ehoandClaude Sonnet 5 3e983bd2cc feat(openzaak): real notification delivery to the BFF webhook (WP-58)
OpenZaak doesn't serve the Notificaties API itself (it's a separate app,
open-notificaties) — standing one up for a real abonnement would triple
this harness for a benefit it doesn't need (exactly one subscriber, this
repo's own BFF). Instead, an opt-in compose overlay adds a celery worker
and points OpenZaak's NotificationsConfig straight at the BFF's webhook
via a zgw_consumers Service; bootstrap-notificaties.sh configures it
idempotently and verify-notificatie.sh proves a real write delivers to
the BFF's audit trail end-to-end.

Verified live: preflight proves the webhook's shared-secret gate both
ways (204/401), a zaak PATCH triggers real celery delivery, and rerunning
both scripts against an already-configured harness stays idempotent.

# OpenZaak / ZGW integration — how the BFF connects (& how to extend)
How the BFF sources (and now creates) cases, and uploads/links documents, against a real
**OpenZaak** (ZGW APIs) while the frontend stays unchanged. For the _why_, see
[ADR-0005](architecture/0005-openzaak-behind-bff.md); this page is _how the seam is built and
how to add the next slice_. Built in
[WP-49](../project/backlog/WP-49-openzaak-zaken-read-seam.md) (read-only zaken),
[WP-50](../project/backlog/WP-50-openzaak-create-zaak.md) (create-zaak), and
[WP-51](../project/backlog/WP-51-openzaak-documenten.md) (Documenten/DRC upload + zaak link).
## The one rule: OpenZaak sits behind the BFF, never in the browser
The Angular app only ever sees the BFF's decision DTOs (BFF-lite, ADR-0001). All ZGW
awkwardness — URL-as-identity, cross-service joins, JWT auth, pagination — is absorbed by the
.NET BFF. Flipping the data source from local SQLite to OpenZaak is a **backend config change**
with **zero frontend change and no api-client drift**.
## The seam (data source by config)
- `Data/IZaakSource.cs` — the cases READ + (WP-50) WRITE interface: `ListCases` and
`CreateZaak`. Both return the existing DTOs, so each implementation owns its own mapping.
`CreateZaak` also returns the zaak's URL (`ZaakUrl`, null under the local source) so WP-51
can later link documents to it.
- `Data/LocalZaakSource.cs`**default**; reads the local SQLite `ApplicationStore`
(offline, unchanged behaviour). `CreateZaak` is a pure passthrough of what the submit
endpoint already computed locally — no external call.
- `Zgw/OpenZaakZaakSource.cs` — the OpenZaak client; selected only when `Zgw:Enabled=true`.
`CreateZaak` posts a Zaak, then a Status, then a Rol (see below).
- `Data/IDocumentSource.cs` — the documents seam (WP-51), sibling of `IZaakSource`: `Upload`
and `LinkToZaak`. `Data/LocalDocumentSource.cs` is the same `DocumentStore.Add`/`Link` calls
the upload/submit endpoints used to make inline; `Zgw/OpenZaakDocumentSource.cs` also
registers each upload as a DRC document and links it to a zaak once one exists.
- Wiring (`Program.cs`): `if (Zgw:Enabled)` registers `OpenZaakZaakSource` +
`OpenZaakDocumentSource`, else `LocalZaakSource` + `LocalDocumentSource`. The `/admin/cases`
GET, the `/uploads` POST, and the `/applications/{id}/submit` POST all resolve their seam
from DI — routes + DTOs untouched either way.
