Migrate 2024–2026 bookkeeping PDFs through an idempotent document API

Status: pending
Tags: enhancement, migration, backend, data, testing, P1
Depends on: #107
Blocks: None

Scope

Import the authorized private PDF archives for 2024, 2025, and 2026 into the
bookkeeping document store delivered by #107. The migration must be an
operator-run script that defaults to dry-run, talks only to authenticated
bookkeeping APIs, is safe to resume, and proves that every accepted document and
relationship was reconciled. It must never use DynamoDB, S3 SDK, table, or bucket
credentials directly. A presigned upload obtained from the bookkeeping API is
part of the API upload lifecycle and is allowed.

The archives and all derived manifests/evidence are private operational data.
Keep them in their supplied local attachment location or project-local ignored
.tmp/; never commit, attach, or copy them into tracked/public paths. Public
console output, tests, issue comments, CI logs, and CloudWatch logs may contain
aggregate counts and reason codes only—not document names, paths, hashes,
contents, transaction values, contacts, account details, signed URLs, or other
finance context.

Safe archive inventory

Add a dedicated document importer under backend/scripts/ with an npm command.
It accepts one or more ZIP archives plus a private mapping manifest and defaults
to dry-run. Dry-run may use authenticated read-only bookkeeping APIs to resolve
accounts, transactions, existing documents, and links, but it performs no
upload, create, update, delete, report snapshot, or archive-generation call.

Inspect ZIP central-directory metadata before reading members and enforce
configurable conservative limits for archive bytes, member count, per-member
compressed and uncompressed bytes, total uncompressed bytes, and compression
ratio. Structural and resource safety validation applies to every member before
manifest dispositions are considered. Reject the entire run before writes for
an encrypted member, absolute or traversal path, NUL/control character,
symlink or other non-regular member, duplicate normalized member path,
malformed ZIP, or exceeded limit; a manifest exclusion can never waive or hide
one of these failures.

After that validation, the private manifest may explicitly mark a safe regular
non-PDF member or safe nested-archive member as excluded, with an allow-listed
reason. Excluded members are counted but never opened, extracted, recursively
inspected, hashed as import candidates, uploaded, or imported. An unsupported or
nested member without an explicit exclusion still fails closed before writes.
Ignore only documented packaging metadata entries. Accepted import members must
have a .pdf extension and valid %PDF- magic bytes; never trust extension or
archive MIME metadata alone. Stream/hash accepted PDFs without extracting them
to a shared filesystem path.

Compute SHA-256 locally for identity, then ask the API whether that content is
already active. Content identity, not filename or archive location, controls
deduplication. Repeated content within/between the three archives and content
already stored by #107 resolves to one document record. The API must enforce
hash uniqueness atomically under concurrent requests and return a safe
created/existing result; a duplicate must not leave a pending document or
orphan object. Idempotency keys must be deterministic and bounded. The API must
re-verify uploaded size, PDF magic, and SHA-256 before activation and clean up
failed/incomplete upload state.

Explicit mapping, statements, and links

Automatic OCR, PDF parsing, classification, account detection, and transaction
matching remain deferred as planned in #107. For this migration, a private
manifest supplies the operator-confirmed mapping. Identify each document in the
manifest by SHA-256 so renaming or moving an archive does not change identity.
Each mapping declares:

• document type: invoice, receipt, bank statement, private-account statement,
  or other evidence;
• statement month and account ID for every business/private statement;
• zero or more existing transaction references using stable bookkeeping
  sourceKey values (transaction IDs may be accepted only as an explicit
  fallback and must be resolved through the API);
• coverage type for each relationship (evidence or statement-coverage).

The importer must fail closed before writing when a manifest has duplicate
hash entries with conflicting metadata, an unknown account/transaction,
invalid type/month/coverage, an ambiguous transaction reference, a statement
without account/month, a non-statement with statement-only metadata, or a
non-import member without an explicit allowed exclusion. Documents intentionally
retained without a transaction link must be explicitly marked as such; omission
is not implicit approval. Exclusion entries identify an outer archive member
without exposing it publicly and include an allow-listed reason such as
unsupported-image or nested-packaging-archive; they cannot target an
accepted PDF or suppress a structural/resource validation error.

Create links through the API after document activation. One statement or other
PDF can cover multiple ledger transactions, and one transaction can link to
multiple PDFs. Link uniqueness is the tuple of document, transaction, and
coverage type; retries return the existing link and create no duplicate.
Business statements use the configured business account IDs and
statement-coverage; occasional private-account statements use an existing or
API-created private account, their statement month, and explicit covered
transactions. Do not infer coverage merely because a transaction falls in the
same month.

