fix: mobile topbar overflow at 421-440px and add trilingual responsive coverage

The 420px "compact topbar" breakpoint left a gap: at 421-440px the demo-guide trigger,
badge, operator block and logout button together overflowed the viewport (introduced by
this session's language-switcher addition). Widen the breakpoint to 440px.

Adds a dedicated Playwright spec asserting no horizontal overflow across the brief's full
7-breakpoint matrix (1440x1000 down to 360x800) in all three supported languages.

+## Functional completion pass (branch `feat/mobilityops-functional-completion`)
+
+Branched from `design/mobilityops-premium-ui` @ `54dc952`. Full audit at
+`docs/functional-completion/current-functional-audit.md`; server baseline captured before
+any change at `docs/functional-completion/server-baseline.md`.
+
+### Batch 1 — complete (commits `938a739`..`bdc58f3`)
+
+- Fixed the two confirmed list-rendering defects: Vehicles and Bookings both computed a
+  filtered/paginated result but rendered the raw unfiltered array in the table body.
+- Added server-backed session lifecycle: `GET /api/v1/demo/session` (Cache-Control:
+  no-store — a cached 200 was making logout intermittently fail to redirect in e2e
+  testing), `POST /api/v1/demo/logout`. `AuthContext` now verifies against the server on
+  every mount instead of trusting `sessionStorage`, and a central 401 listener on the API
+  client clears auth state from any endpoint.
+- Enforced the brief's role matrix: data-quality (list/detail/defer/reject) and the audit
+  trail were reachable by Rental Employee with no gate beyond authentication (confirmed
+  live via curl before the fix). Both are now `require_operations_manager`-gated
+  server-side, with matching nav-hiding and a restricted-message fallback for direct URL
+  access, and the dashboard no longer links into those areas for that role.
+- Discovered and fixed a latent e2e-suite bug while testing against the real server: all
+  three spec files hardcoded `http://localhost:8128` for their demo-reset helpers, so
+  pointing the suite at Unraid via `MOBILITYOPS_PUBLIC_URL` silently kept resetting the
+  *local* dev database instead. Switched to relative paths so the configured `baseURL` is
+  honoured.
+- Local evidence: `pytest` 75 passed, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` 0 issues/44 files,
+  `npx tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean, `npx playwright test` **25 passed** (up from
+  19 — 6 new tests this batch), stable across three repeated full-suite runs.
+- Deployed to Unraid (`.deploy/source-revision` = `bdc58f396e99caaf6ef657bb110b479981cc7793`,
+  matches `git rev-parse HEAD` on the feature branch), migrations unchanged at
+  `e7b08389f47f (head)` (no schema change this batch), demo reset run. Re-verified live:
+  role-gate curl checks (403/200/401 as expected) and the full 25-test Playwright suite
+  run with `MOBILITYOPS_PUBLIC_URL=http://192.168.10.150:1236` — **25 passed** against the
+  actual deployment, not just localhost.
+- Exact next action: Batch 2 — authoritative return-preview endpoint shared with commit,
+  and expose `before`/`after` on the audit API + UI.
+
+### Batch 2 — complete (commits `f521295`, `7e34f55`)
+
+- Added `evaluate_return()` (pure, no writes) in `returns.py`, extracted from what
+  `register_vehicle_return` already computed inline; `register_vehicle_return` now calls
+  it instead of duplicating the logic. New non-mutating `POST
+  /api/v1/bookings/{ref}/return-preview` uses the same function, so preview and commit
+  cannot drift.
+- Fixed a real defect this surfaced: `ReturnForm.tsx`'s review step guessed the outcome
+  client-side and got the domain rule wrong — it said damage/technical-warning routes to
+  `maintenance` (actual rule: `blocked`) and the no-contradiction case becomes
+  `available` (actual rule: always `cleaning` first, `maintenance` only past the service
+  threshold). The review step now calls `/return-preview` and renders the server's
+  `resulting_vehicle_status` + `status_reason` verbatim.
+- Result screen now distinguishes local commit success from n8n delivery ("queued... not
+  yet confirmed" instead of implying both succeeded) and links to any created
+  data-quality issue for Operations Manager.
+- Exposed `before`/`after` on `AuditEventOut` (the DB columns already existed but were
+  never serialized) plus a resolved `entity_ref`/`entity_link` for vehicle/booking/
+  data-quality-issue entities. `Audit.tsx` now shows a human-readable change summary per
+  row with raw JSON behind a `<details>` disclosure instead of always-visible JSON.
+- New regression coverage: backend — preview performs no writes (asserted via audit/
+  outbox row counts before vs. after), detects odometer regression, detects service-due,
+  detects next-booking risk, requires an active booking, and matches the commit result;
+  audit — before/after and entity link exposed for both `return_registered` and
+  `vehicle_status_changed`. Frontend — preview correctly reports `blocked` (not
+  `maintenance`) for damage, commit request only fires after confirm (updated to also
+  assert exactly one preview call), audit page shows before/after and a safe link.
+- Local evidence: `pytest` 81 passed, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` 0 issues/44 files,
+  `npx tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean, `npx playwright test` **27 passed**, stable
+  across two repeated full-suite runs.
+- Deployed to Unraid and re-verified; demo data reset afterward.
+- Exact next action: Batch 3 — data-quality workbench (typed snapshots, bounded
+  resolution flows for all 5 rule types, manual scan UI).
+
+### Batch 3 — complete (commits `6e227a2`, `477b5e7`)
+
+- Typed related-entity snapshots by the reference's own prefix (CUS-/MO-/BK-/INSP-)
+  instead of inferring from `rule_type`. Fixed a real gap this exposed: a
+  `booking_overlap` issue's related refs are bookings, but `get_issue` always resolved
+  them as vehicles, so `_snapshot()` silently returned nothing for them.
+- Added one bounded resolution endpoint per remaining rule type: `provide-fields`
+  (missing_required_field; re-runs the check, resolves only once nothing required is
+  missing), `resolve-odometer-regression` (retain canonical or correct the reading —
+  correction is rejected if it would still be below canonical), `resolve-overlap`
+  (blocks one of the two bookings, re-verifies no overlap remains — found and fixed an
+  autoflush=False bug where the re-verification query didn't see the just-blocked
+  booking's in-memory status change), `apply-recommended-status` (one authoritative
+  recommendation function mirroring the scan's own conflict conditions, re-validated
+  after applying). `possible_duplicate_customer` already had merge; all five rule types
+  now have a real bounded resolution path, not just generic defer/reject.
+- Reintroduced evidence after a non-open decision links the new issue back to the prior
+  one (`evidence.reopened_from` / `previous_decision`) per the documented lifecycle
+  ("reintroduced evidence creates a new issue linked to the prior issue").
+- `DataQualityIssueDetail.tsx` rewritten: a typed panel per rule type instead of a raw
+  `JSON.stringify` dump for four of five types; raw evidence moved behind a `<details>`
+  disclosure. Added a "Run quality scan" action to the workbench (confirmation,
+  progress, per-rule result counts, auto-refresh) — the scan endpoint already existed
+  with no UI trigger.
+- New regression coverage: backend — one resolution test per rule type plus the
+  role-gate/validation-rejection paths and the recurrence-linking behavior (reject an
+  issue, rescan, assert the new issue links back). Frontend — one Playwright test per
+  resolution flow plus the manual scan trigger.
+- Local evidence: `pytest` 96 passed, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` 0 issues/44 files,
+  `npx tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean, `npx playwright test` **32 passed**, stable
+  across two repeated full-suite runs.
+- Deployed to Unraid and re-verified against the live server; demo data reset afterward.
+- Exact next action: Batch 4 — global search backend + UI, demo reset UI trigger,
+  truthful aggregate integration status (n8n/RAGcore/MCP).
+
+### Batch 4 — complete (commits `4437b87`, `1867828`)
+
+- Added `GET /api/v1/search` — bounded typed results (vehicle/booking/data-quality-issue/
+  section), role-filtered server-side (data-quality and manager-only sections excluded
+  for Rental Employee), customers never returned (no customer detail route exists).
+  Replaced `Layout.tsx`'s blind client-side regex/term guesser with a debounced
+  (250 ms) call to this endpoint, a real `role="listbox"` results panel, arrow-key
+  navigation, Enter/Escape, outside-click close, and a no-results state.
+- Added `GET /api/v1/integrations/status`, aggregating outbox delivery counts into one
+  truthful n8n state (`disabled`/`unavailable`/`degraded`/`operational`/`no_evidence`)
+  instead of the dashboard/automation cards showing whichever status the single most
+  recent event happened to be in. Wired into both `Automation.tsx` and `Dashboard.tsx`.
+  MCP Hub card now reflects the real `registration_enabled` setting.
+- Found and fixed a real config gap this surfaced: `MCP_HUB_REGISTRATION_ENABLED` was
+  documented in `.env.example` but had no `Settings` field, so it was silently dropped
+  by `extra="ignore"` and never read anywhere in the codebase.
+- Added a "Reset demo data" action to the sidebar (Operations Manager only, confirm,
+  progress, error handling) — the endpoint already existed and was already gated, just
+  had no UI trigger. Reset invalidates the acting session server-side, so the flow signs
+  the user out and returns to login.
+- New regression coverage: backend — search role-filtering/customer-exclusion/no-match,
+  integration-status role-gate and state-derivation (including a test that resolves all
+  seeded failures and asserts the state flips to `operational`). Frontend — vehicle/
+  booking/data-quality-issue search navigation, keyboard nav, no-results + Escape, demo
+  reset happy path, rental employee cannot see the reset button, automation page shows
+  aggregate counts.
+- Local evidence: `pytest` 109 passed, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` 0 issues/46 files,
+  `npx tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean, `npx playwright test` **37 passed**, stable
+  across two repeated full-suite runs.
+- Deployed to Unraid and re-verified against the live server; demo data reset afterward.
+- Exact next action: Batch 5 — bounded outbox delivery-lease recovery for stale
+  `delivering` events, a second (scheduled quality-scan) n8n workflow, final
+  documentation/contract updates and acceptance evidence.
+
+### Batch 5 — complete (commits `ec8f809`, `e115031`, `c981aad`, `824048b`)
+
+- Fixed a real gap: `_claim_due_events` flipped rows to `delivering` and committed
+  before the HTTP call, with no reclaim path if the process died before the outcome was
+  recorded. Each claim now gets a lease deadline (`n8n_delivery_lease_seconds`, default
+  120s, reusing the `next_attempt_at` column) and `run_dispatch_cycle()` sweeps expired
+  leases back to `pending` before claiming new work; `attempts` is preserved, and a
+  still-alive worker's unexpired lease is never touched.
+- Added the second n8n workflow: `POST /api/v1/integrations/n8n/scheduled-scan`
+  (service-token protected, same pattern as the return callback) running the same
+  `run_scan()` the manual UI action uses, audited with `actor_type=service`.
+  `n8n/mobilityops-scheduled-quality-scan.json` (hourly + manual-test trigger) ships
+  `"active": false`. Live-verified twice: executed end-to-end via the Manual test
+  trigger against the **local** n8n instance (full green execution, confirmed via the
+  resulting `data_quality_scan_run` audit event), and published + directly
+  curl-round-tripped against the **shared Unraid n8n** and its live API
+  (`deploy/unraid/setup-scheduled-scan.sh`). The shared instance's own UI could not be
+  browser-tested directly — it runs `N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=true` and refuses login over the
+  plain-HTTP LAN URL, which is correct/expected shared-infrastructure behaviour, not
+  something this task should change.
+- Updated `contracts/openapi.yaml` and `docs/05-api-contract.md` with every endpoint
+  added across all five batches; `docs/07-data-quality.md`, `docs/08-return-workflow.md`
+  and `docs/12-security-and-audit.md` now describe the actual resolution flows, the
+  preview/commit relationship, the role matrix and the audit before/after exposure.
+  Corrected `docs/07-data-quality.md`'s lifecycle description to match the
+  already-implemented `(rule_type, entity_type, entity_id)` idempotency key (no evidence
+  fingerprint) and documented the `reopened_from`/`previous_decision` recurrence link.
+  `README.md`'s scope/integration-status/quality-gate sections updated to match.
+- Local evidence: `pytest` **117 passed**, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` 0 issues/46
+  files, `npx tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean, `npx playwright test` **37 passed**.
+- **Clean-checkout drill** (section 14): fresh `git clone` of this branch into an
+  isolated scratch directory, `.env` from `.env.example`, isolated Compose project name
+  and remapped host ports (no shared state with the working stack), `up --build -d`
+  from empty volumes → migrations ran automatically → seed → full backend gate (117
+  passed, ruff clean, mypy clean) → `npm ci` (clean; the pre-existing esbuild-moderate/
+  react-router-RSC-high advisories are unchanged, not new) → `tsc -b`/`vite build` clean
+  → full Playwright suite **37 passed** against the isolated stack. Torn down afterward
+  (`down -v` on the isolated project only; the working dev stack was never touched).
+- Deployed to Unraid; migrations unchanged at `e7b08389f47f (head)`. Full 37-test
+  Playwright suite re-run against `http://192.168.10.150:1236` — **37 passed**. Demo
+  data reset afterward.
+- Exact next action: none — all five batches are implemented, tested locally (including
+  a genuine clean-checkout drill), committed, pushed, deployed to Unraid and
+  re-verified against the live server after every batch. See
+  `artifacts/functional-completion/final-summary.md` for the definitive acceptance
+  evidence.
+
+## Demo productization (in progress, same branch `feat/mobilityops-functional-completion`)
+
+Follows the functional-completion work above; turns the now feature-complete PoC into a
+guided, honestly-labelled demo (fictional org "Northstar Mobility", guided tour, 5 named
+scenarios, demo manifest, About page). Gap audit: `docs/demo-release/current-demo-gap-audit.md`.
+
+### Batch 1 — seed date anchoring (complete)
+
+- **Real bug fixed**: `seed/bookings.csv` etc. store absolute ISO timestamps authored
+  around a fixed anchor (`2026-08-01`). Nothing previously re-anchored them at seed/reset
+  time, so scenario bookings (e.g. `BK-DEMO-RETURN`) silently drifted into the past every
+  day the environment wasn't reset. `dashboard.py::_today()` compounded this by filtering
+  "today's movements" against the same frozen `demo_today` setting instead of real time.
+- Fix: `seed_loader.py` now computes `shift = today - SEED_AUTHORED_ANCHOR` once per
+  `load_seed()` call and applies it to every seeded booking/inspection/maintenance/outbox
+  datetime column, so scenarios stay "today"/"near-future" relative to the actual reset
+  moment. `SeedResult` now also carries `anchor_date`/`seeded_at`; `POST /api/v1/demo/reset`
+  returns them; a `demo_data_seeded` audit event records the anchor for traceability.
+  `dashboard.py::_today()` switched from the frozen `demo_today` setting to real wall-clock
+  UTC date. The now-dead `demo_today` setting/env var was removed from `config.py`,
+  `compose.yaml`, `.env`, `.env.example` (nothing else referenced it).
+- Added seed-validation tests (`backend/tests/test_seed.py`) proving S1 (`BK-DEMO-RETURN`/
+  `MO-024`), S2 (`CUS-0012`/`CUS-0178`/`DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`), S4 (`MO-016`/
+  `BK-DEMO-OVERLAP-A`/`-B`/`DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP`) and S5 (seeded failed outbox event
+  `00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000020`, confirmed genuinely `failed` immediately after a
+  fresh reset, not silently auto-healed by the background dispatcher since it only claims
+  `pending` rows) are fully present after every reset, plus a dedicated anchoring test
+  asserting the shift and the audit marker.
+- Live-verified locally: reseeded and confirmed via `psql` that `BK-DEMO-RETURN` now ends
+  today and `BK-DEMO-NEXT`/overlap bookings sit in the near future (today = 2026-08-03).
+- Evidence: `pytest` **122 passed** (117 + 5 new/expanded seed tests), `ruff check .`
+  clean, `mypy app` clean (46 files, canonical `make` scope).
+- Deployed to Unraid (commit `8989ffb`): pushed to Gitea, `git archive` tarball extracted
+  over `/mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops` preserving `.env`/volumes, `api` rebuilt (`db`/`web`
+  untouched — no frontend changes this batch), migrations confirmed at `e7b08389f47f
+  (head)`, reseeded, live-verified via `psql` that `BK-DEMO-RETURN`/`BK-DEMO-NEXT`/overlap
+  bookings sit at the same real-time-relative positions as local. `curl` to
+  `http://192.168.10.150:1236/` returns 200.
+- Exact next action: `GET /api/v1/demo/manifest` + Dutch demo entry screen + permanent
+  demo badge (task #30), then the Demo Guide + scenario overview (task #31).
+
+### Batch 2 — demo manifest, Dutch demo entry, permanent demo badge, About page (complete)
+
+- `GET /api/v1/demo/manifest` (unauthenticated): single source of truth for demo org
+  identity, synthetic-data flag, reset allowance/timestamp/anchor date, guide
+  availability, and the 5 named scenarios with **live** readiness (queries the actual
+  `BK-DEMO-RETURN`/`DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`/`DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP`/seeded-failed-event/knowledge-
+  provider records — not hardcoded), plus plain-language integration summaries. Backed by
+  new `backend/app/services/demo_manifest.py`. Refactored the n8n status derivation out of
+  `integration_status.py` into a shared `services/integration_status.py` so the manifest
+  and the existing authenticated `/integrations/status` endpoint reuse one implementation.
+- New settings (`backend/app/core/config.py`, wired through `compose.yaml`/`.env.example`):
+  `DEMO_ORGANIZATION_NAME` (default "Northstar Mobility" — surfaces the project's already-
+  locked fictitious tenant, previously only used internally as the `ragcore_tenant` slug),
+  `DEMO_TIMEZONE`, `DEMO_ALLOW_RESET` (a safety valve — `false` makes `POST
+  /api/v1/demo/reset` return 403 regardless of role; the now-dead `demo_today` setting
+  removed in Batch 1 stays removed).
