 # Learnings
 
-Generalized lessons applicable to all sessions. Session-specific incidents are stripped; the patterns remain.
+Durable rules worth keeping across sessions.
 
----
+## Process
 
-## Process: Trust-But-Verify
+- Re-read files after edits, subagent work, or context compaction. The file on disk is the source of truth.
+- For behavior changes, get a real red test before implementation.
+- Don’t bundle unrelated fixes in the same branch or conversation.
 
-**Never trust间接 evidence of work.** Commit messages lie. Subagent summaries describe intent, not result. Test passes don't prove the change was exercised.
+## Firestore
 
-- After any subagent dispatch or context compaction, re-read actual files before assuming progress
-- For new behavior: write failing test, observe red, then implement
-- Run tests and read ALL output — don't assume they passed correctly
+- In admin transactions, all reads must happen before the first write.
+- When optional data controls writes, fetch it up front instead of reading later in the transaction.
+- Prefer stable Firestore error codes over matching error messages.
 
----
+## Security
 
-## Security: Access Control Filters
+- If missing auth or scope should deny access, fail explicitly; don’t use permissive fallbacks.
+- When normalizing fields, update both read and write paths.
+- In Firestore Rules, verify function signatures match call sites; unused parameters are a smell.
 
-**For filters where absence of value means "deny", never use a fallback that produces a permissive query.** Always guard with explicit error or early return.
+## Testing
 
-```typescript
-// WRONG — silent exposure
-const municipality = user.municipality ?? 'none' // queries with impossible value
+- `vi.hoisted()` mocks must be created inside the hoisted callback.
+- `requestAnimationFrame` in Vitest is safer with an explicit captured callback than with timer assumptions.
+- Firebase integration tests often need module-level mocks for Firestore/Auth setup.
+- A passing test is not enough; confirm it actually exercises the changed path.
 
-// CORRECT — explicit deny
-if (!user.municipality) {
-  setAuthError('AUTH_EXPIRED')
-  return
-}
-```
+## React
 
----
+- Render-body ref assignment can trigger loops; move ref syncing into `useEffect` when needed.
+- `useRef(initial)` does not track later state changes; sync refs explicitly if they must stay current.
+- Critical external data should be fetched internally or required as a prop, not left optional.
 
-## Security: Schema Normalization
+## TypeScript
 
-**When normalizing a field, update BOTH read and write paths.** A query that reads `status` returns zero documents if `updateStatus` only writes `responderStatus`.
+- Use `catch (err: unknown)` and narrow explicitly.
+- Avoid `any`; prefer real types or `unknown`.
 
-- Reads use normalized fields
-- Writes are dual-field for migration compatibility
+## Misc
 
----
-
-## Error Handling: Firestore Errors
-
-**Firestore errors have stable `err.code` strings** (`permission-denied`, `deadline-exceeded`, `already-exists`). String-matching `err.message` breaks when messages change or localize. Always check `err.code` first.
-
-**In disaster systems, silent failures are deadly.** Every failure mode must surface to user or log with structured error ID.
-
----
-
-## React: useEffect Deps and Infinite Loops
-
-**Render-body ref assignments can create infinite loops; useEffect assignments break the chain.**
-
-- Putting `syncFnRef.current = syncQueue` in the render body fires synchronously before effects
-- Moving it to `useEffect(() => { syncFnRef.current = syncQueue }, [syncQueue])` fires after render — guard (`syncInProgressRef`) is already set when the callback runs
-
-**Rule:** When adding deps to a `useCallback` that is itself a dep of a `useEffect`, check if the render-body assignment pattern creates a loop. Move ref assignments to effects.
-
----
-
-## React: Ref + State Synchronization
-
-`useRef(initialState)` initializes once; `ref.current` never updates when initialState changes. To keep them in sync:
-
-```typescript
-// WRONG — stale ref
-const latestAlertsRef = useRef(alerts) // captures initial state only
-
-// CORRECT — separate effect syncs them
-const latestAlertsRef = useRef(alerts)
-useEffect(() => {
-  latestAlertsRef.current = alerts
-}, [alerts])
-```
-
----
-
-## React: Prop vs Internal State for Critical Data
-
-**When a component depends on external data (geolocation, auth), either fetch it internally or make it a required prop.** Optional props for critical data = silent failure.
-
-```typescript
-// Fetch internally — resilient
-const geo = useGeolocation()
-const resolved = userLocation ?? geo.coordinates ?? undefined
-
-// OR require it — explicit, caught at compile time
-interface Props {
-  userLocation: Coordinates
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Testing: vi.hoisted for Mock Factories
-
-`vi.hoisted()` runs before module-level declarations. All mock functions must be defined INSIDE the callback:
-
-```typescript
-// WRONG — ReferenceError
-const mock = vi.fn()
-vi.hoisted(() => ({ mock })) // mock not yet declared
-
-// CORRECT
-const { mockFn } = vi.hoisted(() => ({
-  mockFn: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue([]),
-}))
-vi.mock('../../service', () => ({ service: { fn: mockFn } }))
-```
-
----
-
-## Testing: requestAnimationFrame in Vitest
-
-`vi.useFakeTimers()` does not reliably auto-spy RAF in jsdom. Capture the callback reference and invoke it directly:
-
-```typescript
-const savedRAF = vi.hoisted(() => ({
-  current: null as ((cb: FrameRequestCallback) => number) | null,
-}))
-vi.stubGlobal('requestAnimationFrame', (cb) => {
-  savedRAF.current = cb
-  return ++id
-})
-// In test:
-if (savedRAF.current) savedRAF.current(performance.now())
-```
-
----
-
-## Testing: Firebase Mocks for Integration Tests
-
-When a component uses Firestore contexts, mocks are needed at module level:
-
-```typescript
-vi.mock('@/app/firebase/config', () => ({ db: {}, auth: {} }))
-vi.mock('firebase/firestore', () => ({
-  getFirestore: vi.fn(),
-  collection: vi.fn(),
-  query: vi.fn(),
-  where: vi.fn(),
-  onSnapshot: vi.fn(),
-  getDocs: vi.fn(),
-}))
-vi.mock('firebase/auth', () => ({
-  getAuth: vi.fn(),
-  onAuthStateChanged: vi.fn((cb) => {
-    cb(null)
-    return vi.fn()
-  }),
-}))
-```
-
----
-
-## Firestore Rules: Function Arguments
-
-**In Firestore Rules DSL, function parameters are silently discarded if unused.** `isResponderOwner(opsId)` compiles fine — `opsId` is ignored. This is a security code smell: always match call sites to actual function signatures.
-
----
-
-## Code: Catch Parameters
-
-Always use `catch (err: unknown)` in TypeScript strict mode. The `unknown` type forces you to narrow before using.
-
-```typescript
-// WRONG
-catch (err) // implicitly any in non-strict, silent in strict
-
-// CORRECT
-catch (err: unknown) {
-  if (err instanceof Error) console.error(err.message)
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Code: Navigator Clipboard in Vitest
-
-`navigator.clipboard` is an inherited getter in happy-dom — not an own property. Spying requires defining it as an own property:
-
-```typescript
-// In beforeEach — create mock with own clipboard property
-const mockNav = Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(navigator))
-Object.assign(mockNav, navigator)
-mockNav.clipboard = { writeText: vi.fn() }
-global.navigator = mockNav
-
-// In test — direct assignment also works
-;(navigator as any).clipboard = { writeText: mockWriteText }
-```
-
-`navigator.share` IS an own property — direct `vi.fn()` spy works reliably.
-
----
-
-## General: One Concern Per Branch
-
-- One concern per conversation, one per branch, one per PR
-- Feature freezes for structural changes (folder restructures, schema migrations, rule changes)
-- Never bundle unrelated fixes "since we're here"
-
-## General: Risky Changes Require Overnight Soak
-
-Firestore rules, DB indexes, Cloud Function deploys, and auth flow changes have blast radius too large for same-session deploy. Minimum: dev emulator → staging overnight → explicit prod approval.
-
-Always include rollback command in PR description before deploying.

-No headers, sections, or insights blocks when a sentence suffices.