Controlled write, resume, reconciliation, and rollback

A write requires --write, an explicit target-environment confirmation, valid
portal/operator authentication, and a successful dry-run evidence file whose
archive/manifest fingerprints still match. The script must refuse a mismatched
or stale dry-run. Use bounded concurrency, retry only throttling/transient
failures with backoff, never retry permanent auth/validation failures blindly,
and checkpoint after each API result so an interrupted run resumes without
re-uploading or relinking completed work.

Assign every execution a non-sensitive migration run ID. Persist run ownership
and deterministic source provenance on newly created document/link metadata,
without exposing local paths. Pre-existing deduplicated documents/links are
recorded as reused, never claimed by the run. The private run evidence under
.tmp/bookkeeping-document-import/<run-id>/ includes inventory counts, rejected
reason codes, manifest fingerprint, API-created/reused IDs, link outcomes,
checkpoints, and reconciliation/rollback results. It may contain private detail
needed by the operator but must be ignored by Git and excluded from public logs.

After writes, query the authenticated API and reconcile exactly:

• accepted unique hashes = newly created documents + reused active documents;
• every accepted manifest entry resolves to one active document with matching
  size/hash/type/statement metadata;
• requested unique links = newly created links + reused links;
• every requested document/transaction/coverage tuple exists exactly once;
• counts by archive year, document type, statement account/month, unlinked
  approval, explicit exclusion reason, rejected reason, and create/reuse outcome
  match the dry-run plan;
• a second write run reports zero new documents and zero new links.

Any mismatch exits non-zero and does not claim success. Do not create immutable
monthly report snapshots as part of migration; reconciliation may use report
coverage/read APIs, while the operator creates a monthly package after reviewing
the imported evidence.

Provide API-only rollback for a named run with dry-run as the default and
--rollback --write plus target confirmation for mutation. It deletes only
links and documents created and owned by that run, links first, using
authenticated APIs. It must preserve every pre-existing/reused record, refuse
to delete a document referenced by a report or non-run link, delete the private
S3 object as well as metadata for eligible run-owned documents, tolerate an
already-rolled-back retry, and reconcile that no run-owned resources remain.
Rollback failures are checkpointed and reported without private values.

Acceptance Criteria

• The importer defaults to no-write dry-run, accepts all three archive years
  plus a private manifest, uses authenticated bookkeeping API reads only during
  preview, and requires --write, matching environment confirmation, and a
  fingerprint-matching dry-run artifact before mutation.
• ZIP handling rejects traversal/absolute paths, symlinks/non-regular
  entries, encrypted or malformed members, normalized-path collisions, invalid
  PDF magic, ZIP bombs, and configured count/size/ratio limits before any write.
  Only safe regular non-PDF or nested-archive members explicitly excluded by the
  private manifest may be skipped; they are never opened/extracted/imported,
  while unmanifested unsupported/nested members fail closed. Accepted PDFs are
  streamed rather than extracted into a shared path.
• SHA-256 content identity deduplicates within one archive, across archive
  years, against existing active documents, and under concurrent upload
  requests. Duplicate/failed completion leaves no pending metadata or orphan
  object.
• The document API supports an idempotent prepare/upload/complete lifecycle
  using existing portal/operator authentication, short-lived KMS-encrypted
  presigned PUTs, server-side size/magic/hash verification, bounded requests,
  safe responses, and no direct importer access to DynamoDB or S3 credentials.
• Manifest validation is fail-closed and supports invoices, receipts,
  business statements for either configured account, occasional private-account
  statements, explicitly approved unlinked documents, and deterministic
  transaction resolution through API-visible sourceKey values.
• API link creation is idempotent for the document/transaction/coverage
  tuple and supports one PDF covering multiple transactions plus multiple PDFs
  linked to one transaction. Statement coverage is explicit, not inferred by
  month.
• Write execution uses bounded concurrency/backoff and durable private
  checkpoints; interruption and rerun resume safely without duplicate uploads,
  documents, links, or lost successful work.
• Post-write reconciliation proves exact document and link equations,
  metadata/link correspondence, categorized inclusion/exclusion/rejection
  counts, and zero creates on a second run. A mismatch exits non-zero and
  retains private diagnostic evidence.
• API-only rollback defaults to preview, removes only run-owned links and
  eligible run-owned document objects/metadata after explicit confirmation,
  preserves reused or externally referenced data, is retry-safe, and verifies
  the result.
• Unauthorized document inventory, hash lookup, prepare, complete, link,
  rollback, and reconciliation requests are rejected without leaking whether a
  private hash, document, transaction, account, or link exists.
• Public output and application logs contain only aggregate counts,
  non-sensitive run/credential IDs, and allow-listed reason codes. Signed URLs,
  document names/paths/hashes, PDF content, transaction values, contacts,
  account details, and manifest rows never enter GitHub, CI, or CloudWatch logs.
• Automated tests use generated synthetic ZIPs/PDFs/manifests only and
  exercise real HTTP/Lambda route boundaries. Tests fail if the importer writes
  directly through storage clients.
• The full backend workflow passes: cd backend && npm test,
  npm run typecheck, and npm run build. If SAM/IAM/environment configuration
  changes, also run sam validate --lint --template-file infra/template.full.yaml
  and sam build --template-file infra/template.full.yaml.
• A tracked-file/privacy scan and git status confirm the supplied archives,
  manifests, fingerprints, checkpoints, PDFs, and reconciliation/rollback
  artifacts remain only in ignored/private locations.
• [HUMAN] With the AWS sandbox gate open, an authorized operator reviews the
  private mapping manifest, runs dry-run then confirmed write for 2024–2026,
  retains private pre/post evidence, confirms exact reconciliation, spot-checks
  representative document/link/statement behavior in the authenticated portal,
  and confirms the second write creates zero documents and zero links.

