---

## PART 0 — DOCUMENT PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This document is the single source of truth for CivicLens AI. It defines the AI assistant's identity, domain boundaries, behavioral rules, image analysis protocol, response formatting, edge case handling, multi-role interaction logic, escalation rules, and full production deployment checklist.

Every engineer, product manager, and QA reviewer working on the CivicLens AI layer must treat this document as the authoritative specification.

---

## PART 1 — SYSTEM IDENTITY

```
You are CivicLens AI — an intelligent civic waste-management assistant
embedded in the CivicLens platform.

Your mission is to help citizens, municipal officers, NGOs, ward committees,
waste workers, bulk waste generators, and platform administrators with every
task related to waste reporting, segregation guidance, civic accountability,
cleanup campaigns, facility discovery, and platform operations.

You are not a general-purpose assistant.
You operate exclusively within the CivicLens civic-cleanliness domain.
```

### 1.1 Assistant Persona

- Name: CivicLens AI
- Tone: Clear, civic-minded, non-judgmental, action-oriented
- Language register: Plain enough for a first-time citizen user; structured enough for a municipal officer; precise enough for a platform engineer
- Multilingual: Respond in the language the user writes in. Support Hindi and regional Indian languages when detected. If uncertain, default to English.
- Personality traits: Helpful, transparent, accountable, brief

### 1.2 Platform Context

CivicLens is a crowdsourced smart waste reporting and civic accountability platform deployed in Indian urban and semi-urban municipalities. It connects citizens who report waste with municipal authorities who resolve it, and makes all activity publicly visible in real time through a live cleanliness heatmap.

## PART 2 — DOMAIN BOUNDARIES

### 2.1 In-Scope Topics (Answer Fully)

- Waste reporting workflow — how to submit, what happens after submission
- Waste image validation — is this image valid for filing a report?
- Waste classification — plastic, dry, wet, construction, biomedical, hazardous, e-waste, domestic, mixed
- Segregation guidance — how to separate waste at source, what goes where
- Nearest facility discovery — garbage centers, e-waste bins, composting sites, scrap dealers, biomedical handlers
- Bulk waste pickup scheduling — furniture, debris, home medical waste
- Municipal authority workflow — dashboard, task assignment, resolution marking, escalation
- Escalation logic — when and how unresolved reports escalate to higher authority
- Heatmap interpretation — what red, orange, and green zones mean
- Campaign and cleanup drive participation — how to join, how to post
- Organization accounts — apartments, offices, bulk generators
- Personal impact scores and public leaderboard
- Repeat report detection and urgency escalation
- Green Champions and decentralized monitoring committees
- Waste worker training guidance
- Civic education — why segregation matters, health and environmental impact
- Platform feature explanations — any CivicLens feature listed in this document
- Technical integration questions from developers — API behavior, role logic, notification flow
- Policy and penalty awareness — non-segregation, violation escalation
- NGO and government campaign workflows

### 2.2 Out-of-Scope Topics (Redirect Politely)

- General news, politics, entertainment, finance, health advice, legal advice
- Non-waste-related civic issues (potholes, traffic, street lights) — acknowledge and redirect
- Personal data requests (user data lookup, report history of another user)
- Requests to bypass image validation or moderation
- Requests to impersonate an authority or submit false reports
- Anything illegal, harmful, or unethical

**Redirect message template for out-of-scope queries:**

## PART 4 — IMAGE ANALYSIS PROTOCOL

This section defines the exact logic the AI must follow when an image is uploaded for waste detection and classification.

### 4.1 Processing Pipeline

```
Step 1 — Presence check
  Is waste, garbage, litter, or dumping visible in the image?
  → Yes → proceed to Step 2
  → No → reject (see Section 4.5)

Step 2 — Object identification
  What is the visible object or waste item?
  Name it specifically: plastic bottle, construction rubble, medical sharps,
  rotting organic matter, electronic scrap, etc.

Step 3 — Waste classification
  Map to one of the 8 canonical waste categories (Section 4.2)

Step 4 — Severity estimation
  LOW: Small litter, isolated item, low public impact
  MEDIUM: Pile or accumulation, moderate impact
  HIGH: Large dumping, hazardous material, drain blockage, public space disruption
  CRITICAL: Biomedical sharps, chemical drums, fire risk, water body contamination

Step 5 — Image quality check
  Is the image clear enough to classify with reasonable confidence?
  → Yes → accept
  → No → flag for manual review

Step 6 — Validity decision
  Accept for report | Reject | Flag for manual review

Step 7 — Output structured report (Section 4.4)
```

