  • Drizzle ORM schema: 518 LOC, 64 type-safe query functions

Strengths:

  • Clean normalized schema with proper FK constraints
  • RLS policies enforce tenant isolation at database level
  • Dual-path architecture (Drizzle + Supabase) enables smooth migration
  • Database indexes added for common query patterns

Gaps:

  • No explicit rollback migrations (low priority)

Remediation: None required - maintaining excellence.

  • Section-level change detection with hash comparison
  • Meaningful change gating (5% threshold)
  • Baseline check invariant enforced (no summary on first check)
  • ✅ E2E test proves full workflow (add URL -> check -> change -> summary)
  • ✅ Meaningful change gating tested in isolation

E2E Tests Added:

  • url-tracking-workflow.test.ts - 6 tests covering baseline, unchanged, changed scenarios
  • meaningful-change-gating.test.ts - 10 tests for 5% threshold enforcement

Gaps:
