MichilisandClaude Opus 5 6620650e9e phase-5: declarations, from generated numbers to a PDF you file yourself
Formulario 120 and 515 assembly, the review screen, approval, the PDF, and the
guided checklist that walks the user through presenting it in Marangatu.

Approval is a promise about what the user actually saw: the numbers are
recomputed on the way in, and if the documents moved since the declaration was
generated the answer is a 409 with the fresh figures stored as a draft, not a
silent approval of numbers nobody read. An approved declaration is never
regenerated or invalidated.

Editing, confirming, rejecting or reclassifying a document flips any ready
declaration covering its period back to draft, which is what the dashboard
reads to stop offering it for review.

The PDF is rendered once and cached against the declaration, so two downloads
are byte for byte the same document; every write that changes the numbers
clears the cache. Approval pre-renders it, and the route renders on demand, so
a failed job costs a wait rather than a missing file. It stays Spanish in both
locales, like the form it mirrors, and carries a BORRADOR watermark until it is
approved.

The seeded declarations are computed through the same code path the product
uses, so their figures agree with the documents behind them.

Three defects the screenshots caught: the floating scan button swallowed the
tap meant for Aprobar on a phone, the summary breakdown reused labels meant for
other screens, and five tab labels collided at 390px.

Tests that can avoid depending on a fresh seed now do; the ones that cannot say
so in the assertion rather than timing out. db:reset warns that the API has to
be stopped first, having learned that the hard way.

293 vitest tests, 59 Playwright tests, rules coverage still 100%, typecheck and
lint clean.

# DECISIONS
One entry per decision that is not already obvious from the specs. Newest phase last.
Markers used in the code:
- `// SPEC-GAP:` the specs did not settle this and a choice was made here.
- `// TODO-TAX-VERIFY:` a tax rule that RULES.md does not state. Never invented, always flagged.

## Blocking gaps in the source material
### RULES.md was missing during phase 0, supplied for phase 1
`packages/rules` shipped phase 0 with only `RULES_VERSION` and the phase 0 seed stopped
short of profiles, because the RUC check digit and the deadline digit are RULES.md
algorithms. Both are implemented in phase 1 and the seed can now be completed.
**Resolved.**
### `boneyard` and `canvas-ui` are not the packages the prompt means
_Still open. The `<Skeleton name>` component is in place and used on every data screen, so
swapping in the real library is one file._
Both names resolve on npm to unrelated projects: `boneyard@0.1.4` is a 2015 Backbone
"architectural toolkit", `canvas-ui@0.2.3` is a Mesosphere Bootstrap theme. Neither does
skeleton loading or canvas effects. Neither is needed before phase 7.
Plan unless corrected: keep the *behaviour* the prompt specifies (skeletons on every
content load and never a spinner; canvas effects in exactly two places, degrading
gracefully) behind a single `<Skeleton name>` component and a single effect component, so
swapping in the real library later is a one file change.
**Please confirm the intended packages before phase 7.**
### Neither named skill is installed
`ponytail` and `ui-ux-pro-max-skill` are not available in this environment. Their stated
intent was applied by hand: nothing speculative, no unused configuration, and FLOWS.md
section 1 as the design constraint.
---
## Phase 0
### Migrations: better-auth generates its own four tables, we own the rest
`src/db/migrator.ts` runs two ordered steps: better-auth's `getMigrations()` creates and
updates `user`, `session`, `account` and `verification`, then the Kysely migrator applies
`src/db/migrations`. Delegating the auth tables keeps them in step with the installed
better-auth version and emits correct DDL for both dialects, so no hand written dialect
SQL was needed for them. Upgrading better-auth in a way that adds a column means adding a
migration that calls the same generator again.
### The whole schema ships in migration `001_core`, not phase by phase
Every table in SPEC.md section 5 is created now. The schema is fully specified and stable;
splitting it across phases would produce a pile of migration files and no benefit before
release. Later phases add modules on top, not tables.
### Timestamps and money are portable by construction
Timestamps are ISO-8601 text and dates are `YYYY-MM-DD` text in both dialects: they sort
chronologically as strings, so no dialect specific date type or comparison is needed
anywhere. Money is `bigint`, because guaranies pass int4 at about Gs. 2.100.000.000, and
`apps/api/src/db/postgres.ts` registers an int8 parser that returns a number and throws
outside the safe integer range.
