 All data comes from the CartSnitch API gateway (`cartsnitch/api`). Base URL configured via environment variable `VITE_API_URL`.
 
-- JWT auth: store access token in memory (not localStorage), refresh token in httpOnly cookie if possible, or secure storage.
+- **Authentication via Better-Auth** (`auth/` service). Sessions are managed via httpOnly cookies — no tokens in localStorage or memory.
+  - Auth service URL configured via `VITE_AUTH_URL` (default: `http://localhost:3001`)
+  - Frontend uses `better-auth/react` client for sign-in, sign-up, sign-out, and `useSession()` hook
+  - API gateway validates sessions by querying the shared `sessions` table in Postgres
+  - Both cookie-based and Bearer token auth are supported (cookies for web, Bearer for API clients)
 - TanStack Query handles caching, background refetching, and optimistic updates.
-- API client should handle 401 responses by attempting token refresh before retrying.
+- API client sends `credentials: 'include'` on all requests to forward session cookies.

-# CartSnitch Monorepo
-
-CartSnitch is a self-hosted grocery price intelligence platform. This repo consolidates the core services and the flagship frontend PWA.
-
-## Services
-
-| Directory | Service | Purpose |
-|-----------|---------|---------|
-| `/` (root) | **Frontend** | React 18 PWA — mobile-first price intelligence UI |
-| `api/` | **API Gateway** | FastAPI — frontend-facing REST API |
-| `common/` | **Common** | Shared Python models, schemas, Alembic migrations |
-| `receiptwitness/` | **ReceiptWitness** | Purchase ingestion via retailer scrapers |
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Frontend (root)
-
-```bash
-npm install
-npm run dev        # http://localhost:5173
-npm run build      # production build
-npm run test       # unit tests (Vitest)
-```
-
-### Python Services
-
-Each Python service uses [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) and has its own `pyproject.toml`:
-
-```bash
-cd api             # or common / receiptwitness
-uv sync
-uv run pytest
-```
-
-## Development Workflow
-
-- **Never push directly to main.** Always open a PR from a feature branch.
-- Branch naming: `feature/<description>` or `fix/<description>`
-- Conventional commits: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `chore:`
-
-## Architecture
-
-For full details see [CLAUDE.md](./CLAUDE.md) or the per-service `CLAUDE.md` in each subdirectory.
-
-CartSnitch is a polyrepo-style monorepo: each service can be built and deployed independently, but sharing code between `common/` and the other Python services is done via local path dependencies in `pyproject.toml`.

+# CartSnitch Common
+
+Shared models, schemas, and utilities for CartSnitch services.
+
+## Test Users
+
+The following users are seeded by `cartsnitch-seed` and can be used for local development and UAT.
+
+| Email | Password | Display Name | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `uat@cartsnitch.com` | `CartSnitch-UAT-2026!` | UAT Tester | Primary UAT account. Use for regression testing in the CartSnitch frontend. Created by the seed runner via Better-Auth's bcrypt path — credentials work against the live auth service. Idempotent; re-running the seed skips this user if it already exists. |
+
+### Running the Seed
+
+```bash
+# Install with seed dependencies
+pip install -e "cartsnitch-common[seed]"
+
+# Run (requires CARTSNITCH_DATABASE_URL_SYNC)
+CARTSNITCH_DATABASE_URL_SYNC=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/cartsnitch \
+  cartsnitch-seed
+```
+
+### Architecture
+
+- **Models** live in `src/cartsnitch_common/models/`
+- **Alembic migrations** run via the `api` service (`api/alembic/`)
+- **Seed runner** runs via `cartsnitch-seed` (installed as a package entry point)

