+# S18 implementation validation
+
+Validated on 2026-11-03 against the confirmed S18 specification.
+
+## Automated checks
+
+- JDK 25 `mvn clean verify`: passed, 52 backend tests and 19 standards-tool
+  regression tests, with no failures or skipped tests.
+- Clean backend line coverage: 1175/1215 lines, 96.70781893004116%, above the
+  exact 80% gate. No handwritten-code exclusions were introduced.
+- Frontend `npm test`: 24 tests across six files passed.
+- Frontend production build and ESLint: passed.
+- Playwright with the real REST backend: all three scenarios passed, covering school management,
+  shared memberships, automatic scheduling, manual draft editing and finalization,
+  a coach accompanying preschoolers across dates, and connection-error recovery.
+
+Focused solver tests cover showcase bookends (including extra showcases), single
+and absent showcases, changing gaps, coach exemptions, infeasibility, the strict
+priority of showcase attendance over balance, and style/age scores. Lifecycle
+and HTTP tests cover skipped empty groups, first-show-date ages, retained x after
+daypart removal, atomic structural validation, invalid drafts, final status
+invalidation, stale solver results, timeout preservation, coach identity links,
+and ordered JSON round trips including version-2 migration.
+
+## Manual standards assessment
+
+The standards report passes without new waivers. Retained review signals were
+assessed against `CODING_STANDARDS.md` and `docs/backend-review.md`:
+
+- `GroupRequirement`, `SchedulingInput`, `Performance` and `ShowView` carry six
+  or seven related snapshot/API values. Collections are defensively copied;
+  coach identity and group membership use IDs across the solver boundary.
+  The larger record shapes make the scheduling contract explicit. Other added
+  records are small. `OrderedAssignments` deliberately owns mutable OR-Tools
+  variables and arrays internally during one solve; it is not an API snapshot.
+- `ScheduleRules` has cyclomatic signals for independent configuration checks
+  and showcase cases. Each rule family is isolated in a short method and shared
+  between finalization and solver-result validation.
+- `ShowSchedules` retains branching for nullable initial settings, retained x,
+  and structural draft validation. It stages complete replacement lists before
+  mutation and uses the existing aggregate lock. It separates schedule lifecycle
+  from the already broad `SchoolManagementService` aggregate owner.
+- The aggregate owner's fan-out and public-method signals are retained for its
+  repository and transaction ownership. Scheduling-input preparation, coach
+  identity operations, lifecycle rules and scoring reside in separate focused
+  classes. Its new revision operation invalidates final status as well as pending
+  solver results.
+- `SchoolSnapshot` retains orchestration size, fan-out and cognitive signals for
+  validating and reconstructing an entire graph. Import resolves coach/dancer
+  links explicitly, retains order, rejects unknown references, accepts invalid
+  assignment drafts and resets imported final status. Graph construction remains
+  staged before repository mutation.
+- REST resource fan-out is mainly endpoint annotations, request/view types and
+  domain/service collaborators. OR-Tools stays inside the solver package.
+  `SchedulingInputs` uses domain types to produce one immutable solver snapshot.
+- `OrToolsSchedulingEngine` retains a length/cognitive signal for the ordered
+  optimization stages and their feasible/optimal/timeout outcomes. Keeping the
+  incumbent and freezing only proven optima preserves strict objective priority
+  and valid results within one total deadline.
+- Solver objective helpers retain five-parameter review signals where a model,
+  variables, group pair and objective coefficient are needed. Replacing those
+  with additional transient wrapper types would obscure the constraint mapping.
+  Common adjacency penalties are algebraically removed without changing scores.
+- Test fan-out and scenario length signals reflect full HTTP/import/concurrency
+  workflows. Shared fixture setup is extracted where it aids readability; every
+  executable remains within the blocking limits.
+
+Public behavior is documented in `show-scheduling-rules.md`, the README and the
+school JSON format reference. No new standards waiver, threshold change or
+analysis exclusion is required.

+# Show scheduling rules
+
+A show is the complete event, including every dated daypart. It may span several
+calendar dates. Counts do not restart on a new date.
+
+## Required performances
+
+The manager chooses **x**, the desired number of distinct dayparts, per show.
+It defaults to two, or one for a show with only one daypart. A show can be saved
+without dayparts but cannot be scheduled. If dayparts are removed, x is retained
+and must be corrected before scheduling when it exceeds the remaining count.
+
+Every nonempty regular, selection and pre-education group performs in exactly x
+dayparts, once in each. Each preschool group performs exactly once in the whole
+show. Every showcase performs once in every daypart. Groups without dancers are
+skipped completely, including for showcase positions and balancing.
+
+With at least two showcases, one opens and another closes every daypart. Any
+additional showcases may appear between them. The opening and closing groups can
+change between dayparts. A single showcase may open or close, but never performs
+twice in the same daypart. Without showcases there is no opening/closing rule.
+
+## People and changing clothes
+
+An ordinary dancer must perform in no more than x distinct dayparts across all
+of their groups. The same dancer registration must be used in every group.