----
-
-## Phase 0 Final Verification (2026-04-17)
-
-### Vitest Workspace Path Resolution
-
-## CI: Prefer Corepack When action-setup v6 Is Suspect
-
-If GitHub Actions reports `ERR_PNPM_BROKEN_LOCKFILE` against a lockfile that is structurally clean locally and in git, do not keep iterating on `pnpm/action-setup` flags blindly.
-
-- Compare the failing runner path against a local control case with the same Node and pnpm versions
-- If `corepack prepare pnpm@<version> --activate` succeeds locally while `pnpm/action-setup@v6` fails in CI, treat the action path as the unstable variable
-- Removing `cache: pnpm` from `actions/setup-node` is acceptable when pnpm is installed after `setup-node`; correctness beats cache optimization
-
-**Problem:** Root `vitest.config.ts` used `defineWorkspace(['packages/*', 'apps/*'])`. When individual packages (e.g., `shared-data`) ran `vitest run --passWithNoTests` from their own directory, vitest walked up and found the root config. The workspace entries (`packages/shared-data`, etc.) were resolved relative to the CWD, not the config file's directory. Since `shared-data` has no `vitest.config.ts`, vitest tried to load `packages/shared-data/vitest.config.ts` (wrong path) and errored with "config must export or return an object."
-
-**Fix:** Two-part:
-
-1. Renamed `vitest.config.ts` → `vitest.workspace.ts` (vitest does not auto-discover `vitest.workspace.ts`)
-2. Removed `test` scripts from all packages/apps that have no test files; kept only `packages/shared-validators` (the only package with tests) in the workspace
-3. Changed root `pnpm test` to `vitest run` (auto-discovers `vitest.workspace.ts` from root) instead of `turbo run test`
-
-**Rule:** When using vitest workspace configs, workspace entries must be resolvable from every CWD that might run vitest. Prefer explicit package paths over glob patterns, and remove test scripts from packages that don't have tests.
-
-### Prettier: Do Not Copy Unformatted Files
-
-**Problem:** `.claude/rules/*.md`, `docs/roles/*.md`, `prd/*.md`, and `docs/superpowers/specs/*.md` were copied from the original project into the new branch without running Prettier. When `format:check` was added to the CI pipeline (new in this branch), all 14 files failed.
-
-**Fix:** Run `pnpm prettier --write` on all docs files before committing when adding a format-check pipeline to a project that previously did not enforce formatting.
-
-**Rule:** When introducing `format:check` to a project, Prettier-format all existing docs files in the same commit so the new gate does not immediately fail on pre-existing content.
-
-### Vitest: `vitest.workspace.ts` vs `vitest.config.ts`
-
-Vitest auto-discovers `vitest.config.ts` but NOT `vitest.workspace.ts`. Use `vitest.workspace.ts` when you want to define a workspace at the root but do NOT want individual packages to auto-pick it up (unless explicitly targeted). This is the correct pattern for monorepos where most packages do not have tests.
-
-### Terraform: `google_project_iam_member` vs `google_service_account_iam_member`
-
-When a service account needs to impersonate another SA, always use `google_service_account_iam_member` scoped to the _specific_ target SA — not `google_project_iam_member` at project level. Project-level `roles/iam.serviceAccountUser` grants impersonation of _every_ SA in the project, violating least privilege. The `google_service_account_iam_member` resource requires `service_account_id = google_service_account.target.name` (not email) and grants impersonation rights on that specific SA only.
-
----
-
-## Phase 3a: Citizen Submission (2026-04-18)
-
-### Idempotency Guard: Distinguish Fresh vs Cached
-
-`withIdempotency` must return a flag distinguishing fresh execution from cached replay. The outer-check pattern (set `processedAt` inside callback, then check it outside) fails because fresh materializations always have `processedAt` defined after the callback returns — it was just set. The correct approach:
-
-```typescript
-// WRONG — fresh materializations always have processedAt defined
-const result = await withIdempotency(...)
-if (result.materialized && (await inboxRef.get()).data()?.processedAt !== undefined) {
-  return { ...result, replayed: true }
-}
-
-// CORRECT — guard returns metadata about cache hit
-const { result, fromCache } = await withIdempotency(...)
-return { materialized: result.materialized, replayed: fromCache, reportId: result.reportId }
-```
-
-### Firebase Functions v2: Cloud Run resource type
-
-Functions v2 emit under `resource.type="cloud_run_revision"`, not `cloud_function`. Terraform logging metric filters must include both. Also add `jsonPayload.code:*` to filter to structured logs only.
-
-### Error Code Exhaustiveness
-
-`Record<string, FunctionsErrorCode>` with `?? 'internal'` silently maps unmapped codes. Use `Record<BantayogErrorCode, FunctionsErrorCode>` — TypeScript enforces coverage of all enum values at compile time.
-
-### Storage Trigger Error Handling
-
-Firebase Storage triggers only retry when handlers throw. Catching all errors and returning normally marks the event as complete — transient failures (network, sharp) will NOT retry. Only suppress explicitly terminal rejections (`MEDIA_REJECTED_MIME`, `MEDIA_REJECTED_CORRUPT`); rethrow operational failures.
-
-### pnpm Workspace: Explicit Dependencies Don't Auto-Resolve
-
-If a package imports a subpath of a workspace dep (`firebase/functions` from `firebase-admin`), the workspace `*` link does not automatically cover transitive subpaths. Always add explicit `firebase@^12.x.x` when importing subpackages directly.
-
----
-
-## Phase 2: Data Model and Security Rules
-
-### Firestore rules: `resource.data.__reportId` does not exist
-
-Firestore rules do not expose a synthetic `__reportId` on `resource.data`. Cross-document sharing checks (e.g., `canReadReportDoc` helper used for report subcollections) must be implemented per-collection using the document ID from the path, not a hypothetical field on `resource.data`. The helper `canReadReportDoc(data)` was kept narrow; sharing logic lives at each collection's `match` block.
-
-### Rule coverage checker regex must match at path segment boundaries
-
-The regex `['"\`]<collection>[/'\`"]`must only match`match /<collection>/`at the start of a path segment. If the collection name appears as a substring inside another path (e.g.,`hazard_zones_history`containing`hazard_zones`), the checker produces false negatives. Use `match\s+/` prefix in the regex.
-
-### Subagent commit reports are unreliable — always verify with git log
-
-Subagent implementers sometimes report commits that don't exist in the actual git history (due to hook failures, revert operations, or self-review issues). Always run `git log --oneline -3` to confirm the actual commit state before proceeding to review. The file on disk is the only source of truth.
-
-### Firebase RTDB `.validate` rules require all children at once
-
-A `.validate` rule like `newData.hasChildren([...])` only checks that those keys exist — not their types or values. It does not cascade to nested validation. For required field validation, the rule checks presence only; type validation must be done in Cloud Functions or security rules with explicit field-by-field checks.
-
-### RTDB and Storage emulators need explicit initialization in test harness
-
-The `initializeTestEnvironment` from `@firebase/rules-unit-testing` accepts an options object with `firestore`, `database`, and `storage` entries. When testing only one emulator (e.g., RTDB), you can omit storage — but if `createTestEnv` is called with all three emulators configured and only one is running, tests hang. Use `initializeTestEnvironment` directly with only the emulators you need for the test file.
-
-### Every `strict()` Zod object rejects unknown keys — critical for rule alignment
-
-Firestore `diff(resource.data).affectedKeys().hasOnly([...])` at the rule layer rejects any unknown key the same way a strict Zod schema does. If the Zod schema allows extra keys but the rules don't, production writes will be denied. Always use `.strict()` on Zod schemas that map to Firestore documents.
-
-### `allow write: if false` at collection level overrides subcollection rules
-
-When a parent collection has `allow write: if false` and a nested subcollection is defined after it, the subcollection inherits the parent rule unless explicitly overridden. To give a subcollection write access while keeping the parent deny-all, define both explicitly. Note: this inheritance is per-Firestore-rule-file structure, not a general Firestore behavior.
-
-### Rules codegen eliminates a whole class of drift bugs
-
-Hand-rolled `validResponderTransition` helpers in Firestore rules drift from the TypeScript source of truth. The codegen pipeline (`scripts/build-rules.ts` + template with `@@TRANSITION_TABLES@@` marker) guarantees the rules file matches `shared-validators/src/state-machines/`. CI drift-check gate (`git diff --exit-code` after codegen) catches any local edit to the generated file. This pattern should extend to any future transition tables or validation helpers that exist in both TypeScript and rules layers.
-
-### Dependency injection in client-side orchestrators enables clean unit testing
-
-The `submitReport` orchestrator in `apps/citizen-pwa/src/services/submit-report.ts` accepts a `SubmitReportDeps` interface instead of importing Firebase directly. This allowed 2 focused unit tests with `vi.fn()` mocks — zero Firebase SDK involvement in the test. When the orchestrator needs to coordinate multiple async steps (get signed URL, PUT blob, write inbox), the DI pattern avoids the "20-line mock setup" smell entirely.

-## QA Edge Hunter Session (2026-04-18)
-
-### Subagent commits can land on wrong branch
-
-A subagent reported committing to `fix/qa-edge-hunter-fixes-2026-04-18` but `git log` showed the commit was on `main`. Root cause: the worktree's HEAD was detached (the worktree creation didn't checkout the branch immediately, it was created with `-b` but the branch was not yet created when the subagent ran `git commit`). The subagent's `git commit` landed on `main` because that's what the worktree considered its HEAD.
-
-**Fix:** After creating a worktree with `git worktree add .worktrees/X -b feature/X`, immediately checkout the new branch explicitly. Rebase the worktree onto `main` if the branch commits are elsewhere.
-
-**Rule:** Always run `git log --oneline -3 && git status` after a subagent reports a commit to verify the commit landed on the correct branch.
-
-### Pre-commit hook auto-revert on lint failure
-
-When lint-staged runs eslint and finds errors, it:
-
-1. Fails the pre-commit hook
-2. Auto-reverts staged changes
-3. Leaves working tree with the pre-lint (unlinted) state
-
-To recover: fix the lint error, stage again, and commit.
-
-### `git diff HEAD` vs `git diff main` matters
-
-The worktree showed `git diff functions/src/triggers/on-media-finalize.ts` as clean (no changes) because the file on disk matched the latest commit on the worktree's branch. But `git diff main -- functions/src/triggers/on-media-finalize.ts` showed the fix. Always diff against the right baseline when verifying worktree state.
-
-### Zod `.refine()` with `||` triggers `prefer-nullish-coalescing` lint
-
-When a Zod `.refine()` uses `||` in its predicate (e.g., `(d.supersededBy && d.supersededAt) || (!d.supersededBy && !d.supersededAt)`), ESLint's `@typescript-eslint/prefer-nullish-coalescing` rule fires because `!!d.supersededBy` is truthy but not specifically nullish. The fix is to use explicit `!== undefined` comparisons to avoid the rule triggering on the logical-or expression.
-
-### Worktree rebase can land commits out-of-order
-
-Commit `6546a0e` ("fix validators: cap pendingMediaIds at 20") was made by a subagent and appeared in `git log` but wasn't in the worktree's HEAD. It was on `main`. After `git rebase main`, it appeared at the correct position in history. Always rebase worktrees onto main before starting implementation to avoid this confusion.
-
-### `seedReportAtStatus` uses Firebase Admin Timestamp, incompatible with RulesTestContext
-
-`seedReportAtStatus` (seed-factories.ts) uses `firebase-admin/firestore` `Timestamp.now()` which is incompatible with RulesTestEnvironment's `withSecurityRulesDisabled` context (uses JS SDK). Error: `FirebaseError: Function DocumentReference.set() called with invalid data. Unsupported field value: a custom Timestamp object`. Fix: write inline seeding with numeric `ts` timestamps (like other rules tests) instead of calling `seedReportAtStatus`.
-
-### ESLint `no-explicit-any` requires combined disable comment for multiple rules on same line
-
-When accessing `self` as `any` for Firebase App Check debug token (`self as any).FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN`), ESLint fires both `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` AND `@typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access`. Two separate `// eslint-disable-next-line` comments don't work — the second one is consumed by the same tool call. Solution: use a single combined comment: `// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any, @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access`.
-
-### `no-floating-promises` requires `void` prefix on all Promise-returning functions passed as event handlers
-
-ESLint's `no-floating-promises` (from `typescript-eslint/strict-type-checked`) treats any Promise-returning function passed to an event handler (like `onClick`, `onSubmit`) as a violation. The fix is to wrap the call: `void handleSignIn(email, password)` instead of just `handleSignIn(email, password)`.
-
-### `no-confusing-void-expression` fires on arrow function shorthand with void-returning callback
-
-When an event handler like `onClick` calls a void-returning function with arrow shorthand `() => setBanner(msg)`, ESLint's `no-confusing-void-expression` fires because the callback itself doesn't return void explicitly. The fix is to use block body: `onClick={() => { setBanner(msg) }}`.
-
-### `React.FormEvent` deprecated — use inline `// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated`
-
-The `@typescript-eslint/no-deprecated` rule flags `React.FormEvent`. Since React's own type definition marks it deprecated, and there's no clean replacement that works across all React versions, the correct approach is to add an inline disable comment on the specific line: `// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated`.

