+# Data Model: Cancel Event
+
+**Feature Branch**: `016-cancel-event` | **Date**: 2026-03-12
+
+## Entity Changes
+
+### Event (extended)
+
+Two new fields added to the existing Event entity:
+
+| Field              | Type           | Constraints                  | Description                                      |
+|--------------------|----------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
+| cancelled          | boolean        | NOT NULL, DEFAULT false      | Whether the event has been cancelled              |
+| cancellationReason | String (2000)  | Nullable                     | Optional reason provided by organizer             |
+
+### State Transition
+
+```
+ACTIVE ──cancel()──► CANCELLED
+```
+
+- One-way transition only. No path from CANCELLED back to ACTIVE.
+- `cancel()` sets `cancelled = true` and optionally sets `cancellationReason`.
+- Once cancelled, the event remains visible but RSVP creation is blocked.
+
+### Validation Rules
+
+- `cancellationReason` max length: 2000 characters (matches description field).
+- `cancellationReason` is plain text only (no HTML/markdown).
+- `cancelled` can only transition from `false` to `true`, never back.
+- Existing RSVPs are preserved when an event is cancelled (no cascade).
+
+## Database Migration (Liquibase Changeset 004)
+
+```xml
+<changeSet id="004-add-cancellation-columns" author="fete">
+    <addColumn tableName="events">
+        <column name="cancelled" type="BOOLEAN" defaultValueBoolean="false">
+            <constraints nullable="false"/>
+        </column>
+        <column name="cancellation_reason" type="VARCHAR(2000)"/>
+    </addColumn>
+</changeSet>
+```
+
+## Domain Model Impact
+
+### Event.java (domain)
+
+Add fields:
+```java
+private boolean cancelled;
+private String cancellationReason;
+```
+
+Add method:
+```java
+public void cancel(String reason) {
+    if (this.cancelled) {
+        throw new EventAlreadyCancelledException();
+    }
+    this.cancelled = true;
+    this.cancellationReason = reason;
+}
+```
+
+### EventJpaEntity.java (persistence)
+
+Add columns:
+```java
+@Column(name = "cancelled", nullable = false)
+private boolean cancelled;
+
+@Column(name = "cancellation_reason", length = 2000)
+private String cancellationReason;
+```
+
+## RSVP Impact
+
+- `POST /events/{eventToken}/rsvps` must check `event.isCancelled()` before accepting.
+- If cancelled → return `409 Conflict`.
+- Existing RSVPs remain untouched — no delete, no status change.

+# Implementation Plan: Cancel Event
+
+**Branch**: `016-cancel-event` | **Date**: 2026-03-12 | **Spec**: [spec.md](spec.md)
+**Input**: Feature specification from `/specs/016-cancel-event/spec.md`
+
+## Summary
+
+Allow organizers to permanently cancel events via a bottom sheet UI. Cancelled events display a red banner to visitors and block new RSVPs. Implementation adds a `PATCH /events/{eventToken}` endpoint, extends the Event entity with `cancelled` and `cancellationReason` fields, and reuses the existing `BottomSheet.vue` component for the cancel interaction.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: Java 25 (backend), TypeScript 5.9 (frontend)
+**Primary Dependencies**: Spring Boot 3.5.x, Vue 3, Vue Router 5, openapi-fetch, openapi-typescript
+**Storage**: PostgreSQL (JPA via Spring Data, Liquibase migrations)
+**Testing**: JUnit (backend), Vitest (frontend unit), Playwright + MSW (frontend E2E)
+**Target Platform**: Self-hosted Linux server, mobile-first PWA
+**Project Type**: Web application (REST API + SPA)
+**Performance Goals**: N/A — simple state transition, no performance-critical path
+**Constraints**: Privacy by design (no analytics/tracking), WCAG AA, mobile-first
+**Scale/Scope**: Single new endpoint, 2 new DB columns, 1 view extension
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+| Principle | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| I. Privacy by Design | PASS | No new data collection beyond organizer-provided reason. No analytics. |
+| II. Test-Driven Methodology | PASS | TDD enforced: tests before implementation, E2E mandatory for both user stories. |
+| III. API-First Development | PASS | OpenAPI spec updated first, types generated before implementation. `example:` fields included. |
+| IV. Simplicity & Quality | PASS | Minimal change: 2 columns, 1 endpoint, reuse existing BottomSheet. No over-engineering. |
+| V. Dependency Discipline | PASS | No new dependencies required. |
+| VI. Accessibility | PASS | Reuses accessible BottomSheet component. Banner uses semantic HTML + ARIA. |
+
+**Gate result: PASS** — no violations.