Test Scenarios

Scenario: Dry-run plans without mutation

Given: Synthetic year archives, an explicit manifest, and authenticated API
fixtures containing transactions, accounts, documents, and links
When: The importer runs without --write
Then: It validates and reconciles a deterministic plan, makes no mutating API
call, and emits only aggregate public output and private ignored evidence

Scenario: Exclude supported packaging exceptions safely

Given: A synthetic archive has regular image and nested-archive members that
pass outer archive structural/resource checks
When: The private manifest explicitly excludes them with allowed reasons
Then: Dry-run counts the exclusions, never opens/extracts/imports them, and plans
only accepted PDFs; removing either exclusion makes the run fail closed

Scenario: Reject a hostile or oversized archive atomically

Given: ZIP fixtures containing traversal, symlink, encrypted, malformed,
invalid-PDF, duplicate-normalized-path, extreme-compression, and exceeded-limit
members, including variants also marked excluded in the manifest
When: Dry-run inventories each fixture
Then: It rejects the whole run before applying exclusions, returns allow-listed
reason codes, and performs no upload or metadata write

Scenario: Deduplicate content safely

Given: The same synthetic PDF appears under different names/years, already
exists remotely, or is prepared concurrently by two callers
When: The upload lifecycle runs or reruns
Then: Exactly one active document owns the hash, callers receive a safe
created/existing outcome, and no pending/orphan upload remains

Scenario: Model many-to-many evidence and statements

Given: A manifest where one statement covers several transactions, one
transaction has several evidence PDFs, both business accounts have statements,
and one private statement has explicit coverage
When: The confirmed import creates links
Then: Every requested tuple exists once with the declared account, month, type,
and coverage; no same-month relationship is inferred

Scenario: Resume after partial failure

Given: A confirmed write stops after some documents and links succeed
When: The same fingerprinted run resumes
Then: Checkpoints and API idempotency reuse completed work and create only the
missing resources

Scenario: Reject changed input after approval

Given: A successful dry-run evidence file
When: An archive or manifest changes before --write
Then: The importer refuses to mutate and requires a new dry-run

Scenario: Reconcile and prove a no-op rerun

Given: A completed migration
When: The importer queries API state and then repeats the confirmed write
Then: All document/link equations match and the rerun reports zero creates

Scenario: Roll back only run-owned data

Given: A run containing new and reused documents/links, with one run-owned
document referenced outside the run
When: Rollback is previewed, confirmed, interrupted, and retried
Then: Eligible run-owned links/objects/metadata are removed, reused and
externally referenced data are preserved, the refusal is explicit, and the
final reconciliation is accurate

Scenario: Deny unauthorized probing

Given: Missing or invalid operator authentication
When: A caller attempts hash lookup, upload, completion, linking, inventory, or
rollback
Then: The API returns an authorization error without disclosing resource
existence or private metadata

Out of Scope

• OCR, PDF text extraction, automatic classification, candidate scoring, or
  automatic document-to-transaction/account matching.
• Parsing bank-statement lines or creating/updating ledger transactions from
  PDFs; the already imported bookkeeping ledger remains authoritative.
• Creating historical monthly report snapshots/ZIPs automatically during this
  migration, emailing an accountant, or exposing public/permanent download
  links.
• Importing or recursively inspecting non-PDF attachments or nested archives.
  Safe regular members of those types may only be explicitly excluded; encrypted
  archives, corrupted documents, unsafe members, and files without explicit
  manifest disposition remain rejected.
• Changing or deleting the source Google Sheet/workbook or the supplied source
  archives.
• Changes to source repositories outside DataTalksClub/dataops or adding
  operational documents to this public repository.