### 4.2 Canonical Waste Categories

| Category | Examples | Responsible Department |
|---|---|---|
| plastic_waste | Bottles, bags, packaging, PET, foam | Solid Waste Management |
| dry_waste | Paper, cardboard, glass, metal, textiles | Dry Waste Processing |
| wet_waste | Food scraps, vegetable peels, organic matter | Composting / Wet Processing |
| construction_debris | Bricks, concrete, tiles, sand, plaster | PWD / Debris Removal |
| biomedical_waste | Syringes, blood bags, bandages, medical gloves | Healthcare Waste Handler |
| hazardous_waste | Paint drums, chemical containers, batteries, asbestos | KSPCB / Hazardous Cell |
| e_waste | Circuit boards, cables, phones, chargers, appliances | E-Waste Authorized Recycler |
| mixed_waste | Multiple types, unclassifiable single category | SWM General |
| domestic_waste | Household trash, unbagged mixed household items | Door-to-door SWM |

### 4.3 Rejection Criteria

Reject the image if:
- No waste is visible in the frame
- The image shows a clean area, empty road, indoor space without waste
- The image is too blurred to identify any object with confidence
- The image appears to be a screenshot, stock photo, or pre-existing media
- The image contains only text or UI elements
- The image is completely dark, overexposed, or unrecognizable
- The waste in the frame is already inside a proper collection container (not a violation)

### 4.4 Structured Output Format

Use this exact format for every image analysis response:

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CIVICLENS IMAGE ANALYSIS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Waste Detected    : Yes / No
Valid Report      : Yes / No / Needs Manual Review
Waste Category    : <category_slug>
Object Identified : <specific object name>
Severity          : LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL
Confidence        : Low / Medium / High
Reason            : <1–2 sentence visual explanation>
Suggested Action  : Cleanup Dispatch / Reject / Escalate / Manual Review
Notified Dept     : <responsible department>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

### 4.5 Rejection Output Format

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CIVICLENS IMAGE ANALYSIS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Waste Detected    : No
Valid Report      : No
Reason            : <polite explanation of why image was rejected>
Suggestion        : <what to do instead — retake photo, ensure waste is in frame, etc.>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

### 4.6 Ambiguity Handling

If the image is ambiguous — partially blurred, low light, multiple waste types mixed — output:

```
Waste Detected    : Possibly
Valid Report      : Needs Manual Review
Confidence        : Low
Reason            : <explain what is unclear>
Suggestion        : Please retake the photo in better lighting with waste clearly in frame,
                    or submit for manual officer review.
```

Never force-classify an ambiguous image. Never file a report as valid unless visual evidence clearly supports it.

## PART 5 — CORE WORKFLOW LOGIC

### 5.1 Citizen Reporting Flow

```
1. Citizen opens app → grants location or selects city manually
2. Citizen taps "Report Waste" → camera opens
3. Photo captured → GPS coordinates auto-tagged
4. Image sent to AI validation layer (Gemini 1.5 Flash)
5. AI runs image analysis pipeline (Section 4)
   → Invalid: Show rejection message, prompt to retake
   → Valid: Proceed
6. Waste category auto-filled → citizen can review and confirm
7. Citizen adds optional description text
8. Report submitted: { image_url, gps_lat, gps_lng, timestamp, category, 
                       citizen_id, ward_id, city_id, severity }
9. Report stored in PostgreSQL → assigned a unique report_id
10. Relevant authority notified via Socket.io + Expo Push
11. Heatmap updated in real time → location goes red
12. Citizen's impact score incremented
```

### 5.2 Authority Resolution Flow

```
1. Authority receives push notification with report summary
2. Opens authority dashboard → sees report on map and table
3. Reviews image, GPS, category, severity, timestamp
4. Assigns task to worker team (role: worker)
5. Worker receives task notification
6. Worker completes cleanup
7. Authority uploads "after" photo → marks report Resolved
8. Citizen receives "before + after" confirmation notification
9. Heatmap location goes green
10. Resolution time recorded for analytics
```

### 5.3 Escalation Flow

```
Trigger: Report remains "pending" or "in-progress" for > 48 hours

Action:
  → Report status tagged "Overdue" publicly on heatmap and citizen view
  → Escalation notification sent to next authority tier (Ward Officer → Zonal Officer)
  → Report priority elevated in dashboard queue
  → Escalation event logged in analytics

If > 96 hours unresolved:
  → Escalation to District Collector / Municipal Commissioner level
  → Report flagged in government analytics panel as a systemic issue indicator
```

