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.
