Subject: [PATCH 01/38] feat: implement risk scoring persistence and complete
 API documentation

Implement comprehensive risk scoring service with data persistence for
compliance tracking, complete OpenAPI documentation coverage, and add
integration tests for core infrastructure components.

Risk Scoring Service (#213):
- Add RiskRepository for assessment record persistence and historical analysis
- Update RiskService to persist assessment records via repository
- Add getHistory() and getStatistics() methods for risk analytics
- Add RiskAssessment model to Prisma schema with proper indexes
- Create database migration for risk assessments table
- Add comprehensive integration tests for RiskRepository

Response Envelope Interceptor (#216):
- Verify ResponseInterceptor is registered globally in app.module.ts
- Add integration tests for response wrapping and pagination handling
- Test requestId header handling and null data scenarios

Swagger Documentation (#218):
- Add @ApiProperty decorators to admin DLQ and queue management DTOs
- Add @ApiProperty decorators to audit export DTOs
- Add @ApiProperty decorators to risk assessment DTOs
- Update risk controller to use DTO for request body documentation
- Complete OpenAPI documentation coverage across all domain modules

Zod Validation Pipe (#220):
- Verify ZodValidationPipe supports custom error formatting
- Add integration tests for validation scenarios and error handling
- Test optional fields, nested objects, arrays, and custom messages

Subject: [PATCH 03/38] fix: resolve TypeScript errors in test files

Fix TypeScript errors in test files by:
- Converting async tests to use toPromise() instead of callbacks
- Adding proper type assertions for exception details
- Adding RiskRepository to RiskService constructor
- Using type assertions for Prisma client methods until migration runs
- Adding missing PaginationMeta properties in tests

Subject: [PATCH 08/38] feat: add RiskRepository, RiskAssessment schema, and
 Swagger decorators (#356)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* feat: merge PR #284 — add RiskRepository, RiskAssessment schema, and test files

Resolves the merge conflict from PR #284 by applying all genuinely new
additions (RiskRepository, schema migration, test specs, service updates)
while keeping main's already-improved Swagger DTO implementations.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_012xRrTYwEy2y8yow4o8iUQ8

* fix: use ZodValidationException in integration spec

The pipe throws ZodValidationException (a BadRequestException subclass
defined in zod-validation.pipe.ts), not the domain-layer ValidationException.
Update all assertions to match the actual thrown type.

 # Database Guidelines & Migration Verification
 
-All database changes must be managed via Prisma migrations. 
+All database changes must be managed via Prisma migrations.
+
+## Startup Checks
+
+The API retries PostgreSQL connections during startup using exponential backoff. Configure the total number of attempts with `DATABASE_CONNECT_RETRY_ATTEMPTS` (default `5`) and the initial delay with `DATABASE_CONNECT_RETRY_DELAY_MS` (default `1000` ms). Startup fails if either Prisma pool cannot connect or if any checked-in migration is pending or failed; deploy migrations before starting the API.
 
 ## Migration Verification Requirements
+
 - Every migration folder must contain a valid, non-empty `migration.sql` file.
 - Migration directories must start with a 14-digit timestamp prefix (`YYYYMMDDHHMMSS`) to ensure strict ordering and avoid conflicts.
 - Run `npm run db:verify` locally to execute `scripts/verify-migrations.sh` prior to opening a pull request.

Subject: [PATCH 10/38] feat(health): dedicated GET /health/redis probe (#358)

Adds GET /health/redis, mirroring GET /health/database, so container
orchestration and uptime monitors can probe Redis alone instead of only
seeing it as one service inside /health/readiness. Reports status,
latency and the ping error, with 200/503 semantics, plus unit tests for
the up, down and isolation paths.

Subject: [PATCH 11/38] test(auth): lock in auth throttle-tier wiring on public
 routes (#359)

Guard and config behavior for rate limiting is already covered in
isolation, but nothing asserted that register/login/refresh actually
declare the auth tier. Adds a regression test against the decorator
metadata so removing @ThrottleTierDecorator('auth') from a handler
fails CI instead of silently dropping back to the looser api limit.

Subject: [PATCH 12/38] feat(health): add /health/live and /health/ready probes
 (#362)

Add orchestrator-grade liveness and readiness probes:

- GET /health/live returns 200 whenever the process is running and performs
  no dependency checks, so a downstream outage never triggers a restart.
- GET /health/ready probes the database (SELECT 1) and cache (Redis PING)
  in parallel, each bounded by a 2s timeout, and returns 200 or 503 with a
  per-dependency status, latency and error report under `services`.
- Both probes are served outside the global API prefix, like /metrics, so
  probe paths are stable across API versions.

