Training Records & Operator Validation Suite (41 tests)

  • TrainingRecord model fields, computed status, and expiration logic
  • GMP, SOP, and equipment-specific training checks
  • Operator validation: advisory warnings on production start (non-blocking)
  • Route authentication and tier-gating verification
  • Training Matrix and per-operator history views
  • CSV export with correct headers and audit logging
  • CAPA reporting dashboard with charts and metrics

Yield Anomaly Detection Suite (41 tests)

  • Statistical thresholds: 1.5σ warning, 2.5σ critical, 85% yield floor
  • Historical statistics calculation and minimum run requirements
  • Idempotency guard prevents duplicate anomaly reports per run
  • Suspect lot cross-referencing with date cutoff and row limits
  • Float precision verification (no integer truncation on yield data)
  • AI Copilot tool integration and context processor registration

XSS Security Guard (4 strict checks)

  • Backtick template literal detection in innerHTML assignments
  • Template interpolation (${...}) scanning near innerHTML
  • Double-escaping detection on HTML helper variables
  • _esc() and _safeLink() sanitization function existence
  • Broader codebase informational scan for innerHTML risks

Recall Simulation Drill Suite (16 tests)

  • Full six-stage recall lifecycle: Initiation → Forward Trace → Impact Assessment → Notification → Containment → Closure
  • HMAC v1, v2, and v3 cryptographic integrity: canonical string structure, version-routed verification, and signer-identity binding
  • Tamper-evident PDF export validation: backward trace SHA-256, signature block, and drill metadata
  • Cross-tenant IDOR rejection: owner-scoping enforced on all recall drill endpoints
  • Fail-closed signing: unsigned or malformed reports blocked from export
  • FSMA 204-aligned lot forward and backward traceability chain verification

Tamper-Evident Hash Chain

Every audit record is cryptographically linked to the previous record, forming an unbroken chain that detects any modification or deletion of historical entries.

  • SHA-256 chain hash: previous_hash || record_id || operation || timestamp
  • Integrity verification function validates the entire chain on demand
  • Any gap or modification in the chain is immediately detectable
  • Append-only design: no update or delete operations on audit records

Comprehensive Record Capture

Every audit entry captures the full context an auditor needs: who made the change, when, what changed, and why.

  • Who: User ID, IP address, user agent, confirmed-by name
  • When: UTC timestamp with database-level precision
  • What: Before/after state snapshots (JSON) for every field change
  • Why: Operation type, reason field, and originating subsystem (UI vs. AI agent)

Electronic Signature Controls

21 CFR Part 11-aligned electronic signature implementation with password re-authentication.

Re-Authentication

  • Password re-entry required for regulated actions
  • COA approval, production completion, CAPA closure
  • Failed re-authentication attempts logged to audit trail

Cryptographic Binding

  • HMAC-SHA256 binds signatures to specific records
  • Tamper detection with integrity verification
  • Signature meaning captured (approval, verification, review)

Fail-Closed Design

  • Atomic e-signature staging on all 14 AI write actions
  • Transaction rolls back if signature persistence fails
  • Legacy signature migration support with tamper detection

Data Integrity & Tenant Isolation

ALCOA-aligned data integrity principles with strict multi-tenant partitioning.

Data Integrity Controls

  • Attributable: Every record linked to a specific user with full identity context
  • Legible: Before/after snapshots stored as structured JSON for clear reading
  • Contemporaneous: UTC timestamps applied at write time, not user-supplied
  • Original: Append-only audit records with no update or delete capability
  • Accurate: Database CHECK constraints and Numeric types for financial precision
  • Production ingredient traceability: Ingredient → Batch → Supplier → COA chain

Multi-Tenant Isolation

  • Tenant ID partitioning: Every row scoped by owner/tenant identifier
  • Centralized query filtering: All database queries enforced through ORM-level scoping
  • Cross-tenant validation: Automated tests verify rejection of unauthorized record linkage
  • Team workspace segregation: Permission-based sharing with access controls
  • Server-side redaction: Data filtered before reaching the client, not relying on UI-only hiding
  • Regression tested: CAPA cross-tenant linkage tests run on every release

AI Copilot Safety Controls

Human-in-the-loop confirmation, audit-logged actions, and role-based access for all AI-driven operations.

Human Confirmation Required

  • All 14 agentic write actions require explicit user confirmation
  • Preview of proposed changes displayed before execution
  • No automatic data modifications without human approval

Risk-Tiered Thresholds

  • Three confidence tiers: 0.65 (low risk), 0.72 (medium), 0.85 (high risk)
  • High-stakes actions (production, lot release) require password re-auth
  • Pop-before-write idempotency prevents duplicate database commits

Full Action Audit Trail

  • AI-proposed actions logged as first-class audit entries
  • Originating subsystem recorded (UI vs. AI agent)
  • Complete traceability: prompt → proposal → confirmation → execution
