# M3 — task breakdown

Role: breakdown. Ordered task list for v0.5 / M3. Cites requirement IDs; defines none.

Objectives: `roadmap.md` in this folder. Behavior and acceptance: `docs/capabilities/CREATE.md`.
Scope and IDs: `docs/MILESTONES.md`. Decisions live in `docs/contracts/`, not here.

TDD every slice: the failing test precedes its implementation; never parallelize RED and GREEN of
the same scenario.

| Slice | Delivers | M3 IDs |
|---|---|---|
| S0 | factory, config/startup guards, health/meta, JSON logs, Dockerfile | APP-30, APP-45, APP-55, APP-65, SETTINGS-10, SETTINGS-25, OPS-25 |
| S1 | AES-GCM crypto + Settings (masked, write-only secrets) | SETTINGS-5/15/20/25/30/35/75/85/90, QUALITY-125 |
| S2 | slabs CRUD, optimistic concurrency, soft delete | APP-5/15/20/35/40, REVIEW-45 |
| S3 | photos (multipart → BLOBs, original/processed, 410 after purge) | CAPTURE-95/105/130, PUBLISH-40 |
| S4 | Woo client (application-password Basic) + taxonomy sync + test-woo | METADATA-5/10/15/20/30, SETTINGS-40/50/51/55/60/80, QUALITY-35 |
| S5 | pricing, deterministic templates, server-derived ready | REVIEW-5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/50, METADATA-70/80/85/90, QUALITY-90/95 |
| S6 | publish (sequence, UAT draft, duplicate/stale/partial failure) | PUBLISH-5/10/15/20/25/30/31/35/36/37/38/40/45/50/55/60 |
| S7 | inference last (Call 1 / Call 2, prompt revisions, template fallback) | METADATA-35/40/45/50/55/60/65/66/75/95/100/105/110/115, SETTINGS-45/70 |
| Cross | frontend API client; Review / Settings / Publish screens | UI for the slices above |
| Exit | inference-off suite, Woo-mock integration, Compose UI E2E, real UAT draft | QUALITY-20/35/50/105/110/120 |

## Frontend layout

New code stays outside the Capture union: `frontend/src/api/*`, `frontend/src/create/*`.

## Verification

Slice bar: `docs/contracts/TEST-SPEC.md`. Docs gate: `python tools/check_requirements.py`.
Exit bar: `docs/MILESTONES.md` and `docs/capabilities/CREATE.md`.

## Not yet validated

- Long-horizon multi-step agentic loops (more than one or two tool round-trips).
- M3 implementation has not started.
