+### PM2 Process Isolation (Production/Test Servers)
+
+**CRITICAL**: Production and test environments share the same PM2 daemon on the server.
+
+| Environment | Processes                                                                                    | Config File                 |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| Production  | `flyer-crawler-api`, `flyer-crawler-worker`, `flyer-crawler-analytics-worker`                | `ecosystem.config.cjs`      |
+| Test        | `flyer-crawler-api-test`, `flyer-crawler-worker-test`, `flyer-crawler-analytics-worker-test` | `ecosystem-test.config.cjs` |
+| Development | `flyer-crawler-api-dev`, `flyer-crawler-worker-dev`, `flyer-crawler-vite-dev`                | `ecosystem.dev.config.cjs`  |
+
+**Deployment Scripts MUST:**
+
+- ✅ Filter PM2 commands by exact process names or name patterns (e.g., `endsWith('-test')`)
+- ❌ NEVER use `pm2 stop all`, `pm2 delete all`, or `pm2 restart all`
+- ❌ NEVER delete/stop processes based solely on status without name filtering
+- ✅ Always verify process names match the target environment before any operation
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# ✅ CORRECT - Production cleanup (filter by name)
+pm2 stop flyer-crawler-api flyer-crawler-worker flyer-crawler-analytics-worker
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - Test cleanup (filter by name pattern)
+# Only delete test processes that are errored/stopped
+list.forEach(p => {
+  if ((p.pm2_env.status === 'errored' || p.pm2_env.status === 'stopped') &&
+      p.name && p.name.endsWith('-test')) {
+    exec('pm2 delete ' + p.pm2_env.pm_id);
+  }
+});
+
+# ❌ WRONG - Affects all environments
+pm2 stop all
+pm2 delete all
+
+# ❌ WRONG - No name filtering (could delete test processes during prod deploy)
+if (p.pm2_env.status === 'errored') {
+  exec('pm2 delete ' + p.pm2_env.pm_id);
+}
+```

 ## Context

 2. **Code-Documentation Sync**: Documentation should stay in sync with the actual code to prevent drift.
 3. **Low Maintenance Overhead**: The documentation approach should be "fast and lite" - minimal additional work for developers.

+5. **Type Safety**: Documentation should be derived from TypeScript types to ensure accuracy.
+
+### Why We Migrated from swagger-jsdoc to tsoa
+
+The original implementation used `swagger-jsdoc` to generate OpenAPI specs from JSDoc comments. This approach had several limitations:
+
+| Issue                                   | Impact                                       |

+| No runtime validation from schema       | Validation logic separate from documentation |
+| Manual type definitions in comments     | Error-prone, no compiler verification        |
 
 ## Decision
 
-We will adopt **OpenAPI 3.0 (Swagger)** for API documentation using the following approach:
+We adopt **tsoa** for API documentation using a decorator-based controller pattern:
 
-1. **JSDoc Annotations**: Use `swagger-jsdoc` to generate OpenAPI specs from JSDoc comments in route files.
-2. **Swagger UI**: Use `swagger-ui-express` to serve interactive documentation at `/docs/api-docs`.
-3. **Environment Restriction**: Only expose the Swagger UI in development and test environments, not production.
-4. **Incremental Adoption**: Start with key public routes and progressively add annotations to all endpoints.
+1. **Controller Classes**: Use tsoa decorators (`@Route`, `@Get`, `@Post`, `@Security`, etc.) on controller classes.
+2. **TypeScript-First**: OpenAPI specs are generated directly from TypeScript interfaces and types.
+3. **Swagger UI**: Continue using `swagger-ui-express` to serve interactive documentation at `/docs/api-docs`.
+4. **Environment Restriction**: Only expose the Swagger UI in development and test environments, not production.
+5. **BaseController Pattern**: All controllers extend a base class providing response formatting utilities.

-**Why JSDoc over separate schema files?**
+**Why tsoa over swagger-jsdoc?**
 
-- Documentation lives with the code, reducing drift
-- No separate files to maintain
-- Developers see documentation when editing routes
-- Lower learning curve for the team
+- **Type-safe contracts**: Decorators derive types directly from TypeScript, eliminating duplicate definitions
+- **Active maintenance**: tsoa has an active community and regular releases
+- **Route generation**: tsoa generates Express routes automatically, reducing boilerplate
+- **Validation integration**: Request body types serve as validation contracts
+- **Reduced duplication**: No more parallel JSDoc + TypeScript type definitions

-### JSDoc Annotation Pattern
+### Controller Pattern
 
-Each route handler should include OpenAPI annotations using the `@openapi` tag:
+Each controller extends `BaseController` and uses tsoa decorators:
 
 ```typescript

- * /health/ping:
- *   get:
- *     summary: Simple ping endpoint
- *     description: Returns a pong response to verify server is responsive
- *     tags:
- *       - Health
- *     responses:

+  }
+}
 ```
 
-### Route Documentation Priority
+### BaseController Helpers
 
-Document routes in this order of priority:
+The `BaseController` class provides standardized response formatting:
 
