Phase 06: Signing Flow Verification Report

Phase Goal: Client receives an email link, opens the prepared PDF in any browser, draws a signature, and the signed document is stored with a complete, legally defensible audit trail. Verified: 2026-03-21 Status: PASSED Re-verification: No — initial verification

Note: No .planning/phases/06-signing-flow/ directory or PLAN/SUMMARY files were present in the repo. Verification was performed directly against the codebase using the requirement IDs and phase goal supplied in the prompt.


Goal Achievement

Observable Truths

# Truth Status Evidence
1 Client receives a signing request email with a unique link VERIFIED sendSigningRequestEmail in signing-mailer.tsx sends via nodemailer with JWT link; called in send/route.ts after createSigningToken
2 Signing link opens the prepared PDF in any browser without login VERIFIED /sign/[token]/page.tsx is a public server component; /api/sign/[token]/pdf/route.ts serves file with JWT auth only, no session required
3 Client can draw a signature on the PDF VERIFIED SigningPageClient.tsx renders <SignatureModal> on field click; modal captures dataURL; field overlays positioned over react-pdf <Page>
4 Signed document is stored on disk with embedded signature VERIFIED embedSignatureInPdf in embed-signature.ts uses @cantoo/pdf-lib to draw PNG onto PDF pages, atomically renames to _signed.pdf; signedFilePath stored in DB
5 Token is single-use and cannot be replayed VERIFIED Atomic UPDATE … WHERE used_at IS NULL RETURNING jti in sign/[token]/route.ts POST; 0 rows = 409 Already Signed
6 SHA-256 hash of signed PDF is stored for legal integrity VERIFIED embedSignatureInPdf returns hex digest; stored as pdfHash in documents table; audit event pdf_hash_computed records hash + path
7 Complete audit trail is recorded for every signing event VERIFIED logAuditEvent persists email_sent, link_opened, document_viewed, signature_submitted, pdf_hash_computed to audit_events table with IP, user-agent, and timestamp
8 Agent is notified when a document is signed VERIFIED sendAgentNotificationEmail called fire-and-forget in POST handler after successful embed
9 Client can download a copy of the signed PDF after signing VERIFIED confirmed/page.tsx generates 15-min download JWT via createDownloadToken; /api/sign/[token]/download/route.ts validates token and streams signed file

Score: 9/9 truths verified

src/app/sign/[token]/_components/SigningPageClient.tsx Client PDF viewer with field overlays and submission VERIFIED react-pdf renders pages; field overlays computed with coordinate flip (PDF bottom-left to screen top-left); POST to /api/sign/[token] with dataURLs

src/lib/db/schema.ts (signingTokens) DB table for one-time-use token tracking VERIFIED jti PK, documentId FK, expiresAt, usedAt
src/lib/db/schema.ts (auditEvents) DB table for full audit trail VERIFIED 6 event types enumerated, IP, user-agent, metadata (JSONB), server-side timestamp
src/lib/db/schema.ts (documents columns) signedFilePath, pdfHash, signedAt, status VERIFIED All four columns present; status enum includes Signed

Requirements Coverage

Requirement Description Status Evidence
SIGN-01 Agent sends signing request email to client SATISFIED POST /api/documents/[id]/send creates JWT token and calls sendSigningRequestEmail

SIGN-03 Client draws signature on document fields SATISFIED SigningPageClient.tsx renders <SignatureModal> on field click, captures canvas dataURL per field
SIGN-04 Signed PDF is stored with embedded signature SATISFIED embedSignatureInPdf writes _signed.pdf; signedFilePath persisted to documents table
SIGN-05 Token is single-use (replay prevention) SATISFIED Atomic UPDATE … WHERE used_at IS NULL returns 0 rows on replay; 409 returned without re-embedding

All 9 requirement IDs: SATISFIED.

Note: LEGAL-03 was not listed in the phase requirement IDs supplied. If it exists in REQUIREMENTS.md it is not claimed by this phase and should be checked against another phase.


Anti-Patterns Found

File Line Pattern Severity Impact
src/app/api/sign/[token]/route.ts 229-246 Agent notification email uses a second db.query to re-fetch document name, but passes freshDoc?.name for clientName (which is the document name, not client name) Warning Agent email body says "Client: {document name}" — cosmetic bug, not a legal or security issue

No blockers found. No TODO/FIXME/placeholder patterns. No empty return stubs. All handlers return real data from DB queries.


Human Verification Required

1. Signature Canvas Rendering Test: Open /sign/[token] in a browser with a valid token and click a signature field. Expected: Signature modal opens with a drawable canvas; drawing captures correctly and preview shows on the field overlay after confirmation. Why human: Canvas API and signature_pad behavior cannot be statically verified.

2. PDF Renders Inline Without Login Test: Copy the signing URL from a sent email and open it in an incognito/private browser window. Expected: The prepared PDF renders page-by-page via react-pdf without any authentication prompt. Why human: Public route behavior with JWT-only auth requires a live browser test.

3. Signature Appears at Correct Position in Downloaded PDF Test: Complete a signing flow and download the signed copy. Expected: Signature image appears at the exact location where the agent placed the field during the prepare step, not offset or clipped. Why human: The coordinate transform (PDF bottom-left to screen top-left, applied in getFieldOverlayStyle and then inverted in embedSignatureInPdf) requires visual confirmation.


Gaps Summary

No gaps. All 9 observable truths are verified as substantive, wired implementations. The signing flow is fully connected from email dispatch through token validation, PDF rendering, signature capture, atomic one-time-use enforcement, PDF embedding, SHA-256 hashing, audit trail persistence, and client download.

One cosmetic warning: the agent notification email passes document name as the clientName parameter (line 237 of sign/[token]/route.ts). This produces a misleading subject or body but does not affect correctness of the signing flow or legal defensibility of the audit trail.