## Create-zaak (WP-50) — the first write
`POST /applications/{id}/submit` already persists the aanvraag locally (`ApplicationStore.Submit`
— unconditionally, regardless of `Zgw:Enabled`, since draft/step/document bookkeeping stays
local either way) and only THEN calls `zaken.CreateZaak(submitted, now)`. The submit endpoint
never branches on `Zgw:Enabled` itself — DI already picked the implementation, so the endpoint
just asks the seam for `(Referentie, Status, ZaakUrl)` and returns the first two, unchanged, in
`SubmitApplicationResponse` (`ZaakUrl` is persisted via `ApplicationStore.SetZaakUrl` for
WP-51's document link, not returned to the FE). Under the default (local) source this returns
precisely what was just computed; under OpenZaak, three calls happen in order:
1. **POST zaak** (`{ZrcBaseUrl}/zaken`) — `zaaktype` resolved from `Zgw:ZaaktypeUrls[aanvraag.Type]`
(OpenZaak validates the URL by fetching it), `bronorganisatie`/`verantwoordelijkeOrganisatie`
(RSIN) from config, `identificatie` set to the **same** reference `ApplicationStore.Submit`
already generated — so the human-readable reference matches in both places, not two
independently-generated ones.
2. **POST status** (`{ZrcBaseUrl}/statussen`) — `statustype` resolved via a Catalogi GET
(`statustypen?zaaktype=...`, lowest `volgnummer`); marks the zaak as freshly opened.
3. **POST rol** (`{ZrcBaseUrl}/rollen`) — `roltype` resolved via a Catalogi GET
(`roltypen?zaaktype=...&omschrijvingGeneriek=initiator`); `betrokkeneIdentificatie.inpBsn`
set to the aanvraag's owner (BSN) — the acting citizen resolved by the identity seam (WP-53).
The created zaak's `identificatie` becomes the returned `Referentie`; its status maps to the
same coarse `InBehandeling` shape `ZgwZaakMapper` already uses for a freshly-opened zaak
(`ZgwZaakMapper.ToCreatedStatusDto`).
ponytail shortcuts, marked at the call sites: (a) "first statustype/roltype Catalogi returns"
rather than a fully-configured per-type map — fine while a zaaktype has exactly one initial
status and initiator role; (b) no compensating transaction — if any ZGW call throws, the
aanvraag is already `Submitted` locally with no matching zaak (acceptable for a demo backend;
a production arc needs retry/reconciliation or an outbox before trusting this dual-write).
## Documenten / DRC upload + zaak link (WP-51)
`POST /uploads` and `POST /applications/{id}/submit` route through `IDocumentSource` the same
way submit routes through `IZaakSource`: the local write (`DocumentStore.Add`/`Link`) always
happens first — it stays the record of truth for preview/download/audit regardless of
`Zgw:Enabled` — and `OpenZaakDocumentSource` additionally does the DRC side-effect:
1. **Upload** — POST `enkelvoudiginformatieobjecten` (`{DrcBaseUrl}`) with the file's base64
content, `informatieobjecttype` resolved from `Zgw:InformatieobjecttypeUrls[categoryId]`
(the document analogue of `ZaaktypeUrls`), `identificatie` set to the local document id. The
returned DRC url is persisted (`DocumentStore.SetDrcUrl`) so the link step below doesn't
need to re-upload.
2. **Link to zaak** — once `IZaakSource.CreateZaak` has returned a `ZaakUrl` (persisted via
`ApplicationStore.SetZaakUrl`), submit calls `documents.LinkToZaak(documentIds, zaakUrl)`,
which POSTs a `zaakinformatieobjecten` (`{ZrcBaseUrl}`) per document that has a `DrcUrl`.
Documents uploaded before a zaak existed (or under a config gap) have no `DrcUrl` yet and
are silently skipped — same "nothing extra to link" behaviour as the local source.
`ZgwHttpClient` (shared GET/POST-with-bearer-JWT plumbing) was factored out of
`OpenZaakZaakSource` once `OpenZaakDocumentSource` needed the identical boilerplate.
ponytail shortcut: `vertrouwelijkheidaanduiding` is hardcoded to `"openbaar"` — a per-category
confidentiality level would matter for production but isn't needed to prove the seam.
