# Implementation Sequence: MOPC Architecture Redesign

## Overview

This document defines the complete implementation sequence for the MOPC architecture redesign, broken into **7 sequential phases** with clear dependencies, acceptance criteria, and estimated complexity. The redesign eliminates the Pipeline->Track->Stage abstraction in favor of a streamlined Competition->Round model with explicit jury groups, multi-round submissions, mentoring workspace, and winner confirmation.

### Phasing Principles

1. **Incremental value** — Each phase delivers testable, self-contained functionality
2. **Backward compatibility** — New system runs alongside old until Phase 6
3. **Feature flags** — Gradual rollout controlled by flags
4. **Clear acceptance gates** — No phase progresses without passing criteria
5. **Parallel work streams** — Phases overlap where dependencies allow
6. **Rollback points** — Can stop and revert at any phase boundary

### Duration Estimates

| Phase | Name | Duration | Dependencies | Complexity |
|-------|------|----------|--------------|------------|
| **Phase 0** | Contract Freeze & Preparation | Week 1 | None | Low |
| **Phase 1** | Schema & Runtime Foundation | Weeks 2-3 | Phase 0 | High |
| **Phase 2** | Backend Orchestration | Weeks 3-5 | Phase 1 | High |
| **Phase 3** | Admin Control Plane | Weeks 4-6 | Phase 1, partial Phase 2 | High |
| **Phase 4** | Participant Journeys | Weeks 5-7 | Phase 2, Phase 3 | Medium |
| **Phase 5** | Special Awards & Governance | Weeks 6-7 | Phase 2, Phase 4 | Medium |
| **Phase 6** | Platform-Wide Refit | Weeks 7-8 | All previous | High |
| **Phase 7** | Validation & Release | Weeks 8-9 | All previous | Medium |

Total: **8-9 weeks**

### Critical Path

**Critical path (delays here delay the entire project):**
1. Phase 0 → Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 6 → Phase 7

**Parallel paths (can progress independently):**
- Phase 3 (admin UI) can start once Phase 1 is complete
- Phase 4 (participant UI) needs Phase 2 + Phase 3
- Phase 5 (awards) needs Phase 2 but can run parallel to Phase 4

export async function createTestProjectRoundState(projectId: string, roundId: string, state: ProjectRoundStateValue) {
  return prisma.projectRoundState.create({
    data: {
      projectId,
      roundId,
      state,
    },
  });
}

// Factory: WinnerProposal
export async function createTestWinnerProposal(competitionId: string, category: CompetitionCategory, overrides?: Partial<WinnerProposal>) {
  return prisma.winnerProposal.create({
    data: {
      competitionId,
      category,
      status: overrides?.status || "PENDING",
      rankedProjectIds: overrides?.rankedProjectIds || [],
      sourceRoundId: overrides?.sourceRoundId || "",
      selectionBasis: overrides?.selectionBasis || {},

  await prisma.competition.deleteMany();
}
```

#### 0.4 API Contract Documentation

**File to Create:**
- `docs/claude-architecture-redesign/api-contracts.md`

Document all new tRPC endpoints with input/output shapes (covered in doc 19).

### Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] All TypeScript types compile without errors
- [ ] All Zod schemas validate correctly
- [ ] Feature flags file exists and all flags default to `false`
- [ ] Test helper factories exist for all new models
- [ ] API contract documentation complete
- [ ] Development environment runs without issues
- [ ] All team members have reviewed and approved contracts

### Deliverables

1. `src/types/` directory with all new type definitions
2. `src/lib/feature-flags.ts` with all flags
3. `tests/helpers-redesign.ts` with factory functions
4. API contract documentation
5. Updated `CLAUDE.md` with redesign context

### Risks & Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| Type definitions change during implementation | High | Lock contracts via code review + sign-off |
| Test helpers incomplete | Medium | Review against data model doc systematically |
| Feature flag conflicts | Low | Namespace with `ENABLE_` prefix |

## Phase 1: Schema & Runtime Foundation

**Weeks 2-3**

### Goals

1. Prisma schema migration — add all new tables (Phase 1 of migration)
2. Competition model CRUD
3. Round model CRUD (basic, no type-specific logic yet)
4. JuryGroup and JuryGroupMember CRUD
5. SubmissionWindow CRUD
6. ProjectRoundState basic operations
7. Round engine (simplified state machine)

### Dependencies

- Phase 0 complete

### Tasks

#### 1.1 Prisma Schema Migration (Phase 1 — Additive Only)

**Files to Modify:**
- `prisma/schema.prisma`

**Tasks:**

