 - `refactor: marketplace release polish` — accessibility pass (explicit `aria-label` on every previously-unlabeled filter `<select>` across the new admin modules), loading-skeleton consistency across admin list pages that previously rendered blank during the initial fetch, and consolidation of the admin dashboard card's custom loading shimmer onto the shared skeleton component.
 
+- **Storefront premium UX polish** (RC-Visual-02, RC-Premium-01, RC STORE-01) — composition fixes (shared skeleton/empty-state components, undefined theme vars), visual/interaction polish (hover/focus states, color-only-signal fixes), and cleanup across Home/Catalog/Search/Product/Compare/Wishlist/Cart/Static Pages. Full history: `docs/archive/`.
+- **Performance audit** (RC PERF-01) — initial bundle 1.47 MB → 1.12 MB (−24%), biggest win from lazy-loading en/hy i18n packs; dead `items-carousel`/primeng-only component removed.
+- **WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit** (RC A11Y-01) — first skip link added app-wide, dialog focus-trap fixes, keyboard-operable drag-and-drop fallbacks, contrast fixes.
+- **Release-candidate walkthrough** — 2 P0s fixed: an app-wide query-param routing bug, and Backoffice Categories CRUD being completely broken end-to-end.
+- **Dead-code cleanup** — removed unregistered auth guards/interceptor, unused search-analytics service, empty backoffice scaffold directories, orphaned shared barrels/models.

-# Release Notes
-
-## Admin Backoffice Expansion
-
-This release adds a complete admin backoffice on top of the existing dashboard and product management:
-
-- **Categories** — create, organize into a hierarchy, reorder by drag-and-drop, and publish categories from the admin panel.
-- **Products** — archive/restore, variants, related products, and a proper image gallery, now linked to real admin-managed categories.
-- **Media Library** — folders, tags, upload validation, automatic image compression, and one shared picker used everywhere an image is needed.
-- **Orders** — view and manage orders: change status, request refunds, cancel, leave notes, print invoices.
-- **Transactions** — track payments and refunds, retry failed ones, flag suspicious activity.
-- **Users & Roles** — invite teammates, assign roles, and review who's logged in.
-- **Monitoring** — one place to see recent admin activity, login attempts, and system health.
-- **Analytics** — sales, revenue, and top-product numbers with a simple date-range chart.

+    (`https://api.dexarmarket.ru:445`) in both `environment.ts` and `environment.production.ts`.
+  - `AdminWebSessionID` header — **fixed a real bug**: the interceptor only attached it to
+    URLs containing `/admin/`, but every real backend path is `/backoffice/*`, `/builder/*`,
+    `/media/*` — none of those matched, so every new admin call would have silently gone out
+    with no admin auth header at all. Broadened the guard in `admin-auth-headers.interceptor.ts`.
+  - `telegramBot` username — still unverified against `bot.go`'s `startbot()`.
+  - Frontend deploy domain vs. CORS allow-list — **decided**: frontend and API stay on the
+    same domain, so this is a non-issue by design rather than something to reconcile against
+    an allow-list.

+class implementing the existing `*Gateway` interface, plus one `InjectionToken` factory that
+picks mock vs. real off `RuntimeProviderStrategyService`, then switch the facade(s) to inject
+the token instead of the concrete mock class. See [§14](BACKEND_API.md#14-backend-replacement-pattern) for the general pattern.

 **RC-Premium-01 — Storefront premium UX polish**
-Visual/interaction polish on top of the RC-Visual-02 baseline — no redesign, no logic/route changes. Fixed color-only state signaling app-wide (added `aria-pressed`/`aria-current`/`aria-live` + icon/checkmark pairing to selected swatches, active filters/tabs/sort, toggle buttons), normalized remaining hardcoded hex to design tokens, added hover/focus-visible/active/disabled states across interactive controls, capped legal/CMS prose at 70ch, converted FAQ to native `<details>` disclosures. Four commits (Home/Catalog/Search, Product/Compare/Wishlist, Cart/Checkout, Static Pages). Detail: `docs/STORE_FRONT_UX_REVIEW.md`.

