Three seams WP-71 documented but left unguarded.
Deletes the FE's isHerregistratieEligible and isStatusConsistent — both
uncalled, the first dead by its own doc-comment. Their tests used fixtures
completely disjoint from the backend's (the backend even had an exact-window
boundary case the FE lacked), so the two sides could diverge indefinitely
without failing anything. CLAUDE.md's policy of keeping server-owned rules
as FE "reference impls" is what kept them alive, so it is amended: the FE may
mirror a server-supplied value for instant feedback, never reimplement the
algorithm. registration.policy.ts keeps its three live exports.
check-seam.sh now also guards the Besluit tag list — the C# enum and the TS
BESLUIT_TAGS array are identical ordered name lists with nothing linking
them, and Enum.TryParse fails at request time rather than build time. Anchored
on the full declaration so it avoids the "greps all matches" trap WP-69 hit.
The phone-format divergence turned out to be real, not latent as recorded:
the backend returned 422 for +31612345678 and (06) 12345678, both of which
the FE's own parseTelefoonnummer accepts. A grep check would have compared
the shared ^0\d{9}$ regex and reported all clear — the difference was in
stripping. RejectPhoneChange now strips what the FE strips, pinned by a
contract test.

BIG-register BFF (ASP.NET Core)
The backend that hosts the business rules for the BIG-register portal. The
frontend renders the decisions this service computes; it does not recompute them
(BFF-lite + decision DTOs — see ../docs/reference/architecture/0001-bff-lite-decision-dtos.md).
No real BRP/DUO: the reference data they'd return (registration, person, diplomas,
notes — Data/SeedData.cs) is in-memory and seeded, but the endpoints, DTOs,
status codes and error envelope are production-shaped.
Applications, documents and the brief persist to a SQLite file
(src/BigRegister.Api/bigregister.db, EF Core-backed — Data/AppDbContext.cs,
Data/Db.cs) created and migrated on first run; restarting the process (or
docker compose restart api — the existing ./backend:/src bind mount already
covers it, see docker-compose.yml) does not lose data. Delete the file to
reset demo data back to empty, the same state a fresh clone starts from. This is
a deliberate, right-sized choice for a POC (SQLite, no external DB service) — see
docs/project/backlog/WP-22-durable-persistence.md.
Run
Everything (docker-compose, from repo root)
docker compose up
- App: http://localhost:4200
- Swagger UI: http://localhost:5000/swagger
Backend only (local)
cd backend
dotnet run --project src/BigRegister.Api
# → http://localhost:5000/swagger
Frontend against a local backend
npm start # ng serve, proxies /api → http://localhost:5000 (proxy.conf.json)
Tests
cd backend && dotnet test # rule unit tests + endpoint integration tests
API
| Method | Route | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /api/dashboard-view |
registration + person + computed herregistratie decision |
| GET | /api/notes |
specialisms / aantekeningen |
| GET | /api/brp/address |
BRP address lookup (gevonden:false = no address) |
| GET | /api/duo/diplomas |
diplomas with derived profession + applicable policy questions, + manual fallback |
| GET | /api/intake/policy |
scholing threshold (config value) |
| POST | /api/registrations |
submit registration → reference, or 422 (manual diploma) |
Rejections use ProblemDetails (RFC 7807) with status 422. Every request
carries an X-Correlation-Id (set by the FE fetch adapter); the backend echoes it
into a no-PII submit-audit log line (kind, outcome, reference, correlation id)
— the seam for real structured logging / an audit store.
Versioning
Endpoints live under /api/v1. Additive changes (a new optional field) stay on
v1: the NSwag-generated client and the FE parse* boundary ignore unknown fields,
so old clients keep working. A breaking change (renamed/removed field, changed
semantics) is introduced as /api/v2 served alongside v1 until clients migrate.
Where the rules live (src/BigRegister.Api/Domain/)
Diplomas/DiplomaRules.cs— profession derivation + which policy questions apply.Registrations/HerregistratieRule.cs— eligibility + reason + status invariant.Intake/IntakePolicy.cs— scholing threshold + completeness re-validation on submit (RejectIncompleteScholing, WP-69).Submissions/SubmissionRules.cs— submit rejections + reference generation.
Typed client (NSwag)
The frontend calls this API through a generated TypeScript client. Regenerate it from the contract after a shape change:
npm run gen:api # builds backend → swagger.json → src/app/shared/infrastructure/api-client.ts
Maintainability: changing a policy is one backend change
Goal: require every Verpleegkundige diploma to confirm a Dutch skills assessment. This is a new policy question on a diploma type.
Edit one file — Domain/Diplomas/DiplomaRules.cs:
public static IReadOnlyList<PolicyQuestion> QuestionsFor(Diploma d)
{
var questions = new List<PolicyQuestion>();
if (d.Engelstalig)
questions.Add(NlTaalEngelstalig);
+ if (d.Opleiding == "verpleegkunde")
+ questions.Add(new PolicyQuestion(
+ "bekwaamheid",
+ "Heeft u in de afgelopen vijf jaar een bekwaamheidstoets afgelegd?",
+ QuestionType.JaNee));
return questions;
}
Rebuild the backend (docker compose up or dotnet run). The new question now
appears in the registration wizard for HBO-Verpleegkunde.
- No frontend change. The FE renders whatever questions the API returns.
- No client regeneration. The wire shape (
PolicyQuestionDto) is unchanged — only the data behind it.npm run gen:apiis only needed when a DTO shape changes.
Add a unit test for the new rule in tests/BigRegister.Tests/RuleTests.cs and
you're done.
