# Risks And Gaps This file tracks known gaps and risks to address in future iterations. ## Security And Auth - Phone normalization is KSA-focused and minimal; broaden for multi-country use. - OTP protections are basic; add device fingerprinting and IP throttling if needed. - Authentica OTP provider is implemented (SMS + WhatsApp via Authentica OTP). - Social login is a placeholder. - `USERNAME_FIELD` is now `"phone_number"`; `REQUIRED_FIELDS = []`; `create_superuser` accepts `phone_number`. Admin and `createsuperuser` work correctly for phone-only users. - Password token obtain endpoint (`/api/auth/token/`) is deprecated (`410 Gone`); phone OTP flow is the login source of truth. - OTP purpose isolation is enforced at verification endpoint boundaries (`/otp/verify` accepts only `verify`, `/phone/verify` accepts only `auth`). - Django admin user configuration remains email-centric (ordering/add form defaults), increasing operational friction for phone-only accounts. - Multiple serializers/model `__str__` paths in non-auth apps still fallback to `user.email`; phone-only users may get poor display/audit clarity. ## Next Auth Review Points - DB-level guardrails for `accounts_user.phone_number` are now enforced (`NOT NULL`, `UNIQUE`, E.164 check constraint). - Decide user lifecycle for phone auth (create user before OTP verify vs provisional/pre-user state). - Expand abuse prevention beyond per-phone cooldown (IP throttling, device fingerprint, risk signals). - Define OAuth account-linking policy (phone/email conflicts, merge rules, trust source). - Add explicit tests for remaining phone-first invariants (verified-phone guards and any legacy-path regressions). ## Booking Integrity - Availability checks and overlap prevention are now enforced for staff bookings. - **Race condition — fixed:** `BookingCreateSerializer.create()` now locks the staff row with `select_for_update()` inside `transaction.atomic()` and re-runs the overlap check before inserting. Concurrent requests for the same staff slot are serialized at the DB level. Requires PostgreSQL in production (SQLite ignores `FOR UPDATE` but still serializes writes). - No timezone handling or business hours enforcement. - No cancellation rules or refund logic. ## Payments - Moyasar payment creation, webhook reconciliation, and idempotency are implemented. - Moyasar capture and refund are implemented in the gateway; API endpoints for admin-initiated capture/refund can be added when needed. ## Data And UX - Ratings are not recalculated from reviews. - No image upload or storage strategy for photos. - Booking lifecycle notifications are implemented; Authentica can deliver SMS when NOTIFICATION_PROVIDER=authentica. - Localization foundations are in progress; full Arabic translation coverage and RTL QA are still pending. ## Ops And Compliance - No audit logs for admin actions. - No multi-tenant isolation or data export tooling. - No GDPR/PDPL data retention policies defined.
