+### 2026-06-02: Named Value Token Canonicalization — Broadened Scope
+
+**Problem:** Initial fix only canonicalized `{{namedValue}}` tokens in Logger credentials. Backend credentials also contain these tokens and fail validation when override casing differs from artifact names.
+
+**APIM resources supporting named value tokens:**
+1. **Logger** — `properties.credentials.*` (instrumentationKey, connectionString, etc.)
+2. **Backend** — `properties.credentials.authorization.parameter`, `properties.credentials.header.*`, `properties.credentials.query.*`
+3. Policies/PolicyFragments use `{{tokens}}` in XML, not JSON payloads (handled separately)
+
+**Solution:** Generalized normalization to traverse entire JSON payload recursively, not just Logger credentials. Renamed function: `normalizeLoggerCredentialNamedValueReferences` → `normalizeNamedValueReferences`. Applied to all resource types before PUT.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Backend credentials affected today, not hypothetical
+- Future-proof — new resource types with token support work automatically
+- Smallest correct change — recursive traversal already existed, just removed Logger-specific conditional
+- Preserves opaque JSON (Constitution §VII) — canonicalization safe for unknown properties
+
+**Evidence:**
+- Azure REST API spec: Backend credentials support `{{namedValue}}` references ([azure-rest-api-specs](https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/tree/main/specification/apimanagement))
+- APIM documentation: Named values in Backend authorization, headers, query strings
+- User feedback: "name-value pairs maybe used for other resources"
+
+**Tests:** Added Backend credential canonicalization test. All 910 tests pass.

+### 2026-05-19: Named Value Token Normalization Coverage Audit
+
+**Context:** User raised concern that Logger credential token normalization (commit 4cb0fa3) might not cover other resources that also use `{{namedValue}}` tokens.
+
+**Audit findings:**
+1. **Current implementation**: Only Logger resources have token normalization (lines 118-124 in resource-publisher.ts)
+2. **Current test coverage**: One test for Logger credential normalization (line 174-223 in resource-publisher.test.ts)
+3. **Gap identified**: Backend resources can also use `{{namedValue}}` tokens in `credentials.header` and `credentials.query` properties
+
+**Backend credentials structure from APIM REST API:**
+```json
+{
+  "credentials": {
+    "header": {
+      "Authorization": ["{{bearer-token}}"],
+      "x-api-key": ["{{api-key-namedvalue}}"]
+    },
+    "query": { ... },
+    "certificate": [ ... ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Action taken:**
+- Added skipped test `should canonicalize backend credential named value references from overrides` to document the gap
+- Test currently fails: expects `{{Backend-Auth-Token}}` (canonical casing) but receives `{{backend-auth-token}}` (from override)
+- Test will pass once implementation is extended to Backend resources
+- Created decision inbox note at `.squad/decisions/inbox/testengineer-named-value-coverage.md` recommending P2 extension
+
+**Recommendation:** Generalize `normalizeLoggerCredentialNamedValueReferences()` to `normalizeCredentialNamedValueReferences()` and apply to both Logger and Backend resource types. The existing recursive logic already handles nested objects/arrays, so minimal code change required.
+
+**Other resource types reviewed:**
+- **Diagnostic**: References loggers by ARM ID, not named value tokens
+- **Policies (XML)**: Already handle `{{namedValue}}` tokens, but as opaque XML content, not JSON properties
+- **ApiOperation, PolicyFragment**: May use named values in future, but not documented in current APIM REST API
+
+**Pattern reinforced:** When implementing normalization/canonicalization logic, audit all resource types that share similar property patterns. Skipped tests document known gaps and serve as regression coverage when gaps are closed.
+
+**Result:** 34 tests passing, 1 skipped test documenting Backend normalization gap. Decision note created for team review.

+# Named Value Token Canonicalization — Broadened Scope Fix
+
+## What Changed
+
+1. **Function renamed and generalized:**
+   - `normalizeLoggerCredentialNamedValueReferences` → `normalizeNamedValueReferences`
+   - Removed Logger-specific conditional
+   - Now applies to ALL resource types
+
+2. **Scope broadened:**
+   - Before: Only `Logger.properties.credentials.*`
+   - After: Entire JSON payload recursively for all resource types
+
+3. **Resources affected:**
+   - Logger credentials (already covered)
+   - Backend credentials (newly covered)
+   - Any future resource types with `{{namedValue}}` tokens
+
+## Why This Fix
+
+**User feedback:** "name-value pairs maybe used for other resources!"
+
+**Evidence:**
+- Backend resources support `{{token}}` in credentials.authorization.parameter, credentials.header, credentials.query
+- APIM validation is case-sensitive
+- Override casing mismatches cause PUT failures
+
+**Principle:** The smallest correct change is to normalize tokens everywhere, not add Backend-specific logic.
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `src/services/resource-publisher.ts`
+   - Generalized normalization function (lines 533-583)
+   - Applied to all resources before PUT (line 119)
+   - Updated comments to reflect broader scope
+
+2. `tests/unit/services/resource-publisher.test.ts`
+   - Renamed existing Logger test for clarity
+   - Added Backend credential canonicalization test
+   - Both tests pass
+
+## Verification
+
+- ✅ All 910 tests pass
+- ✅ Linter passes
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+- ✅ Preserves opaque JSON (Constitution §VII)
+- ✅ Backward compatible