+
+Showcase participants necessarily perform in every daypart. For their other
+performances, exceeding x dayparts is allowed but discouraged. We count their
+non-showcase dayparts, subtract x, and count only positive excesses. The planner's
+first preference is to minimize the sum of these excesses across dancers.
+
+A coach registration must be explicitly linked to the corresponding dancer;
+names are not used to guess identity. Coaches are available throughout the show
+and are exempt from both the x limit and the excess penalty. A coach only performs
+with a group if included in its dancer membership. Being a group's coach alone
+never adds a performance or forces that group into extra dayparts.
+
+Between any two performances involving the same person, at least two other
+performances must intervene in which that person does not dance. This includes
+coaches accompanying preschoolers, coaches dancing in other groups, and showcases.
+There are no exceptions. Between dayparts we assume sufficient changing time,
+so the gap rule restarts even if the dayparts are on the same date.
+
+## Balance and preferences
+
+All performances count equally, including preschool groups and showcases. The
+busiest daypart may have at most two more performances than the quietest. Zero
+is ideal. Preschool groups can cause a difference but have no special exemption.
+
+Among schedules satisfying every mandatory rule, optimize in this strict order:
+
+1. Minimize non-showcase daypart excess for showcase participants, excluding coaches.
+2. Minimize the difference in performance counts between dayparts.
+3. Minimize similarity of consecutive performances within each daypart.
+
+A lower priority cannot worsen a higher priority. OR-Tools solves these objectives
+in sequence, fixing each proven optimum before working on the next. If it finds
+only a feasible result at a priority, it returns that valid result without
+claiming that the complete schedule is optimal.
+
+For variety, style similarity is the fraction of shared styles among all distinct
+styles of the two groups. Two groups without styles have no style penalty.
+Age similarity is one for equal average ages, falling linearly to zero at a
+five-year difference and remaining zero above that difference. Style and age
+have equal weight. Each component is rounded to millionths for CP-SAT's integer
+objective. Showcases count in this comparison. Average age includes every dancing
+member equally, including coaches, measured in completed years on the first date
+of the show. Empty groups are already excluded.
+
+## Results, drafts and final schedules
+
+Scheduling can take up to thirty minutes in total across the optimization stages.
+A feasible result is accepted even when optimality is unproven. Every mandatory
+rule still applies. Proven infeasibility and reaching the time limit without a
+result are reported differently. Failures preserve the saved assignments and
+order. Concurrent runs are rejected and changed inputs invalidate pending results.
+
+Automatic results are drafts for manager review. Managers can also move, add,
+remove and reorder performances manually and save incomplete or invalid drafts.
+The application lists the rules those drafts violate. An explicit finalization
+action checks all mandatory rules; only a valid schedule can become final.
+Preferences alone never block finalization.
+
+Manual edits and relevant membership, dancer-age, coach-link or show-setting
+changes return final schedules to draft. Existing schedules and imported schedules
+are drafts. Import retains assignment order and recalculates violations. Export
+is available for both statuses and records status, x and coach identity links;
+reimport always requires a fresh finalization.

+# S18 — Scheduling dance groups across a show
+
+Status: IN_REVIEW
+
+As a dance school manager,
+I want OR-Tools to schedule groups and order performances using participation,
+changing-time and variety rules,
+so that the complete show is manageable for dancers and enjoyable for audiences.
+
+Refinement confirmed by the maintainer on 2026-11-03. This specification records
+the agreed design. Implementation and validation are complete and ready for review.
+See [validation evidence](../../docs/s18-validation.md) and
+[the applied scheduling rules](../../show-scheduling-rules.md).
+
+## Show scope and configuration
+
+- A show consists of dayparts and can span multiple dates, typically two days.
+  All counts below apply across the entire show, not separately per date.
+- Each show has one configurable integer `x`, between 1 and the number of
+  dayparts inclusive. Its default is 2, or 1 for a one-daypart show.
+- This replaces the existing configurable appearance counts per group type.
+- A show without dayparts can be stored but cannot be scheduled.
+- If reducing the number of dayparts makes `x` invalid, require the user to
+  correct it before scheduling again; do not silently change it.
+- Groups without dancers are excluded from scheduling and from all performance
+  counts and showcase-position requirements.
+
+## Required group appearances
+
+- Each nonempty REGULAR, SELECTION and PRE_EDUCATION group performs in exactly
+  `x` distinct dayparts, once within each selected daypart.
+- Each nonempty PRE_SCHOOLER group performs exactly once in the complete show,
+  regardless of `x`. At most two such groups are expected. They can be assigned
+  freely to dayparts; no additional placement restriction applies.
+- Each nonempty SHOW_CASE group performs exactly once in every daypart.
+- With at least two showcase groups, each daypart starts with one showcase and
+  ends with another. Additional showcases can appear anywhere between them.
+  Opening and closing groups may differ between dayparts.
+- With exactly one showcase group, it appears either first or last in each
+  daypart; the planner chooses. It does not perform twice in that daypart.
+- With no showcase groups, there is no showcase-position requirement.