 **RC PERF-01 — Performance audit** (production-readiness, app-wide)
-Initial bundle **1.47 MB → 1.12 MB raw (−24%)**: biggest win was lazy-loading en/hy i18n packs (346 KB were eagerly loaded regardless of visitor language), plus a dead `items-carousel`/primeng-only component deleted, dead global CSS removed.

 **RC A11Y-01 — WCAG 2.1 AA audit** (storefront, builder, backoffice)
-Added the app's first skip link (didn't exist anywhere before), fixed cart's custom payment modals having zero focus-trap, fixed `app-icon`'s "decorative by default" claim never actually being implemented, fixed 2 keyboard-inaccessible drag-and-drop reorder UIs (Builder homepage/footer, Backoffice categories), fixed an undefined `--color-primary` token in Builder, fixed admin sidebar nav announcing itself as "Dashboard" everywhere. Contrast fixes applied where safe; genuine brand-color contrast failures flagged for theme-owner sign-off, not changed unilaterally. Detail: `docs/ACCESSIBILITY_REPORT.md`.

 **Release Candidate — live browser walkthrough** (storefront, builder, backoffice)
-Found and fixed **2 P0s**: (1) `language.guard.ts`'s legacy-URL redirect broke query params on every route app-wide (silently dead-ended any bookmarked/shared deep link with query params); (2) Backoffice Categories CRUD was completely broken end-to-end — wrong gateway-resolution fallback always picked the real HTTP gateway instead of the local mock in this environment, so every create/publish silently failed with zero user feedback. Plus 6 P1s (cart description, compare table raw enum values, search empty-state messaging, footer link 404, missing placeholder image, builder save-bar reset-state bug, backoffice mislabeled button). Detail: `docs/RELEASE_REPORT.md`.

-## What this is
-
-A configuration-driven, multi-tenant SaaS marketplace platform (Angular 18+, standalone components). One frontend codebase serves unlimited tenants ("marketplaces"). Tenant identity, theme, navigation, page/section/widget composition, and static content are all resolved from a per-tenant `bootstrap.json` fetched at runtime — no tenant-specific code paths exist in the frontend. See `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` and `docs/backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md#4-bootstrap` for the mechanics.
-
-Every tenant conceptually has three surfaces on this one codebase:
-- **Website** — the public storefront (catalog, product pages, cart, static pages).
-- **Builder** (Project Editor) — an in-app editor that edits the tenant's `BootstrapConfig` (see `docs/EDITOR.md`).
-- **Backoffice** (Admin) — an admin area for products, and (as of Sprint 19) a dashboard; more domains are placeholders pending backend (see `docs/ADMIN.md`).
-
-## Tenant / marketplace model
-
-- Tenant is resolved **only by request domain/host** — never by query param, localStorage, or hardcoded ID.
-- The frontend loads `GET /bootstrap` (tenant resolved server-side by host) and renders entirely from that JSON: theme, layout, navigation, pages, sections, widgets, static pages, feature flags.
-- Widgets never call APIs directly; they receive resolved data through facades/resolvers.
-- New tenants are onboarded by domain + bootstrap config + backend data, not by forking the frontend.
-- Full contract: `docs/backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md#4-bootstrap`.
-
-## Doc index
-
-- **[ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)** — layered architecture, container/facade/service pattern, bootstrap/theme/widget engines, links to the enforced ADRs.
-- **[backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md](backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md)** — the single canonical backend/API spec: architecture, auth, security, bootstrap, conventions, every endpoint (CURRENT/PLANNED/FUTURE), DTOs, state machines, validation, media, errors, localization, caching. Start here if you're a backend engineer picking up this project.
-- **[FRONTEND.md](FRONTEND.md)** — app structure, routing, i18n, theming, state management (signals/facades, no NgRx), dynamic rendering.
-- **[EDITOR.md](EDITOR.md)** — the Project Editor: every section, the save/publish/draft/reset model, and the field-description/dropdown UX.
-- **[StaticPages.md](StaticPages.md)** — the Static Pages module: full field reference, per-page draft/publish gating, CRUD/search/filter/bulk, rich text, device preview, nav integration (Sprint X+2).
-- **[PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md](PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md)** — folder-by-folder tour of `src/app/**` with a worked "add a new feature" example (admin dashboard).

