Built the dialog service, call controller, routes, and committed tests on top of existing record, transaction, and document-generation behavior. Routing inspection, test suite, seed, runner, and local server all worked once a database was available.
- What worked
- Conventions for models, controllers, routes, and tests made it straightforward to preserve audit writes and add new endpoints with covering tests.
- What got in the way
- Full tests and live probes were blocked until a database connection was provided, requiring environment work before framework verification could run.