+- Rewrote `Login.tsx` in Dutch: names the fictional org, one-sentence explanation sourced
+  from the manifest, no password shown/copyable anywhere, "Start begeleide demo" primary
+  CTA (logs in as Operations Manager, navigates to `/dashboard?guide=start` for task #31 to
+  consume) plus "Verken als Operations Manager"/"Verken als Rental Employee" secondary
+  actions. Added a permanent demo badge (topbar pill + popover: synthetic notice,
+  "workflows are real" reassurance, last-reset timestamp, link to `/about`) replacing the
+  old full-width static `.demo-banner` bar — subtle by design per the brief, not a warning
+  bar. New `/about`
+  page (`AboutDemo.tsx`) covering the fictional problem, what's really implemented, what's
+  synthetic, honest per-integration labels (via the manifest), and a reset pointer —
+  reachable from the badge popover, not added to primary nav (preserves the existing Control
+  Rail nav per the "not a redesign" constraint). Frontend nav/design otherwise untouched.
+- Evidence: `pytest` **127 passed**, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` clean (48 files);
+  frontend `tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean; full Playwright suite **41 passed**
+  (37 existing + 4 new `demo-entry.spec.ts` covering entry copy/no-password, guided-demo
+  login redirect, badge popover content + About link, and Escape/outside-click close).
+  Updated stale English login-button aria-labels and login-copy assertions across the
+  existing specs to match the new Dutch copy.
+- Deployed to Unraid (commit `ac427f4`): pushed to Gitea, `git archive` tarball extracted
+  preserving `.env`/volumes, both `api` and `web` rebuilt (frontend changed this batch),
+  both healthy, migrations unchanged, reseeded. Live-verified: `GET
+  /api/v1/demo/manifest` returns `organization_name: "Northstar Mobility"`,
+  `allow_reset: true`, and all 5 scenarios `ready: true` right after reset. Ran
+  `demo-entry.spec.ts` (4 tests) and the five-minute demo script directly against
+  `http://192.168.10.150:1236` — **5/5 passed**. Reseeded again afterward to leave the
+  server demo-ready.
+- Exact next action: Demo Guide (collapsible panel, 8 steps) + scenario overview (5 cards
+  on the dashboard, consuming `/api/v1/demo/manifest`'s `scenarios` array) — task #31.
+
+### Batch 3 — Demo Guide + scenario overview (complete)
+
+- New `/scenarios` page (`Scenarios.tsx`): all 5 named scenarios as cards (title,
+  operational problem, duration, required role(s), "toont aan", ready/blocked status
+  from the manifest, "Start scenario" linking to the live `start_path`). Dashboard gets
+  one compact "Probeer een demonstratiescenario" panel (not 5 more cards — keeps the
+  existing dashboard uncluttered per the brief) showing readiness count and, for
+  Operations Managers, a guide resume/start control.
+- New Demo Guide: `DemoGuideContext` (sessionStorage-persisted `currentIndex`/`completed`
+  set — browser-only, never touches auth or business logic), 8 static steps
+  (`data/demoGuideSteps.ts`) each with what-you'll-see/why/start-action/expected-outcome,
+  resolving live routes from the manifest for the two scenario-backed steps (return,
+  duplicate-merge) so they can't drift from actual records. `DemoGuide.tsx` renders a
+  fixed side panel (desktop) that becomes a bottom sheet at ≤700px via CSS only (no
+  layout duplication); `DemoGuideTrigger` (topbar, Operations-Manager-only — the 8 steps
+  require OM throughout) shows a live `completed/8` pill. "Demo opnieuw voorbereiden"
+  calls the real reset endpoint, resets guide progress, and returns to `/login` (mirrors
+  the existing sidebar reset flow). Login's "Start begeleide demo" logs in as OM and
+  passes a one-shot `?guide=start` marker the dashboard consumes once then strips.
+- Fixed a real regression caught by the responsive-overflow tests: the new topbar guide
+  trigger pushed `.topbar-meta` past the viewport at ≤420px; fixed by hiding the guide
+  trigger (icon+pill) at that breakpoint — the Dashboard's own "Start demo-gids" control
+  remains reachable there. Also fixed a genuine mobile overflow in the new
+  `.demo-start-panel` (flex items without `min-width:0`/wrap on narrow screens).
+- Fixed one fragile new test (asserted on the transient `?guide=start` URL param, which
+  the app intentionally strips immediately — changed to assert the guide's actual open
+  state instead) and two Playwright strict-mode ambiguous-match errors; confirmed the
+  full 41+6=47-test suite passes twice in a row after these fixes (ruling out flakiness).
+- Evidence: frontend `tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean; full Playwright suite
+  **47 passed** (41 existing + 6 new `demo-guide.spec.ts`: scenario overview shows 5
+  ready cards after reset, starting a scenario navigates to its fixed record, guide
+  step navigation/jump/close, progress persists across page navigation, guide hidden
+  from Rental Employee, restart-from-guide resets data and returns to login). Backend
+  untouched this batch (no re-run needed; last backend gate was 127 passed/ruff/mypy
+  clean in Batch 2).
+- Deployed to Unraid (commits `9fff84d`, then `14c2ad3` for a test-only fix): pushed to
+  Gitea, tarball extracted, `web` rebuilt (frontend-only batch), healthy. Live-verified:
+  ran `demo-guide.spec.ts` (6), `demo-entry.spec.ts` (4) and the five-minute demo script
+  directly against `http://192.168.10.150:1236` — **11/11 passed**. Caught and fixed one
+  real environment-sensitive test bug in the process: two tests navigated straight to
+  `/scenarios` right after a login click without waiting for the `/dashboard` redirect,
+  which raced harmlessly on localhost but flaked against Unraid's higher latency — fixed
+  by asserting the redirect first, no app-code change needed. Reseeded afterward to leave
+  the server demo-ready.
+- Exact next action: layer plain-language Dutch explanation onto the return flow, the 5
+  data-quality panels, and fix the knowledge assistant's RAGcore-naming bug — task #33.
+
+### Batch 4 — return/data-quality/knowledge demo legibility (complete)
+
+- **Fixed a real honesty bug**: `Knowledge.tsx` named "RAGcore" in the body copy and the
+  retrieval-flow diagram even though the active provider is the demo TF-IDF one (the
+  small badge below was already honest, contradicting the prose one line above). Now
+  derives a `providerLabel` ("Demo knowledge base" vs "RAGcore") from the real health
+  check and uses it everywhere; added an explicit disclosure note when not RAGcore.
+  Added 4 suggested-question chips. **Discovered and fixed a second real bug in the
+  process**: the brief's suggested Dutch questions (and my own Demo Guide step 6 wording)
+  would have returned "insufficient evidence" against the demo provider, because the
+  indexed procedures are English-only — verified empirically (Dutch question →
+  `insufficient`, its English equivalent → `grounded`). Fixed by keeping suggested
+  questions in English (matching the indexed content) and rewording the Guide step to
+  explain the knowledge base is English, rather than mistranslating the demo's
+  centerpiece feature into silently returning wrong answers.
+- Return flow: `BookingDetail.tsx` now detects the one named return-anomaly scenario
+  booking (via the manifest, not a hardcoded ref) and fetches that vehicle's real
+  canonical odometer to pre-fill `ReturnForm`'s "End odometer" field with a suspicious
+  value below it, plus a callout explaining why — the brief explicitly requires the demo
+  not ask a visitor to invent a suspicious number themselves. Scoped narrowly to that one
+  scenario booking; ordinary returns are unaffected. `ReturnResultPanel` now links to
+  Automation and Audit trail (previously only the vehicle), and shows a "Ga verder met de
+  demo" button when the Demo Guide is open (advances the guide and navigates to the next
+  step). **Fixed a real regression caught by the existing return-review e2e test**: the
+  async pre-fill could silently overwrite odometer text a visitor had already started
+  typing, if the vehicle-detail fetch resolved after they began typing — fixed with an
+  `odometerEditedByUser` ref guard.
+- Data quality: added a shared `RuleExplainer` (what's wrong / why it matters, in plain
+  language) for all 5 rule types on `DataQualityIssueDetail.tsx`; added a generic
+  post-resolution confirmation (audit-trail link, vehicle link, "Ga verder met de demo")
+  for the 4 rule types that previously just silently flipped their status badge with no
+  explicit confirmation, and extended `VehicleStatusConflictPanel`'s existing confirmation
+  with the same links rather than duplicating it. Added a "Demo scenario's only" checkbox
+  filter on `DataQuality.tsx` (client-side `public_ref.startsWith("DQ-DEMO-")`, no new
+  business logic) so the curated issues are easy to find among the full queue.
+- Evidence: frontend `tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean; full Playwright suite
+  **51 passed** (47 existing + 4 new `demo-legibility.spec.ts`: return pre-fill + why-
+  suspicious explanation + result links, rule explainer visible, demo-scenario filter
+  narrows correctly, knowledge suggested question returns grounded evidence with the
+  correct provider label). Backend untouched this batch.
+- Deployed to Unraid (commit `ddc3a98`): pushed to Gitea, tarball extracted, `web`
+  rebuilt (frontend-only), healthy. Live-verified: ran `demo-legibility.spec.ts` (4) and
+  the five-minute demo script directly against `http://192.168.10.150:1236` —
+  **5/5 passed**. Reseeded afterward to leave the server demo-ready.
+- Exact next action: plain-language integration-status labels, richer audit narration,
+  the full "Over deze demo" page content (currently a first pass from Batch 2), and
+  wiring reset into the guide/About/OM menu narrative — task #34.
+
+### Batch 5 — integration-status UX, audit UX, About page, reset integrity (complete)
+
+- Plain-language integration status: extracted `frontend/src/data/integrationLabels.ts`
+  (`N8N_STATE_META`/`MCP_STATE_META`) mapping raw backend states to honest labels
+  ("Operational"/"Not connected"/"Prepared"/"Delivery failed"/"Retry available") while
+  keeping each mapped onto an existing `.status-*` CSS colour class (a few raw values like
+  `degraded`/`disabled`/`configured` had no matching CSS rule at all before this — a real,
+  pre-existing colour-coding gap). `StatusBadge` gained an optional `label` override prop
+  (backward compatible) so the badge's colour class and its displayed text can differ.
+  Wired into both `Automation.tsx` and `Dashboard.tsx`'s integration cards; also renamed
+  the "RAGcore" card heading to "Knowledge assistant" and made its text honestly name the
+  actual active provider (same bug class fixed in Knowledge.tsx in Batch 4).
+- Audit trail: added a "Follow-up" column with a "View related events" action per row that
+  filters the same list by `correlation_id` (reuses the backend's existing, already-tested
+  `correlation_id` query param — no new business logic), with a "Clear this filter"
+  affordance. This is how a visitor sees "what else happened as a result of this action"
+  (e.g. a return's linked vehicle-status-changed / workflow-queued events) without a
+  bigger grouped-timeline rebuild.
+- About page: added target-audience/scope, a short architecture summary, security
+  principles, and a testing-approach section (previously only covered the fictional
+  problem/real/synthetic/integrations/reset); added a "Start begeleide demo" CTA for
+  Operations Managers that opens the Demo Guide directly from this page.
+- Reset integrity: added `scenario_integrity_report()` (`backend/app/services/
+  demo_manifest.py`), reusing the exact same scenario-readiness derivation the manifest
+  and scenario overview already use (so it can't drift), and wired it into `POST
+  /api/v1/demo/reset` — both the response body and the `demo_reset` audit event's
+  metadata now carry `scenario_integrity: {all_ready, not_ready}`. This is the
+  server-side post-reset integrity check the brief asks for; visible today via the audit
+  event's raw-detail view, satisfying the requirement without adding a UI banner to a
+  flow that immediately logs the user out and redirects to `/login`.
+- **Fixed a second real regression this batch, caught by the existing return-review
+  e2e test**: restructured the odometer pre-fill so `BookingDetail.tsx` withholds
+  rendering `ReturnForm` until the scenario's canonical odometer has resolved (with a
+  brief "Scenario voorbereiden…" loading state), instead of mounting the form immediately
+  and patching its value in asynchronously. The previous approach raced visibly with
+  Playwright's `fill()` (and would have raced with a real visitor typing quickly),
+  producing a corrupted concatenated value in one observed failure. This also let the
+  now-unnecessary `odometerEditedByUser` ref guard be removed — simpler and more robust
+  than the effect-based patch it replaced.
+- Evidence: `pytest` **127 passed**, `ruff check .` clean, `mypy app` clean (48 files);
+  frontend `tsc -b` clean, `npm run build` clean; full Playwright suite **51 passed**,
+  confirmed stable across three consecutive full runs (given how many timing races this
+  batch and the previous one surfaced, stability was verified deliberately rather than
+  assumed from a single green run).
+- Deployed to Unraid (commit `5fa4fe0`): pushed to Gitea, tarball extracted, both `api`
+  and `web` rebuilt, healthy, migrations unchanged at `e7b08389f47f (head)`, reseeded.
+  Live-verified: ran `demo-legibility.spec.ts` (4), the five-minute demo script, and the
+  full `interactive-elements.spec.ts` suite (26) directly against
+  `http://192.168.10.150:1236` — **31/31 passed**. Reseeded afterward to leave the
+  server demo-ready.
+- Exact next action: full guided-demo Playwright test + remaining targeted demo tests per
+  section 19 (mobile guide, keyboard nav, all scenario flows, About page, accessibility/
+  reduced-motion/console/network checks) — task #35.
+
+### Batch 6 — full guided-demo test + targeted demo tests (complete)
+
+- **Found and fixed a real, fairly serious desktop layout bug** while writing the full
+  guided-demo test: the Demo Guide's fixed right-side panel (400px wide) overlapped the
+  main content area at normal desktop widths with no reflow, so its own step-list buttons
+  intercepted pointer events meant for the page underneath (concretely: the return form's
+  "Review return" button was unclickable while the guide was open, at exactly the
+  viewport size Playwright's default test browser uses — this would have hit real
+  visitors on ordinary laptop screens too). Fixed by adding a `guide-open` class to
+  `.app-workspace` that reserves `padding-right: min(400px, 92vw)` while the guide is open
+  (≥701px only; the ≤700px bottom-sheet layout is unaffected), so content reflows aside
+  instead of sitting underneath the panel.
+- Added `frontend/e2e/guided-demo-full.spec.ts`: one comprehensive test walking a fresh
+  Operations Manager session through all 8 Demo Guide steps in order, performing the
+  **real** action at each step (not just verifying copy) — processes the actual
+  odometer-anomaly return, resolves the resulting data-quality issue, merges the
+  duplicate customer, asks a suggested knowledge question, checks automation + audit,
+  reviews the About page — using the guide's own progression controls
+  ("Volgende"/"Ga naar deze stap"/"Ga verder met de demo") throughout, then resets the
+  demo data again at the end to restore the environment per the brief's requirement.
+- Added `frontend/e2e/demo-accessibility.spec.ts` (4 tests): the guide renders as a
+  correctly-anchored bottom sheet on a 390px mobile viewport with no horizontal overflow;
+  the guide never covers the return form's action buttons on desktop (regression test for
+  the bug above); the demo badge and guide trigger are keyboard-focusable and operable
+  (Enter to open, explicit close controls); key demo pages (dashboard, scenarios, about,
+  guide open) load with no unexpected console errors (the one expected benign 401 from
+  the app's own session-probe on first load is explicitly allow-listed, not silenced
+  blindly).
+- Evidence: full Playwright suite **56 passed** (51 existing + 1 guided-demo-full + 4
+  demo-accessibility), confirmed stable across two consecutive full runs. Backend
+  untouched this batch (last gate: 127 passed/ruff/mypy clean, Batch 5).
+- Deployed to Unraid (commit `07d5605`): pushed to Gitea, tarball extracted, `web`
+  rebuilt (frontend-only), healthy, reseeded. Live-verified: ran
+  `guided-demo-full.spec.ts` and `demo-accessibility.spec.ts` directly against
+  `http://192.168.10.150:1236` — **5/5 passed**, confirming the desktop-overlay layout
+  fix holds on the real deployment too. Reseeded afterward to leave the server
+  demo-ready.
+- Exact next action: clean-checkout demo drill, final documentation set (demo-concept/
+  demo-scenarios/demo-data/demo-guide/demo-runbook, README, .env.example), final Unraid
+  deploy + live evidence with screenshots, `artifacts/demo-release/final-summary.md` —
+  task #36 (final).
+
+### Batch 7 (final) — clean-checkout drill, docs, final Unraid evidence (complete)
+
+- **Clean-checkout drill**: fresh `git clone` into an isolated scratch directory,
+  isolated Compose project (`mobilityops-cleandrill`) + remapped ports via
+  `compose.override.yaml`, `up --build -d` from empty volumes. Migrations ran
+  automatically to `e7b08389f47f (head)`; seeded; full backend gate **127 passed**,
+  ruff/mypy clean; `npm ci` clean (same pre-existing advisories as before, unchanged);
+  `tsc -b`/`vite build` clean; full Playwright suite **56 passed** against the isolated
+  stack; reseeded and confirmed all 5 scenarios `ready: true` via the manifest; torn down
+  (`down -v` on the isolated project only — the working dev stack was untouched
+  throughout).
+- Added the full demo-release documentation set: `docs/demo-release/demo-concept.md`,
+  `demo-scenarios.md`, `demo-data.md`, `demo-guide.md`, `demo-runbook.md`; updated
+  `README.md` (current test counts, links to the new docs, a "Demo" section) and
+  `docs/17-runbook.md` (cross-reference to the demo-specific runbook).
+- Added `frontend/e2e/_capture-demo-screenshots.spec.ts` (tooling, excluded from the
+  regular suite) and captured 17 evidence screenshots live against
+  `http://192.168.10.150:1236` into `artifacts/demo-release/screenshots/`.
+- Final live acceptance: full Playwright suite re-run against the live server —
+  **56 passed**; `docker compose ps` on the server shows `api`/`db`/`web` all healthy;
+  `docker logs` for `api`/`web` show no errors; reseeded to leave the server
+  demo-ready after evidence capture.
+- Wrote `artifacts/demo-release/final-summary.md` with the full required evidence
+  (branches/commits, org/roles/guide/scenarios, seed/date-anchor/reset strategy, real vs.
+  synthetic vs. not-connected, all test results, clean-checkout result, deployment/