+# Quickstart: Cancel Event
+
+**Feature Branch**: `016-cancel-event`
+
+## What This Feature Does
+
+Adds the ability for an organizer to permanently cancel an event. Cancelled events display a red banner to visitors and block new RSVPs.
+
+## Implementation Scope
+
+### Backend
+1. **Liquibase migration** (003): Add `cancelled` (boolean) and `cancellation_reason` (varchar 2000) columns to `events` table.
+2. **Domain model**: Extend `Event.java` with `cancelled` and `cancellationReason` fields + `cancel()` method.
+3. **JPA entity**: Extend `EventJpaEntity.java` with matching columns and mapper updates.
+4. **OpenAPI spec**: Add `PATCH /events/{eventToken}` endpoint + extend `GetEventResponse` with cancellation fields.
+5. **Use case**: New `CancelEventUseCase` interface + implementation in `EventService`.
+6. **Controller**: Implement `cancelEvent` in `EventController`.
+7. **RSVP guard**: Add cancelled check to RSVP creation (return 409).
+
+### Frontend
+1. **Cancel bottom sheet**: Add cancel button (organizer-only) + bottom sheet with textarea and confirm button in `EventDetailView.vue`.
+2. **Cancellation banner**: Red banner at top of event detail when `cancelled === true`.
+3. **RSVP hiding**: Hide `RsvpBar` when event is cancelled.
+4. **API client**: Use generated types from updated OpenAPI spec.
+
+### Testing
+1. **Backend unit tests**: Cancel use case, RSVP rejection on cancelled events.
+2. **Backend integration tests**: Full cancel flow via API.
+3. **Frontend unit tests**: Cancel bottom sheet, banner display, RSVP hiding.
+4. **E2E tests**: Organizer cancels event, attendee sees cancelled event.
+

+# Research: Cancel Event
+
+**Feature Branch**: `016-cancel-event` | **Date**: 2026-03-12
+
+## Decision 1: API Endpoint Design
+
+**Decision**: Use `PATCH /events/{eventToken}` with organizer token and cancellation fields in request body.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- PATCH is standard REST for partial resource updates — cancellation is a state change on the event resource.
+- The event is not removed, so DELETE is not appropriate. The event remains visible with a cancellation banner.
+- The organizer token is sent in the request body to keep it out of URL/query strings and server access logs.
+- Request body: `{ "organizerToken": "uuid", "cancelled": true, "cancellationReason": "optional string" }`.
+- Response: `204 No Content` on success.
+- Error responses: `404` if event not found, `403` if organizer token is wrong, `409` if already cancelled.
+- Currently the only supported PATCH operation is cancellation. The endpoint validates that `cancelled` is `true` and rejects requests that attempt to set other fields.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- `POST /events/{eventToken}/cancel` — rejected because a dedicated sub-resource endpoint is RPC-style, not RESTful. PATCH on the resource itself is the standard approach.
+- `DELETE /events/{eventToken}` — rejected because the event is not deleted, it remains visible with a cancellation banner.
+
+## Decision 2: Database Schema Extension
+
+**Decision**: Add two columns to the `events` table: `cancelled BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE` and `cancellation_reason VARCHAR(2000)`.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Boolean flag is the simplest representation of the cancelled state.
+- 2000 chars matches the existing description field limit — consistent and generous.
+- DEFAULT FALSE ensures backward compatibility with existing rows.
+- A Liquibase changeset (003) adds both columns.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Enum status field (`ACTIVE`, `CANCELLED`) — rejected as over-engineering for a binary state with no other planned transitions.