## The ZGW client (`backend/src/BigRegister.Api/Zgw/`)
- `ZgwOptions.cs` — bound from the `Zgw` appsettings section: `Enabled`, per-service base URLs
(`ZrcBaseUrl`, `ZtcBaseUrl`, `DrcBaseUrl`), `ClientId`, `Secret`, `UserId`,
`UserRepresentation`. The five ZGW APIs are separate base URLs; slices 13 need Zaken (ZRC),
Catalogi (ZTC), and Documenten (DRC).
- `ZgwTokenProvider.cs` — mints an **HS256 JWT per call** (`iss`/`client_id`/`iat`/`user_id`/
`user_representation`). No refresh flow — OpenZaak expires tokens 1h past `iat`, so per-call
minting is the recommended pattern. Hand-rolled (no `Microsoft.IdentityModel.*` dependency).
- `ZgwHttpClient.cs` — shared GET/POST-with-bearer-JWT plumbing used by both
`OpenZaakZaakSource` and `OpenZaakDocumentSource`. Every request also carries
`Accept-Crs`/`Content-Crs: EPSG:4326` — every ZGW call must declare a coordinate reference
system even when no geometry is involved, or a real OpenZaak 412s ("Content-Crs header
ontbreekt"). This was missing until WP-54's live harness caught it — the stub-handler tests
never modelled the header, so it had shipped silently since WP-49/50.
- `ZgwZaakMapper.cs` — the anti-corruption map: ZGW Zaak → `ApplicationSummaryDto`. This is
where **URL identity** becomes the trailing uuid and the **zaaktype URL** is resolved to a
human label (the cross-service join).
- `OpenZaakZaakSource.cs` — follows `{count,next,previous,results}` pagination, resolves +
caches zaaktype labels, attaches `Authorization: Bearer <jwt>`.
- `OpenZaakDocumentSource.cs` — DRC upload + zaak-link (WP-51), same auth/JSON pattern.
- `NotificatieDto.cs` + the `POST /api/v1/zgw/notificaties` endpoint (`Program.cs`, WP-52) — the
**inbound** NRC webhook, not a source/mapper: see the dedicated section below.
## Notificaties (NRC) webhook — inbound, WP-52
Unlike ZRC/ZTC/DRC (which the BFF calls outbound as a client), the Notificaties API calls
**this BFF** — OpenZaak POSTs a `NotificatieDto`-shaped body to `POST /api/v1/zgw/notificaties`
on every event on a subscribed kanaal. Auth is inverted too: no per-call JWT, just a fixed
shared secret compared in constant time (`CryptographicOperations.FixedTimeEquals`) against
`ZgwOptions.NotificatieAuthorization` — an unconfigured (empty) secret rejects every call,
never accepts. Every attempt (accept or reject) is written to the same `AuthzAuditStore` the
authz gate uses (`action="zgw:notificatie"`, `resource=hoofdObject` — a URL, not PII, `role="nrc"`)
via the store directly, since there's no `Principal` for an NRC caller to run through the
`AuditAuthz` helper.
There is no cache to invalidate today (`/admin/cases` and every other read already goes straight
to `IZaakSource` per call), so a valid notification's only visible effect right now is the audit
row proving the round-trip works end-to-end. Add real invalidation at the `// ponytail:` marker
in `Program.cs` if a cache is ever introduced.
**A real deployment provisioning is out-of-band, one-time config against a live OpenZaak — not
app code.** OpenZaak does not serve the Notificaties API itself — it's a separate application
(`open-notificaties`, its own image/DB/celery stack). Register the `abonnement` once (e.g. via
Open Notificaties' admin UI or a `POST` to its Abonnementen API) pointing at this BFF's public
URL:
```jsonc
{
"callbackUrl": "https://<this-bff>/api/v1/zgw/notificaties",
"auth": "<same value as Zgw:NotificatieAuthorization>",
"kanalen": [{ "filters": {}, "naam": "zaken" }],
}
```
`auth` is sent verbatim as the `Authorization` header on every callback (the NRC's
`auth_type=api_key` default) — no `Bearer` prefix, matching this endpoint's plain string
compare.
