Completes local-dev-master-slave-setup: dual-instance frontend tooling, module-capability gating, and master/slave protocol self-healing fixes

Frontend (Unit 2 completion): dual dev-server tooling (pnpm dev:slave,
pnpm dev:all), per-instance browser tab titles, and a backend
capability check (SystemController + useSystemCapabilities +
ModuleGuard) so a Master-only page is hidden on a slave instance
instead of assuming every backend has every module.

Master/slave protocol fixes surfaced by actually running master and
slave side by side locally:
- Deactivating a CMS instance (Inactive) now releases the slave's
  master gate instead of leaving it stuck on its last pushed status.
- The periodic integrity check now also re-pushes status to every
  reachable slave (previously URL-verification only) and runs once
  immediately on startup.
- Added the originally-specified (but never implemented) slave-pull
  path: a slave now periodically polls its own status from the master
  (GET /api/v1/SlaveStatus) and fails open to Available if the master
  is unreachable for too long, complementing the existing push.
- The slave's own Settings page can no longer "successfully" change
  local availability while the master controls it; it's now locked
  with an explanatory banner and the backend rejects the write with
  409 instead of silently no-op'ing it.
- CMS instance status badges now match the dashboard's color/icon
  styling instead of a plain grey badge.

Also corrected the master-cms-module design docs to match this
as-built behavior, and flagged (without a full rewrite) a larger,
pre-existing divergence between its inception-stage application
design and what construction actually built.

+## Build and Test — Fix Requested (Slave Connection String)
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Ik denk dat de connectionstring niet goed is voor de Slave CMS. Maak van de appsettings.local.json.example een implementatie van de appsettings.local.json met dezelfde credentials, maar zijn eigen database"
+
+**AI Response**: "Created the real (gitignored) src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave/appsettings.local.json, mirroring the master's credentials (Server=127.0.0.1,1433;User ID=sa;...) with Database=SlpModularCmsSlave instead of SlpModularCms. Verified via git check-ignore it's untracked. Ran the slave with --no-build: it successfully connected to the local SQL Server, created the SlpModularCmsSlave database, and applied EF Core migrations — confirming the connection string now works (this environment does have a reachable local SQL Server at 127.0.0.1:1433, contrary to the earlier Build and Test assumption). Attempted to also run master simultaneously to redo the full end-to-end connectivity scenario, but hit 'address already in use' on both :7221 and :7222 from leftover dotnet run child processes surviving earlier timeout-wrapped manual test invocations in this session — a session artifact, not a code defect. Did not force-kill processes broadly per sandbox safety controls; flagged for the user to clear stray processes before their own manual verification. Updated Unit 1's code summary with these findings."
+
+**Context**: Connection string issue resolved and verified via actual DB/migration success. Full simultaneous master+slave connectivity test still pending due to a leftover-process port conflict in this session, not a code issue.
+
+---
+
+## Port Conflict — Resolved
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "ik heb mijn processen afgesloten. jij mag jouwe afsluiten"
+
+**AI Response**: "Checked via Get-CimInstance for any SlpModularCms-named processes (none found) and via Get-NetTCPConnection for ports 7221/7222/5284/5285 (none listening) — no leftover processes remain on either side; ports are free."

+**Context**: Environment clean. Ready for the user to perform their own manual end-to-end master+slave connectivity verification whenever convenient.

+## Migration Status Check — Gap Found and Fixed
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Zijn de nodige migraties gemaakt en zijn beide databases up-to-date?"
+
+**AI Response**: "Checked all DbContext/startup-project combinations via 'dotnet ef migrations list' (read-only). Master DB (SlpModularCms) fully up to date across ApplicationDbContext (Core/Identity), AvailabilityDbContext, and MasterDbContext. Slave DB (SlpModularCmsSlave) had AvailabilityDbContext applied (auto-migrated on startup) but ApplicationDbContext (Core/Identity) had 2 pending migrations — Core's Identity migrations are never auto-applied (only Availability and Master modules call Database.Migrate() in UseModule), and nobody had run the manual dotnet ef database update for the new slave DB yet. Fixed by running 'dotnet ef database update --project src/SlpModularCms.Core --startup-project src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave --context ApplicationDbContext' — both migrations now applied, verified via a follow-up migrations list showing no pending entries. Added this exact command to the README runbook so it isn't missed again in the future. Updated Unit 1's code summary with the full before/after migration status table."
+
+**Context**: Both databases now confirmed fully up to date across all applicable DbContexts. Runbook documentation updated to prevent recurrence.

