## Summary Lays down the append-only audit log per ADR-0013: schema declaration, first migration with role grants, NestJS `AuditWriter` service. Typed event-family methods, the separate `AUDIT_DATABASE_URL` pool, the retention job, and the live-DB integration tests are explicitly listed as "wired as features land" in the ADR's confirmation block — they ship when the matching feature ADRs do. ## What lands **Prisma schema** ([`apps/portal-bff/prisma/schema.prisma`](apps/portal-bff/prisma/schema.prisma)): - `multiSchema` preview enabled; datasource declares `public` + `audit` schemas. - `AuditEvent` model: `id` (uuid), `createdAt`, `eventType` (free-form in v1), `audience` enum (`workforce | customer`), `actorIdHash`, `traceId`, `subject`, `outcome` enum (`success | failure | denied`), `payload` (jsonb). - Indexes on `createdAt`, `eventType`, `traceId` — covering the three obvious query shapes. **Migration** ([`prisma/migrations/*_init_audit_schema/migration.sql`](apps/portal-bff/prisma/migrations/20260510011453_init_audit_schema/migration.sql)): - Standard Prisma `CREATE TABLE` / enums output, then the **append-only contract** re-applied explicitly: - `ALTER TABLE/TYPE OWNER TO audit_owner`. - `GRANT INSERT` to `audit_writer`, `SELECT` to `audit_reader`, **`SELECT, DELETE`** to `audit_archiver` (SELECT is needed to evaluate the `created_at` predicate of "delete older than retention" — Postgres requires SELECT on every column referenced in DELETE's WHERE). - `GRANT USAGE` on the enum types to all three roles (without it `audit_writer.INSERT` fails with "permission denied for type"). - **No** GRANT for `UPDATE` / `TRUNCATE` to anyone — including `audit_owner` at runtime; only fresh schema migrations amend the table. **Service** ([`apps/portal-bff/src/audit/`](apps/portal-bff/src/audit/)): - `AuditWriter.recordEvent(input)` — single entry point. Wraps every INSERT in a transaction whose first statement is `SET LOCAL ROLE audit_writer`, so the role contract holds at runtime even from the otherwise-privileged BFF connection. - `traceId` auto-resolved from the active OTel span (so audit row joins with traces and Pino logs on the same `trace_id`). - `actorIdHash` auto-resolved from CLS (key `actorIdHash`) with explicit input-side override; `null` when neither is set (placeholder until ADR-0009 / ADR-0010 guards populate CLS). - Errors propagate (no catch-and-swallow), per ADR-0013's "blocking writes: no audit ⇒ no action". **Tests** — 8 unit tests on `AuditWriter` (mocked Prisma + CLS): role-locking ordering, input pass-through, `Prisma.JsonNull` for missing payload, CLS-vs-input precedence on `actorIdHash`, OTel trace capture, error propagation. ## End-to-end verification (manual, against local-dev Postgres) ``` INSERT under audit_writer: ok UPDATE under audit_writer: permission denied for table events DELETE under audit_writer: permission denied for table events DELETE under audit_archiver: ok, row removed (after the SELECT-grant fix) ``` ## ADR-0013 §Confirmation rewritten Two-block split: "wired in foundation PR" lists what landed here; "wired as features land" lists the typed event-family methods, AUDIT_DATABASE_URL connection split, startup self-test probe, retention purge job, salt-shared cross-correlation test, and live-DB role-contract integration tests — each anchored to the feature ADR that triggers it. ## Recovery for anyone with a pre-existing local-dev DB If your local-dev Postgres already had the audit migration applied **before** the SELECT-grant fix, the archiver's DELETE will fail. Two options: 1. Apply the missing grant directly: ```bash psql "$DATABASE_URL" -c "GRANT SELECT ON audit.events TO audit_archiver;" ``` 2. Or wipe the volume and re-migrate cleanly: ```bash ./infra/local/dev.sh down -v ./infra/local/dev.sh up pnpm --filter @apf-portal/source exec prisma migrate deploy # or `cd apps/portal-bff && pnpm exec prisma migrate deploy` ``` Fresh DBs land with the corrected migration directly. ## Out of scope (separate PRs) - Typed event-family methods (`signIn`, `signInFailed`, …) — added per matching feature ADR. - `AUDIT_DATABASE_URL` separate connection pool — defense-in-depth, when production needs it. - Startup self-test probe (deliberate failing UPDATE asserting rejection) — lands with the connection split. - Retention purge job (`audit_archiver` daily cron) — phase-3b infra. - Live-DB integration tests asserting the role contract — Testcontainers-style harness, separate PR. ## Test plan - [ ] CI green on this PR. - [ ] `prisma migrate deploy` succeeds on a fresh DB (the recovery instructions cover the SELECT-grant gap for already-migrated dev DBs). - [ ] `psql -c "\dp audit.events"` shows the expected privilege matrix: `audit_owner=arwdDxtm/audit_owner`, `audit_writer=a/audit_owner`, `audit_reader=r/audit_owner`, `audit_archiver=rd/audit_owner`. - [ ] BFF boots; calling `AuditWriter.recordEvent` from a controller (manual smoke once a real flow lands) writes to `audit.events` with the expected `trace_id` matching the request's Jaeger span. --------- Co-authored-by: Julien Gautier <julien.gautier@apf.asso.fr> Reviewed-on: #76
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:
proposed→accepted→ optionallydeprecatedorsuperseded 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.