+
+## Demo organisation and context
+
+**Northstar Mobility** — a fictitious Belgian camper/van rental company (~50 vehicles,
+one main location, rental team, an Operations Manager, a small workshop). This name was
+already a locked internal decision (`ragcore_tenant: northstar-mobility-demo`,
+`PROJECT_STATE.md`'s "Locked decisions") before this work — this pass surfaces it in the
+UI rather than inventing it. Full concept: `docs/demo-release/demo-concept.md`.
+
+## Roles
+
+- **Operations Manager** — full access: data-quality resolution, workflow retries, audit
+  trail, demo reset, the Demo Guide.
+- **Rental Employee** — scoped access: bookings, returns, fleet, knowledge assistant.
+
+Both are reachable from the login screen with no password.
+
+## Demo Guide
+
+An 8-step, sessionStorage-persisted guided tour (Operations-Manager-only, since every
+step requires that role). Full design: `docs/demo-release/demo-guide.md`. Steps: (1)
+understand operational state, (2) open the booking needing attention, (3) process the
+odometer-anomaly return, (4) handle the created data-quality issue, (5) merge the
+duplicate customer, (6) ask the knowledge assistant, (7) check automation + audit, (8)
+review real vs. synthetic vs. not-connected.
+
+## Scenarios (all 5, full detail in `docs/demo-release/demo-scenarios.md`)
+
+| # | Scenario | Fixed records | Role |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Odometer regression on return | `BK-DEMO-RETURN` / `MO-024` | Either |
+| 2 | Possible duplicate customer | `CUS-0012` / `CUS-0178` / `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE` | OM |
+| 3 | Overlapping bookings | `MO-016` / `BK-DEMO-OVERLAP-A/B` / `DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP` | OM |
+| 4 | Failed automation, retried | outbox event `...020` / `BK-H-0020` | OM |
+| 5 | Grounded procedure question | (no fixed record; suggested questions) | Either |
+
+`GET /api/v1/demo/manifest`'s `scenarios` array derives `ready`/`blocked_reason` from the
+live underlying records, never hardcoded — confirmed via `backend/tests/
+test_demo_manifest.py` (`test_demo_manifest_scenarios_ready_after_fresh_reset`) and
+live-checked after every reset throughout this work.
+
+## Seed strategy and date-anchoring
+
+`seed/generate_seed.py --anchor 2026-08-01 --seed 20260801` produces deterministic CSVs
+with absolute timestamps authored against a fixed anchor. `backend/app/seed_loader.py`
+shifts every seeded datetime by `(real today − authored anchor)` on every seed/reset, so
+"today"/"near-future"/"currently overlapping" scenarios stay true to the actual reset
+moment instead of decaying. This fixed a real, confirmed bug (`BK-DEMO-RETURN` was found
+sitting 2 days in the past before this fix). Full detail: `docs/demo-release/demo-data.md`.
+
+## Reset strategy
+
+`POST /api/v1/demo/reset` (Operations Manager only, gated by `DEMO_ALLOW_RESET`) clears
+MobilityOps's own tables, reseeds with a fresh date anchor, re-runs the data-quality scan,
+and runs a server-side scenario-integrity check (`scenario_integrity_report()`) recorded
+in both the response and the `demo_reset` audit event. Reachable from the sidebar, the
+Demo Guide, and the About page. Never touches shared n8n/RAGcore/MCP data, other
+containers, or volumes.
+
+## Real vs. synthetic vs. not-connected
+
+See `docs/demo-release/demo-concept.md` for the full breakdown. In short: auth/roles,
+vehicle/booking management, return preview/commit, the 5 data-quality rules and their
+resolutions, the audit trail, n8n orchestration, Docker deployment, and the automated
+test suite are all really implemented. The organisation, all people, vehicles, bookings,
+procedures, and the 5 named scenarios are synthetic. RAGcore and the ITWorx MCP Hub are
+not live-connected (honestly labelled "Demomodus"/"Niet gekoppeld" everywhere, never a
+fabricated success).
+
+## Test results
+
+### Backend (clean checkout, isolated stack)
+- `pytest`: **127 passed**
+- `ruff check .`: clean
+- `mypy app`: clean (48 source files)
+
+### Frontend (clean checkout, isolated stack)
+- `npm ci`: clean (pre-existing esbuild-moderate/react-router-RSC-high advisories,
+  unchanged from before this work — not introduced by it)
+- `tsc -b`: clean
+- `npm run build`: clean
+- Full Playwright suite: **56 passed** (against the isolated clean-checkout stack)
+
+### Guided-demo test
+`frontend/e2e/guided-demo-full.spec.ts` — one comprehensive test walking a fresh
+Operations Manager session through all 8 Demo Guide steps performing the real action at
+each step (processes the actual odometer-anomaly return, resolves the resulting
+data-quality issue, merges the duplicate customer, asks a suggested knowledge question,
+checks automation + audit, reviews the About page), then resets the demo data again to
+restore the environment. **Passed**, confirmed stable across repeated runs both locally
+and against the live Unraid deployment.
+
+### Clean-checkout drill
+Fresh `git clone` of this branch/commit into an isolated scratch directory, `.env` from
+`.env.example`, isolated Compose project name (`mobilityops-cleandrill`) and remapped
+host ports (`compose.override.yaml` with `!override` merge tags — no shared state with
+any other stack), `docker compose up --build -d` from empty volumes → migrations ran
+automatically (`e7b08389f47f (head)`) → seeded → full backend gate (127 passed, ruff/
+mypy clean) → `npm ci`/`tsc -b`/`vite build` clean → full Playwright suite (56 passed)
+→ reseeded and confirmed all 5 scenarios `ready: true` via the manifest → torn down
+(`docker compose down -v` on the isolated project only; the working dev stack was never
+touched).
+
+### Server deployment
+Deployed incrementally after every batch (10 deploy cycles across this work); final
+state: both `api` and `web` rebuilt and healthy at the final commit, `db` untouched
+across all of them (no destructive migrations on this branch). Migrations at
+`e7b08389f47f (head)` throughout. `.deploy/source-revision` on the server matches the
+final commit exactly.
+
+### Container health
+`docker compose ps` on the server: `api`, `db`, `web` all `healthy`, no restart loops.
+
+### Browser console / network
+No unexpected console errors on login, dashboard, scenarios, About, or with the Demo
+Guide open (verified via `demo-accessibility.spec.ts`; the one benign 401 from the app's
+own session-probe on first load is expected and explicitly accounted for, not silenced
+blindly). No unresolved server errors in `docker logs` for `api`/`web` at the time of
+this evidence capture.
+
+### Responsive / accessibility
+- Demo Guide renders as a correctly-anchored bottom sheet at 390px with no horizontal
+  overflow (`demo-accessibility.spec.ts`).
+- **Real bug found and fixed**: the Demo Guide's fixed desktop side panel overlapped
+  main content with no reflow, making the return form's "Review return" button
+  unclickable while the guide was open at ordinary desktop widths — this surfaced while
+  writing the full guided-demo test. Fixed via a `guide-open` layout class that reserves
+  space for the panel; regression-tested.
+- Demo badge and Demo Guide triggers are keyboard-focusable and operable (Enter to open,
+  explicit close controls).
+- Existing responsive-overflow checks (390/768/1280/1440px) remain green throughout.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- RAGcore and the ITWorx MCP Hub are not live-connected in this environment (by design
+  — see scope). The knowledge assistant uses a local, English-only demo knowledge base;
+  a Dutch question against it returns "insufficient evidence" (verified empirically), so
+  suggested questions and the Demo Guide's step 6 instructions deliberately stay in
+  English rather than silently breaking the demo's centerpiece grounded-answer feature.
+- Existing operational screens (Dashboard, Vehicles, Bookings, Data Quality workbench,
+  Audit, Automation internals) remain in English; only new demo-productization surfaces
+  (login, Demo Guide, scenario overview, About page, demo badge, plain-language
+  integration labels) are in Dutch — a deliberate, documented scope decision, not an
+  oversight (`docs/demo-release/current-demo-gap-audit.md`, gap #11).

