Code Review
This pull request significantly enhances the project's documentation by updating the README.md, CLAUDE.md, and introducing a comprehensive docs/architecture.md file. The README.md now provides a detailed overview, tech stack, API surface, local run instructions, and command references, greatly improving project onboarding. The CLAUDE.md has been refined for conciseness and accuracy, reflecting the current project structure and commands. The new docs/architecture.md offers in-depth insights into the system context, module structure, request lifecycle, data model, concurrency, and security aspects. Additionally, the package.json has been updated with a more descriptive license and relevant keywords. These changes collectively make the project much more understandable and maintainable.
Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.

Code Review
This pull request significantly improves the project's documentation by adding a comprehensive README.md and a detailed architecture.md file, cleaning up CLAUDE.md, and updating package.json. While the new documentation is well-structured and provides valuable context, it critically reveals a vulnerability in the authentication design: the system relies on an unverified client-provided header for user identification, enabling trivial account impersonation. Additionally, there is a minor suggestion to correct a typo in an HTTP status code within the new architecture document.

| 1. **Express** receives the HTTP request | ||
| 2. **CorrelationIdMiddleware** extracts or generates `X-Request-Id`, attaches it to the Pino logging context | ||
| 3. **UserIdGuard** (per-controller) validates the `X-User-Id` header as a UUID and attaches it to `req.userId` |

The described authentication mechanism relies solely on a client-provided X-User-Id header without any cryptographic verification (e.g., JWT signature) or secondary authentication factor. This allows any user to impersonate any other user by simply providing their UUID in the header.
Remediation: Implement a secure authentication method such as JWT or session-based authentication. If this header is intended to be set by a trusted upstream proxy, the documentation should explicitly state this and describe the mechanism used to prevent header spoofing from external clients.
| ## Security | ||
|
|
||
| - **Ownership scoping** — all queries filter by the authenticated user's ID; accessing another user's resource returns `404` (not `403`) to prevent identifier enumeration | ||
| - **UserIdGuard** — validates `X-User-Id` as a UUID on every protected endpoint; rejects with `401` if missing or invalid |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This section confirms that UserIdGuard only validates the X-User-Id header as a UUID. As noted previously, this is insufficient for secure authentication and allows for trivial user impersonation.