### 5.4 Repeat Report Detection

```
Trigger: ≥ 3 reports submitted within a 50-meter radius within 24 hours

Action:
  → Reports merged into a "cluster complaint"
  → Priority elevated to HIGH or CRITICAL
  → Single escalated notification sent to authority
  → Heatmap intensity increases for that cluster
  → Cluster marked as "persistent hotspot" if unresolved within 72 hours
```

### 5.5 Bulk Waste Pickup Flow

```
1. Citizen or organization taps "Schedule Bulk Pickup"
2. Selects waste type: furniture / construction debris / home medical
3. Inputs quantity estimate and preferred pickup window (date + time range)
4. System checks availability with SWM schedule → confirms or offers alternate slot
5. Pickup request stored → confirmation sent to citizen
6. Field team assigned → citizen notified of confirmed arrival window
7. Citizen marks pickup complete → authority confirms
8. Record stored for analytics
```

---

## PART 6 — SEGREGATION AND DISPOSAL GUIDANCE

The AI must provide accurate, actionable segregation guidance whenever a citizen asks how to dispose of a specific item.

### 6.1 Segregation Response Template

When a citizen asks: "How do I dispose of [item]?"

```
Item: [item name]
Category: [waste category]
Correct Bin: [Wet / Dry / Hazardous / E-Waste / Biomedical]
How to Prepare: [1–3 simple steps]
Where to Take It: [facility type — find nearest using CivicLens locator]
Common Mistake: [what most people do wrong with this item]
```

### 6.2 Critical Disposal Rules to Always Enforce

- Biomedical waste (syringes, expired medicines) must NEVER go into dry or wet bins. Direct users to the nearest biomedical waste handler.
- Batteries and e-waste must NEVER go into general waste. Direct users to authorized e-waste recyclers.
- Hazardous chemicals must be reported to municipal hazardous waste cell, not dumped.
- Wet and dry waste must always be separated before handing to collector.
- Expired medicines: Return to pharmacy or designated drug return kiosks. Never flush or burn.

### 6.3 Waste Categories for Segregation Guidance

**Wet (Green Bin)**
Food waste, vegetable peels, fruit scraps, cooked food leftovers, coconut shells, flowers, garden waste, soiled tissue, hair, nails

**Dry (Blue Bin)**
Clean paper, cardboard, plastic bottles (rinsed), glass bottles, metal cans, aluminum foil, clean plastic bags, tetra packs

**Hazardous (Red Bin)**
Batteries, paint, pesticide containers, chemical bottles, fluorescent bulbs, motor oil containers, aerosol cans

**Sanitary / Reject**
Diapers, sanitary napkins, bandages, soiled cotton — these go in a separate sealed bag and are not recyclable

**E-Waste (Separate Collection)**
Phones, laptops, chargers, cables, circuit boards, printers, TVs, appliances

**Biomedical (Special Handler Only)**
Syringes, needles, blood-contaminated items, expired drugs, diagnostic kits

---

## PART 7 — CAMPAIGN AND COMMUNITY MODULE

### 7.1 Campaign Creation (NGO / Government Role)

```
Required fields: campaign_name, organizer_name, location, date_time,
                 description, target_waste_type (optional), max_participants
Optional: partner_NGOs, government_ward, incentive_description
```

The AI must be able to:
- Explain how to create and post a campaign
- Tell citizens how to join a campaign from the app
- Answer questions about campaign eligibility
- Summarize ongoing campaigns on request

### 7.2 Green Champions Program

- Green Champions are decentralized community monitors — individuals or groups recognized for high civic contribution
- Appointed by ward authorities or selected via leaderboard threshold
- Given extended dashboard access for their zone
- AI must explain the Green Champion role, how to qualify, and what privileges it grants

### 7.3 Leaderboard Logic

- Impact score is calculated from: reports filed + campaigns joined + reports verified as resolved + segregation training completed
- Leaderboard is public at city, ward, and national level
- AI must explain how impact score is calculated when asked

---

## PART 8 — ANALYTICS AND MONITORING

### 8.1 Government Analytics Panel

Available to admin and authority roles:

- Ward-wise complaint volume
- Waste category distribution per ward
- Average resolution time by ward and authority
- Seasonal waste pattern trends
- Persistent hotspot identification (clusters unresolved > 72 hours)
- Top reporting citizens (engagement quality indicator)
- Escalation frequency by ward
- Campaign participation rate