-1. **Health Routes** - `/api/health/*` (public, critical for operations)
-2. **Auth Routes** - `/api/auth/*` (public, essential for integration)
-3. **Gamification Routes** - `/api/achievements/*` (simple, good example)
-4. **Flyer Routes** - `/api/flyers/*` (core functionality)
-5. **User Routes** - `/api/users/*` (common CRUD patterns)
-6. **Remaining Routes** - Budget, Recipe, Admin, etc.
+```typescript
+export abstract class BaseController extends Controller {
+  // Success response with data
+  protected success<T>(data: T): SuccessResponse<T> {
+    return { success: true, data };
+  }
+
+  // Success with 201 Created status
+  protected created<T>(data: T): SuccessResponse<T> {
+    this.setStatus(201);
+    return this.success(data);
+  }
+
+  // Paginated response with metadata
+  protected paginated<T>(data: T[], pagination: PaginationInput): PaginatedResponse<T> {
+    return {
+      success: true,
+      data,
+      meta: { pagination: this.calculatePagination(pagination) },
+    };
+  }
+
+  // Message-only response
+  protected message(message: string): SuccessResponse<{ message: string }> {
+    return this.success({ message });
+  }
+
+  // No content response (204)
+  protected noContent(): void {
+    this.setStatus(204);
+  }
+
+  // Error response (prefer throwing errors instead)
+  protected error(code: string, message: string, details?: unknown): ErrorResponse {
+    return { success: false, error: { code, message, details } };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Authentication with @Security
+
+tsoa integrates with the existing passport-jwt strategy via a custom authentication module:
+
+```typescript
+// src/middleware/tsoaAuthentication.ts
+export async function expressAuthentication(
+  request: Request,
+  securityName: string,
+  _scopes?: string[],
+): Promise<UserProfile> {
+  if (securityName !== 'bearerAuth') {
+    throw new AuthenticationError(`Unknown security scheme: ${securityName}`);
+  }
+
+  const token = extractBearerToken(request);
+  const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET!);
+  const userProfile = await userRepo.findUserProfileById(decoded.user_id);
+
+  if (!userProfile) {
+    throw new AuthenticationError('User not found');
+  }
+
+  request.user = userProfile;
+  return userProfile;
+}
+```
+
+Usage in controllers:
+
+```typescript
+@Get('profile')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async getProfile(@Request() req: Express.Request): Promise<...> {
+  const user = req.user as UserProfile;
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+### DTO Organization
+
+Shared DTOs are defined in `src/dtos/common.dto.ts` to avoid duplicate type definitions across controllers:
+
+```typescript
+// src/dtos/common.dto.ts
+
+/**
+ * Address with flattened coordinates (tsoa-compatible).
+ * GeoJSONPoint uses coordinates: [number, number] which tsoa cannot handle.
+ */
+export interface AddressDto {
+  address_id: number;
+  address_line_1: string;
+  city: string;
+  province_state: string;
+  postal_code: string;
+  country: string;
+  latitude?: number | null; // Flattened from GeoJSONPoint
+  longitude?: number | null; // Flattened from GeoJSONPoint
+  // ...
+}
+
+export interface UserDto {
+  user_id: string;
+  email: string;
+  created_at: string;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+
+export interface UserProfileDto {
+  full_name?: string | null;
+  role: 'admin' | 'user';
+  points: number;
+  user: UserDto;
+  address?: AddressDto | null;
+  // ...
+}
+```
 
 ### Swagger UI Setup
 
-In `server.ts`, add the Swagger UI middleware (development/test only):
+In `server.ts`, the Swagger UI middleware serves the tsoa-generated spec:
 
 ```typescript
 import swaggerUi from 'swagger-ui-express';
-import { swaggerSpec } from './src/config/swagger';
+import tsoaSpec from './src/config/tsoa-spec.json' with { type: 'json' };
 
 // Only serve Swagger UI in non-production environments
 if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
-  app.use('/docs/api-docs', swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(swaggerSpec));
+  app.use('/docs/api-docs', swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(tsoaSpec));
 
-  // Optionally expose raw JSON spec for tooling
+  // Raw JSON spec for tooling
   app.get('/docs/api-docs.json', (_req, res) => {
     res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
-    res.send(swaggerSpec);
+    res.send(tsoaSpec);
   });
 }
 ```
 
+### Build Integration
+
+tsoa spec and route generation is integrated into the build pipeline:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "tsoa:spec": "tsoa spec",
+    "tsoa:routes": "tsoa routes",
+    "prebuild": "npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes",

-### Security Considerations
-
-1. **Production Disabled**: Swagger UI is not available in production to prevent information disclosure.
-2. **No Sensitive Data**: Never include actual secrets, tokens, or PII in example values.
-3. **Authentication Documented**: Clearly document which endpoints require authentication.

 ## API Route Tags
 
 Organize endpoints using consistent tags:
 
-| Tag          | Description                        | Routes                |
+| Tag          | Description                        | Route Prefix          |
 | ------------ | ---------------------------------- | --------------------- |
 | Health       | Server health and readiness checks | `/api/health/*`       |
 | Auth         | Authentication and authorization   | `/api/auth/*`         |

+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Production Disabled**: Swagger UI is not available in production to prevent information disclosure.
+2. **No Sensitive Data**: Never include actual secrets, tokens, or PII in example values.
+3. **Authentication Documented**: Clearly document which endpoints require authentication.
+4. **Rate Limiting**: Rate limiters are applied via `@Middlewares` decorator.
+
 ## Testing
 
 Verify API documentation is correct by:
 
 1. **Manual Review**: Navigate to `/docs/api-docs` and test each endpoint.
 2. **Spec Validation**: Use OpenAPI validators to check the generated spec.
-3. **Integration Tests**: Existing integration tests serve as implicit documentation verification.
+3. **Controller Tests**: Each controller has comprehensive test coverage (369 controller tests total).
+4. **Integration Tests**: 345 integration tests verify endpoint behavior.
 
 ## Consequences
 
 ### Positive
 
-- **Single Source of Truth**: Documentation lives with the code and stays in sync.
-- **Interactive Exploration**: Developers can try endpoints directly from the UI.
-- **SDK Generation**: OpenAPI spec enables automatic client SDK generation.
-- **Onboarding**: New developers can quickly understand the API surface.
-- **Low Overhead**: JSDoc annotations are minimal additions to existing code.
+- **Type-safe API contracts**: tsoa decorators derive types from TypeScript, eliminating duplicate definitions
+- **Single Source of Truth**: Documentation lives with the code and stays in sync
+- **Active Maintenance**: tsoa is actively maintained with regular releases
+- **Interactive Exploration**: Developers can try endpoints directly from Swagger UI
+- **SDK Generation**: OpenAPI spec enables automatic client SDK generation
+- **Reduced Boilerplate**: tsoa generates Express routes automatically
 
 ### Negative
 
-- **Maintenance Required**: Developers must update annotations when routes change.
-- **Build Dependency**: Adds `swagger-jsdoc` and `swagger-ui-express` packages.
-- **Initial Investment**: Existing routes need annotations added incrementally.
+- **Learning Curve**: Decorator-based controller pattern differs from Express handlers
+- **Generated Code**: `tsoa-generated.ts` must be regenerated when controllers change
+- **Build Step**: Adds `tsoa spec && tsoa routes` to the build pipeline
 
 ### Mitigation
 
-- Include documentation checks in code review process.
-- Start with high-priority routes and expand coverage over time.
-- Use TypeScript types to reduce documentation duplication where possible.
+- **Migration Guide**: Created comprehensive TSOA-MIGRATION-GUIDE.md for developers
+- **BaseController**: Provides familiar response helpers matching existing patterns
+- **Incremental Adoption**: Existing Express routes continue to work alongside tsoa controllers

