feat(portal-bff): audit-stats endpoint — server-side aggregations with redis cache (#173)
## Summary

PR 1 of the tabs + full-result-charts chantier. New BFF endpoint `GET /api/admin/audit/stats` that computes the three chart aggregations server-side over the **full filtered set** (not the paginated slice the SPA currently feeds the charts with).

```
PR 1 (this one) — BFF endpoint + Redis cache + audit event + ADR-0013 amendment.
PR 2            — SPA: Tabs UX (Table / Charts) + replace the per-page computeds
                  with calls to this endpoint.
```

## What lands

### New route — `GET /api/admin/audit/stats`

```ts
GET /api/admin/audit/stats?eventType=...&audience=...&outcome=...
                          &subjectPrefix=...&createdAtFrom=...&createdAtTo=...
                          &actorIdHash=...
→ {
    dailyVolume:       [{ day: 'YYYY-MM-DD', count }],
    outcomeBreakdown:  [{ outcome, count }],
    eventTypeByDay:    [{ day, eventType, count }],
    total              // sum of dailyVolume.count, drives the donut centre
  }
```

Same filter shape as the existing `GET /api/admin/audit` minus pagination — the stats endpoint always aggregates the whole filtered set. `@RequireAdmin` gated (per [ADR-0020](docs/decisions/0020-portal-admin-app.md)). Time bound respects the filters strictly per the chantier brief: no filter → aggregates across the full audit retention (365 days per [ADR-0013](docs/decisions/0013-audit-trail-separated-postgres-append-only.md)). The Redis cache below absorbs repeated heavy queries.

### New service — [`AuditStatsReader`](apps/portal-bff/src/admin/audit-stats.service.ts)

Mirrors `AuditReader`'s posture:

- Every query inside a transaction that opens with `SET LOCAL ROLE audit_reader`. SELECT-only on `audit.events` even if the BFF's connection is otherwise privileged.
- Parameterised SQL only. Filter values flow through positional parameters, never concatenated.
- Three `GROUP BY` queries scoped by the same `WHERE` clause:
  - `date_trunc('day', created_at)::date AS day, COUNT(*) GROUP BY day`
  - `outcome::text, COUNT(*) GROUP BY outcome`
  - `date_trunc('day', created_at)::date AS day, event_type, COUNT(*) GROUP BY day, event_type`

### Redis cache — 5-minute TTL per filter-hash

- Cache key: `audit:stats:<sha256(canonical-JSON of filters), 16 hex chars>`. Sorted-keys canonicalisation so the same filters in different argument orders map to the same key.
- TTL: 300 s. Audit rows are append-only so past aggregations are stable; new events are continuously inserted, so admins see at most 5-minute-stale aggregations — acceptable for "approximate dashboard" usage, not for "did the last event just land" debugging (use the list endpoint for that).
- Cache writes are best-effort — a Redis-write failure does not fail the response. The DB read already happened; the next call rebuilds the cache.
- The cache *write* path is covered by spec; the cache-hit shortcut path is covered too (skips the DB transaction entirely).

### New audit event — `admin.audit.stats.query`

Mirrors `admin.audit.query` in posture (every admin read is auditable per ADR-0020 §"Read actions ... to deter fishing expeditions") with two differences:

- Distinct `event_type` so an auditor can spot "scanned aggregations" vs "paged through rows" — different observation signals (the stats endpoint can sweep millions of rows in one call; the list endpoint is bounded by `MAX_LIMIT=200`).
- Payload carries `total` (size of the aggregated set) instead of `resultCount` — stats responses don't paginate, the value carries more "size of scan" signal.

### Light amendment — [ADR-0013](docs/decisions/0013-audit-trail-separated-postgres-append-only.md)

Two additions:

- New **"Reader endpoints"** subsection that enumerates the two-endpoint reader surface (list + stats), documents the Redis-cache caveat, and points at the new `admin.audit.stats.query` event family.
- The "events emitted in v1" table grows four rows it was previously missing on `main`: `admin.access_denied`, `admin.audit.query`, `admin.audit.stats.query`, `admin.users.query`.

No supersession, no new ADR. The decision shape (server-side aggregation + Redis cache + new audit event family) was settled in chat via `AskUserQuestion` before the implementation started; recording it here keeps the ADR honest without spawning a full ADR-0024 for what's essentially an extension of ADR-0013's reader surface.