+## Fix — CMS Page Wrongly Visible on Slave
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "De front-end van de Slave toont nog steeds de CMS-pagina. Deze is dus alleen voor de Master. De CMS-en zonder de Master-module mogen die pagina niet zien"
+
+**AI Response**: "Dispatched an Explore subagent to map how /cms visibility currently works — found it was gated purely by Owner role (router.tsx cmsRoute, Sidebar.tsx NAV_ITEMS), with zero awareness of whether the connected backend actually has Modules.Master loaded (never an issue before this feature, since every instance always had it). Implemented a backend capability check: ModuleOrchestrator.ModuleNames property, new SystemController exposing GET /api/v1/System/capabilities, orchestrator registered as a DI singleton in both Program.cs files. Frontend: useSystemCapabilities hook, new ModuleGuard component (mirrors RoleGuard), applied to both the /cms route and the Sidebar nav item requiring the 'Master' module. Added MSW mock handler (defaults to including Master, so existing tests are unaffected) and i18n strings. Verified: dotnet build/test all pass (193/193); pnpm build succeeds; pnpm test 210/210 in isolation (one pre-existing flaky test in the full run, unrelated). Live-verified against actually running master and slave instances — curled the new endpoint directly: master returns ['Availability','Identity','Master'], slave returns ['Availability','Identity'] only. Cleaned up the two verification processes by their specific PIDs afterward. Documented in a new master-only-cms-page-fix.md under Unit 2's code folder."
+
+**Context**: Genuine functional gap surfaced by this feature (frontend had no way to know backend module composition) now fixed and verified end-to-end, not just conceptually.

+
+## Fix — CMS Instance Status Badge Styling & Master-Gate Status Not Reflected on Slave
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "1: De badge die getoond wordt op de CMS-pagina toont beschikbaar in grijs in plaats van in groen en zonder icoontje. Laat die badge hetzelfde werken als op de availability op de dashboard. Inactive mag wel grijs zijn. 2: Als ik de status van een slave verander gebeurd er niks en er wordt ook geen call gedaan naar de slave om de status te veranderen. Was dit niet wat er was afgesproken dat er zou gebeuren als de master de status veranderd? Als ik naar de slave ga blijft die Beschikbaar ongeacht of de master hem heeft ingesteld op Niet beschikbaar. Ook na refresh en re-login"
+
+**AI Response**: "Fix 1 (badge styling): frontend/src/components/cms/CmsInstanceList.tsx used a plain shadcn Badge (variant-based, no color/icon for Available) instead of the colored-pill + icon pattern used by AvailabilityStatusBadge on the dashboard. Replaced it with the same visual pattern: green+CheckCircle for Available, red+XCircle for NotAvailable, grey+MinusCircle for Inactive (as requested, Inactive stays grey). Fix 2 (master status not reaching slave dashboard): confirmed CmsInstanceService.UpdateStatusAsync (Modules.Master) does correctly call SlaveClient.PushStatusAsync, which does reach MasterController/MasterAvailabilityService.PushStatusAsync (Modules.Availability) on the slave and updates its in-memory MasterGateStatus. However, that master-gate status was only ever consulted by AvailabilityMiddleware to gate/503 *other* API calls — the dashboard's own availability badge queries GET /api/v1/Availability/status, which is deliberately bypassed by the middleware (so admins can still log in and see the app) and is backed by PersistentAvailabilityService, which never looked at the master gate at all. So the push from master WAS working, but its effect was invisible on the slave's own dashboard. Fixed by injecting IMasterAvailabilityService into PersistentAvailabilityService and having GetStatusDetailsAsync() return NotAvailable + the master's disableMessage whenever the master gate reports unavailable, falling back to the locally persisted status otherwise. Added a regression test (GetStatusDetailsAsync_ShouldReturnNotAvailable_WhenMasterGateDisabled) and updated two existing test call sites for the new constructor parameter. Verified: dotnet test on Modules.Availability.Tests — 61/61 pass; pnpm build succeeds; pnpm test — 210/210 pass (no flaky failures this run)."
+
+**Context**: Fix 2 was a real functional gap in the master/slave feature's core promise (this feature exists specifically to let the master's status changes be observable on the slave) — not a new capability, but completing what 'master pushes status to slave' was always supposed to mean end-to-end.
+
+---
+
+## Feature — Combined `pnpm dev:all` Script for Frontend
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Kan je voor de front-end een script toevoegen waarmee ik in 1x master en slave kan opstarten. Beetje zoals ik in Rider de Compound configuratie heb"
+
+**AI Response**: "Added 'dev:all' script to frontend/package.json using the new 'concurrently' devDependency: runs 'pnpm dev' (master, :5173) and 'pnpm dev:slave' (slave, :5174) in parallel in one terminal, each line prefixed and colored (blue/magenta) so output stays distinguishable — analogous to a Rider Compound run configuration. Ctrl+C stops both. Verified by actually running 'pnpm dev:all' for ~10s: both Vite dev servers started correctly on their expected ports with correctly labeled/colored output. Updated README with the new command under 'Frontend starten'."
+
+**Context**: Pure dev-ergonomics addition, no behavior change to the app itself.