-npm run start:dexar     # ng serve --configuration=development --port 4200
-npm run build           # ng build
-npm run build:dexar     # ng build --configuration=production
-npm run watch           # ng build --watch --configuration development
-npm run arch:check      # boundary + circular-dependency checks (tools/architecture/check-boundaries.mjs, madge)
-```
-
-Barry Cache (repo memory, optional but recommended before/after non-trivial work):
-
-```bash
-npm run barry -- resume --task "<task>"
-npm run barry -- validate
-```
-
-See root `CLAUDE.md` for the full Barry Cache workflow and memory policy.

+
+## ⚠️ Read before touching routing or storefront static pages
+
+`pages/category/*`, `pages/search/*`, `pages/item-detail/*`, `pages/info/**`, and `pages/legal/**` (40+ files) look like live storefront pages but are **entirely unrouted dead code**. `src/app/app.routes.ts`'s `cmsContentRoutes` is a literal empty array. The real routes redirect `category/:id`/`search` to `CatalogContainerComponent`, `product/:id` to `ProductDetailsContainerComponent`, and every static/legal page (About, Contacts, FAQ, etc.) is served by the catch-all `:staticPath` route resolving `bootstrap.staticPages` — not by the hardcoded components under `pages/info`/`pages/legal`. Full detail: [KNOWN-ISSUES.md](KNOWN-ISSUES.md) item 13. Several polish passes in `docs/archive/` were applied to this dead code before this was caught — treat any claim in an archived doc about "the category page" or "the search page" as **not describing what currently renders in production**.
+
+## What this is
+
+A configuration-driven, multi-tenant SaaS marketplace platform (Angular 21.1, standalone components). One frontend codebase serves unlimited tenants ("marketplaces"). Tenant identity, theme, navigation, page/section/widget composition, and static content all resolve from a per-tenant `bootstrap.json` fetched at runtime — no tenant-specific code paths exist in the frontend. New tenants are onboarded by domain + config + backend data, never by forking the frontend.
+
+Every tenant has three surfaces on this one codebase:
+- **Website** — the public storefront (catalog, product pages, cart, static pages).
+- **Builder** (Project Editor, `/edit/**`) — an in-app editor that edits the tenant's `BootstrapConfig`.
+- **Backoffice** (Admin, `/:lang/backoffice/**`) — the admin area: products, categories (live-wired to a real gateway), orders, transactions, users, monitoring, analytics, media.
+
+## System overview
+
+- **Architecture**: `Component (container) → Facade → Domain Service → Repository/Provider (DI token, swappable mock↔API) → Mock | API`. Enforced by `npm run arch:check` (import boundaries + circular deps), not just convention. Full detail: [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md), governance docs at `docs/architecture/foundation/**` (10 ADRs + 9 standards docs).
+- **State**: Signals-based facades everywhere, no NgRx (ADR-007).
+- **Rendering**: Bootstrap JSON → Section Engine → Page Renderer → Widget Host → registered widget component (ADR-005). 100% lazy-loaded routes.
+- **Theming**: CSS custom properties per tenant, 3 theme stylesheets, never hardcoded hex in a component (ADR-008). Design system spec: [`DESIGN.md`](../DESIGN.md) (root of repo).
+- **i18n**: 3 locales (en/ru/hy), compile-time-enforced key parity across locale files.
+- **Backend**: mostly PLANNED (mock gateways behind swappable provider tokens) — see [BACKEND_API.md](BACKEND_API.md) for the full CURRENT/PLANNED/FUTURE endpoint spec, [BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md](BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md) for the prioritized punch list. Categories is the one domain fully wired to a real HTTP gateway; everything else is local/mock.
+
+## Doc index (living documents)
+
+Read these directly — they're the current source of truth, not one-off reports:
+
+| Doc | What it covers |
+|---|---|
+| [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) | Layered architecture, container/facade/service pattern, bootstrap/theme/widget engines, links to the enforced ADRs |
+| [BACKEND_API.md](BACKEND_API.md) | Canonical backend/API spec — every endpoint, DTO, state machine, error contract |
+| [BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md](BACKEND_API_REMAINING_WORK.md) | Prioritized backend punch list (companion to the spec above) |
+| [FRONTEND.md](FRONTEND.md) | App structure, routing, i18n, theming, state management, dynamic rendering |
+| [EDITOR.md](EDITOR.md) | The Project Editor: every section, save/publish/draft/reset model |
+| [StaticPages.md](StaticPages.md) | The Static Pages CMS module (the thing that actually serves About/Contacts/etc. today) |
+| [PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md](PROJECT-STRUCTURE.md) | Folder-by-folder tour of `src/app/**` with a worked feature-add example |