-## Phase 3c: E2E SSL Debugging (2026-04-19)
-
-### `staging.bantayog.web.app` is not a Firebase Hosting domain
-
-Firebase Hosting sites get URLs in the format `<site-id>.web.app`. The project `bantayog-alert-staging` has one site: `bantayog-alert-staging.web.app`. The domain `staging.bantayog.web.app` resolves to the same Firebase CDN IP but the SSL certificate is for `CN=firebaseapp.com` — it does not include this hostname as a SAN, causing `ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID`.
-
-**Rule:** Never assume a Firebase Hosting URL format. Always verify with `firebase hosting:sites:list` and `firebase hosting:channel:list`. Custom domains must be explicitly configured in Firebase Hosting.
-
-### E2E test BASE_URL must match webServer config
-
-When `playwright.config.ts` defines `webServer` entries for local dev servers (e.g., admin on port 5175), the corresponding spec files must default to the same localhost URL, not a staging URL. Otherwise tests fail with SSL errors when run locally even though the dev server is running.
-
-**Rule:** Spec file `BASE_URL` defaults should match the `webServer` ports in `playwright.config.ts`. Override with `process.env.BASE_URL` only for staging/CI runs.
-
-### Rate limit must be charged only on first execution, not idempotent replays
-
-When a callable uses both rate limiting and idempotency, the rate limit check must happen INSIDE the idempotency callback — after the cache miss path is confirmed. Otherwise, a legitimate client retry with the same idempotency key burns rate limit budget and can get `RATE_LIMITED` instead of the cached success response.
-
-**Rule:** Always place rate limit checks inside the `withIdempotency` callback, never before it.
-
-### Schema narrowing must propagate through the type chain
-
-When a Zod schema is narrowed (e.g., `advanceDispatchRequestSchema.to` from full `DispatchStatus` to a subset), all consumers of the inferred type must be updated. The typecheck won't flag the schema itself — it flags the call sites that pass wider types. Check all downstream consumers before narrowing a shared schema.
-
-**Rule:** After narrowing a shared validator schema, run `pnpm typecheck` immediately and fix all downstream call sites.
-
-### Firestore rules test doc structure must match actual schema
-
-If Firestore rules reference `resource.data.assignedTo.uid`, the test seed data must use `{ assignedTo: { uid: 'resp-1' } }`, not a flat `{ responderUid: 'resp-1' }`. Tests with wrong structure pass `assertFails` for the wrong reason (missing field → permission denied) and give false confidence.
-
-**Rule:** Before writing rules tests, read the actual Firestore rules to confirm which fields are checked. Cross-reference with the production document schema.
-
-### Placeholder e2e tests must use `test.skip()`, not empty bodies
-
-In Playwright (and Vitest), `test('name', async () => { /* comment */ })` passes green. This inflates coverage metrics. Use `test.skip()` or `test.fixme()` to make the intent explicit in CI reports.
-
-**Rule:** Every placeholder test must be `test.skip()` or `test.fixme()`. Never leave an empty test body.
+- `navigator.clipboard` in happy-dom often needs to be defined as an own property before spying.
+- Risky backend changes need emulator verification first and should not go to prod in the same session.

-## Phase 1 Infrastructure and Identity Spine (In Progress)
-

-### Notes
-
-- **Step 1:** `apps/citizen-pwa/src/App.test.tsx` fails with `ReferenceError: expect is not defined` — the `@testing-library/jest-dom` import path is for Jest, not Vitest. The correct import in Vitest is `@testing-library/jest-dom/vitest`. This is a pre-existing setup issue in the Phase 1 shell.
-- **Step 2:** Phase 1 auth tests (4 tests) pass in `functions/src/__tests__/phase1-auth.test.ts`.
-- **Step 3:** Rules tests require Firebase emulator (`initializeTestEnvironment` requires emulator connection). Not available in local environment.
-- **Step 4:** 14 lint tasks, 14 typecheck tasks, and 10 build tasks all pass.
-- **Remediation:** Re-run full test suite until all pass; run Firestore rules tests against local emulator; obtain explicit staging approval before any prod deployment. For changes touching rules/auth/functions, deploy to dev emulator first, run full suite, and get staging sign-off.
-
-### What was built
-
-- Identity spine: `User` + `ResponderUser` documents, Firestore rules, claim issuance and revocation Cloud Functions
-- Phase 1 auth test coverage (`src/__tests__/phase1-auth.test.ts`)
-- Phase 1 Firestore rules test coverage (`src/__tests__/firestore.rules.test.ts`)
-- Bootstrap script for Phase 1 data (`scripts/bootstrap-phase1.ts`)

-### Typecheck fixes (pre-existing)
-
-- `RulesTestEnvironment` import changed to type-only import (verbatimModuleSyntax)
-- `staffClaims('role', 'muni')` → `staffClaims({ role: '...', municipalityId: '...' })` across 4 callable test files
-- `cancel-dispatch.ts` exactOptionalPropertyTypes: used spread with conditional key inclusion
-- `admin-onsnapshot.rules.test.ts` seedReport parameter: changed `db: Firestore` to `db: any`
-
-### Ready to Proceed: Phase 3c Implementation
-
-The Phase 3c implementation plan is ready (33 tasks, 20-40 hours). All state machine blockers have been resolved:
-
-- ✅ Dispatch states updated (10 states: pending → accepted → acknowledged → en_route → on_scene → resolved)
-- ✅ State machine transitions validated (21 transitions)
-- ✅ Firestore rules regenerated
-- ✅ All 127 tests passing with new state machine
-- ✅ ES module build issues resolved
-- ✅ Documentation complete (VAPID runbook, verification guide, implementation README)
-
-**Prerequisites Met:**
-
-- Phase 3b backend callables verified in staging
-- Phase 3c state machine architecture frozen
-- All technical blockers resolved
-
-**Remaining UI Blockers:**
-
-- SSL certificate issue for staging web apps (does not block Phase 3c backend work)
-- Manual UI verification can proceed in parallel or after Phase 3c completion
-
-**Decision Point:** Proceed with Phase 3c implementation or resolve staging UI blockers first?
-
-### Known open items carrying into 3c
-
-- `cancelDispatch` widened from pending-only → accepted/acknowledged/in_progress
-- FCM push on dispatch.created (currently warning-only placeholder)
-- Responder accept + status progression
-- RejectReport callable: FAILED_PRECONDITION code check (uses HttpsError 'failed-precondition' which maps to code 'FAILED_PRECONDITION')

-### What was built
-
-**Responder PWA lifecycle:**
-
-- `useDispatch` hook + `DispatchDetailPage` — responder sees assigned dispatches via `onSnapshot`
-- `useAcceptDispatch` hook + Accept button — responder accepts via `acceptDispatch` callable
-- `useAdvanceDispatch` hook + progression buttons — acknowledge → en_route → on_scene → resolve
-- `CancelledScreen` + race-loss re-fetch — responder sees cancelled state when dispatch cancelled mid-flight
-- `dispatchTransition` helper — DRY consolidation of 4 status-step assertions in acceptance test
-
-**Acceptance gate (`scripts/phase-3c/acceptance.ts`):**
-
-- Complete lifecycle: dispatch → accept → acknowledge → en_route → on_scene → resolve → close
-- Idempotency guard: second `acceptDispatch` call with same idempotency key returns `accepted` (no error)
-- Cancel from accepted: `cancelDispatch` widens to accepted state (Phase 3c)
-- Terminal-state guard: `cancelDispatch` on resolved throws `FAILED_PRECONDITION`
-- Mirror sync: `dispatchMirrorToReport` fires async, updates `reports.status` on dispatch transitions
-
-**Playwright e2e specs (unblocked — SSL issue resolved):**
-
-- `citizen.spec.ts` — 6 passing tests (form, geolocation denial, lookup, invalid ref/secret)
-- `admin.spec.ts` — 7 tests for auth + triage + dispatch (BASE_URL fixed to localhost:5175)
-- `responder.spec.ts` — 10 tests for auth + dispatch list + progression
-- `full-loop.spec.ts` + `race-loss.spec.ts` — stub tests for full loop and race conditions

-| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
-| `staging.bantayog.web.app` not a Firebase domain   | Staging E2E needs `BASE_URL` env var set | Use `bantayog-alert-staging.web.app` or local tests |
-| Firebase module-level init in admin/responder apps | Apps crash without valid API key         | Emulator-only testing for web UI flows              |
-| No hosting deploy to staging                       | Staging URL returns 404                  | `firebase deploy --only hosting` (needs approval)   |

-| C3  | `acceptDispatch` callable sets dispatch to `accepted` — mirror then writes `acknowledged` to report | Two-step status check: dispatch=`accepted`, report=`acknowledged` |
-| C4  | `connectFunctionsEmulator` v10+ takes `(functions, host, port)` — no options object                 | Called with `(webFunctions, 'localhost', 5001)`                   |

