# Backlog — showcase hardening

Ordered work packages that take this POC from "good" to **reference showcase**: CIBG
design-system fidelity, DDD/FP consistency, Storybook as curriculum, and WCAG compliance
with automated gates. Source: the architecture/CIBG/a11y audit of 2026-07-02 (plan:
"Showcase hardening").

This backlog **supersedes `docs/SHOWCASE-ROADMAP.md`**.

## Session protocol

- **Switch to Opus first** (`/model opus`) before tackling any WP.
- **One WP per session.** Read `CLAUDE.md`, this README, the WP file, and the WP's
  "Read first" list — then execute. Do not start the next WP in the same session.
- The **Decisions** block in each WP is pre-made — don't relitigate it.
- A WP ends **GREEN** (below) with its acceptance criteria checked off and its Status
  updated to `done` (+ commit hash).
- No WP leaves a lint rule/check disabled without an inline justification comment **and**
  a cross-reference to the WP that will remove it.

## GREEN (global definition of done)

```bash
npm run lint && npm run check:tokens && npm test && npm run build && npm run build-storybook
```

From WP-01 onward, additionally:

```bash
npm run test-storybook:ci
```

Backend stays untouched throughout (frontend-only backlog); `cd backend && dotnet test`
only needs re-running if a WP unexpectedly touches `backend/`.

## Order

Gates land before the work they cover; each lint rule lands in the same WP as the fixes
for its existing violations, so every WP ends green.

Sequencing dependencies (stated in the WPs too): 01 before 10–15 (axe covers story churn);
03/04 before 05–09 (boundaries stop new violations during refactors); 06 before 07 (typed
`<app-async>` before brief adopts it); 13 defines the gap-marker format that 11/12 reference
— if 11/12 run first, they define it and 13 adopts it.
