🎯 Key Decisions & Rationale​

1. THORAPI-First Architecture​

Decision: All models codegen-ready
Rationale:

  • 0 manual repository code needed
  • Future-proof for microservices
  • Automatic client generation
  • Consistent with ValkyrAI ecosystem

2. Async Fulfillment via ExecModule​

Decision: Use ValkyrAI workflow engine
Rationale:

  • Integrates with existing workflow system
  • Supports async + scheduled execution
  • Composable with email, SMS, etc.
  • Monitoring via workflow dashboard

3. Encrypted Token at Rest​

Decision: Use x-thorapi-secureField on downloadToken
Rationale:

  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • Automatic decryption by AspectJ
  • Secure token storage
  • Compliance with security requirements

4. Soft-Delete on Revocation​

Decision: Keep revokedAt + revokedReason instead of hard delete
Rationale:

  • Audit trail preservation
  • Supports refund/chargeback scenarios
  • No data loss
  • Compliance friendly

5. Composition via UUID​

Decision: Link models via UUID references
Rationale:

  • Loose coupling between models
  • Supports lazy loading
  • Enables multi-tenant queries
  • THORAPI golden rule compliance