Make the health controller usable by load balancers:

- Mark it @Public(); previously every health route required a JWT.
- Exempt it from both named throttler tiers so probes cannot receive 429s.
- Exclude it from the audit trail so probes do not write an audit row per
  request (or attempt to while the database is down).

Fix the Redis indicator to probe the shared REDIS_CLIENT built from the
validated REDIS_* config. It previously read an undefined REDIS_URL, always
probed localhost:6379, kept its own never-closed connection, and could hang
while ioredis queued the PING during an outage.

Closes #351

+## Health Probes (`/health`)
+
+The liveness and readiness probes are served **outside** the API prefix, so
+orchestrator and load-balancer probe paths do not change with the API version.
+Both are public, exempt from rate limiting, excluded from the audit trail, and
+return raw JSON (no success envelope).
+
+### GET `/health/live`
+Liveness probe. Returns `200` whenever the process is running. It performs no
+dependency checks, so a database or cache outage never causes an otherwise
+healthy process to be restarted.
+
+**Authentication:** Public
+
+**Response (200):**
+```json
+{ "status": "up", "timestamp": "2026-09-28T10:00:00.000Z", "uptimeSeconds": 42 }
+```
+
+### GET `/health/ready`
+Readiness probe. Probes the database (`SELECT 1`) and cache (Redis `PING`) in
+parallel, each bounded by a 2 second timeout. Returns `200` when every
+dependency is up and `503` when any is down.
+
+**Authentication:** Public
+
+**Response (503 example):**
+```json
+{
+  "status": "down",
+  "timestamp": "2026-09-28T10:00:00.000Z",
+  "services": {
+    "database": {
+      "status": "down",
+      "latencyMs": 2001,
+      "timestamp": "2026-09-28T10:00:00.000Z",
+      "error": "Database health check timed out after 2000ms"
+    },
+    "cache": { "status": "up", "latencyMs": 1, "timestamp": "2026-09-28T10:00:00.000Z" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Richer diagnostics (including Stellar and migration status) remain available
+under the API prefix at `GET /{API_PREFIX}/health/readiness`,
+`GET /{API_PREFIX}/health/liveness` and `GET /{API_PREFIX}/health/database`.

Subject: [PATCH 13/38] feat(config): validate full environment at startup
 (#363)

Compose the per-slice Zod schemas into a single `environmentSchema` and
validate `process.env` against it at the start of bootstrap(), before any
Nest module is constructed or any connection is opened.

- On failure the process prints every failing variable in one message and
  exits with code 1, instead of surfacing only the first failing slice from
  inside Nest's module initialization with a stack trace.
- Messages are value-free (e.g. "must be one of: ..." rather than Zod's
  default "received '<value>'") so secrets never reach logs.
- In production, reject the publicly known default ENCRYPTION_KEY (whether
  set explicitly or implied by omission) and a JWT refresh secret that
  reuses the access secret.

Per-slice validation in each registerAs factory is unchanged, so the typed
ConfigService namespaces keep their guarantees outside main.ts.

Document every variable, its type, default and production rules in
docs/configuration.md, and correct the README's list of required
variables. Tests keep the docs and .env.example in sync with the schema,
and exercise the real main.ts entrypoint to prove missing or malformed
variables halt startup before NestFactory.create is called.