+## Application URLs and ports
+

+|---|---|---|
+| Web (Unraid) | `http://192.168.10.150:1236` | only MobilityOps-owned service exposed on the LAN |
+| API (Unraid) | Compose-network only | reached through the web nginx `/api/` proxy |
+| PostgreSQL (Unraid) | Compose-network only | never exposed |
+| Shared n8n (Unraid) | `http://192.168.10.150:5678` | pre-existing host infrastructure, outside the MobilityOps Compose project |
+| Web (local dev) | `http://localhost:1228` | |

+| n8n (local dev) | `http://localhost:5678` | bundled, `bundled-n8n` profile |
+
+## Demo users and access method
+
+Two fixed seeded identities, selected via the login screen's role buttons (no
+password): **Amelie De Ridder** (`USR-OPS`, Operations Manager) and **Karim
+Boujaddaine** (`USR-EMP`, Rental Employee). `POST /api/v1/demo/login` issues an
+HttpOnly, `SameSite=Lax` signed session cookie; `GET /api/v1/demo/session` (marked
+`Cache-Control: no-store`) is what the browser actually trusts on every load, not a
+locally cached copy.
+
+## Implemented functionality (this pass, on top of the already-accepted M0–M7/design baseline)
+
+- Fixed two confirmed defects: Vehicles and Bookings both computed a filtered/paginated
+  result but rendered the raw array.
+- Server-backed session lifecycle (`GET /demo/session`, `POST /demo/logout`), central
+  401 handling, no more `sessionStorage`-as-authority.
+- A role matrix enforced server-side (403 on every manager-only action for Rental
+  Employee, not just a hidden button) and mirrored in the nav/route guards.
+- Authoritative, non-mutating return preview (`POST /bookings/{ref}/return-preview`)
+  sharing its evaluation function with commit — fixed a real bug where the frontend's
+  guessed preview text was wrong (damage → described as "maintenance", actual rule
+  "blocked"; the no-contradiction case → described as "available", actual rule always
+  "cleaning" first).
+- Audit API/UI now expose `before`/`after` (the columns existed but were never
+  serialized) plus a resolved safe entity link.
+- Typed related-entity snapshots (booking_overlap's related refs are bookings, not
+  vehicles — previously silently unresolved) and a bounded resolution flow for every
+  one of the five data-quality rule types, plus an audited manual scan trigger and
+  documented recurrence linking (`reopened_from`/`previous_decision`).
+- Role-aware backend search (`GET /api/v1/search`) replacing a blind client-side regex
+  guesser, with a real results panel, keyboard navigation and debouncing.
+- A safe, confirmed demo-reset UI trigger (the endpoint already existed and was
+  already gated).
+- Truthful aggregate n8n integration status (`GET /api/v1/integrations/status`) from
+  outbox delivery counts, replacing a single-most-recent-event read; fixed
+  `MCP_HUB_REGISTRATION_ENABLED` being declared in `.env.example` but never wired into
+  `Settings`.
+- Bounded outbox delivery-lease recovery for a process crash between claim and outcome.
+- A second n8n workflow (scheduled quality scan), independent of RAGcore/MCP Hub.
+
+## RAGcore integration status
+
+Unchanged from the prior baseline and honestly reported throughout: the demo
+`KnowledgeProvider` (deterministic TF-IDF extractive retrieval over local procedure
+documents) satisfies the knowledge-assistant acceptance criteria and is fully verified.
+A `RAGcoreKnowledgeProvider` HTTP adapter is implemented and unit-tested (including its
+unavailable-degradation path) but was never exercised against a live RAGcore instance in
+this environment — no live RAGcore instance exists to test against.
+`KNOWLEDGE_PROVIDER=demo` on the Unraid deployment; no simulated live connection is ever
+shown.
+
+## MCP Hub integration status
+
+The four read-only provider endpoints are implemented, tested, and directly
+curl-verified with correct service-token auth enforcement and audit logging.
+`MCP_HUB_REGISTRATION_ENABLED` — previously declared in `.env.example` but silently
+dropped by `extra="ignore"` since it had no `Settings` field — is now actually wired in
+and honestly reported (`GET /api/v1/integrations/status`'s `mcp_hub.state`). It is
+`false` on the Unraid deployment (`state: "not_configured"`). No live Hub instance was
+reachable in this environment to verify an actual Hub round trip.
+
+## n8n integration status
+
+Fully implemented and live-verified. The original return-processing workflow: verified
+against both the local bundled instance and the shared Unraid instance, including a real
+degraded-mode drill in an earlier session (n8n stopped mid-flow → return still committed
+locally, event stayed `pending` with backoff, self-healed once n8n returned) and the
+manual-retry path. This pass adds:
+
+- **Truthful status**: `GET /api/v1/integrations/status` derives n8n health from
+  aggregate outbox counts (pending/delivering/succeeded/failed), not the single most
+  recent event.
+- **Stale-delivery-lease recovery**: a claimed-but-never-resolved `delivering` row (the
+  process crashing between claim and outcome) is now recoverable; unit-tested including
+  a simulated crash, and confirmed a still-alive worker's unexpired lease is never
+  touched.
+- **Second workflow**: `mobilityops-scheduled-quality-scan` (hourly + manual-test
+  trigger, ships `"active": false"`), calling `POST
+  /api/v1/integrations/n8n/scheduled-scan`. Live-verified two ways: (1) executed
+  end-to-end via the Manual test trigger against the **local** n8n instance — full
+  green execution in the n8n editor, confirmed by the resulting
+  `data_quality_scan_run` audit event (`actor_type=service`); (2) published to the
+  **shared Unraid n8n** via `deploy/unraid/setup-scheduled-scan.sh` and the resulting
+  endpoint directly curl-verified against the live deployed API, also confirmed via the
+  audit trail. The shared instance's own UI could not be browser-tested directly — it
+  runs `N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=true` and refuses login over the plain-HTTP LAN URL used for
+  automated testing here, which is correct, pre-existing shared-infrastructure
+  behaviour and out of scope to change.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- RAGcore and ITWorx MCP Hub remain honestly not-live-connected — no live instance of
+  either exists in this environment (environment limitation, not a code defect).
+- `npm audit`: one moderate esbuild/Vite dev-server-only advisory (fix requires a Vite
+  major upgrade, deliberately deferred), and a
+  react-router RSC-mode advisory that doesn't apply (the app never uses RSC/SSR mode) —
+  both pre-existing, confirmed unchanged by this pass's clean `npm ci`.
+- Demo authentication remains the accepted HMAC-cookie PoC mechanism tied to two fixed
+  seeded identities — not a production identity provider.
+- The scheduled quality-scan workflow's own n8n-engine execution was verified live
+  against the local bundled n8n and, for the HTTP round trip specifically, against the
+  shared Unraid n8n's resulting API call — not against a full n8n-engine execution *on
+  the shared instance itself*, for the browser-access reason above.
+- `n8n_delivery_lease_seconds` (120s default) is a code-level tunable, not exposed in
+  `.env.example`, consistent with the existing `n8n_dispatch_interval_seconds`/
+  `n8n_max_attempts`/`n8n_http_timeout_seconds` tunables already handled that way.
+
+## Clean deployment instructions
+
+See `deploy/unraid/README.md` and `docs/17-runbook.md` for the full runbook. Redeploy
+the exact committed revision:
+
+```bash
+COMMIT=<commit to deploy>
+git archive --format=tar.gz --output=/tmp/source.tar.gz "$COMMIT"
+scp -P 22 /tmp/source.tar.gz unraid:/mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops/.deploy/source.tar.gz
+ssh unraid "cd /mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops \
+  && tar -xzf .deploy/source.tar.gz \
+  && echo $COMMIT > .deploy/source-revision \
+  && docker compose -p mobilityops -f compose.yaml -f compose.unraid.yaml up --build -d db api web \
+  && docker compose -p mobilityops -f compose.yaml -f compose.unraid.yaml exec -T api alembic current \
+  && curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:1236/health"
+```
+
+`.env` and both named volumes (`mobilityops-db`, `mobilityops-n8n`) are preserved by
+this flow; nothing outside the `mobilityops` Compose project is touched.
+
+## Five-minute demonstration flow
+
+1. Open `http://192.168.10.150:1236`, log in as **Operations Manager**.
+2. Dashboard: point out the persisted readiness metrics and the now-truthful n8n
+   integration-status card (aggregate counts, not just the latest event).
+3. Global search (`Ctrl/Cmd+K`): type a vehicle, booking or issue reference; use arrow
+   keys + Enter to navigate; show the no-results state for a nonsense query.
+4. Bookings: filter by status, page through results (max 25/page), confirm page 2
+   differs from page 1.
+5. Open an active booking → capture a return with a below-canonical odometer reading →
+   the review step shows the server's authoritative evaluation (odometer regression
+   flagged, resulting status and reason) → confirm → result screen distinguishes local
+   commit success from queued-not-yet-confirmed n8n delivery, links to the created
+   data-quality issue.
+6. Data quality: run a manual scan; open the newly flagged (or an existing) issue for
+   each rule type and show its dedicated bounded resolution flow (not raw JSON).
+7. Audit trail: filter by the correlation ID from the return above; show the
+   human-readable before/after change summary, expand the raw-JSON `<details>`.
+8. Switch role to **Rental Employee**: show Data Quality/Integrations/Audit are absent
+   from the nav, and that direct URL navigation to any of them shows the restricted
+   message rather than partial data or a crash.
+9. Switch back to Operations Manager, trigger **Reset demo data** with confirmation,
+   land back at login, log in again to confirm deterministic data was restored.

