S-04 — Week in Review (plain-language summary)

What we did this week: We finished the biggest build sprint in the platform's history — the complete commercialization backlog (every buildable card of the FCT, CAPSRC, INTRQ, claims, and FINMON epics). The flagship work is a working "claims plane": claims with guarded stages (quorum, separation-of-duties, evidence, external checks), automatic notifications, a live event spine, and honest metrics from real data. Then reviewer retro-analysis produced a new consumer + a batch of real production bugs it surfaced.

What we proved live: the full chain create → guarded transition → outbox → relay → event consumer → receipt ran green against production services (no mocks), once across an insurance motor claim and once across a non-insurance community ticket — proving the engine is general, not insurance-specific.

What we found and fixed (all real, shipped):

1. The transition engine used a function that doesn't exist in our database version — the real transition path had never run (only dry-run checks had). Fixed with the correct form; state machine now executes.
2. Identifier strings were quoted wrong in six routes, so ids containing colons broke parsing. Fixed everywhere.
3. Claim events were going to an in-memory store (lost on restart) instead of the durable outbox. Now persisted for real.
4. The durable outbox relay had been erroring every 15 seconds since a silent quoting bug — one bad row froze the whole batch (900+ events queued). Fixed, with crash-proofing so one bad row can never freeze the relay again.
5. Outbox payload mismatched its own table shape, so lifecycle envelopes couldn't consume and reconstruct claim context. Fixed.

Honest leftovers (not bugs, decisions): money movement stays gated (FINMON-16), the TSA/PSAP integrations wait on their customers, and AI hooks stay off in packs by default — turning them on is a product choice, not a technical missing piece.
