### P-001: Thin Pages, Reusable Logic Elsewhere
date: 2026-03-11
author: Cline
scope: `pages/`, `components/`, `lib/`, `actions/`
type: pattern
rationale: Improve maintainability and reduce route-level complexity.
impact: Better testability and safer incremental changes.
status: accepted
Pattern:
Keep route pages focused on composition and orchestration; place reusable behavior in `lib/`, `components/`, or `actions/`.
When to use:
- New features in existing routes
- Refactors reducing duplication across pages/components
Example paths:
- `pages/newappeal/**`
- `components/newappeal/**`
- `actions/index.js`
### P-002: EN/CY Parity for User-Facing Changes
date: 2026-03-11
author: Cline
scope: `locales/`, `i18n.js`, `next.config.js`, user-facing pages
type: pattern
rationale: Service requires bilingual consistency and reliable route behavior.
impact: Prevents locale divergence and citizen confusion.
status: accepted
Pattern:
Any user-facing change should include EN and CY text/route validation as part of done checks.
When to use:
- New/changed labels, messages, headings
- New/changed route aliases or rewrites
Example paths:
- `locales/en/**`, `locales/cy/**`
- `next.config.js`, `i18n.js`
### P-003: Shared Relay Policy via Middleware (No Endpoint Drift)
date: 2026-03-24
author: Cline
scope: `pages/api/middleware/relayForwarding.js`, `pages/api/endpoint/*_api.js` relay GET handlers
type: pattern
rationale: Keep reliability and logging policy centralized so endpoint handlers remain thin and behavior stays consistent as relay surface evolves.
impact: Reduces duplication/drift in timeout/retry/error behavior and supports safer incremental endpoint migration/hardening.
status: accepted
Pattern:
Implement retry/timeout/redacted structured logging in shared relay middleware and keep endpoint handlers focused on validation, transform, and route-level response contracts.
When to use:
- Any new or migrated relay-backed endpoint
- Any relay reliability/logging policy update
Example paths:
- `pages/api/middleware/relayForwarding.js`
- `pages/api/endpoint/getadvancedsearch_api.js`
- `pages/api/endpoint/getdnscoords_api.js`
- `tests/phase21/relay-forwarding-hardening.test.cjs`
### P-004: Relay Policy Change Bundle (Governance + Smoke + Rollback)
date: 2026-03-24
author: Cline
scope: relay policy changes + rollout documentation
type: pattern
rationale: Relay reliability changes can alter runtime behavior without changing endpoint contracts; bundle process controls and operational checks together to reduce regression risk.
impact: Improves release confidence and standardizes operational readiness for relay policy updates.
status: accepted
Pattern:
For relay timeout/retry/logging policy updates, ship one documentation bundle that includes governance checklist, non-prod smoke matrix, monitoring checks, and rollback instructions.
When to use:
- Any change to retry classification, timeout defaults/bounds, or relay logging behavior
- Any change to relay environment tuning guidance
Example paths:
- `context/runbook.md`
- `memory-bank/change-log.md`
- `memory-bank/decisions.md`