+
+## Bug Report — Slave Shows Available After Restart Despite Master Having Disabled It
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Als ik de master en slave opnieuw opstart dan zegt de slave dat hij beschikbaar is terwijl de master aangeeft dat die onbeschikbaar zou moeten zijn. Hoe komt dat?"
+
+**AI Response**: "Root cause: the slave's master-gate status (MasterAvailabilityService._masterIsAvailable / _masterDisableMessage) is held in static in-memory fields only — never persisted — defaulting to available=true on every process start. The master's CmsInstance.Status IS correctly persisted in its own DB, but nothing re-pushes that persisted status to the slave on startup; a push only happens when an admin explicitly changes status via the UI (CmsInstanceService.UpdateStatusAsync). The existing periodic IntegrityCheckBackgroundService (default: every 60 minutes) only re-verifies/re-registers the slave's registered master URL in VerifyIntegrityAsync — it never re-pushed status, so even the periodic reconciliation wouldn't have caught this within a reasonable time. Fixed both halves: (1) CmsInstanceService.VerifyIntegrityAsync now also re-pushes the master's persisted status (SlaveClient.PushStatusAsync) to every active slave on each integrity check, so a slave that resets to 'available' on restart gets corrected; (2) IntegrityCheckBackgroundService.ExecuteAsync now runs one check immediately on startup instead of waiting for the first PeriodicTimer tick, so this resync happens right after the master (re)starts rather than up to 60 minutes later. Added a regression test (VerifyIntegrityAsync_RePushesPersistedStatus_ToResyncSlaveAfterRestart). Verified: dotnet test on Modules.Master.Tests — 43/43 pass (was 42)."
+
+**Context**: This is the same underlying gap as the earlier CMS-badge/master-gate fix (in-memory state on the slave not being kept in sync with the master's persisted intent), surfacing again specifically around process restarts rather than live status pushes.
+
+---
+
+## Question — Refresh Tokens Overwritten Between Master and Slave Frontends
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Ik kan niet op beide systemen ingelogd zijn. De refresh tokens wordne overschreven. Is dat iets vanwege het lokaal draaien? [...] ik gok dat dat aan de hand van domein is wat lokaal allebei localhost is, klopt dat?"
+
+**AI Response**: "Confirmed the user's hypothesis. AuthController.GetCookieOptions() sets the refreshToken cookie without an explicit Domain, so it's host-scoped to whichever host issued it — but per RFC 6265, cookies are never port-scoped, only domain+path. Master (localhost:7221) and slave (localhost:7222) both set 'refreshToken' for domain 'localhost', path '/api/v1/auth' — identical cookie key, so the last login always overwrites the other. In production this isn't an issue since each CMS instance has its own real domain (properly separated by the browser's cookie jar); this is purely a local-dev artifact of both instances happening to share the 'localhost' hostname. Offered two workarounds (hosts-file entries like master.local/slave.local for a production-like separation, or simply using separate browser profiles/incognito for master vs slave) without recommending any code change, since this isn't a defect."
+
+**Context**: User confirmed the incognito-workaround is sufficient; no code change made. Not a bug — purely local-dev cookie-domain behavior, explicitly ruled out as something to fix in the app.
+
+---
+
+## Fix — Slave Stuck on Last Pushed Status After Master Sets It to Inactive
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Wat ik wel zie is dat de slave op 'Niet Beschikbaar' blijft staan als ik hem in de Master van 'Niet beschikbaar' naar 'Inactief zet'. Als de Master de Slave niet meer beheert moet de Slave gewoon weer Beschikbaar worden. Zat er niet al een systeem in dat Slave bij Master kijkt wat de status is? Daar zouden we het bij kunnen zetten. Ik weet ook niet of dat een periodieke check is?"
+
+**AI Response**: "Confirmed there is no slave-polls-master mechanism at all — the master/slave protocol is entirely push-based from the master side (explicit status pushes on UpdateStatusAsync, plus the periodic IntegrityCheckBackgroundService discussed in the prior fix). Root cause of this specific report: CmsInstanceService.UpdateStatusAsync had an early-return for CmsInstanceStatus.Inactive that skipped SlaveClient.PushStatusAsync entirely ('master no longer manages this slave' was implemented as 'do nothing'), so the slave kept whatever gate state (e.g. NotAvailable) it was last pushed, forever — and since VerifyIntegrityAsync's periodic resync only iterates GetActiveAsync() (which excludes Inactive instances), it would never self-correct either. Fixed by having the Inactive branch explicitly push isAvailable=true, disableMessage=null to the slave — releasing the master gate — before returning, mirroring the same release-on-deactivation logic. Updated the existing UpdateStatusAsync_DoesNotPushToSlave_WhenStatusIsInactive test (renamed/inverted to UpdateStatusAsync_ReleasesMasterGate_WhenStatusIsInactive) and added UpdateStatusAsync_ReturnsSlaveContactFalse_WhenReleasingMasterGateFails. Verified: dotnet test on Modules.Master.Tests — 44/44 pass (was 43)."
+
+**Context**: Third fix in this feature's 'slave in-memory master-gate state must stay in sync with the master's actual intent' theme — this one specifically for the deactivation/detach path, which had simply never pushed anything to the slave at all.
+
+---
+
+## Feature — Slave Pull-Based Status Polling with Fail-Open
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "volgens mij was het idee dat de slave ook af en toe bij de master vroef wat de status is zodat lokaal niet de boel zomaar kan worden aangepast en dat de slave af en toe een refreh doet van de status. ook weer om dit soort issues tegen te gaan. Als de master te lang onbeschikbaar is of gewoon niet reageert moet de slave beschikbaar worden zodat het een fail-open is"
+
+**AI Response**: "Dispatched an Explore subagent to check whether this was ever actually specified. Confirmed: the original master-cms-module inception requirements (FR-MASTER-06 'Slave Pull Model: Periodic Master Check', FR-MASTER-07 'Slave Fallback Behavior', NFR-MASTER-01 'Fail-Open Safety') explicitly called for a slave-initiated periodic pull with fail-open, but the later construction-phase design silently switched to a push-only model (master calls slave), keeping only the in-memory fail-open *default* (true on process start) rather than an active reconciling pull. Implemented the originally-specified pull side to complement (not replace) the existing push: (1) new master-side GET /api/v1/SlaveStatus endpoint (SlaveStatusController + ICmsInstanceService.GetStatusForApiKeyAsync), authenticated by matching the caller's plain API key against each active CmsInstance's decrypted key — added to AvailabilityMiddleware's bypass list so it's always reachable regardless of the master's own local status; (2) slave-side MasterStatusPollingBackgroundService (Modules.Availability), polling on a configurable interval (MasterPollingOptions, default 30s / 15s in dev) via new IMasterStatusPollClient, applying successful results through new IMasterAvailabilityService methods (GetPollTargetAsync, ApplyPolledStatusAsync); (3) fail-open: RecordPollFailureAsync forces the gate back to Available if the master has been unreachable for longer than FailOpenAfterMinutes (default 5min / 2min in dev), measured from MasterRegistration.LastPolledAt (new persisted field, new EF migration AddLastPolledAtToMasterRegistration, applied to both master and slave DBs). The existing push mechanism is untouched and still fires instantly on explicit status changes; polling is the self-healing safety net for everything push can miss (restarts, dropped pushes, local tampering). Verified: dotnet test across the whole solution — 216/216 pass (75 Availability + 50 Master + 54 Core + 37 Identity). Live smoke-tested by starting both master and slave: confirmed the new background service starts without crashing the host, correctly detects a connection failure (mismatched port in this quick ad-hoc run, not a code issue) and handles it gracefully through the fail-open path rather than an unhandled exception."
+
+**Context**: This closes a real design regression: the pull+fail-open behavior was part of the original spec but got dropped during construction without anyone flagging it, and its absence was the root cause behind several of today's earlier reports (slave stuck on stale status after restart, after deactivation). Push and pull now both exist and complement each other.
+
+---
+
+## Fix — Slave Settings Silently Accepted (and 'Succeeded') Local Availability Changes While Master-Controlled
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "Als de Slave op 'Niet beschikbaar' is gezet door de master en je probeert in de instellingen van de slave het systeem op beschikbaar te zetten dan krijg je wel een succesmelding. dat moet een adere mrlding worden, maar eigenlijk moet je helemaal de beschikbaarheid niet moeten kunnen veranderen in de instellingen en je moet daar dan een melding zien waarom"
+
+**AI Response**: "Root cause: PersistentAvailabilityService.UpdateStatusAsync always wrote the requested status to the local DB unconditionally, while GetStatusDetailsAsync (fixed earlier today) displays the master-gate status whenever the master has disabled the instance — so a local admin's 'Available' write was accepted and even reported as a DB update, but instantly invisible/overridden on the very same GET that renders the Settings page, giving a false success toast for a change that had no observable effect. Fixed by rejecting the change outright instead of silently no-op'ing it: (1) new MasterControlledAvailabilityException (Core.Availability), thrown by PersistentAvailabilityService.UpdateStatusAsync when IMasterAvailabilityService.GetMasterStatus().IsAvailable is false, before touching the DB; (2) AvailabilityController.UpdateStatus catches it and returns 409 Conflict with a ProblemDetails body; (3) AvailabilityStatusDetails gained an IsMasterControlled flag (true whenever GetStatusDetailsAsync short-circuits on the master gate), now included in GET /api/v1/Availability/status; (4) frontend SettingsPage.tsx reads availability.isMasterControlled and disables the mode buttons, the reason textarea, and the save button, showing a locked-state banner explaining that the Master CMS controls this status; a 409 from the mutation (e.g. a race where master disables it mid-edit) shows a specific 'Master CMS controls this status' toast instead of the generic error. Verified: dotnet test — 219/219 pass across the solution (78 Availability, up from 75); pnpm build succeeds; pnpm test — 213/213 pass (up from 210, 3 new SettingsPage tests covering the locked banner, the unlocked default state, and the 409 toast)."
+
+**Context**: Same root theme as the day's earlier fixes (slave-side local state must never silently diverge from the master's actual intent) — this time the gap was a misleading UI: an operation appeared to succeed while being fully overridden, which is worse than an operation that visibly fails.
+
+---
+
+## Final Verification — README Addition + Full AI-DLC Documentation Cross-Check
+
+**Timestamp**: 2026-07-04T00:00:00Z
+
+**User Input**: "ja zet het erbij en check alles ook tegenover de aidlc documentatie" (following "Volgens mij werkt alles nu zoals verwacht. Doe nog 1 check of functionaliteit overeenkomt met de documentatie en of de tests slagen" and a prior note that the master-controlled-lock UI wasn't mentioned in the README)
+
+**AI Response**: "Added a README section documenting the master-controlled Settings lock (banner, disabled controls, 409 on a bypass attempt, IsMasterControlled field). Then cross-checked the actual master/slave protocol documentation in aidlc-docs/features/master-cms-module/ (the feature that originally built the protocol this session's fixes touched) against the real as-built code — full details logged in that feature's own audit.md, since the corrections landed in its docs, not this feature's. Summary: found and fixed several actively-contradicted statements about Inactive-transition push behavior, VerifyIntegrityAsync's scope, and the master-gate cache's 'no expiry' claim; added new rule-set/flow sections for the slave-pull and master-controlled-lock mechanisms; flagged (via banners, not full rewrite) a larger pre-existing divergence between inception-stage application-design docs and what construction actually built, unrelated to today's changes. Also caught and fixed a real (if minor) config-consistency gap of my own: the new MasterPolling section had only been added to appsettings.Development.json, not the base appsettings.json for either Api or Api.Slave — added there too for both. Re-ran the full solution build + test suite after all changes: 219/219 backend, 213/213 frontend, all green."
+
+**Context**: Closing verification pass for today's whole run of fixes (badge styling, master-controlled availability, slave restart resync, Inactive gate release, slave-pull/fail-open, master-controlled settings lock) — confirms the implementation, its tests, and its documentation are now mutually consistent.

