Documentation stack contradictions
MethodologyApr 10, 2026
Six major technology stack contradictions found across 14 pre-alpha documents (Firestore vs AlloyDB vs PostgreSQL, FastAPI vs Next.js, RabbitMQ vs Pub/Sub, etc.). Root cause: documents written at different points during rapid ideation without centralized reconciliation.
Remedy
All 14 documents audited and aligned to canonical stack: Next.js 16 + Supabase (PostgreSQL) + Vercel. Changes logged in CHANGELOG.md.

PII pipeline not yet implemented
SecurityApr 10, 2026
The Gate currently accepts essay submissions without PII de-identification. Submitted text is stored as-is in the database. No isolation between identity data and testimony content.
Remedy
PII detection + stripping pipeline scheduled for Phase 2 (Gate backend). Until then, no sensitive data should be submitted through the Gate.

Gate vetting is not operational
Gate SystemApr 10, 2026
The Gate UI exists but has no backend AI processing. Submissions are stored but not evaluated. The three-tier vetting pipeline (AI Sieve → AI Qualitative → Human Review) is not yet implemented.
Remedy
Full Gate backend scheduled for Phase 2. Gate page currently displays pre-alpha status warning.
