# BACKLOG.md — iteration plan (curated mirror of the active Gitea milestone) > **Source of truth: Gitea Issues + Milestones.** This file is a human-readable mirror so contributors and Claude Code can see the iteration plan at a glance. When the two disagree, **Gitea wins** and this file is regenerated. > > Regenerate this file when a milestone is opened, closed, or significantly reshaped. A commit message of `docs(backlog): sync with milestone ` is appropriate. Each slice has a unique ID (`S-NN`) matching the title of its Gitea issue. Work is pulled from the **active milestone**'s project board in Gitea, not from this file. Each slice is **independently demoable** and meets the Definition of Done in `CLAUDE.md` §3. Pull only one slice at a time. --- ## Iteration 0 — Foundations *(milestone: `Iteration 0 — Foundations`)* > **S-00 was split** (CLAUDE.md §13) into the sub-slices below. The original > outcome — a fresh clone + `docker compose up` reaching a green BFF health > endpoint, with CI green and the contributor scaffolding in place — is the sum > of S-00-a…e. Milestones, labels, and the Iteration 1 population are already > done (see `tools/seed-gitea.sh`). ### S-00-a · Placeholder BFF + health endpoint **Outcome:** A minimal .NET BFF exposing `GET /health` returning green; runnable with `dotnet run`. TDD anchor for the slice. **Touches:** `services/bff/`, tests. **Out of scope:** Docker, CI, OIDC. ### S-00-b · Dockerfile + compose skeleton + compose-up smoke **Outcome:** BFF containerized; `infra/docker-compose.yml` brings it up; health green within 3 minutes from a fresh clone. **Touches:** `services/bff/Dockerfile`, `infra/docker-compose.yml`, smoke script. **Out of scope:** other services, CI. ### S-00-c · Gitea Actions CI (lint, build, unit, compose-up smoke) **Outcome:** `.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml` green on PRs and `main`: lint, build, unit, compose-up smoke. Actions pinned by absolute URL (§8.7/§15). **Touches:** `.gitea/workflows/ci.yaml`, `docs/runbooks/ci.md`. **Out of scope:** mutation, e2e, container push. ### S-00-d · Contributor workflow: issue/PR templates, git-cliff, CHANGELOG **Outcome:** Issue templates (`slice`/`bug`/`adr-proposal`), PR template, `git-cliff` → empty `CHANGELOG.md`, `docs/gitea-workflow.md`. **Touches:** `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`, `.gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`, `cliff.toml`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `docs/gitea-workflow.md`. **Out of scope:** app code. ### S-00-e · Docs scaffold: MkDocs + ADR-0001 + README quickstart **Outcome:** MkDocs builds the `docs/` site; `docs/architecture/adr-0001-loose-coupling.md` exists; README has a sub-10-minute quickstart. **Touches:** `mkdocs.yml`, `docs/` nav, `docs/architecture/adr-0001-loose-coupling.md`, `README.md`. **Out of scope:** Gitea Pages publish. --- ## Iteration 1 — Walking skeleton *(milestone: `Iteration 1 — Walking Skeleton`)* The skeleton proves the spine end-to-end: a registration, a workflow, a zaak in OpenZaak, an event back, a public projection. Minimum viable but real. ### S-01 · OpenZaak + Open Notificaties + Postgres come up in compose **Outcome:** Local `docker compose up` brings up OpenZaak, Open Notificaties, their dependencies, and a seeded ZTC catalogus called `BIG`. A health check confirms all reachable. **Acceptance:** - `curl` to OpenZaak `/zaken/api/v1/` returns 401 (auth working). - A test client with a generated JWT can list zaaktypen in the `BIG` catalogus. - The seeded catalogus contains one lean `BIG-registratie` zaaktype with only the schema-mandatory fields plus `bsn` as an eigenschap. **Touches:** `infra/openzaak/`, `infra/opennotificaties/`, `infra/seed/`, ADR for catalogus design. **Out of scope:** any portal, BFF, Flowable, ACL code. ### S-02 · Keycloak with mock DigiD, eHerkenning, eIDAS, medewerker realms **Outcome:** Keycloak runs locally with four realms pre-seeded. Each realm has 1–2 test users with known credentials documented in `docs/synthetic-data.md`. **Acceptance:** - Browser-based OIDC login flow works for each realm against a placeholder client. - Mock DigiD realm returns a BSN claim; eHerkenning returns a KvK; eIDAS returns a foreign identifier; medewerker returns role claims. **Touches:** `infra/keycloak/`, seed scripts. **Out of scope:** real federation, MFA. ### S-03 · Flowable up with a minimal BPMN: "Registratie ontvangen" **Outcome:** Flowable runs locally with Postgres. A single BPMN model (`registratie.bpmn`) deployed with one start event, one external task `OpenZaakAanmaken`, one end event. **Acceptance:** - BPMN model deployed via Flowable's REST API on container start. - An HTTP call can start a process instance and observe it waiting on the external task. **Touches:** `infra/flowable/`, `workflows/registratie.bpmn`. **Out of scope:** DMN, boundary timers, second model. ### S-04 · ACL skeleton with one operation: open a zaak **Outcome:** A .NET library + service that exposes one method: `OpenZaak(domainPayload) → zaakUrl`. It default-fills `bronorganisatie`, `verantwoordelijkeOrganisatie`, `startdatum`, `vertrouwelijkheidaanduiding`, and posts to OpenZaak. **Strict TDD throughout.