+
+## Dancer participation and coaches
+
+- A dancer without a showcase membership performs in at most `x` distinct
+  dayparts across the complete show. This is a hard constraint.
+- A showcase participant necessarily performs in all dayparts. Their other
+  group performances may span more than `x` dayparts, but this is undesirable.
+- For each non-coach showcase participant, count the distinct dayparts in which
+  they perform outside showcases. Their excess is `max(0, count - x)`.
+  Minimize the sum of these excesses as the first optimization priority.
+- A person dancing in several groups must use the same dancer registration in
+  every group, including when accompanying preschoolers. Up to five group
+  memberships per dancer are expected.
+- Explicitly link a coach registration to the corresponding dancer registration;
+  never infer identity from matching names. Support maintaining this link.
+- Coaches are available in all dayparts and are excluded from both the hard
+  dancer limit and the excess penalty, including coaches in showcases.
+- Being assigned as a group's coach does not automatically mean performing in
+  that group. Actual performances are determined by dancer membership only.
+  Coach availability never increases a group's required appearances.
+- Dancing coaches remain subject to changing-time rules and contribute to the
+  group's average age just like other dancing members.
+
+## Changing time and feasibility
+
+- Between any two performances involving the same dancer within a daypart,
+  there must be at least two intervening performances not involving that dancer.
+- This is mandatory for everyone, including coaches and showcase participants.
+- The rule restarts at each daypart boundary. Assume enough changing time
+  between dayparts, including on the same date.
+- All hard constraints apply together, even for unusual membership combinations
+  such as a person dancing in both preschool and ordinary groups. Do not relax
+  a rule to obtain a result.
+
+## Balance and optimization priorities
+
+- Count all scheduled performances, including preschool and showcase groups.
+- The difference between the largest and smallest daypart performance counts
+  must not exceed two. This is a hard constraint.
+- Prefer a difference of zero. Preschool groups are an expected cause of
+  differences but have no special exemption or exclusive right to cause them.
+- Optimize valid schedules in this strict priority order:
+  1. Minimize the total excess for non-coach showcase participants defined above.
+  2. Minimize the difference between largest and smallest daypart counts.
+  3. Improve style and age variety between consecutive performances within
+     each daypart.
+- A lower priority must not worsen a higher priority. Showcases participate in
+  variety scoring as well.
+
+## Variety scoring
+
+- For adjacent groups, the style penalty is the number of shared styles divided
+  by the number of distinct styles in their combined style sets. No shared
+  styles gives zero penalty; two empty style sets also give zero penalty.
+- Compute dancer ages on the first date of the show. All dancers in a group,
+  including dancing coaches, contribute equally to its average age.
+- The age penalty decreases linearly from 1 for equal average ages to 0 for a
+  difference of five years; differences greater than five years also score 0.
+  Equivalently: `max(0, 1 - abs(meanAgeA - meanAgeB) / 5)`.
+- Style and age penalties have equal weight. Minimize their combined penalties
+  over adjacent performances. Empty groups have already been excluded.
+
+## Solver execution and failure
+
+- Retain a maximum solver runtime of thirty minutes.
+- Accept a feasible result without proof of optimality, provided every hard
+  constraint holds. Distinguish feasibility from proven optimality.
+- If no valid result is found, preserve the existing assignments and order.
+- Explain whether infeasibility was proven or the time limit expired without
+  a valid result; do not report a timeout as proof of infeasibility.
+- Retain existing protections against concurrent scheduling and applying stale
+  results after relevant data changes.
+
+## Manual editing and schedule lifecycle
+
+- Add UI and API support for moving performances between dayparts and changing
+  their order. Partial or temporarily invalid assignments can be saved as drafts.
+- Distinguish draft and final schedules explicitly. Display concrete violations
+  for invalid drafts; do not present them as valid final schedules.
+- Add an explicit finalization action that checks all hard rules and permits
+  finalization only when they all pass. Optimization preferences do not block it.
+- Automatically generated valid schedules also start as drafts for manager review.
+- Manual changes to a final schedule return it to draft. Changes to relevant
+  dancer memberships, coach identity links or show settings likewise invalidate
+  final status when they affect scheduling rules.
+- Treat existing schedules as drafts when introducing this lifecycle.
+- JSON import preserves assignments and order but makes imported schedules
+  drafts and validates them against the new rules.
+- JSON export remains available for drafts and finals and preserves status.
+  Import still produces a draft even when the exported status was final.
+- Include the new configuration and coach identity information in persistence
+  and school JSON round trips so scheduling semantics survive saving and import.
+
+## Documentation and validation
+
+- Provide `show-scheduling-rules.md` describing the rules applied by OR-Tools in
+  plain English, including hard constraints, exceptions, optimization priorities,
+  scoring, cross-date scope and failure behavior.
+- Validate automatic results and finalization using the same agreed rules.
+- Verification must cover ordinary, preschool and showcase appearances; coach
+  identity and exemptions; overlapping memberships; changing gaps; balance;
+  optimization priority and scoring; multi-date shows; empty groups; invalid
+  configuration; infeasible and timed-out runs; manual drafts/finalization; and
+  persistence/import/export of the new information.