+
+- The premium Control Rail UI, role-based nav, server-backed sessions, return preview/
+  commit, all five data-quality resolution flows, audit before/after, role-aware search,
+  truthful integration status, demo reset, stale-lease recovery and the two n8n
+  workflows are all implemented, tested and live-verified per
+  `artifacts/functional-completion/final-summary.md` — this pass does not touch that
+  business logic.
+- `docs/13-seed-and-demo-scenarios.md` already names exactly the scenarios this brief
+  wants surfaced: **S1** odometer-regression return (`BK-DEMO-RETURN`/`MO-024`), **S2**
+  duplicate customer (`CUS-0012`/`CUS-0178`, issue `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`), **S4** booking
+  overlap (`MO-016`, issue `DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP`, bookings `BK-DEMO-OVERLAP-A/B`), **S5**
+  failed workflow (seeded failed outbox event, retryable from Automation), **S6**
+  grounded knowledge question. These map directly to the brief's 5 requested scenarios
+  — no new scenarios need to be invented, only surfaced with guidance. (S3, "missing
+  inspection before next booking" on `MO-031`, exists too but isn't one of the 5
+  requested; leave it as-is, it still shows up in the attention queue.)
+- `seed/generate_seed.py` already produces believable Flemish/Dutch data: first/last
+  name pools (Sofie, Lotte, Bram, Peeters, Janssens, Vermeulen, ...), real Kempen-region
+  towns (Geel, Turnhout, Herentals, Mol, Westerlo, Tessenderlo-Ham), `.test` email
+  addresses, and believable RV/camper makes (Adria, Dethleffs, Hymer, Bürstner, ...).
+  Confirmed live: `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE` shows customer "Bram Peeters" (Geel) with email
+  `bram.peeters.12@example.test`. **The underlying data quality is already
+  demo-grade — the gap is structural/experiential, not data flavour.**
+
+## Confirmed gaps
+
+### 1. No fictional organisation identity anywhere
+Login/demo-entry screen says "MobilityOps · Control Centre" and generic marketing copy
+("Every hand-off. One clear view.") but never names a demonstration organisation. A
+stranger cannot tell *whose* fleet this is. **Confirmed via full-repo search:**
+"Northstar Mobility" is never rendered in the UI, but it is **already the project's
+locked fictitious tenant name** — `PROJECT_STATE.md`'s "Locked decisions" section
+states verbatim *"Fictitious tenant: Northstar Mobility Demo"*, and
+`ragcore_tenant` defaults to `"northstar-mobility-demo"` in `backend/app/core/config.py`,
+`compose.yaml`, `.env.example`, `knowledge/manifest.json` and `contracts/mcp-tools.json`.
+So using "Northstar Mobility" as the visible demo brand (as this brief suggests) is not
+a new invention — it surfaces a decision the project already made and only ever used
+internally as a RAGcore-tenant slug. No renaming/config changes needed, just make it
+visible.
+
+### 2. No guided path — a visitor has no idea where to start
+The dashboard shows real attention-queue items (duplicate customer, booking overlap,
+vehicle status conflict, missing field) and today's movements (`BK-DEMO-RETURN`
+11:00), but nothing tells a first-time visitor *which* of these is worth clicking, in
+what order, or why. There is no "start guided demo" affordance, no scenario overview,
+no step-by-step walkthrough. Everything technically works; nothing narrates.
+
+### 3. Live date anchoring is broken — confirmed, reproducible
+`seed/bookings.csv` stores **absolute fixed ISO timestamps** authored around anchor
+date 2026-08-01 (`generate_seed.py --anchor 2026-08-01`). `backend/app/core/config.py`'s
+`demo_today` setting (`"2026-08-01"`) is used *only* by
+`dashboard.py::_today()` to filter "today's movements" against that frozen date — nothing
+re-anchors the underlying booking/inspection/maintenance/outbox dates themselves.
+**Live-confirmed right now** (today is 2026-08-03): `BK-DEMO-RETURN` shows status
+`active` with `ends_at = 01/08/2026 09:00` — already two days in the past, for a
+booking that's supposed to look "in progress, due for return soon." `BK-DEMO-NEXT`
+(meant to read as "near-future") starts 2026-08-02, also already past. Every day this
+environment isn't reset, this gets worse, and after any `seed --reset` it snaps right
+back to the same frozen 2026-08-01-relative positions regardless of the real reset
+moment. This is exactly the failure mode brief section 7 describes and must be fixed at
+the source (`seed_loader.py`), not papered over in the UI.
+
+### 4. Knowledge assistant names "RAGcore" directly, not honestly "demo mode"
+`/knowledge` page copy: "Answers are shown only when **RAGcore** returns sufficient
+cited evidence" and a "RAGcore" label on the sources block — while the actual active
+provider is `KNOWLEDGE_PROVIDER=demo` (confirmed: badge below correctly shows
+`demo · Available · 10 procedures indexed`, which contradicts the body copy one line
+below it). This is the exact misleading-integration-status problem brief section 11
+warns against — the small badge is honest, the prose isn't. No suggested questions are
+offered.
+
+### 5. Integration status labels are technical, not demo-plain-language
+Automation page shows raw states like `not_configured`/`degraded`/`operational` (English,
+developer register) rather than the plain-language labels section 12 asks for
+(Operationeel / Demomodus / Niet gekoppeld / Voorbereid / Verwerking mislukt / Opnieuw
+proberen mogelijk).
+
+### 6. Data-quality resolution panels are functionally complete but not narrated
+Confirmed live on `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`: the compare/merge UI works well, but nothing
+explains *why this matters operationally* (duplicate billing/contact risk) or what
+happens next in plain terms before the user acts. Same pattern across the other 4
+rule-type panels (already reviewed in this session's earlier batch). No "demo scenario"
+filter exists to surface the curated issues first.
+
+### 7. No "About this demo" page
+No page anywhere explains what's real, what's synthetic, what's live vs. demo-mode vs.
+not-connected, or the architecture/testing approach in plain terms. A visitor exploring
+alone has no way to self-answer "is this real?"
+
+### 8. No permanent, explained "synthetic demo" indicator
+The existing `demo-banner` ("Synthetic demo data · no real customer or vehicle
+information") is a full-width static bar repeated on every page — present, but static
+text only, no link to more explanation, no reset-timestamp/anchor info, and (per section
+4) shouldn't be a dominant warning bar; it should be a subtle, explained badge.
+
+### 9. Demo reset exists but is not discoverable as a demo feature
+`POST /api/v1/demo/reset` and its sidebar UI trigger (this session's earlier batch)
+work correctly and are Operations-Manager-gated, but reset isn't connected to any demo
+narrative (no "prepare demo again" framing, not reachable from an About page or guide,
+no post-reset scenario-integrity confirmation beyond the raw counts).
+
+### 10. No demo manifest / no single source of "what's on right now"
+Nothing exposes demo mode, scenario list, integration status and guidance availability
+as one small structured payload the frontend can render consistently (badge tooltip,
+guide, scenario overview, About page all currently would have to duplicate this
+knowledge if built independently).
+
+### 11. Everything is in English; the brief asks for consistent Dutch demo text
+All existing UI copy is English. The brief explicitly asks for consistent Dutch product
+text for the demo-facing additions. Recorded decision (no existing doc answers this,
+and translating the entire already-shipped, already-tested Control Rail UI is out of
+proportion to "add guidance," would touch dozens of files and contradicts "this is not
+a redesign"): **new demo-productization surfaces are written in Dutch** (demo entry
+copy, Demo Guide, scenario overview, About-this-demo page, the demo badge/tooltip,
+plain-language integration-status labels). **Existing operational screens (Dashboard,
+Vehicles, Bookings, Data Quality workbench, Audit, Automation internals) stay in
+English** — they are already shipped, tested, and section 16 explicitly forbids
+rebuilding working screens without functional reason. This mirrors how a real bilingual
+guided demo works: narration in one language, software in whatever it already ships in.
+
+## Scope reminder (not gaps — explicitly out of scope per the brief)
+
+- No RAGcore or MCP Hub live implementation.
+- No new business logic in the 5 resolution flows — only explanatory framing around
+  the existing ones.
+- No full redesign, new component library, new color palette, or full retranslation.
+
+## Plan (implementation batches, matches task list)
+
+1. Fix date anchoring in `seed_loader.py` (shift all seeded dates by `today − anchor`
+   at every reset); switch `dashboard.py::_today()` to real wall-clock date; add a
+   `demo_data_seeded` audit marker recording the anchor/reset moment.
+2. `GET /api/v1/demo/manifest` (org name, demo mode, scenarios, integration status,
+   reset timestamp) + Dutch demo entry screen + permanent demo badge with popover.
+3. Demo Guide (collapsible panel/bottom sheet, 8 steps) + scenario overview (5 cards)
+   on the dashboard.
+4. Layer plain-language Dutch explanation onto the return flow, the 5 DQ panels and the
+   knowledge assistant (fix the RAGcore-naming bug), without touching their logic.
+5. Plain-language integration status labels, richer audit narration for guide-linked
+   events, "Over deze demo" page, reset wired into guide/About/OM menu with a
+   post-reset scenario-integrity check.
+6. Full guided-demo Playwright test + targeted tests per section 19.
+7. Clean-checkout demo drill, docs, Unraid deploy, final evidence with screenshots.

+# Demo concept
+
+## The fictional problem
+
+**Northstar Mobility** is a fictional Belgian camper/van rental company with roughly 50
+vehicles, one main location, a rental team, an operations manager, and a small workshop.
+Northstar Mobility does not exist — this name and every customer, vehicle, booking and
+procedure in the demo are synthetic. Before MobilityOps, Northstar Mobility's bookings,
+returns, customer records and maintenance history lived in spreadsheets and verbal
+hand-offs, so problems (duplicate customers, incorrect odometer readings, double-booked
+vehicles) only surfaced late, after they had already caused friction. MobilityOps shows
+how one connected system detects these problems early and lets an Operations Manager
+resolve them under audit, with automation handling the routine follow-up.
+
+## Target audience
+
+Anyone evaluating how MobilityOps approaches operational data-quality and hand-off
+problems for a small rental fleet: Operations Managers, Rental Employees, and reviewers
+assessing the approach. No account setup or backend knowledge is required to start —
+the login screen explains the fictional context and offers a guided path.
+
+## Demo scope
+
+This is a focused proof of concept, not a full ERP. In scope: vehicle and booking
+management, return processing with server-side evaluation, five data-quality detection
+rules each with one bounded resolution flow, a full audit trail, and orchestration via a
+real n8n instance. Explicitly out of scope: accounting, payments, public reservations, a
+generic CRM, inventory, HR, a second RAG stack, or autonomous write actions from any
+external tool.
+
+## What's really implemented
+
+All of the following is functional code, not a mockup or hardcoded screen:
+
+- Role-based authentication and server-verified sessions (Operations Manager, Rental
+  Employee), enforced both server-side and in the frontend's navigation/route guards.
+- Vehicle and booking management, with return preview/commit sharing one authoritative
+  evaluation function so they can never drift.
+- Five data-quality rules (possible duplicate customer, missing required field, odometer
+  regression, booking overlap, vehicle status conflict), each with exactly one bounded,
+  audited resolution endpoint.
+- A full audit trail with before/after state, actor, correlation IDs, and a
+  "view related events" link reusing that correlation.
+- Reliable outbox-based delivery to a real n8n instance, with bounded retries and
+  stale-delivery recovery.
+- Docker Compose deployment and an automated test suite (backend pytest, Ruff, mypy,
+  and a full Playwright end-to-end suite covering the demo experience itself).
+- A demo manifest (`GET /api/v1/demo/manifest`) as the single source of truth for the
+  demo's identity, synthetic-data status, reset state, scenario readiness, and honest
+  per-integration labels — the frontend never hardcodes what mode it's in.
+
+## What's synthetic
+
+The organisation, all customers, vehicles, bookings, maintenance history, the knowledge
+base's procedures, and the five prepared demo scenarios are entirely fictional. No data
+refers to a real person, vehicle, or company. Every seeded email uses the `.test`
+reserved domain. See [`demo-data.md`](demo-data.md) for exactly how this data is
+generated and kept fresh across resets.
+
+## What's not yet live-connected
+
+- **RAGcore**: not connected. The knowledge assistant uses a local, deterministic
+  keyword-matching "demo knowledge base" built from five procedure documents, honestly
+  labelled as such everywhere in the UI (never presented as RAGcore). A
+  `RAGcoreKnowledgeProvider` HTTP adapter exists and is unit-tested, ready to take over
+  the same interface once a real RAGcore backend is available — swapping providers is a
+  configuration change (`KNOWLEDGE_PROVIDER`), not a UI change.
+- **ITWorx MCP Hub**: not connected. Registration is disabled by default
+  (`MCP_HUB_REGISTRATION_ENABLED=false`) and the UI always shows "Not connected" —
+  never a fabricated successful registration.
+
+## Where to go next
+
+- [`demo-scenarios.md`](demo-scenarios.md) — the five guided scenarios and their fixed records.
+- [`demo-data.md`](demo-data.md) — seed strategy and date-anchoring.
+- [`demo-guide.md`](demo-guide.md) — the in-app 8-step guided tour.
+- [`demo-runbook.md`](demo-runbook.md) — how to run, reset, and redeploy the demo.

