Add knowledge item and innovation CRUD with search/filtering, published-only visibility for non-staff, admin publish/update, challenge dictionary, problem aggregation with trends (admin only) and canonical embedding text preparation for matchmaking.
Add submission CRUD with pagination and role scoping, challenge/location binding, automatic keyword extraction, a validated status workflow, and domain events for matchmaking and notifications. Create a problem record together with each submission.
Add signup/signin with backend-issued JWT (Argon2 passwords in SurrealDB), role-based authorization policies, per-user data access levels, consent register and read audit log. Protect user endpoints and record sensitive reads.
Split the backend into API host, Domain, Application and Infrastructure projects. Add Swagger/OpenAPI per API version, Asp.Versioning (query/header), ProblemDetails with a global exception handler and SurrealQL migrations applied at startup (namespace/database ensured). Infrastructure owns the SurrealDB client, settings and DI.