** **Acceptance:** - BDD scenario: "Given a domain registration payload, when I call the ACL, then a zaak exists in OpenZaak with the default-filled fields." - Mutation score baseline captured and enforced by the Gitea Actions pipeline. - Integration test using Testcontainers against real OpenZaak passes. **Touches:** `services/acl/`, tests, ADR for default-fill strategy. **Out of scope:** all other ZGW operations, status transitions, documents. ### S-05 · BIG Domain Service skeleton with the Registration aggregate **Outcome:** A .NET service exposing a single endpoint `POST /registrations`. The Registration aggregate has a state machine with at minimum `INGEDIEND`. The service orchestrates: start a Flowable process → external task callback executes the ACL `OpenZaak` → zaak URL stored on the aggregate. **Acceptance:** - BDD scenario: "Given a zorgprofessional submits a registration, when the domain service receives it, then a Flowable process is started and a zaak is opened in OpenZaak." - Integration test exercises the full path (no real frontend yet). - The Workflow Client is the only code that calls Flowable. **Touches:** `services/domain/`, `services/acl/` (consumed), tests, ADR for external-task job-worker pattern. **Out of scope:** any other use case, documents, decisions. ### S-06 · Event Subscriber + Read Projection (minimal) **Outcome:** An NRC webhook consumer that, on `zaak.gecreeerd`, writes a row to a `register_projection` table with `id`, `bsn`, `naam_placeholder`, `status`. Idempotent. Rebuildable. **Acceptance:** - BDD scenario: "Given a zaak is created in OpenZaak, when the NRC event is delivered, then the projection contains a row with status INGEDIEND." - Replaying the same event twice does not create duplicates. - A `projection rebuild` admin command repopulates from OpenZaak. **Touches:** `services/event-subscriber/`, `services/projection-api/`, tests. **Out of scope:** decision events, multiple projections, public-safe field filtering (will tighten in S-09). ### S-07 · BFF with one endpoint per portal + OIDC validation **Outcome:** A .NET BFF exposing four endpoint groups (one per portal). Validates tokens issued by Keycloak. Implements the minimum needed for the walking skeleton: `POST /self-service/registrations`, `GET /openbaar/register?q=...`. **Acceptance:** - BDD scenarios cover the two endpoints with valid and invalid tokens. - OpenAPI spec generated and committed. **Touches:** `services/bff/`, OpenAPI spec, tests. **Out of scope:** behandelaar and beheer endpoints (later slices). ### S-08 · Self-Service portal (Angular, NL DS) — submit a registration **Outcome:** The self-service Angular app, in the Nx monorepo, lets a zorgprofessional log in via mock DigiD and submit a registration. NL Design System styling. Generated API client. **Acceptance:** - E2E test (Playwright): full happy path, login → submit → success page. - Component tests (Testing Library) for the form. - Accessibility audit (axe-core) passes WCAG 2.1 AA on the submit page. **Touches:** `apps/self-service/`, `libs/ui/`, `libs/auth/`, `libs/api-client/`, tests. **Out of scope:** document upload, status tracking page. ### S-09 · Openbaar Register portal — public lookup **Outcome:** The openbaar Angular app shows a search box. Anonymous. Queries the BFF's `/openbaar/register` which reads only the projection's **public-safe** fields. Confirms the walking skeleton end-to-end. **Acceptance:** - E2E test: zorgprofessional registers via self-service (S-08), behandelaar approves via a temporary admin endpoint (no behandel-portal yet), openbaar register shows the entry. - Public-safe field whitelist enforced and tested. **Touches:** `apps/openbaar/`, projection-api hardening, tests. **Out of scope:** advanced search filters, sorting. **End of walking skeleton.** Demo: submit → process → projection → public visibility. All CI gates green on Gitea Actions. Cut release `vYYYY.MM.0` and publish via Gitea Releases. --- ## Iteration 2 — Flow completeness and exception handling *(milestone: `Iteration 2 — Flow Completeness`)* ### S-10 · Document upload + boundary timer for document timeout (Flow 2) **Outcome:** BPMN extended with a "wacht op documenten" user task with a 30-day boundary timer. Self-service portal supports diploma upload. On timeout the case is cancelled. **Acceptance:** BDD scenarios for both branches; integration tests for the timer firing. ### S-11 · Withdrawal (Flow 3) **Outcome:** Self-service portal has a "trek aanvraag in" action. Domain service issues a withdraw command; BPMN message event correlates; case cancels with audit trail. ### S-12 · Behandel-portal — werkbak + beoordeling **Outcome:** Behandel portal with login (medewerker realm), werkbak listing INGEDIEND/IN_BEHANDELING cases, claim and complete user tasks via Flowable, decision