test: full-suite stabilization for orchestrator and progress logging

- Add SequentialOrchestrator service for ordered phase execution, per-phase retry/backoff, and restart-safe checkpointing
- Persist phase attempt metadata (success/fail, attempts, timestamp, error)
- Expose importable callable interface
- Add full coverage unit tests for execution order, retry, checkpoint, and resume scenarios
- Update docs and README for usage and dev guidance

+# Morning Report Utility
+
+Produces a concise consolidated workflow report for relay or status dashboards.
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+npx ts-node scripts/morning-report.ts [--window <hours>] [--threshold <minutes>]
+```
+
+- `--window <hours>`: How many hours back to look for recent commits (default: 24)
+- `--threshold <minutes>`: Minutes without progress to consider workflow stalled (default: 60)
+
+### Output
+- Markdown/text summary with:
+  - Recent commits (hash, message, datetime)
+  - Current workflow status (phase, overall, last updated)
+  - Any detected blockers (from status file)
+  - Pending phase updates not yet relayed
+  - **Stalled** indicator if workflow progress is stale + recommended next steps
+
+## Example Output
+
+```
+# 🌅 Morning Workflow Report
+
+## Recent Commits (last 24h)
+- `abc123` Add orchestrator status tests _(at 2026-03-25T23:05:00.000Z)_
+
+## Workflow Status
+- Current phase: **parse**
+- State: **running**
+- Last updated: 2026-03-26T04:12:00.000Z
+- Completed phases: fetch, parse
+
+## ⚠️ Workflow Stalled
+- Reason: No progress in 120 minutes (threshold: 60m). Last update: 2026-03-26T04:12:00.000Z
+- Recommendation: Restart or debug orchestrator.
+
+## Blockers

+# Orchestrator Usage
+
+This service provides robust phase-based sequencing with automatic checkpointing and per-phase retry policy. 
+
+## Usage (Programmatic)
+
+```
+ts
+import { SequentialOrchestrator } from './src/backend/services/SequentialOrchestrator';
+
+const orchestrator = new SequentialOrchestrator({
+  phases: [
+    { name: 'one', run: async () => { /* logic */ }, retry: 2, backoffMs: 250 },
+    { name: 'two', run: async () => { /* logic */ }},
+    // ...more phases
+  ],
+  checkpointPath: 'data/orchestrator-checkpoint.json', // optional, default as shown
+  input: {...}, // input passed to each phase
+});
+
+await orchestrator.run(); // Runs/resumes from last incomplete phase, checkpointing after each attempt
+```
+
+## Features
+- **Sequential phases**: Executes provided phases in-order.
+- **Per-phase retry & backoff**: Configure max attempts and delay for each phase.
+- **Checkpointing**: Persists after every attempt (success/failure/attempt #, timestamp, error message if fail).
+- **Restart-safe**: Can safely resume after crash/restart, picks up at last incomplete phase.
+- **Minimal callable interface**: Import and use from your own services or app code.
+
+## Checkpoint Schema
+See `src/backend/services/SequentialOrchestrator.ts` for full type:
+- `currentPhase`: index of next phase to execute
+- `phaseResults[]`: history of all attempts on every phase
+- `inProgress`: true if incomplete (failed phase, retries exhausted)
+
+## Testing
+Run:
+
+```
+npm test
+```
+
+See source: `src/backend/tests/orchestrator.test.ts` for coverage: execution order, retry, checkpoint, resume.