+# Demo data strategy
+
+## Three separate concepts
+
+It's important to keep these distinct — they solve different problems:
+
+1. **Deterministic records** — every seeded entity has a stable public reference
+   (`BK-DEMO-RETURN`, `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`, `MO-024`, `CUS-0012`, ...). These references
+   never change between seed generations or resets; they are what the five demo
+   scenarios, the Demo Guide, and `docs/13-seed-and-demo-scenarios.md` all link against.
+2. **Date anchoring** — the mechanism that keeps "today"/"near-future"/"currently
+   overlapping" scenarios true to whenever the environment was actually last reset,
+   described below.
+3. **The reset date** — the real wall-clock moment a reset actually happened. This
+   changes every time someone resets; it's the input to date anchoring, not a fixed
+   record.
+
+## Generating the seed dataset
+
+```bash
+python seed/generate_seed.py --anchor 2026-08-01 --seed 20260801
+```
+
+This produces the committed CSVs in `seed/*.csv` with **absolute ISO timestamps**
+authored relative to a fixed anchor date (`2026-08-01`). Target scale: 50 vehicles, 180
+customers (including three duplicate pairs), ~245 historical/current/future bookings,
+realistic inspections and maintenance history, and the fixed quality/workflow scenarios
+described in [`demo-scenarios.md`](demo-scenarios.md). Names, towns and vehicle makes are
+drawn from believable Flemish/Kempen-region pools; all emails use the `.test` domain.
+
+## Date anchoring
+
+`backend/app/seed_loader.py` defines:
+
+```python
+SEED_AUTHORED_ANCHOR = date(2026, 8, 1)  # matches generate_seed.py's --anchor
+```
+
+Every seed/reset computes `shift = today - SEED_AUTHORED_ANCHOR` and applies it to every
+seeded booking, inspection, maintenance and outbox timestamp before insertion. Public
+references and entity relationships are never touched by the shift — only datetime
+columns move. This means:
+
+- `BK-DEMO-RETURN` always ends "today" (or very close to it) relative to whenever you
+  actually reset, not relative to the frozen 2026-08-01 authoring date.
+- `BK-DEMO-NEXT` and the overlap-scenario bookings always read as "near future".
+- The shift is recomputed fresh on every reset, so scenarios never decay as real time
+  passes between resets — this was a real, confirmed bug before this fix (see
+  `docs/demo-release/current-demo-gap-audit.md`, gap #3): the environment would drift
+  further out of sync with every day it wasn't reset, and a reset didn't fix it because
+  nothing re-anchored the underlying stored dates.
+
+`load_seed()` returns the resolved `anchor_date` (real today) and `seeded_at` timestamp,
+and records a `demo_data_seeded` audit event carrying both the resolved anchor and the
+original authoring anchor, so the shift applied on any given reset stays traceable via
+the audit trail.
+
+`dashboard.py::_today()` uses real wall-clock UTC date (not a frozen setting) to filter
+"today's movements", consistent with the shifted data.
+
+## Reset
+
+`POST /api/v1/demo/reset` (Operations Manager only, and only if `DEMO_ALLOW_RESET=true`)
+clears all MobilityOps tables, reloads the seed with a fresh date shift, re-runs the
+data-quality scan, and runs a server-side **scenario-integrity check**
+(`scenario_integrity_report()` in `backend/app/services/demo_manifest.py`) confirming all
+five named scenarios are actually present and ready — recorded in both the response body
+and the `demo_reset` audit event's metadata. Reset only ever affects MobilityOps's own
+tables; it never touches shared n8n, RAGcore, or MCP data, other containers, or volumes.
+
+## Seed-validation tests
+
+`backend/tests/test_seed.py` proves, after every reset:
+
+- S1 (`BK-DEMO-RETURN`/`MO-024`) is active with no end odometer recorded yet.
+- S2 (`CUS-0012`/`CUS-0178`/`DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`) is open with matching evidence.
+- S4 (`MO-016`/`BK-DEMO-OVERLAP-A`/`-B`/`DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP`) genuinely overlaps in time.
+- S5 (the seeded failed outbox event) is durably `failed` immediately after reset, not
+  silently auto-healed by the background dispatcher (which only claims `pending` rows).
+- The date-anchoring shift and the `demo_data_seeded` audit marker are both correct.
+
+`backend/tests/test_demo_manifest.py` additionally proves that all five manifest
+scenarios report `ready: true` with no `blocked_reason` right after a fresh reset.

+# The in-app Demo Guide
+
+## What it is (and isn't)
+
+The Demo Guide is a compact, reusable side panel (a bottom sheet on mobile) that walks an
+Operations Manager through eight fixed steps covering the demo's core functionality. It is
+**not** a generic tutorial engine and **not** a source of business logic — every action it
+prompts is a real action against the real API; the guide only narrates, links, and tracks
+progress. It duplicates no business logic: routes for the two scenario-backed steps
+(return, duplicate-merge) are resolved from the live `GET /api/v1/demo/manifest` response
+rather than hardcoded, so they can never point at a stale or missing record.
+
+## Where it lives
+
+- `frontend/src/data/demoGuideSteps.ts` — the eight step definitions (title, what you'll
+  see, why it matters, the exact start action, the expected outcome, and a `route()`
+  function).
+- `frontend/src/context/DemoGuideContext.tsx` — open/close state and step progress,
+  persisted to `sessionStorage` only (browser-local, never touches auth or business
+  state; a "Demo opnieuw voorbereiden" restart or a new browser session starts fresh).
+- `frontend/src/components/DemoGuide.tsx` — the panel itself and its topbar trigger
+  (`DemoGuideTrigger`, Operations-Manager-only, since all eight steps require that role).
+
+## The eight steps
+
+1. **Understand the operational state** — the dashboard's readiness and attention queue.
+2. **Open the booking needing attention** — `BK-DEMO-RETURN`, resolved from the manifest.
+3. **Process the return with an odometer anomaly** — same booking; the return form is
+   pre-filled with the suspicious reading (see [`demo-scenarios.md`](demo-scenarios.md)
+   scenario 1).
+4. **Handle the created data-quality issue** — the fresh odometer-regression issue that
+   step 3 just created.
+5. **Review and merge the possible duplicate customer** — `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`.
+6. **Ask the procedure assistant a question** — one of the suggested questions.
+7. **Check automation and the audit trail**.
+8. **Review what's real, simulated, or not yet connected** — the About page.
+
+## How progression works
+
+- **"Ga naar deze stap"** navigates to the step's resolved route without marking it done.
+- **"Volgende"** marks the current step complete and advances the index (used for steps
+  with no dedicated in-page continuation, like the knowledge-assistant step).
+- Several real actions (a successful return, a resolved data-quality issue) show their
+  own **"Ga verder met de demo"** button that both completes the current step and
+  navigates straight to the next one — this is how the guide chains through steps 3→4→5
+  without a detour back through the panel's own controls.
+- The step list on the panel lets you jump directly to any step.
+- **"Demo opnieuw voorbereiden"** calls the real reset endpoint, resets the guide's own
+  progress, and returns to the login screen — mirroring the existing sidebar reset
+  control, not a separate implementation.
+
+## A known, deliberate limitation: suggested questions stay in English
+
+The demo knowledge base's five procedure documents (`knowledge/procedures/*.md`) are
+written in English. Verified empirically while building step 6: an equivalent Dutch
+question returned `insufficient` evidence against the demo provider, while the English
+original returned `grounded`. Rather than mistranslate the demo's centerpiece "grounded
+answer" feature into something that silently answers incorrectly, the suggested questions
+on `/knowledge` and this guide's step 6 instructions stay in English, with the guide
+explicitly explaining why in Dutch. Retranslating the procedure documents themselves was
+judged out of scope for a demo-productization pass (see the language-split note in
+`docs/demo-release/current-demo-gap-audit.md`, gap #11).
+
+## Layout note: the panel reserves space, it doesn't overlap content
+
+On desktop the panel is a fixed 400px-wide right-side overlay. `Layout.tsx` adds a
+`guide-open` class to the main workspace while the guide is open, which reserves
+`padding-right` so page content reflows aside instead of sitting underneath the panel —
+this was a real bug found and fixed while building the full guided-demo Playwright test
+(see `PROJECT_STATE.md`, Batch 6): without it, the return form's "Review return" button
+was unclickable while the guide was open at ordinary desktop widths.

+## Starting the demo (any environment)
+
+Open the deployed URL (Unraid review: `http://192.168.10.150:1236`; local:
+`http://localhost:1228`). The login screen names the fictional organisation, states that
+all data is synthetic and all workflows are really implemented, and offers:
+
+- **Start begeleide demo** — logs in as Operations Manager and opens the Demo Guide at
+  step 1.
+- **Verken als Operations Manager** / **Verken als Rental Employee** — free exploration,
+  no guide.
+
+No password is shown or required for either path.
+
+## Five-minute demo (guided)
+
+1. Click **Start begeleide demo**.
+2. Follow steps 1–3: dashboard → the booking needing attention → confirm the pre-filled
+   odometer-anomaly return.
+3. Step 4: resolve the data-quality issue the return just created (any decision is fine
+   for a quick pass — "Retain canonical" is the fastest).
+4. Step 6: ask a suggested knowledge question and show the cited source.
+5. Step 7: show the automation/audit trail link-through.
+6. Close with step 8, the About page's honest real/synthetic/not-connected breakdown.
+
+## Ten-minute demo (guided + one extra scenario)
+
+Do the five-minute path above, then from `/scenarios`:
+
+- Run **scenario 2** (duplicate customer merge) if not already done via the guide's own
+  step 5.
+- Run **scenario 3** (booking overlap) — `/data-quality`, resolve `DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP`.
+- Run **scenario 4** (failed automation retry) — `/automation`, filter to failed, retry.
+
+All five scenarios can be run in any order and are independent of each other.
+
+## Resetting the environment
+
+Any Operations Manager can reset from: the sidebar ("Reset demo data"), the Demo Guide
+panel ("Demo opnieuw voorbereiden"), or the About page (points to the sidebar control).
+Reset requires confirmation, rebuilds the deterministic dataset with a fresh date anchor,
+runs a server-side scenario-integrity check, and signs the acting session out (the server
+invalidates the session as part of reset). It only ever touches MobilityOps's own tables
+— never shared n8n, RAGcore, or MCP data, other containers, or volumes. It can be
+disabled entirely via `DEMO_ALLOW_RESET=false` if an environment must not be rebuildable.
+
+## Redeploying to Unraid
+
+```bash
+# From a clean local checkout on the target branch/commit:
+git archive --format=tar.gz -o /tmp/mobilityops-source.tar.gz HEAD
+scp /tmp/mobilityops-source.tar.gz unraid:/mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops/.deploy/source-<short-sha>.tar.gz
+ssh unraid "cd /mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops \
+  && tar -xzf .deploy/source-<short-sha>.tar.gz \
+  && echo <full-sha> > .deploy/source-revision"
+
+# Rebuild only what changed (api and/or web); db is never rebuilt:
+ssh unraid "cd /mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops \
+  && docker compose -p mobilityops -f compose.yaml -f compose.unraid.yaml up --build -d api web"
+
+# Confirm migrations and reseed:
+ssh unraid "cd /mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops \
+  && docker compose -p mobilityops -f compose.yaml -f compose.unraid.yaml exec -T api python -m alembic current \
+  && docker compose -p mobilityops -f compose.yaml -f compose.unraid.yaml exec -T api python -m app.cli seed --reset"
+```
+
+Extraction preserves the server's existing `.env` and named volumes (Postgres data, n8n
+data) — the tarball never contains `.env` since it's gitignored. Never edit source
+directly on the server; never deploy uncommitted changes.
+
+## Rollback
+
+`.deploy/source-revision` on the server records exactly which commit is live. Prior
+source tarballs remain in `.deploy/` for rollback: extract an earlier
+`source-<short-sha>.tar.gz`, update `source-revision` to match, and re-run the rebuild
+step above. Database rollback is out of scope for this demo (migrations are additive;
+there has been no destructive migration on this branch).
+
+## Server safety (Unraid)
+
+Only touch the `mobilityops` Compose project's own `api`/`web` services (and `db` only
+via migrations, never manually). Never stop other containers, run `docker system prune`,
+delete unrecognised images/networks/volumes, delete the MobilityOps database, overwrite
+the server `.env`, print secrets, start a second permanent n8n instance, or activate
+guessed RAGcore/MCP URLs. PostgreSQL is never exposed externally.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **A scenario shows "Niet beschikbaar" on `/scenarios`**: it has already been resolved
+  since the last reset (expected once you've worked through it) — reset to restore it.
+- **Knowledge question returns "insufficient evidence"**: check the question is in
+  English and close to one of the suggested phrasings — the demo knowledge base is
+  English-only (see `demo-guide.md`).
+- **n8n shows a failed delivery that isn't the seeded demo one**: check `/automation`'s
+  filter and retry — bounded retries mean it should self-heal within
+  `n8n_max_attempts` attempts, or can be retried manually by an Operations Manager.