+- **Status**: ⚠️ Partial — the scenario this feature actually changes (module isolation) is fully verified; the scenario exercising the pre-existing, unmodified master/slave protocol requires manual follow-up.
+
+### Performance Tests
+- **Status**: N/A — this feature is local developer tooling with no performance requirements (NFR-3, local-only scope).
+
+### Additional Tests
+- **Contract Tests**: N/A — no API contracts changed
+- **Security Tests**: N/A — no new attack surface; `appsettings.local.json` secrets-hygiene pattern (NFR-4) followed and verified via `git check-ignore`
+- **E2E Tests**: See Integration Tests Scenario 2 above
+
+## Overall Status
+- **Build**: ✅ Success
+- **All Automated Tests**: ✅ Pass (193/193)
+- **Manual Follow-up Required**: Yes — developer should run the end-to-end connection test (root `README.md`, "Lokaal Master + Slave Draaien (Dev)") at least once with a real local SQL Server to confirm the full workflow before relying on it.
+- **Ready for Operations**: Yes (Operations is a placeholder for this project; no deployment/monitoring work applicable to local dev tooling)
+
+## Next Steps
+- Developer runs the manual end-to-end verification (Scenario 2) locally to close out the one remaining unverified item.
+- Feature is otherwise complete: `SlpModularCms.Api.Slave` exists and correctly excludes the Master module, `SlpModularCms.Core.Hosting` avoids code duplication between the two hosts, frontend tooling and documentation are in place.