+- Separate cancellation table — rejected as unnecessary complexity for two columns.
+
+## Decision 3: RSVP Blocking on Cancelled Events
+
+**Decision**: The RSVP creation endpoint (`POST /events/{eventToken}/rsvps`) checks the event's cancelled flag and returns `409 Conflict` if the event is cancelled.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Server-side enforcement is required (FR-006) — frontend hiding the button is not sufficient.
+- 409 Conflict is semantically correct: the request conflicts with the current state of the resource.
+- Existing RSVPs are preserved (FR-007) — no cascade or cleanup needed.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- 400 Bad Request — rejected because the request itself is well-formed; the conflict is with resource state.
+- 422 Unprocessable Entity — rejected because the issue is not validation but state conflict.
+
+## Decision 4: Frontend Cancel Bottom Sheet
+
+**Decision**: Reuse the existing `BottomSheet.vue` component. Add cancel-specific content (textarea + confirm button) directly in `EventDetailView.vue`, similar to how the RSVP form is embedded.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- The spec explicitly requires the bottom sheet pattern consistent with RSVP flow (FR-002).
+- `BottomSheet.vue` is already a generic, accessible, glassmorphism-styled container.
+- No need for a separate component — the cancel form is simple (textarea + button + error message).
+- Error handling follows the same pattern as RSVP: inline error in the sheet, button re-enabled.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Separate `CancelBottomSheet.vue` component — rejected as unnecessary extraction for a simple form.
+- ConfirmDialog instead of BottomSheet — rejected because spec explicitly requires bottom sheet.
+
+## Decision 5: Organizer Token Authorization
+
+**Decision**: The cancel endpoint receives the organizer token in the request body. The frontend retrieves it from localStorage via `useEventStorage.getOrganizerToken()`.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Consistent with how organizer identity works throughout the app — token-based, no auth system.
+- The organizer token is already stored in localStorage when the event is created.
+- Body parameter keeps the token out of URL/query strings and server access logs.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Authorization header — rejected because there's no auth system; the organizer token is not a session token.
+- Query parameter — rejected to keep token out of server logs (same reason the attendee endpoint should eventually be migrated away from query params).
+
+## Decision 6: GetEventResponse Extension
+
+**Decision**: Add `cancelled: boolean` and `cancellationReason: string | null` to the `GetEventResponse` schema.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- The frontend needs to know whether an event is cancelled to show the banner and hide RSVP buttons.
+- Both fields are always returned (no separate endpoint needed).
+- `cancelled` defaults to `false` for existing events.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Separate endpoint for cancellation status — rejected as unnecessary network overhead.
+- Only return cancellation info for cancelled events — rejected because the frontend needs the boolean regardless to decide UI state.

+# Feature Specification: Cancel Event
+
+**Feature Branch**: `016-cancel-event`
+**Created**: 2026-03-12
+**Status**: Draft
+**Input**: User description: "As an organizer, I want to cancel an event so that attendees know the event will not take place"
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Organizer Cancels an Event (Priority: P1)
+
+An organizer navigates to their event page (identified by having the organizer token). They decide to cancel the event. They tap a "Cancel Event" button, which opens a bottom sheet (visually similar to the attend/RSVP flow). The bottom sheet contains a text area for an optional cancellation reason and a confirm button. After confirming, the event is permanently marked as cancelled. This action is irreversible.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the core action of the feature. Without it, nothing else matters.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by viewing the event with the organizer token, tapping cancel, optionally entering a reason, and confirming. The event's cancelled state persists on reload.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** an active event viewed by someone who has the organizer token, **When** the organizer taps "Cancel Event", **Then** a bottom sheet opens with a text area and a confirm button.
+2. **Given** the cancel bottom sheet is open, **When** the organizer enters a cancellation reason and taps the confirm button, **Then** the event is marked as cancelled with the provided reason.
+3. **Given** the cancel bottom sheet is open, **When** the organizer taps confirm without entering a reason, **Then** the event is marked as cancelled without a reason.
+4. **Given** a cancelled event, **When** the organizer revisits the event page, **Then** the event remains cancelled (irreversible).