endpoint via Domain Service. **Acceptance:** BDD scenarios for claim, complete, request additional document, decide. ### S-13 · DMN decision: diploma eligibility (Flow 4) **Outcome:** A DMN decision table evaluated by the Domain Service via Workflow Client. Foreign diplomas route to an extra "CBGV-advies" user task in BPMN. **Acceptance:** BDD scenarios for domestic and foreign diploma paths; DMN evaluated separately is unit-tested. ### S-14 · Beoordeling escalation (Flow 5) **Outcome:** Boundary timer on beoordeling user task — 14 days. On timeout, reassigns to a teamlead role. --- ## Iteration 3 — Maintenance portal and observability *(milestone: `Iteration 3 — Beheer & Observability`)* ### S-15 · Beheer-portal — catalogus & default-fill rules **Outcome:** Beheer portal lets an admin view ZTC catalogi (read-only first), and manage the ACL's default-fill configuration via a CRUD UI. MFA on the medewerker realm enforced. ### S-16 · OpenTelemetry traces + Grafana dashboard **Outcome:** Traces span portal → BFF → Domain → ACL → OpenZaak and portal → BFF → Domain → Flowable. Grafana dashboards pre-built for golden signals. ### S-17 · Quartz.NET scheduler — herregistratie reminder sweep **Outcome:** Nightly job that finds entries within 90 days of expiry and emits a domain event. (No outbound notification in v1 — logged.) --- ## Iteration 4 — Objecten and the authoritative register *(milestone: `Iteration 4 — Objecten`)* ### S-18 · Objecten + Objecttypen up in compose; Register objecttype defined **Outcome:** Objecten and Objecttypen running. A `RegisterRecord` objecttype defined with the public-safe schema. ### S-19 · ACL extension: write register-record to Objecten on approval **Outcome:** Approval path writes the canonical register record to Objecten, not OpenZaak eigenschappen. Projection now sourced from Objecten events. **ADR required:** "Why Objecten holds the register, OpenZaak holds the process." --- ## Iteration 5 — Data governance module *(milestone: `Iteration 5 — Data Governance`)* ### S-20 · OpenMetadata module + seed bundle deployed alongside **Outcome:** OpenMetadata stack runs as a separate compose file (`infra/governance/`). Seed bundle loaded: glossary, classification taxonomy, roles, default DQ tests. ### S-21 · Read-replica ingestion + API ingestion **Outcome:** Postgres read replicas of domain, Flowable, projection. OpenMetadata ingestion connectors discover schemas. API connector ingests OpenZaak and Objecten via OpenAPI. ### S-22 · Lineage SDK (.NET) + lineage assertions across the personal-data path **Outcome:** A thin .NET package wrapping OpenMetadata's lineage API, published to the **Gitea Packages** registry. ACL, Event Subscriber, and Domain Service call it as personal data flows. Each lineage edge carries purpose and legal basis. **ADR required:** "Lineage as a property of code, not docs." ### S-23 · GDPR reporting cookbook **Outcome:** `docs/gdpr-reporting.md` showing how to answer specific AVG questions using OpenMetadata (data subject request, processing register, lineage trace). --- ## Iteration 6 — Production aspirations (sketch only) *(milestone: `Iteration 6 — Production Posture`)* ### S-24 · Helm chart (sketch) + Kubernetes manifests for the platform **Outcome:** A non-deployed-but-reviewable Helm chart and accompanying ADR on production posture. Documents HA, secrets, backup, observability, identity wiring. ### S-25 · Runbook completeness review **Outcome:** All runbooks complete: startup, seed, common failures, upgrade upstream modules, restore from backup, rotate secrets, Gitea Actions gotchas. --- ## How to add a new slice 1. **Open a Gitea issue** using the `slice.md` template. Title format: `S-NN · One-line outcome`. 2. Assign it to the appropriate milestone and apply `type:slice` plus area labels. 3. Fill in: outcome (one sentence, user-visible if possible), acceptance (Gherkin or testable assertions), touches (services and folders), out of scope (explicit). 4. Add it to the milestone's project board in the `Todo` column. 5. Mirror it into this file under the relevant iteration heading. 6. Open a PR against `BACKLOG.md` for review **before** starting the work. ## How to split a slice If a slice issue grows beyond ~1–2 days of focused work: 1. Identify the natural seam (often between backend and frontend, or between happy path and exception path). 2. **In Gitea,** close the original issue with a comment listing the replacement issues. Use `S-NN-a`, `S-NN-b`, etc., or just allocate fresh `S-NN` numbers. 3. Each split must still meet the Definition of Done independently. 4. Update `BACKLOG.md` in a `docs(backlog): split S-NN (refs #NN, closes #NN)` commit. ## Cross-references - **System of record:** Gitea Issues (this repo's Issues tab). - **Active board:** the Gitea project board on the current milestone. - **Working agreements:** `CLAUDE.md`. - **What we're building and why:** `PRD.md`. - **Architecture diagrams + ADRs:** `docs/architecture/`. - **Daily-changing operational notes:** Gitea Wiki.