```bash
# 1.1.1 Create migration
npx prisma migrate dev --name add_competition_round_jury_models --create-only

# 1.1.2 Review generated migration SQL
# Verify:
# - New tables created: Competition, Round, JuryGroup, JuryGroupMember,
#   SubmissionWindow, SubmissionFileRequirement, RoundSubmissionVisibility,
#   ProjectRoundState, AdvancementRule, WinnerProposal, WinnerApproval,
#   MentorFile, MentorFileComment
# - New columns added to existing tables:
#   - Assignment.juryGroupId, Assignment.roundId (alongside stageId)
#   - ProjectFile.submissionWindowId, ProjectFile.requirementId
#   - Project.competitionId
#   - SpecialAward.competitionId, evaluationRoundId, juryGroupId, eligibilityMode
#   - MentorAssignment.workspaceEnabled, workspaceOpenAt, workspaceCloseAt
# - New enums: RoundType, RoundStatus, CompetitionStatus, CapMode, DeadlinePolicy,
#   ProjectRoundStateValue, AdvancementRuleType, AwardEligibilityMode,
#   WinnerProposalStatus, WinnerApprovalRole

# 1.1.3 Apply migration
npx prisma migrate dev

# 1.1.4 Regenerate Prisma client
npx prisma generate
```

**Schema Changes:**

Add all models from doc 03-data-model.md:
- Competition (with enums)
- Round (with enums)
- JuryGroup
- JuryGroupMember
- SubmissionWindow
- SubmissionFileRequirement
- RoundSubmissionVisibility
- ProjectRoundState (with enums)
- AdvancementRule (with enums)
- WinnerProposal (with enums)
- WinnerApproval (with enums)
- MentorFile
- MentorFileComment

Modify existing models:
- Assignment: add `juryGroupId`, `roundId` (keep `stageId` for now)
- ProjectFile: add `submissionWindowId`, `requirementId`
- Project: add `competitionId`
- SpecialAward: add `competitionId`, `evaluationRoundId`, `juryGroupId`, `eligibilityMode`
- MentorAssignment: add `workspaceEnabled`, `workspaceOpenAt`, `workspaceCloseAt`
- User: add relations for jury memberships, mentor files, winner proposals/approvals

#### 1.5 SubmissionWindow CRUD Router

**File to Create:**
- `src/server/routers/submission-window.ts`

Similar structure to jury-group.ts, with create/update/delete/list/getById for SubmissionWindow and SubmissionFileRequirement.

#### 1.6 Round Engine (Simplified State Machine)

**File to Create:**
- `src/server/services/round-engine.ts`

```typescript
import { prisma } from "@/lib/prisma";
import { ProjectRoundStateValue, RoundStatus } from "@prisma/client";
import { TRPCError } from "@trpc/server";

export class RoundEngine {
  // Transition project to a round
  async transitionProjectToRound(

}

export const roundEngine = new RoundEngine();
```

#### 1.7 Register New Routers in App Router

**File to Modify:**
- `src/server/routers/_app.ts`