### `/api` is proxied by a route handler, not a Next rewrite
SPEC-GAP against SPEC.md section 2, which specifies Next rewrites. Next bakes rewrite
destinations into the build manifest, so `API_INTERNAL_URL` would become a build time
value and one image could not serve both compose and k8s. `apps/web/app/api/[...path]/route.ts`
forwards at request time instead. The single origin model is unchanged: the browser only
ever sees the web origin, cookies stay first party, and there is still no CORS anywhere.
### Workspace packages ship TypeScript source with no build step
`packages/*` have no `dist`. The web app lists them in `transpilePackages` and tsup bundles
them into the API. Their relative imports are extensionless, because Turbopack does not
rewrite a `.js` specifier onto a `.ts` source file.
### The es catalog is split from the strings COPY.md does not define
`catalogs/es.ts` is generated from COPY.md and is verbatim; `copy-parity.test.ts` re-derives
it from `docs/COPY.md` on every run and fails on any drift, in either direction. Strings the
product needs that COPY.md does not list (the seven error envelope messages, three sign in
labels, the language switcher) live in `catalogs/es.extra.ts` and follow the tone rules in
COPY.md section 0. `es` is the merge of the two.
### `decl.approve` is both a message and a namespace
COPY.md defines `decl.approve` (the button) alongside `decl.approve.confirmTitle`. A nested
message tree cannot hold both, and next-intl walks a nested tree. `unflatten` moves such a
message to a reserved `_` child and `resolveKey` maps the key for callers, so components
still address messages by their COPY.md key. `apps/web/src/i18n/t.ts` is the wrapper; it is
computed from the catalog, so a future collision is handled without another change.
### Locale negotiation on `/`
next-intl's default detection is left on: a browser asking for English lands on `/en`,
anything else falls back to `es`. The en catalog exists for expats and international users
(COPY.md section 0-EN), which is exactly the population whose browser is in English. An
explicit choice through the switcher always wins and is in the URL.
### SQLite refuses `JOBS_INLINE=false`
Implemented literally as SPEC.md section 15 instructs, which is narrower than the mode
matrix in the same section: that table allows "SQLite, 1 dedicated worker" under Split
small. Two pollers cannot be made safe against a single writer, so the boot check wins and
SQLite stays single process. Worth reconciling in SPEC.md.
### Deferred to the phase that needs them, deliberately
- `RateLimiter`: SPEC.md section 6 specifies a token bucket, but the first endpoint with a
stated limit is `GET /lookup/ruc/:number` in phase 2. better-auth's own rate limiting
covers the auth routes until then.
- DTO schemas in `packages/contracts`: enums, the error envelope, the client and
`ProfileDto` exist because phase 0 uses them. The rest arrive with their endpoints.
- Storage in `/readyz`: the check covers the database and pending migrations. The storage
driver probe is added in phase 3 with the driver.
### Smaller choices
- TypeScript 5.9, not 7.x: `typescript-eslint@8` declares `typescript <6.1.0`.
- `better-sqlite3` is kept out of `onlyBuiltDependencies`: it ships prebuilt binaries, so
letting pnpm run the implicit `node-gyp rebuild` would compile it for nothing and force a
toolchain into the image.
- The language switcher is a native `<select>`: one dependency fewer than a popover, and
the better mobile and keyboard experience for a two item choice.
- `apps/web/proxy.ts`, not `middleware.ts`: Next 16 deprecates the middleware convention.
- The dark mode palette and the `dark` variant are wired now; the toggle itself is phase 7
polish. System preference works today.
- `audit_log` is append only by construction: the module exposes no update or delete. A
database trigger was written and then removed, because it would have been the only piece
of dialect specific SQL outside the two files SPEC.md section 5 allows.
