Core Product & Module Readiness

Exhaustive verification checklists for Sections 1 through 6 covering product scope, authentication, user profiles, store management, catalogs, measurement units, storefront theming, and the discovery engine.

1. Product Scope & Release Readiness​

  • Freeze MVP 1 feature scope against late additions.
  • Explicitly document features not in MVP 1 (no payments, no cart checkout, no delivery fleet, no inventory count).
  • Verify the 11 production user journeys end-to-end:
    • New customer signup and email login
    • Customer profile view and update
    • Discover nearby stores and bakers via geolocation
    • Browse baker storefront via custom slug (/:storeSlug)
    • Browse products by category with dietary filters
    • Store owner registration via Google OAuth or Email
    • Store onboarding wizard: save/resume, optional products, preview, and publish
    • Store profile management (bio, address, hours, cover image)
    • Product & catalog management (CRUD, categories, price variants)
    • Storefront theme selection and accent color customization
    • Public store URL sharing and preview
  • Complete end-to-end acceptance testing for each user journey.
  • Resolve all P0 and P1 blocker bugs before deployment.
  • Document known MVP limitations in user-facing release notes.

2. Authentication & User Module​

Authentication​

  • Email/password authentication verified in production mode.
  • Email verification workflow sends valid tokens and updates verified status.
  • Login and logout state management works across browser tabs.
  • Forgot password / reset password email workflow functions correctly.
  • Session token expiration and background auto-refresh tested without session drops.
  • Multiple-device concurrent sessions behave predictably.
  • Unauthorized routes (/dashboard/*, /settings/*) properly redirect to /login.
  • Protected API endpoints (/api/store/*, /api/products/*) reject unauthenticated requests with 401 Unauthorized.
  • Rate limiting and brute-force protection active on /api/auth/*.
  • Authentication error messages do not leak system internals, database errors, or account existence.

User​

  • User profile record created automatically through the Better Auth signup flow.
  • User profile update (Full Name, Phone Number, Avatar) persists to PostgreSQL.
  • Profile image upload and optimization verified.
  • User-to-store membership and role boundaries strictly validated; users may hold different roles in different stores.
  • Account deletion and deactivation strategy defined and tested.
  • User input data validation enforced via Zod schemas.

3. Store / Baker Module​

  • Store creation flow initializes with a unique UUID and an OWNER store membership.
  • Store onboarding wizard collects all required baseline fields:
    • Store type (Home Baker, Boutique Patisserie, Cake Studio)
    • Store name

  • Store publish and unpublish toggle functions instantly:
    • DRAFT stores render a branded "Under Construction" placeholder to visitors.
    • PUBLISHED stores appear in search results and directory pages.
  • Store owner permissions strictly enforced:
    • Store owner can edit only their own store profile.
    • Store owner cannot view or access another owner's private dashboard.
  • Store update flow persists changes to database without overwriting unmodified fields.
  • Store deletion/deactivation behavior (soft delete via status: SUSPENDED).
  • Public storefront renders at flournsugar.com/:storeSlug.
  • Non-existent store slug displays a helpful 404 page with nearby recommendations.
  • Store SEO metadata (meta title, description, Open Graph tags) generated dynamically.

4. Product & Catalog Module​

Catalog Foundation​

  • Seed data for product categories finalized (Celebration Cakes, Brownies, Cookies, Sourdough, Cupcakes, Tea Cakes, Hampers).
  • Product category slugs validated for URL safety.
  • Duplicate categories prevented within the same store.

Store Products​

  • Store owner can add new products with photos, title, description, and categories.

6. Discovery & Community Module​