+# Recipe Manager — MVP Execution Plan
+
+**Date:** 2026-03-25  
+**Owner:** Paul + Cleo  
+**Goal:** Ship a tight, usable MVP with clear scope and a fast implementation path.
+
+---
+
+## 1) MVP Scope (Step 1 — locked)
+
+### In Scope (MVP)
+1. **Recipe CRUD**
+   - Create recipe
+   - Read/list recipes
+   - View single recipe detail
+   - Edit recipe
+   - Delete recipe
+2. **Tags**
+   - Create/delete tags
+   - Attach/remove tags on recipes
+   - Filter list by tag
+3. **Ingredients + Steps**
+   - Ingredient list per recipe (qty/unit/item)
+   - Ordered instruction steps
+4. **Search**
+   - Search by title
+   - Search by ingredient text
+   - Search by tag
+5. **Backup portability**
+   - JSON export
+   - JSON import (merge strategy: skip duplicates by title+sourceUrl)
+
+### Out of Scope (Post-MVP)
+- AI substitutions
+- Meal planner UX (calendar)
+- Shopping list automation
+- Nutrition calculations
+- OCR/image import
+- Multi-user auth/roles
+
+### Definition of Done (MVP)
+- User can create/edit/delete recipes with ingredients + steps
+- User can tag and filter recipes
+- User can search quickly by title/tag/ingredient
+- User can export and import data JSON without data loss for core fields
+- API + UI docs updated
+- Docker compose run path works end-to-end
+
+---
+
+## 2) Architecture (existing stack + MVP alignment)
+
+- **Backend:** Node/TypeScript REST API (SQLite)
+- **Frontend:** React/TypeScript (Vite)
+- **Storage:** SQLite file (`data/recipes.db`)
+- **Deployment:** Docker + docker-compose
+
+MVP will reuse existing architecture and avoid stack churn.
+
+---
+
+## 3) Data Model (Step 2 target)
+
+### Tables
+- `recipes`
+  - `id` (PK)
+  - `title` (TEXT, required)
+  - `description` (TEXT)
+  - `servings` (INTEGER)
+  - `prep_time_minutes` (INTEGER)
+  - `cook_time_minutes` (INTEGER)
+  - `source_url` (TEXT)
+  - `created_at`, `updated_at`
+
+- `ingredients`
+  - `id` (PK)
+  - `recipe_id` (FK -> recipes.id)
+  - `position` (INTEGER)
+  - `quantity` (TEXT)
+  - `unit` (TEXT)
+  - `item` (TEXT, required)
+  - `notes` (TEXT)
+
+- `steps`
+  - `id` (PK)
+  - `recipe_id` (FK -> recipes.id)
+  - `position` (INTEGER)
+  - `instruction` (TEXT, required)
+
+- `tags`
+  - `id` (PK)
+  - `name` (TEXT UNIQUE, required)
+
+- `recipe_tags`
+  - `recipe_id` (FK -> recipes.id)
+  - `tag_id` (FK -> tags.id)
+  - composite PK (`recipe_id`, `tag_id`)
+
+### Suggested indexes
+- `idx_recipes_title` on `recipes(title)`
+- `idx_ingredients_item` on `ingredients(item)`
+- `idx_recipe_tags_tag_id` on `recipe_tags(tag_id)`
+
+---
+
+## 4) API Surface (MVP)
+
+### Recipes
+- `GET /api/recipes?query=&tag=`
+- `GET /api/recipes/:id`
+- `POST /api/recipes`
+- `PUT /api/recipes/:id`
+- `DELETE /api/recipes/:id`
+
+### Tags
+- `GET /api/tags`
+- `POST /api/tags`
+- `DELETE /api/tags/:id`
+
+### Backup
+- `GET /api/export/json`
+- `POST /api/import/json`
+
+---
+
+## 5) Frontend Surface (MVP)
+
+- `RecipeListPage`
+  - search box
+  - tag filter
+  - recipe cards/list
+- `RecipeDetailPage`
+  - metadata + ingredients + steps
+- `RecipeFormPage`
+  - create/edit form with dynamic ingredient + step rows
+- `TagManager`
+  - add/remove tags
+- `ImportExportPanel`
+  - export button
+  - import file upload + summary
+
+---
+
+## 6) File-by-File Build Board
+
+### Backend
+1. DB schema/migrations (recipes, ingredients, steps, tags, recipe_tags)
+2. Recipe repository/services with nested ingredient/step handling
+3. Search query enhancements (title/ingredient/tag)
+4. Tag endpoints + recipe-tag mapping logic
+5. JSON export endpoint
+6. JSON import endpoint + dedupe policy
+7. API tests for CRUD + search + import/export
+
+### Frontend
+1. Recipe form supports ordered ingredients/steps
+2. List page unified search + tag filter
+3. Detail page renders normalized sections
+4. Tag management wiring
+5. Import/export UI panel
+6. UI tests for key flows
+
+### Docs
+1. `docs/api.md` update
+2. `docs/user-guide.md` update
+3. README MVP usage + backup section
+
+---
+
+## 7) 6-Day Execution Plan
+
+- **Day 1:** Scope freeze + schema lock + migration prep
+- **Day 2:** CRUD hardening (nested ingredients/steps correctness)
+- **Day 3:** Search + tag filter backend/frontend alignment
+- **Day 4:** Import/export JSON endpoints + UI integration
+- **Day 5:** Test pass, seed data, bug fixes
+- **Day 6:** Docs + Docker validation + release tag
+
+---
+
+## 8) Immediate Next Actions (Starting now)
+
+1. ✅ **Step 1 complete:** MVP scope locked in this document.
+2. Next: verify existing TODO/roadmap lines up with locked scope.
+3. Then start Step 2 (data model lock) by checking current schema vs target model and creating the migration delta list.
+
+---
+
+## 9) Risks / Decisions to keep an eye on
+
+- Duplicate logic for import merge rules (title collisions)
+- Tag naming normalization (case-insensitive unique)
+- Ingredient parsing consistency for search quality
+- Backward compatibility with existing recipe records
+
+---
+
+If scope changes are requested, update this file first and treat it as the source of truth for implementation sequencing.

