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.
Add StorageService backed by SurrealDB using the embedded RocksDB provider that persists to ./data (never in memory). Support an optional remote server via SurrealDb:RemoteUrl for frontend sync. Expose readiness and storage probe endpoints under /api/system and add a helper script to start a local SurrealDB server.
Set the backend version to 0.0.1.
