# Story 1.7: Legacy Schema Compatibility Validation Gate
Status: ready-for-dev
Story
As a an administrator,
I want to run a compatibility check that confirms legacy table schemas are unchanged against the approved baseline,
so that every release can be gated on legacy integrity before deployment.
Acceptance Criteria
Given the compatibility check is triggered When it runs against the live database Then it compares all legacy table structures (column names, types, constraints) against the approved schema baseline stored at initialization
Given a structural change is detected on any legacy table When the check completes Then it returns a failure status with a detailed report identifying the affected table, column, and change type (NFR12)
Given no schema drift is detected When the check completes Then it returns a pass confirmation with timestamp, number of tables verified, and zero drift count
Given the check is integrated into the release pipeline When it fails Then the release is blocked automatically and a failure report is surfaced to the administrator
Given an administrator is logged in When they navigate to the compatibility check feature Then they can trigger the check manually and view the most recent check history with timestamps
Tasks / Subtasks
Implement story behavior in aligned backend/frontend modules (AC: #1)
Add or update API/service/UI components required by the story scope
Keep legacy Access entities read-only and route writes to extension-layer structures
Cover acceptance criteria #2 in implementation and tests (AC: #2)
Add validation/error handling and UX state updates as needed
Cover acceptance criteria #3 in implementation and tests (AC: #3)
Add validation/error handling and UX state updates as needed
Cover acceptance criteria #4 in implementation and tests (AC: #4)
Add validation/error handling and UX state updates as needed
Validate and document completion evidence
Verify build/tests for touched modules
Capture changed files and any migration/config implications
Dev Notes
Follow Epic 1 architecture constraints: ASP.NET Core + React separation, RBAC-aware patterns, and immutable legacy tables.
Reuse shared component and workflow patterns defined in UX and architecture docs; avoid parallel custom implementations.
Keep changes scoped to this story; do not pull forward Epic 2+ features.

so that every release can be gated on legacy integrity before deployment.
## Acceptance Criteria
1. **Given** the compatibility check is triggered **When** it runs against the live database **Then** it compares all legacy table structures (column names, types, constraints) against the approved schema baseline stored at initialization
2. **Given** a structural change is detected on any legacy table **When** the check completes **Then** it returns a failure status with a detailed report identifying the affected table, column, and change type (NFR12)
3. **Given** no schema drift is detected **When** the check completes **Then** it returns a pass confirmation with timestamp, number of tables verified, and zero drift count
4. **Given** the check is integrated into the release pipeline **When** it fails **Then** the release is blocked automatically and a failure report is surfaced to the administrator
5. **Given** an administrator is logged in **When** they navigate to the compatibility check feature **Then** they can trigger the check manually and view the most recent check history with timestamps