+# ADR-059: Dependency Modernization Plan
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+**Date**: 2026-02-12
+**Implemented**: 2026-02-12
+
+## Context
+
+NPM audit and security scanning identified deprecated dependencies requiring modernization:
+
+| Dependency      | Current | Issue                   | Replacement                             |
+| --------------- | ------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `swagger-jsdoc` | 6.2.8   | Unmaintained since 2022 | `tsoa` (decorator-based OpenAPI)        |
+| `rimraf`        | 6.1.2   | Legacy cleanup utility  | Node.js `fs.rm()` (native since v14.14) |
+
+**Constraints**:
+
+- Existing `@openapi` JSDoc annotations in 20 route files
+- ADR-018 compliance (API documentation strategy)
+- Zero-downtime migration (phased approach)
+- Must maintain Express 5.x compatibility
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. swagger-jsdoc → tsoa Migration
+
+**Architecture**: tsoa controller classes + Express integration (no replacement of Express routing layer).
+
+```text
+Current:  Route Files → JSDoc Annotations → swagger-jsdoc → OpenAPI Spec
+Future:   Controller Classes → @Route/@Get decorators → tsoa → OpenAPI Spec + Route Registration
+```
+
+**Controller Pattern**: Base controller providing common utilities:
+
+```typescript
+// src/controllers/base.controller.ts
+export abstract class BaseController {
+  protected sendSuccess<T>(res: Response, data: T, status = 200) {
+    return sendSuccess(res, data, status);
+  }
+  protected sendError(
+    res: Response,
+    code: ErrorCode,
+    msg: string,
+    status: number,
+    details?: unknown,
+  ) {
+    return sendError(res, code, msg, status, details);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Express Integration Strategy**: tsoa generates routes.ts; wrap with Express middleware pipeline:
+
+```typescript
+// server.ts integration
+import { RegisterRoutes } from './src/generated/routes';
+RegisterRoutes(app); // tsoa registers routes with existing Express app
+```
+
+### 2. rimraf → fs.rm() Migration
+
+**Change**: Replace `rimraf coverage .coverage` script with Node.js native API.
+
+```json
+// package.json (before)
+"clean": "rimraf coverage .coverage"
+
+// package.json (after)
+"clean": "node -e \"import('fs/promises').then(fs => Promise.all([fs.rm('coverage', {recursive:true,force:true}), fs.rm('.coverage', {recursive:true,force:true})]))\""
+```
+
+**Alternative**: Create `scripts/clean.mjs` for maintainability:
+
+```javascript
+// scripts/clean.mjs
+import { rm } from 'fs/promises';
+await Promise.all([
+  rm('coverage', { recursive: true, force: true }),
+  rm('.coverage', { recursive: true, force: true }),
+]);
+```
+

+### Critical Path
+
+**Minimum time to completion**: Tasks 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 (or any controller) → 18 → 19 → 20 → 21 → 22 → 23 → 24
+
+**Parallelization opportunities**:
+
+- Tasks 5-14 (all controller migrations) can run in parallel after Task 4
+- Tasks 15-17 (rimraf removal) can run in parallel with controller migrations

+  },
+  "routes": {
+    "routesDir": "src/generated",
+    "middleware": "express"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Decorator Migration Example
+
+**Before** (swagger-jsdoc):
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @openapi
+ * /health/ping:
+ *   get:
+ *     summary: Simple ping endpoint
+ *     tags: [Health]
+ *     responses:
+ *       200:
+ *         description: Server is responsive
+ */
+router.get('/ping', validateRequest(emptySchema), handler);
+```
+
+**After** (tsoa):
+
+```typescript
+@Route('health')
+@Tags('Health')
+export class HealthController extends BaseController {
+  @Get('ping')
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Server is responsive')
+  public async ping(): Promise<{ message: string }> {
+    return { message: 'pong' };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Zod Integration
+
+tsoa uses its own validation. Options:
+
+1. **Replace Zod with tsoa validation** - Use `@Body`, `@Query`, `@Path` decorators with TypeScript types
+2. **Hybrid approach** - Keep Zod schemas, call `validateRequest()` within controller methods
+3. **Custom template** - Generate tsoa routes that call Zod validation middleware
+
+**Recommended**: Option 1 for new controllers; gradually migrate existing Zod schemas.
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+| Risk                                    | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation                                  |
+| --------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------- |
+| tsoa/Express 5.x incompatibility        | Medium     | High   | Test in dev container before migration      |
+| Missing OpenAPI coverage post-migration | Low        | Medium | Compare generated specs before/after        |
+| Authentication middleware integration   | Medium     | Medium | Test @Security decorator with passport-jwt  |
+| Test regression from route changes      | Low        | High   | Run full test suite after each controller   |
+| Build time increase (tsoa generation)   | Low        | Low    | Add to npm run build; cache generated files |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Type-safe API contracts**: tsoa decorators derive types from TypeScript
+- **Reduced duplication**: No more parallel JSDoc + TypeScript type definitions
+- **Modern tooling**: Active tsoa community (vs. unmaintained swagger-jsdoc)
+- **Native Node.js**: fs.rm() is built-in, no external dependency
+- **Smaller dependency tree**: Remove rimraf (5 transitive deps) + swagger-jsdoc (8 transitive deps)
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Learning curve**: Decorator-based controller pattern differs from Express handlers
+- **Migration effort**: 20 route files require conversion
+- **Generated code**: `src/generated/routes.ts` must be version-controlled or regenerated on build
+
+### Neutral
+
+- **Build step change**: Add `tsoa spec && tsoa routes` to build pipeline
+- **Testing approach**: May need to adjust test structure for controller classes
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Update swagger-jsdoc to fork/successor
+
+**Rejected**: No active fork; community has moved to tsoa, fastify-swagger, or NestJS.
+
+### 2. NestJS migration
+
+**Rejected**: Full framework migration (Express → NestJS) is disproportionate to the problem scope.
+
+### 3. fastify-swagger
+
+**Rejected**: Requires Express → Fastify migration; out of scope.
+
+### 4. Keep rimraf, accept deprecation warning
+
+**Rejected**: Native fs.rm() is trivial replacement; no reason to maintain deprecated dependency.