+5. **Given** the cancel bottom sheet is open, **When** the organizer taps confirm and the API call fails, **Then** an error message is displayed in the bottom sheet, the sheet remains open, and the confirm button is re-enabled for retry.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Attendee Sees Cancelled Event (Priority: P1)
+
+An attendee (or any visitor) opens the event detail page for a cancelled event. A prominent red banner is displayed at the top of the page, clearly communicating that the event has been cancelled. If the organizer provided a cancellation reason, it is shown within the banner. The RSVP buttons are hidden — no new RSVPs can be submitted.
+
+**Why this priority**: Equal to P1 because the cancellation must be visible to attendees for the feature to deliver value. Without this, cancelling has no effect from the attendee's perspective.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be tested by viewing a cancelled event's detail page and verifying the banner appears, the reason is displayed (if provided), and RSVP buttons are hidden.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a cancelled event with a cancellation reason, **When** a visitor opens the event detail page, **Then** a prominent red banner is displayed showing that the event is cancelled along with the reason.
+2. **Given** a cancelled event without a cancellation reason, **When** a visitor opens the event detail page, **Then** a prominent red banner is displayed showing that the event is cancelled, without a reason text.
+3. **Given** a cancelled event, **When** a visitor opens the event detail page, **Then** the RSVP buttons are not visible.
+4. **Given** a cancelled event, **When** a visitor opens the event detail page, **Then** all other event details (title, date, location, description) remain visible.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens when the organizer tries to cancel an already cancelled event? The cancel button is not available on an already cancelled event.
+- What happens to existing RSVPs when an event is cancelled? They are preserved as-is but no new RSVPs can be submitted.
+- What happens when the event is both cancelled and expired? The auto-delete mechanism (feature 013) continues to apply normally — cancelled events are deleted on the same schedule as non-cancelled events.
+- What happens when the cancellation API call fails (network error, server error)? The bottom sheet remains open, a visible error message is displayed within the sheet, and the confirm button is re-enabled so the organizer can retry.
+- How are cancelled events displayed in the event list? Out of scope for this feature — the event list view is not affected.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: System MUST allow the organizer to cancel an event via the organizer view.
+- **FR-002**: The cancellation interaction MUST use a bottom sheet pattern consistent with the existing RSVP/attend flow.
+- **FR-003**: The bottom sheet MUST contain a text area for an optional cancellation reason and a confirm button.
+- **FR-004**: Cancellation MUST be irreversible — once cancelled, there is no way to undo it.
+- **FR-005**: System MUST store a cancelled flag and an optional cancellation reason for the event.
+- **FR-006**: System MUST NOT allow new RSVPs for a cancelled event.
+- **FR-007**: System MUST preserve existing RSVPs when an event is cancelled.
+- **FR-008**: The event detail page MUST display a prominent red banner for cancelled events.
+- **FR-009**: The banner MUST include the cancellation reason when one was provided.
+- **FR-010**: The RSVP buttons MUST be hidden on a cancelled event's detail page.
+- **FR-011**: All other event information MUST remain visible on a cancelled event's detail page.
+- **FR-012**: The cancel button MUST NOT be shown on an already cancelled event.
+- **FR-013**: There MUST be no push notifications, emails, or any active notification mechanism for cancellations.
+- **FR-014**: If the cancellation API call fails, the bottom sheet MUST remain open, display an error message, and allow the organizer to retry.
+- **FR-015**: Changes to the event list view for cancelled events are explicitly OUT OF SCOPE for this feature.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Event** (extended): Gains a cancelled state (boolean) and an optional cancellation reason (free text). An event can transition from active to cancelled, but not back.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: Organizer can cancel an event in under 30 seconds (open bottom sheet, optionally type reason, confirm).
+- **SC-002**: 100% of visitors to a cancelled event's detail page see the cancellation banner without scrolling.
+- **SC-003**: 0% of cancelled events accept new RSVPs.
+- **SC-004**: Existing RSVPs are fully preserved after cancellation (no data loss).