+# Build Instructions — Local Dev Master/Slave Setup
+
+## Prerequisites
+- **Build Tool**: .NET 10 SDK
+- **Dependencies**: NuGet packages restore automatically on build (no new external dependencies introduced by this feature)
+- **Environment Variables**: None required to build (runtime config is via `appsettings.local.json`, see below)
+- **System Requirements**: Same as the rest of the repository — no new system requirements
+
+## Build Steps
+
+### 1. Restore & Build
+```powershell
+dotnet build SlpModularCms.sln
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Build Success
+- **Expected Output**: `Build succeeded.` with 0 errors (NuGet advisory warnings for `Microsoft.OpenApi` and a few `NU1510`/prune warnings are pre-existing and unrelated to this feature).
+- **Build Artifacts**: `src/SlpModularCms.Api/bin/`, `src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave/bin/` (new), plus all existing project outputs.
+- **Common Warnings**: NU1903 (Microsoft.OpenApi advisory) and NU1510 (package pruning) appear across multiple projects — pre-existing, not introduced by this feature.
+
+### Actual Result (this session)
+Ran `dotnet build SlpModularCms.sln` — **Build succeeded**, 0 errors.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails with `CS0246` in `SlpModularCms.Core/Hosting/*.cs`
+- **Cause**: `SlpModularCms.Core` is a plain `Microsoft.NET.Sdk` project (not `Sdk.Web`), so ASP.NET Core implicit usings (`Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection`, `Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration`, `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder`, `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http`) aren't automatically available like they are in `SlpModularCms.Api`.
+- **Solution**: Already fixed during Code Generation — explicit `using` statements were added to `ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs`. If this recurs after further edits, add the missing explicit `using`.
+
+### `SlpModularCms.Api.Slave` fails to start with a SQL connection error
+- **Cause**: Missing `src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave/appsettings.local.json` (gitignored, must be created locally per developer).
+- **Solution**: Copy `appsettings.local.json.example` to `appsettings.local.json` and fill in your local SQL Server credentials, using a **different** `Database=` name than the master instance (e.g. `SlpModularCmsSlave`).