### Legal pages
`/legal/privacidad` and `/legal/terminos` do not exist yet (they belong to phase 2's
marketing routes). Per COPY.md section 13 they will ship with clearly marked placeholder
content and no generated legal text. **TODO: human written before launch.**
---
## Phase 1
### TODO-TAX-VERIFY register
Every item RULES.md flags, where it is implemented, and the test that pins today's
behaviour so verification is a red/green diff rather than archaeology.
| # | What needs verifying | Implemented in | Pinned by |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IRP tranche boundaries (50M, 150M) and the Gs. 80.000.000 registration threshold, against the live DNIT tables for the current fiscal year | `constants.ts` | `constants.test.ts` "pins the IRP tranche boundaries and threshold pending verification" |
| 2 | The RUC check digit algorithm (modulo 11, basis 2) against at least five real published RUCs | `ruc.ts` | `ruc.test.ts` "pins the check digit it computes today" and "agrees with an independent transcription" |
| 3 | Government decreed one off holidays and "dias no laborables trasladables", and movable holidays past 2028 | `holidays.ts` | `calendario.test.ts` "pins that movable holidays are only known for 2026 to 2028" |
| 4 | F120 casilla numbers, currently placeholder keys, against the live Marangatu F120 v4 | `forms/f120.v1.ts` | `forms.test.ts` "pins that they are still placeholders" |
| 5 | F515 casilla numbers, same | `forms/f515.v1.ts` | same test |
| 6 | The progressive-by-tranche reading of the IRP rates | `f515.ts` `taxForNetIncome` | `f515.test.ts` bracket edge suite, including the worked example |
Nothing outside this list was invented. Where RULES.md was silent the gap is marked
`SPEC-GAP` in the code and listed below.
### Both worked examples reproduce exactly
RULES.md section 6 gives F120 a Gs. 277.273 monto a pagar and a Gs. 350.000 flip case;
section 7 gives F515 a Gs. 11.290.000 tax at a 5,65% effective rate. Both are transcribed
verbatim as tests and both pass on the first implementation, which is the main evidence
that the integer money math and the rounding rule are right.
### Coverage is enforced, not observed
`vitest.config.ts` fails the run below 100% statements, branches, functions and lines for
`packages/rules`. Three defensive throws carry an explicit `v8 ignore` and a comment
saying why they are unreachable: the bounded loops in `rollForward` and `nextDeadline`
guard against an edit to `holidays.ts` that would otherwise spin forever, and no input can
reach them with any sane holiday table.
### Classification emits reason codes, not sentences
CONTRACTS.md types `reasons` as `string[]` and RULES.md gives one of them as Spanish text
("Sin categoria sugerida"). A pure, locale free package cannot emit user facing copy in
one language without breaking the en locale, which is a hard constraint. `classify`
therefore returns stable codes and `packages/i18n` carries a `classification.reason.*`
string per code, with RULES.md's wording used verbatim for the Spanish of that one.
### SPEC-GAPs in the tax logic
**`taxpayer.hasIrp` gates the deduction amount.** RULES.md states the IVA eligibility test
in full but never says whether being registered for IRP is required for a deduction. It is
the only field of the documented `ClassificationInput` that would otherwise go unused, so
it gates `irpDeductibleAmount`. The category is still suggested either way, so the data is
already correct if the user registers for IRP later. Pinned in `classification.test.ts`.
**A sale reads as "no keyword hit", so its confidence is 0,4.** RULES.md defines confidence
only for the keyword map, and a sale can never hit it. Taking that literally rather than
inventing a number means sales never reach the auto confirm threshold. Worth a decision
before the auto confirm sweep ships in phase 4. Pinned in `classification.test.ts`.
**"Annualized YTD sales" is straight line.** RULES.md section 8 names the fallback without
defining it: sales so far, scaled by the share of the year elapsed. It is only ever shown
as a "proyeccion" and never filed.
**Ñ folds to N when normalising an emitter name.** The tilde is a diacritic to Unicode, so
"diacritic-insensitive" folds it. No keyword contains Ñ, so matching is unaffected, and
folding is the forgiving choice when a printed name spells it either way.
**CDC type `07` maps to DocKind `otro`.** `nota de remision` is a known CDC document type
but has no DocKind of its own in CONTRACTS.md section 2. The code and its Spanish label
survive on the parsed fields, so nothing is lost.
**`nextDeadline` returns a `Date`, as RULES.md types it.** Every calculation inside the
package works on civil year/month/day values, and the returned `Date` is midnight UTC of
that civil date, so it cannot drift a day with the host timezone. `America/Asuncion` is
consulted in exactly one place, `todayInAsuncion`.
