## Bugs Found & Status

### Critical Bugs (Must Fix Before Production)

#### 🔴 BUG-006: Type Error in setCorsHeaders() Function
- **Status**: ✅ **FIXED**
- **Severity**: P1 (Critical) - BLOCKING
- **Component**: orchestrator-api-core
- **Impact**: All API endpoints were unusable

**Description**: The `setCorsHeaders()` function attempted to use `in_array()` with a string instead of an array, causing a fatal TypeError on every API call.

**Root Cause**:
- `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` defined as string `'*'` in `.env.php`
- `setCorsHeaders()` expected it to be an array

**Fix Applied**: ✅ Updated `orchestrator/lib/util.php:147-180`
- Added type checking to handle both string and array formats
- Properly handles wildcard `'*'` case
- Parses comma-separated string into array when needed

**Verification**: Can now be tested by running any API endpoint

---

#### 🔴 BUG-001: Database Connection Failure
- **Status**: ⏳ **Environment Configuration Required**
- **Severity**: P0 (Blocker)
- **Component**: orchestrator-database
- **Impact**: Cannot test any database-dependent functionality

**Description**: Database connection fails with `SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory`

**Root Cause**: MySQL/MariaDB not running or not configured in environment

**Required Actions**:
1. Install MySQL/MariaDB server
2. Start database service
3. Create database: `studymate_orchestrator`
4. Run schema: `mysql -u root studymate_orchestrator < orchestrator/sql/schema.sql`
5. Run seeds: `mysql -u root studymate_orchestrator < orchestrator/sql/seeds.sql`

**Note**: This is an environmental prerequisite, not a code bug.

---

#### 🔴 BUG-002: JWT_SECRET Using Default Value
- **Status**: 🔓 **Open - SECURITY CRITICAL**
- **Severity**: P0 (Security)
- **Component**: orchestrator-security
- **Impact**: CRITICAL - Authentication can be bypassed

**Description**: JWT_SECRET still uses default value from example, allowing attackers to forge valid tokens and bypass authentication completely.

**Security Impact**:
- Attackers can impersonate any user
- Access all tenant data without authorization
- Complete authentication bypass

**Required Fix**:
```bash
# Generate secure secret
php -r "echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32));"

# Update .env.php
define('JWT_SECRET', 'generated_secure_random_string_here');
```

**Priority**: **MUST FIX BEFORE ANY PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT**

---

### Minor Issues

#### 🟡 WARN-001: Backup Job Logging Incomplete
- **Status**: Open
- **Severity**: P2 (Low)
- **Component**: orchestrator-jobs
- **Impact**: Limited observability of job execution

**Description**: Backup job (`orchestrator/jobs/backup.php`) missing start logging, making it harder to track when jobs begin execution.

**Recommendation**: Add log entry at job start for better traceability.
