feat(#78): one citizen reference across self-service and the openbaar register (#79)

## What & why

Before this change the self-service confirmation and the openbaar register showed **different** identifiers, so a citizen could not look their registration back up (#78). Now both surface the same **reference**:

- **domain → ACL (write):** the domain `registrationId` is set as the zaak's `identificatie` on `POST /zaken`.
- **event-subscriber → ACL (read):** the subscriber reads the zaak's `identificatie` back through the ACL (§8.1 — only the ACL talks to ZGW) via a new `POST /zaken/reference`, and stores it on the projection row **and** the `processed_notifications` replay log.
- **BFF + openbaar:** the public view exposes `id/status/reference` (never bsn/naam) and searches by id or reference; the register's "Referentie" column shows the reference.

Storing the reference in the replay log keeps ADR-0008's **rebuild-is-log-only** invariant intact — `/admin/rebuild` reproduces the reference without re-reading the ACL.

Decision recorded in **ADR-0012**.

## Definition of Done

- [x] Linked issue: #78
- [x] Tests written first; red → green per layer
- [x] Unit + acceptance green (`make unit`): domain 49, acl 27, bff 20, event-subscriber 19, acceptance 7
- [x] Frontend lint + test green (`nx run-many -t lint test`)
- [x] Mutation ≥ break(90): acl 100%, event-subscriber 100%, bff 100%, domain 98.41% (pre-existing FlowableWorkflowClient baseline, untouched)
- [x] e2e extended: confirmation reference == register reference
- [x] openapi.json + api-client regenerated (drift guard green)
- [x] ADR-0012 added; demo-script note appended
- [x] `Acl__BaseUrl` wired for the subscriber in compose

closes #78

+# ADR-0011: Approval sets the zaak eindstatus via the ACL and projects INGESCHREVEN from the notification alone
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-07-13
+- **Deciders:** Respellion engineering
+- **Relates to:** S-09b (#75); split from S-09 (#10); builds on ADR-0001 (§8 loose coupling), ADR-0003 (ACL default-fill), ADR-0007 (OZ→NRC wiring), ADR-0008 (read projection), ADR-0009 (external-task worker)
+
+## Context
+
+The walking skeleton could submit a registration (INGEDIEND) and show it in the openbaar register,
+but nothing could **approve** it. S-09b adds a behandelaar approval that must make the entry publicly
+visible as a terminal status. There is no behandel-portal yet (S-12), so approval is triggered by a
+**temporary admin endpoint** on the Domain Service.
+
+Two decisions are non-obvious (§14) and cross service boundaries:
+
+1. **Who resolves the ZGW statustype?** Approval means "set the zaak to its final status", but the
+   domain must stay ZGW-ignorant (§8.1 — only the ACL talks to ZGW) and does not know statustype URLs.
+2. **How does the projection learn the new status?** The status is set in OpenZaak, which notifies over
+   NRC; the Event Subscriber projects it. But the subscriber **may not read OpenZaak** (§8.1), and an
+   NRC `status`/`create` notification's `resourceUrl` is the *status* resource, not the zaak, and does
+   not carry the statustype.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Approval flows Domain → ACL → OpenZaak → NRC → Event Subscriber → projection, using only the
+notification's own fields on the read side.**
+
+- **Domain.** `Registration.Approve()` advances INGEDIEND → INGESCHREVEN (requires an opened zaak; a
+  repeat is a no-op). The `ApproveRegistration` use case calls the ACL to set the zaak status, then
+  advances the aggregate. A temporary `POST /registrations/{id}/approve` endpoint drives it.
+- **ACL.** A new `POST /statussen` operation takes only the zaak URL. The ACL resolves the zaaktype's
+  **eindstatus** from the catalogus (`isEindstatus`, falling back to the highest `volgnummer`) and
+  POSTs a ZGW status against the zaak. The domain never names statustypen — the ACL owns the ZGW
+  translation (§8.1, ADR-0003).
+- **Event Subscriber.** It binds the NRC `hoofdObject` (always the zaak URL) and keys the projection on
+  it, so a `zaken`/`status`/`create` notification updates the **same** row the zaak-create created,
+  flipping it to INGESCHREVEN. It takes **any** status-create as the approval — in the walking skeleton
+  the only status ever set after creation is the approval — so it never has to read OpenZaak to learn
+  the statustype. The ZGW `resource` is retained in the notification log (new column) so a rebuild
+  reproduces the right status.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The domain↔ACL boundary stays clean: the domain hands over a zaak URL and says "approve"; ZGW
+  statustype knowledge lives only in the ACL.
+- The projection remains rebuildable without OpenZaak (§8.1, ADR-0008): the log now records the ZGW
+  resource, which is all a rebuild needs to reproject the status.
+- The openbaar register shows real lifecycle: INGEDIEND on submit, INGESCHREVEN on approval.
+- **Walking-skeleton assumption:** "any status-create ⇒ INGESCHREVEN" holds only while approval is the
+  sole post-creation status transition. When more transitions arrive (beoordeling, afwijzing — S-12+),
+  the subscriber must distinguish statustypen. The honest options then are to carry the statustype
+  omschrijving in the notification `kenmerken`, or to have the ACL resolve it and re-notify — recorded
+  here so future-me revisits this rather than assuming it generalises.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Inject the approved statustype URL into the ACL as config** (like the zaaktype URL). Rejected:
+  couples ACL config to seed output and adds compose/run-domain-check plumbing; runtime eindstatus
+  discovery keeps the ACL self-contained for one extra ZGW GET per approval.
+- **Have the Event Subscriber GET the status/statustype from OpenZaak** to map precisely. Rejected:
+  violates §8.1 (only the ACL talks to ZGW) and makes the projection depend on OpenZaak being up.
+- **Record the derived status in the notification log** instead of the ZGW resource. Rejected: the log
+  should retain notification *facts*, not projection semantics; the mapping stays in the projector.

