# WP-05 — Parse-don't-validate closure + MDX

Status: todo
Phase: 1 — FP/DDD core

## Why

Three adapters trust the wire, contradicting the repo's flagship "parse, don't validate"
principle (every response through a hand-written `parse*` returning `Result`).

## Read first

- `CLAUDE.md` §3 + §4; `docs/architecture/0001-bff-lite-decision-dtos.md`
- `src/app/registratie/infrastructure/applications.adapter.ts` (+ its spec — the pattern
  to copy)
- The three offenders below

## Decisions (pre-made, don't relitigate)

- Unknown enum-ish values from the wire map to an explicit `Failure` (never a silent
  fallback); specs pin that behavior.
- The MDX curriculum page ships in this WP (the WP that establishes an invariant teaches
  it).

## Files

- `src/app/herregistratie/infrastructure/intake-policy.adapter.ts` — returns the raw DTO
  resource with no parse; add `parseIntakePolicy(raw: unknown): Result<string, …>` and a
  domain-side type
- `src/app/registratie/infrastructure/big-register.adapter.ts` (~line 25) —
  `n.type as AantekeningType` → validated parse
- `src/app/brief/infrastructure/brief.adapter.ts` (~line 189) — `dto.scope as
  PassageScope` → validated parse (the file is otherwise parse-heavy; this one field skips)
- New co-located specs: `intake-policy.adapter.spec.ts`, extend
  `big-register.adapter.spec.ts` / `brief.adapter.spec.ts` (create if missing)
- New `src/docs/parse-dont-validate.mdx` — title `Foundations/Parse, don't validate`

## Steps

1. For each hole: write the small parser (pattern: `parseAanvraagStatus` in
   `applications.adapter.ts`), wire it in, delete the cast.
2. Spec each parser: valid shape, missing field, unknown tag/enum value → `err`.
3. MDX page: the principle, value objects (`registratie/domain/value-objects/`), boundary
   parsers, linking the three real call sites just fixed (before/after snippet).

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] No unvalidated `as <DomainType>` casts in `**/infrastructure/**` (the sanctioned
      "narrow unknown to `Partial<Dto>` then parse" entry-cast is fine).
- [ ] Each new parser has a spec including a rejection case.
- [ ] MDX renders under Foundations in Storybook.

## Verification

GREEN + `npm run test-storybook:ci`. Smoke: intake wizard still loads its policy
(`npm start` → /intake).

## Out of scope

Runtime validation on *every* endpoint (explicitly out of scope for the POC per
CLAUDE.md); `digid.adapter.ts` (faked auth, sanctioned).

## Risks

Seeded backend data containing values the new parsers reject → surfaces as `Failure` in
the UI; check the backend seed while writing the parsers and align the accepted set.