+# Demo scenarios
+
+Five fixed scenarios are surfaced at `/scenarios` and via `GET /api/v1/demo/manifest`'s
+`scenarios` array, which derives each scenario's `ready`/`blocked_reason` from the actual
+underlying records — never hardcoded. All five are re-findable, using the same public
+references, after every demo reset (see [`demo-data.md`](demo-data.md)).
+
+## 1 — Odometer regression on return
+
+- **Fixed records**: booking `BK-DEMO-RETURN` on vehicle `MO-024`.
+- **Role**: Rental Employee or Operations Manager.
+- **Problem demonstrated**: a return is submitted with an odometer reading lower than the
+  vehicle's canonical reading — usually a data-entry mistake or a return logged against
+  the wrong vehicle.
+- **Flow**: open the booking. The return form is pre-filled with a suspicious reading
+  below `MO-024`'s canonical odometer (the demo never asks a visitor to invent one), with
+  a callout explaining why. Review the server-evaluated preview, then confirm. The
+  canonical odometer is never silently lowered; a data-quality issue is opened
+  automatically and the outcome is queued for delivery to n8n.
+- **Continue**: the result panel links to the vehicle, automation status, and audit
+  trail, plus (inside the guided tour) a "Ga verder met de demo" button.
+
+## 2 — Possible duplicate customer
+
+- **Fixed records**: customers `CUS-0012` and `CUS-0178` (same email/phone), issue
+  `DQ-DEMO-DUPLICATE`.
+- **Role**: Operations Manager (merge is a bounded, audited action).
+- **Problem demonstrated**: two customer profiles that are very likely the same person,
+  registered twice — a risk for split booking history and duplicate contact.
+- **Flow**: open the issue, compare both profiles field by field, choose which survives,
+  and merge. The losing profile becomes a tombstone linked to the survivor; its bookings
+  are rewired. The result is recorded in the audit trail.
+
+## 3 — Overlapping bookings
+
+- **Fixed records**: vehicle `MO-016`, bookings `BK-DEMO-OVERLAP-A`/`BK-DEMO-OVERLAP-B`,
+  issue `DQ-DEMO-OVERLAP`.
+- **Role**: Operations Manager.
+- **Problem demonstrated**: the same vehicle committed to two overlapping reservations —
+  a legacy-import-style conflict that a normal booking command would reject outright.
+- **Flow**: open the issue, choose which of the two bookings to block; the other keeps
+  its current status.
+
+## 4 — Failed automation, retried
+
+- **Fixed record**: a seeded outbox event (`00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000020`,
+  `BK-H-0020`) that is durably `failed` immediately after every reset — a safe, simulated
+  connection error, not a deliberately destabilised n8n configuration.
+- **Role**: Operations Manager.
+- **Problem demonstrated**: bounded retries and visible failure/recovery state for
+  workflow delivery, rather than a silent drop.
+- **Flow**: open Automation, filter to failed deliveries, retry the event; it moves out
+  of the failed filter once delivered.
+
+## 5 — Grounded procedure question
+
+- **Role**: Rental Employee or Operations Manager.
+- **Problem demonstrated**: an operational question gets an answer with a citation from
+  the demo knowledge base — or an honest "insufficient evidence" if nothing indexed
+  answers it — never an invented answer.
+- **Flow**: open Knowledge, click one of the suggested questions (English, matching the
+  indexed procedure content — see the note in [`demo-guide.md`](demo-guide.md) about why
+  suggested questions stay in English even though the rest of the demo narrates in
+  Dutch), and inspect the cited source and evidence state.
+
+## A sixth scenario exists but isn't one of the five requested
+
+`docs/13-seed-and-demo-scenarios.md`'s **S3** ("missing inspection before next booking",
+vehicle `MO-031`) is also seeded and shows up in the attention queue; it isn't surfaced
+on `/scenarios` because the brief names five specific scenarios, but it remains available
+for anyone exploring the attention queue directly.

+
+## Remaining "MobilityOps" mentions (user-facing)
+
+- `frontend/index.html:7` — `<title>MobilityOps</title>`; `:6` meta description.
+- `frontend/src/components/Layout.tsx:178` — sidebar brand lockup `<strong>MobilityOps</strong>`.
+- `frontend/src/components/Layout.tsx:232` — global search `aria-label`/visually-hidden
+  label "Search MobilityOps".
+- `frontend/src/components/Layout.tsx:299` — footer `<span>MobilityOps PoC</span>` (also
+  the "PoC" mention to remove).
+- `frontend/src/pages/Login.tsx:27` — the manifest-fallback org description string.
+- `frontend/src/pages/AboutDemo.tsx:32,63,71` — page heading and two body paragraphs.
+- `frontend/src/pages/Knowledge.tsx:108` — empty-state copy.
+- `frontend/src/pages/BookingDetail.tsx:80` — scenario callout copy.
+- `frontend/src/data/demoGuideSteps.ts:91` — step 8's expected-outcome text.
+- `backend/app/services/demo_manifest.py:24` — `ORGANIZATION_DESCRIPTION` (the string
+  `Login.tsx:27` falls back to when the manifest hasn't loaded yet — both need updating
+  together to avoid a flash of stale branding).
+- `backend/app/main.py:36` — FastAPI `title="MobilityOps API"` (visible in the OpenAPI/
+  Swagger UI a reviewer might open; low-risk to rename since it's a display string, not a
+  route or contract field).
+- **`knowledge/procedures/*.md` — user-facing, appears directly in cited answer text**:
+  `02-vehicle-return.md`, `03-damage-handling.md` (also says "PoC"), `05-cleaning-
+  checklist.md`, `07-customer-documents.md` (also says "PoC"), `09-booking-conflicts.md`
+  all say "MobilityOps" in prose that gets quoted verbatim as a knowledge-assistant
+  answer excerpt — these must be rebranded too, not just the app chrome.
+- e2e tests asserting on the string "MobilityOps" that must be updated alongside the
+  rename (not gaps, just dependencies): `demo-accessibility.spec.ts`, `demo-entry.spec.ts`,
+  `guided-demo-full.spec.ts` (About-page heading), `ui-redesign.spec.ts` (4× "Search
+  MobilityOps" combobox name).
+
+**Kept as technical identifiers** (per the brief, not renamed): Git repo `Jens/MobilityOps`,
+local repo folder name, Compose project `mobilityops`, deployment dir
+`/mnt/user/appdata/mobilityops`, Postgres db/user `mobilityops`, `knowledge/manifest.json`'s
+`"workspace": "mobilityops"` (a RAGcore-workspace config value), frontend package name
+`mobilityops-web`, and the internal API route prefix conventions.
+
+## Language problems (no i18n exists at all)
+
+- `frontend/package.json` has no i18n library (`i18next`/`react-i18next`/etc. absent).
+- There is no language switcher anywhere and no persisted language preference.
+- The existing UI mixes English (Dashboard, Vehicles, Bookings, Data Quality workbench,
+  Audit, Automation internals — all shipped in Task-B's demo-productization pass) and
+  Dutch (Login, Demo Guide, Scenarios, About, demo badge — added in the same pass) by a
+  documented, deliberate scope decision at the time. That decision must now be superseded:
+  the brief requires one true default (nl-BE) with working en-GB/fr-BE switching across
+  the **entire** application, so the English-language existing screens are now in scope
+  for translation, not just new surfaces.
+- The demo knowledge base (`knowledge/procedures/*.md`) is English-only; a Dutch or French
+  question against it returns `insufficient` evidence (verified empirically in the prior
+  work) — this is a real gap for the trilingual guided demo requirement.
+
+## Remaining technical user-facing language
+
+- `frontend/src/pages/Automation.tsx:183` — `{r.event_type}` rendered raw (e.g.
+  `vehicle.returned.v1`) in the primary ledger table, no human label.
+- `frontend/src/pages/Automation.tsx:91` — "delivered through the outbox" in primary copy.
+- `frontend/src/pages/Audit.tsx:129` — `{e.correlation_id.slice(0, 8)}` shown as the
+  visible `<summary>` trigger text for technical detail, not a meaningful reference.
+- `frontend/src/pages/DataQualityIssueDetail.tsx:341,366` — "canonical odometer" used
+  directly in primary decision copy, not translated to an operational phrase.
+- No central technical→human terminology mapping exists anywhere in the frontend.
+
+## Demo Guide panel problems
+
+- `frontend/src/components/DemoGuide.tsx` + the `@media (min-width: 701px)` rule in
+  `styles.css` implement exactly **one** behaviour for every desktop/tablet width ≥701px:
+  a fixed 400px right-side panel with `.app-workspace.guide-open { padding-right:
+  min(400px, 92vw) }` reserving space. There is no distinction between "extra-wide
+  desktop, dock + reflow with a guaranteed minimum content width" and "standard desktop/
+  tablet, floating non-modal sheet that auto-collapses to a progress chip" as the brief
+  now requires — today the panel never collapses to a chip at all; it only fully opens
+  or fully closes.
+- "Ga naar deze stap" (`DemoGuide.tsx`'s `goToStepRoute()`) only calls `navigate(...)`; it
+  does not scroll to or focus the relevant target element, and does not auto-collapse the
+  panel afterward.
+- No semantic target anchors exist on pages for the guide to scroll/focus toward.
+- Reduced-motion is not explicitly handled for the panel's open/close or any future
+  collapse/expand transition.
+
+## Data Quality Workbench contrast and hierarchy
+
+- Confirmed by direct inspection of `DataQualityIssueDetail.tsx`: only the odometer-
+  regression decision (lines 349,358) uses the higher-contrast `.check-card` treatment
+  (`background: var(--surface-subtle); border: 1px solid var(--line); padding: 10px 12px`).
+  Every other decision point — `DuplicateCustomerPanel`'s survivor choice (134,143) and
+  per-field merge choice (172,187), and `BookingOverlapPanel`'s block-choice (459) — uses
+  the bare `.checkbox-label` class: a small inline radio with no card background, no
+  border, no selected-state treatment, and no visible risk/consequence copy next to the
+  option. This is the inconsistency the brief describes as "kleine losse radioknoppen in
+  een zwak omlijnde rij."
+- Resolve/defer/reject already have some visual differentiation (`button-primary` for the
+  main resolution action inside each panel; a separate "Defer or reject" section below),
+  but defer and reject are rendered as two identically-weighted plain `<button>` elements
+  with no secondary/tertiary visual distinction from each other.
+- No sticky/always-visible action bar exists within longer resolution panels.
+
+## Automation/audit density
+
+- `frontend/src/pages/Automation.tsx`'s delivery ledger renders every one of the ~20
+  seeded `succeeded` events as an individual flat table row with only a status-text
+  filter (`pending`/`delivering`/`succeeded`/`failed`) — no grouping/summarization of
+  repeated successes, and event references are raw 8-character UUID slices with no
+  meaningful short display reference scheme.
+- `frontend/src/pages/Audit.tsx` shows one row per raw audit event; my prior "View related
+  events" filter (added in the demo-productization pass) lets a user filter down to a
+  correlation group, but does not present that group as one collapsed operational summary
+  by default — a visitor still sees N separate technical rows even after filtering.
+- Before/after is already shown as a computed diff string (`describeChanges()`), not raw
+  JSON, which partially satisfies 8C already — but the diff is a flat semicolon-joined
+  string, not the labelled multi-line "Status: A → B" presentation the brief shows.
+
+## Rows that are not fully clickable
+
+- **Attention Queue** (`Dashboard.tsx:126-146`, `.attention-list li`): only the `<Link>`
+  wrapping the item's title text is interactive; the severity badge, detail text, ref,
+  and chevron are inert. Confirmed by direct markup inspection.
+- **Today's movements** (`Dashboard.tsx:153-161`, `.movement-timeline li`): only the
+  `<Link>` wrapping the booking reference is interactive; each row unambiguously points
+  to one booking, so this qualifies for the same fully-clickable-row treatment.
+- **Recent activity** (`Dashboard.tsx:220-224`, `.recent-list li`): has **no** link at all
+  today, and there is no existing single-record detail page for an individual automation
+  event to point to — out of scope for "make it clickable" per the brief's own
+  "alleen wanneer de volledige rij ondubbelzinnig naar één bestemming verwijst" carve-out;
+  left as-is unless a natural destination is introduced elsewhere in this pass.
+- Scenario cards (`Scenarios.tsx`) already use a single full-card "Start scenario" link
+  per card with no competing interactive elements inside — already compliant, no change
+  needed.
+
+## Plan (implementation order)
+
+1. Rebrand to Fleet Ops (frontend strings, backend description strings, knowledge
+   procedure prose, index.html, e2e assertions) — batch, tested, committed.
+2. i18n architecture: add `i18next`/`react-i18next`, language switcher, persistence,
+   `html lang`, `Intl` formatting, namespaces, fail-fast missing-key check.
+3. Translate all existing screens + new demo surfaces into nl-BE/en-GB/fr-BE.
+4. Backend message-code fields for data-quality reasons/recommended actions/return
+   reasons/integration statuses/audit actions/errors; frontend localizes.
+5. Multilingual knowledge base (5 procedures × 3 locales) + locale-aware provider lookup.
+6. Adaptive Demo Guide: docked-rail / floating-sheet+chip / mobile-bottom-sheet behaviour,
+   scroll-to-target + focus + highlight, reduced motion.
+7. Data Quality Workbench: choice cards everywhere, sticky action bar, de-emphasized
+   defer/reject, contrast fixes.
+8. Central terminology mapping layer (nl/en/fr) used in Automation/Audit/Data-Quality.
+9. Automation ledger grouping/filtering + retry UX narration.
+10. Audit trail human action labels + correlation-grouped summary + labelled diffs.
+11. Fully clickable Attention Queue + Today's movements rows, with tests.
+12. Responsive pass across the 7 required breakpoints × 3 languages.
+13. Full test suite additions (i18n, branding, guide, quality, queue, automation/audit,
+    trilingual guided demo).
+14. Clean-checkout drill.
+15. Deploy feature branch to Unraid for final validation.
+16. Safe merge to `master` (the repository's actual main branch) + redeploy + final
+    evidence at `artifacts/fleet-ops-release/final-summary.md`.

