Remaining Legacy-Host Items

| Item | Path | Current Role | Classification | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Legacy Vacancy route mount and wiring | services/svc-tenders/src/server.ts | keeps old Vacancy host reachable on :4020 | needed temporarily for rollback | remove when rollback window closes | | Legacy Vacancy route registration | services/svc-tenders/src/routes/registerVacancyRoutes.ts | fallback-only Vacancy HTTP surface | needed temporarily for rollback | remove with legacy mount | | Legacy Vacancy route support | services/svc-tenders/src/routes/support/vacancyRouteSupport.ts | fallback-only auth/parser adapter for Vacancy routes | needed temporarily for rollback | remove with legacy route slice | | Legacy preferred Vacancy runtime copy | services/svc-tenders/src/vacancy/readRepository.ts | fallback host still serves mixed public truth and owner/applicant reads through this file | needed temporarily for rollback | remove when old route host is retired | | Legacy Vacancy command/runtime copy | services/svc-tenders/src/vacancy/commandHandlers.ts, domain.ts, projections.ts, readModel.ts, validation.ts, contracts.ts | fallback host still executes Vacancy writes and preferred runtime reads | needed temporarily for rollback | remove with legacy route host if no remaining in-process callers depend on them | | Root compatibility residue for Vacancy public/owner/applicant reads | services/svc-tenders/src/repository.ts | older callers and compatibility helpers still reach Vacancy reads here | safe to retire soon | retirement can follow after host deletion if no remaining callers survive | | Vacancy compatibility readers | services/svc-tenders/src/vacancy/compatibilityReadRepository.ts, compatibilityApplicationRepository.ts | legacy read truth and older compatibility call paths | unresolved | these may survive route-host deletion a bit longer if compatibility callers remain | | Vacancy JS residue in src/ | services/svc-tenders/src/vacancy/*.js, route JS copies if present | compiled residue, not canonical TS source | safe to retire soon | not part of the real route-host decision, but removable in a later hygiene pass | | Live API seam | services/api/src/routes/vacancies.ts and sibling Vacancy routes | routes traffic to primary or fallback target | shared on purpose | stays shared after host retirement | | Primary/fallback env seam | services/api/.env, root package.json startup flow | live API points Vacancy traffic to svc-vacancies, but default root startup still does not provision the service | unresolved | this is the current rollback-window blocker | | Vacancy-focused opt-in API helper | package.json dev:api:vacancies-extracted | still useful as an explicit extracted-target helper while default startup remains incomplete | safe to retire soon | remove after startup normalization and host retirement |

What Can Be Retired Next

Retire with the legacy Vacancy host cut:

• Vacancy mount in services/svc-tenders/src/server.ts
• services/svc-tenders/src/routes/registerVacancyRoutes.ts
• services/svc-tenders/src/routes/support/vacancyRouteSupport.ts
• fallback-only preferred Vacancy runtime copy in services/svc-tenders/src/vacancy/*

Possibly retire in the same or immediately following cut:

• package.json dev:api:vacancies-extracted
• stale Vacancy JS residue inside services/svc-tenders/src/

What Must Stay For Now

Must stay shared on purpose:

• API gateway Vacancy route family
• VACANCIES_SERVICE_URL ?? TENDERS_SERVICE_URL
• shared auth ingress behavior
• shared auth/identity resolution behind /auth/me

Must stay explicit even after route-host retirement planning:

• public Vacancy compatibility-backed behavior in GET /vacancies
• public Vacancy compatibility-backed behavior in GET /vacancies/:id

Those are architecture-truth notes, not reasons to keep the old route host forever.

Prerequisites For Deletion

Before deleting the old Vacancy host, verify:

1. svc-vacancies remains the default primary runtime through a stabilization window the team accepts
2. no active operator/dev workflow still depends on hitting Vacancy routes through svc-tenders
3. the rollback window is explicitly closed
4. the team accepts that public Vacancy read compatibility residue can remain explicit inside the extracted runtime
5. any remaining callers of root Vacancy compatibility methods are inventoried so route-host deletion does not silently strand them
6. normal root startup paths provision svc-vacancies instead of silently depending on the old host staying up

Rollback Cutoff Criteria

Rollback can close when all of the following are true:

1. live gateway traffic has remained stable on svc-vacancies
2. the team no longer wants svc-tenders to remain as the fast Vacancy rollback target
3. default root startup and runbook docs clearly treat svc-vacancies as normal primary truth
4. default root startup actually provisions svc-vacancies
5. there is no open incident or known parity concern requiring the old route host to stay live

Compatibility-Backed Public-Read Notes

Retiring the old Vacancy route host does not, by itself, clean up public read truth.

After old-host retirement, the extracted runtime may still honestly preserve:

• projection-backed preferred Vacancy truth where available
• fallback to legacy vacancies where current VacancyReadRepository still does that

That mixed public-read behavior remains explicit until a later public-read cleanup sprint changes it on purpose.