Closes #350

+# Configuration
+
+The API is configured entirely through environment variables. Locally, copy
+`.env.example` to `.env`; in deployed environments, inject the variables
+through your platform's secret manager.
+
+## Startup validation
+
+Every variable below is validated against a single schema
+(`environmentSchema` in `src/config/env.validation.ts`) at the very start of
+`bootstrap()` in `src/main.ts`, before any Nest module is constructed or any
+database, Redis or queue connection is opened.
+
+If validation fails, the process prints every failing variable at once and
+exits with code `1`:
+
+```text
+Invalid environment configuration (3 problems):
+  - DATABASE_URL: is required but was not set
+  - PORT: must be a valid number
+  - NODE_ENV: must be one of: development, test, production
+Fix the variables above (see .env.example and docs/configuration.md) and restart.
+```
+
+The message never includes the rejected values, so secrets cannot leak into
+logs through a misconfiguration.
+
+Each configuration slice (`src/config/*.config.ts`) still validates its own
+subset when Nest loads it, so the typed `ConfigService` namespaces keep their
+guarantees in tests and tools that construct modules without going through
+`main.ts`.
+
+### Adding a variable
+
+1. Add it to the relevant slice schema in `src/config/env.validation.ts`. The
+   slice schemas are merged into `environmentSchema`, so it is validated at
+   startup automatically.
+2. Document it in the tables below. A unit test fails if a validated variable
+   is missing from this file.
+3. Add it to `.env.example` if developers need to set it locally. A unit test
+   checks that `.env.example` itself passes validation.
+
+## Required variables
+
+These have no default. The application will not start without them.
+
+| Variable | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string used by Prisma. |
+| `JWT_ACCESS_SECRET` | Signing secret for access tokens. At least 16 characters. |
+| `JWT_REFRESH_SECRET` | Signing secret for refresh tokens. At least 16 characters. In production it must differ from `JWT_ACCESS_SECRET`. |
+| `AI_PROVIDER_KEY` | API key for the AI provider. |
+
+### Additional production requirements
+
+When `NODE_ENV=production`, values that are acceptable for local development
+are rejected:
+
+| Variable | Rule |
+| --- | --- |
+| `ENCRYPTION_KEY` | Must be set explicitly. The built-in development default is publicly known and is rejected. |
+| `JWT_REFRESH_SECRET` | Must differ from `JWT_ACCESS_SECRET`. |

Subject: [PATCH 14/38] feat: webhook ingress validation, retry queue cleanup,
 rate limiting (#367)

Closes #331
Closes #325
Closes #334
Closes #328

- Inbound webhook receiving endpoint (POST /webhooks/receive) wired to the
  existing but previously unwired RawBodyMiddleware + WebhookSignatureGuard,
  with a Zod schema validating the payload shape.
- Removed duplicate BullMQ processor consuming the webhooks queue
  (WebhookWorker), keeping WebhooksProcessor which also records metrics.
  Deleted dead WebhookDeliveryWorker, never registered as a real processor.
- Wired the existing, previously unused SlidingWindowThrottlerGuard onto the
  new public ingress route for Redis-backed sliding-window rate limiting
  with standard rate-limit headers.
- Added StreamMetricsService: ring-buffer based p95/p99 latency aggregation
  per stream, exposed through the existing Prometheus registry.

Subject: [PATCH 15/38] feat: add production rollback protection to database
 migration CLI (#371)

Add a migration CLI (npm run db:migrate -- <command>) with a production
safety guard. The destructive commands, down and reset, are rejected when
NODE_ENV=production unless --force is supplied. A blocked run prints a
warning to stderr, exits with code 1 and never contacts the database. A
forced run is also announced on stderr.

down <migration> runs the migration's hand-written down.sql and removes
its _prisma_migrations row in a single script, so the history row is only
dropped when every rollback statement succeeded. Migration names are
validated against the folder on disk before being used in SQL.

The guard logic lives in src/database/migration-guard.ts with injected
process dependencies so it is fully unit tested. The entry point
src/database/migrate.cli.ts is compiled into dist and can run in images
without ts-node. Usage is documented in docs/database.md.

+## Migration CLI and Rollback Protection
+
+`npm run db:migrate -- <command>` wraps the Prisma migration commands behind a production safety guard (`src/database/migration-guard.ts`).
+
+| Command | Effect | Destructive |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `deploy` | Applies pending migrations (`prisma migrate deploy`). | No |
+| `status` | Reports applied and pending migrations. | No |
+| `down <migration>` | Executes the migration's `down.sql`, then removes it from `_prisma_migrations` in the same script so `deploy` can re-apply it later. | Yes |
+| `reset` | Drops and recreates the database (`prisma migrate reset`). | Yes |
+
+Destructive commands are **rejected when `NODE_ENV=production`**: the CLI prints a warning to stderr, exits with code `1`, and never contacts the database. To proceed intentionally, take a verified backup and re-run with `--force`; the override itself is also announced on stderr.
+
+```bash
+# Blocked in production
+NODE_ENV=production npm run db:migrate -- down 20260901080000_add_cleanup_job_logs
+
+# Explicit override
+NODE_ENV=production npm run db:migrate -- down 20260901080000_add_cleanup_job_logs --force
+```
+
+Prisma does not generate down migrations. To make a migration reversible, add a hand-written `down.sql` next to its `migration.sql`. One way to draft it is to run the following after editing `schema.prisma` but **before** applying the new migration, so the diff goes from the new datamodel back to the current database state:
+
+```bash
+npx prisma migrate diff   --from-schema-datamodel prisma/schema.prisma   --to-schema-datasource prisma/schema.prisma   --script > prisma/migrations/<migration>/down.sql
+```
+
+Review the generated SQL by hand before relying on it. `down` refuses to run for a migration without a `down.sql`.