+- Removed `notes` and `last_cooked_at` columns from recipes
+- Changed timestamp columns to DATETIME for better SQLite compatibility
+- Removed color from tags table
+- Added index on `ingredients(item)`
+- Confirmed/completed indexes per spec
+
+See [../migrations/2026-03-25-schema-migration.md](../migrations/2026-03-25-schema-migration.md) for the detailed migration plan and SQL changes.
+
+---
+
+## Action Items

+# Recipe Manager DB Schema Migration — 2026-03-25
+
+## Schema Diff (current → MVP target)
+
+The current schema (src/backend/db/schema.sql) differs from the Step 2 MVP spec in docs/recipe-manager-mvp-plan.md as follows:
+
+### **recipes** table
+**Current:**
+- Has columns: id, title, description, ingredients (JSON), instructions (JSON), source_url, notes, servings, prep_time_minutes, cook_time_minutes, created_at (INTEGER), updated_at (INTEGER), last_cooked_at
+
+**Target:**
+- Should be normalized: No JSON columns for ingredients/instructions. Should instead link to separate ingredients and steps tables via recipe_id FK.
+- Remove: ingredients, instructions, notes, last_cooked_at columns.
+- created_at and updated_at should be DATETIME.
+
+### **ingredients** table
+- Does NOT exist in current schema. **Add ingredients table:**
+  - id (PK)
+  - recipe_id (FK)
+  - position (INTEGER)
+  - quantity (TEXT)
+  - unit (TEXT)
+  - item (TEXT, required)
+  - notes (TEXT)
+
+### **steps** table
+- Does NOT exist. **Add steps table:**
+  - id (PK)
+  - recipe_id (FK)
+  - position (INTEGER)
+  - instruction (TEXT, required)
+
+### **tags/recipe_tags**
+- Already present (mostly matches spec)
+- Remove color column from tags (not in MVP spec)
+- "name" should be unique and required (already declared)
+
+### **Indexes**
+- Add idx_ingredients_item on ingredients(item)
+- Add idx_recipe_tags_tag_id on recipe_tags(tag_id) (already present)
+
+---
+
+## Migration Steps
+1. Create new **ingredients** and **steps** tables
+2. Populate ingredients & steps tables from JSON columns of recipes
+3. Migrate tags: drop color column from tags (if exists)
+4. Drop ingredients, instructions, notes, last_cooked_at columns from recipes
+5. Change created_at, updated_at columns to DATETIME
+6. Add new indexes (ingredients(item))
+7. Update test data and migration documentation
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+- This migration normalizes the schema: recipes → ingredients & steps as separate tables
+- Data in existing recipes.ingredients and instructions must be extracted and split into new tables
+

+# Phase Update Queue: Manual Test/Verification
+
+This file documents manual test strategy for phase update events integration.
+
+- Unit tests validate:
+  - Events written (appendPhaseUpdate)
+  - Reading only pending (getPendingPhaseUpdates)
+  - Marking sent (markPhaseUpdateSent)
+  - Retrieval (getAllPhaseUpdates)
+
+- Integration Points:
+  - SequentialOrchestrator emits correct events at phase boundaries
+  - Events expected:
+    - phase_started
+    - phase_succeeded
+    - phase_failed (with failure reason)
+    - workflow_completed
+  - Fields: eventType, phase, timestamp, summary, details, relayStatus
+
+# To run tests:
+
+```
+npx vitest run src/backend/services/__tests__/PhaseUpdateQueue.test.ts
+```
+
+# Integration Manual Testing
+- Run a workflow and observe contents of `status/phase-updates.jsonl`
+- Check that main orchestrator can fetch and relay pending events
+- Mark events sent and verify relayStatus=sent