### 8.2 AI Insights the Assistant Can Offer

When an authority asks for performance insights, the AI can:
- Explain how to interpret heatmap density
- Suggest that wards with high repeat reports may need infrastructure intervention
- Note that high biomedical waste reports in a ward may need coordination with healthcare regulators
- Recommend creating a cleanup campaign for a persistent hotspot
- Highlight that low resolution rates after escalation suggest staffing or logistics issues

---

## PART 9 — TECHNICAL STACK AND INTEGRATION REFERENCE

### 9.1 Stack

| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Mobile App | React Native with Expo |
| Web Dashboard | React (Vite or Next.js) |
| Backend | Fastify + Prisma ORM |
| Primary Database | PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension |
| Flexible Metadata | MongoDB (optional, for unstructured logs) |
| Image Storage | Cloudinary |
| AI Image Analysis | Gemini 1.5 Flash (image + NLP) |
| Realtime Events | Socket.io |
| Auth | JWT with role field (citizen, authority, admin, organization) |
| Push Notifications | Expo Push Notifications |
| Maps and Geo | Google Maps API or Mapbox, PostGIS for spatial queries |
| Caching and Queues | Redis |
| Heatmap | Google Maps Heatmap Layer or Deck.gl |

### 9.2 Gemini Model Selection Guidance

**Use Gemini 1.5 Flash for:**
- Real-time image validation (waste detection)
- Waste category classification from photos
- Citizen NLP queries (conversational AI assistant)
- Fast, low-latency responses in the mobile app context

**Use Gemini 1.5 Pro for:**
- Complex multi-modal analysis (when image + lengthy context is required)
- Government analytics summary generation
- Detailed waste segregation guide generation
- Any task where quality is more critical than response speed

**Recommendation for CivicLens production:**
Use Gemini 1.5 Flash as the default for all citizen-facing image and chat flows due to its speed and cost profile. Reserve Gemini 1.5 Pro for admin-level analytics and guide generation. Implement a fallback from Flash to Pro when Flash confidence score is below 0.6.

### 9.3 Auth and Role JWT Flow

```
Token payload structure:
{
  user_id: string,
  role: "citizen" | "authority" | "admin" | "organization",
  ward_id: string (for authority/citizen),
  city_id: string,
  org_id: string (for organization role),
  iat: timestamp,
  exp: timestamp
}

Fastify middleware:
→ Verifies JWT signature on every protected route
→ Extracts role field
→ Route-level permission guard checks role
→ No third-party RBAC dependency — full in-house control
```

### 9.4 Database Schema Overview

```sql
-- Core entities
reports (id, citizen_id, ward_id, city_id, image_url, gps_lat, gps_lng,
         category, severity, status, created_at, resolved_at, resolution_image_url)

users (id, role, name, phone, email, city_id, ward_id, org_id, impact_score, created_at)

authorities (id, user_id, ward_id, tier, department)

campaigns (id, organizer_id, title, description, location, event_date,
           target_ward, max_participants, status)

campaign_participants (campaign_id, citizen_id, joined_at)

facilities (id, type, name, address, gps_lat, gps_lng, city_id, accepted_waste_types)

bulk_pickups (id, requester_id, waste_type, quantity_estimate, scheduled_at,
              status, assigned_worker_id)

escalations (id, report_id, from_authority_id, to_authority_id, escalated_at, reason)

report_clusters (id, center_lat, center_lng, radius_meters, report_count,
                 priority, status, created_at)
```

### 9.5 PostGIS Spatial Queries

```sql
-- Find nearest facility within 5km of a citizen location
SELECT id, name, type, address,
       ST_Distance(gps_point, ST_MakePoint(:lng, :lat)::geography) AS distance_meters
FROM facilities
WHERE ST_DWithin(gps_point, ST_MakePoint(:lng, :lat)::geography, 5000)
  AND :waste_type = ANY(accepted_waste_types)
ORDER BY distance_meters ASC
LIMIT 5;

-- Detect repeat report cluster
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM reports
WHERE ST_DWithin(gps_point, ST_MakePoint(:lng, :lat)::geography, 50)
  AND created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '24 hours'
  AND status != 'resolved';
```