+**ADR**: [ADR-018](../adr/0018-api-documentation-strategy.md), [ADR-059](../adr/0059-dependency-modernization.md)
+
+All API endpoints are implemented as tsoa controller classes that extend `BaseController`. This pattern provides type-safe OpenAPI documentation generation and standardized response formatting.
+
+### Basic Controller Structure
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  Route,
+  Tags,
+  Get,
+  Post,
+  Body,
+  Path,
+  Query,
+  Security,
+  SuccessResponse,
+  Response,
+} from 'tsoa';
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+import {
+  BaseController,
+  SuccessResponse as SuccessResponseType,
+  ErrorResponse,
+} from './base.controller';
+
+interface CreateItemRequest {
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+interface ItemResponse {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  created_at: string;
+}
+
+@Route('items')
+@Tags('Items')
+export class ItemController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * Get an item by ID.
+   * @summary Get item
+   * @param id Item ID
+   */
+  @Get('{id}')
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Item retrieved')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Item not found')
+  public async getItem(@Path() id: number): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ItemResponse>> {
+    const item = await itemService.getItemById(id);
+    return this.success(item);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Create a new item. Requires authentication.
+   * @summary Create item
+   */
+  @Post()
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @SuccessResponse(201, 'Item created')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
+  public async createItem(
+    @Body() body: CreateItemRequest,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ItemResponse>> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    const item = await itemService.createItem(body, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.created(item);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### BaseController Response Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// Success response (200)
+return this.success(data);
+
+// Created response (201)
+return this.created(data);
+
+// Paginated response
+const { page, limit } = this.normalizePagination(queryPage, queryLimit);
+return this.paginated(items, { page, limit, total });
+
+// Message-only response
+return this.message('Operation completed');
+
+// No content (204)
+return this.noContent();
+```
+
+### Authentication with @Security
+
+```typescript
+import { Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
+import { requireAdminRole } from '../middleware/tsoaAuthentication';
+
+// Require authentication
+@Get('profile')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async getProfile(@Request() req: ExpressRequest): Promise<...> {
+  const user = req.user as UserProfile;
+  return this.success(user);
+}
+
+// Require admin role
+@Delete('users/{id}')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async deleteUser(@Path() id: string, @Request() req: ExpressRequest): Promise<void> {
+  requireAdminRole(req.user as UserProfile);
+  await userService.deleteUser(id);
+  return this.noContent();
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling in Controllers
+
+```typescript
+import { NotFoundError, ValidationError, ForbiddenError } from './base.controller';
+
+// Throw errors - they're handled by the global error handler
+throw new NotFoundError('Item', id); // 404
+throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid'); // 400
+throw new ForbiddenError('Admin only'); // 403
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+```typescript
+import { Middlewares } from 'tsoa';
+import { loginLimiter } from '../config/rateLimiters';
+
+@Post('login')
+@Middlewares(loginLimiter)
+@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many attempts')
+public async login(@Body() body: LoginRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Regenerating Routes
+
+After modifying controllers, regenerate the tsoa routes:
+
+```bash
+npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
+```

+## Overview
+
+### What Changed
+
+| Before (swagger-jsdoc)                   | After (tsoa)                                |
+| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| JSDoc `@openapi` comments in route files | TypeScript decorators on controller classes |
+| Manual Express route registration        | tsoa generates routes automatically         |
+| Separate Zod validation middleware       | tsoa validates from TypeScript types        |
+| OpenAPI spec from comments               | OpenAPI spec from decorators and types      |
+
+### Why tsoa?
+
+1. **Type Safety**: OpenAPI spec is generated from TypeScript types, eliminating drift
+2. **Active Maintenance**: tsoa is actively maintained (vs. unmaintained swagger-jsdoc)
+3. **Reduced Duplication**: No more parallel JSDoc + TypeScript definitions
+4. **Route Generation**: tsoa generates Express routes, reducing boilerplate
+

+  ...
+```
+
+## Creating a New Controller
+
+### Step 1: Create the Controller File
+
+```typescript
+// src/controllers/example.controller.ts
+import {
+  Route,
+  Tags,
+  Get,
+  Post,
+  Put,
+  Delete,
+  Body,
+  Path,
+  Query,
+  Request,
+  Security,
+  SuccessResponse,
+  Response,
+  Middlewares,
+} from 'tsoa';
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+import {
+  BaseController,
+  SuccessResponse as SuccessResponseType,
+  ErrorResponse,
+  PaginatedResponse,
+} from './base.controller';
+import type { UserProfile } from '../types';
+
+// ============================================================================
+// REQUEST/RESPONSE TYPES
+// ============================================================================
+
+interface CreateExampleRequest {
+  /**
+   * Name of the example item.
+   * @minLength 1
+   * @maxLength 255
+   * @example "My Example"
+   */
+  name: string;
+
+  /**
+   * Optional description.
+   * @example "This is an example item"
+   */
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+interface ExampleResponse {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+  created_at: string;
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// CONTROLLER
+// ============================================================================
+
+/**
+ * Example controller demonstrating tsoa patterns.
+ */
+@Route('examples')
+@Tags('Examples')
+export class ExampleController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * List all examples with pagination.
+   * @summary List examples
+   * @param page Page number (1-indexed)
+   * @param limit Items per page (max 100)
+   * @returns Paginated list of examples
+   */
+  @Get()
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Examples retrieved')
+  public async listExamples(
+    @Query() page?: number,
+    @Query() limit?: number,
+  ): Promise<PaginatedResponse<ExampleResponse>> {
+    const { page: p, limit: l } = this.normalizePagination(page, limit);
+
+    // Call service layer
+    const { items, total } = await exampleService.listExamples(p, l);
+
+    return this.paginated(items, { page: p, limit: l, total });
+  }
+
+  /**