+
+## Clarifications
+
+### Session 2026-03-12
+
+- Q: How should cancelled events appear in the event list view? → A: Out of scope for this feature — event list view is not affected.
+- Q: What should happen when the cancellation API call fails? → A: Error message displayed in the bottom sheet, sheet remains open, confirm button re-enabled for retry.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+- The bottom sheet component pattern already exists from the RSVP/attend flow and can be reused.
+- The cancellation reason has a maximum length of 2000 characters (consistent with the event description field).
+- The cancellation reason is plain text (no formatting or markup).

+# Tasks: Cancel Event
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/016-cancel-event/`
+**Prerequisites**: plan.md, spec.md, research.md, data-model.md, contracts/patch-event-endpoint.yaml
+
+**Tests**: Included — constitution mandates TDD (tests before implementation) and E2E for every frontend user story.
+
+**Organization**: Tasks grouped by user story. Both stories are P1 but US2 depends on US1's backend work.
+
+## Format: `[ID] [P?] [Story] Description`
+
+- **[P]**: Can run in parallel (different files, no dependencies)
+- **[Story]**: Which user story this task belongs to (e.g., US1, US2)
+- Include exact file paths in descriptions
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Setup (Shared Infrastructure)
+
+**Purpose**: OpenAPI spec, database migration, and domain model changes that both user stories depend on.
+
+- [X] T001 Update OpenAPI spec with PATCH endpoint on `/events/{eventToken}` (organizerToken as query param), PatchEventRequest schema (`cancelled`, `cancellationReason`), and extend GetEventResponse with `cancelled`/`cancellationReason` fields in `backend/src/main/resources/openapi/api.yaml`
+- [X] T002 Add Liquibase changeset 004 adding `cancelled` (BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE) and `cancellation_reason` (VARCHAR 2000) columns to `events` table in `backend/src/main/resources/db/changelog/004-add-cancellation-columns.xml` and register it in `db.changelog-master.xml`
+- [X] T003 [P] Extend domain model `Event.java` with `cancelled`, `cancellationReason` fields and `cancel(String reason)` method (throws `EventAlreadyCancelledException`). Create `EventAlreadyCancelledException` in `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/domain/model/`. Domain model: `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/domain/model/Event.java`
+- [X] T004 [P] Extend JPA entity `EventJpaEntity.java` with `cancelled` and `cancellation_reason` columns and update mapper in `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/adapter/out/persistence/EventPersistenceAdapter.java`
+- [X] T005 Regenerate frontend TypeScript types from updated OpenAPI spec via `cd frontend && npm run generate:api`
+
+**Checkpoint**: Schema, migration, and domain model ready. Both user stories can now proceed.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: User Story 1 — Organizer Cancels an Event (Priority: P1) MVP
+
+**Goal**: Organizer can cancel an event via a bottom sheet with optional reason. Cancellation is irreversible and persists on reload.
+
+**Independent Test**: View event with organizer token, tap cancel, optionally enter reason, confirm. Event remains cancelled on reload.