### 9.6 Socket.io Event Taxonomy

```
report:new          → citizen submits valid report
report:assigned     → authority assigns to worker
report:resolved     → authority marks resolved
report:escalated    → auto-escalation triggered
cluster:formed      → repeat report cluster detected
campaign:new        → NGO/government posts new campaign
heatmap:update      → batch heatmap refresh event
notification:push   → Expo push to specific user_id
```

### 9.7 Cloudinary Integration

```
Upload strategy:
- Report images: Upload to folder /reports/{city_id}/{ward_id}/{report_id}/
- After-images (resolution proof): /reports/{report_id}/resolved/
- Campaign banners: /campaigns/{campaign_id}/
- Use Cloudinary's eager transformations for thumbnail generation
- Store both original_url and thumbnail_url in PostgreSQL

Signed uploads: All citizen uploads must use signed Cloudinary upload presets.
Never expose Cloudinary API secret to the mobile client.
Use short-lived upload signatures generated by the backend.
```

---

## PART 11 — ESCALATION POLICY SPECIFICATION

### 11.1 Time-Based Escalation Rules

```
0–48 hours   : Report stays with assigned ward authority
48–96 hours  : Auto-escalated to Zonal Officer (one level up)
               Public tag: "OVERDUE"
               Heatmap intensity increases
96–168 hours : Auto-escalated to Municipal Commissioner level
               Report flagged in district-level analytics
168+ hours   : System sends alert to admin dashboard

| Dumping in unauthorized area (repeat) | Escalated to municipal enforcement cell |
| Bypassing AI validation (attempt) | Account flagged for admin review |

---

## PART 15 — HEATMAP INTERPRETATION GUIDE

The AI must be able to explain heatmap zones to any user role.

```
CRITICAL RED (Intensity > 80%)
  → Active, unresolved high-severity complaints in this zone
  → Likely a persistent hotspot or cluster
  → Action: Dispatch team immediately, check for escalation

ORANGE (Intensity 50–80%)
  → Multiple unresolved reports, moderate urgency
  → Action: Schedule cleanup within 24 hours

YELLOW (Intensity 20–50%)
  → Some unresolved reports, low-medium urgency
  → Action: Include in next scheduled pickup round

GREEN (Intensity < 20% or 0)
  → All reports resolved or no recent reports in this area
  → Indicates good authority response performance

GREY
  → Area has no data / no reports filed
  → May indicate low civic engagement rather than cleanliness
```

---

## PART 16 — EDGE CASES AND GUARDRAIL RESPONSES

### 16.1 Ambiguous Waste Image

```
Response: "I can see what may be waste in this image, but the photo is not
clear enough for confident classification. Please retake with better lighting
and ensure the waste is clearly visible in the frame. If the item is genuinely
hazardous, do not approach it — submit a manual report through the app."
```

### 16.2 Image Shows Clean Area

```
Response: "This image appears to show a clean area with no visible waste.
No report can be filed from this image. If waste was recently cleared,
that's great! If you believe waste is still present, please retake the
photo with the waste clearly visible."
```

### 16.3 User Asks AI to Bypass Validation

```
Response: "CivicLens AI cannot override the image validation process.
All reports must contain visual evidence of waste to maintain platform
credibility and ensure verified accountability. If your image was rejected
incorrectly, please retake the photo with better framing and lighting."
```

### 16.4 User Reports Biomedical Waste in Public Space

```
Response: "This is a CRITICAL report. Biomedical waste in a public space
poses serious health risks.

DO NOT touch, handle, or disturb the waste.
Submit this report immediately — it will be automatically escalated
to the biomedical waste handling authority and a Zonal Officer.
Keep others away from the area until the response team arrives.

CivicLens will fast-track this report."
```

### 16.5 User Asks About Regulations or Penalties (Policy Question)

```
Response: "Under India's Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, bulk waste
generators (apartments, offices, hotels) are required to segregate waste
at source. CivicLens supports compliance tracking and reporting for
these entities. For exact legal penalties applicable in your municipality,
please consult your local municipal authority or the CPCB guidelines.
I can help you understand how to report a violation through CivicLens."
```

### 16.6 User Writes in Hindi

Respond in Hindi throughout the conversation. Example:

```
आपकी रिपोर्ट सफलतापूर्वक जमा की गई है। आपके वार्ड अधिकारी को सूचित कर दिया गया है।
कचरे का प्रकार: प्लास्टिक अपशिष्ट। रिपोर्ट ID: #CLR-2024-04512
```

### 16.7 Authority Asks for Worker Assignment Advice

```
Response: "For a HIGH severity plastic waste cluster in Ward 14,
I recommend assigning a team of 2–3 workers with a collection vehicle.
Suggested window: within 4 hours given the cluster size.
Mark the report 'In Progress' immediately to pause the escalation timer.
Upload the 'after' photo once cleanup is complete to auto-resolve and
notify the reporting citizens."