Subject: [PATCH 16/38] test: add full branch coverage tests for role,
 permission and scope guards (#373)

Add dedicated specs for RolesGuard, PermissionsGuard and ScopesGuard,
including matchScope, and extend the RbacGuard spec. The guards now have
100% statement, branch, function and line coverage.

The tests attach real @Roles, @RequirePermissions, @RequireScopes and
@Public metadata to fixture controllers and run them through a real
Reflector, so handler-over-class inheritance is exercised rather than
mocked. Assertion matrices cover every UserRole, every wildcard shape in
matchScope, including nested scopes, and the AND semantics of multi-
permission routes.

Behaviour pinned by these tests:
- OWNER bypasses RolesGuard, and a JWT-authenticated OWNER or ADMIN
  bypasses ScopesGuard; API-key principals with those roles do not.
- PermissionsGuard grants no role-based override and expands no wildcards.
- Guests and expired or revoked principals, which the auth strategies
  leave without request.user, get a 401 on every restricted route.
- Stale or differently cased role names are rejected.

Subject: [PATCH 17/38] perf: add concurrent composite indexes for
 notification, approval and memory (#374)

Every paginated list endpoint defaults to ORDER BY "createdAt" DESC, but
the tables behind the busiest ones only had single-column indexes. Postgres
therefore had to fetch all of a tenant's or user's rows, or walk the global
createdAt index and filter, before it could return a page. These composite
indexes match the actual query shapes:

- notifications (userId, createdAt): inbox list
- notifications (organizationId, userId, read, createdAt): unread badge,
  mark-all-read, unread filter (index-only count)
- proposals (organizationId, createdAt): approval queue
- proposals (organizationId, status, createdAt): pending count, status filter
- memory_records (organizationId, createdAt): memory browser
- memory_records (agentId, createdAt): per-agent memory timeline

Each index is built with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so writes are never
blocked. Each one lives in its own single-statement migration, because
Prisma runs a multi-statement migration as one implicit transaction, where
Postgres rejects CONCURRENTLY. The matching @@index entries are added to
schema.prisma so migrate dev reports no drift. docs/concurrent-indexes.md
records the convention and how to recover from a failed concurrent build.

+# Adding Indexes Without Downtime
+
+Indexes on live tables are created with `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, so writes to the table are never blocked while the index builds.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **One statement per migration.** Postgres refuses `CONCURRENTLY` inside a transaction block, and Prisma sends a multi-statement `migration.sql` as a single implicit transaction. Each concurrent index therefore gets its own migration folder whose `migration.sql` contains exactly one `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` statement. Comments are fine.
+2. **Declare the index in `schema.prisma` too.** Add the matching `@@index([...])` so `prisma migrate dev` does not report drift. Use Prisma's default name, `<table>_<col1>_<col2>_idx`, in the SQL.
+3. **Do not use `IF NOT EXISTS`.** A failed concurrent build leaves an `INVALID` index behind. `IF NOT EXISTS` would then silently skip it and record the migration as applied, with an index the planner never uses.
+
+## Recovering from a failed build
+
+If `prisma migrate deploy` fails partway through a concurrent build (deadlock, uniqueness violation, cancelled session):
+
+```sql
+-- 1. Find and drop the invalid leftover
+SELECT indexrelid::regclass FROM pg_index WHERE NOT indisvalid;
+DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS "<index_name>";
+```
+
+```bash
+# 2. Mark the failed migration as rolled back, then deploy again
+npx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back <migration_folder>
+npx prisma migrate deploy
+```
+
+## Verifying
+
+Confirm that the planner picks the index for the query it was added for:
+
+```sql
+EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)
+SELECT * FROM "notifications"
+WHERE "organizationId" = $1 AND "userId" = $2
+ORDER BY "createdAt" DESC LIMIT 20;
+```
+
+The plan should show an `Index Scan` (or `Index Only Scan`) on the new index with no separate `Sort` node.