### The IRP category vocabulary lives in packages/rules
`packages/contracts` now imports `IRP_CATEGORIES` from `packages/rules` and builds its Zod
enum from it, rather than declaring the eight strings a second time. The vocabulary sits
next to the tax logic that uses it and the two cannot drift.
### Local ports: web 3005, and the API must agree
`apps/web/.env.example` ships `PORT=3005` and `apps/api/.env.example` names the same port
in `APP_PUBLIC_URL` and `BETTER_AUTH_URL`. They have to agree: better-auth checks the
request Origin, so a mismatch makes sign in fail with a 403 that looks nothing like a port
problem. `http://localhost` and `http://127.0.0.1` are different origins too, which is why
the Playwright default base URL uses localhost.
This deviates from the literal example values in SPEC.md section 15, which use port 3000.
The compose stack still publishes 3000 and is unaffected.
---
## Phase 2
### The seed is now complete for identity
Maria is an individual whose RUC is her CI plus a check digit: base `4123456`, DV computed
by `computeRucDv`, so her filing digit is 6 and her day is the 19th, which is the example
FLOWS.md uses throughout. Carlos is a company registered for IVA only, so the IVA-only view
has real data behind it. Both have consents, notification preferences and the audit rows
CONTRACTS.md section 4 asks for. Documents arrive in phase 3.
### `GET /lookup/ruc/:number` reads a bare number as a CI
A number with a hyphen and a check digit is a RUC and the digit is verified. A bare number
is a CI, which is what individuals type when their RUC is their CI plus a digit; the filing
day is identical either way, which is the only thing the landing card shows. Neither form
touches the database: the endpoint reveals only what the number itself already encodes.
An unparseable number is a 200 with `valid: false`, per CONTRACTS.md section 3, so the
landing corrects the user inline rather than dead ending.
### Freezing an account reuses better-auth's ban flag
Both a deletion and a data processing consent revocation set `banned` with a distinct
`banReason` and drop every session. That reuses the check better-auth's sign in path
already performs, rather than introducing a second, parallel notion of a disabled account
that some code path would eventually forget to check. Nothing is destroyed yet: the purge
is a job, which lands with the jobs module in phase 4 (`softDeleteAccount` carries the TODO).
### `deadlineDigit` is derived, never accepted from the client
`PUT /me/profile` takes `ProfileInput`, which is `ProfileDto` minus `deadlineDigit`. The
digit decides real filing dates, so it is computed from the identity document server side.
The document itself is read only on the profile screen for the same reason: changing it is
a support conversation, not a text field.
### Deactivating a dependant rather than deleting it
A confirmed document may already be classified against a dependant, and that classification
has to keep making sense. `DELETE /me/dependents/:id` sets `active = 0`; the list filters on
it. Scoped by `user_id`, so one user cannot touch another's row (404, tested).
### Two real defects found by building the screens
**The OTP boxes dropped a digit.** The handler spread the pasted code inside a `setState`
updater and fired the focus move and the verify request from in there. React 19 invokes
updaters twice in development to check they are pure, so the effects ran twice and a digit
was lost. The spread is now computed outside the updater. Caught by golden path 1.
**The switch knob rendered outside its track.** `translate-x-5.5` does not resolve, so the
knob sat 44px along a 44px track, entirely outside it. Now `left-0.5` plus `translate-x-5`,
both on the spacing scale. `e2e/profile.spec.ts` asserts the knob stays within the track
bounds in both states, because this is invisible to every other kind of test.
### Deferred, deliberately
- **Motion.** FLOWS.md A2 and A6 call for GSAP (the card flip, the deadline stagger, the
first savings counter) and A1 for a canvas hero effect. The phase plan puts the motion
pass and the canvas touches in phase 7, so the screens here are built with the right
structure and states and no animation.
- **Push and Telegram.** Hidden until configured (FLOWS.md section 9). Setup step 3 offers
only email today; `POST /push/subscribe` needs the service worker and arrives in phase 7.
- **`/comprobantes`.** The first run buttons point at it. Ingestion is phase 3.
### The legal pages ship as marked placeholders
`/legal/privacidad` and `/legal/terminos` render "Documento en preparacion" and say a
document is being drafted, per COPY.md section 13. No legal text was generated.
**TODO: human written before launch.**
---
## Phase 3
### The pipeline has three doors, and the trustworthy one wins
`ingestScan` tries the QR first, then queued OCR, then the manual form. A QR that will not
parse is recorded as an ingest error and falls through rather than failing the scan, so a
smudged code never costs the user their photograph.
