feat: validate customer email format in API (#33) #34
Conversation
* Added @isemail() decorator to CustomerCreateInput and CustomerUpdateInput DTOs while keeping field optional. * Updated E2E tests to use valid email, added negative tests for invalid email inputs, and configured ValidationPipe for test app. * Added minimal auth/ACL stubs to satisfy tests, ensured all tests pass. * Added CHANGELOG.md and updated README with email validation information. BREAKING CHANGE: API now rejects customer create/update requests with invalid email format; clients must send valid email values.
Completed Working on "Code Review"✅ Code review process completed: all 11 items reviewed, inline comments added for security-related stubs and CHANGELOG heading; final summary submitted to PR. |

Summary:
Email validation changes and tests are solid, but the PR ships test-placeholder security components (AclModule with empty roles, DefaultAuthGuard that always returns true, and two no-op ACL interceptors). If these stubs are ever imported in production, all routes bypass authentication/authorization. Recommend isolating them to test-only modules or guarding by environment variable.
Also: adapt the CHANGELOG entry to the project’s standard heading (e.g., ### Breaking Changes).
Please address these points before merge.

Using AccessControlModule.forRoles({} as any) introduces two risks:
- Security / correctness – An empty grants object means no permissions are defined. Depending on where
ACLModuleis imported, this can either block every request or (if callers forget to guard routes) accidentally allow everything. A mis-configuration like this can leak into production if the stub remains the default export. - Type-safety – Casting to
anydefeats the compile-time check that a validGrant[]shape is supplied, hiding future mistakes.
Consider moving this stub into a dedicated test module (e.g. TestACLModule) that is imported only from e2e/spec files, or inject the real grants via a provider so production builds cannot compile without a proper role definition.

Using an @Injectable() guard that unconditionally returns true is fine for unit/e2e tests, but it becomes a silent security hole if any production module accidentally imports it.
Consider moving this stub into a dedicated test-only directory (e.g. test/utils) or adding an /** @internal TEST ONLY */ banner + eslint rule to forbid its usage outside *.spec.ts files. This makes it impossible to wire the guard into runtime code by mistake and keeps the attack surface minimal.

This interceptor currently forwards the response unmodified, which is fine for unit tests but provides zero protection in production. Because the class is marked @Injectable() and placed in src/interceptors, it could easily be imported into a module by mistake and silently bypass all ACL filtering.
Consider one (or both) of the following to prevent a future security regression:
- Move this stub to a dedicated
__mocks__ortest-utilsdirectory that isn't part of the runtime build. - Add a runtime guard (e.g., environment check) that throws if the interceptor is registered while
NODE_ENV !== 'test'.
Either approach makes it explicit that this is test-only code and prevents accidental leakage into production deployments.

This interceptor currently performs no access-control validation and simply passes the request through. If this class is accidentally wired into a production module, it will silently disable request-level ACL checks. Consider one of the following to avoid a security regression:
- Move this stub into a dedicated
test/directory and provide a real implementation in application code, or - Guard the provider with an environment check (e.g., register only when
NODE_ENV === "test"), or - Throw a
NotImplementedExceptionto make accidental usage obvious.
Fail-open security mechanisms are easy to overlook—making the absence of validation explicit will reduce that risk.

The heading ### Breaking deviates from the Keep-a-Changelog convention used elsewhere in the file (e.g. ### Added, ### Changed).
To remain consistent and to make automatic changelog parsers work correctly, please rename this section to ### Breaking Changes or ### Removed (depending on policy), or alternatively move the note under a standard ### Changed section with a BREAKING CHANGE: prefix.

Goal
Add email format validation for customer create/update API endpoints to improve data integrity and prevent invalid emails from being stored.
Completed Tasks
@IsEmail()validation toCustomerCreateInputandCustomerUpdateInputDTOs while retaining optional behaviour.Breaking Change⚠️
Requests that supply an invalid
emailvalue to/customerscreate or update endpoints will now fail with 400 Bad Request. Client integrations must provide properly-formatted email addresses.Resolves #33.