+# Integration Test Instructions — Local Dev Master/Slave Setup
+
+## Purpose
+
+Verify that the two backend instances (Unit 1) and frontend tooling (Unit 2) work together correctly: the slave instance genuinely excludes the Master module, and the existing master↔slave connection mechanism (unchanged by this feature) can be exercised end-to-end using the two local instances.
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: Module isolation — Slave excludes Master, Master keeps all modules
+
+**Description**: Confirm `SlpModularCms.Api.Slave`'s `ModuleOrchestrator` never discovers `Modules.Master`, while `SlpModularCms.Api` is unaffected.
+
+**Setup**: None beyond a successful build (no database required — module discovery happens before any DB access).
+
+**Test Steps** (already executed in this session):
+```powershell
+dotnet run --project src/SlpModularCms.Api --launch-profile https --no-build
+dotnet run --project src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave --launch-profile https --no-build
+```
+
+**Expected Results**:
+- Master log output: `Module ontdekt: Availability`, `Module ontdekt: Identity`, `Module ontdekt: Master`, `3 modules succesvol geladen.`
+- Slave log output: `Module ontdekt: Availability`, `Module ontdekt: Identity`, `2 modules succesvol geladen.` — **no** `Master` line.
+
+**Actual Result**: ✅ **Passed** — confirmed exactly as expected in this session's console output (see Unit 1 code generation summary).
+
+**Cleanup**: Stop both processes (Ctrl+C / process termination).
+
+### Scenario 2: End-to-end master/slave connection via the existing "Add CMS Instance" flow
+
+**Description**: With both instances running against separate local databases, use the master frontend's existing "Add CMS Instance" dialog to register the local slave and confirm the connection is established (per FR-4 and the runbook in root `README.md`).
+
+**Setup**:
+1. A local SQL Server instance reachable from both backends (e.g. via the `podman run ... mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server` command in root `README.md`).
+2. `src/SlpModularCms.Api/appsettings.local.json` (master) and `src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave/appsettings.local.json` (slave, from `appsettings.local.json.example`) pointing at **different** database names on that SQL Server.
+3. Master and slave backends running (`dotnet run --project src/SlpModularCms.Api --launch-profile https` and `dotnet run --project src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave --launch-profile https`).
+4. Master frontend running (`pnpm dev` in `frontend/`), logged in as an Owner.
+
+**Test Steps**:
+1. Navigate to the `/cms` page on the master frontend.
+2. Use "Add CMS Instance" with URL `https://localhost:7222` (the local slave).
+3. Observe the instance's status in the UI.
+
+**Expected Results**: The instance appears in the list and its status reflects a successful connection (per the existing, unchanged `CmsInstanceService`/`SlaveApiClient` ↔ `MasterController` protocol documented in root `README.md`'s "Master CMS Module" section).
+
+**Actual Result**: ⚠️ **Not run in this session** — this sandboxed environment has no accessible container runtime (`docker`/`podman` both unavailable), so no local SQL Server instance could be provisioned to run either backend past module discovery. **This step requires manual execution by the developer** following the runbook in root `README.md` ("Lokaal Master + Slave Draaien (Dev)"). Scenario 1 (module isolation, which does not require a database) was fully verified automatically and is the aspect this feature actually changes — Scenario 2 exercises the pre-existing, unmodified master/slave protocol and primarily validates that the new run configuration (ports, separate databases, CORS) doesn't get in the way of it.
+
+**Cleanup**: Remove the CMS instance registration if desired; stop both backends and frontends; stop the SQL Server container if it was started solely for this test.
+
+## Notes
+
+- No automated integration test suite was added for Scenario 2 — it's an inherently manual, cross-process, cross-database verification of local developer tooling, not a candidate for CI automation (per NFR-3, this feature is explicitly local-only in scope).

+# Unit Test Execution — Local Dev Master/Slave Setup
+
+## Run Unit Tests
+
+### 1. Execute All Unit Tests
+```powershell
+dotnet test SlpModularCms.sln
+```
+
+### 2. Review Test Results
+- **Expected**: All existing test suites pass unchanged — this feature adds no new business logic, so no new unit tests were written (per Unit of Work Q3 = A).
+- **Test Coverage**: Unchanged from before this feature (the relocated `ModuleOrchestrator`/`ApiPrefixConvention` classes retain their existing test coverage, now in `SlpModularCms.Core.Tests/Hosting/` instead of `SlpModularCms.Modules.Identity.Tests/Infrastructure/`).
+- **Test Report Location**: Console output from `dotnet test`; no separate report file generated by default.
+
+### Actual Result (this session)
+Ran `dotnet test SlpModularCms.sln`:
+
+| Test Project | Passed | Failed | Skipped |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `SlpModularCms.Core.Tests` (incl. relocated `Hosting` tests) | 54 | 0 | 0 |

+| `SlpModularCms.Modules.Master.Tests` | 42 | 0 | 0 |
+| **Total** | **193** | **0** | **0** |
+
+No regressions from relocating `ModuleOrchestrator`, `ServiceCollectionExtensions`, and `ApiPrefixConvention` into `SlpModularCms.Core`, or from moving their tests into `Core.Tests`.

