    |
    +-- N:M --> Group (via GroupMember)
          +-- QueueSobject (which objects a queue can own)
          +-- _System_RecordShare (manual record-level sharing)


AUTOMATION ENGINE
==================

FlowDefinition (DeveloperName, TriggerObjectOrEvent, ActiveVersionId)
    |-- 1:N --> Flow (versions, Metadata JSON = full canvas)
                  |-- 1:N --> FlowInterview (running/paused instances)

ProcessDefinition (approval processes)
    |-- 1:N --> ProcessNode (steps)
    |-- 1:N --> ProcessInstance (runtime, TargetObjectId)
                  |-- 1:N --> ProcessInstanceWorkitem (pending approvals)
                  |-- 1:N --> ProcessInstanceNode (step execution log)


ANALYTICS
==========

ReportFolder (ParentId FK self-ref = folder tree)
    |-- 1:N --> Report (SourceObject, Columns/Filters/Grouping as JSON)
    |-- 1:N --> Dashboard
    |             |-- 1:N --> DashboardComponent (ReportId FK = widget source)
    |-- 1:N --> FolderShare (access control)
```

### 10.3 Key Design Decision: SObject = map[string]interface{}

Business record data is **NOT** stored in typed Go structs. Instead:

```
type SObject = map[string]interface{}
```

All field validation, type coercion, and query building is driven dynamically by the metadata engine. This is the fundamental design choice enabling the metadata-driven architecture -- any object/field can be created at runtime without code changes.

Generated Go structs (`z_generated.go`) exist only for the 47 system tables. Custom/business objects use `SObject` exclusively.

### 10.4 Metadata Flow: Definition to Render

