# Backend Phase 6 — Nurse verification & credentials (mocked vendors) — report

**Status:** complete · build clean (0 new code warnings) · `dotnet test Baya.sln` green (**153 pass**).
**Vendors are mocked** (three new DI seams + reused b3/b0 seams) — see [What is mocked](#what-is-mocked).

## What was built
The trust engine the whole marketplace gates on — a data-driven verification pipeline, the admin review
queue, the structured credential registry, the transactional `nurse_profiles.is_verified` flip, an
admin-triggered credential-expiry scanner, and the public trust badge. One additive migration (new **`verif`**
schema, **5 tables**), **15 endpoints across 4 controllers**, and **3 new mock vendor seams**.

- **Schema** (new **`verif`** schema): `nurse_verifications` (the header; `status` = the **single source of
  verification truth**), `verification_step_types` (the seeded catalog of possible steps),
  `verification_steps` (one per required step-type per nurse; snapshots `is_automated`),
  `verification_documents` (metadata only — **bytes never in the DB**), `nurse_credentials`
  (`credential_number` **encrypted**, never serialized). `nurse_profiles.is_verified` is the **only derived
  boolean**, flipped **only inside the finalize transaction**.
- **Six seeded, stable step-type codes:** `identity_kyc`, `shahkar_match`, `moh_competency_license`,
  `ino_membership`, `criminal_record`, `bank_account_verification` (three of them credential-bearing).
- **Nurse pipeline** (`NurseVerificationController`, `[Authorize]` + nurse role in handler, tenancy-scoped):
  `submit` (upsert header + seed one step per active required step-type; **idempotent**), `GET` status (the
  checklist + aggregate + `blockingSteps` + `isBookable`), `upload_url` / `documents` (manual steps →
  `in_review`), and three automated `/run` endpoints — `identity_kyc` (populates `users.national_id` +
  `national_id_verified_at`), `shahkar_match` (requires KYC; **shared-SIM = explicit handled failure** →
  `shared_sim` alert; sets `shahkar_verified_at`), `bank_account_verification` (reuses the b3
  `IBankAccountOwnershipVerifier`; **money-mule guard** — holder national id must equal the verified nurse
  national id; on match sets `matched_national_id=1`).
- **Admin step-type catalog** (`AdminVerificationStepTypesController`, dynamic-permission, `sensitive`
  rate-limit): cached list (generation token), upsert (snake_case `code`, immutable once in use, dup →
  **409**), deactivate (`is_active=false`, **never hard delete**).
- **Admin review** (`AdminVerificationsController`, dynamic-permission, `sensitive` rate-limit): queue
  (`in_review` default; docs carry **signed GET URLs**), case detail (steps + docs + credentials + identity
  name), `decide` (manual steps; on approving a credential-bearing step records an **encrypted**
  `nurse_credentials` row, **holder-name cross-check** vs identity → mismatch **400** with no credential,
  `criminal_record` requires `expiresAt`; writes an `audit_logs` record; **re-aggregates**, may flip
  `is_verified`), `suspend` (`status=suspended` + **reverse `is_verified=0` in one transaction** + audit),
  and `scan_expiring` (reverts lapsed steps → `expired`, `verification_expired` alert +
  `verification_expiry_prompt` notification, re-gates bookability).
- **Public trust badge** (`NursesController`, `[AllowAnonymous]`): `GET nurses/{id}/trust_badge` returns
  `isVerified` + `approvedAt` + the **credential TYPES held** (never numbers); cached (short TTL, evicted on
  suspension/expiry/decision); `404` unknown nurse.
- **The scan logic ships** as `ScanExpiringCredentialsCommand`; the **scheduled cron is deferred** — the
  admin `scan_expiring` endpoint is the entry point (config `verification_expiry_scan_cadence_hours`, int,
  default `24`).

