# Phase C: Backend Core Domains - Status Report

## ✅ Completed Components

### 1. Database Schema ✅
- **Migration 002**: Complete schema for storage, SCST, and tape components
- All tables created and indexed properly

### 2. Storage Component ✅
- **Disk Discovery**: Physical disk detection via `lsblk` and `udevadm`
- **LVM Management**: Volume group listing, repository creation/management
- **Capacity Monitoring**: Repository usage tracking
- **API Endpoints**: Full CRUD for repositories
- **Bug Fixes**: JSON parsing for `lsblk` output (handles both string and number)

### 3. SCST Integration ✅
- **Target Management**: Create, list, and manage iSCSI targets
- **LUN Mapping**: Add devices to targets with proper LUN numbering
- **Initiator ACL**: Add initiators with single-initiator enforcement
- **Handler Detection**: List available SCST handlers
- **Configuration**: Apply SCST configuration (async task)
- **Verified**: All handlers detected correctly (dev_cdrom, dev_disk, vdisk_fileio, etc.)

### 4. System Management ✅
- **Service Status**: Get systemd service status
- **Service Control**: Restart services
- **Log Viewing**: Retrieve journald logs
- **Support Bundles**: Generate diagnostic bundles (async)

### 5. Authentication & Authorization ✅
- **JWT Authentication**: Working correctly
- **RBAC**: Role-based access control
- **Permission Checking**: Fixed lazy-loading of permissions
- **Audit Logging**: All mutating operations logged

### 6. Task Engine ✅
- **State Machine**: pending → running → completed/failed
- **Progress Tracking**: 0-100% progress reporting
- **Persistence**: All tasks stored in database