-## PR #29 CI Investigation — pnpm/action-setup v6 (2026-04-17)
-
-**Branch:** `pr-29-fix`
-**Status:** Local fix applied, local verification passed
-
-### Findings
-
-- PR #29 only changes `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
-- Four CI runs failed in the `Install` job before lint/typecheck/test/build started
-- Failure signature was consistent: `ERR_PNPM_BROKEN_LOCKFILE` from `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
-- The lockfile at the exact failing merge commit was structurally clean when fetched from GitHub
-- Local reproduction with Node `20.20.2` and `corepack prepare pnpm@9.12.0 --activate` succeeded
-
-### Fix Applied
-
-- Replaced `pnpm/action-setup@v6` usage in CI with explicit Corepack pnpm activation at `9.12.0`
-- Removed `cache: pnpm` from `actions/setup-node` because pnpm is now installed after Node setup
-
-### Verification
-
-- `PATH=$HOME/.local/share/mise/installs/node/20.20.2/bin:$PATH ~/.local/share/mise/installs/node/20.20.2/bin/corepack prepare pnpm@9.12.0 --activate && ... pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` PASS
-- `pnpm lint` PASS
-- `pnpm typecheck` PASS
-- `pnpm test` PASS
-- `pnpm format:check` PASS

-## Phase 3b Admin Triage Dispatch (In Progress)
-
-**Branch:** `phase-3b-impl`
-**Status:** Implementation in progress — rules tests being added
-
-### Task 14: Admin onSnapshot Rules Test — COMPLETE
-
-**File:** `functions/src/__tests__/rules/admin-onsnapshot.rules.test.ts`
-
-| Step | Check                                           | Result  |
-| ---- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------- |
-| 1    | Tests implemented (4 cases)                     | ✅ PASS |
-| 2    | `firebase emulators:exec --only firestore` test | ✅ PASS |
-| 3    | Lint + commit                                   | ✅ PASS |
-
-**Test cases:**
-
-- `allows muni admin to read reports filtered by own municipalityId + queue statuses` — ✅ PASS
-- `denies cross-muni reads` — ✅ PASS
-- `denies unauthenticated reads` — ✅ PASS
-- `denies citizen-role reads` — ✅ PASS
-
-### Task 15: Scaffold Admin-Desktop Auth Init — COMPLETE
-
-**Files created:**
-
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/app/firebase.ts` — Firebase init with App Check + emulator support
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/app/auth-provider.tsx` — AuthProvider with claim refresh
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/app/protected-route.tsx` — Role-gated route wrapper
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/routes.tsx` — React Router with protected root route
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/App.tsx` — Router + AuthProvider bootstrap
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/pages/LoginPage.tsx` — Email/password sign-in stub
-- `apps/admin-desktop/src/pages/TriageQueuePage.tsx` — Queue placeholder stub
-
-**Verification:**
-
-- `pnpm --filter @bantayog/admin-desktop typecheck` — ✅ PASS
-- `npx eslint apps/admin-desktop/src/app/firebase.ts apps/admin-desktop/src/app/auth-provider.tsx apps/admin-desktop/src/app/protected-route.tsx apps/admin-desktop/src/pages/LoginPage.tsx apps/admin-desktop/src/pages/TriageQueuePage.tsx` — ✅ PASS
-
-**Key decisions:**
-
-- `AdminClaims.role` typed as `string` (not union) to avoid `@typescript-eslint/no-redundant-type-constituents`
-- `onAuthStateChanged` callback not async — chained with `.then()` to satisfy `no-misused-promises`
-- All async handlers wrapped in `void` IIFEs to satisfy `no-floating-promises`
-- Firebase debug token uses combined eslint-disable comment to suppress both rules
-- `React.FormEvent` suppressed with `// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-deprecated` since the project consistently uses the React event type across forms
-
-**Key fix during implementation:** `seedReportAtStatus` uses `firebase-admin/firestore` `Timestamp.now()` which is incompatible with `RulesTestEnvironment.withSecurityRulesDisabled` context (uses JS SDK). Wrote inline seeding with numeric `ts` timestamps instead.
+## Current
+
+### Phase 4a Acceptance Fixes (2026-04-21)
+
+- Status: PASS locally via emulator acceptance gate
+- Verification: `firebase emulators:exec --only firestore,database,auth "pnpm exec tsx scripts/phase-4a/acceptance.ts"` → `13/13 passing`
+- Notes:
+  Repaired the phase 4a acceptance harness to run each case against clean Firestore + RTDB emulator state.
+  Fixed `verifyReport`, `closeReport`, and `dispatchResponder` so transactional reads happen before writes.
+  Corrected SMS fallback `publicRef` generation when `report_lookup` is absent.
+
+### Phase 1 Identity Spine
+
+- Status: in progress; verification still incomplete
+- Verification snapshot:
+  `pnpm test` FAIL — `apps/citizen-pwa/src/App.test.tsx` still imports Jest DOM via the Jest path instead of `@testing-library/jest-dom/vitest`.
+  `pnpm --filter @bantayog/functions test:unit` PASS
+  `firebase emulators:exec --only firestore "pnpm --filter @bantayog/functions test:rules"` SKIP locally
+  `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck && pnpm build` PASS
+- Built:
+  Identity spine documents and auth claim issuance/revocation Cloud Functions.
+  Phase 1 auth and Firestore rules coverage.
+  Phase 1 bootstrap script.
+
+## Completed
+
+### Phase 3b Admin Triage + Dispatch
+
+- Status: complete in code; manual staging UI verification still blocked by hosting/cert issues
+- Key verification:
+  `pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck` PASS
+  `pnpm test` PASS (`127 tests`)
+  Backend staging callable verification PASS (`5/5`)
+- Remaining blockers:
+  `staging.bantayog.web.app` certificate mismatch
+  IAM Credentials API disabled for acceptance flow
+  No valid staging hosting deploy
+
+### Phase 0 Foundation
+
+- Status: complete
+- Key verification:
+  install, lint, format, typecheck, test, build, emulator, and Terraform validate all passed
+- Notable fixes:
+  corrected root Vitest workspace setup
+  reformatted docs/rules files
+  removed broken package-level workspace assumptions

+# Phase 4a — Outbound SMS Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Build the outbound SMS pipeline (enqueue → provider send → delivery receipt) for four citizen-facing purposes, with circuit-breaker provider selection, a fake provider for dev/CI, real-provider stubs, webhook ingestion, and citizen PWA phone + consent capture.
+
+**Architecture:** Outbox-then-trigger pipeline mirroring the Phase 3a `report_inbox → processInboxItem` pattern. Phase 3 callables call `enqueueSms(tx, ...)` inside their existing Firestore transactions; `dispatchSmsOutbox` (onDocumentWritten) handles provider send asynchronously. Circuit state is persisted per provider with minute-window counter shards. A shared-secret HTTP webhook ingests delivery reports.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Firebase Functions v2 (onDocumentWritten, onRequest, scheduled), Firestore transactions, Zod, Secret Manager, Firebase Functions test SDK, Vitest, Playwright, existing `withIdempotency` helper.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-19-phase-4a-outbound-sms-design.md`
+
+**Branch:** `feature/phase-4a-outbound-sms` (create from `main`)

+}
+```
+
+Note: the `geo.defaultSmsLocale` field requires adding `defaultSmsLocale: 'tl' | 'en'` to the municipality lookup struct in the same file. If the existing `resolveGeo` helper does not already surface municipality config, extend it minimally to include this field.

+
+**Files:**

+- Modify: `apps/citizen-pwa/src/components/SubmitReportForm.tsx`
+- Modify: `apps/citizen-pwa/src/services/submit-report.ts`
+- Create: `apps/citizen-pwa/src/components/__tests__/SubmitReportForm.sms.test.tsx`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing UI test**
+
+Create `apps/citizen-pwa/src/components/__tests__/SubmitReportForm.sms.test.tsx`:
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest'
+import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'

+})
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `pnpm --filter @bantayog/citizen-pwa test SubmitReportForm.sms`
+Expected: FAIL.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend the form component**
+
+Edit `apps/citizen-pwa/src/components/SubmitReportForm.tsx` — add two controlled fields and validation.
+
+Append inside the existing form JSX (after description, before submit):
+
+```tsx
+<label htmlFor="phone">Phone (optional)</label>
+<input
+  id="phone"
+  type="tel"
+  placeholder="09171234567"
+  value={phone}
+  onChange={(e) => setPhone(e.target.value)}
+/>
+{phoneError ? <p role="alert">{phoneError}</p> : null}
+
+<label>
+  <input
+    type="checkbox"
+    checked={consent}
+    onChange={(e) => setConsent(e.target.checked)}
+  />
+  I consent to SMS updates about this report (required if phone provided)
+</label>
+{consentError ? <p role="alert">{consentError}</p> : null}
+```
+
+And in the submit handler — before calling `onSubmit`:
+
+```typescript
+import { normalizeMsisdn, MsisdnInvalidError } from '@bantayog/shared-validators'
+
+let contact: { phone: string; smsConsent: true } | undefined
+setPhoneError('')
+setConsentError('')
+
+if (phone.trim().length > 0) {
+  try {
+    const normalized = normalizeMsisdn(phone.trim())
+    if (!consent) {
+      setConsentError('Consent is required when a phone number is provided.')
+      return
+    }
+    contact = { phone: normalized, smsConsent: true }
+  } catch (err) {
+    if (err instanceof MsisdnInvalidError) {
+      setPhoneError('Invalid Philippine mobile number (expected 09XXXXXXXXX or +639XXXXXXXXX).')
+      return
+    }
+    throw err
+  }
+}
+
+await onSubmit({
+  ...payload,
+  contact,
+})
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Thread `contact` through `submit-report.ts`**
+
+Edit `apps/citizen-pwa/src/services/submit-report.ts` — extend the `submitReport` input type with optional `contact`, pass through to the inbox write payload unchanged. No schema parse on client (the inbox Cloud Function re-validates with Zod).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests + lint + typecheck**
+
+Run: `pnpm --filter @bantayog/citizen-pwa test && pnpm --filter @bantayog/citizen-pwa typecheck && pnpm --filter @bantayog/citizen-pwa lint`
+Expected: PASS.