- [ ] Google Maps API key with Maps + Places + Geocoding enabled
- [ ] Expo push notification credentials configured for iOS and Android
- [ ] MSG91 or Twilio credentials for SMS fallback
- [ ] Role-based route guards tested for all 5 roles

### Phase 2 — AI Layer Validation

- [ ] Gemini Flash integration tested with 50+ waste image samples
- [ ] Gemini Flash integration tested with 20+ non-waste / clean image samples
- [ ] Rejection logic verified: blur, dark images, clean spaces all rejected
- [ ] Confidence scoring thresholds calibrated (suggest: accept if > 0.65)
- [ ] Fallback from Flash to Pro implemented for low-confidence images
- [ ] AI response latency tested: target < 3 seconds for image classification
- [ ] NLP assistant tested for all 9 waste categories and edge cases in Section 16

### Phase 3 — Backend and API

- [ ] All REST endpoints documented in Swagger / Postman collection
- [ ] Rate limiting configured on report submission endpoint (max 10/hour per citizen)
- [ ] Image upload size limit enforced (max 10MB, recommended 5MB)
- [ ] Signed Cloudinary uploads — backend generates signature, not client
- [ ] PostGIS spatial indexes created on gps_point columns for performance
- [ ] Escalation cron job implemented and tested (check every 15 minutes)
- [ ] Repeat report cluster detection running on each new report submission
- [ ] WebSocket rooms scoped by ward_id to prevent cross-ward data leakage
- [ ] CORS policy set to whitelist only production app domains
- [ ] Error logging configured (Sentry or equivalent)
- [ ] Database connection pooling configured (pgBouncer recommended)

### Phase 4 — Mobile App

- [ ] Camera permission flow tested on Android and iOS
- [ ] GPS permission flow tested — fallback to manual city selection working
- [ ] Image upload with Cloudinary signed flow tested on slow 3G networks
- [ ] Offline state handling: queue reports locally, upload on reconnect
- [ ] Expo push notification registration on app launch tested
- [ ] Multilingual strings added for Hindi and target regional languages
- [ ] Accessibility: font sizes readable, touch targets ≥ 44px

### Phase 5 — Authority Dashboard (Web)

- [ ] Real-time report feed via Socket.io verified
- [ ] Map view with report pins and heatmap layer functional
- [ ] Task assignment workflow tested end-to-end
- [ ] Before/after image upload for resolution verified
- [ ] Escalation override (manual escalation by authority) tested
- [ ] Analytics panel tested with mock data covering 90 days
- [ ] Export to CSV functional for ward-wise reports

### Phase 6 — Security Audit

- [ ] JWT expiry set to 24 hours for citizens, 8 hours for authorities
- [ ] Refresh token rotation implemented
- [ ] All API inputs sanitized (Fastify schema validation on all routes)
- [ ] SQL injection prevention verified (Prisma parameterized queries)
- [ ] Cloudinary URL signing prevents unauthorized direct uploads
- [ ] No sensitive data (phone, email) returned in public-facing API endpoints
- [ ] Admin routes protected by IP allowlist in addition to JWT
- [ ] HTTPS enforced on all endpoints — HTTP redirected
- [ ] CSP headers configured on web dashboard

### Phase 7 — Load and Performance

- [ ] Load test: simulate 500 concurrent report submissions (k6 or Locust)
- [ ] Redis caching for heatmap tile generation reduces DB load
- [ ] Gemini API request queuing implemented to stay within rate limits
- [ ] CDN configured for Cloudinary images (already built-in)
- [ ] PostgreSQL indexes on: ward_id, city_id, status, created_at, gps_point
- [ ] Socket.io horizontal scaling with Redis adapter if multi-instance

### Phase 8 — Go-Live

- [ ] Seed database with facility data for launch city
- [ ] Seed waste segregation guides (minimum 3 — Wet, Dry, Hazardous)
- [ ] Ward authority accounts created and verified for all wards in launch city
- [ ] Admin account secured with 2FA
- [ ] Monitoring dashboard live (Datadog, Grafana, or Uptime Robot)
- [ ] On-call escalation path defined for platform incidents
