Phase 4 declared complete after human agent (Teressa) confirmed all 7 verification steps pass in browser
No issues found during verification — all must_haves confirmed
Verification checkpoint pattern: human tester walks through numbered steps, types approved or describes issues; executor documents outcome in SUMMARY.md

Phase 4 Plan 04: Human Verification Summary
Agent (Teressa) confirmed the complete PDF ingest flow works end-to-end in the browser: forms library, modal, document creation, PDF rendering with page nav and zoom, file storage, and auth guards all verified as functional.
Performance
Duration: ~1 min (verification checkpoint — no code changes)

Accomplishments
Human agent verified all 7 verification steps pass in the browser
Phase 4 PDF ingest declared complete and approved
All must_have truths confirmed by tester
Checkpoint Verification Results
All 7 steps passed as confirmed by human tester (response: "approved"):
Step
Description
Result
1
Seed a test form and confirm seeder output
PASS
2
"Add Document" button visible on client profile page
PASS
3
Modal opens with searchable forms list; template selection pre-fills name
PASS
4
Custom PDF upload via file picker; name pre-fills from filename
PASS
5
PDF renders in browser on document detail page; Prev/Next, Zoom In/Out, Download, and Back link all work
PASS
6
uploads/clients/{clientId}/ directory contains .pdf files that persist across server restarts
PASS
7
Unauthenticated access to /api/forms-library and /api/documents/[id]/file returns "Unauthorized"
PASS
Must-Haves Confirmed
Agent can open "Add Document" modal from a client profile page
Forms library list appears in the modal (either seeded forms or empty-state message)
Agent can search/filter the forms list by name
Agent can add a document via template selection and see it appear in the documents list
Agent can upload a custom PDF via the file picker and see it appear in the documents list
Agent can click a document name and reach the document detail page
PDF renders in the browser on the document detail page — pages visible, not blank
Page navigation (Prev/Next) and Zoom In/Out controls work
Download button downloads the PDF
Task Commits
This plan is a human verification checkpoint — no code was written. Previous plans' commits provide the implementation:
63e5888 feat(04-03): add AddDocumentModal, PdfViewer, and document detail page
7ddb920 docs(04-02): complete PDF API routes plan summary
32e129c feat(04-02): create POST /api/documents and GET /api/documents/[id]/file routes
e0f180c feat(04-02): create GET /api/forms-library authenticated template list
c830951 docs(04-01): complete PDF ingest data layer plan summary
Files Created/Modified
None — this was a verification-only checkpoint plan.
Decisions Made
Phase 4 declared complete: all 7 browser verification steps passed without issue
No gaps discovered during human testing; no follow-up plans needed before Phase 5
Deviations from Plan
None - plan executed exactly as written. Human tester confirmed "approved" without identifying issues.
Issues Encountered
None — verification passed cleanly on first attempt.
User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.
Next Phase Readiness
Phase 4 complete. Phase 5 (field mapping) is unblocked:
uploads/clients/{clientId}/ directory structure established and confirmed working
Relative paths stored in DB (clients/{clientId}/{uuid}.pdf) — Phase 5 can locate documents reliably
react-pdf v9 is installed and rendering correctly — Phase 5 field overlay layer can be added on top of existing PdfViewer
Document status is "draft" on creation — Phase 5 can advance status as fields are filled
Blockers for later phases (unchanged):
WFRMLS vendor enrollment takes 2-4 weeks — start process immediately
Phase 6 (Signing Flow) warrants a /gsd:research-phase before planning
DNS (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) for teressacopelandhomes.com must be configured before signing links reach real clients