+- Modify: `firestore.rules`
+- Create: `functions/src/__tests__/rules/sms-outbox.rules.test.ts`
+- Create: `functions/src/__tests__/rules/sms-minute-windows.rules.test.ts`

+
+Create `functions/src/__tests__/rules/sms-minute-windows.rules.test.ts`:

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify they fail**
+
+Run: `firebase emulators:exec --only firestore "pnpm --filter @bantayog/functions test:rules sms-outbox.rules"`
+Expected: FAIL (rules likely allow reads to municipal_admin under existing patterns, or the subcollection is not yet covered).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Extend `firestore.rules`**
+
+In the `match /databases/{database}/documents { ... }` block, ensure:
+
+```
+match /sms_outbox/{outboxId} {
+  allow read, write: if false;
+}
+
+match /sms_provider_health/{providerId} {
+  allow read, write: if false;
+
+  match /minute_windows/{windowId} {
+    allow read, write: if false;
+  }
+}
+
+match /report_sms_consent/{reportId} {
+  allow read, write: if false;
+}
+```
+
+Note: if the rule-coverage checker regex requires positive tests too, add assertFails cases covering all client contexts — admin SDK bypasses rules entirely and needs no positive test.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run rules tests + coverage check**
+
+Run: `firebase emulators:exec --only firestore "pnpm --filter @bantayog/functions test:rules && pnpm exec tsx scripts/check-rule-coverage.ts"`
+Expected: new rules tests PASS; coverage checker reports new collections covered.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Add composite indexes**
+
+Edit `firestore.indexes.json` — add to `indexes` array:
+
+```json
+{
+  "collectionGroup": "sms_outbox",
+  "queryScope": "COLLECTION",
+  "fields": [{ "fieldPath": "providerMessageId", "order": "ASCENDING" }]

+    { "fieldPath": "queuedAt", "order": "ASCENDING" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Show diff to user and commit**
+
+Run: `git diff firestore.rules firestore.indexes.json`
+
+Per CLAUDE.md rule: **do not commit rules/indexes without showing the diff to the user first.** Display the diff and wait for explicit confirmation before committing.
+
+After approval:
+
+```bash
+git add firestore.rules firestore.indexes.json functions/src/__tests__/rules/

+## Task 20: Terraform — Secret Manager + Log Metrics
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `infra/terraform/` (exact file depends on existing module structure — likely `secrets.tf` and `monitoring.tf`)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add Secret Manager entries**
+
+In the appropriate `infra/terraform/` file (follow the existing pattern used for other secrets such as FCM VAPID keys):
+
+```hcl

+- [ ] **Step 2: Add log metrics**
+
+```hcl

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Validate Terraform**
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+cd infra/terraform
+terraform fmt -check
+terraform validate
+```
+
+Expected: both PASS. If they fail, fix syntax before committing.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Show diff to user and commit**
+
+Per CLAUDE.md rule: show diff for infra changes before committing.
+
+```bash

+### What was built
+
+- Outbound SMS pipeline: `enqueueSms` → `sms_outbox` → `dispatchSmsOutbox` trigger → provider send → DLR webhook.
+- Circuit breaker evaluator (`evaluateSmsProviderHealth`, scheduled 1m) with minute-window shards.
+- Orphan sweep + deferred pickup (`reconcileSmsDeliveryStatus`, scheduled 10m).
+- Minute-window GC (`cleanupSmsMinuteWindows`, scheduled 1h).
+- Delivery webhook (`smsDeliveryReport`, onRequest) with shared-secret auth.
+- Fake provider with env-flag failure injection + impersonation.

+
+## Self-Review
+
+Completed at plan-write time:
+
+1. **Spec coverage — every §3.1 file is produced**: `msisdn.ts` (Task 2), `sms-encoding.ts` (Task 3), `sms-templates.ts` (Task 4), `sms.ts` schema bump + minute window (Task 5), `contact` on inbox payload (Task 6), `sms-provider.ts` + fake + stubs + factory (Task 7), `sms-health.ts` (Task 8), `send-sms.ts` (Task 9), `dispatch-sms-outbox.ts` (Task 10), `evaluate-sms-provider-health.ts` (Task 11), `reconcile-sms-delivery-status.ts` (Task 12), `cleanup-sms-minute-windows.ts` (Task 13), `sms-delivery-report.ts` + Hosting rewrite (Task 14). Callable wiring: `process-inbox-item.ts` (Task 15), `verify-report.ts` (Task 16), `dispatch-responder.ts` + `close-report.ts` (Task 17). UI: `SubmitReportForm.tsx` + `submit-report.ts` (Task 18). Rules + indexes (Task 19). Terraform (Task 20). Acceptance script (Task 21). Progress + PR (Task 22).
+2. **Acceptance test 10 (failover routing) is preserved**: Task 21 references spec §5.6 case 10 verbatim in the function name `test8_circuitFailoverRoutingEndToEnd` and asserts `outbox.providerId === 'globelabs'`.
+3. **Schema v2 rigor**: Task 5 uses `z.literal(2)` on outbox/health schemaVersion and `z.literal(1)` on minute-window schemaVersion, catching v1 writers at compile+runtime.
+4. **Consent enforcement**: Task 6 uses `z.literal(true)` on `smsConsent` so `{phone, smsConsent: false}` fails validation at the server boundary.
+5. **Webhook shared-secret constant-time compare**: Task 14 uses `node:crypto` `timingSafeEqual` with length-prefix guard.
+6. **Rules lockdown**: Task 19 sets `allow read, write: if false` on `sms_outbox`, `sms_provider_health`, nested `minute_windows`, AND the new `report_sms_consent` collection introduced in Task 16. Rule-coverage checker is invoked.
+7. **No wall-clock waits in acceptance**: Task 21 uses the Firebase Functions test SDK per spec §5.6.
+8. **Naming consistency**: `globelabs` (no underscore) is used in every task — matches existing `smsProviderIdSchema = z.enum(['semaphore', 'globelabs'])`.
+9. **Env-var cleanup between tests**: Task 21 defines `BASE_ENV` and re-applies it at the start of every test case, never using `delete process.env.X` (per spec §5.6 afterEach policy).
+10. **Risky changes (rules, indexes, Terraform)**: Task 19 + Task 20 explicitly require `git diff` shown to user before commit per CLAUDE.md §8.4.
+
+Self-review found no placeholder-type gaps, no type inconsistencies between tasks (e.g., `encoding` optional in outbox schema matches optional in provider rejected type), and no missing spec coverage.
+
+---
+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-19-phase-4a-outbound-sms.md`. Two execution options:
+
+1. **Subagent-Driven (recommended)** — I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration. Best for a 22-task plan where the blast radius per task is contained.
+2. **Inline Execution** — Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints. Better if you want to intervene on design decisions mid-flight (e.g., locale derivation, municipality doc shape).

+# Phase 4a — Outbound SMS Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-19
+**Branch (to be created):** `feature/phase-4a-outbound-sms`
+**Status:** Design — awaiting user review before implementation plan
+
+---
+
+## 1. Scope and context
+
+Phase 4 in the implementation plan (`prd/bantayog-alert-implementation-plan-v1.0.md` §Phase 4) bundles four loosely-coupled subsystems: SMS layer (inbound + outbound), command channels, coordination threads, and hazard zones. That scope is too broad for one spec; Phase 4 is decomposed into 4a/4b/4c/4d. This spec covers **4a — Outbound SMS only**.
+
+**In scope for 4a:**
+
+- Outbound SMS dispatch pipeline (enqueue → provider send → delivery receipt).
+- Four citizen-facing purposes wired from existing Phase 3 flows:
+  - `receipt_ack` — from `processInboxItem` trigger on successful materialization.
+  - `verification` — from `verifyReport` callable on `awaiting_verify → verified`.
+  - `status_update` — from `dispatchResponder` callable on dispatch creation.
+  - `resolution` — from `closeReport` callable on terminal close.
+- Circuit-breaker provider selection (Semaphore primary, Globe Labs secondary, fake for dev/CI).
+- Delivery-report webhook (provider → Cloud Function) with shared-secret auth.
+- Citizen PWA phone + consent capture (new form fields; previously unimplemented).
+- Fake provider for emulator + CI; real provider adapters scaffolded as `NotImplemented` behind env flag.
+
+**Out of scope (deferred):**
+
+- Inbound SMS (parsing, session management, reply routing) — Phase 4b.
+- Agency command channels / coordination threads — Phase 4c.
+- Hazard zones — Phase 4d.
+- Real Semaphore / Globe Labs credentials + sender-ID approval — Phase 4b or ops task.
+- Admin SMS history panel — Phase 5.
+- Templates stored in Firestore with CMS — Phase 5 (hard-coded in shared-validators for 4a).
+
+**Pilot blockers addressed:** #8 (outbound SMS to reporters), #9 (status SMS for dispatched reports), #12 (citizen consent capture for SMS), #30 (provider abstraction + failover).

