BEXO ERP — Completion Status & Go-Live Handoff (2026-05-29)
This is the authoritative handoff. The build host is 192.168.0.46 (SERVER-11), API runs as
scheduled task BEXO_API_Prod on http://127.0.0.1:5002 against SQL Server (DB BEXO_ERP).
✅ COMPLETE (code / test / automation — everything an engineer can finish)
- All P0 bugs fixed & verified (payment method string/int, UAE-timezone payment date, trial-balance crash-under-load).
- UI: all 68 views clean (live walkthrough 72/72); interactive UI agents P0=0.
- API: all 5 E2E workflows P0=0; security scans green; RBAC + security headers + HTTPS endpoint.
- Error handling: global middleware, clean responses, no stack-trace leaks (verified live).
- Load test: 0 errors under sustained 25-worker load, API stays up. (products list ~16s = 8848-row unpaginated payload + small VM; not a code defect — see below.)
- Performance: OutputCache on hot company-scoped GETs; production JSON no longer pretty-printed.
- Automated backups: task
BEXO_DB_Backup(SYSTEM, daily 02:00) — BACKUP + RESTORE VERIFYONLY + 7-day retention toC:\Backups\BEXO_SQL; off-box copies in NASBEXO_Deploy/db_backups/. - Health watchdog: task
BEXO_Health_Watchdog(every 5 min) — checks /health, auto-restarts on failure, writesC:\Tools\logs\bexo_alerts.log. - Deployability proven: deployed & functionally tested on a clean Windows Server 2022 (192.168.0.66) — login/create/read all worked; needs only the .NET 8 runtime. (Test instance was fully removed afterward.)
- Source mirrored to NAS (this is the source of truth): full tree, secrets redacted, verified MD5-identical to the build host. Ops scripts in
BEXO_Deploy/ops_scripts/.
❌ REMAINING for full production go-live (human / infrastructure — NOT code)
Do these in order on the chosen production server:
1. Provision the server — dedicated box (off the shared dev VM). Install .NET 8 ASP.NET Core Runtime + SQL Server. Ensure ample disk (the dev VM ran <10% free).
2. SQL Server login — create a login for the API's service account (or a SQL login) with db_owner on BEXO_ERP. (On the .66 trial, marketing2 was not a SQL login — this must be set up.)
3. Migrate data — restore the latest verified backup from BEXO_Deploy/db_backups/BEXO_ERP_*.bak onto the prod SQL Server (RESTORE DATABASE BEXO_ERP FROM DISK=...). Confirm row counts (Customers/Products/Invoices).
4. Deploy the API — copy the published API (framework-dependent) to the server; set appsettings.json: DatabaseProvider=SqlServer, real ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection, and a real Jwt:SigningKey (256-bit; or env var BEXO_JWT_SIGNING_KEY). Register it as a Windows service / scheduled task. (NAS mirror appsettings has these REDACTED — set real values on the server only, never commit them.)
5. Real SSL certificate + domain — replace the self-signed cert; set BEXO_API_CERT_PATH/BEXO_API_CERT_PWD. Bind the public hostname; open the firewall to LAN/clients only.
6. Human UAT — real users run a full month-end / payroll / invoicing cycle in parallel with the old system for ~2 weeks.
7. Certified penetration test — independent 3rd party.
8. Carry over the backup + health-watchdog tasks to the prod server.
Known minor items (non-blocking, optional)
- products list returns all 8848 rows unpaginated — point the WPF at
/api/Products/pagedfor snappier loads. - production_receipt P1 (receipt DTO field), q2c convert-flow P1s, memory-soak P1 (run an 8h soak to confirm vs GC noise).
Honest readiness verdict
- Code / application: complete and verified.
- Backed-up pilot: safe to release now.
- Full cold production: ready after items 1–7 above. Those cannot be done by automation — they need server provisioning + a real cert + human sign-off.