 - Full end-to-end run (requiring a real local SQL Server/localdb instance and manual "Add CMS Instance" registration) is deferred to Build and Test / Unit 2, per the plan.
+
+## Follow-up: Real `appsettings.local.json` for the Slave (user request)
+
+The user reported the slave's connection string looked wrong and asked for a real `src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave/appsettings.local.json` (gitignored, mirroring `src/SlpModularCms.Api/appsettings.local.json`'s credentials but with its own database). Created with `Database=SlpModularCmsSlave` (vs. master's `SlpModularCms`), same `Server=127.0.0.1,1433;User ID=sa;Password=...` credentials and same `JwtSettings.Secret`. Verified via `git check-ignore` that it's not tracked.
+
+**Verified working**: running `dotnet run --launch-profile https --no-build` in `SlpModularCms.Api.Slave` with this file present successfully connected to the local SQL Server, created the `SlpModularCmsSlave` database, and applied EF Core migrations (`CREATE DATABASE`, `__EFMigrationsHistory` setup, migration application) — confirming the connection string is correct. This environment does have a reachable SQL Server at `127.0.0.1:1433`, unlike assumed earlier in Build and Test.
+
+**Known issue hit during this verification, not related to the fix**: a subsequent attempt to run both master and slave simultaneously hit `Failed to bind to address ... address already in use` on both `:7221` and `:7222` — leftover `dotnet run` child processes from earlier manual verification steps in this session likely survived their parent `timeout` calls and are still holding those ports. This is a session/environment artifact, not a defect in the generated code. Resolved: user closed their own processes and confirmed via `Get-CimInstance`/`Get-NetTCPConnection` that no `SlpModularCms` processes or listeners remained on ports 7221/7222/5284/5285.
+
+## Follow-up: Slave Database Migration Gap (discovered while checking migration status)
+
+User asked whether the necessary migrations exist and both databases are up to date. Checked via `dotnet ef migrations list` for every `DbContext`/startup-project combination:
+
+| Database | Context | Status before fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| `SlpModularCms` (master) | `ApplicationDbContext` (Core/Identity) | ✅ Applied (2/2) |
+| `SlpModularCms` (master) | `AvailabilityDbContext` | ✅ Applied (1/1) |
+| `SlpModularCms` (master) | `MasterDbContext` | ✅ Applied (1/1) |
+| `SlpModularCmsSlave` (slave) | `AvailabilityDbContext` | ✅ Applied (1/1) — auto-migrated via `Database.Migrate()` in `AvailabilityModule.UseModule` |
+| `SlpModularCmsSlave` (slave) | `ApplicationDbContext` (Core/Identity) | ❌ **2 migrations pending** — `SlpModularCms.Core`'s `ApplicationDbContext` is never auto-migrated (only `Modules.Availability` and `Modules.Master` call `Database.Migrate()` in their `UseModule`); it always requires the manual `dotnet ef database update` step documented in root `README.md`, and nobody had run it yet for the new slave database.
+
+**Fixed**: ran `dotnet ef database update --project src/SlpModularCms.Core --startup-project src/SlpModularCms.Api.Slave --context ApplicationDbContext`. Re-checked with `migrations list` — both `20260612191736_InitialCreate` and `20260619130625_AddsDisplayName` now show as applied (no `(Pending)` marker). Slave database is now fully up to date.
+
+**Documentation fix**: added a note + the exact command to the "Lokaal Master + Slave Draaien (Dev)" runbook in root `README.md`, right after the slave-startup instructions, so this doesn't get missed again by whoever (re)creates the slave database.