+# ADR-0012: One citizen-facing reference across self-service and the openbaar register
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-07-14
+- **Deciders:** Respellion engineering
+- **Relates to:** #78 (adr-proposal); builds on ADR-0008 (read projection), ADR-0001 (loose coupling), ADR-0009 (external-task worker / zaak creation)
+
+## Context
+
+A citizen submits through the self-service portal and is shown a confirmation with a
+**reference** so they can find their registration back in the public register. But the two
+sides showed **different identifiers**:
+
+- The self-service confirmation shows the **domain `registrationId`** — a GUID minted by the
+  domain aggregate (`RegistrationId.New()`) when the registration is created, before any zaak
+  exists.
+- The openbaar register showed the **zaak id** — the UUID from the NRC `hoofdObject` URL,
+  assigned by OpenZaak when the ACL opens the zaak.
+
+These never match, so the reference on the confirmation was useless for looking the entry up.
+The two identifiers live on opposite sides of the ACL boundary and are generated by different
+systems at different times, so there is no way to reconcile them after the fact without a
+correlating value carried across the boundary.
+
+The NRC notification the Event Subscriber consumes carries only the zaak URL plus the fixed
+`kenmerken` (`bronorganisatie`, `zaaktype`, `vertrouwelijkheidaanduiding`) — **not** the
+`registrationId`, the bsn, or the `identificatie`. ADR-0008 already recorded that filling any
+such field means reading the zaak **through the ACL** (§8.1) and deferred it as a follow-up.
+This is that follow-up, scoped to the one field the citizen actually needs.
+
+## Decision
+
+**Use the domain `registrationId` as the zaak's `identificatie`, and surface that single value
+as the citizen-facing `reference` on both portals. The Event Subscriber enriches the projection
+with the reference by reading the zaak through the ACL, and stores it in the replay log so
+rebuild stays log-only.**
+
+Concretely, following the request path:
+
+1. **Domain → ACL (write).** When the OpenZaak worker opens a zaak, it passes
+   `registration.Id` to the ACL (`IAclClient.OpenZaakAsync(bsn, reference, …)`). The ACL sets
+   it as the zaak's `identificatie` on `POST /zaken`. OpenZaak's `identificatie` is unique per
+   `bronorganisatie` and ≤ 40 chars — a GUID string fits. The ACL remains the only code that
+   constructs ZGW payloads (§8.1); the domain never sees a ZGW URL.
+2. **Event Subscriber → ACL (read).** On a notification, the subscriber asks the ACL for the
+   zaak's reference via a new `POST /zaken/reference` endpoint (`{ zaakUrl } → { reference }`),
+   which reads the zaak's `identificatie` through the ACL's OpenZaak gateway. The subscriber
+   still never talks to ZGW itself (§8.1) — it depends only on the ACL, over HTTP.
+3. **Projection + replay log.** The reference is written both to the `register_projection` row
+   **and** to the `processed_notifications` replay log (a new nullable `reference` column on
+   each). Storing it in the log is what keeps ADR-0008's "**rebuild replays the log, not
+   OpenZaak**" invariant true: `POST /admin/rebuild` reproduces the reference from the log
+   without re-reading the ACL.
+4. **BFF + openbaar.** The public view (`OpenbaarProjection.PublicView`) exposes
+   `id`, `status`, and `reference` (never bsn/naam), and the openbaar search matches on either
+   `id` or `reference`. The openbaar register's "Referentie" column now renders `reference`.
+
+The end-to-end guarantee is asserted in the Playwright walking-skeleton: the reference captured
+from the submit confirmation must appear as a cell in the public register.
+
+### Why HTTP to the ACL, not the ACL as a library
+
+ADR-0008 floated "extend the ACL with a zaak-read operation, consumed as a library." We instead
+call the ACL **over HTTP**, consistent with every other cross-service hop in this system
+(portals→BFF, domain→ACL). Sharing the ACL as a library would couple the subscriber to the
+ACL's infrastructure assembly and its ZGW client configuration, defeating the anti-corruption
+boundary. The HTTP endpoint keeps the ACL the single owner of ZGW access and its config.
+
+## Consequences
+
+**Positive**
+
+- One reference, end to end: the citizen's confirmation value is exactly what the public
+  register shows and searches by.
+- §8.1 stays intact — only the ACL reads or writes ZGW; the subscriber depends on the ACL, not
+  OpenZaak.
+- Rebuild stays log-only (ADR-0008): the reference is replayed from `processed_notifications`,
+  so `/admin/rebuild` needs no ACL/ZGW access.
+- The column additions are nullable and additive; older rows without a reference are tolerated.
+
+**Negative / costs**
+
+- A new coupling: the Event Subscriber now depends on the ACL being reachable
+  (`Acl__BaseUrl`, compose `depends_on: acl`). A registration whose reference read fails will
+  need the notification redelivered (NRC already redelivers; the projection upsert is
+  idempotent).
+- One extra HTTP hop per notification (subscriber→ACL→OpenZaak) on the projection path. Bounded:
+  one small GET per zaak, off the citizen's request path.
+- `identificatie` now carries semantic meaning (it equals the `registrationId`). If OpenZaak
+  were ever configured to auto-generate `identificatie`, the correlation would break; the ACL
+  setting it explicitly is now load-bearing.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+- **Carry the `registrationId` in the notification** — rejected: NRC `kenmerken` are fixed and
+  the notification content is not ours to extend; it would also couple the projection to a
+  bespoke notification shape.
+- **Show the zaak id on the confirmation instead** — rejected: the zaak does not exist yet when
+  the confirmation is returned (the worker opens it asynchronously, ADR-0009), so the domain has
+  no zaak id to show at submit time.
+- **Store only on the projection row, re-read the ACL on rebuild** — rejected: it would make
+  rebuild depend on the ACL/ZGW, breaking ADR-0008's log-only rebuild invariant.
+- **Reconcile the two ids in a lookup table** — rejected: adds write-only state and a second
+  source of truth for a value that can simply be the same on both sides.