+  @Get('{id}')
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Example retrieved')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Example not found')
+  public async getExample(@Path() id: number): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ExampleResponse>> {
+    const example = await exampleService.getExampleById(id);
+    return this.success(example);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Create a new example.
+   * Requires authentication.
+   * @summary Create example
+   * @param requestBody Example data
+   * @param request Express request
+   * @returns Created example
+   */
+  @Post()
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @SuccessResponse(201, 'Example created')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(400, 'Validation error')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
+  public async createExample(
+    @Body() requestBody: CreateExampleRequest,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ExampleResponse>> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    const example = await exampleService.createExample(requestBody, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.created(example);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Delete an example.
+   * Requires authentication.
+   * @summary Delete example
+   * @param id Example ID
+   * @param request Express request
+   */
+  @Delete('{id}')
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @SuccessResponse(204, 'Example deleted')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Example not found')
+  public async deleteExample(
+    @Path() id: number,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<void> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    await exampleService.deleteExample(id, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.noContent();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Regenerate Routes
+
+After creating or modifying a controller:
+
+```bash
+# Generate OpenAPI spec and routes
+npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
+
+# Or use the combined command
+npm run prebuild
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add Tests
+
+Create a test file at `src/controllers/__tests__/example.controller.test.ts`.
+
+## BaseController Pattern
+
+All controllers extend `BaseController` which provides:
+
+### Response Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// Success response (200)
+return this.success(data);
+
+// Created response (201)
+return this.created(data);
+
+// Paginated response (200 with pagination metadata)
+return this.paginated(items, { page, limit, total });
+
+// Message-only response
+return this.message('Operation completed successfully');
+
+// No content response (204)
+return this.noContent();
+
+// Error response (prefer throwing errors)
+this.setStatus(400);
+return this.error('BAD_REQUEST', 'Invalid input', details);
+```
+
+### Pagination Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// Normalize pagination with defaults and bounds
+const { page, limit } = this.normalizePagination(queryPage, queryLimit);
+// page defaults to 1, limit defaults to 20, max 100
+
+// Calculate pagination metadata
+const meta = this.calculatePagination({ page, limit, total });
+// Returns: { page, limit, total, totalPages, hasNextPage, hasPrevPage }
+```
+
+### Error Codes
+
+```typescript
+// Access standard error codes
+this.ErrorCode.VALIDATION_ERROR; // 'VALIDATION_ERROR'
+this.ErrorCode.NOT_FOUND; // 'NOT_FOUND'
+this.ErrorCode.UNAUTHORIZED; // 'UNAUTHORIZED'
+this.ErrorCode.FORBIDDEN; // 'FORBIDDEN'
+this.ErrorCode.CONFLICT; // 'CONFLICT'
+this.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST; // 'BAD_REQUEST'
+this.ErrorCode.INTERNAL_ERROR; // 'INTERNAL_ERROR'
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Using @Security Decorator
+
+```typescript
+import { Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+import type { UserProfile } from '../types';
+
+@Get('profile')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async getProfile(
+  @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+): Promise<SuccessResponseType<UserProfileDto>> {
+  // request.user is populated by tsoaAuthentication.ts
+  const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+  return this.success(toUserProfileDto(user));
+}
+```
+
+### Requiring Admin Role
+
+```typescript
+import { requireAdminRole } from '../middleware/tsoaAuthentication';
+
+@Delete('users/{id}')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async deleteUser(
+  @Path() id: string,
+  @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+): Promise<void> {
+  const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+  requireAdminRole(user); // Throws 403 if not admin
+
+  await userService.deleteUser(id);
+  return this.noContent();
+}
+```
+
+### How Authentication Works
+
+1. tsoa sees `@Security('bearerAuth')` decorator
+2. tsoa calls `expressAuthentication()` from `src/middleware/tsoaAuthentication.ts`
+3. The function extracts and validates the JWT token
+4. User profile is fetched from database and attached to `request.user`
+5. If authentication fails, an `AuthenticationError` is thrown
+
+## Request Handling
+
+### Path Parameters
+
+```typescript
+@Get('{id}')
+public async getItem(@Path() id: number): Promise<...> { ... }
+
+// Multiple path params
+@Get('{userId}/items/{itemId}')
+public async getUserItem(
+  @Path() userId: string,
+  @Path() itemId: number,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Query Parameters
+
+```typescript
+@Get()
+public async listItems(
+  @Query() page?: number,
+  @Query() limit?: number,
+  @Query() status?: 'active' | 'inactive',
+  @Query() search?: string,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Request Body
+
+```typescript
+interface CreateItemRequest {
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+@Post()
+public async createItem(
+  @Body() requestBody: CreateItemRequest,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Headers
+
+```typescript
+@Get()
+public async getWithHeader(
+  @Header('X-Custom-Header') customHeader?: string,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Accessing Express Request/Response
+
+```typescript
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+
+@Post()
+public async handleRequest(
+  @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+): Promise<...> {
+  const reqLog = request.log;          // Pino logger
+  const cookies = request.cookies;      // Cookies
+  const ip = request.ip;                // Client IP
+  const res = request.res!;             // Express response
+
+  // Set cookie
+  res.cookie('name', 'value', { httpOnly: true });
+
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Response Formatting
+
+### Standard Success Response
+
+```typescript
+// Returns: { "success": true, "data": {...} }
+return this.success({ id: 1, name: 'Item' });
+```
+
+### Created Response (201)
+
+```typescript
+// Sets status 201 and returns success response
+return this.created(newItem);
+```
+
+### Paginated Response
+
+```typescript
+// Returns: { "success": true, "data": [...], "meta": { "pagination": {...} } }
+return this.paginated(items, { page: 1, limit: 20, total: 100 });
+```
+
+### No Content (204)
+
+```typescript
+// Sets status 204 with no body
+return this.noContent();
+```
+
+### Error Response
+
+Prefer throwing errors rather than returning error responses:
+
+```typescript
+import { NotFoundError, ValidationError, ForbiddenError } from './base.controller';
+
+// Throw for not found
+throw new NotFoundError('Item', id);
+
+// Throw for validation errors
+throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid input');
+
+// Throw for forbidden
+throw new ForbiddenError('Admin access required');
+```
+
+If you need manual error response:
+
+```typescript
+this.setStatus(400);
+return this.error(this.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST, 'Invalid operation', { reason: '...' });
+```
+
+## DTOs and Type Definitions
+
+### Why DTOs?
+
+tsoa generates OpenAPI specs from TypeScript types. Some types cannot be serialized:
+
+- Tuples: `[number, number]` (e.g., GeoJSON coordinates)
+- Complex generics
+- Circular references
+
+DTOs flatten these into tsoa-compatible structures.
+
+### Shared DTOs
+
+Define shared DTOs in `src/dtos/common.dto.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// src/dtos/common.dto.ts
+
+/**
+ * Address with flattened coordinates.
+ * GeoJSONPoint uses coordinates: [number, number] which tsoa cannot handle.
+ */
+export interface AddressDto {
+  address_id: number;
+  address_line_1: string;
+  city: string;
+  province_state: string;
+  postal_code: string;
+  country: string;
+  // Flattened from GeoJSONPoint.coordinates
+  latitude?: number | null;
+  longitude?: number | null;
+  created_at: string;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+
+export interface UserDto {
+  user_id: string;
+  email: string;
+  created_at: string;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Conversion Functions
+
+Create conversion functions to map domain types to DTOs:
+
+```typescript
+// In controller file
+function toAddressDto(address: Address): AddressDto {
+  return {
+    address_id: address.address_id,
+    address_line_1: address.address_line_1,
+    city: address.city,
+    province_state: address.province_state,
+    postal_code: address.postal_code,
+    country: address.country,
+    latitude: address.location?.coordinates[1] ?? null,
+    longitude: address.location?.coordinates[0] ?? null,
+    created_at: address.created_at,
+    updated_at: address.updated_at,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Important: Avoid Duplicate Type Names
+
+tsoa requires unique type names across all controllers. If two controllers define an interface with the same name, tsoa will fail.
+
+**Solution**: Define shared types in `src/dtos/common.dto.ts` and import them.
+
+## File Uploads
+
