Standalone Legal & Statutory Compliance App (T1-8A · T1-8B · T1-9 · O-038)

116 Corpus Files · 8 Domain Objects · S3 Expiry/Recycle Vault · 20/20 Pytest Green

1. What We Are Building & Why

Replaces 14 fragmented legal & statutory folders (`116` PDFs/XLSX) with a standalone **Legal & Compliance Workspace** (`/admin/compliance` + `/compliance`).
Governs 5 pillars: **Statutory Licenses** (FSSAI, Fire NOC, Trade, Labour, Pollution), **Commercial Leases**, **Insurance Policies**, **IP/Trademarks**, and **Regulatory Notices**.
Automates **90/60/30-day renewal tasks** and enforces an **S3 Document Expiry & Recycle Vault** (`ACTIVE -> EXPIRING_SOON -> EXPIRED -> RECYCLED`).
Blocks new outlet opening (`LAUNCH_READY`) if mandatory **FSSAI** or **Fire NOC** is missing or expired (`O-038`).

2. Personas & Access Scope

**Outlet Manager**: View own outlet's active FSSAI/Trade certificates for inspector walk-ins; upload renewed copy to S3 vault.
**Legal & Compliance Officer (HQ)**: Full CRUD across all 32 outlets & 2 commissaries; manage notices, leases, and trademark renewals.
**CFO / Owner (`cfo@harleys.com`)**: Approve rent escalations, lock renewal challan budgets, and review red-zone expiry radar.

3. Owner Sign-Off Decisions

Approve **FSSAI + Fire NOC Hard Launch Gate** (blocks outlet activation when expired).
Approve **90/60/30-Day Automated Renewal Task Escalation** to Legal -> Ops -> CFO.
Approve **S3 Document Recycle Lifecycle** (superseded PDFs move to `RECYCLED` with 7-year audit retention).

2A. Core User Journeys & Functional Intake Rules

Journey / Capability	Persona & Trigger	System Action & Hard Gate Rule
1. Statutory License Radar	Legal Officer / Cron (`08:00 IST`)	Scans `compliance.statutory_licenses` across 32 outlets; auto-creates `RENEWAL_TASK` at T-90, T-60, T-30 days before `valid_until`.
2. Outlet Opening Gate (`O-038`)	Projects / Ops Manager	Queries active `FSSAI_STATE`/`FSSAI_CENTRAL` + `FIRE_NOC` for `outlet_id`; blocks `LAUNCH_READY` transition if either is missing/expired.
3. Commercial Lease Escalation	CFO / Legal Officer	Tracks `lock_in_end_date`, `security_deposit_inr`, and 15% triennial escalation schedule; alerts HQ 60 days prior to escalation.
4. S3 Document Upload & Recycle	Legal Officer / Outlet Mgr	Uploads signed PDF (`sha256_hex` verified) to S3; old certificate transitions `EXPIRED -> RECYCLED` with `superseded_by_object_id` pointer.

2B. Underlying Domain Objects & How They Work Together

[Outlet (branch_code)] 1───* [StatutoryLicense (FSSAI / Fire / Trade / Labour)] 1───1 [EvidenceVaultObject (S3)] │ │ ├───* [LeaseAgreement (Rent/Deposit)] └───► (Hard Gate: Blocks CapexProject LAUNCH_READY if FSSAI/Fire expired) └───* [ComplianceNotice (Show-Cause / SLA)] ───► [Auto-Escalation Task -> Legal / CFO]

Domain Object (`Table`)	PK & Tenant Scope	Core Attributes & Constraints	Cross-Object Handshake
`compliance.legal_entities`	`entity_code`	CIN, GSTIN, PAN, registered office (`HARLEYS-FOOD-PVT-LTD`, etc.)	Parent corporate holder for all licenses, leases & trademarks
`compliance.statutory_licenses`	`license_id (outlet_id)`	License category (`FSSAI`, `FIRE_NOC`, `TRADE`, `LABOUR`), `valid_until`, `status`	Links `Outlet` to `EvidenceVaultObject`; gates `CapexProject` launch
`compliance.lease_agreements`	`lease_id (outlet_id)`	Landlord, `monthly_rent_inr`, `escalation_pct`, `lease_end_date`	Feeds outlet occupancy cost & 60-day rent escalation alerts
`compliance.insurance_policies`	`policy_id`	Insurer, `sum_insured_inr`, `premium_inr`, `expiry_date`	Links to `assets.fixed_assets` for fire/machinery breakdown claims
`compliance.trademark_assets`	`tm_id (application_no)`	Brand mark (`HARLEY'S`), Nice Class `30`/`35`/`43`, `valid_until`	Protects brand IP across packaging & franchise agreements
`compliance.compliance_notices`	`notice_id (outlet_id)`	Issuing authority, `response_due_date`, `severity`, `status`	Triggers P0 alert to Legal & CFO until `CLOSED_RESOLVED`
`compliance.evidence_vault_objects`	`object_id (sha256_hex)`	S3 key, `lifecycle_state` (`ACTIVE`..`RECYCLED`), `expires_on`	Immutable S3 document backing every license, lease, and notice