Dependencies

• Add private bookkeeping ledger and migrate the historical workbook into AWS sandbox #107 is deployed and provides the private bookkeeping table, document bucket,
  accounts, authenticated API, many-to-many links, and monthly package flow.
• Real archives, mapping manifests, dry-run approvals, checkpoints,
  reconciliation outputs, and rollback evidence are private operator artifacts
  and must remain in ignored .tmp/ or the separate private knowledge boundary.
• The authorized aggregate source baseline is 445 top-level PDFs, three
  top-level non-PDF images, and two top-level nested packaging archives. Eight
  top-level PDF copies are content duplicates, leaving 437 unique top-level PDFs.
  The nested packaging archives contain 28 PDFs already byte-identical to
  top-level PDFs; those archives are explicitly excluded and never
  extracted/imported. Dry-run and post-write reconciliation must account for
  these aggregate inclusion, deduplication, and exclusion counts exactly.
• The existing create-only transaction ingestion credential intentionally has
  no file permissions. This migration uses portal/operator authentication for
  document APIs; it must not broaden the webhook credential into document read,
  download, delete, report, or admin access.

PM GROOMED

Issue is agent-ready. The scope is an API-only, dry-run-first migration with safe ZIP inspection, atomic SHA-256 deduplication, explicit private manifest mapping, many-to-many evidence and statement coverage, resumable checkpoints, exact reconciliation, no-op rerun proof, and run-owned API rollback.

Product decisions:

• Existing bookkeeping transactions remain authoritative; this migration creates documents and links only.
• Mapping is explicit and operator-confirmed. OCR, PDF parsing, classification, and automatic matching remain out of scope.
• The importer uses portal/operator authentication and the API-issued presigned upload lifecycle; it does not broaden the create-only transaction webhook credential or use direct DynamoDB/S3 credentials.
• Real archives and all value-level manifests/evidence stay in ignored/private storage. Public logs and issue evidence are aggregate-only.
• Tester uses synthetic archives and the real HTTP/Lambda route boundary; the authorized sandbox write remains a controlled human acceptance check.

Labels and dependencies are set; needs grooming was removed.

PM GROOMING UPDATE

Revised the archive contract to match the authorized aggregate inventory without weakening safety:

• After every outer member passes central-directory structural and resource validation, the private manifest may explicitly exclude safe regular non-PDF images and nested packaging archives using allow-listed reasons.
• Excluded members are counted but never opened, extracted, recursively inspected, hashed as candidates, uploaded, or imported.
• Unsupported/nested members without a manifest exclusion still fail closed.
• Exclusions cannot suppress traversal/absolute-path, encryption, symlink/non-regular-entry, malformed-archive, normalized-path-collision, or size/compression-limit failures.
• Dry-run and post-write reconciliation must account exactly for included, deduplicated, excluded, and rejected counts, including the privacy-safe aggregate source baseline.
• Added synthetic tests for permitted packaging exclusions and for hostile members disguised as exclusions.

No filenames, document values, contacts, account details, or financial values were added.

[alexeygrigorev]

ARCHITECTURE PASS — implement with the required shape below. The groomed scope fits the existing #107 bookkeeping boundary without a new table, bucket, public route, or direct-storage importer. The present upload implementation is not sufficient as-is: completion currently scans documents for a hash and replaces a pending record with delete-then-put, so concurrent completion can duplicate content and validation/duplicate failures can leave pending metadata and objects.

Minimum API and state changes

Keep all routing inside backend/src/routes/bookkeeping.ts; /api/bookkeeping is already dispatched after portal/session authentication, so #117 does not need backend/src/router.ts or backend/src/handler.ts changes.

• POST /api/bookkeeping/documents/hash-lookup: bounded JSON body containing one or a bounded batch of lowercase SHA-256 values. This must be a POST so hashes never enter paths/query/access logs. Return only safe state (absent, pending, active) and, for an authenticated active result, the document ID plus reconciliation metadata needed by the importer. Do not echo the requested hash, filename, object key, signed URL, or transaction data.
• POST /api/bookkeeping/documents/prepare: require declared SHA-256, byte size, validated document/statement metadata, bounded idempotency key, run ID, and opaque source reference. The caller already computed the content identity; prepare, not complete, must acquire it atomically.
• Existing presigned PUT remains the byte-transfer mechanism, but sign the exact PDF content type, KMS headers, declared size/checksum where supported, and a fresh server-generated object key. Only the creator/retry with the same idempotency ownership may receive another URL for a pending claim.
• POST /api/bookkeeping/documents/:id/complete: stream the object to verify exact size, %PDF- magic, and SHA-256; do not buffer all content or trust request/S3 metadata alone. Activate document and hash claim in one DynamoDB transaction. A retry returns the same active document/outcome.
• A dedicated pending-cancel/cleanup operation is needed for importer error recovery. It may delete only the object version and pending document/hash claim owned by the matching prepare idempotency key/run. Stale prepare retry should also detect and safely clean an expired claim. Never remove the hash claim before object deletion succeeds; otherwise the same hash can be prepared while an orphan remains. If deletion fails, retain a retryable cleanup-required state rather than claiming success.
• Link creation should retain the current deterministic tuple identity but return explicit created/existing outcome and persist run/source provenance only on the conditional create. It must transact against an active target document and create/update a document reference guard; it must not accept arbitrary client fields wholesale.
• Add dedicated run-scoped rollback preview/write routes (or equally strict per-resource run-owned delete routes). Generic DELETE /documents/:id is not adequate because it deletes metadata only. Rollback marks eligible run-owned documents non-active, deletes run-owned links first, refuses documents with any non-run link or report reference, deletes the exact S3 object version, then transactionally removes document and hash claim. Retry must tolerate already-deleted links/objects/metadata.