Subject: [PATCH 18/38] feat: add IP-based rate limiting to public endpoints
 (#377)

Add PublicRateLimitGuard, a global guard that applies a per-IP sliding
window limit to every unauthenticated route: handlers marked @Public()
and any route under /<API_PREFIX>/public/. Requests beyond the limit
are rejected with 429 Too Many Requests and a Retry-After header.

- X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset are set
  on every limited response
- counters live in the shared REDIS_CLIENT via an atomic Lua sliding
  window script, so all replicas enforce one budget per IP; rejected
  requests are not recorded
- if Redis is unavailable the guard falls back to an in-memory window
  per instance instead of failing open
- thresholds are configurable with PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED,
  PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS, PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_SECONDS and
  PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_TRUST_PROXY (X-Forwarded-For is ignored by default)
- @SkipPublicRateLimit() exempts routes; applied to the
  network-restricted /metrics scrape endpoint
- add store and guard unit tests plus an HTTP burst integration test

+### Public Endpoint Rate Limiting
+Unauthenticated endpoints (routes marked `@Public()`, such as `/auth/login`, `/auth/register` and `/auth/refresh`, and every route under `/public/`) share a per-IP sliding-window budget: 60 requests per 60 seconds by default, configurable with `PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS` and `PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_SECONDS`. Counters are stored in Redis, so the budget applies across all API instances.

+| `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Requests allowed per window |
+| `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests left in the current window |
+| `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Unix time (seconds) at which the next request slot frees up |
+
+When the budget is exhausted the API responds with `429 Too Many Requests`, a `Retry-After` header (seconds) and error code `RATE_LIMITED`. These limits are in addition to the per-route auth throttling on the `/auth` endpoints.

+ * Authenticated routes are left to the per-organization throttlers.
+ *
+ * Every limited response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`

Subject: [PATCH 19/38] feat: return RFC 9457 problem details for all error
 responses (#378)

Replace the { success, error: { code, message }, requestId } error
envelope with a uniform problem details body served as
application/problem+json:

  { type, title, status, detail, instance, code, requestId, details? }

- type is a stable URN per ErrorCode (urn:astroid:problem:<code>); HTTP
  errors without a dedicated code use about:blank with the reason phrase
- title comes from a new ERROR_TITLE map kept exhaustive by the type
  system; instance is the request path without its query string
- code and requestId are kept as extension members so clients can keep
  switching on the machine-readable code
- ZodValidationException now keeps its VALIDATION_ERROR code and
  field-level details instead of collapsing to BAD_REQUEST
- unhandled exceptions still map to a generic 500 INTERNAL_ERROR
  without leaking internals
- update the shared response types and API documentation
- rewrite the filter spec and add an HTTP integration test covering
  validation, authentication, domain, not-found and server errors

 ### Error Response
-All endpoints return errors in a consistent format:
+All endpoints return errors as [RFC 9457](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457) problem details with `Content-Type: application/problem+json`:
 ```json
 {
-  "statusCode": number,
-  "message": string,
-  "error": string
+  "type": "urn:astroid:problem:validation-error",
+  "title": "Validation Failed",
+  "status": 400,
+  "detail": "Request validation failed",
+  "instance": "/api/v1/agents",
+  "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
+  "requestId": "req_018f...",
+  "details": [{ "path": "limit", "message": "Number must be less than or equal to 200" }]
 }
 ```
 
+| Member | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `type` | URI identifying the problem type (`urn:astroid:problem:<code>`), or `about:blank` for plain HTTP errors without a dedicated code (e.g. 405) |
+| `title` | Short summary of the problem type; the same for every occurrence |
+| `status` | HTTP status code |
+| `detail` | Explanation specific to this occurrence |
+| `instance` | Request path that produced the error (query string omitted) |
+| `code` | Machine-readable error code; clients should switch on this rather than on `title` or `detail` |
+| `requestId` | Correlation id, matching the `x-request-id` header |
+| `details` | Optional structured context, e.g. field-level validation errors |
+
+Unhandled server errors always return `500` with `code: "INTERNAL_ERROR"` and a generic `detail`; internal information is only written to the server logs under the `requestId`.
+
 ### Authentication
 Most endpoints require Bearer token authentication in the format:

Subject: [PATCH 22/38] Batch dashboard queries and add activity log pagination
 test coverage (#338, #339) (#369)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* perf(analytics): batch dashboard overview queries into one transaction

Closes #338

AnalyticsService.overview() issued 7 independent queries (counts,
spend aggregates, status/risk group-bys) via Promise.all, each its own
roundtrip. Batches the 3 counts and 2 aggregates into a single
$transaction([...]) call; the 2 groupBy calls stay outside the batch
since Prisma's groupBy return type doesn't infer correctly inside a
$transaction array. Response shape is unchanged. Existing indexes on
organizationId/status/createdAt already cover these queries.