+| [ADMIN.md](ADMIN.md) | Admin backoffice: routing, architecture, data sources |
+| [AUTH.md](AUTH.md) | Ed25519 admin auth — prepared, not live; current live gate is Telegram-QR |
+| [FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md](FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md) | Status snapshot refreshed from recent commits — what shipped, what's open |
+| [KNOWN-ISSUES.md](KNOWN-ISSUES.md) | Running list of open/fixed bugs found during manual verification |
+| [ANGULAR22_PLAN.md](ANGULAR22_PLAN.md) | Angular 22 upgrade feasibility (research only, not yet executed) |
+| [SALES-GUIDE.md](SALES-GUIDE.md) | Plain-language guide for the sales team — what to demo, what's not live yet |
+| [`../DESIGN.md`](../DESIGN.md) | Visual design system: colors, typography, elevation, component specs |
+| [`../PRODUCT.md`](../PRODUCT.md) | Product positioning, users, brand personality, anti-references |
+| [`../CHANGELOG.md`](../CHANGELOG.md) | Keep-a-Changelog-format history of shipped features |
+| `docs/architecture/foundation/**` | Enforced ADRs (ADR-001…ADR-010) and standards docs — governance, read directly |
+| `docs/context/**` | Barry Cache's own source-backed memory system — infrastructure, not project documentation, do not edit by hand |
+
+**One topic, one place**: routing lives in FRONTEND.md, not repeated here. Backend contract lives in BACKEND_API.md, not repeated in ADMIN.md. Design tokens live in DESIGN.md, not repeated in the archived UI review docs. If you find the same fact stated two places with different values, the doc in this table wins over anything in `docs/archive/`.
+
+## Historical / completed audits — `docs/archive/`
+
+One-time audit reports, sprint reports, and polish-pass logs. Useful for "why was this changed" archaeology, **not** for "what's true now" — check the living docs above for that. Contents: `SPRINT-PLAN.md`, `ADMIN-UX-AUDIT.md`, `ADMIN_REVIEW.md`, `RELEASE-CANDIDATE-AUDIT.md`, `STORE_FRONT_REVIEW.md`, `STORE_FRONT_UX_REVIEW.md`, `STORE_REVIEW.md`, `UI-COMPOSITION-REVIEW.md`, `UI-DESIGN-REVIEW.md`, `UI-ICON-AUDIT.md`, `PERFORMANCE_REPORT.md`, `ACCESSIBILITY_REPORT.md`, `RELEASE_REPORT.md`, `CLEANUP_REPORT.md`, `PROJECT-STATE.md`, plus 3 early sprint reports and a platform-standardization report at the repo root's `docs/archive/`. Every open finding worth keeping from these was merged into [KNOWN-ISSUES.md](KNOWN-ISSUES.md) or [FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md](FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md) before archiving — nothing was lost, just deduplicated.
+
+## How to run it
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run start           # ng serve
+npm run start:dexar      # ng serve --configuration=development --port 4200
+npm run build            # ng build
+npm run build:dexar      # ng build --configuration=production
+npm run arch:check       # boundary + circular-dependency checks
+```
+
+Barry Cache (repo memory, optional but recommended before/after non-trivial work):
+
+```bash
+npm run barry -- resume --task "<task>"
+npm run barry -- validate
+```
+
+See root `CLAUDE.md` for the full Barry Cache workflow and memory policy.
+
+## Current status
+
+- **Frontend**: ~96% of planned UI built. Storefront/Builder/Backoffice all have working UI; several polish/audit passes complete (see below).
+- **Backend**: in progress — mostly PLANNED/mock gateways, no confirmed live backend contract beyond auth/session and storefront reads. Categories is the one domain fully wired to a real gateway.
+- **Storefront polish, performance audit, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit, release-candidate walkthrough**: all done — see [FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md](FRONTEND-ROADMAP.md) for the summary of each, `docs/archive/` for the full original reports.
+- **Angular 22 upgrade**: not started, feasibility researched — see [ANGULAR22_PLAN.md](ANGULAR22_PLAN.md) (verdict: safe, ~2-3.5 days, 2 tooling blockers to clear first).
+- **Documentation**: consolidated (this pass) — 19 one-off reports archived, 2 files renamed for clarity (`PROJECT.md`→`PROJECT_INDEX.md`, `backend/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md`→`BACKEND_API.md`), 1 duplicate deleted (`RELEASE-NOTES.md` merged into `CHANGELOG.md`).
+- **First client demo**: upcoming — blocked on nothing documentation can fix; see [KNOWN-ISSUES.md](KNOWN-ISSUES.md) for what's still open, starting with the dead-routes finding at the top of this document.
+
+Draft/publish for the Project Editor is still **frontend-only** (localStorage), no backend persistence — the single largest backend gap, see [BACKEND_API.md §6.7](BACKEND_API.md#67-builder--bootstrap-draftpublishvalidate-planned-highest-priority).