**A QR carries the emitter's RUC but not its name.** Verifying a CDC against DNIT is out of
scope for v1 (SPEC.md section 10 makes `verify_cdc` a noop), so a QR-only document shows
`RUC 80011223` as its emitter and the keyword classifier cannot match on it: it lands in
"Sin categoria" and the user picks one in the bandeja. Worth revisiting when CDC
verification exists, since it is the one thing standing between a QR scan and a fully
automatic classification.
### `dedupe_hash` is defined here, not in the specs
SPEC-GAP. SPEC.md section 8 requires the column and never says what goes in it. With a CDC
it is the CDC, which identifies a comprobante nationally. Without one it is
`emitter | date | total | kind`, the tuple a human would use. Two photos of the same
factura collapse; two genuinely different facturas from the same shop on the same day for
the same amount would collapse too, which is why a merge is shown to the user ("Ya tenias
esta factura") rather than applied silently.
A merge prefers QR sourced data over OCR or typing, and never overwrites a classification
the user has already decided.
### Job claiming is the only dialect divergence, as specified
`jobs/claim.ts` holds both: Postgres takes `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` inside a transaction so
N workers take different rows; SQLite relies on its single writer and a conditional
`UPDATE ... WHERE status = 'pending'`, where the changed-row count decides the winner. A
test claims five queued jobs five times and asserts no id comes back twice.
Retries follow SPEC.md section 10 exactly (1m, 5m, 25m, 2h, 12h, then dead) and a job
abandoned by a killed process returns to the queue once its lock is older than
`JOBS_STALE_MINUTES`. That is the phase 3 acceptance case and it has three tests: recovery,
the negative case of a merely slow job, and a restarted poller finishing the recovered work.
### OCR is structured output, not prose parsing
The Anthropic call uses `messages.parse` with a Zod schema, so the model cannot return
anything but the shape in RULES.md section 9 and there is no JSON to repair. Every field is
nullable because "unreadable" is a real answer. `temperature: 0` from RULES.md is not sent:
the current models reject sampling parameters, and constraining the output format achieves
what the setting was there for.
A dead `ocr_extract` job records an ingest error; a retryable failure does not, so a
transient API blip never shows up in the user's error list.
### The fixtures are decoder fixtures, not visual replicas
SPEC-GAP against CONTRACTS.md section 4, which suggests HTML or canvas. `scripts/render-fixtures.ts`
draws them with raw pixels and a real, decodable QR. Faithful KUDE artwork would mean
carrying a browser or an SVG rasteriser to produce three images that nothing but a decoder
ever reads; the emitter, date and totals live in `fixtures.ts`, which is where the tests and
the seed read them from. A test decodes all three and asserts the third has no QR.
### The ZXing wasm is served from our own origin
`zxing-wasm` fetches it from a CDN by default, which the CSP forbids and which would break
the offline queue. A script copies it into `public/zxing` before dev and build. Headless
Chromium has no `BarcodeDetector`, so the e2e runs exercise the ZXing path end to end,
which is the fallback that matters most.
### Two defects the screens surfaced
**Seeded documents were dated in the future.** `seedDate` placed current-month documents on
a fixed day of the month, so a day-8 document seeded on the 4th landed four days ahead. A
comprobante dated in a period that has not happened corrupts every projection computed from
it. `seedDate` now clamps to today and has its own tests.
**Category buttons announced their keyboard shortcut.** The 1-to-8 hints were part of each
button's accessible name, so a screen reader read "Alimentacion 1". They are `aria-hidden`
now with an explicit label on the button.
### Test isolation against a shared demo account
The flows that confirm and reject run against Maria's bandeja, which is shared mutable
state. They are serial and desktop only, and `bandeja.spec.ts` covers the same screen on a
phone viewport without mutating anything. A test that creates a document varies the total
as well as the name, because the name is deliberately not part of the dedupe key.
### Deferred, deliberately
- **The scan FAB.** FLOWS.md B1 puts a persistent `[+ Escanear]` on every `(app)` screen.
There is no tab bar to anchor it above until the dashboard lands, so scanning is reached
from `/inicio`, `/comprobantes` and the empty bandeja. The FAB arrives with the app shell
in phase 4.