* test(audit): cover pagination and sorting edge cases for activity log

Closes #339

The audit log (this repo's activity log) already supported
page/limit/sort/order/filter query params and returned pagination
metadata (total, totalPages, hasNext, hasPrev), with limit capped at
100. Adds unit test coverage for the previously-untested list()
method: normal pagination, empty results, out-of-bounds pages,
invalid sort field fallback, ascending order, and entity filtering.

* fix(migrations): resolve colliding timestamp between two merged migrations

Migrations 20260928120000_add_agent_contribution_stats_index and
20260928120000_add_notifications_user_created_at_index landed with the
same 14-digit timestamp prefix from two separately merged PRs (#374,
#357), which scripts/verify-migrations.sh rejects as a conflict. Bumps
the notifications index migration to 20260928120001; both migrations
are independent, additive CREATE INDEX statements with no ordering
dependency between them, so the rename is safe.

* fix(ci): document missing env vars and fix flaky retry.util test

Two pre-existing, unrelated-to-this-PR CI failures fixed while unblocking
this branch:

- docs/configuration.md was missing 7 env vars added by recent merges
  (DATABASE_SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD_MS, DATABASE_CONNECT_RETRY_ATTEMPTS,
  DATABASE_CONNECT_RETRY_DELAY_MS, PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_*), which
  env.validation.spec.ts asserts against. Documented all 7.
- retry.util.spec.ts had 3 tests that create a rejecting promise, advance
  fake timers with vi.runAllTimersAsync(), then attach the rejection
  assertion afterward — a race that surfaces as an unhandled rejection
  under full-suite load (deterministic once >100 files run together).
  Attaching a no-op .catch() immediately after creating the promise
  prevents the unhandled state without changing what each test asserts.

+ * Verifies that every error path is transformed into the uniform RFC 9457
+ * problem details envelope:
+ *   { type, title, status, detail, instance, code, requestId, details? }
+ *
+ * Test surface:
+ *   • Prisma database errors  (P2002 → 409, P2025 → 404, others → 400)
+ *   • Validation failures      (ZodValidationException, ValidationException,
+ *                               class-validator BadRequestException arrays)
+ *   • Auth / authz errors      (401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden, TOKEN_EXPIRED)
+ *   • Rate-limiting            (ThrottlerException → 429)
+ *   • Generic HTTP exceptions  (405 → about:blank)
+ *   • Unknown server faults    (500, no internals leaked)
+ *   • Request-id propagation   (header → context → freshly generated UUID v7)

+/**
+ * GlobalExceptionFilter — the platform-wide exception filter for Astroid.
+ *
+ * This module is the canonical entry-point referenced by `AppModule` and any
+ * consumer that needs the filter class by its descriptive name.  The full
+ * implementation lives in `AllExceptionsFilter` (same folder) and is re-
+ * exported here under the `GlobalExceptionFilter` name so the acceptance
+ * criterion ("Create GlobalExceptionFilter in global-exception.filter.ts") is
+ * met without duplicating the logic.
+ *
+ * Behaviour summary:
+ *  • `Prisma.PrismaClientKnownRequestError`
+ *      P2002 (unique constraint)  → 409 CONFLICT
+ *      P2025 (record not found)   → 404 NOT_FOUND
+ *      other known request errors → 400 BAD_REQUEST
+ *  • `DomainException` subclasses → preserves `.code`, `.details`, status
+ *  • `HttpException` (Nest built-ins, Throttler, ZodValidation, class-validator
+ *    arrays, …)                   → maps status → ErrorCode; keeps structured
+ *                                   details when present
+ *  • Unknown throwables           → 500 INTERNAL_ERROR, no internals leaked
+ *
+ * Every error response follows RFC 9457 (Problem Details for HTTP APIs) and is
+ * served as `application/problem+json`:
+ *   { type, title, status, detail, instance, code, requestId, details? }

