0x1d 38a251968c docs: Align documentation with true microservices architecture
Transform all documentation from modular monolith to true microservices
architecture where core services are independently deployable.

Key Changes:
- Core Kernel: Infrastructure only (no business logic)
- Core Services: Auth, Identity, Authz, Audit as separate microservices
  - Each service has own entry point (cmd/{service}/)
  - Each service has own gRPC server and database schema
  - Services register with Consul for service discovery
- API Gateway: Moved from Epic 8 to Epic 1 as core infrastructure
  - Single entry point for all external traffic
  - Handles routing, JWT validation, rate limiting, CORS
- Service Discovery: Consul as primary mechanism (ADR-0033)
- Database Pattern: Per-service connections with schema isolation

Documentation Updates:
- Updated all 9 architecture documents
- Updated 4 ADRs and created 2 new ADRs (API Gateway, Service Discovery)
- Rewrote Epic 1: Core Kernel & Infrastructure (infrastructure only)
- Rewrote Epic 2: Core Services (Auth, Identity, Authz, Audit as services)
- Updated Epic 3-8 stories for service architecture
- Updated plan.md, playbook.md, requirements.md, index.md
- Updated all epic READMEs and story files

New ADRs:
- ADR-0032: API Gateway Strategy
- ADR-0033: Service Discovery Implementation (Consul)

New Stories:
- Epic 1.7: Service Client Interfaces
- Epic 1.8: API Gateway Implementation

Epic 2: Core Services (Authentication & Authorization)

Overview

Implement Auth, Identity, Authz, and Audit as separate, independent microservices. Each service has its own entry point (cmd/{service}/), gRPC server, database connection/schema, and registers with Consul service registry. Services communicate via service clients (gRPC) and use service discovery.

Key Principle: Each service is independently deployable from day one.

Stories

2.1 Auth Service - JWT Authentication

  • Story: 2.1 - Auth Service
  • Goal: Implement Auth Service as independent microservice with JWT token generation/validation.
  • Deliverables:
    • Service entry point: cmd/auth-service/main.go
    • gRPC server implementation
    • Database connection and schema (auth schema)
    • Service registration with Consul
    • JWT token generation/validation logic

2.2 Identity Service - User Management

  • Story: 2.2 - Identity Service
  • Goal: Implement Identity Service as independent microservice for user CRUD and password management.
  • Deliverables:
    • Service entry point: cmd/identity-service/main.go
    • gRPC server implementation
    • Database connection and schema (identity schema with User entity)
    • Service registration with Consul
    • User CRUD, password management, email verification

2.3 Authz Service - Authorization & RBAC

  • Story: 2.3 - Authz Service
  • Goal: Implement Authz Service as independent microservice for permission resolution and authorization.
  • Deliverables:
    • Service entry point: cmd/authz-service/main.go
    • gRPC server implementation
    • Database connection and schema (authz schema with Role, Permission entities)
    • Service registration with Consul
    • Permission resolution, RBAC/ABAC authorization

2.4 Role Management (Part of Authz Service)

  • Story: 2.4 - Role Management
  • Goal: Extend Authz Service with role management API.
  • Deliverables:
    • Role management gRPC endpoints
    • Role assignment to users (via Identity Service client)
    • Permission assignment to roles

2.5 Audit Service - Audit Logging

  • Story: 2.5 - Audit Service
  • Goal: Implement Audit Service as independent microservice for audit logging.
  • Deliverables:
    • Service entry point: cmd/audit-service/main.go
    • gRPC server implementation
    • Database connection and schema (audit schema with AuditLog entity)
    • Service registration with Consul
    • Audit log recording and querying

2.6 Database Seeding

  • Story: 2.6 - Database Seeding
  • Goal: Provide seeding for all services (initial admin user, default roles, permissions).
  • Deliverables:
    • Seed scripts for each service
    • Seed commands
    • Integration with service startup

Deliverables Checklist

  • Auth Service: Independent service with gRPC server, database schema, Consul registration
  • Identity Service: Independent service with gRPC server, User entity, Consul registration
  • Authz Service: Independent service with gRPC server, Role/Permission entities, Consul registration
  • Audit Service: Independent service with gRPC server, AuditLog entity, Consul registration
  • All services use service clients for inter-service communication
  • All services have their own database connection pools and schemas
  • Seed scripts for all services

Acceptance Criteria

  • Each service is independently deployable
  • Each service has its own entry point (cmd/{service}/main.go)
  • Each service registers with Consul service registry
  • Services communicate via gRPC through service clients
  • Each service has its own database schema
  • API Gateway can route to all services via service discovery
  • Integration test: Services can discover and communicate with each other