- **The offline queue.** FLOWS.md B2. It needs the service worker, which is phase 7.
- **Auto-confirm.** The setting and its copy are live; the sweep that acts on it is a job
for phase 4.
- **Seeded declarations.** CONTRACTS.md section 4 asks for a ready F120 and an approved one.
The declarations module is phase 5 and seeds them then; phase 3 seeds the documents they
will be computed from.
---
## Phase 4
### The dashboard does no arithmetic
`modules/dashboard` chooses inputs and calls `packages/rules`. Every figure on the screen
comes out of `computeF120`, `projectIrp` or `savingsThisMonth`, and the acceptance test
asserts the API's numbers equal what those functions return over the same rows, before and
after the bandeja is confirmed (CONTRACTS.md 5.2). Confirmed documents only: nothing the
user has not agreed to is ever counted.
The IVA carry-in comes from the last approved F120's summary and is zero when there is
none, per RULES.md section 8.
### A deadline before the obligation existed is not overdue
`upcomingDeadlines` skips any period earlier than the `since` date on the obligation.
Without it a brand new account opens on a red "overdue" card for a period that predates it,
which is both wrong and the worst possible first impression.
Maria still shows overdue, correctly: she has been registered since 2024 and has filed
nothing, because declarations arrive in phase 5.
### Sweeps are idempotent by dedupe key, not by bookkeeping
Each sweep is enqueued with a key naming the day (or the hour, for the digest) it belongs
to, so a restarted poller, a second replica and a crash mid-sweep all converge on one run.
The notifications they queue are keyed the same way, down to the milestone:
`deadline:<user>:<obligation>:<period>:T-10` can only be queued once, whatever else
happens. Sweeps queue notifications rather than sending them, so a channel being down
retries on the job schedule instead of losing the message.
The time-travel test derives T-10 from `dueDateFor` rather than hardcoding a date, so it
follows the calendario rather than restating it.
### Auto-confirm only touches what the rules were sure about
The sweep confirms documents older than the user's window whose classification is still
`decided_by = 'auto'` and at least 0.85 confident. A low confidence read is exactly the
thing a person still needs to look at, and a decision the user already made is never
revisited. Zero days means off.
### An unconfigured channel is absent, not broken
`createChannels` returns `null` per channel when its configuration is missing. The fan-out
skips those, the profile screen hides them, and a user with everything off receives nothing
at all, which is the setting working rather than a failure. One dead push subscription does
not stop the others; a frozen account is not a recipient.
### `hasDocuments` extends DashboardDto
SPEC-GAP. FLOWS.md A6 wants the guided empty state until the first comprobante lands, and a
position of all zeros is indistinguishable from a real one without this. It is an addition
to CONTRACTS.md section 2, not a rename.
### `insight_dismissals` is a new table
SPEC-GAP. FLOWS.md C3 requires dismissals to persist and SPEC.md section 5 lists nowhere to
put them. One row per dismissal keeps the dashboard read free of per-user JSON to merge.
### The scan button is now global
FLOWS.md B1 asks for a persistent scan affordance on every `(app)` screen. It arrives with
the tab bar, and the per-screen scan link that stood in for it on `/comprobantes` is gone,
since two of them on one screen is one too many.
### A copy bug the screenshot caught
The overdue card filled a `{period}` slot with the formatted due date, so it read "sin
presentar de 19 de marzo". The string now says what the data actually is: a form that was
due on a date and never filed.
### Test isolation, again
The read-only bandeja tests run against Carlos rather than Maria, because the mutating
ingestion flows pull cards out of Maria's stack and two workers cannot share one queue.
The suite also erodes the seed it runs against: after a run, documents that started in the
bandeja are confirmed and insights are dismissed, so the next run is not the same run.
`pnpm db:reset` rebuilds the local database from the migrations and the seed, and the
README says to use it before an e2e run. It refuses to touch anything but a local SQLite
file, because it is destructive by definition, and it warns that the API has to be stopped
first: deleting a file the running process holds open leaves it writing to an inode nothing
else can see, which looks like half the suite breaking at once.
Where a test can avoid depending on a fresh seed, it does. Golden path 4 generates its own
declaration for a month that has documents and no declaration yet, because approving is a
one way door. The ones that genuinely cannot, like scanning into an empty bandeja, say so
in the assertion message rather than timing out on a locator.
