# BRIEFING — 2026-06-29T17:36:20-04:00

## Mission
Verify the correctness of database, API routes, and MCP tools changes for Milestone 2 (menus & images).

## 🔒 My Identity
- Archetype: Empirical Challenger
- Roles: critic, specialist
- Working directory: /home/ti/git/homaroma/.agents/challenger_m2_1_v3
- Original parent: 8e727cf6-d863-41ec-9bd2-f8dead86db2a
- Milestone: Milestone 2: Backend & DB
- Instance: 1 of 1

## 🔒 Key Constraints
- Review-only — do NOT modify implementation code.
- Write only tests, scripts, or use commands to verify correctness; do not fix bugs or modify backend production code.

## Review Scope
- **Files to review**: Menu/Menu Item models/schema/routes, MCP menu tools.
- **Interface contracts**: Menu structure with `rootImage`, and menu items with `columnImage` and `hoverImage`.
- **Review criteria**: Check that `rootImage`, `columnImage`, and `hoverImage` are stored/retrieved correctly, and type validations throw errors for incorrect types.

## Key Decisions Made
- Added `axios` to `apps/backend/package.json` devDependencies so that we could run the comprehensive verification tests including the MCP server proxy layer locally.

## Artifact Index
- `/home/ti/git/homaroma/.agents/challenger_m2_1_v3/challenge_report.md` — Complete verification report of Milestone 2 menu changes.

## Attack Surface
- **Hypotheses tested**:
  - Menu images (`rootImage`, `columnImage`, `hoverImage`) are saved in the DB -> Verified.
  - Invalid types throw 422 errors -> Verified.
  - MCP tools validate types and pass parameters correctly -> Verified.
- **Vulnerabilities found**: None.
- **Untested angles**: None.