## What is now testable — and exactly how (the phase §7 steps)
Run the API (`dotnet run --project src/API/Baya.Web.Api/...`) against a reachable SQL Server; use Swagger/curl.
The seam mocks are **deterministic** — use the test national ids / IBAN / phone below.
1. **Open the checklist** — as a nurse (with a b3 nurse profile), `POST /api/v1/nurse_verification/submit`
   → `200`; `GET /api/v1/nurse_verification` → `status: "pending"`, `isBookable: false`, one seeded step per
   active required step-type, each with its `isAutomated`.
2. **Identity KYC passes** — `POST /api/v1/nurse_verification/steps/identity_kyc/run`
   `{ "nationalId": "1234567891" }` → `stepStatus: "passed"`; the nurse's `users.national_id` +
   `national_id_verified_at` are populated. The configured fail id `0000000000` → `stepStatus: "failed"` +
   `failureReason` (still `200`).
3. **Shahkar match** — `POST /api/v1/nurse_verification/steps/shahkar_match/run` (no body) → `passed`;
   `shahkar_verified_at` set. A nurse on the shared-SIM phone `09120000000` → **handled failure** + a
   `shared_sim` support alert row. Running it **before** KYC → **400**.
4. **Bank ownership** — with a **primary** `nurse_bank_accounts` row (b3),
   `POST /api/v1/nurse_verification/steps/bank_account_verification/run` → on match sets
   `matched_national_id=1`; the mismatch IBAN `IR000000000000000000000000` → failed. No primary account → **400**.
5. **Manual document upload** — for a credential step, `POST steps/{stepId}/upload_url`
   `{ "contentType": "application/pdf" }` → `{ objectStorageKey, uploadUrl }`; PUT the bytes to `uploadUrl`;
   `POST steps/{stepId}/documents` `{ objectStorageKey, integrityHash, contentType, fileSizeBytes }` → the
   step moves to `in_review` and a metadata row is stored (no bytes in the DB). An automated step rejects the
   upload → **400**.
6. **Admin review queue** — as admin, `GET /api/v1/admin_verifications` (default `status=in_review`) →
   the pending step with **signed GET URLs** on its documents; `GET /api/v1/admin_verifications/{id}` → the
   full case incl. the identity name for cross-check.
7. **Approve a credential** — `POST /api/v1/admin_verifications/steps/{stepId}/decide`
   `{ approve: true, credentialNumber, holderName: "<verified identity name>", issuingAuthority, issuedAt }`
   → records an **encrypted** credential (`credentialId` returned; the number is never serialized back),
   writes an audit record, re-aggregates. A **holder-name mismatch → 400** with **no** credential recorded;
   a `criminal_record` approval **without `expiresAt` → 400**; `approve:false` without `rejectionReason` →
   **400**.
8. **is_verified flips** — once every required step is `passed`/`approved`, the re-aggregate flips
   `nurse_profiles.is_verified=1` **in one transaction**; `GET /api/v1/nurse_verification` now reads
   `status: "approved"`, `isBookable: true`.
9. **Public trust badge** — `GET /api/v1/nurses/{nurseId}/trust_badge` → `isVerified: true`, `approvedAt`,
   `credentialTypes: ["moh_competency_license", …]` (**types only**, never numbers). Unknown nurse → **404**.
10. **Suspend & expiry** — `POST /api/v1/admin_verifications/{id}/suspend` `{ reason }` sets
    `status=suspended` and **reverses `is_verified=0`** in one transaction (+ audit); the trust badge
    updates. `POST /api/v1/admin_verifications/scan_expiring` reverts lapsed time-limited steps to `expired`,
    raises a `verification_expired` alert + `verification_expiry_prompt` notification, and re-gates
    bookability (`ScanExpiringResult{ scannedSteps, revertedNurses }`).

## What is mocked / waiting on a real service
Three **new** seams (all deterministic, all mocked here) + three **reused** seams:
- `IShahkarVerifier` → `MockShahkarVerifier` — phone↔national-id match: **pass** unless the shared-SIM phone
  `09120000000` (→ shared-SIM handled failure) or the mismatch national id `1111111111`. Registry row:
  `IShahkarVerifier` in [`mocks-registry.md`](mocks-registry.md).
- `IIdentityKycProvider` → `MockIdentityKycProvider` — national-id + liveness: passes any well-formed 10-digit
  national id **except** the configured fail id `0000000000`. Registry row: `IIdentityKycProvider`.
- `ICredentialVerifier` → `MockCredentialVerifier` — MoH/INO/criminal-record: the manual-admin default
  (always `RequiresManualReview` / `verification_method=manual`). Registry row: `ICredentialVerifier`.
- **Reused:** `IBankAccountOwnershipVerifier` (b3 — mismatch IBAN `IR000000000000000000000000`),
  `IObjectStorage` (b0 — local-disk signed PUT/GET URLs), `IFieldEncryptor` (b0 — encrypts
  `credential_number`).

## Contracts
- **Produced:** [`dev/contracts/domains/verification.md`](../../contracts/domains/verification.md) (all 15
  routes, DTO shapes, the four enums, failure cases, side effects, mock test values, worked example).
  `swagger.v1.json` **refreshed** — [`dev/contracts/openapi/swagger.v1.json`](../../contracts/openapi/swagger.v1.json)
  includes all 15 b6 endpoints.
- **Consumed:** `nurse_profiles` + `IBankAccountOwnershipVerifier` (b3), `users.national_id` /
  `shahkar_verified_at` (b2), `IObjectStorage` / `IFieldEncryptor` / `ICacheService` / CQRS /
  `OperationResult` / `BaseController` (b0), dynamic-permission + `support_alerts` / `notifications` /
  `audit_logs` + `sensitive` rate-limit (b1).

## Docs updated
- New contract `dev/contracts/domains/verification.md`; openapi snapshot refreshed.
- Handoff `backend/handoff/after-backend-phase-6.md`; status log `backend/STATUS.md` (append).
- The three b6 seams (`IShahkarVerifier`, `IIdentityKycProvider`, `ICredentialVerifier`) are the
  pre-listed rows in `reports/mocks-registry.md` — now realized as seam + fake impl.

## Follow-ups for later phases
- **Scheduled expiry cron** — a `CredentialExpiryScannerJob` hosted scheduler that calls the shipped
  `ScanExpiringCredentialsCommand` on `verification_expiry_scan_cadence_hours` cadence. **Deferred** — the
  admin `scan_expiring` endpoint is the manual entry point today.
- **Automated MoH/INO license lookup** — behind `ICredentialVerifier` (`verification_method=api`) once a
  portal exists. **Deferred.**
- **`fraud_flags` / ML fraud scoring** — **deferred.**
- **Professional-liability-insurance step** — addable later as a `verification_step_types` row (no schema
  change). **Deferred.**
- **b7 (search & matching)** — reads `nurse_profiles.is_verified` for `nurse_search_index.is_searchable`;
  b6 owns the flip, b7 owns the index.