```typescript
import { competitionRouter } from "./competition";
import { roundRouter } from "./round";
import { juryGroupRouter } from "./jury-group";
import { submissionWindowRouter } from "./submission-window";

export const appRouter = router({
  // ... existing routers
  competition: competitionRouter,
  round: roundRouter,
  juryGroup: juryGroupRouter,
  submissionWindow: submissionWindowRouter,
});
```

#### 1.8 Unit Tests for Phase 1

**Files to Create:**
- `tests/unit/competition.test.ts`
- `tests/unit/round.test.ts`
- `tests/unit/jury-group.test.ts`
- `tests/unit/submission-window.test.ts`
- `tests/unit/round-engine.test.ts`

Example test structure:

```typescript
// tests/unit/competition.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from "vitest";
import { prisma } from "../setup";
import { createTestUser, createTestProgram, createTestCompetition, cleanupTestDataRedesign } from "../helpers-redesign";
import { createCaller } from "../setup";
import { competitionRouter } from "@/server/routers/competition";

describe("Competition Router", () => {
  let adminUser: any;
  let program: any;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    adminUser = await createTestUser({ role: "PROGRAM_ADMIN" });
    program = await createTestProgram();
  });

  afterAll(async () => {
    await cleanupTestDataRedesign();
  });

  it("should create a competition", async () => {
    const caller = createCaller(competitionRouter, adminUser);

    const competition = await caller.create({
      programId: program.id,
      name: "Test Competition 2026",
      slug: "test-comp-2026",
    });

    expect(competition).toBeDefined();
    expect(competition.name).toBe("Test Competition 2026");
    expect(competition.status).toBe("DRAFT");
  });

  it("should list competitions by program", async () => {
    const caller = createCaller(competitionRouter, adminUser);

    const competitions = await caller.listByProgram({ programId: program.id });

    expect(competitions.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
  });

  // ... more tests
});
```

### Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Prisma migration applied successfully
- [ ] All new tables exist in database
- [ ] Competition CRUD works (create, read, update, delete)
- [ ] Round CRUD works
- [ ] JuryGroup CRUD works (create group, add/remove members)
- [ ] SubmissionWindow CRUD works
- [ ] ProjectRoundState can be created and queried
- [ ] Round engine can transition projects between states
- [ ] Round engine can advance projects to next round
- [ ] All unit tests pass (100% coverage for new routers)
- [ ] TypeScript compiles without errors
- [ ] No regressions in existing system (old pipelines still work)

### Deliverables

1. Prisma schema with all new models
2. Applied migration
3. Competition router with full CRUD
4. Round router with full CRUD
5. JuryGroup router with full CRUD
6. SubmissionWindow router with full CRUD
7. Round engine service with state transitions
8. Complete unit test coverage
9. Documentation updates

### Risks & Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| Migration fails on existing data | High | Additive-only migration, no destructive changes |
| Performance issues with new indexes | Medium | Load test with seed data, optimize indexes |
| Type mismatches Prisma vs TypeScript | Low | Regenerate client after each schema change |

---

## Phase 2: Backend Orchestration

**Weeks 3-5**

### Goals

1. Enhanced assignment algorithm with jury groups, caps, quotas
2. Filtering service updates (stageId → roundId)
3. Submission round manager (window locking, deadline enforcement)
4. Mentor workspace service (file upload, comments, promotion)
5. Winner confirmation service (proposals, approvals, freeze)
6. Live control enhancements (category windows)

### Dependencies

- Phase 1 complete

### Tasks

#### 2.1 Enhanced Assignment Service

**File to Modify:**
- `src/server/services/stage-assignment.ts` → rename to `src/server/services/round-assignment.ts`

**New Features:**
1. **Jury group awareness** — Generate assignments respecting juryGroupId
2. **Hard/soft caps** — Enforce per-juror max assignments with buffer
3. **Category quotas** — Respect min/max quotas per category
4. **Juror preferences** — Factor in preferredStartupRatio