**The dev harness (WP-58) skips the NRC entirely** — see "Notifications-enabled profile"
below.
## Identity — the acting citizen (WP-53)
Everything above used to hardcode a single owner (`DocumentStore.DemoOwner`) and a single static
ZGW audit identity (`ZgwOptions.UserId`/`UserRepresentation`). WP-53 replaced both with one
per-request `CallerIdentity` (subject BSN + display name + role, `Domain/Authorization/
CallerIdentity.cs`):
- **Resolution**: an `IIdentityProvider` runs once per request (middleware in `Program.cs`,
right after the correlation-id middleware) into `HttpContext.Items`, read back everywhere via
`ctx.Caller()`. `StubIdentityProvider` (the only implementation today, **not a security
boundary**) reads the existing `X-Role` header (unchanged — mirrors the FE's `?role=` toggle)
plus a new `X-Subject` header for the BSN, defaulting to the single seeded citizen — so every
request that doesn't send `X-Subject` (which is every request today; the FE never sends it)
behaves exactly as before this WP. A production provider swaps in real OIDC/DigiD claims
without touching a single consumer.
- **`Authz.ResolvePrincipal(ctx)` kept its exact signature** — it now reads `ctx.Caller().Role`
instead of the header directly, so its ~15 call sites across `Program.cs` needed no changes.
- **Ownership**: every endpoint that used to pass `DocumentStore.DemoOwner` to a store
(`ApplicationStore`, `DocumentStore`, `BriefStore`) now passes `ctx.Caller().Bsn`.
- **The ZGW JWT** (`ZgwTokenProvider`) grew a `Mint(CallerIdentity)` overload alongside the
original parameterless `Mint()`: citizen-scoped calls (create-zaak, upload, zaak-link, the
citizen's own case list) mint with the caller's BSN/name as `user_id`/`user_representation`;
calls not tied to one citizen (the admin cross-owner list, Catalogi metadata lookups) keep
minting with the BFF's own system identity from `ZgwOptions`. `ZgwHttpClient.GetAsync`/
`PostAsync` take an optional `CallerIdentity?` that picks which `Mint` overload runs.
- **Citizen-scoped reads**: `IZaakSource` gained `ListMyCases(CallerIdentity, now)` alongside the
existing admin-only `ListCases(now)`. `LocalZaakSource` filters `ApplicationStore.List(bsn)`
(unchanged local behaviour); `OpenZaakZaakSource` appends ZGW's
`rol__betrokkeneIdentificatie__natuurlijkPersoon__inpBsn=<bsn>` query filter to `GET
{ZrcBaseUrl}/zaken`. `GET /applications` (the citizen's own dashboard) now routes through this
instead of calling `ApplicationStore` directly — the last "reads a static store directly" gap
the ACL caveat below used to flag for a citizen-facing endpoint.
## The five ZGW APIs (context for later slices)
| API | Component | Used by |
| ------------ | --------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Zaken | ZRC | slice 1 (read), WP-50 (create) |
| Catalogi | ZTC | slice 1 (zaaktype label; also type URLs for create) |
| Documenten | DRC | WP-51 (upload + zaak↔document link) |
| Besluiten | BRC | later (formal decisions) |
| Notificaties | NRC | WP-52 (live status via webhooks, not polling) |
## How to add the next slice
1. **Read** — extend `IZaakSource` (or add a sibling interface, like `IDocumentSource`, WP-51)
with the new operation; implement it on both the local store and the OpenZaak source. Keep
the return type the existing DTO so the FE never changes.
2. **Write** (create-zaak WP-50, DRC upload/link WP-51) — a create/upload needs a type URL
from Catalogi (OpenZaak validates it by fetching), then usually a follow-up call (`status` +
`rol` for a zaak; `zaakinformatieobject` for a document). Route it through the existing
submit/mutation seam.
3. **Enforce server-side** for anything the FE gates — a config value the FE echoes is never
the authority (ADR-0001).
## Coupling
Low and one-directional. Consumer coupling is near zero — `IZaakSource`/`IDocumentSource` are
each injected at one endpoint, and the FE is fully decoupled by the DTO. The producer side is
contained in `Zgw/`: add a slice by adding a source method + a mapper case, not by touching the
FE or the contract. Watch the **sync-over-async** `ponytail:` note in `OpenZaakZaakSource` (and
its `OpenZaakDocumentSource` sibling) — make the read/write paths async if OpenZaak becomes the
default.
## Run against real OpenZaak (WP-54)
Everything above was, until WP-54, only proven against fixtures + a stub `HttpMessageHandler`
no live OpenZaak. `backend/openzaak/` is a **separate**, opt-in docker-compose harness (never
merged into the root `docker-compose.yml`, which stays FE+BFF-only) that brings up a real
OpenZaak, seeds a minimal catalogus/zaaktype/zaak via a bootstrap script, and backs one
xunit test (`OpenZaakIntegrationTests.cs`, tagged `Category=Integration`) that points the BFF at
it with `Zgw:Enabled=true`. See `backend/openzaak/README.md` for the exact commands; the test is
excluded from the default `dotnet test` run and from CI (`--filter Category!=Integration`) since
it only passes with the harness up.
This is also where the `Content-Crs`/`Accept-Crs` header gap above was found: a real OpenZaak
enforces ZGW's geo-header requirement in a way no stub-based test could catch, since a stub
never rejects an unexpected (or missing) header. That is the harness's whole point — proving
the seam against real protocol behaviour, not just the shapes we already assumed.
### Notifications-enabled profile (WP-58)
The base harness above runs with `NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED: 'true'` (no celery worker) — fine for
proving the read/write ZGW seam, but it means a write to a notified resource never actually
delivers anything. `docker-compose.openzaak.notificaties.yml` is an opt-in overlay that adds the
one celery worker OpenZaak needs to deliver a notification, and flips that flag off. The two
changes are inseparable: the moment `NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED` is false, OpenZaak's
`NotificationsConfig` must have a client configured or every write to a notified resource 500s
and rolls back (`NOTIFICATIONS_GUARANTEE_DELIVERY` defaults true) — so `bootstrap-notificaties.sh`
configures that client in the same step.
A real Notificaties API (NRC) is a separate application this harness doesn't stand up (see the
"Notificaties webhook" section above) — reproducing it here (its own DB + celery + a real
`abonnement`/kanaal registration) would roughly triple the harness for a benefit this dev loop
doesn't need: there's only ever one subscriber (this repo's own BFF). Instead
`bootstrap-notificaties.sh` points OpenZaak's `NotificationsConfig` straight at the BFF's webhook
via a `zgw_consumers.Service` (`auth_type=api_key`, so the configured secret is sent verbatim as
the `Authorization` header — exactly what the endpoint's plain string-compare expects). Same
delivery proof (`write → OpenZaak's celery worker → a real HTTP POST → the BFF's audit trail`),
far less to stand up and keep alive. A real deployment with more than one subscriber, or that
needs kanaal-filtered fan-out, needs a real NRC + `abonnement` — this harness's shortcut doesn't
model that.
