-## Cleanup Notes
-> Documentation Audit
-
-  - Documented commands make test/make test-frontend appear across README.md:12-17, backend/README.md:20-38, docs/TESTING.md:24-49, AI-INDEX.md:8, and frontend/
-  README.md:8-28; the Makefile only advertises them in help (Makefile:11-12) with no corresponding targets, so the instructions currently break.
-  - README.md:27 and AI-INDEX.md:19 point folks to http://localhost:3001/health, but docker-compose.yml:77-135 never exposes that port, meaning the reachable
-  probe is https://motovaultpro.com/api/health via Traefik.
-  - docs/TESTING.md:11-99,169-175 commit to full per-feature suites and fixtures such as vehicles.fixtures.json, yet backend/src/features/fuel-logs/tests and
-  backend/src/features/maintenance/tests contain no files (see find output), and backend/src/features/vehicles/tests/fixtures is empty.
-  - Backend fuel-log docs still describe the legacy contract (gallons, pricePerGallon, mpg field) in backend/src/features/fuel-logs/README.md:20-78, but the
-  code now accepts/returns dateTime, fuelUnits, costPerUnit, efficiency, etc. (backend/src/features/fuel-logs/domain/fuel-logs.service.ts:17-320).
-
-  Security & Platform
-
-  - docs/VEHICLES-API.md:35-36 and 149-151 still require an API key, while the platform routes enforce Auth0 JWTs via fastify.authenticate (backend/src/
-  features/platform/api/platform.routes.ts:20-42); there’s no API key configuration in the repo.
-  - docs/VEHICLES-API.md:38-41 promises 1-hour Redis TTLs, but PlatformCacheService stores dropdown data for six hours and successful VIN decodes for seven days
-  (backend/src/features/platform/domain/platform-cache.service.ts:27-110).
-  - docs/SECURITY.md:15-16 claims “Unauthenticated Endpoints – None,” yet /health and /api/health are open (backend/src/app.ts:69-86); docs/SECURITY.md:25-
-  29 also states Postgres connections are encrypted even though the pool uses a plain postgresql:// URL without SSL options (backend/src/core/config/config-
-  loader.ts:213-218; backend/src/core/config/database.ts:1-16).
-  - docs/SECURITY.md:21-23 references the old FastAPI VIN service, but VIN decoding now lives entirely in TypeScript (backend/src/features/platform/domain/vin-
-  decode.service.ts:1-114).
-
-  Feature Guides
-
-  - backend/src/features/vehicles/README.md:15-108 still references an implemented dropdown proxy, a platform-vehicles client folder, and a platform-
-  vehicles.client.test.ts, yet the service methods remain TODO stubs returning empty arrays (backend/src/features/vehicles/domain/vehicles.service.ts:165-193)
-  and there is no such client or test file in the tree.
-  - docs/VEHICLES-API.md:58-97 says the frontend consumes /api/vehicles/dropdown/*, but the current client hits /platform/* and expects raw arrays (frontend/
-  src/features/vehicles/api/vehicles.api.ts:35-69) while the backend responds with wrapped objects like { makes: [...] } (backend/src/features/platform/api/
-  platform.controller.ts:48-94), so either the docs or the code path needs realignment.
-  - backend/src/features/fuel-logs/README.md:150-153 advertises a fuel-stats:vehicle:{vehicleId} Redis cache and response fields like totalLogs/averageMpg, but
-  getVehicleStats performs fresh queries and returns { logCount, totalFuelUnits, totalCost, averageCostPerUnit, totalDistance, averageEfficiency, unitLabels }
-  with no caching (backend/src/features/fuel-logs/domain/fuel-logs.service.ts:226-320).
-  - backend/src/features/documents/README.md:4,23-25 describes S3-compatible storage and a core/middleware/user-context dependency; in reality uploads go to
-  the filesystem adapter (backend/src/core/storage/storage.service.ts:1-48; backend/src/core/storage/adapters/filesystem.adapter.ts:1-86) and there is no user-
-  context module in backend/src/core.
-  - docs/DATABASE-SCHEMA.md:109-111 asserts station caching happens in Redis, but Station data is persisted in Postgres tables such as station_cache
-  (backend/src/features/stations/data/stations.repository.ts:11-115), and docs/DATABASE-SCHEMA.md:155-157 mentions “RESTRICT on delete” even though
-  migrations use ON DELETE CASCADE (backend/src/features/fuel-logs/migrations/001_create_fuel_logs_table.sql:18-21; backend/src/features/maintenance/
-  migrations/002_recreate_maintenance_tables.sql:21-43).
-
-  Questions
-
-  - Do we want to add the missing make test / make test-frontend automation (so the documented workflow survives), or should the documentation be rewritten to
-  direct people to the existing docker compose exec ... npm test commands?
-  - For the vehicles dropdown flow, should the docs be updated to call out the current TODOs, or is finishing the proxy implementation (and aligning the
-  frontend/client responses) a higher priority?
-
-  Suggested next steps: decide on the build/test command strategy, refresh the security/platform documentation to match the Auth0 setup and real cache
-  behaviour, and schedule a pass over the feature READMEs (vehicles, fuel logs, documents) so they match the implemented API contracts.
