CL-001: TASK22211 endpoint search-document contract consistency slice

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/endpoint/{getsearchdocumenthistory_api,getsearchdocumenthistorypaged_api,getsearchdocumentdetails_api,getsearchdocumentdetailspaged_api,getsearchdocumentTypes_api}.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Continue the endpoint contract-consistency stream by normalizing a coherent search-document handler cluster that still used raw error passthrough and noisy legacy logging patterns.
impact: Improved negative-path consistency and safer error contract handling in search-document endpoints while preserving success payload behavior.
status: completed

Summary:

• Branch created from SIPS-Development: TASK22211-endpoint-search-document-contract-consistency.
• Standardized five search-document handlers to respondError/respondSuccess usage.
• Added explicit required-input guards:
  • DOCUMENT_ID_REQUIRED for history/historypaged
  • INCIDENT_ID_REQUIRED for details/detailspaged/types
  • ORDER_BY_REQUIRED, FIELD_SORT_REQUIRED, SHOW_NUMBER_OF_RECORDS_REQUIRED for details-paged query requirements
• Removed noisy direct logging in paged/details code paths.
• Preserved success contract patterns (pass-through or transformed payloads where already established).
• Expanded phase21 endpoint tests with missing-input, catch-path, and success parity assertions for this cluster.

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 11/11
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 53/53
• npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps warnings; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• Continue the next endpoint cluster using the same pattern (bounded slice + phase21 test expansion).
• Keep response success payloads contract-stable and avoid broad relay/auth refactors in this stream.

CL-002: TASK22211 endpoint token handler contract consistency slice

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/endpoint/getToken.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Close out remaining non-standard endpoint contract handling by normalizing the legacy token endpoint to shared API response helpers and explicit error coding.
impact: Improved endpoint error consistency and test coverage for token acquisition failures while preserving successful token payload passthrough.
status: completed

Summary:

• Refactored getToken.js to use respondSuccess and respondError from pages/api/middleware/apiResponse.
• Removed legacy raw res.status(...).json(...)/bare status assignment pattern and dead logging artifacts.
• Added explicit catch-path contract: TOKEN_FETCH_FAILED with 400 status.
• Added endpoint phase21 tests for:
  • success token payload passthrough
  • catch-path error contract assertion

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 11/11
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 147/147
• npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps warnings; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• Remaining outlier API handler for this consistency stream is pages/api/file/generateappealpdfcopy.js (not yet on shared response helpers).

CL-003: TASK22211 endpoint contract-hardening stream backfill (all known slices)

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/endpoint/*_api.js, pages/api/endpoint/getToken.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Backfill memory-bank traceability so the complete known TASK22211 contract-consistency stream is documented in one place now that memory-bank is being versioned.
impact: Improves governance/auditability of API contract hardening, makes rollout and rollback analysis easier, and records exactly which endpoint clusters were normalized.
status: completed

Summary:

• Backfilled all known TASK22211 slices currently on branch (in commit order):
  • b57f3de search-document endpoint contracts + phase21 coverage
  • 9af541a my-portal retrieval endpoint contracts
  • b880364 basic search endpoint contracts
  • a106dea DNS basic search endpoint contracts
  • b5a3a62 portal module + LPA case endpoint contracts
  • 4601d7c case detail endpoint contracts
  • 2959c7d delete/watched-case endpoint contracts
  • b59f13a metadata + linked-case endpoint contracts
  • bcf03a6 form + publication endpoint contracts
  • e0e91c8 DNS + representation endpoint contracts
  • 98e159d case creation + media endpoint contracts
  • 88e4586 advanced-search-paged endpoint contract
  • cb69bbe case update + CRM task endpoint contracts
  • 722ef98 hash + metadata endpoint contracts
  • 134f99c address-search endpoint contract
  • 8b6ed73 new-appeal appeal-types endpoint contract
  • eec59e8 token endpoint contract handling
• Across the stream, handlers were standardized toward respondSuccess/respondError, required-input guards, and explicit negative-path error codes while preserving success payload compatibility.
• Phase21 endpoint contract suite was expanded incrementally alongside each slice.

Validation:

• Stream validation baseline (latest known run):
  • node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass (endpoint-handler 147/147)
  • npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• Continue with remaining non-standard API outlier(s), notably pages/api/file/generateappealpdfcopy.js.
• Keep future slices logged in this file at commit-time now that memory-bank is versioned.