+tsoa supports file uploads via `@UploadedFile` and `@FormField` decorators:
+
+```typescript
+import { Post, Route, UploadedFile, FormField, Security } from 'tsoa';
+import multer from 'multer';
+
+// Configure multer
+const upload = multer({
+  storage: multer.diskStorage({
+    destination: '/tmp/uploads',
+    filename: (req, file, cb) => {
+      cb(null, `${Date.now()}-${Math.round(Math.random() * 1e9)}-${file.originalname}`);
+    },
+  }),
+  limits: { fileSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024 }, // 10MB
+});
+
+@Route('flyers')
+@Tags('Flyers')
+export class FlyerController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * Upload a flyer image.
+   * @summary Upload flyer
+   * @param file The flyer image file
+   * @param storeId Associated store ID
+   * @param request Express request
+   */
+  @Post('upload')
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @Middlewares(upload.single('file'))
+  @SuccessResponse(201, 'Flyer uploaded')
+  public async uploadFlyer(
+    @UploadedFile() file: Express.Multer.File,
+    @FormField() storeId?: number,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponseType<FlyerDto>> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    const flyer = await flyerService.processUpload(file, storeId, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.created(flyer);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+Apply rate limiters using the `@Middlewares` decorator:
+
+```typescript
+import { Middlewares } from 'tsoa';
+import { loginLimiter, registerLimiter } from '../config/rateLimiters';
+
+@Post('login')
+@Middlewares(loginLimiter)
+@SuccessResponse(200, 'Login successful')
+@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many login attempts')
+public async login(@Body() body: LoginRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
+
+@Post('register')
+@Middlewares(registerLimiter)
+@SuccessResponse(201, 'User registered')
+@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many registration attempts')
+public async register(@Body() body: RegisterRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Throwing Errors
+
+Use the error classes from `base.controller.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  NotFoundError,
+  ValidationError,
+  ForbiddenError,
+  UniqueConstraintError,
+} from './base.controller';
+
+// Not found (404)
+throw new NotFoundError('User', userId);
+
+// Validation error (400)
+throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid email format');
+
+// Forbidden (403)
+throw new ForbiddenError('Admin access required');
+
+// Conflict (409) - e.g., duplicate email
+throw new UniqueConstraintError('email', 'Email already registered');
+```
+
+### Global Error Handler
+
+Errors are caught by the global error handler in `server.ts` which formats them according to ADR-028:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "NOT_FOUND",
+    "message": "User not found"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Authentication Errors
+
+The `tsoaAuthentication.ts` module throws `AuthenticationError` with appropriate HTTP status codes:
+
+- 401: Missing token, invalid token, expired token
+- 403: User lacks required role
+- 500: Server configuration error
+
+## Testing Controllers
+
+### Test File Location
+
+```
+src/controllers/__tests__/
+  example.controller.test.ts
+  auth.controller.test.ts
+  user.controller.test.ts
+  ...
+```
+
+### Test Structure
+
+```typescript
+// src/controllers/__tests__/example.controller.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest';
+import { ExampleController } from '../example.controller';
+
+// Mock dependencies
+vi.mock('../../services/exampleService', () => ({
+  exampleService: {
+    listExamples: vi.fn(),
+    getExampleById: vi.fn(),
+    createExample: vi.fn(),
+    deleteExample: vi.fn(),
+  },
+}));
+
+import { exampleService } from '../../services/exampleService';
+
+describe('ExampleController', () => {
+  let controller: ExampleController;
+
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    controller = new ExampleController();
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  describe('listExamples', () => {
+    it('should return paginated examples', async () => {
+      const mockItems = [{ id: 1, name: 'Test' }];
+      vi.mocked(exampleService.listExamples).mockResolvedValue({
+        items: mockItems,
+        total: 1,
+      });
+
+      const result = await controller.listExamples(1, 20);
+
+      expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+      expect(result.data).toEqual(mockItems);
+      expect(result.meta?.pagination).toBeDefined();
+      expect(result.meta?.pagination?.total).toBe(1);
+    });
+  });
+
+  describe('createExample', () => {
+    it('should create example and return 201', async () => {
+      const mockExample = { id: 1, name: 'New', created_at: '2026-01-01' };
+      vi.mocked(exampleService.createExample).mockResolvedValue(mockExample);
+
+      const mockRequest = {
+        user: { user: { user_id: 'user-123' } },
+      } as any;
+
+      const result = await controller.createExample({ name: 'New' }, mockRequest);
+
+      expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+      expect(result.data).toEqual(mockExample);
+      // Note: setStatus is called internally, verify with spy if needed
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Authentication
+
+```typescript
+describe('authenticated endpoints', () => {
+  it('should use user from request', async () => {
+    const mockRequest = {
+      user: {
+        user: { user_id: 'user-123', email: 'test@example.com' },
+        role: 'user',
+      },
+    } as any;
+
+    const result = await controller.getProfile(mockRequest);
+
+    expect(result.data.user.user_id).toBe('user-123');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Known Test Limitations
+
+Some test files have type errors with mock objects that are acceptable:
+
+```typescript
+// Type error: 'any' is not assignable to 'Express.Request'
+// This is acceptable in tests - the mock has the properties we need
+const mockRequest = { user: mockUser } as any;
+```
+
+These type errors do not affect test correctness. The 4603 unit tests and 345 integration tests all pass.
+
+## Build and Development
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+1. Create or modify controller
+2. Run `npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes`
+3. Run `npm run type-check` to verify
+4. Run tests
+
+### NPM Scripts
+
+```json
+{
+  "tsoa:spec": "tsoa spec",
+  "tsoa:routes": "tsoa routes",
+  "prebuild": "npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes",
+  "build": "tsc"
+}
+```
+
+### Watching for Changes
+
+Currently, tsoa routes must be regenerated manually when controllers change. Consider adding a watch script:
+
+```bash
+# In development, regenerate on save
+npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
+```
+
+### Generated Files
+
+| File                           | Regenerate When                 |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| `src/routes/tsoa-generated.ts` | Controller changes              |
+| `src/config/tsoa-spec.json`    | Controller changes, DTO changes |
+
+These files are committed to the repository for faster builds.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Duplicate identifier" Error
+
+**Problem**: tsoa fails with "Duplicate identifier" for a type.
+
+**Solution**: Move the type to `src/dtos/common.dto.ts` and import it in all controllers.
+
+### "Unable to resolve type" Error
+
+**Problem**: tsoa cannot serialize a complex type (tuples, generics).
+
+**Solution**: Create a DTO with flattened/simplified structure.
+
+```typescript
+// Before: GeoJSONPoint with coordinates: [number, number]
+// After: AddressDto with latitude, longitude as separate fields
+```
+
+### Route Not Found (404)
+
+**Problem**: New endpoint returns 404.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+1. Ensure controller file matches glob pattern: `src/controllers/**/*.controller.ts`
+2. Regenerate routes: `npm run tsoa:routes`
+3. Verify the route is in `src/routes/tsoa-generated.ts`
+
+### Authentication Not Working
+
+**Problem**: `request.user` is undefined.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+1. Ensure `@Security('bearerAuth')` decorator is on the method
+2. Verify `tsoaAuthentication.ts` is correctly configured in `tsoa.json`
+3. Check the Authorization header format: `Bearer <token>`
+
+### Type Mismatch in Tests
+
+**Problem**: TypeScript errors when mocking Express.Request.
+
+**Solution**: Use `as any` cast for mock objects in tests. This is acceptable and does not affect test correctness.
+
+```typescript
+const mockRequest = {
+  user: mockUserProfile,
+  log: mockLogger,
+} as any;
+```
+
+## Migration Lessons Learned
+
+### What Worked Well
+
+1. **BaseController Pattern**: Provides consistent response formatting and familiar helpers
+2. **Incremental Migration**: Controllers can be migrated one at a time
+3. **Type-First Design**: Defining request/response types first makes implementation clearer
+4. **Shared DTOs**: Centralizing DTOs in `common.dto.ts` prevents duplicate type errors
+
+### Challenges Encountered
+
+1. **Tuple Types**: tsoa cannot serialize TypeScript tuples. Solution: Flatten to separate fields.
+2. **Passport Integration**: OAuth callbacks use redirect-based flows that don't fit tsoa's JSON model. Solution: Keep OAuth callbacks in Express routes.
+3. **Test Type Errors**: Mock objects don't perfectly match Express types. Solution: Accept `as any` casts in tests.
+4. **Build Pipeline**: Must regenerate routes when controllers change. Solution: Add to prebuild script.
+
+### Recommendations for Future Controllers
+
+1. Start with the DTO/request/response types
+2. Use `@SuccessResponse` and `@Response` decorators for all status codes
+3. Add JSDoc comments for OpenAPI descriptions
+4. Keep controller methods thin - delegate to service layer
+5. Test controllers in isolation by mocking services

