# Project State

## Project Reference

**Core value:** Teressa can prepare and send any real estate form to a client for signing in minutes, from her browser, without leaving her site.
**Current focus:** Phase 8 — Schema Foundation and Signing Page Safety (v1.1 start)

## Current Position

Phase: 8 of 13 (Schema Foundation and Signing Page Safety)
Plan: 0 of 2 in current phase
Status: Ready to plan
Last activity: 2026-03-21 — v1.1 roadmap created (phases 8-13 defined); v1.0 complete (phases 1-7 all shipped)

Progress: [███████░░░░░░] 54% (7/13 phases complete)

## Performance Metrics

**Velocity:**
- Total plans completed: 28 (v1.0 complete)
- Average duration: ~4 min/plan
- Total execution time: ~2 hours

**By Phase:**

| Phase | Plans | Avg/Plan |
|-------|-------|----------|

## Accumulated Context

### Decisions

Decisions are logged in PROJECT.md Key Decisions table.
Recent decisions affecting v1.1 work:

- [v1.1 Research]: Use pdfjs-dist legacy build (already installed via react-pdf) for server-side PDF text extraction — no new dependency
- [v1.1 Research]: Use manual `json_schema` response_format for OpenAI — do NOT use `zodResponseFormat` (broken with Zod v4, confirmed issues #1540, #1602, #1709)
- [v1.1 Research]: Agent signature stored as base64 PNG TEXT column on users table (2-8KB) — no new file storage needed
- [v1.1 Research]: Phase 8 must ship atomically (schema discriminant + signing page filter) before any new field type can be placed or sent

### Pending Todos

None yet.

### Blockers/Concerns

- [Phase 12]: Deployment target (Vercel serverless vs. self-hosted container) must be confirmed before implementing preview route — write-to-disk preview pattern silently fails on Vercel serverless (ephemeral filesystem)
- [Phase 13]: AI coordinate accuracy on real Utah forms is untested — integration test with full 20-page Utah REPC required before Phase 13 ships
