arch: Bootcamp Pipeline End-to-End Test — Dry Run with 5 Students

[LarytheLord]

What

Run the complete bootcamp pipeline manually with 5 test accounts to validate every code path before the real cohort arrives in May.

Why

We have zero evidence the end-to-end flow works. Each component (onboard webhook, tutorial gating, quest claiming, submission, QA review, XP grant, rank-up) has been built and unit-tested, but the full lifecycle hasn't been exercised as an integrated pipeline.

Test Script

Step 1: Onboard 5 test students

Call the onboard webhook for 5 fake bootcamp students:

curl -X POST /api/onboard \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BOOTCAMP_WEBHOOK_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Test Student 1","email":"test1@bootcamp.dev","bootcampStudentId":"BC001","cohort":"test-cohort-1","bootcampTrack":"beginner"}'

Verify: Users created with F-rank, BootcampLink created, eligibleForRealQuests = false

Step 2: Verify quest visibility gating

• Log in as test student → quest board should only show BOOTCAMP track quests
• Should only see Tutorial quests (eligibleForRealQuests = false)
• Attempting to view an INTERN quest via direct URL should return 403

Step 3: Complete Tutorial Quest 1

• Create "Tutorial: First Blood" quest (BOOTCAMP track, F difficulty)
• Student claims quest → assignment created with status "assigned"
• Student submits → status goes to "pending_admin_review" (not "submitted")
• Admin reviews in QA queue → approves → status goes to "review" → company approves → "completed"
• Verify: tutorialQuest1Complete = true, XP granted, streak started

Step 4: Complete Tutorial Quest 2

• Create "Tutorial: Party Up" quest (BOOTCAMP track, E difficulty)
• Same flow as Step 3
• Verify: tutorialQuest2Complete = true, eligibleForRealQuests = true

Step 5: Access real quests

• Student should now see non-tutorial BOOTCAMP quests
• Claim a real quest, submit, go through QA mediation

Step 6: Party formation (E-rank quest)

• Create E-rank BOOTCAMP quest with maxParticipants = 2
• Student 1 creates party → auto-added as leader
• Student 1 adds Student 2 → party full (BOOTCAMP max = 2)
• Both submit work

Step 7: Rank-up verification

• After enough quests, verify F→E rank-up occurs
• XP bar shows correct progress
• Guild Card (when built) shows updated rank

Expected Results

• All 5 students onboarded successfully
• Tutorial gating works (can't see real quests until both tutorials done)
• QA mediation flow works (pending_admin_review → review)
• Party system works for BOOTCAMP pairs
• XP/rank progression works correctly
• No error states, no stuck assignments, no missing data

Files Under Test

All Phase 0-2 code: onboard webhook, quest filtering, assignments, submissions, QA queue, XP utils, quest lifecycle, party system