+# Fix — CMS Page Was Visible on Slave (No Backend Capability Check)
+
+## Problem
+
+The `/cms` page (managing registered CMS instances — an Owner-only feature backed by `SlpModularCms.Modules.Master`) was gated purely by role (`Owner`), with no awareness of whether the *connected backend* actually has the Master module loaded. Before this feature, this was never an issue — every deployed instance always had `Modules.Master` loaded. Now that a Master-less slave instance exists, an Owner using the frontend against the slave could still see the nav link and open `/cms`, where its data calls (`GET /api/v1/CmsInstances`) would 404 against a backend that has no such controller.
+
+## Fix
+
+### Backend
+- `SlpModularCms.Core.Hosting.ModuleOrchestrator` — added `ModuleNames` (public `IReadOnlyList<string>`), listing the names of modules actually discovered on this instance.
+- New `SlpModularCms.Core.Hosting.SystemController` — `GET /api/v1/System/capabilities` returns `{ "modules": [...] }` for whichever instance is asked.
+- `SlpModularCms.Api/Program.cs` and `SlpModularCms.Api.Slave/Program.cs` — registered the `ModuleOrchestrator` instance itself as a DI singleton (`builder.Services.AddSingleton(orchestrator)`) so the new controller can inject it.
+
+### Frontend
+- `src/api/types.ts` — added `SystemCapabilities { modules: string[] }`.
+- `src/api/useSystemCapabilities.ts` — new React Query hook (`staleTime: Infinity` — a backend's module set never changes mid-session), calling `/api/v1/System/capabilities`.
+- `src/components/auth/ModuleGuard.tsx` — new guard component (mirrors `RoleGuard`), hides its children and shows a "not available on this instance" message when the required module isn't in the backend's capability list.
+- `src/router.tsx` — `/cms` route now wraps its page in `<ModuleGuard requiredModule="Master">` (inside the existing `<RoleGuard allowedRoles={['Owner']}>`).
+- `src/components/layout/Sidebar.tsx` — the CMS nav item now also requires `capabilities.modules.includes('Master')` before rendering.
+- `src/i18n/locales/{nl,en}/translation.json` — added `errors.featureUnavailableTitle` / `errors.featureUnavailable`.
+- `src/mocks/system/handlers.ts` — new MSW handler for `*/System/capabilities`, defaulting to `['Availability', 'Identity', 'Master']` so existing CMS-related tests keep passing unchanged; registered in `src/mocks/index.ts`.
+- `src/components/layout/Sidebar.test.tsx` — updated the "Owner sees ... CMS" assertion to `findByTestId` (now async, since nav-cms visibility depends on the capabilities fetch), and added a new regression test: "Owner does not see CMS when the backend has no Master module (slave instance)".
+
+## Verification Performed
+
+- `dotnet build` / `dotnet test` — succeed; all 193 backend tests still pass (module relocation from the earlier fix is untouched; this only adds new code).
+- `pnpm build` — succeeds, no type errors.
+- `pnpm test` — 210/210 pass in isolation (209/210 in the full parallel run; the 1 failure is the same pre-existing flaky `AddCmsInstanceDialog.test.tsx` timeout seen earlier in this feature's Build and Test, unrelated to this change — confirmed passing 5/5 when re-run alone).
+- **Live verification against real running instances**: started both `SlpModularCms.Api` (master) and `SlpModularCms.Api.Slave` against the local SQL Server and curled the new endpoint directly:
+  - Master: `curl https://localhost:7221/api/v1/System/capabilities` → `{"modules":["Availability","Identity","Master"]}`
+  - Slave: `curl https://localhost:7222/api/v1/System/capabilities` → `{"modules":["Availability","Identity"]}`
+  - Confirms the capability check reflects each instance's actual loaded modules, not just a hardcoded assumption.

+# Code Generation Summary — Unit 2: Frontend Dual-Instance Tooling & Runbook
+
+## Created
+
+- `frontend/.env.slave.local` — `VITE_API_BASE_URL=https://localhost:7222`, `VITE_APP_TITLE=SlpModularCms (Slave)` (gitignored via existing `frontend/.gitignore` `*.local` pattern, verified via `git check-ignore`)
+- `aidlc-docs/features/local-dev-master-slave-setup/construction/unit-2-frontend-dual-instance-tooling/code/summary.md` (this file)
+
+## Modified
+
+- `frontend/.env.example` — added a documented block explaining how to create `.env.slave.local` and use `pnpm dev:slave`, and how `VITE_APP_TITLE` distinguishes tabs
+- `frontend/.env.local` (developer's existing local file, gitignored) — added `VITE_APP_TITLE=SlpModularCms (Master)` for symmetry with the slave
+- `frontend/package.json` — added `"dev:slave": "vite --mode slave --port 5174"` script
+- `frontend/src/vite-env.d.ts` — added optional `VITE_APP_TITLE` to the typed env interface
+- `frontend/src/lib/config.ts` — added `appTitle` to `AppConfig`, sourced from `VITE_APP_TITLE` with a `'SlpModularCms'` fallback when unset
+- `frontend/src/main.tsx` — sets `document.title` from `getAppConfig().appTitle` at startup, so each instance's browser tab is recognizable
+- `README.md` (root) — added new section **"Lokaal Master + Slave Draaien (Dev)"** after "Master CMS Module", covering: starting both backends, starting the frontend against either instance, and using the existing "Add CMS Instance" dialog to connect them
+
+## Notes
+
+- No new tests — this unit is env/config/documentation only, no testable logic.
+- `pnpm dev:slave` uses Vite's `--mode slave` flag, which loads `.env.slave.local` in addition to the default `.env`/`.env.local` files; `--port 5174` overrides `vite.config.ts`'s default port (5173) for this invocation only.
+- **Added after initial Build and Test review** (user request): distinguishable browser tab titles per instance via `VITE_APP_TITLE`, defaulting to `"SlpModularCms"` so existing setups without the var keep today's title unchanged.
+- Full end-to-end verification (starting both backends with real local databases, running both frontends, and confirming the "Add CMS Instance" flow actually connects them) is performed in Build and Test, since it requires a running local SQL Server instance that isn't available in this automated environment.
+
+## Verification Performed (Tab Title Change)
+
+- `pnpm build` (tsc -b + vite build) — succeeds, no type errors.
+- `pnpm test` — 208/209 pass; the 1 failure (`AddCmsInstanceDialog.test.tsx`, a findByTestId timeout) reproduced as flaky under this session's load and passed 5/5 when re-run in isolation — unrelated to the title change (no title-related assertions, and `main.tsx` is not exercised by component tests).