The overlay's `celery` worker joins the repo root's own `docker compose up` network (by name,
`api`) to reach the BFF — `host.docker.internal:host-gateway` was tried first, but this
environment's rootless Podman doesn't route container→host-port traffic through it (DNS
resolves, every TCP connect times out); container-to-container is the reliable path regardless
of Docker vs. Podman. That means the notifications profile needs the repo root's `docker compose
up` (or an equivalent `api` container on that network) running too, with
`Zgw__NotificatieAuthorization` set:
```bash
docker compose run --rm -d --name atomic-design-poc-api-1 --service-ports \
-e Zgw__NotificatieAuthorization='<a secret>' api # repo root
cd backend/openzaak
docker compose -f docker-compose.openzaak.yml -f docker-compose.openzaak.notificaties.yml up -d
./bootstrap-catalogus.sh
BFF_AUTH='<the same secret>' ./bootstrap-notificaties.sh
BFF_AUTH='<the same secret>' ./verify-notificatie.sh # proves a real delivery, end to end
```
Verified live in-session: the preflight in `bootstrap-notificaties.sh` proved the BFF's auth gate
both ways (204 with the secret, 401 without/wrong), `verify-notificatie.sh` found the delivered
`zgw:notificatie`/`allow` audit row for the PATCHed zaak, and re-running both scripts against the
already-configured client stayed idempotent (no errors, no duplicate `Service` rows).

## Anti-corruption layer — two nested boundaries (what to learn)
This setup is an anti-corruption layer (ACL) **twice over**, and seeing them as a pair is the
lesson worth taking away:
1. **The BFF guards everything against upstream systems.** OpenZaak's foreign model —
URL-as-identity, a `zaaktype` that is a URL _into another service_, `{count,next,previous,
results}` pagination, HS256 JWT auth — never leaves the BFF. `ZgwZaakMapper` translates it
into the BFF's own `ApplicationSummaryDto`; `IZaakSource` makes the boundary swappable
(`LocalZaakSource` vs `OpenZaakZaakSource` return the _same_ DTO).
2. **The Angular app guards itself against the BFF.** `infrastructure/` is the only layer that
touches the network (lint-enforced); every response crosses a `parse*` (`Result`) trust
boundary + a `toDomain` mapper before any domain/UI code sees it (ADR-0001, ARCHITECTURE §6).
The DTO at `/api/v1` is the membrane between them — which is why wiring OpenZaak touched **zero
frontend code and produced zero api-client drift**. That was the proof the ACL held.
Principles this demonstrates:
- **An ACL is a _mapping_, not a passthrough.** A DTO that is the upstream shape renamed is
corruption with extra steps; the valuable ACLs here (`ZgwZaakMapper`, the `parse*`/`toDomain`
pairs) actively translate a foreign model into a local one.
- **Put the ACL where trust changes, and make it the _only_ place.** One choke point per
boundary — the `Zgw/` folder + `IZaakSource` server-side, `infrastructure/` client-side.
- **Decision DTOs and the ACL are complementary.** BFF-lite (server decides, FE renders) is an
ACL against _business-rule_ drift, layered on the ACL against _data-shape_ drift.
- **A real seam is swap-testable offline.** Because the ACL returns a stable DTO, the ZGW
client is unit-testable with fixtures + a stub handler — no live OpenZaak.
- **Mark the honest edges.** The `ponytail:` sync-over-async note and the "coarse status map"
comment in `ZgwZaakMapper` show where the ACL is deliberately thin — an ACL need not be
complete on day one, but its shortcuts should be visible.
Caveat: `IZaakSource` covers the cases **read (admin + citizen-scoped) + create** path
(WP-49/50/53), `IDocumentSource` covers **upload + zaak-link** (WP-51), the inbound
`POST /zgw/notificaties` webhook (WP-52) closes the read/write/document/notify arc, and WP-53
threaded a real per-request `CallerIdentity` through all of it (ownership + the ZGW audit
claims), and WP-54 added a docker OpenZaak harness + opt-in integration test proving the seam
against a live instance (and, in doing so, caught the missing `Content-Crs`/`Accept-Crs`
headers noted above). Other BFF endpoints (reference data like `SeedData`'s BRP/DUO mimics)
still read static stores directly — ACL-ready (the DTO seam exists) but not yet swappable, and
not part of this arc. That closes the phase-9 OpenZaak/ZGW arc (WP-49..54).