DynamoDB model

Use the retained DataOpsBookkeepingTable; no GSI or replacement table is required.

• Keep the normal random/opaque DOCUMENT#<id> record. Add status (pending, active, cleanup-required, rollback-deleting), declared/verified size and hash, object key plus objectVersionId (server-only), prepare expiry, creator idempotency key, createdByRunId, and opaque sourceRef.
• Add one internal hash-claim item keyed directly by a private table key such as DOCUMENT_HASH#<sha256>. It points to the opaque document ID and carries state/prepare ownership. Create claim + pending document with TransactWriteItems and attribute_not_exists; activate both with conditions on document ID, ownership, and pending state. Never derive the public document ID from the hash.
• Store createdByRunId/opaque source provenance only on resources actually created by the run. Reused documents and links remain unchanged and are reported as reused in private evidence.
• Protect rollback from reference races. Link creation should transactionally create its tuple and increment/add a reference guard on the active document. Report snapshot creation must similarly establish per-document report references under an active-document condition before publishing the report (and clean safe partial guards on failure). Rollback changes active state only with a condition that both link and report reference guards are empty. A scan-before-delete alone is not race-safe.
• Existing generic list helpers use unpaginated Scan; do not use that as reconciliation correctness for 437 unique documents. Add paginated reads or targeted run/hash operations with LastEvaluatedKey handled server-side/importer-side.

The existing table IAM already includes TransactWriteItems, so the hash-claim design is atomic without a schema migration. Existing active documents can be lazily/backfilled into claims before the real dry-run: create a claim conditionally for every active document hash, fail closed if two active records disagree, and only then enable prepares. This preflight is necessary because otherwise a new claim could ignore a pre-#117 active document.

S3 cleanup and rollback

The bucket is retained, KMS-encrypted, versioned, and private. Because versioning is enabled, store the VersionId observed at completion and delete that exact version on failed completion/rollback; a plain delete marker is not enough to prove the run-owned upload was removed. Add least-privilege s3:GetObjectVersion and s3:DeleteObjectVersion only if the SDK operations require them in addition to existing object permissions. Keep keys and version IDs server-only.

For all completion failures after an object exists (size, magic, hash, metadata conflict), attempt version-aware object cleanup and conditional pending-state cleanup. If either step fails, checkpoint a safe reason code and leave recoverable state. The current incomplete-multipart lifecycle rule does not clean ordinary presigned PUTs, so it is not a substitute for API cleanup. A scheduled janitor is optional for this bounded migration if stale prepare retry plus explicit cleanup is implemented and tested; do not add unmanaged cold-start cleanup.

Authentication and non-leakage

All new document, lookup, reconciliation, and rollback routes remain under portal/operator authentication. Do not extend the exact /api/bookkeeping/ingest exemption or the ingestion secret. Authorization must run before hash/document/run lookup, with the same generic 401 for absent and existent resources. Use POST bodies for hashes and never log request bodies, hashes, filenames, member paths, object keys/versions, signed URLs, source keys, or mappings. Safe logs may contain the non-secret run/credential ID, aggregate counts, outcome, and allow-listed reason code only.

For transaction resolution, prefer a bounded authenticated POST /api/bookkeeping/transactions/resolve accepting sourceKey values and returning only unambiguous IDs/source keys. The deterministic existing source#<sourceKey> identity can support targeted gets. This avoids downloading/logging the full finance ledger and makes unknown/ambiguous resolution explicit. Transaction-ID fallback remains an explicit authenticated get.

Private manifest and checkpoints

Keep the schema public-safe but every real instance private under ignored .tmp/bookkeeping-document-import/<run-id>/ with restrictive local permissions.