```
1. JSON Definition (system_tables.json or API call)
   |
2. DDL Execution (CREATE TABLE / ALTER TABLE on MySQL)
   |
3. Metadata Registration (_System_Object + _System_Field rows)
   |
4. MetadataService.RefreshCache() -- in-memory maps (sync.RWMutex)
   |  schemaMap:         map[lowercase_name] -> *ObjectMetadata
   |  fieldMap:          map[lowercase_name] -> []FieldMetadata
   |  validationRulesMap: map[lowercase_name] -> []*ValidationRule
   |  autoNumbersMap:    map[lowercase_name] -> []*AutoNumber
   |  flowDefinitionMap: map[name] -> *FlowDefinition
   |
5. API Response (GET /sobjects/{name}/describe -> ObjectMetadata as JSON)
   |
6. Frontend Cache (React Query, staleTime: 10min)
   |
7. Dynamic Render (LayoutRenderer -> InlineEditField per field type)
```

### 11.3 Salesforce Parity Gaps

| Feature | NexusCRM | Salesforce | Gap |
|---------|----------|------------|-----|
| Metadata API | REST CRUD at `/metadata/objects` | SOAP or `/services/metadata/` | Different protocol |
| Validation rules | REST at `/metadata/validation-rules` | Tooling API `ValidationRule` sObject | Custom REST path |
| Flow activate | `POST /Flow/:id/activate` | `PATCH` on Status field | Different verb |
| WebSocket | `GET /ws` | Not available (CometD or Pub/Sub gRPC) | Custom addition |
| Chatter | Not implemented | `/chatter/...` | Missing |
| Apex REST | Not implemented | `/services/apexrest/` | Missing |
| Pub/Sub gRPC | Not implemented | gRPC streaming | Missing |
| **Tooling Query** | **Complete** | `/tooling/query?q=` | Resolved (PR #244) |

### 11.5 Backend Implementation Gaps — Tooling API (Issue #233)

> These are not bugs or drift. The frontend is correct (built against Salesforce API).
> The backend has not yet implemented these Tooling API routes.

#### What works (backend routes exist):

| Feature | API Surface | Status |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| Record CRUD | `/sobjects/:name/:id` | Working |
| SOQL Query | `/query?q=` | Working |
| Search | `/search`, `/parameterizedSearch` | Working |
| Composite | `/composite/*` | Working |
| Bulk API | `/jobs/*` | Working |
| Analytics | `/analytics/*` | Working (table name bugs fixed) |
| UI API | `/ui-api/*` | Working |
| Flow CRUD (typed) | `/tooling/sobjects/FlowDefinition`, `/tooling/sobjects/Flow` | Working |
| Flow Execution | `/actions/custom/flow/:name` | Working |
| Streaming | `/cometd/*`, `/ws` | Working |

#### What is broken (frontend calls endpoints that don't exist):

| Feature | Frontend calls | Backend has | Impact |
|---------|---------------|-------------|--------|
| **Flow listing/search** | `/tooling/query?q=SELECT...FROM FlowDefinition` | No `/tooling/query` route | 404 — Flow list page broken |
| **Flow version lookup** | `/tooling/query?q=SELECT...FROM Flow WHERE DefinitionId=...` | No route | 404 |
| **Validation Rule read** | `/tooling/query?q=SELECT...FROM ValidationRule` | `/metadata/validation-rules` (different) | 404 |
| **Validation Rule create** | `POST /tooling/sobjects/ValidationRule` | `POST /metadata/validation-rules` (different) | 404 |
| **Validation Rule update** | `PATCH /tooling/sobjects/ValidationRule/:id` | `PATCH /metadata/validation-rules/:id` (different) | 404 |
| **Validation Rule delete** | `DELETE /tooling/sobjects/ValidationRule/:id` | `DELETE /metadata/validation-rules/:id` (different) | 404 |
| **Schema update** | `PATCH /tooling/sobjects/CustomObject/:id` | No route | 404 |
| **Field create** | `POST /tooling/sobjects/CustomField` | `POST /metadata/objects/:name/fields` (different) | 404 |
| **Layout assignment** | `POST /tooling/sobjects/ProfileLayout` | No route | 404 |
| **App resolution** | `/tooling/query?q=SELECT...FROM CustomApplication` | No route | 404 |

#### Why these routes don't exist yet

The backend team implemented some metadata capabilities via custom REST endpoints
(`/metadata/objects`, `/metadata/validation-rules`) rather than Salesforce Tooling API
conventions. The frontend was built against real Salesforce, so it calls Tooling endpoints.

Per the development model: **the frontend is correct**. The backend needs to implement
the Tooling API surface, or route Tooling URLs to the existing `/metadata/*` handlers.

#### Implementation path

1. **`/tooling/query`**: Route to existing QueryHandler. The SOQL engine already handles
   FlowDefinition and Flow tables. ValidationRule needs a table alias
   (`ValidationRule` -> `_System_ValidationRule`).
2. **Tooling sObject routes**: Add thin handler wrappers that accept Tooling-style
   requests and delegate to existing `/metadata/*` handlers.
3. **DO NOT change the frontend** to use `/metadata/*` endpoints. That breaks the
   Salesforce-compatible contract.

See Issue #233 for full analysis.

#### `schemas.ts` — Salesforce API Surface Reference

This file uses multiple Salesforce API families. **This is correct behavior** — Salesforce
itself uses different API surfaces for different metadata operations. The frontend faithfully
follows Salesforce conventions. Do not "simplify" this into a single surface.

| Function | SF API Surface | SF Convention? |
|----------|---------------|----------------|
| `getSchemas()`, `getSchema()` | Standard REST (`/sobjects`) | Yes |
| `createSchema()`, `deleteSchema()` | Metadata Deploy (`/metadata/deployRequest`) | Yes |
| `updateSchema()` | Tooling sObject (`/tooling/sobjects/CustomObject`) | Yes |
| `createField()` | Tooling sObject (`/tooling/sobjects/CustomField`) | Yes |
| `updateField()`, `deleteField()` | Standard REST (`/sobjects/:name/fields`) | Yes |
| `getLayout()`, `saveLayout()` | UI API (`/ui-api/layout`) | Yes |
| `assignLayoutToProfile()` | Tooling sObject (`/tooling/sobjects/ProfileLayout`) | Yes |
| `getValidationRules()` | Tooling Query (`/tooling/query?q=SELECT...`) | Yes |
| `createValidationRule()` | Tooling sObject (`/tooling/sobjects/ValidationRule`) | Yes |

Each function matches how a Salesforce client would perform the same operation.
The backend must implement all of these surfaces — the frontend should not be changed.

### 11.4 Backend Bug — Analytics Table Names

> Identified during adversarial review (2026-03-20). See Issue #227, Issue #229.

The analytics service layer has a **production bug** where service files reference incorrect table names:

| File | Problem | Status |
|------|---------|--------|
| `dashboard_service.go` | Uses wrong table names for dashboard/widget CRUD operations | Bug -- Issue #227 |
| `report_service.go` | Uses wrong table names for report query operations | Bug -- Issue #227 |
| REST handlers (analytics) | Use correct table names via constants | OK |

**Impact**: Dashboard widget operations were broken in production. The inconsistency is within the same feature boundary -- REST handlers reference the correct generated constants, but the service layer has hardcoded (incorrect) table name strings.

**Root cause**: Service files were written before the table naming convention was finalized and were never updated when the generated constants stabilized. The REST handlers were written later and correctly used the constants.

**Resolution**: Issue #227 (fix wrong names), Issue #229 (audit all hardcoded table names across the codebase).