+# CartSnitch UAT Runbook v1
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Author:** Savannah Savings, CTO
+**Date:** 2026-03-30
+**Effective:** Immediately upon Phase 1 completion
+
+---
+
+## 1. Defect Severity Classification
+
+Every defect discovered during UAT **must** be classified by severity and priority before triage.
+
+### Severity Levels
+
+| Severity | Definition | Examples |
+|----------|-----------|----------|
+| **S1 — Critical** | Blocks all users from completing a core journey. System is down, data is lost, or security is breached. | Login page crashes for all users; purchase data deleted; auth tokens exposed in response |
+| **S2 — High** | Blocks a major user flow for a significant portion of users. Core feature is broken but workarounds may exist. | Registration fails for email addresses with `+` character; price alerts never trigger; store comparison shows wrong prices |
+| **S3 — Medium** | Feature is degraded but usable. User can complete the journey with friction. | Date formatting shows raw ISO string instead of friendly date; slow page load (>5s) on product detail; search results not sorted correctly |
+| **S4 — Low** | Cosmetic issue, minor UI inconsistency, or edge case with minimal user impact. | Button text truncated on narrow screens; extra whitespace in footer; tooltip shows on hover but not on focus |
+
+### Priority Levels
+
+Priority determines **when** the defect must be fixed. Priority is set by the CTO based on severity, business impact, and sprint capacity.
+
+| Priority | SLA | When to Use |
+|----------|-----|------------|
+| **P0 — Fix Now** | Triage within 1 hour, fix deployed within 4 hours | S1 defects, any security vulnerability, data integrity issues |
+| **P1 — Fix This Sprint** | Triage within 4 hours, fix in current sprint | S2 defects blocking upcoming release, S1 defects with viable workaround |
+| **P2 — Fix Next Sprint** | Triage within 24 hours, scheduled for next sprint | S3 defects, S2 defects with easy workarounds |
+| **P3 — Backlog** | Triage within 48 hours, prioritized against backlog | S4 defects, minor improvements, nice-to-haves |
+
+### Defect Report Template
+
+Every defect filed during UAT must include:
+
+```
+**Title:** [Short description]
+**Severity:** S1/S2/S3/S4
+**Priority:** P0/P1/P2/P3 (set by CTO at triage)
+**Journey:** [Which user journey — J1 through J10]
+**Environment:** [Dev / Prod, deployed image tag]
+**Steps to Reproduce:**
+1. Navigate to ...
+2. Click ...
+3. Enter ...
+**Expected Result:** ...
+**Actual Result:** ...
+**Screenshots/Logs:** [Attach or link]
+**Browser/Device:** [e.g., Chromium 124, mobile viewport 390x844]
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. UAT Entry Criteria
+
+UAT **must not begin** until ALL of the following are satisfied. Checkout Charlie verifies these before opening the UAT gate.
+
+| # | Criterion | Verified By |
+|---|-----------|------------|
+| E1 | CI pipeline passes on the merged commit (lint, type-check, unit tests, build) | GitHub Actions (automated) |
+| E2 | Docker image is built and pushed to GHCR with a CalVer tag | GitHub Actions (automated) |
+| E3 | Dev environment is deployed and accessible at `cartsnitch.dev.farh.net` | Flux reconciliation + health check |
+| E4 | All Playwright E2E tests pass in CI | GitHub Actions (automated) |
+| E5 | No open S1/S2 defects from previous UAT cycle | Checkout Charlie (manual check) |
+| E6 | PR has been reviewed and approved by QA (Checkout Charlie) and CTO (Savannah Savings) | GitHub PR approvals |
+| E7 | PR has been merged to main by CEO (Coupon Carl) | GitHub merge event |
+| E8 | Acceptance criteria for the feature/change are documented in the Paperclip issue | Checkout Charlie (manual check) |
+
+**If any entry criterion is not met**, UAT is blocked. Checkout Charlie must comment on the Paperclip issue specifying which criteria failed and assign back to the responsible party.
+
+---
+
+## 3. UAT Exit Criteria
+
+UAT is **complete** only when ALL of the following are satisfied. Rollback Rhonda verifies these before signing off.
+
+| # | Criterion | Verified By |
+|---|-----------|------------|
+| X1 | All 10 critical user journeys (J1-J10) have been executed | Rollback Rhonda (full regression) |
+| X2 | Zero open S1 (Critical) defects | Defect tracker |
+| X3 | Zero open S2 (High) defects, OR CTO has granted a documented exception | Defect tracker + CTO sign-off |
+| X4 | All S3/S4 defects are logged and triaged (not necessarily fixed) | Defect tracker |
+| X5 | 100% test execution rate -- every test case was run, none skipped | Rollback Rhonda's UAT report |
+| X6 | Accessibility scan (axe-core) reports zero critical violations | Automated in E2E suite |
+| X7 | Lighthouse performance score >= 50, accessibility score >= 90 | Lighthouse CI |
+| X8 | Written sign-off from Rollback Rhonda confirming all criteria met | Paperclip comment on issue |
+
+**If any exit criterion is not met**, the release is blocked. Rollback Rhonda must:
+1. File defects for all failures using the Defect Report Template above.
+2. Comment on the Paperclip issue specifying which exit criteria failed.
+3. Assign back to CTO for triage and redistribution.
+
+---
+
+## 4. UAT Execution Procedure
+
+### 4.1 Pre-UAT (Checkout Charlie)
+
+1. Verify all entry criteria (E1-E8) are met.
+2. Comment on the Paperclip issue: "UAT gate open -- all entry criteria verified."
+3. Assign to Rollback Rhonda with status todo.
+
+### 4.2 UAT Execution (Rollback Rhonda)
+
+1. **Full regression run** -- execute ALL 10 user journeys against cartsnitch.dev.farh.net. No partial runs. No exceptions.
+2. For each journey, verify:
+   - All interactive elements respond correctly (buttons, forms, links, toggles)
+   - State transitions are correct (auth state, data mutations, navigation)
+   - Error states are handled gracefully (invalid input, network failures)
+   - Accessibility scan passes (axe-core integrated in Playwright)
+3. Log results for each journey: PASS / FAIL with details.
+4. File defects immediately for any failures.
+5. Complete the UAT report with execution results.
+
+### 4.3 Post-UAT Sign-Off
+
+1. If all exit criteria (X1-X8) are met:
+   - Rollback Rhonda posts sign-off comment: "UAT PASSED -- all exit criteria met."
+   - Production promotion is automated via Flux on UAT pass.
+2. If any exit criterion fails:
+   - Rollback Rhonda posts failure comment with specific failures.
+   - CTO triages defects and redistributes to engineers.
+   - After fixes are merged, UAT restarts from 4.1 (full cycle).
+