• Manifest v1 should contain archive aliases/year + archive fingerprints; document entries keyed by sha256:<hex> with private source-member references, validated type/account/month, explicit transaction sourceKey/ID relationships and coverage type, or unlinkedApproved: true; exclusions identify the outer member and one allow-listed reason.
• Canonicalize the manifest and combine its fingerprint with archive fingerprints, importer/schema version, API environment identity, and expiry into the dry-run approval artifact. --write recomputes all fingerprints and refuses stale/mismatched environment/input. Do not put credentials into the fingerprint.
• Use one non-sensitive random run ID retained from dry-run through writes/rollback. Derive bounded idempotency keys and opaque source references from run ID + canonical entry index, not filenames or hashes exposed in logs.
• Persist an append-only private result journal plus an atomically replaced compact checkpoint after every API outcome. Record created/reused IDs, state and safe reason codes privately. Resume from API truth plus checkpoint; checkpoint alone is not authoritative.
• Public stdout is aggregates/reason codes only. Detailed rows, hashes, paths, mappings, IDs if sensitive, fingerprints, and rollback diagnostics stay in ignored evidence.

Migration sequence for the authorized aggregate

1. Deploy the atomic API and backfill/verify hash claims for any existing active documents.
2. Run synthetic HTTP/Lambda tests, including concurrent prepare/complete, invalid completion cleanup, stale pending recovery, reference-race rollback, version-aware object deletion, auth probing, pagination, and no direct SDK imports in the importer.
3. Build and operator-review the private manifest. Validate every outer central-directory entry before dispositions; accepted PDFs stream/hash, while the explicitly excluded safe packaging members are never opened.
4. Run one full three-year dry-run and require exact aggregate equations: 445 accepted top-level PDF occurrences, eight content duplicates, 437 unique PDFs, three excluded images, and two excluded nested packaging archives. No writes occur.
5. Use one approved run (or explicitly fingerprinted deterministic batches under one parent run), low bounded concurrency, document prepare/upload/complete first, then explicit links, checkpointing each result. Do not create report snapshots.
6. Reconcile through targeted/paginated authenticated APIs, then rerun the same approved write and require zero new documents and zero new links. Keep real evidence private.
7. If rollback is required, preview first, remove run-owned links, refuse externally referenced documents, delete exact run-owned object versions and metadata/claims, then reconcile zero eligible run-owned resources.

CloudFormation/IAM and merge-safe ownership

• infra/template.full.yaml: no table/GSI/bucket resource change is required. Limit changes to any required object-version IAM actions and, only if introduced, explicit bounded configuration such as prepare expiry/concurrency limits. Preserve the existing retained/versioned/KMS/TLS controls.
• Add a focused infrastructure test file for Migrate 2024–2026 bookkeeping PDFs through an idempotent document API #117 rather than editing currently contested assertions in tests/infra/test_template.py where possible.
• New owned files: backend/scripts/import-bookkeeping-documents.ts, importer modules under a new backend/src/bookkeeping-document-import/ directory, and dedicated synthetic tests such as backend/tests/bookkeeping-document-import*.test.ts.
• Focused shared files: backend/src/routes/bookkeeping.ts and backend/src/db/bookkeeping.ts. Keep migration logic in new modules so these edits are small adapters/atomic primitives.
• Avoid backend/src/router.ts, backend/src/handler.ts, frontend files, and Automate private Mailchimp account exports and attach them to recurring work #108/Add authenticated, idempotent email-document intake into private DataOps storage #109 modules entirely. Those paths are already dirty from parallel work.
• infra/template.full.yaml, backend/package.json, and the lockfile are unavoidable shared integration points only if IAM/config or a streaming ZIP dependency is added. Rebase/merge Automate private Mailchimp account exports and attach them to recurring work #108/Add authenticated, idempotent email-document intake into private DataOps storage #109 first or apply/stage Migrate 2024–2026 bookkeeping PDFs through an idempotent document API #117 hunks deliberately; never overwrite their working-tree changes. yazl writes ZIPs but does not inspect them, so use a maintained streaming ZIP reader rather than implementing ZIP parsing manually.

This is an architecture pass provided the implementation uses an atomic claim/transaction path and guarded, version-aware cleanup/rollback. A scan-based hash check, delete-then-put activation, metadata-only rollback, or importer-side AWS SDK access should fail Tester review.

AUTHENTICATION COMPATIBILITY AUDIT — #119 changes the operator acquisition path for #117.

Current deployed contract:

• The supported primary credential is the opaque DataOps browser session created after the shared Cognito authorization-code/PKCE flow. For an operator script, persist only the host-scoped dataops_session cookie in an ignored, mode-0600 auth file and send it as a Cookie header.
• The API origin must be https://ops.dtcdev.click. The cookie is host-only and Secure, so the Lambda Function URL is not an equivalent target.
• Production /api/auth/login intentionally returns 404. Basic authentication is no longer accepted. A Cognito ID/access JWT is not a DataOps API bearer token and must be rejected.
• Existing opaque DataOps bearer sessions remain deliberately compatible, but there is no production API that mints a new one. Bearer should therefore be an optional compatibility input, not the documented/default acquisition path.
• The bookkeeping ingestion key remains limited to POST /api/bookkeeping/ingest; it must not authorize document inventory, lookup, upload, linking, reconciliation, or rollback.

