-# Implementation Plan: Decouple `reloadAtCountdownZero` from `start()`/`stop()`
-
-## Status
-Hardening follow-up to Job 905. The store currently clears the
-`reloadOnZero` handler inside `stop()` (line 197), and `start()` calls
-`stop()` first (line 110). Because `ChallengesPage` registers its handler
-from the constructor while `HomeComponent` calls `start()`/`stop()`
-independently, a `stop()` triggered by the shell's lifecycle can null out
-the page's handler before the page is destroyed. The fix is to scope
-`reloadOnZero` ownership to the **subscriber** (the challenges page)
-and make `start()`/`stop()` only manage the SSE source + tick, never the
-reload handler.
-
-## 1. Architectural Reconventions (recap)
-- `EventStatusStore` is a `providedIn: 'root'` singleton
-  (`frontend/src/app/core/services/event-status.store.ts`).
-- `start(...)` is called from `HomeComponent.ngOnInit`
-  (`features/home/home.component.ts:132`); `stop()` is invoked from both
-  `ngOnDestroy()` and `destroyRef.onDestroy(...)` in that same component
-  (`features/home/home.component.ts:125, 142`).
-- `ChallengesPage` currently registers its reload handler in its
-  constructor (`features/challenges/challenges.page.ts:128-133`).
-- Tests live in `tests/frontend/*`, runnable via `npm test`. No new
-  dependencies; no backend changes.
-
-## 2. Impacted Files
-- **To Modify:**
-  - `frontend/src/app/core/services/event-status.store.ts` —
-    separate handler ownership from SSE/timer ownership.
-  - `frontend/src/app/features/challenges/challenges.page.ts` —
-    own the subscription, unregister in `ngOnDestroy` (or via
-    `DestroyRef`).
-- **To Create:** None.
-
-## 3. Proposed Changes
-
-### 3.1 `EventStatusStore` — split "transport lifecycle" from "reload subscription"
-
-1. Add a per-subscription API that returns an unregister function:
-   ```ts
-   subscribeReloadAtCountdownZero(handler: () => void): () => void {
-     this.reloadOnZero = handler;
-     this.reloadOnZeroFired = false;
-     this.ensureWatcher();
-     return () => {
-       if (this.reloadOnZero === handler) {
-         this.reloadOnZero = null;
-         this.reloadOnZeroFired = false;
-       }
-     };
-   }
-   ```
-   Keep the existing `reloadAtCountdownZero(handler)` as a thin wrapper
-   that calls `subscribeReloadAtCountdownZero(handler)` and discards
-   the returned disposer (preserves backwards compatibility with the
-   four existing tests that call it directly).
-2. In `start(...)`: remove the `this.stop()` call. `start()` should
-   only (a) close any **previous source** via a new private
-   `closeTransport()`, (b) open the new source, (c) install the message
-   handler, (d) start the tick interval, (e) `ensureWatcher()`. It
-   must NOT touch `reloadOnZero`, `reloadOnZeroFired`, or
-   `lastAppliedJson`.
-3. Introduce `closeTransport()` (private) that nulls
-   `source`/`intervalId`/`zeroWatcher` ONLY — no handler reset. The
-   watcher interval is also bound to the transport lifecycle, but
-   `ensureWatcher()` keeps it idempotent, so closing it is fine.
-4. In `stop()`: keep the current teardown for source + tick + watcher,
-   but **only clear `reloadOnZero`/`reloadOnZeroFired`/`lastAppliedJson`
-   when called via the destroy hook** (i.e., `stop()` retains its
-   existing full-reset semantics for end-of-life). To preserve that
-   for the existing destroyRef hook (`constructor() { destroyRef.onDestroy(() => this.stop()); }`),
-   keep `stop()` as the full reset. The crucial change is step 2:
-   `start()` no longer calls `stop()`, so handler state survives a
-   `start()` cycle.
-
-### 3.2 `ChallengesPage` — own the subscription
-
-1. Replace the constructor's
-   `this.eventStatus.reloadAtCountdownZero(...)` call with:
-   ```ts
-   const unsub = this.eventStatus.subscribeReloadAtCountdownZero(() => {
-     if (typeof window !== 'undefined') window.location.reload();
-   });
-   this.destroyRef.onDestroy(() => unsub());
-   ```
-   This keeps the subscription active across `start()` re-entry on the
-   store, registers the handler as early as possible (constructor), and
-   unregisters when the page is destroyed.
-2. The existing `this.destroyRef.onDestroy(() => this.store.stop())`
-   for `ChallengesStore` is unrelated and stays.
