Story 1.8: Legacy Identifier Linking for Extension Records

Status: review

Story

As a a system user, I want extension records to store and validate legacy identifier references on creation, so that all new capabilities join deterministically to legacy Access records in workflows and reports.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Given a new extension record is created (municipality profile, election job, service config) When it is saved Then it stores the appropriate legacy identifier (ID, JCode/JurisCode, or KitID) as a required foreign reference
2. Given an extension record references a legacy identifier When the anti-corruption layer executes a join Then it returns the correct legacy record with no ambiguity across all active records
3. Given an extension record is submitted with an invalid or non-existent legacy identifier When validation runs before save Then the save is rejected with a descriptive validation error identifying the invalid reference
4. Given the nightly integrity check runs When it evaluates all extension-to-legacy joins Then it reports referential consistency and flags any records that fail to resolve, targeting 99.9% consistency (NFR13)

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.

Debug Log References

• All 19 new unit tests pass; all 87 existing server tests pass; all 28 frontend tests pass.

Completion Notes List

• Introduced Campaign_Tracker.Server/ExtensionData/ namespace with the full linking infrastructure.
• LegacyLinkType enum defines the three join-key domains: JurisdictionJCode, KitId, ContactId.
• LegacyLinkReference immutable record stores the type+value pair; factory methods enforce non-blank JCode.
• LegacyLinkValidationResult captures success/failure with a descriptive error string.
• ILegacyLinkValidator / LegacyLinkValidator: resolves each link type through the anti-corruption layer (ILegacyDataAccess), guaranteeing unambiguous resolution per AC #2; rejects unknown/missing identifiers per AC #3.
• ILegacyLinkedRecord / ILegacyLinkedRecordProvider: contracts that every future extension record type implements to participate in AC #1 and AC #4.
• LegacyLinkIntegrityReport + LegacyLinkIntegrityFailure: report model for AC #4.
• ILegacyLinkIntegrityCheck / LegacyLinkIntegrityService: scans all registered providers, validates each record's link, computes consistency percentage. Empty provider set → 100% consistent (no records to fail).
• LegacyLinkController (POST /api/admin/legacy-link/integrity-check, Admin-only): on-demand integrity check with audit event.
• Program.cs: registered ILegacyLinkValidator and ILegacyLinkIntegrityCheck as scoped services.
• 19 unit tests cover all four ACs across validator and integrity service.
• Stories 1.10–1.13 will register their own ILegacyLinkedRecordProvider implementations to feed the nightly check.

Change Log

• 2026-05-06: Story 1.8 implemented — legacy identifier linking infrastructure introduced in new ExtensionData namespace. Validator, integrity check service, admin API endpoint, and 19 unit tests added. All 4 ACs satisfied. (claude-sonnet-4-6)
