This folder defines the mandatory engineering governance for transforming this codebase into a reusable, configuration-driven, multi-tenant Marketplace Platform (Marketplace-as-a-Service).
This repository is not treated as a single marketplace website.
It is a platform runtime that must support unlimited tenants from one Angular application.
## Platform Principles
- One codebase, unlimited tenants.
- Every tenant has three surfaces: Website, Builder, Backoffice.
- Frontend contains no tenant-specific implementation code.
- Tenant behavior is controlled by configuration loaded at bootstrap.
- Authentication, payment, authorization behavior and contracts remain unchanged.
- Prefer composition over inheritance.
- Prefer configuration over conditionals.
- No circular dependencies.
- Shared and UI layers are feature-agnostic.
## Non-Negotiable Constraints
- Authentication behavior remains exactly as current implementation.
- Payment API behavior remains exactly as current implementation.
- Authorization behavior remains exactly as current implementation.
- Existing authentication and payment API contracts cannot be changed.
- Proven modules are reused, wrapped, and isolated, not redesigned.
Platform-wide standardization was executed before Admin Platform work.
### Completed Standardization
- Verified and enforced container/facade/domain/infrastructure boundaries across active website features.
- Removed remaining legacy variant naming in application-layer templates/styles.
- Removed duplicate legacy search-history implementation in catalog feature module.
- Standardized design-token surface with explicit spacing, radius, shadow, and transition tokens.
- Added widget metadata support for title/subtitle/visibility/layout/animation/style/permissions in shared contracts and dynamic rendering path.
- Converted remaining identified hardcoded UI strings in audited runtime pages/components to translation keys.
### Bootstrap/Configuration Gaps Identified
- Widget permission model supports auth gating but role/permission enforcement is limited by current auth session shape (no role list in session model).
- Popular search defaults are currently facade-local and should be moved to bootstrap-configurable catalog search settings.
- Storage key naming conventions for local persistence are platform-scoped but still static constants; optional bootstrap override could improve tenant isolation.
### Validation Baseline
- Build and architecture checks are required for acceptance of this sprint.
- Final details and file-level changes are tracked in `Platform-Standardization-Report.md`.