+
+### 2.2 Pattern lineage
+
+This mirrors the existing `report_inbox` → `processInboxItem` pattern from Phase 3a:
+
+- **Outbox-then-trigger.** Phase 3 callables write a source document inside a Firestore transaction; a `onDocumentWritten` trigger materializes downstream state. Phase 4a's `enqueueSms` writes an `sms_outbox` document in the same transaction as the report/dispatch mutation. `dispatchSmsOutbox` handles the send asynchronously.
+- **Idempotency via `withIdempotency`.** Existing helper in `packages/shared-validators/src/idempotency.ts`. Every enqueue carries an idempotency key derived from `{reportId, purpose}` for most purposes, or `{dispatchId, purpose}` for status_update.
+- **No direct provider call from a callable.** Callables never block on SMS. A provider outage must never bubble up as a user-facing error.
+
+### 2.3 Key architectural decisions
+
+| Decision                                                              | Rationale                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Single `onDocumentWritten` handler, not `onCreate` + `onUpdate`       | Retry sets `status: deferred → queued`; a separate `onCreate` won't fire for that transition. One handler with `isCreate \|\| isRetry` guard avoids double-send races.                  |
+| Minute-window subcollection under each provider health doc            | Per-provider, per-minute counter shards. Single health doc `updatedAt` writes are capped to ~1 req/s by Firestore; surge of 500 sends/min would contend on one doc. Shard per minute.   |
+| Plaintext msisdn stored alongside hash on outbox, cleared on terminal | Providers need plaintext to send. Admin audit needs the hash for lookup. Keep both until status ∈ {sent→delivered, failed, abandoned}, then clear plaintext.                            |
+| Circuit state persisted on provider health doc, not in-memory         | Cloud Function instances are ephemeral. Cold starts must not reset the breaker.                                                                                                         |
+| Webhook shared-secret via `X-Sms-Provider-Secret` header              | Providers differ on HMAC schemes. Shared secret in Secret Manager + constant-time compare keeps adapters simple. Revocation is a redeploy, which is acceptable for this traffic volume. |
+| Predicted + actual segment count stored on outbox                     | Lets monitoring catch mis-predictions (GSM-7 vs UCS-2 misclassification) and catch providers that segment differently than our detector.                                                |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Components
+
+### 3.1 New files
+
+#### Shared validators (`packages/shared-validators/`)
+
+- **`src/sms-encoding.ts`** — `detectEncoding(body: string): { encoding: 'GSM-7' | 'UCS-2', segmentCount: number }`. GSM-7 charset test against the 128-char GSM default alphabet + basic-extension table; characters outside both → UCS-2. Segment count: 160 chars (GSM-7) or 70 chars (UCS-2) for single; 153 / 67 for concatenated.
+- **`src/sms-templates.ts`** — 4 template pairs keyed by `{ purpose, locale }`:
+  - `receipt_ack.tl`, `receipt_ack.en`
+  - `verification.tl`, `verification.en`
+  - `status_update.tl`, `status_update.en`
+  - `resolution.tl`, `resolution.en`
+  - All templates include `{publicRef}` placeholder. `renderTemplate(purpose, locale, vars): string`.
+  - File header: `// TODO(phase-5): move template bodies to Firestore for CMS-driven editing.`
+- **`src/msisdn.ts`** — PH-only regex `/^(\+63|0)9\d{9}$/`. `normalizeMsisdn(input: string): string` returns `+63XXXXXXXXXX` or throws `MSISDN_INVALID`. `hashMsisdn(msisdn: string, salt: string): string` returns `sha256(salt + msisdn).hex()`.
+- **`src/sms.ts`** (rewrite — treat as breaking schema change; no production data exists yet so no migration). The existing `smsOutboxDocSchema` and `smsProviderHealthDocSchema` are bumped from `schemaVersion: 1` to `schemaVersion: 2`. Any writer that produces `schemaVersion: 1` in 4a is a bug — CI will enforce this via rule coverage + Zod parse in the dispatcher.
+
+  **`smsProviderIdSchema`** — unchanged. Keep `z.enum(['semaphore', 'globelabs'])` (no underscore). The `fake` provider id is a _runtime_ injection only and must not be persisted; at the Zod layer, `smsProviderIdSchema` stays restricted to real providers. The `SmsProvider.providerId` TypeScript type in functions code is `'semaphore' | 'globelabs' | 'fake'` but docs written to Firestore carry only the real ids.
+
+  **`smsOutboxDocSchema` delta (schemaVersion 1 → 2):**
+  - **Add (required):** `predictedEncoding: 'GSM-7' | 'UCS-2'`, `predictedSegmentCount: number.int().positive()`, `recipientMsisdn: string` _(plaintext, cleared to `null` on terminal — modeled as `string | null`)_, `retryCount: number.int().nonnegative()`, `locale: 'tl' | 'en'`, `queuedAt: number.int()`.
+  - **Add (optional):** `terminalReason?: 'rejected' | 'client_err' | 'orphan' | 'abandoned_after_retries' | 'dlr_failed'`, `deferralReason?: 'rate_limited' | 'provider_error' | 'network'`, `failedAt?: number.int()`, `abandonedAt?: number.int()`.
+  - **Change (required → optional):** `encoding` and `segmentCount` become optional — they are provider-authoritative values set only after a successful `send()`. Use `predictedEncoding`/`predictedSegmentCount` for enqueue-time values.
+  - **Change (enum widened):** `status` enum becomes `'queued' | 'sending' | 'sent' | 'delivered' | 'failed' | 'deferred' | 'abandoned'`. `'undelivered'` is removed (merged into `failed`).
+  - **Change:** `statusReason` kept for backward-compatible free-form notes but new writers populate `terminalReason`/`deferralReason` instead; `statusReason` is optional and unused by 4a.
+  - **Unchanged:** `providerId`, `recipientMsisdnHash`, `purpose`, `bodyPreviewHash`, `providerMessageId?`, `reportId?`, `idempotencyKey`, `createdAt`, `sentAt?`, `deliveredAt?`.
+
+  **`smsProviderHealthDocSchema` delta (schemaVersion 1 → 2):**
+  - **Add (optional):** `openedAt?: number.int()`, `lastProbeAt?: number.int()`, `lastTransitionReason?: string.max(200)`.
+  - **Unchanged:** `providerId`, `circuitState` _(already present)_, `errorRatePct`, `lastErrorAt?`, `updatedAt`.
+  - **Remove:** nothing. All existing fields retained.
+
+  **`smsMinuteWindowDocSchema` (new subcollection schema):**
+  - `.strict()` object: `providerId: smsProviderIdSchema`, `windowStartMs: number.int()` (ms at start of minute, derived from doc id), `attempts: number.int().nonnegative()`, `failures: number.int().nonnegative()`, `rateLimitedCount: number.int().nonnegative()`, `latencySumMs: number.int().nonnegative()`, `maxLatencyMs: number.int().nonnegative()`, `updatedAt: number.int()`, `schemaVersion: z.literal(1)`.
+  - Doc id is `YYYYMMDDHHMM` (UTC) — lexicographically sortable. Stored at `sms_provider_health/{providerId}/minute_windows/{YYYYMMDDHHMM}`.
+
+  **`contact` schema (added to `reportInboxPayloadSchema` in `reports.ts`, not `sms.ts`, but noted here for cross-reference):**
+
+  ```typescript
+  contact: z.object({
+    phone: msisdnPhSchema, // normalized +63 form
+    smsConsent: z.literal(true), // literal true, not boolean — absence of consent = absence of contact
+  })
+    .strict()
+    .optional()
+  ```
+
+  This enforces at the Zod layer that "phone present implies consent=true" — a payload with `phone` and `smsConsent: false` fails validation. Callers who lack consent must omit the `contact` object entirely.
+
+#### Functions (`functions/src/`)
+
+- **`services/sms-provider.ts`** — canonical interface. On success, `encoding` and `segmentCount` are authoritative. On a rejected-but-returned response (`accepted: false`), they may be omitted; the dispatcher falls back to predicted values for auditing. On a thrown error (network, 5xx, 429), the caller never sees the return object at all.
+
+  ```typescript
+  export interface SmsProviderSendSuccess {
+    accepted: true
+    providerMessageId: string
+    latencyMs: number
+    segmentCount: number // authoritative
+    encoding: 'GSM-7' | 'UCS-2' // authoritative
+  }
+
+  export interface SmsProviderSendRejected {
+    accepted: false
+    providerMessageId?: string // some providers echo even on reject
+    latencyMs: number
+    reason: 'invalid_number' | 'ban' | 'bad_format' | 'other'
+    segmentCount?: number // optional — provider may not have segmented yet
+    encoding?: 'GSM-7' | 'UCS-2' // optional
+  }
+
+  export type SmsProviderSendResult = SmsProviderSendSuccess | SmsProviderSendRejected
+
+  export interface SmsProvider {
+    readonly providerId: 'semaphore' | 'globelabs' | 'fake'
+    send(input: {
+      to: string // +63 normalized
+      body: string
+      encoding: 'GSM-7' | 'UCS-2'
+    }): Promise<SmsProviderSendResult> // throws on retryable errors
+  }
+  ```
+
+  **Provider adapter state in 4a:**