-
-### 3.3 Tests
-
-1. **New spec** (`tests/frontend/event-status.store.watcher.spec.ts`,
-   add one case): `start()` after a `subscribeReloadAtCountdownZero`
-   must NOT clear the registered handler — fire a fake SSE delivery
-   that triggers `applyServerStatus` with a zero-countdown frame, then
-   advance fake timers and assert the handler still fires exactly once.
-2. **Update** the existing
-   `tests/frontend/challenges-page.spec.ts` regression test
-   "repeating the same zero-countdown SSE frame does not disarm the
-   auto-reload latch (Job 905)" — no behaviour change required; it
-   already exercises `applyServerStatus` directly and continues to pass.
-3. **New spec** for `subscribeReloadAtCountdownZero` unregister
-   semantics: subscribe → unregister → apply zero-countdown → advance
-   timers → handler must NOT be called.
-
-### 3.4 Documentation
-
-- Append one sentence to `docs/guides/event-window.md`'s "Auto-reload
-  at the transition boundary" paragraph noting that the subscription
-  is now page-owned and unregistered on destroy, independent of the
-  transport's `start()`/`stop()`.
-
-## 4. Test Strategy
-- Single command: `npm test`. New assertions target
-  `tests/frontend/event-status.store.watcher.spec.ts` and use fake
-  timers (already used in this file). No mocking of `window.location`
-  is required — the handler under test is a plain `jest.fn()`.
-
-## 5. Non-goals
-- No backend changes, no new dependencies, no `setup.sh` change.
-- No changes to other consumers of `EventStatusStore` (HomeComponent's
-  `start()`/`stop()` cycle is preserved by step 3.1.2).

+# Implementation Plan: Register SeedSampleChallenges migration in DatabaseModule
+
+## 1. Architectural Reconnaissance
+- **Codebase style & conventions:** NestJS + TypeORM; migrations are registered manually via an in-source `MIGRATIONS` array (not a filesystem glob) in `backend/src/database/database.module.ts`. Imports follow chronological order matching the array.
+- **Data Layer:** SQLite via `better-sqlite3`. `DatabaseInitService.init()` (called from `main.ts` before `app.listen()`) executes `dataSource.runMigrations({ transaction: 'each' })`, which **uses the `MIGRATIONS` array** registered with `TypeOrmModule.forRootAsync`. Until the array contains the new class, `npm run setup` and the first app boot will not run `SeedSampleChallenges1700000000600`.
+- **Test framework:** Jest; backend tests construct their own in-memory `DataSource` with an explicit `migrations: [...]` list — they bypass `DatabaseModule`, which is why `migrations.spec.ts` (already updated for Job 906) passes despite this gap.
+- **Required tools & dependencies:** none.
+
+## 2. Impacted Files
+- **To Modify:**
+  - `backend/src/database/database.module.ts` — add the import and append the new migration class to the `MIGRATIONS` array, right after `UpgradeChallengeAdminSchema1700000000500`.
+
+## 3. Proposed Changes
+1. **Edit `database.module.ts`:**
+   - Add the import alongside the other chronological migration imports (between `.../1700000000500-UpgradeChallengeAdminSchema` and the next non-migration import `DatabaseInitService`):
+     ```ts
+     import { SeedSampleChallenges1700000000600 } from './migrations/1700000000600-SeedSampleChallenges';
+     ```
+   - Append to the `MIGRATIONS` array, immediately after `UpgradeChallengeAdminSchema1700000000500`:
+     ```ts
+     SeedSampleChallenges1700000000600,
+     ```
+2. **No other code changes.** The migration class already exists, is exported, and is covered by tests in `tests/backend/migrations.spec.ts`. Once registered in the TypeORM `MIGRATIONS` array, `DatabaseInitService.init()` (called via `main.ts` and indirectly by `npm run setup`) will execute it on next boot.
+3. **Verification expectation:** After `npm run setup` (or first boot on a fresh DB), `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM challenge;` returns `> 0` and the eight sample names are present. Re-running setup on a DB that already has rows is a no-op (the migration's early-return guard).
+
+## 4. Test Strategy
+- No new automated tests required. The existing `tests/backend/migrations.spec.ts` already asserts the seed runs and that values are schema-compatible, schema-correct, and `down()` is scoped correctly. The fix is purely a wiring change that registers an already-tested class with the production `DatabaseModule`, which has no dedicated test (and per the Jobs rule, no new test files should be introduced for a 2-line wiring fix).
+- **Manual smoke (tester steps, no UI):** on a fresh DB file, run `npm run setup` then `sqlite3 ./data/db.sqlite 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM challenge;'` and confirm the count is `8`; on a re-run, confirm the count is unchanged (idempotent guard works).