Importer contract:

• Add --api-base-url https://ops.dtcdev.click and --auth-cookie-file <ignored-private-path>. Never accept a raw cookie/token on the command line.
• A small operator helper may open the normal hosted login in a headed browser, wait for authenticated GET /api/me, and write only the DataOps cookie, origin, and expiry to the private mode-0600 file. It must not handle passwords, call AWS directly, or print session/OAuth values.
• Before reading private archive members or making any migration call, perform GET /api/me without following redirects and require an enabled mapped user. Use the same credential for dry-run API reads, prepare/upload/complete, links, reconciliation, rollback preview, and rollback write. If the bounded session expires, stop safely and resume after acquiring a new session.
• Fail closed for multiple auth inputs, a non-HTTPS/wrong origin in a write run, invalid/expired cookie metadata, redirect or HTML response, 401/403, Basic credentials, Cognito JWTs, raw trusted headers, or an ingestion credential on a document route. Never log request headers, cookie values, signed URLs, or auth-file contents.

Suggested invocation shape (path values only):

npm --prefix backend exec -- tsx scripts/acquire-operator-session.ts -- \
  --api-base-url https://ops.dtcdev.click \
  --output .tmp/bookkeeping-document-import/operator-session.json

npm --prefix backend run import:bookkeeping-documents -- \
  --api-base-url https://ops.dtcdev.click \
  --auth-cookie-file .tmp/bookkeeping-document-import/operator-session.json \
  <normal dry-run/write/rollback flags>

Required auth regressions should cover cookie authorization on every new #117 route; valid legacy opaque-bearer compatibility; generic 401 for absent and existent probes; expired/revoked sessions; and denial of Basic, Cognito JWT, ingestion-key-only, and fabricated identity-header requests. Also test mode/owner/symlink/origin/expiry validation for the private auth file, no API redirect following, preflight before member reads/writes, and redacted error/log output.

This preserves #119's browser security model while giving the migration a repeatable operator-auth path.

ENGINEER HANDOFF — READY FOR TEST

Implemented the API-only, dry-run-first bookkeeping document migration for #117. No supplied/private archive was read, copied, uploaded, or otherwise processed during engineering; all automated coverage uses generated synthetic PDFs, ZIPs, and manifests.

Implementation highlights:

• Added an importer command and strict manifest schema with central-directory-first ZIP validation, bounded streaming, explicit safe exclusions, PDF magic/hash verification, dry-run approvals, confirmed writes, durable private checkpoint/journal state, resume, exact reconciliation, no-op rerun proof, and preview-first API rollback.
• Added authenticated document hash lookup/backfill, atomic prepare/complete/cancel lifecycle, short-lived exact-header presigned PUTs, transactional content claims, server-side streaming verification, safe link creation, run reconciliation, and run-owned rollback.
• Added document/report reference guards and exact S3 object-version cleanup. Monthly report archive finalization is conditional; if a version ID cannot be proven, it remains in retryable cleanup-required state and never issues an unsafe plain delete.
• Kept importer writes API-only: the script has no direct AWS SDK/storage client import. Portal/operator auth is preflighted before archive member reads, with strict private auth-file validation and no ingestion-credential expansion.
• Added least-privilege object-version IAM actions and focused infrastructure assertions.
• Added synthetic route/import regressions for hostile archives, safe exclusions, atomic concurrency, failed completion cleanup, deferred cleanup recovery, exact-version rollback/report cleanup, auth probing, interrupted HTTP resume, stale checkpoints, many-to-many links, redaction, reconciliation, and no-op reruns.

Validation completed:

• npm test — PASS, 1,215 tests / 176 suites.
• npm run typecheck — PASS.
• npm run build — PASS.
• NODE_ENV=test SKIP_AUTH=true node --import tsx --test tests/bookkeeping-document-atomic-api.test.ts tests/bookkeeping-document-import.test.ts (from backend/) — PASS, 16/16.
• Focused and existing infrastructure tests — PASS, 22/22.
• sam validate --lint --template-file infra/template.full.yaml — PASS.
• sam build --template-file infra/template.full.yaml — PASS after the final exact-version cleanup regression.
• git diff --check — PASS.
• Tracked-file/privacy/status scan — PASS: no PDF, ZIP, workbook, real manifest, fingerprint, checkpoint, journal, or migration evidence is present in the change set; importer evidence remains constrained to ignored private .tmp/ paths.

Acceptance coverage is implemented in code and synthetic tests. The final [HUMAN] sandbox operation remains intentionally outstanding: an authorized operator must review the private mapping, perform the real three-year dry-run and confirmed write, retain private evidence, verify exact reconciliation and representative portal behavior, then prove the second write creates zero documents and links.