+  - `fake.ts` — fully implemented, callable. Can impersonate any real providerId via `FAKE_SMS_IMPERSONATE='semaphore' | 'globelabs'` so that an outbox doc written in 4a carries a real providerId (`semaphore` or `globelabs`) even though the fake backend served it. This keeps the persisted provider id aligned with `smsProviderIdSchema`.
+  - `semaphore.ts` — stub that throws `NotImplementedError`. Wired into DI only when `SMS_PROVIDER_MODE='real'`.
+  - `globelabs.ts` — **also a stub in 4a** throwing `NotImplementedError`. Not used in 4a because Phase 4a ships with `SMS_PROVIDER_MODE='fake'` only; the real-provider rollout is blocked on Phase 4b + credentials.
+  - **Failover path is validated via the fake.** Because the fake can impersonate either providerId and `FAKE_SMS_FAIL_PROVIDER` gates which impersonation rejects, end-to-end failover (`semaphore` open → `globelabs` closed → route there) is exercised against the fake in 4a. The real Semaphore ↔ Globe Labs failover is validated in the Phase 4b rollout against real credentials.
+
+  Fake provider honors env flags:
+  - `FAKE_SMS_LATENCY_MS` — sleep before returning.
+  - `FAKE_SMS_ERROR_RATE` — 0.0..1.0, random reject (resolves with `accepted: false`).
+  - `FAKE_SMS_FAIL_PROVIDER` — `'semaphore' | 'globelabs' | ''` — throw a retryable-network error when asked to impersonate this provider. Lets tests trip the breaker on a specific providerId without touching the other.
+  - `FAKE_SMS_IMPERSONATE` — `'semaphore' | 'globelabs'` — which real providerId the fake claims to be when building the outbox record.
+
+- **`services/sms-health.ts`** —
+  - `readCircuitState(providerId): Promise<CircuitStateDoc>`.
+  - `pickProvider(): Promise<'semaphore' | 'globelabs'>` — reads both health docs, returns `semaphore` if closed, else `globelabs` if closed, else falls back to whichever is `half_open`, else throws `NO_PROVIDER_AVAILABLE` (both open — caller should defer). **Does not return `'fake'`.** Selection is always a real providerId; whether a real or fake adapter serves it is a DI-layer decision controlled by `SMS_PROVIDER_MODE`.
+  - `incrementMinuteWindow(providerId, outcome: { success: boolean, rateLimited: boolean, latencyMs: number }): Promise<void>` — writes/merges into `sms_provider_health/{providerId}/minute_windows/{YYYYMMDDHHMM}`.
+
+- **`services/send-sms.ts`** —
+  - `enqueueSms(tx: Transaction, args: { reportId, purpose, recipientMsisdn, locale: 'tl' | 'en', templateVars }): void` — writes the outbox doc with predicted encoding/segments + both plaintext and hash msisdn. Idempotency key derived from `{reportId|dispatchId, purpose}`; duplicate enqueue returns existing doc.
+  - **Locale derivation** (caller responsibility, not `enqueueSms` itself): locale is derived from `municipality.config.defaultSmsLocale` on the report's municipality document, defaulting to `'tl'` (Tagalog) when unset. Phase 4a does not capture a user-level locale preference; that is deferred to Phase 5. Callers pass the resolved locale into `enqueueSms` explicitly.
+
+- **`triggers/dispatch-sms-outbox.ts`** — `onDocumentWritten('sms_outbox/{id}', ...)`:
+  1. Guard: proceed only if `isCreate || (previousStatus === 'deferred' && currentStatus === 'queued')`. Otherwise no-op.
+  2. Unified CAS: run Firestore transaction — re-read doc, confirm `status === 'queued'`, set `status='sending'`. On conflict (another invocation won the CAS), exit. This guard also catches at-least-once replays of `isCreate` invocations.
+  3. `pickProvider()` → `provider.send(...)`. If `pickProvider()` throws `NO_PROVIDER_AVAILABLE`, treat as retryable-defer (§step 6) with `deferralReason='provider_error'`.
+  4. On `accepted: true`: update `status='sent'`, set `sentAt`, `providerMessageId`, actual `encoding`, actual `segmentCount`. `incrementMinuteWindow({success: true, latencyMs})`.
+  5. On `accepted: false` (non-retryable): `status='failed'`, `terminalReason` mapped from provider's `reason` field. Set `encoding`/`segmentCount` from provider response if present; otherwise leave them unset (predicted values remain available for audit). `incrementMinuteWindow({success: false, rateLimited: false, latencyMs})`.
+  6. On thrown retryable error (network, 5xx, 429): if `retryCount < 3`, `status='deferred'`, increment `retryCount`, set `deferralReason` (`rate_limited` for 429, `provider_error` for 5xx, `network` for connection-level). If `retryCount >= 3`, `status='abandoned'`, `terminalReason='abandoned_after_retries'`, `abandonedAt`. `incrementMinuteWindow({success: false, rateLimited: is429, latencyMs})`.
+
+- **`triggers/evaluate-sms-provider-health.ts`** — scheduled every 1 min:
+  - For each provider: read last 5 `minute_windows` docs.
+  - Compute `errorRatePct = failures / attempts`, `p95LatencyMs ≈ maxLatencyMs` (approximation without full histogram — acceptable for SoS Phase 4a).
+  - Circuit transitions (§4.3 below).
+  - Atomic update on provider health doc.
+
+- **`triggers/reconcile-sms-delivery-status.ts`** — scheduled every 10 min:
+  - Orphan sweep: query `sms_outbox where status='queued' and queuedAt < now - 30m` → mark `status='abandoned'`, `terminalReason='orphan'`, `abandonedAt=now`.
+  - Deferred pickup: query `sms_outbox where status='deferred'` ordered by `updatedAt` asc, limit 100 per tick → transaction CAS `deferred → queued`. **`queuedAt` IS updated to `now` on this transition** (otherwise the orphan sweep would re-flag a just-retried row). `createdAt` is never touched. This re-fires the `onDocumentWritten` trigger.
+
+- **`triggers/cleanup-sms-minute-windows.ts`** — scheduled every 1 hour:
+  - For each provider, paginate `minute_windows` collection in batches of 500 keyed by doc ID (`YYYYMMDDHHMM` sortable).
+  - Delete docs older than 1h. Cursor-based pagination survives 50k+ docs.
+
+- **`http/sms-delivery-report.ts`** — `onRequest(...)`. **Exported as `smsDeliveryReport` from `functions/src/index.ts`** → Firebase Functions v2 generates the endpoint at `https://<region>-<project>.cloudfunctions.net/smsDeliveryReport` (or, behind the Hosting rewrite declared in `firebase.json`, at `POST /webhooks/sms-delivery-report`). The Hosting rewrite is added in the same PR; providers are configured to POST to the Hosting URL.
+  - Verify `X-Sms-Provider-Secret` header constant-time-equals Secret Manager value. Mismatch → 401, structured log `sms.webhook.auth_failed`.
+  - Parse body per provider-specific schema (Semaphore / Globe Labs) → normalized `{ providerMessageId, status: 'delivered' | 'failed', reason? }`.
+  - Look up outbox by `providerMessageId` (requires index).
+  - If found and not terminal: update `status`, set `deliveredAt` or `failedAt`, clear `recipientMsisdn` plaintext.
+  - If found and already terminal (including `abandoned`): structured log `sms.webhook.callback_after_terminal`, return 200 no-op. **Do not mutate.**
+  - If not found: structured log `sms.webhook.unknown_message`, return 200.
+
+#### Scripts
+
+- **`scripts/phase-4a/acceptance.ts`** — see §5.6.
+
+### 3.2 Files to modify
+
+- **`functions/src/triggers/process-inbox-item.ts`** — after successful materialization, inside same transaction: if payload includes `contact.phone` and `contact.smsConsent === true`, call `enqueueSms(tx, { reportId, purpose: 'receipt_ack', ... })`.
+- **`functions/src/callables/verify-report.ts`** — on success branch `awaiting_verify → verified` or `new → verified`, enqueue `verification` (only if reporter had consent).
+- **`functions/src/callables/dispatch-responder.ts`** — on dispatch creation, enqueue `status_update`.
+- **`functions/src/callables/close-report.ts`** — on terminal close with outcome ∈ {resolved, false_alarm}, enqueue `resolution`.
+- **`apps/citizen-pwa/src/components/SubmitReportForm.tsx`** — add phone input (PH-format validated client-side with `msisdn.ts` regex) + consent checkbox. Both optional; form submits without them. If phone present, consent required before submit.
+- **`apps/citizen-pwa/src/services/submit-report.ts`** — pass `contact: { phone, smsConsent: true } | undefined` through to `requestUploadUrl` / inbox write. Form validation blocks submission when `phone` is present but consent box is unchecked, so the service layer never sees a `{phone, smsConsent: false}` shape.
+- **`packages/shared-validators/src/reports.ts`** — extend `reportInboxPayloadSchema` with optional `contact` object shaped per §3.1: `{ phone: msisdnPhSchema, smsConsent: z.literal(true) }.strict().optional()`.
+- **`firestore.rules`** — extend `match /sms_provider_health/{providerId}/minute_windows/{ts}` — callable-only write, admin-only read. Add rule test.
+- **`firestore.indexes.json`** — add composite indexes:
+  - `sms_outbox` by `providerMessageId ASC` (webhook lookup).
+  - `sms_outbox` by `status ASC, queuedAt ASC` (orphan sweep + deferred pickup).
+- **`infra/terraform/`** — add Secret Manager entries `sms-msisdn-hash-salt` and `sms-webhook-inbound-secret`. Add log metrics `sms.sent`, `sms.failed`, `sms.abandoned`, `sms.circuit.opened`.