+## S-09 — Openbaar Register portal (public visibility)
+
+**Outcome:** the entry a zorgprofessional submits via self-service becomes publicly visible in the

+→ public visibility).
+
+**The path:** self-service submit → BFF → domain → (zaak) OpenZaak → NRC → Event Subscriber →

+## S-09b — Approval flow (public visibility flips to INGESCHREVEN)

+**Outcome:** a behandelaar approves a submitted registration via a temporary admin endpoint (no
+behandel-portal yet — S-12). The approval sets the zaak's final status through the ACL, which flows
+back to the projection over NRC, and the openbaar register then shows the entry as `INGESCHREVEN`.
+
+**The path:** `POST /registrations/{id}/approve` (domain) → ACL sets the zaak eindstatus (ZGW
+`/statussen`) → OpenZaak → NRC → Event Subscriber projects `INGESCHREVEN` → openbaar register.
+

+make up
+make verify-e2e
+
+# 2. Or by hand: submit (as in S-09), note the reference, then approve it.

+
+## #78 — One reference across both portals (ADR-0012)
+
+Before this change the self-service confirmation and the openbaar register showed **different**
+identifiers, so a citizen could not look their registration back up. Now both show the same
+**reference**: the domain `registrationId` is set as the zaak's `identificatie` by the ACL, and the
+Event Subscriber enriches the projection with it by reading the zaak through the ACL (§8.1) — storing
+it in the replay log so rebuild stays log-only (ADR-0008).
+
+**The path:** domain passes `registrationId` → ACL sets it as `zaak.identificatie` → NRC →
+Event Subscriber asks the ACL for the reference → projection row + replay log → openbaar register.

+```bash
+# Submit as in S-09 and note the reference on the confirmation, then find it in the public register:

+

+> the citizen saw on submit. Asserted end-to-end by the Playwright happy path.