## Notes for the reviewer

- **Why not factor `buildWhere` into a shared helper between `AuditReader` and `AuditStatsReader`?** Considered. The two readers' shapes diverge in non-trivial ways: `AuditReader` adds `LIMIT/OFFSET` parameters appended to the same parameter array, `AuditStatsReader` runs three queries that all share the same `WHERE` (no further params). A shared helper would have to either expose both shapes or hand back the raw clauses + params for callers to assemble — at which point the abstraction earns its weight back. Two ~50 LOC copies today, extraction when a third reader lands or when the shape diverges further.
- **Why not cap the time window when no filter is provided?** Honest disclosure beats clever defaults. The list endpoint also returns "everything matching the filters" with no protective cap; the stats endpoint follows the same posture. The Redis cache absorbs the cost when the same heavy query lands repeatedly; an admin running unfiltered queries at high rate will see flat latency after the first call. If we later observe a real perf issue, a `windowDays` parameter is a smaller change than retrofitting one across the API.
- **Why a `text` cast on `outcome` in the SQL?** Prisma's Postgres enum types come back as JS strings already, but the `outcome` column carries a Postgres enum (`audit.AuditOutcome`). The explicit `::text` is defensive — `$queryRawUnsafe`'s typing isn't enum-aware, and the cast keeps the projection unambiguous regardless of the driver's row-shape inference.
- **Why does the date round-trip through `Date.toISOString().slice(0, 10)`?** `date_trunc('day', ...)::date` returns a Postgres `date` that node-postgres surfaces as a JS `Date` at UTC midnight. The default `toJSON` serialises the full ISO timestamp with the timezone offset — which is not what the chart x-axis wants. Slicing to `YYYY-MM-DD` matches the SPA's chart bucket convention exactly.
- **No mention of the `actorIdHash` audit row for the stats endpoint?** It's the same hash flow as `adminAuditQuery` — the `actor.oid` from the session goes through `HashUserIdService` per ADR-0012's salt-based pseudonymisation. The same flow is exercised by the existing `adminAuditQuery` tests; the new `adminAuditStatsQuery` method just routes to `recordEvent` with a different `eventType`.

## Test plan

- [x] `pnpm nx test portal-bff` — **414 specs pass** (was 401; +13 new: 8 `AuditStatsReader` service + 5 controller `stats` endpoint).
- [x] `pnpm nx run portal-bff:lint` — clean.
- [x] `pnpm nx build portal-bff` — clean (webpack).
- [ ] **Manual smoke** — `pnpm nx serve portal-bff`, sign in to portal-admin with `Portal.Admin`:
  - `curl http://localhost:3000/api/admin/audit/stats --cookie-jar /tmp/admin` returns the three projections.
  - Verify the `admin.audit.stats.query` row in `audit.events` after the call (`SELECT * FROM audit.events WHERE event_type = 'admin.audit.stats.query' ORDER BY occurred_at DESC LIMIT 1`).
  - Hit the endpoint twice in quick succession with the same filters → second call shows < 5 ms latency (cache hit, no DB transaction).
  - Hit it with different filters → first call hits DB, second cache, third with same filters → cache hit.
  - Stop Redis (`./infra/local/dev.sh stop redis`), hit the endpoint → still succeeds (cache miss + write swallowed), comes back live from DB.

## What's next

PR 2 — SPA Tabs UX (Table / Charts) + replace `dailyVolume() / outcomeBreakdown() / dailyByEventType()` (currently computed from `page().items`) with calls to this endpoint. The three computeds become signals filled by the HTTP call; the chart components on the Charts tab consume them unchanged.

Architectural Decision Records

This project records architecturally-significant decisions as ADRs in the MADR 4.0.0 format. References: adr.github.io.

Why ADRs

ADRs capture the why behind a decision — context, drivers, options considered, trade-offs accepted — at the moment the decision is made. They make architecture reviewable, onboarding faster, and prevent the same debate from being re-litigated later.

Conventions

  • Format: MADR 4.0.0. Start from template.md.
  • Filename: NNNN-kebab-case-title.md, e.g. 0007-adopt-tailwind-for-design-tokens.md.
  • Numbering: globally sequential 4-digit prefix. Numbers never reset, never get reused — even when an ADR is superseded or deprecated.
  • Layout: flat folder. ADRs are not nested into category subfolders; topical organization happens via tags.
  • Tags: every ADR carries a tags: array in the MADR frontmatter, drawn from the tag vocabulary below. An ADR may carry several tags. Propose new tags (or renames) in the same PR that needs them; never invent ad-hoc tags inline.
  • Status lifecycle: proposedaccepted → optionally deprecated or superseded by [ADR-NNNN](NNNN-other.md). Update the YAML frontmatter; never delete an ADR.
  • Index maintenance: every ADR addition or status change must update the Index below in the same commit.

When to write an ADR

Write one whenever a development decision is non-trivial: tool or library choice, framework pattern, security control, perf budget, a11y target, naming convention, deprecation, breaking change, or any choice that future contributors would benefit from understanding the why of.

Tag vocabulary

The vocabulary below is the source of truth. It is intentionally coarse — propose extensions only when an existing tag genuinely doesn't fit, and avoid overly narrow tags.

Tag Scope
frontend UI, Angular, components, design system, client-side state
backend API, BFF, server-side services
security AuthN, AuthZ, sessions, CSP, dependency scanning, secret management
performance Perf budgets, caching, bundle size, Lighthouse
accessibility WCAG, a11y testing, keyboard, ARIA, contrast
infrastructure CI/CD, hosting, deployment, runtime
observability Logs, metrics, traces, correlation IDs, monitoring
data Persistence, schemas, migrations, data flow
process Team conventions, workflows, repo policy

Status: starter vocabulary, to be refined as ADRs accumulate. Update this table whenever a tag is added, renamed, or retired.

Index

ADRs are listed in numerical order. To slice by topic, filter on the Tags column.