```

### 12.3 Event System: Two Modes

| Mode | Mechanism | Timing | Can Abort TX? | Use Case |
|------|-----------|--------|---------------|----------|
| **Sync** | `EventBus.Publish()` | In caller's TX | Yes | Before-triggers (RecordBefore*), schema events |
| **Async** | Outbox table row + background worker | After TX commit | No | After-triggers (RecordCreated/Updated/Deleted) |

Event types: `record.{beforeCreate, created, beforeUpdate, updated, beforeDelete, deleted}`, `schema.{object,field}_{created,updated,deleted}`, `bulk.job.closed`

### 12.4 PersistenceService Pipeline (the hub)

Every CRUD operation follows this pipeline:

```
1. permissions.CheckPermissionOrError()     -- object-level (pre-TX)
2. metadata.GetSchemaOrError()              -- cache read
3. schemaValidator.ValidateSchemaCompliance() -- type/required checks
4. validator.ValidateRecord()               -- formula-based rules
5. BEGIN TX
   |-- permissions.CheckRecordAccess()      -- record-level (Update/Delete only)
   |-- permissions.CheckFieldEditability()  -- field-level (Update only)
   |-- eventBus.Publish(RecordBefore*)      -- sync, can abort
   |-- repo.Insert/Update/Delete()          -- actual DB write
   |-- rollup.ProcessRollups()              -- same TX
   |-- outbox.EnqueueEvent(Record*)         -- same TX
6. COMMIT TX
```

9 injected dependencies: `recordRepo`, `rollup`, `metadata`, `permissions`, `eventBus`, `validation`, `txManager`, `outbox`, `logger`

### 12.5 Permission Model: Three Layers

| Layer | Checked When | Source | Cached? |
|-------|-------------|--------|---------|
| Object-level | Pre-TX (`prepareOperation`) | Profile + PermissionSets -> ObjectPermissions | No (per-request DB query) |
| Field-level | In-TX (`filterEditableFields`) | Profile + PermissionSets -> FieldPermissions | No (per-request DB query) |
| Record-level | In-TX, after row lock | Owner -> Role hierarchy -> Sharing rules -> Manual shares -> Team members | Role hierarchy only |

### 12.6 Frontend State Management

| State | Source | Cache Strategy | Shared Via |
|-------|--------|---------------|------------|
| Auth / user session | Login API | None (ephemeral) | RuntimeContext (useState) |
| Permissions | `/ui-api/permissions` | React Query, 15min stale, prefetched on login | PermissionContext |
| App navigation | `/ui-api/apps` | React Query, 5min stale, prefetched on login | AppContext + localStorage |
| Schema metadata | `/sobjects/{name}/describe` | React Query, 10min stale, per-object | `useObjectMetadata()` hook |
| Page layouts | `/ui-api/layout/{name}` | React Query, 15min stale, per-object | `useLayout()` hook |
| Record data | `/sobjects/{name}/{id}` | React Query, 5min stale, per-record | `useRecord()` hook |
| UI preferences | Local | localStorage | UIContext (useState) |

Boot sequence: Login -> `prefetchBootData()` fires parallel React Query prefetches for permissions + apps -> downstream providers mount with warm caches.