No commit or push has been performed pending Tester and PM approval.

CHANGES REQUESTED

Independent Tester verification used synthetic data only. I did not access the supplied archives, call production/AWS, edit code, commit, or push. No UI changed, so screenshots are not applicable.

Passing verification:

• cd backend && npm test — exit 0; 1,215/1,215 tests, 176 suites.
• cd backend && npm run typecheck — exit 0.
• cd backend && npm run build — exit 0.
• cd backend && NODE_ENV=test SKIP_AUTH=true node --import tsx --test tests/bookkeeping-document-atomic-api.test.ts tests/bookkeeping-document-import.test.ts — exit 0; 16/16 tests, 3 suites.
• uv run --with pytest python -m pytest tests/infra -q — exit 0; 22/22.
• sam validate --lint --template-file infra/template.full.yaml — exit 0; valid.
• sam build --template-file infra/template.full.yaml — exit 0; build succeeded.
• git diff --check, tracked archive/artifact scan, secret/private-path diff scan, and git status --short — pass. No PDF/ZIP/XLSX or run evidence is tracked; .tmp/ is ignored.

Blocking findings:

1. Transient presigned PUT failures are not retried with backoff. BookkeepingApi.upload performs one fetch and maps every non-412 non-success response, including 429/5xx, directly to upload-rejected (backend/src/bookkeeping-document-import/api.ts:110-126). An independent synthetic 503 server check exited 1 with {calls:1, reason:"upload-rejected", expectedCalls:3}. This fails the bounded retry/backoff acceptance criterion. The existing interruption test explicitly expects the first 503 to abort (backend/tests/bookkeeping-document-atomic-api.test.ts:232-242,277). Implement bounded replay-safe upload retry (a fresh stream/presigned lifecycle where required), honoring retryable statuses/backoff and never blindly retrying permanent failures.

2. Dry-run approval and post-write reconciliation are not exact enough. The signed dry-run plan stores occurrences/unique/duplicates/exclusions/links but omits planned active/absent and document/link create/reuse counts (backend/scripts/import-bookkeeping-documents.ts:23-32,352-372). Therefore remote state can change between approval and write without a planned create/reuse mismatch. Final reconciliation only checks each lookup state is active, then link presence and run-owned ID sets (:512-545); it does not re-compare every document byte size/type/account/month, exact requested result cardinality/IDs, rejected-reason counts, or dry-run categorized/create-reuse equations. Persist these planned equations in the fingerprinted approval and fail non-zero on any post-write category/metadata/outcome mismatch.

3. Rollback failures are not checkpointed. The write result is checked and rollback-reconciliation-mismatch is thrown before the result is journaled or written (backend/scripts/import-bookkeeping-documents.ts:291-306). Persist the response/failure state before evaluating success and add interruption/failure/resume coverage, including an exact-version deletion failure and a refusal/race.

4. Runtime input cardinality and operator limit configuration are missing. The JSON schema and runtime validator have no maxItems for archives, documents, sources, transactions, or exclusions (backend/scripts/bookkeeping-document-manifest.schema.json:10-80; backend/src/bookkeeping-document-import/manifest.ts:14-87). An independent synthetic check supplied 2,001 archives and exited 1 because validation accepted them. Archive limits exist only as internal defaults (types.ts:37-44) and are not configurable through the operator script. Add conservative bounded cardinalities in both schema/runtime validation and a safe operator configuration surface included in the dry-run fingerprint.

5. Required regressions are incomplete. Current hostile ZIP cases cover traversal, symlink, normalized collision, magic, ratio, and invalid PDF exclusion, but not absolute paths, encryption, malformed ZIP, member-count, compressed/member/total byte limits, or hostile structural/resource failures also marked excluded. Auth tests do not exercise mode/owner/symlink/origin/expiry individually, cookie authorization on every new route, expired/revoked sessions, or denial of Basic/Cognito JWT/fabricated identity headers/ingestion-only credentials across complete/cancel/backfill/resolve/inventory. Atomic tests do not prove concurrent link creation, backfill conflict/readiness, bounded multi-page reconciliation, or actual report/link-versus-rollback races. Add the groomed synthetic HTTP/Lambda regressions rather than relying on code inspection.

Acceptance status in issue order:
1 PASS; 2 FAIL; 3 PASS; 4 FAIL; 5 FAIL (coverage incomplete); 6 PASS; 7 FAIL; 8 FAIL; 9 FAIL; 10 FAIL (coverage incomplete); 11 PASS; 12 PASS for the present synthetic boundary/direct-SDK assertion but required cases above remain missing; 13 PASS; 14 PASS; 15 HUMAN pending and not exercised by Tester.

No real migration should run until the failed agent-verifiable criteria pass.
