- New Appeal slice stream documented complete (`context/refactor-tracker.md`, `context/newappeal-refactor-current-state.md`).
- Significant route/breadcrumb decomposition and helper extraction completed.
- Broad endpoint contract hardening completed across key clusters.
- Representation Participation Availability investigation completed from a technical discovery/documentation perspective.
- Representation participation behaviour is now documented as one coherent decision model with layered appeal-type, specialist-process, participant-type, consultation, and date-window exceptions.
- Source documents added:
- `docs/representation-participation-availability.md` (developers / architects / maintainers)
- `docs/representation-participation-business-review.md` (business / product / SME validation)
## What is incomplete
@@ -22,6 +27,7 @@ PEDW is in a **late-stage refactor stabilization** phase.
- SSR loader resilience normalization across myportal/representation/new appeal.
- Logging hardening consistency in auth/file/account-sensitive paths.
- Remaining decomposition hotspots (`components/elements/index.js`, representation flow internals).
- Business validation of Representation Participation Availability before any further representation-policy adoption, expansion, or behaviour-change work.
## Operational risk profile (current)
@@ -36,3 +42,17 @@ Top active risks:
- Some context docs still describe pre-refactor representation baseline; treat those as historical unless updated by active slice evidence.
- Legacy commented code remains in active files (especially journey files) and should be treated as cleanup debt, not source-of-truth runtime behaviour.
## Representation Participation Availability — Current State
- Technical discovery/documentation stream is complete.
- Current architectural conclusion: do **not** continue searching for a new representation domain boundary at this point.
- Representation participation is best understood as one coherent decision model with layered exceptions rather than a set of unrelated CTA rules.
- Known divergences and compatibility-sensitive behaviours are documented and should be preserved unless an explicit business decision authorizes change.
- Current state: awaiting business validation of `docs/representation-participation-business-review.md` before any further representation-policy adoption, expansion, or behavioural change work.
## Next likely discovery candidate
- **Case Lifecycle / Status Decision Model Discovery**
- Investigate how the portal interprets case progress, stages, statuses, closed states, dashboard grouping, and user-facing lifecycle messaging.
- Treat this as discovery only until the new representation participation documentation has been reviewed and business validation feedback is available.
