Validate scroll completion before acknowledgement
epic-driver-and-confidentiality-management-core-services-task-011 — Add scroll validation to the declaration acknowledgement service. The service must reject acknowledgement submissions where the scroll_to_bottom flag is false, returning a descriptive validation error. This enforces that drivers have read the full document before signing, satisfying the legal requirement that the content was presented in full.

Implementation Notes
Implement as the first guard clause in the Edge Function handler before any DB access. Pattern: `if (!body.scroll_to_bottom) { return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: 'SCROLL_INCOMPLETE', message: '...', field: 'scroll_to_bottom' }), { status: 422 }) }`. On the Flutter side the BLoC should already gate the submit button behind a scroll listener — this server check is the legal backstop, not the UX gate. Use Zod or manual type narrowing in the Edge Function to coerce missing field to false.
Keep the validation logic in a pure function `assertScrollComplete(body)` so it is trivially unit-testable without spinning up a server.
Testing Requirements
Unit tests (Dart flutter_test + Edge Function Deno test runner): (1) payload with scroll_to_bottom=false returns 422 with SCROLL_INCOMPLETE code; (2) payload missing scroll_to_bottom returns 422; (3) payload with scroll_to_bottom=true passes validation and delegates to next handler. Integration test against local Supabase: confirm end-to-end 422 is propagated correctly and BLoC emits AcknowledgementError state on the Flutter side. No e2e UI test required for this isolated guard.
Org-scoped encryption key management is complex. If keys are not correctly isolated per organization, a breach in one org's key could expose another org's declarations. Additionally, key rotation is not specified but may be needed for compliance, and the current implementation may not support it.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Use Supabase Vault or a dedicated secrets management approach for org-scoped key storage. Define the key derivation strategy (per-org master key) in a security design document reviewed before implementation begins. Include key isolation tests in the test suite.
Contingency: If a full per-org key management system cannot be safely implemented within the sprint, fall back to a single platform-level encryption key with strict RLS isolation as a temporary measure, flagging the key rotation gap as a security debt item with a defined resolution milestone.
Push notification delivery to drivers depends on FCM token availability and device connectivity. If a driver has not granted notification permissions or has an expired FCM token, the declaration delivery notification will silently fail, leaving the coordinator unaware and the declaration unacknowledged.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Implement delivery status tracking in declaration-notification-service. Fall back to in-app notification and SMS (if configured) when push delivery fails. Expose delivery failure status in the declaration status badge so coordinators can identify and manually follow up.
Contingency: If push delivery proves unreliable, implement a polling-based in-app notification fallback where drivers see pending declarations on next app open, ensuring the workflow can complete even without push notifications.
The acknowledgement service is meant to validate that the driver has fully scrolled through the declaration before confirming. Implementing reliable scroll completion detection in Flutter across different screen sizes and font sizes is technically non-trivial and could be bypassed.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Implement scroll position tracking using ScrollController with a threshold (e.g., 95% of content height reached) and record the validated state server-side before allowing acknowledgement submission. Document the approach in the legal sign-off checkpoint noted in the feature documentation.
Contingency: If reliable scroll detection cannot be implemented within the sprint, add a mandatory reading delay timer (e.g., estimated reading time based on word count) as an alternative validation mechanism, pending legal review of the approach.
The driver assignment service must coordinate with the threshold-based expense approval workflow for fees above configured thresholds. If the expense approval workflow interface changes or is not yet stable, the integration point could break or produce incorrect routing behavior.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Define a clear interface contract between driver-assignment-service and the expense approval workflow before implementation. Use dependency injection so the expense workflow client can be mocked in tests. Monitor the expense approval feature for interface changes.
Contingency: If the expense approval workflow interface is not stable, implement a direct database insert to the expense records table as a temporary bypass, with a flag indicating manual review is needed, until the stable interface is available.