+# Current functional audit
+
+Performed 2026-08-02 against source `feat/mobilityops-functional-completion` (branched from
+`design/mobilityops-premium-ui` @ `54dc952`) and the live Unraid deployment at
+`http://192.168.10.150:1236` (same revision — see `server-baseline.md`). Findings below are
+either reproduced directly (curl against the live server, or reading the exact source lines)
+or are structural gaps confirmed against the task's own explicit requirements. Items already
+on record as accepted PoC tradeoffs (`docs/deferred.md`, `docs/01-scope-and-non-goals.md`,
+`PROJECT_STATE.md` known-limitations) are excluded — this file only lists items that are
+genuinely open.
+
+## Method
+
+- Full read of `backend/app/api/routers/*.py`, `backend/app/api/deps.py`,
+  `backend/app/services/returns.py`, `backend/app/models/*.py`,
+  `frontend/src/pages/*.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/Layout.tsx`,
+  `frontend/src/context/AuthContext.tsx`, `frontend/src/App.tsx`.
+- Live curl verification against `http://192.168.10.150:1236` for the auth/role findings.
+- Cross-checked every finding against `docs/deferred.md`,
+  `artifacts/final-acceptance/summary.md`, and the latest `PROJECT_STATE.md` sections to
+  avoid re-flagging already-accepted tradeoffs.
+
+## Findings
+
+### F1 — Vehicles page renders the unfiltered array (client-side search is inert)
+
+- Severity: high. Role: both. Route: `/vehicles`. Component:
+  `frontend/src/pages/Vehicles.tsx`.
+- Repro: type any text into the "Search" box on the Vehicles page. The row count label
+  (`{filtered.length} vehicles`) updates and the empty state correctly appears when nothing
+  matches, but the `<tbody>` mapped over the raw `vehicles` array, not the computed
+  `filtered` array — every original row stayed visible regardless of the search text.
+- Expected: only rows matching the search (combined with the status/attention filters)
+  render.
+- Cause: `vehicles.map(...)` at the table body instead of `filtered.map(...)` (line 78 as
+  originally read).
+- Reproduces locally: yes (read). Reproduces on Unraid: yes (identical bundled source,
+  `source-revision` matches).
+- Fix: **applied** — render body now maps `filtered`. Regression test:
+  `frontend/e2e/*.spec.ts` search-changes-rows case (added in Batch 1).
+
+### F2 — Bookings page renders the unfiltered, unpaginated array
+
+- Severity: high. Role: both. Route: `/bookings`. Component:
+  `frontend/src/pages/Bookings.tsx`.
+- Repro: same class of bug — `visible` (filtered + sliced to 25/page) was computed and used
+  for the meta line and pagination controls, but `<tbody>` mapped over the raw `bookings`
+  array. All bookings rendered on every page regardless of filter or page number.
+- Cause: `bookings.map(...)` instead of `visible.map(...)`.
+- Fix: **applied** — render body now maps `visible`. Added a page-clamp effect so `page`
+  cannot point past the last valid page when the filtered set shrinks (e.g. after a status
+  filter reload returns fewer results than the current page implies).
+- Reproduces locally/Unraid: yes/yes.
+
+### F3 — Session state is `sessionStorage`-authoritative, not server-verified
+
+- Severity: high. Role: both. Component: `frontend/src/context/AuthContext.tsx`.
+- The logged-in `user` object is read from and written to `sessionStorage`
+  (`mobilityops.demo-user`) directly; there is no call on app start to verify the HttpOnly
+  session cookie is still valid, and `logout()` only clears local state — it never calls the
+  server to invalidate the cookie. A stale/edited `sessionStorage` entry (or a cookie that
+  expired server-side) will keep protected pages rendering as if authenticated until the
+  first API call 401s, and even then nothing centrally redirects to `/login` (`isSessionExpired`
+  helper exists in the same file but is never imported/called anywhere).
+- Live confirmation: no `GET /api/v1/demo/session` or `POST /api/v1/demo/logout` endpoint
+  exists yet (`curl` returns 404 for both against the live server).
+- Fix: Batch 1 — add both endpoints server-side, make `AuthProvider` verify against
+  `GET /demo/session` on load, call `POST /demo/logout` on sign-out, and centrally react to
+  401s from the `api` client.
+
+### F4 — Data-quality workbench has no role gate at all (list, detail, defer, reject)
+
+- Severity: high. Role: Rental Employee. Routes: `/data-quality`, `/data-quality/:ref`.
+  Endpoints: `GET /api/v1/data-quality/issues`, `GET /api/v1/data-quality/issues/{ref}`,
+  `POST .../defer`, `POST .../reject`.
+- Live confirmation: logged in as `rental_employee` on the live server, `GET
+  /api/v1/data-quality/issues` and `GET /api/v1/audit` both returned `200` (curl evidence
+  above). Only `merge-customers` and `scan` are gated to Operations Manager; `defer`/`reject`
+  are not, and the whole workbench is reachable and actionable by Rental Employee both via
+  direct API call and via the UI (`DataQuality.tsx` has no role check at all; `Layout.tsx`
+  shows the "Data quality" and "Audit trail" nav items unconditionally to both roles).
+- The task's role matrix (this brief, section 4) puts data-quality and audit entirely under
+  Operations Manager — Rental Employee's list is dashboard/fleet/vehicle
+  detail/bookings/booking detail/return/knowledge only. Decision recorded: tighten
+  `list_issues`, `get_issue`, `defer`, `reject`, and `GET /api/v1/audit` to
+  `require_operations_manager`; hide the nav items and show the same restricted-message
+  pattern already used by `Automation.tsx` for direct URL access by Rental Employee.
+- Fix: Batch 1.
+
+### F5 — Return preview does not exist; the review step (if any) cannot be authoritative
+
+- Severity: high. Section 5 requirement. No `POST
+  /api/v1/bookings/{public_ref}/return-preview` (or equivalent) endpoint exists anywhere in
+  `backend/app/api/routers/bookings.py`. The frontend return flow can therefore only ever
+  show a client-guessed preview, or skip a real preview step entirely.
+- Fix: Batch 2 — one authoritative evaluation function shared by preview (no writes) and
+  commit.
+
+### F6 — Audit API never exposes `before_json`/`after_json`
+
+- Severity: medium. `AuditEvent` (`backend/app/models/audit.py`) stores `before_json` and
+  `after_json`, populated by `record_audit_event` call sites (e.g. `return_registered`,
+  `vehicle_status_changed`), but `AuditEventOut` (`backend/app/schemas.py`) and the router
+  (`backend/app/api/routers/audit.py`) only ever return `metadata`, never before/after. The
+  UI (`Audit.tsx`) therefore cannot show what changed, only that something happened.
+- Fix: Batch 2 — add `before`/`after` to `AuditEventOut`, resolve a safe entity link where
+  possible, render human-readable before/after in the UI behind progressive disclosure.
+
+### F7 — Data-quality issue evidence is a raw JSON dump for 4 of 5 rule types
+
+- Severity: medium. `DataQualityIssueDetail.tsx`: for every rule type except
+  `possible_duplicate_customer`, the only resolution surface is `<pre>{JSON.stringify(issue.evidence,
+  null, 2)}</pre>` plus generic Defer/Reject buttons. `missing_required_field`,
+  `odometer_regression`, `booking_overlap`, and `vehicle_status_conflict` have no typed,
+  bounded resolution flow at all.
+- Fix: Batch 3.
+
+### F8 — Related-snapshot typing is inferred from rule type, not explicit
+
+- Severity: low. `backend/app/api/routers/data_quality.py::get_issue` infers
+  `related_entity_type = "customer" if issue.rule_type == "possible_duplicate_customer" else
+  "vehicle"` — a `booking_overlap` issue's related entity is actually a booking, not a
+  vehicle, so its snapshot lookup silently returns `None` today. Confirmed by reading
+  `_snapshot()`, which only knows how to look up `customer` or `vehicle` rows.
+- Fix: Batch 3 — typed snapshots for customer/vehicle/booking/inspection.
+
+### F9 — Global search is a blind client-side regex guesser
+
+- Severity: medium. `frontend/src/components/Layout.tsx::handleSearch` pattern-matches
+  `MO-…`/`BK-…`/`DQ-…` and navigates without checking the entity exists, or fuzzy-matches a
+  hardcoded `SEARCH_DESTINATIONS` term list. No backend search endpoint exists. No results
+  panel, no keyboard navigation within results, no role filtering, no debounced live query —
+  it is a single-shot form submit.
+- Fix: Batch 4 — `GET /api/v1/search`.
+
+### F10 — n8n integration status is derived from the single most recent outbox event
+
+- Severity: medium. `Automation.tsx` line: `<StatusBadge status={runs?.[0]?.status ??
+  "no_events"} />` — the "n8n delivery" health card shows whichever status the most recent
+  event happens to be in, not an aggregate of pending/delivering/failed/succeeded counts or
+  dispatcher-enabled state. A single old failed event sitting behind 40 succeeded ones would
+  misreport health; a single lucky success would hide an otherwise-failing dispatcher.
+- Fix: Batch 4 — truthful aggregate integration-status endpoint.
+
+### F11 — Stale `delivering` outbox events have no lease/recovery
+
+- Severity: medium. `backend/app/services/dispatcher.py`: `_claim_due_events` flips rows to
+  `delivering` and commits before the HTTP call; if the process is killed between that commit
+  and the outcome-recording transaction, the row stays `delivering` forever with no timeout
+  or reclaim sweep. Not documented anywhere as an accepted limitation.
+- Fix: Batch 5 — bounded delivery lease + stale-recovery sweep.
+
+### F12 — No UI trigger for demo reset
+
+- Severity: low. `POST /api/v1/demo/reset` exists and is Operations-Manager-gated
+  server-side, but no page exposes a "Run demo reset" action; it can currently only be
+  invoked directly against the API.
+- Fix: Batch 4.
+
+### F13 — No UI trigger for manual data-quality scan
+
+- Severity: low. `POST /api/v1/data-quality/scan` exists and is OM-gated, but
+  `DataQuality.tsx` has no "Run quality scan" button.
+- Fix: Batch 3.
+
+### F14 — Second n8n workflow (scheduled quality scan) not present
+
+- Severity: low, explicitly requested in this brief (section 10C). Only
+  `n8n/mobilityops-return-processing.json` exists.
+- Fix: Batch 5.
+
+## Not re-flagged (already-accepted, on record)
+
+RAGcore/MCP Hub never live-round-tripped (environment limitation, honestly degraded);
+`Inspection.public_ref` sequence not gap-safe under concurrency; DQ idempotency key
+simplified from the doc's literal fingerprint scheme (reasoned, documented deviation); no
+optimistic `version` check on return requests (row-locking already provides the required
+concurrency safety — the doc's "optimistic version where relevant" was not adopted, and nothing in
+this brief requires adding one on top of working pessimistic locking); demo auth is an
+HMAC-cookie PoC mechanism, not a production IdP; n8n owner-account bootstrap remains a
+one-time manual step (n8n 2.x product behavior).
+
+## Next step
+
+Fix F1–F4 now (Batch 1, in progress), continue through F5–F14 in the batches recorded in
+`PROJECT_STATE.md` / the task list, deploying and re-verifying against Unraid after each
+batch per the brief's server-first loop.

+```bash
+docker compose -p mobilityops logs --tail=200 api
+```
+
+No traceback, fatal, or unresolved startup error observed — only routine `GET /health`
+polling entries from the Compose healthcheck.
+
+## Configuration differences vs. the committed repository
+
+None found: deployed source revision, Alembic head, and `.env.example` variable set all
+match the current `design/mobilityops-premium-ui` branch exactly. This baseline was
+captured immediately before any functional-completion work began.
