## Scenario Results

### Happy Path
| ID | Scenario | Status | Evidence |
|----|----------|--------|----------|

| HP-9 | Admin reads another user's preferences | PASS | TestQA_HP9_AdminReadOtherUser — 200 for admin reading usr_456 |
| HP-10 | GET then PUT then GET roundtrip | PASS | TestQA_HP10_GetPutGetRoundtrip — data persisted correctly through write/read cycle |

| HP-12 | Health endpoint still works | PASS | TestQA_HP12_HealthEndpoint — GET /health returns 200 |

### Edge Cases
| ID | Scenario | Status | Evidence |
|----|----------|--------|----------|
| EC-1 | PUT replaces all fields (full replace, not merge) | PASS | TestQA_EC1_PutFullReplace — second PUT fully replaces first, GET returns second values |
| EC-2 | Concurrent updates to same user | PASS | TestQA_EC2_ConcurrentUpdates — 10 goroutines, all 200, final state valid (last-write-wins) |
| EC-3 | User ID with special characters | PASS | TestQA_EC3_SpecialCharUserID — usr_abc-123.456 returns 200 with defaults |
| EC-4 | Very long user ID | PASS | TestQA_EC4_LongUserID — 256-char user ID handled gracefully with 200 |
| EC-5 | PUT immediately after service start | PASS | TestQA_EC5_PutOnFreshService — 200 on empty repo |
| EC-6 | Multiple GETs for non-existent user | PASS | TestQA_EC6_MultipleGetsNonExistent — 3 GETs all return 200 with same defaults |
| EC-7 | Updated_at omitted for default preferences | PASS | TestQA_EC7_UpdatedAtOmittedForDefaults — updated_at empty/omitted for unsaved user |
| EC-8 | Updated_at populated after PUT | PASS | TestQA_EC8_UpdatedAtPopulatedAfterPut — updated_at is a valid RFC3339 timestamp |

### Error Cases

| ER-17 | PUT with missing digest in notifications | PASS | TestQA_ER17_MissingDigest — 400 |
| ER-18 | Expired JWT token | SKIPPED | Requires live JWT infrastructure; auth.Middleware() handles this at middleware layer before handler |
| ER-19 | Invalid JWT signature | SKIPPED | Requires live JWT infrastructure; auth.Middleware() handles this at middleware layer before handler |
| ER-20 | PUT with multiple validation errors | PASS | TestQA_ER20_MultipleValidationErrors — 400 for theme:"neon", language:"zz", digest:"yearly" |

| Example scaffold removed | No example endpoints respond | COVERED |

## Failures
None. All 38 executed scenarios passed. 2 scenarios (ER-18, ER-19) skipped due to requiring live JWT middleware infrastructure — these are covered by the `auth.Middleware()` implementation which rejects expired/invalid tokens before they reach the handler.