+ *      upstream proxy (e.g. a load balancer, API gateway).
+ *   2. Falls back to `crypto.randomUUID()` when the header is absent or empty.
+ *   3. Normalises the resolved ID by writing it back onto `request.headers` so
+ *      that downstream interceptors (RequestContextInterceptor,
+ *      AgentTraceInterceptor, ResponseInterceptor) and `pino-http`'s `genReqId`
+ *      all see a consistent value.
+ *   4. Attaches the ID to `request.id` for compatibility with frameworks and
+ *      middleware that read the Express `id` property.
+ *   5. Sets the `X-Request-ID` response header so clients and debugging tools
+ *      can correlate a response with the originating request.
+ *   6. Emits a structured log entry on request start and on response completion,
+ *      carrying `{ requestId, method, path }` for end-to-end distributed
+ *      tracing across controllers, services and background jobs.
+ *
+ * This interceptor intentionally performs no async work and injects no services

Subject: [PATCH 31/38] Add startup migration check and DB pool connection
 metrics

Wires the existing migration status checker into app bootstrap so the
process halts before accepting traffic when prisma/migrations has
pending or failed migrations (DATABASE_MIGRATION_CHECK_MODE=halt,
the default; 'warn' logs and continues). Gated behind
DATABASE_MIGRATION_CHECK_ENABLED.

Adds a db_pool_connections Prometheus gauge (active/idle/waiting)
sourced from pg_stat_activity, since Prisma's Rust query engine
doesn't expose pool internals through the Node client.

Closes #335
Closes #332

Subject: [PATCH 32/38] Fix pre-existing typecheck/lint/test failures blocking
 CI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

main's build/typecheck/lint/test were already broken before this branch
touched anything (confirmed by checking out upstream/main directly).
CI enforces these repo-wide, so they block this PR too. Fixed each:

- event-names.ts: duplicate object key (TransactionRiskScoringRequested)
- throttler.guard.ts: read AuthenticatedUser.sub, a field that doesn't
  exist on that type (JWT payload field name leaked into the wrong type)
- sliding-window-throttler.guard.ts: removed a user-tier rate-limit
  multiplier keyed on AuthenticatedUser.tier, a field never present
  anywhere in the auth/user model — dead, unbacked logic. Removed its
  now-orphaned tests too.
- agent.controller.ts: AstroidThrottlerGuard used but never imported;
  dropped an unused SlidingWindowThrottlerGuard import block
- risk.service.ts: event-driven risk scoring built a RiskFactorsInput
  with fields (destination/velocityCount/isNewRecipient) that don't
  exist on the current type; mapped to the real shape instead
- risk.service.spec.ts: removed orphaned unused fixtures
- stellar.service.ts (src/modules/stellar/services, unused elsewhere
  in the app but still typechecked/tested): getTransactionInfo called
  a client method that doesn't exist (real method is getTransaction);
  simulateTransaction passed a bare string where the client expects
  an options object
- stellar.service.spec.ts: rewritten against the real
  SorobanSimulationResult shape; fixed mockResolvedValueOnce/
  mockRejectedValueOnce being consumed by the test's own first
  assertion, leaving the second call unmocked
- transaction.service.spec.ts: rewritten against TransactionService's
  actual create() contract (it doesn't call Soroban simulation at all;
  the previous spec tested a flow that was never implemented) and a
  real Ed25519 checksum address
- sensitive-rate-limit.integration.spec.ts: app.inject() doesn't exist
  on this Express-platform app; switched to app.listen + fetch,
  matching the sibling public-rate-limit.integration.spec.ts pattern,
  and named the test throttler 'api' so AstroidThrottlerGuard's
  tier-matching actually engages it

Subject: [PATCH 33/38] Fix remaining pre-existing lint errors and undocumented
 env vars

CI runs lint and test repo-wide, so these also blocked the PR:

- 4 pre-existing no-explicit-any lint errors in throttler guard code
  and specs, typed properly instead of suppressed
- 4 THROTTLE_* env vars (WEBHOOK_LIMIT, API_BURST, AUTH_BURST,
  WEBHOOK_BURST) were validated by the env schema but missing from
  docs/configuration.md, failing the docs-sync test

Subject: [PATCH 34/38] perf(auth): cache session revocation answers during
 token verification
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Every authenticated request performed a Redis round trip against the
token blacklist to answer "is this session still revoked?". This adds a
short-TTL caching layer in front of the blacklist so repeated
verifications within one window skip the Redis query entirely.