+# tsoa Controller Standards
+
+This document defines the coding standards and patterns for implementing tsoa controllers in the Flyer Crawler API.
+
+## Overview
+
+Controllers are the API layer that handles HTTP requests and responses. They use [tsoa](https://tsoa-community.github.io/docs/) decorators to define routes and generate OpenAPI specifications automatically.
+
+**Key Principles:**
+
+- Controllers handle HTTP concerns (parsing requests, formatting responses)
+- Business logic belongs in the service layer
+- All controllers extend `BaseController` for consistent response formatting
+- Response formats follow ADR-028 (API Response Standards)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { Route, Get, Post, Tags, Body, Path, Query, Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
+import {
+  BaseController,
+  SuccessResponse,
+  PaginatedResponse,
+  RequestContext,
+} from './base.controller';
+import { userService } from '../services/userService';
+import type { User, CreateUserRequest } from '../types';
+
+@Route('users')
+@Tags('Users')
+export class UsersController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * Get a user by ID.
+   * @param id The user's unique identifier
+   */
+  @Get('{id}')
+  @Security('jwt')
+  public async getUser(
+    @Path() id: string,
+    @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+    ctx.logger.info({ userId: id }, 'Fetching user');
+    const user = await userService.getUserById(id, ctx.logger);
+    return this.success(user);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * List all users with pagination.
+   */
+  @Get()
+  @Security('jwt', ['admin'])
+  public async listUsers(
+    @Query() page?: number,
+    @Query() limit?: number,
+    @Request() ctx?: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<PaginatedResponse<User>> {
+    const { page: p, limit: l } = this.normalizePagination(page, limit);
+    const { users, total } = await userService.listUsers({ page: p, limit: l }, ctx?.logger);
+    return this.paginated(users, { page: p, limit: l, total });
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Create a new user.
+   */
+  @Post()
+  @Security('jwt', ['admin'])
+  public async createUser(
+    @Body() body: CreateUserRequest,
+    @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+    const user = await userService.createUser(body, ctx.logger);
+    return this.created(user);
+  }
+}
+```
+