+
+Trip conditions (any of):
+
+- (a) `failures / attempts > 0.30` over the last 5 minute windows AND `attempts >= 10`.
+- (b) `maxLatencyMs > 30000` in any of the last 5 minute windows.
+- (c) `rateLimitedCount >= 3 AND rateLimitedCount === attempts` over the last 5 minute windows — sustained 429s targeting us specifically (every single attempt rate-limited).
+
+**Individual 429s during normal operation** → handled as a per-message retryable defer via §4.3 (`deferred` with `deferralReason='rate_limited'`). Condition (c) fires only when the 429 rate is effectively 100% — the provider is refusing us entirely, which is a circuit-level failure distinct from one transient rate-limit. The two paths are complementary, not contradictory.
+
+Transitions are atomic writes on the provider health doc with `lastTransitionReason` filled in for audit.
+
+### 4.3 Error taxonomy
+
+| Error source                                          | Outbox outcome                             | Retry?        | Logs / metrics                        |
+| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| Provider 2xx + `accepted=false` (e.g. invalid number) | `failed`, `terminalReason='rejected'`      | No            | `sms.failed{reason=rejected}`         |
+| Provider 4xx non-429 (auth, format)                   | `failed`, `terminalReason='client_err'`    | No            | `sms.failed{reason=client_err}`       |
+| Provider 429                                          | `deferred` if <3 retries, else `abandoned` | Yes (backoff) | `sms.rate_limited`                    |
+| Provider 5xx / network / timeout                      | `deferred` if <3 retries, else `abandoned` | Yes (backoff) | `sms.provider_error`                  |
+| DLR `delivered`                                       | `delivered`, plaintext cleared             | n/a           | `sms.delivered`                       |
+| DLR `failed`                                          | `failed`, plaintext cleared                | n/a           | `sms.dlr_failed`                      |
+| DLR for abandoned row                                 | no-op, 200                                 | n/a           | `sms.webhook.callback_after_terminal` |
+| DLR for unknown message id                            | no-op, 200                                 | n/a           | `sms.webhook.unknown_message`         |
+| Webhook bad secret                                    | 401, no mutation                           | n/a           | `sms.webhook.auth_failed`             |
+| Orphan (queued > 30m with no send attempt)            | `abandoned`, `terminalReason='orphan'`     | No            | `sms.abandoned{reason=orphan}`        |
+
+### 4.4 Idempotency
+
+- **Outbox enqueue:** `idempotencyKey = sha256(reportId + purpose)` for most purposes; `sha256(dispatchId + purpose)` for `status_update`. Duplicate enqueue returns the existing outbox doc without a second write.
+- **Provider send:** `dispatchSmsOutbox` trigger guards against re-entry via CAS on `status: queued → sending`. Idempotency against trigger replays (e.g. Cloud Functions at-least-once) lives here.
+- **DLR processing:** webhook skips mutation when the row is already terminal. Duplicate DLRs are safe.
+
+### 4.5 Segment-count monitoring
+
+Every outbox doc carries `predictedSegmentCount` (set at enqueue by `detectEncoding`) and `segmentCount` (set after `provider.send(...)` returns). A Cloud Monitoring metric fires when they disagree; the ratio is a sanity check on our encoding detector.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Testing strategy & acceptance gate
+
+### 5.1 Unit tests — shared-validators
+
+- **`sms-encoding.test.ts`** — golden table of ~20 inputs covering pure ASCII, GSM-extended characters (`~`, `{`, `}`, `|`, `\`, `€`), Tagalog diacritics, emoji, long messages across segment thresholds.
+- **`sms-templates.test.ts`** — each template renders without placeholder leak; all required `{vars}` substitute; locale fallback ordering.
+- **`msisdn.test.ts`** — accept/reject tables for PH-only: `+639171234567`, `09171234567`, plus invalid formats (non-PH country codes, wrong length, non-numeric).
+- **`idempotency.test.ts`** — reuse existing coverage; add sms-specific keys.
+
+### 5.2 Functions unit tests
+
+- **`sms-provider.fake.test.ts`** — fake respects `FAKE_SMS_LATENCY_MS`, `FAKE_SMS_ERROR_RATE`, `FAKE_SMS_FAIL_PROVIDER`; returns valid shape.
+- **`sms-health.pickProvider.test.ts`** — matrix of (semaphore state × globelabs state) → expected provider. Includes half_open picks. Asserts `pickProvider()` throws `NO_PROVIDER_AVAILABLE` when both are open.
+- **`send-sms.test.ts`** — `enqueueSms` is idempotent across same reportId+purpose; writes correct shape; populates predicted fields.
+
+### 5.3 Integration tests (Firestore emulator)
+
+- **`dispatch-sms-outbox.integration.test.ts`**:
+  - Create outbox doc → trigger fires → provider called → status=sent.
+  - Retryable failure → status=deferred, retryCount++.
+  - Retry CAS wins once (second invocation of same retry is no-op).
+  - Minute window counters increment correctly.
+- **`evaluate-sms-provider-health.integration.test.ts`**:
+  - Seed minute windows crossing error-rate threshold → circuit opens.
+  - Seed latency spike → circuit opens with latency reason.
+  - Seed 5m cooldown → half_open transition.
+  - Probe success in half_open → closes.
+  - Probe failure in half_open → reopens.
+- **`reconcile-sms-delivery-status.integration.test.ts`**:
+  - Orphan (queued > 30m) marked abandoned.
+  - Deferred row CAS'd to queued.
+  - Terminal rows untouched.
+- **`cleanup-sms-minute-windows.integration.test.ts`**:
+  - Seed 1200 minute-window docs across 3 providers, run cleanup, confirm cursor paginates all docs older than 1h.
+- **`sms-delivery-report.integration.test.ts`**:
+  - Valid secret + valid payload for `sent` row → transitions to delivered, clears plaintext.
+  - Valid secret + payload for `abandoned` row → 200, no mutation, structured log `sms.webhook.callback_after_terminal` emitted.
+  - Invalid secret → 401.
+  - Unknown `providerMessageId` → 200 + log.
+
+### 5.4 Rules tests
+
+- Citizen cannot read `sms_outbox`.
+- Responder cannot read `sms_outbox`.
+- Municipal admin **cannot** read `sms_outbox` directly from client in 4a — all admin reads are deferred to a Phase 5 callable. Rule is `allow read: if false` for all client contexts. Server (admin SDK) reads unrestricted.
+- No client can write `sms_outbox`, `sms_provider_health`, or `minute_windows`.
+- Phase 3a tests continue to pass (no regression in existing rule coverage).
+
+### 5.5 E2E (Playwright)
+
+- **`citizen-sms-consent.spec.ts`** — submit report with phone + consent → inbox doc carries `contact.smsConsent=true`.
+- Submit with phone + consent unchecked → form blocks submission.
+- Submit without phone → existing happy path still works.
+
+### 5.6 Acceptance gate (`scripts/phase-4a/acceptance.ts`)
+
+Binary pass/fail. Runs against Firebase emulator (Firestore + Functions + Auth). **All scheduled functions invoked via Firebase Functions test SDK (`wrap()` + `httpsOnRequest`) — no wall-clock waits.**
+
+**Baseline fixture:** `FAKE_SMS_FAIL_PROVIDER=''`, `FAKE_SMS_ERROR_RATE=0`, `FAKE_SMS_LATENCY_MS=10`. Each test's `afterEach` explicitly re-applies these values (never `delete process.env.X`).
+
+1. Bootstrap test users (citizen, muni admin, responder) + test municipality.
+2. Citizen submits report with phone + consent.
+3. Wait for `processInboxItem` to materialize triptych.
+4. Assert `sms_outbox` doc exists with `purpose='receipt_ack'`, `status='queued'`.
+5. Invoke `dispatchSmsOutbox` via test SDK (simulated onDocumentWritten). Assert `status='sent'`, `providerMessageId` set.
+6. POST fake DLR to `smsDeliveryReport` (wrapped via `httpsOnRequest`) with `status='delivered'`. Assert outbox `status='delivered'` + plaintext cleared.
+7. Admin calls `verifyReport` → assert new outbox doc `purpose='verification'`, lifecycle completes.
+8. Admin calls `dispatchResponder` → assert new outbox `purpose='status_update'`.
+9. Admin calls `closeReport` with outcome='resolved' → assert outbox `purpose='resolution'`.
+10. **Failover routing end-to-end.** Both providers start `closed`. Set `FAKE_SMS_FAIL_PROVIDER='semaphore'` and `FAKE_SMS_IMPERSONATE` dynamic (the fake inspects the providerId `pickProvider()` returned and decides whether to throw). Send 15 messages in quick succession, driving Semaphore's minute windows to >30% failure. Invoke `evaluateSmsProviderHealth` via test SDK. Assert `sms_provider_health/semaphore.circuitState='open'` and `sms_provider_health/globelabs.circuitState='closed'`. Enqueue a new message and invoke `dispatchSmsOutbox`. **Assert the outbox doc's `providerId === 'globelabs'` (not `'semaphore'`)** — this verifies `pickProvider()` actually routed to the secondary after the primary tripped, not just that the breaker state updated. Also assert `globelabs` minute windows incremented. `afterEach` restores `FAKE_SMS_FAIL_PROVIDER=''` and resets circuit states to `closed`.
+11. Retry scenario: inject one transient failure via env flag; enqueue → first attempt deferred; invoke `reconcileSmsDeliveryStatus` via test SDK; assert CAS `deferred→queued`; next `dispatchSmsOutbox` invocation succeeds.
+12. Orphan scenario: seed outbox at `status='queued'` with `queuedAt = now - 31m`. Invoke reconcile. Assert `status='abandoned'`.
+13. Callback-after-terminal: seed outbox at `status='abandoned'`. POST valid DLR. Assert 200 + no mutation + `sms.webhook.callback_after_terminal` log line present.
+14. Idempotency: enqueue same `{reportId, purpose}` twice. Assert only one outbox doc.
+15. No-consent path: submit report without consent. Assert no `receipt_ack` outbox doc.
+
+Every test isolates state via emulator reset + uses its own idempotency keys.
+
+### 5.7 Out-of-scope for tests
+
+- Real Semaphore / Globe Labs contract tests — blocked on credentials.
+- Load/throughput testing — pilot traffic is below any relevant ceiling.
+- Sender-ID approval flow — operations task, not code.
+
+### 5.8 Coverage expectations
+
+- 90%+ unit coverage on `shared-validators` additions.
+- 100% rule-test coverage on new `sms_*` collections + subcollections.
+- Zero flaky tests: any test that fails intermittently in CI is a blocker for merge (not a "known flake").
+- New test count estimate: ~75 tests → total rises from ~142 to ~215.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Rollout + rollback
+
+- **Dev emulator first.** All tests in §5 must pass on emulator before staging deploy.
+- **Staging soak:** deploy functions + hosting. Set `SMS_PROVIDER_MODE='fake'`. Run acceptance script. Soak overnight with health metrics visible.
+- **Prod rollout plan (not executed in 4a):** gated on 4b (inbound) + real provider credentials. Phase 4a prod deploy is `SMS_PROVIDER_MODE='fake'` — no user-visible SMS sent. Flip to `'real'` is a separate gated change.
+- **Rollback:** `SMS_PROVIDER_MODE='disabled'` short-circuits `enqueueSms` to a no-op (with a log line, `sms.disabled.skipped`). Redeploy with the env flag — no data migration required.
+
+### 6.1 Schema version policy
+
+- `sms_outbox` and `sms_provider_health` bump from `schemaVersion: 1` to `schemaVersion: 2`. No existing documents carry `schemaVersion: 1` in any environment (verified pre-deploy with a Firestore query — if any are found, staging deploy is blocked).
+- The Zod schema is a discriminated read: documents are parsed with `.passthrough()`-disabled strict mode, and any doc not at `schemaVersion: 2` surfaces a structured log `sms.schema.version_mismatch` and is skipped by downstream triggers. This is the forward-compatibility marker — if Phase 5 bumps to 3, 4a-era triggers skip those docs gracefully rather than crashing on unknown fields.
+- Any future schema change documents its migration in `docs/runbooks/schema-migration.md` alongside the code change.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Open questions deferred to implementation
+
+- Exact Cloud Monitoring metric names + alert thresholds — surface during implementation plan.
+- Whether to extract `sms-encoding.ts` into its own npm-like package vs keeping in `shared-validators` — keep in shared-validators for 4a; extract if 4b needs it standalone.
+- Whether admin queries on `sms_outbox` should be a callable (likely yes, Phase 5).
+
+---
+
+## 8. References
+
+- `prd/bantayog-alert-implementation-plan-v1.0.md` §Phase 4 — pilot blockers #8, #9, #12, #30.
+- `prd/bantayog-alert-architecture-spec-v8.md` §3 — SMS architecture, provider contract, content rules.