+
+### Tests for User Story 1
+
+> **Write these tests FIRST — ensure they FAIL before implementation**
+
+- [X] ~~T006~~ Removed (EventTest.java unnecessary — cancel() tested via service/integration tests)
+- [X] T007 [P] [US1] Write unit test for cancel use case in EventService (delegates to domain, saves, 403/404/409 cases) in `backend/src/test/java/de/fete/application/service/EventServiceCancelTest.java`
+- [X] T008 [P] [US1] Write integration tests for `PATCH /events/{eventToken}` endpoint (204 success, 403 wrong token, 404 not found, 409 already cancelled) in `backend/src/test/java/de/fete/adapter/in/web/EventControllerIntegrationTest.java`
+- [X] T009 [P] [US1] Write E2E test: organizer opens cancel bottom sheet, enters reason, confirms — event shows as cancelled on reload in `frontend/e2e/cancel-event.spec.ts`
+- [X] T010 [P] [US1] Write E2E test: organizer cancels without reason — event shows as cancelled in `frontend/e2e/cancel-event.spec.ts`
+- [X] T011 [P] [US1] Write E2E test: cancel API fails — error displayed in bottom sheet, button re-enabled for retry in `frontend/e2e/cancel-event.spec.ts`
+
+### Implementation for User Story 1
+
+- [X] T012 [US1] Create `UpdateEventUseCase` interface in `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/domain/port/in/UpdateEventUseCase.java`
+- [X] T013 [US1] Implement cancel logic in `EventService.java` — load event, verify organizer token, call `event.cancel(reason)`, persist in `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/application/service/EventService.java`
+- [X] T014 [US1] Implement `patchEvent` endpoint in `EventController.java` — PATCH handler, query param organizerToken, request body binding, error mapping (403/404/409) in `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/adapter/in/web/EventController.java`
+- [X] T015 [US1] Add cancel button (visible only when organizer token exists and event not cancelled — covers FR-012) and cancel bottom sheet (textarea with 2000 char limit + confirm button + inline error) to `frontend/src/views/EventDetailView.vue`
+- [X] T016 [US1] Wire cancel bottom sheet confirm action to `PATCH /events/{eventToken}` API call via openapi-fetch, handle success (reload event data) and error (show inline message, re-enable button) in `frontend/src/views/EventDetailView.vue`
+
+**Checkpoint**: Organizer can cancel an event. All US1 acceptance scenarios pass.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 2 — Attendee Sees Cancelled Event (Priority: P1)
+
+**Goal**: Visitors see a prominent red cancellation banner on cancelled events. RSVP buttons are hidden. All other event details remain visible.
+
+**Independent Test**: View a cancelled event's detail page — banner visible (with reason if provided), RSVP buttons hidden, other details intact.
+
+### Tests for User Story 2
+
+> **Write these tests FIRST — ensure they FAIL before implementation**
+
+- [X] ~~T017~~ Removed (RsvpServiceCancelledTest unnecessary — covered by integration test)
+- [X] T018 [P] [US2] Write integration test for `POST /events/{eventToken}/rsvps` returning 409 when event is cancelled in `backend/src/test/java/de/fete/adapter/in/web/EventControllerIntegrationTest.java`
+- [X] T019 [P] [US2] Write E2E test: visitor sees red banner with cancellation reason on cancelled event in `frontend/e2e/cancelled-event-visitor.spec.ts`
+- [X] T020 [P] [US2] Write E2E test: visitor sees red banner without reason when no reason was provided in `frontend/e2e/cancelled-event-visitor.spec.ts`
+- [X] T021 [P] [US2] Write E2E test: RSVP buttons hidden on cancelled event, other details remain visible in `frontend/e2e/cancelled-event-visitor.spec.ts`
+
+### Implementation for User Story 2
+
+- [X] T022 [US2] Add cancelled-event guard to RSVP creation — check `event.isCancelled()`, return 409 Conflict in `backend/src/main/java/de/fete/application/service/RsvpService.java`
+- [X] T023 [US2] Add cancellation banner component/section (red, prominent, includes reason if present, WCAG AA contrast) to `frontend/src/views/EventDetailView.vue`
+- [X] T024 [US2] Hide RSVP buttons (`RsvpBar` or equivalent) when `event.cancelled === true` in `frontend/src/views/EventDetailView.vue`
+- [X] ~~T025~~ Merged into T015 (cancel button v-if already handles FR-012)
+
+**Checkpoint**: Both user stories fully functional. All acceptance scenarios pass.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+**Purpose**: Validation, edge cases, and final cleanup.
+
+- [X] T026 Verify cancellationReason max length (2000 chars) is enforced at API level (OpenAPI `maxLength`), domain level in `Event.java`, and UI level (textarea maxlength/counter)
+- [X] T027 Run full backend test suite (`cd backend && ./mvnw verify`) and fix any failures
+- [X] T028 Run full frontend test suite (`cd frontend && npm run test:unit`) and fix any failures
+- [X] T029 Run E2E tests (`cd frontend && npx playwright test`) and fix any failures
+- [X] T030 Run backend checkstyle (`cd backend && ./mvnw checkstyle:check`) and fix violations