+├── auth.controller.ts    # Authentication endpoints
+├── users.controller.ts   # User management endpoints
+└── ...
+```
+
+## Response Format
+
+All responses follow ADR-028:
+
+### Success Response
+
+```typescript
+interface SuccessResponse<T> {
+  success: true;
+  data: T;
+  meta?: {
+    requestId?: string;
+    timestamp?: string;
+    pagination?: PaginationMeta;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Error Response
+
+```typescript
+interface ErrorResponse {
+  success: false;
+  error: {
+    code: string; // e.g., 'NOT_FOUND', 'VALIDATION_ERROR'
+    message: string; // Human-readable message
+    details?: unknown; // Additional error details
+  };
+  meta?: {
+    requestId?: string;
+    timestamp?: string;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Paginated Response
+
+```typescript
+interface PaginatedResponse<T> {
+  success: true;
+  data: T[];
+  meta: {
+    pagination: {
+      page: number;
+      limit: number;
+      total: number;
+      totalPages: number;
+      hasNextPage: boolean;
+      hasPrevPage: boolean;
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## BaseController Methods
+
+### Response Helpers
+
+| Method                               | Description                 | HTTP Status |
+| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------- | ----------- |
+| `success(data, meta?)`               | Standard success response   | 200         |
+| `created(data, meta?)`               | Resource created            | 201         |
+| `noContent()`                        | Success with no body        | 204         |
+| `paginated(data, pagination, meta?)` | Paginated list response     | 200         |
+| `message(msg)`                       | Success with just a message | 200         |
+
+### Pagination Helpers
+
+| Method                               | Description                                           |
+| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `normalizePagination(page?, limit?)` | Apply defaults and bounds (page=1, limit=20, max=100) |
+| `calculatePagination(input)`         | Calculate totalPages, hasNextPage, etc.               |
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Controllers should throw typed errors rather than constructing error responses manually:
+
+```typescript
+import { NotFoundError, ForbiddenError, ValidationError } from './base.controller';
+
+// Throw when resource not found
+throw new NotFoundError('User not found');
+
+// Throw when access denied
+throw new ForbiddenError('Cannot access this resource');
+
+// Throw for validation errors (from Zod)
+throw new ValidationError(zodError.issues);
+```
+
+The global error handler converts these to proper HTTP responses.
+
+## tsoa Decorators
+
+### Route Decorators
+
+| Decorator                                              | Description                               |
+| ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `@Route('path')`                                       | Base path for all endpoints in controller |
+| `@Tags('TagName')`                                     | OpenAPI tag for grouping                  |
+| `@Get()`, `@Post()`, `@Put()`, `@Patch()`, `@Delete()` | HTTP methods                              |
+| `@Security('jwt')`                                     | Require authentication                    |
+| `@Security('jwt', ['admin'])`                          | Require specific roles                    |
+
+### Parameter Decorators
+
+| Decorator    | Description            | Example                               |
+| ------------ | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `@Path()`    | URL path parameter     | `@Path() id: string`                  |
+| `@Query()`   | Query string parameter | `@Query() search?: string`            |
+| `@Body()`    | Request body           | `@Body() data: CreateUserRequest`     |
+| `@Header()`  | Request header         | `@Header('X-Custom') custom?: string` |
+| `@Request()` | Full request context   | `@Request() ctx: RequestContext`      |
+
+### Response Decorators
+
+| Decorator                                    | Description                      |
+| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `@Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Not Found')` | Document possible error response |
+| `@SuccessResponse(201, 'Created')`           | Document success response        |
+
+## RequestContext
+
+The `RequestContext` interface provides access to request-scoped resources:
+
+```typescript
+interface RequestContext {
+  logger: Logger; // Request-scoped Pino logger (ADR-004)
+  requestId: string; // Unique request ID for correlation
+  user?: AuthenticatedUser; // Authenticated user (from JWT)
+  dbClient?: PoolClient; // Database client for transactions
+}
+
+interface AuthenticatedUser {
+  userId: string;
+  email: string;
+  roles?: string[];
+}
+```
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+### Controller Class Names
+
+- PascalCase with `Controller` suffix
+- Example: `UsersController`, `HealthController`, `AuthController`
+
+### Method Names
+
+- camelCase, describing the action
+- Use verbs: `getUser`, `listUsers`, `createUser`, `updateUser`, `deleteUser`
+
+### File Names
+
+- kebab-case with `.controller.ts` suffix
+- Example: `users.controller.ts`, `health.controller.ts`
+
+## Service Layer Integration
+
+Controllers delegate to the service layer for business logic:
+
+```typescript
+@Route('flyers')
+@Tags('Flyers')
+export class FlyersController extends BaseController {
+  @Get('{id}')
+  public async getFlyer(
+    @Path() id: number,
+    @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponse<Flyer>> {
+    // Service handles business logic and database access
+    const flyer = await flyerService.getFlyerById(id, ctx.logger);
+    // Controller only formats the response
+    return this.success(flyer);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. Never access repositories directly from controllers
+2. Always pass the logger to service methods
+3. Let services throw domain errors (NotFoundError, etc.)
+4. Controllers catch and transform errors only when needed
+
+## Validation
+
+tsoa performs automatic validation based on TypeScript types. For complex validation, define request types:
+
+```typescript
+// In types.ts or a dedicated types file
+interface CreateUserRequest {
+  /**
+   * User's email address
+   * @format email
+   */
+  email: string;
+
+  /**
+   * User's password
+   * @minLength 8
+   */
+  password: string;
+
+  /**
+   * Full name (optional)
+   */
+  fullName?: string;
+}
+
+// In controller
+@Post()
+public async createUser(@Body() body: CreateUserRequest): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+  // body is already validated by tsoa
+  return this.created(await userService.createUser(body));
+}
+```
+
+For additional runtime validation (e.g., database constraints), use Zod in the service layer.
+
+## Error Handling Examples
+
+### Not Found
+
+```typescript
+@Get('{id}')
+public async getUser(@Path() id: string): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+  const user = await userService.findUserById(id);
+  if (!user) {
+    throw new NotFoundError(`User with ID ${id} not found`);
+  }
+  return this.success(user);
+}
+```
+
+### Authorization
+
+```typescript
+@Delete('{id}')
+@Security('jwt')
+public async deleteUser(
+  @Path() id: string,
+  @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+): Promise<void> {
+  // Only allow users to delete their own account (or admins)
+  if (ctx.user?.userId !== id && !ctx.user?.roles?.includes('admin')) {
+    throw new ForbiddenError('Cannot delete another user account');
+  }
+  await userService.deleteUser(id, ctx.logger);
+  return this.noContent();
+}
+```
+
+### Conflict (Duplicate)
+
+```typescript
+@Post()
+public async createUser(@Body() body: CreateUserRequest): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+  try {
+    const user = await userService.createUser(body);
+    return this.created(user);
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (error instanceof UniqueConstraintError) {
+      this.setStatus(409);
+      throw error; // Let error handler format the response
+    }
+    throw error;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Controllers
+
+Controllers should be tested via integration tests that verify the full HTTP request/response cycle:
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import request from 'supertest';
+import { app } from '../app';
+
+describe('UsersController', () => {
+  describe('GET /api/v1/users/:id', () => {
+    it('should return user when found', async () => {
+      const response = await request(app)
+        .get('/api/v1/users/123')
+        .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${validToken}`)
+        .expect(200);
+
+      expect(response.body).toEqual({
+        success: true,
+        data: expect.objectContaining({
+          user_id: '123',
+        }),
+      });
+    });
+
+    it('should return 404 when user not found', async () => {
+      const response = await request(app)
+        .get('/api/v1/users/nonexistent')
+        .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${validToken}`)
+        .expect(404);
+
+      expect(response.body).toEqual({
+        success: false,
+        error: {
+          code: 'NOT_FOUND',
+          message: expect.any(String),
+        },
+      });
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Migration from Express Routes
+
+When migrating existing Express routes to tsoa controllers:
+
+1. Create the controller class extending `BaseController`
+2. Add route decorators matching existing paths
+3. Move request handling logic (keep business logic in services)
+4. Replace `sendSuccess`/`sendError` with `this.success()`/throwing errors
+5. Update tests to use the new paths
+6. Remove the old Express route file