```typescript
// src/server/services/round-assignment.ts
import { prisma } from "@/lib/prisma";
import { AssignmentMethod, CapMode } from "@prisma/client";

interface AssignmentConfig {
  roundId: string;
  juryGroupId: string;
  requiredReviewsPerProject: number;
}

      where: {
        roundId,
        state: { in: ["PENDING", "IN_PROGRESS"] },
      },
      include: { project: true },
    });

    const projects = projectRoundStates.map((prs) => prs.project);

    // 3. Get existing assignments
    const existingAssignments = await prisma.assignment.findMany({
      where: { roundId, juryGroupId },
    });

    // 4. Calculate caps per juror
    const jurorCaps = juryGroup.members.map((member) => {
      const maxAssignments =

        preferredStartupRatio: member.preferredStartupRatio,
        currentCount: existingAssignments.filter((a) => a.userId === member.userId).length,
      };
    });

    // 5. Generate assignments using algorithm (AI or round-robin)
    const newAssignments = [];

  }
}

export const roundAssignmentService = new RoundAssignmentService();
```

#### 2.2 Filtering Service Updates

**File to Modify:**
- `src/server/services/stage-filtering.ts` → keep name, just update references

**Changes:**
1. Replace `stageId` with `roundId` in all queries
2. Update FilteringJob, FilteringResult, FilteringRule to use roundId

This is mostly a search-and-replace task with careful testing.

#### 2.3 Submission Round Manager Service

**File to Create:**
- `src/server/services/submission-round-manager.ts`

```typescript
import { prisma } from "@/lib/prisma";

## Rollback Points

### Phase 0-1: Low Risk
- Feature flags off → old system still operational
- Rollback: Drop new tables, revert code

### Phase 2: Medium Risk
- Services not yet exposed to users
- Rollback: Disable feature flags, revert code

### Phase 3-4: Medium Risk
- New UIs available but optional
- Rollback: Hide admin pages, disable routes

### Phase 5: High Risk
- Winner confirmation in use
- Rollback: Complex (may need data export/import)

### Phase 6: CRITICAL — Point of No Return
- After old tables dropped, rollback requires full database restore
- **Do not proceed with Phase 6 until Phases 1-5 fully validated**

### Phase 7: Production
- Rollback: Restore database backup, revert deployment

## Risk Register (All Phases)

| Risk | Phase | Impact | Probability | Mitigation |
|------|-------|--------|-------------|------------|
| Schema migration fails | 1 | Critical | Low | Additive-only, test on staging |
| Performance degradation | 2 | High | Medium | Benchmark early, optimize queries |
| Admin UI too complex | 3 | Medium | Medium | User testing, iterative refinement |
| Participant confusion | 4 | Medium | High | Clear messaging, onboarding tooltips |
| Award logic bugs | 5 | High | Medium | Extensive testing, audit logging |
| Missed legacy references | 6 | Critical | Medium | Comprehensive search, strict TypeScript |
| Production migration fails | 7 | Critical | Low | Staging rehearsal, backup plan |
| UAT uncovers blockers | 7 | High | Medium | Allow 2-week buffer for fixes |

## Conclusion

This 7-phase implementation plan provides a clear, dependency-aware path from contract freeze to production release. Each phase has defined goals, tasks, acceptance criteria, and deliverables. The critical path is 7 weeks, with parallel work streams extending to 8-9 weeks total.

**Key success factors:**
1. **Strict acceptance gates** — Don't advance until criteria met
2. **Incremental testing** — Test each phase thoroughly before proceeding
3. **Feature flags** — Gradual rollout reduces risk
4. **Staging validation** — Rehearse migrations and deployments
5. **Clear rollback plan** — Know how to revert at each stage

**Next steps:**
1. Review and approve this implementation plan
2. Begin Phase 0 (contract freeze)
3. Set up project tracking (Jira, Linear, etc.)
4. Schedule weekly checkpoint meetings
5. Begin development with Phase 1