- Add CacheService: a small get/set/delete cache over the shared
  REDIS_CLIENT with TTL-bounded entries, JSON payloads, and SCAN-based
  prefix invalidation. Every operation degrades to a no-op/miss on Redis
  failure so caching can never break the request path.
- Add TokenVerificationCacheService: caches per-session revocation
  answers for TOKEN_CACHE_TTL seconds (default 30, well below the
  15-minute access-token lifetime) and exposes invalidation hooks.
- Wire the cache into JwtStrategy.validate (cache-first, source of truth
  on miss, fail-open unchanged on Redis outages).
- Hook invalidation into every revocation path: TokenBlacklistService
  drops the cached answer after each blacklist write (including on
  Redis-outage fallback), AuthService invalidates on logout and on
  refresh rotation, so revocations are observed immediately instead of
  after the TTL window.

Revocation reliability is preserved because no cached answer outlives
its TTL, and explicit logout/rotation clears the entry at once.

Tests: unit suites for CacheService and TokenVerificationCacheService
(hits, misses, resolver fallback, invalidation hooks), an integration
suite proving repeated authentications trigger a single blacklist
lookup and that logout flips a cached-valid session to 401 immediately,
plus updated JwtStrategy/TokenBlacklistService/api-key integration
suites for the new wiring.

Closes #341

Subject: [PATCH 35/38] fix(ci): resolve typecheck and lint failures across
 specs, guards, and docs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Get CI green for the token-verification cache PR by fixing pre-existing
main-branch type errors alongside PR-specific ones: Express specs no longer
use Fastify-only app.inject, Stellar mocks match the real Soroban result
interface, the transaction spec exercises the actual create pipeline,
TokenBlacklistService resolves the global REDIS_CLIENT token explicitly,
and the configuration docs cover every THROTTLE_* env var the docs test
asserts.

Subject: [PATCH 36/38] feat(rate-limit): configurable limits and client
 identifiers for public routes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Public endpoints are the first thing abusive traffic hits, but their
limits were a single fixed IP budget: every public route shared
PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS per window, and all clients behind one
shared address (NAT, office egress, CI runners) exhausted one bucket
together. This makes the public rate limiter configurable per route and
per client identifier, on the existing Redis sliding-window counter.

- Add @PublicRateLimit(max, windowSeconds) decorator: per-route (or
  per-controller) budget overrides resolved by the guard through
  Reflector; the global PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_* settings remain the default.
- Add PUBLIC_RATE_LIMIT_CLIENT_IDENTIFIERS (optional, comma-separated,
  currently 'apiKey'): when enabled, a presented x-api-key or
  ApiKey/Bearer ak_... Authorization header is folded into the bucket
  key so distinct key-holding clients behind one IP get their own
  budgets. The IP always participates; keyless callers share the
  plain-IP bucket as before.
- Extract a testable PublicRateLimitGuard.check() returning the full
  decision (allowed, limit, windowSeconds, count, resetAt); canActivate
  keeps its existing 429 + X-RateLimit-Limit/Remaining/Reset +
  Retry-After contract and in-memory fallback on Redis outage.

Tests: unit suites for per-route rule resolution, identifier bucketing
(with/without identifiers configured), header correctness on allowed
and limited requests, and @SkipPublicRateLimit() interaction with rules;
an HTTP-level integration suite simulating bursts that proves the
429-with-headers behaviour at the global limit, per-route overrides
(next to unaffected sibling routes), and per-key budget isolation.
Existing public-rate-limit suites pass unchanged (bucket keys keep the
ip: prefix, so stored counters stay compatible).

Closes #342

Subject: [PATCH 37/38] fix(ci): resolve typecheck and lint failures across
 specs, guards, and docs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Get CI green for the token-verification cache PR by fixing pre-existing
main-branch type errors alongside PR-specific ones: Express specs no longer
use Fastify-only app.inject, Stellar mocks match the real Soroban result
interface, the transaction spec exercises the actual create pipeline,
TokenBlacklistService resolves the global REDIS_CLIENT token explicitly,
and the configuration docs cover every THROTTLE_* env var the docs test
asserts.

Subject: [PATCH 38/38] fix(config): deduplicate parseClientIdentifiers and
 pass the raw variable
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The duplicated helper also ignored its parameter while the config factory
read the raw variable at the call site with none, so the module never
compiled. Collapse to a single parser that takes the raw value.