The dashboard's insight test self-skips once every insight for that account has been
dismissed, since dismissals persist by design; the persistence guarantee itself is asserted
against the API from a fresh database.
### Deferred, deliberately
- **Push subscription registration.** `POST /push/subscribe` needs the service worker, which
is phase 7. The channel itself is built and tested.
- **Telegram linking.** The channel sends to a stored `telegram_chat_id`; the flow that
obtains one is not in v1 scope.
- **Declarations.** `declaration_ready` is in the next-action priority and the sweep reads
from it, but nothing sets a declaration to `ready` until phase 5.
---
## Phase 5
### A generated declaration is `ready`, and approval is a promise about what was seen
Generating assembles the numbers and marks them `ready`: settled, waiting for a person to
agree. Approving recomputes them first, and if the documents moved in between it returns a
409, stores the new figures as a `draft`, and asks the user to look again. Approving
figures nobody saw is the one outcome that must be impossible, and it is the reason the
recompute happens on the way in rather than at render time.
An approved declaration is never regenerated or invalidated. Once a person has put their
name to a set of numbers, rewriting them behind their back is worse than any staleness.
### A document that moves invalidates the declaration that counted it
CONTRACTS.md 5.4. Confirming, rejecting, editing or reclassifying a document flips any
`ready` declaration covering its period back to `draft`, which is what the dashboard reads
to stop offering it for review. The month decides for a 120 and the year for a 515.
### The PDF is cached against the declaration, not regenerated per download
Two downloads of the same declaration are byte for byte the same document, which matters
when someone is transcribing from a printout. Every write that changes the numbers clears
`pdf_file_id`, which is what makes the cache safe. Approval enqueues a render so the
download on the success screen is instant; the route renders on demand too, so a failed
job costs a wait rather than a missing document.
### The form preview and the PDF stay Spanish in both locales
FLOWS.md section 1 and the COPY.md policy. The casilla labels mirror the DNIT form, and a
form whose labels have been translated is harder to transcribe from, not easier. The
caption around the preview says so in the reader's language. Two strings are hoisted out
of JSX with the reason written down, because the inline copy lint rule is right to flag
them and the answer is a comment, not an exception.
### The platform never files anything
Flow D3 is a checklist, not a submission: numbered steps, every casilla one tap from the
clipboard, and "Ya la presente" as the user telling us rather than us finding out. Marking
filed is only possible after approval, because the checklist is what follows approval.
### The seeded declarations are computed, not written down
CONTRACTS.md section 4 asks for a ready F120 for the previous month and an approved one two
months back. Both are assembled through the same code path the product uses, so their
figures agree with the documents behind them. A fixture whose numbers disagreed with its
own documents would be worse than no fixture.
### The declarations tab joined the shell
Five tabs now. Vencimientos stays reachable from the dashboard's deadline card and its
overdue action, so nothing lost a route.
### A test that had to grow
The next-action priority test now walks two rungs of the ladder rather than one: with the
seeded `ready` declaration in place, `declaration_ready` correctly outranks `bandeja`, and
the test approves it to check the fall through. The 5.4 test clears the outstanding
periods first, because `overdue` outranks everything and Maria has never filed a 515.
### Three defects the screenshots caught
**The scan button swallowed the tap meant for "Aprobar".** The floating button and the
sticky approve footer overlap on a 390px screen, and the desktop e2e never saw it because
the viewport is wider. The button now appears on the screens you arrive at, not on a detail
screen that has its own primary action, and a test asserts it.
**The summary breakdown was mislabelled.** It called the debito "A pagar" and the saldo
anterior "Casilla", because it reused keys meant for other screens. Three labels of its own
now.
**Five tab labels collided at 390px.** Smaller, truncating labels rather than dropping a
tab, since every one of them is a place the user needs to reach.
### Deferred, deliberately
- **Motion.** The confetti on approval and the canvas moment on the filed screen are
FLOWS.md D3; the motion pass and the canvas touches are phase 7. The screens are built
with the right structure and states.
- **Payment reminders after filing.** FLOWS.md D3 mentions scheduling one on "Ya lo
presente". The deadline sweep already covers T-2 and T-0 for the period; a separate
payment date is not in RULES.md and was not invented.