2C. State Machines & Operational Guardrails

S3 Document Expiry & Recycle State Machine

ACTIVE (>60d) → EXPIRING_SOON (≤60d, spawns renewal task) → EXPIRED (<0d, blocks launch gate) → RECYCLED (superseded by renewed S3 object; retained 7 yrs).

90 / 60 / 30 / 0-Day Escalation Ladder

T-90d: Amber task to Compliance Exec · T-60d: Escalates to Head of Ops · T-30d: Red-Zone alert to CFO/Owner · T-0d: Outlet flagged NON_COMPLIANT_HOLD.

2D. Global F&B / Patisserie / Enterprise Industry Benchmarks & Hostile Peer Review Verdict

Global Industry Benchmark / Peer Reviewer	Standard / Gate Adopted	How Harley's OneOps / HOP Enforces It
SafetyCulture / Jubilant FoodWorks GRC Standard	Zero-Surprise Statutory Radar across 32 Outlets	Replaces scattered WhatsApp PDFs and 116 ad-hoc legal files (`h2o-legal`) with a deterministic 90/60/30/15/7-day escalation ladder (Legal Executive -> Legal Lead -> COO/Founder).
FSSAI + FoSTaC + NABL Water + Fire NOC Lock	Cross-Module Launch & Roster Enforcement	Hard-wires statutory compliance into NSO Store Opening (`T1-14` Gate 4) and People Roster (`T1-11` FoSTaC supervisor ratio & food-handler medical fitness).
Hostile Peer Review Verdict (`Astra XHigh` + `Opus 4.7`)	✅ INTAKE SIGNED (19:33 IST) & BENCHMARKED	Confirmed content-addressed S3 storage (`sha256_hex`), Recycle Vault chain-of-custody, and 1-Tap Outlet Inspector Mode (`360px` mobile-ready).

2F. Universal HOP Nudge & Accountability Framework Compliance Contract (`acct-*` / `O-022` / `O-045`)

HOP Accountability Pillar	Constitutional Rule (`acct-*` / `O-022` / `O-045`)	How Every Checklist & Gate in This Module Enforces It
1. Single Named Accountable Owner (`person_id`)	Zero shared role/committee ownership (`NOT NULL REFERENCES hop.people`)	Every stage gate, checklist item, repair ticket, and store readiness step binds to exactly 1 named human (`person_id`) who signs with their 4-digit User PIN (`O-022`).
2. Deterministic Escalation Ladder & Timers	`Named Owner (T-24h) → HOP Nudge #1 + Shift/Store Mgr (T-6h / +15m) → HOP Nudge #2 + Cluster Mgr (T-2h / +30m) → City/COO/CFO Hard Gate Lock (T-0)`	Persists durable WhatsApp + in-app delivery receipts in `accountability_nudges`; automatically freezes the downstream gate (`LOCKED_NOT_ENABLED` / `GATE_BLOCKED`) at `T-0`.
3. M3 Independent 2nd-Person Verification	`✓ Confirm = I checked the work` (`verified_by_id != completed_by_id`) vs `↩ Return for correction`	Database `CHECK (m3_verified_by_id <> m3_completed_by_id)` prevents self-verification; selecting `↩ Return` requires a mandatory reason, increments `revision_count++`, and fires an instant re-nudge.
4. Structured `✕ Cannot` 6-Reason Chips + Upstream Re-Routing	`CK Crate Short` · `Cold-Chain Excursion` · `Packaging Missing` · `POS SKU Missing` · `Equipment Down` · `Staff Shortage`	Selecting a `✕ Cannot` chip + 1 evidence photo records an immutable `BLOCKED` receipt for the store and automatically transfers accountability + HOP Nudge upstream to the `L3 CK`, `L4 Logistics`, `L5 POS`, or `Procurement/MEP` Named Owner.
5. Snooze Cap (`Max 2`) & `O-045` Evidence Proportionality	`snooze_count ≤ 2` (`+15m` then `+30m`) + End-of-Sequence Checklist Proof (`SK-16`)	Hard-caps snoozes at 2 before escalating to Cluster Manager; routine checklists use 1-tap ticks + ONE end-of-sequence summary photo, restricting selfies + 4-digit PIN strictly to Critical/M3, Repair Closure, and Attendance/Spot Audits.
