Architecture Note

Role-aware MVC application

Inspected source shows a structured ASP.NET Core application with role-gated workflows, persisted domain records and auditable product activity.

  1. Layer01

    Access

    ASP.NET Core Identity establishes Farmer, Employee and Admin role paths.

  2. Layer02

    Workflows

    MVC controllers handle products, farmer records, forum discussion and audit-log review.

  3. Layer03

    Persistence

    EF Core with SQLite stores farmers, products, forum replies, audit logs and notifications.

  4. Layer04

    Cross-cutting

    Product changes call AuditService, while resources configure English (South Africa), Afrikaans and isiZulu support.

Farmer product creation workflow

  1. 01

    Farmer identity

    An authenticated farmer enters the role-scoped product route.

  2. 02

    Controller guard

    ProductController checks that the submitted farmer belongs to the signed-in user.

  3. 03

    Data write

    EF Core saves the product record against the farmer relationship.

  4. 04

    Activity trace

    AuditService records creation and ProductNotifier triggers its registered observer.

An isolated validation run passed 18/18 xUnit and WebApplicationFactory tests without compiler warnings on 28 May 2026 after repairing the MVC cookie/JWT authentication split, Identity Razor Page tag-helper imports and source-quality warnings.

Derived from source inspected on 27-28 May 2026. This describes implemented boundaries and isolated local validation, not live production operation.
