Reviewed BACKEND.md top to bottom (4775 lines, 10 sections) against
the full backend-handoff checklist (auth, bootstrap, every endpoint,
media, all domains, pagination/filter/sort/search, error contract,
maintenance mode, status codes, versioning, rate limits, CORS,
security, websocket/events, mock-to-api migration).
Confirmed already covered, no action: Authentication (§4, all
sub-items), Bootstrap (§1, full), every domain's CRUD contract (§3.1-
3.20, includes Moderation under 3.17.b), Media (§7), SEO (bootstrap
SeoConfig + per-page seo + sitemap tracked as remaining work), Error
Model (§6), Maintenance Mode (§10), Migration guide (§8).
Added (genuine gaps, not covered anywhere in the doc):
- §2.10 API path versioning - no endpoint has a version segment/header
anywhere; only BootstrapConfig.schemaVersion exists and that only
versions the bootstrap payload shape, not the API surface. Flagged
as a backend/infra decision with zero frontend impact either way.
- §2.11 Real-time/WebSocket - confirmed no WebSocket/SSE exists
anywhere in the frontend; consolidated the 5 places that look "live"
(QR/Telegram login, payment status, session validity, maintenance
notice, admin monitoring) into one table, all client-side polling.
Flagged push-vs-poll as a backend decision, most relevant to payment
latency and the session-revocation propagation delay.
- Renumbered the section's "Consolidated requires-backend-decision"
list 2.9 -> 2.12 (moved after the two new subsections, no other
content changed) and added both new items to it. No other §2.x
cross-references existed elsewhere in the doc to update.
No duplication found requiring merge; docs/archive/BACKEND_API.md
cross-references are intentional (superseded-but-kept historical
detail, per the doc's own stated design), not obsolete/duplicate
content.