 ## Original decision (preserved for history)
 
 Configuration must initially come from mock JSON and later from backend API without changing consumers. `ConfigService` is the only configuration entrypoint; consumers depend on typed selectors only; provider implementation is swappable (`MockBootstrapProvider` / `ApiBootstrapProvider`); the frontend calls `GET /bootstrap` when the API provider is enabled and never passes a tenant id.

 Authentication and payment flows are proven and contract-sensitive. Platform refactoring must not break existing integrations.

 4. **Confusing:**
    - Every status badge renders as `adminOrders.status.pending` / `.processing` / etc. instead of a real label — and there's no color-coding visible in the text-only pass to compensate (needs a live visual check for whether color alone carries the status, which would itself be an accessibility problem if true).

A later documentation-consolidation pass confirmed directly against `app.routes.ts` that all of these are genuinely unrouted dead code (`cmsContentRoutes` is a literal empty array). See `docs/KNOWN-ISSUES.md` item 13.

 Follow-up to `docs/UI-COMPOSITION-REVIEW.md` (RC-Visual-02). That sprint fixed *composition* bugs — undefined theme variables, hand-rolled skeletons/empty-states replaced with shared components, missing `scope="col"`. This sprint (RC-Premium-01) is a narrower, purely *visual/interaction* polish pass on top of that clean baseline: hierarchy, spacing, states, motion, accessibility signaling. No redesign, no business-logic changes, no route changes, no new components — reuses `src/app/shared/ui/*` and the existing token set in `src/styles.scss` exclusively.

-## Explicitly not in this list
-
-- Auth / Telegram session (`GET /bootstrap` transport, `/users/sessions/*`) — covered by
-  backend's `API-CONTRACT.md`, frontend wiring already matches it exactly. Three small
-  gaps remain from that delivery (see prior conversation): `authApiUrl` env value still
-  points at the old host, `telegramBot` username unverified, frontend deploy domain needs
-  confirming against the CORS allow-list. None of those are new backend work — they're
-  config/confirmation follow-ups on what was already delivered.
-- Payments — frozen, unchanged, out of scope per [§2.8](BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md#28-payments-frozen-documented-for-completeness).
-- Storefront reads/writes (categories, items, search, cart, reviews) — already real HTTP,
-  already working, no backend work needed. See [§6.1](BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md#61-storefront-reads-current--frozen-shapes-srcappservicesapiservicets)–[§6.2](BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md#62-storefront-writes-current--frozen-shapes).

-## For every item above, when implementing
-
-Read the interface + model file cited in the linked spec section before writing the
-endpoint — the shape is already fixed by the frontend gateway interface, not up for
-renegotiation without a frontend change. When an endpoint is done, the frontend swap is
-a one-file gateway rebind (see [§14](BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md#14-backend-replacement-pattern)) — no page/component changes needed on our side.
