From a brief to development increments

Separate readers from editors

Visitors read and search published articles; registered members access their account; editors and admins write and publish. The project uses these roles to demonstrate server-side access control. Payments, attachments and comments are unnecessary for this first workflow. Record what is missing from version one: email verification, password recovery and MFA need another increment before a public community launch.

An order with explicit dependencies

Define schema and routes first. Then build public reading, authentication and permissions, article management, search and finally imports. If the event agent writes posts, it needs the field names and constraints first. UI work can use fixtures while the backend stabilises, provided the JSON contract is agreed. Do not assign two agents to rewrite the same controller.

What to check as you practise

• Authorisation precedes publication.
• Every increment has a concrete check.
• Schema changes pass through the coordinator.
