+# UpdateProductCategory
+
+## Overview
+
+updateProductCategory modifies the display name of an existing product category. In extensible module configurations, consumer-defined custom fields may also be updated through this command. Category code and parent reference are immutable through this command — use moveProductCategory to change the parent.
+
+## Business Rules
+
+- Target category must exist
+- Category code is immutable — cannot be changed
+- At least one updatable field must be provided
+- Name must remain non-empty when provided
+- Consumer-defined custom fields may be updated
+- Updating name does not affect product assignments or child categories
+
+## Process Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Receive update request] --> B{Category exists?}
+    B -->|No| C[Return error: CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND]
+    B -->|Yes| D{Code change attempted?}

+    F -->|No| G[Return error: MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD]
+    F -->|Yes| H[Apply name and/or custom field updates]
+    H --> I[Return updated category]
+```
+
+## External Dependencies
+
+- None
+
+## Error Scenarios
+
+- **CATEGORY_NOT_FOUND**: Specified category ID does not exist
+- **CODE_IMMUTABLE**: Attempt to change the category code
+- **MISSING_REQUIRED_FIELD**: No updatable fields were provided, or name is empty when provided without any custom field updates
+
+## Test Cases
+

+# Attribute Management
+
+## Overview
+
+Attributes define the variant axes of products. Each attribute is identified by a unique code and has a display name. Attributes hold a set of predefined values (e.g., "Red", "Blue" for a Color attribute). Products generate variants from the cartesian product of their assigned attribute values.
+
+## Business Purpose
+
+A flexible attribute system is essential for variant generation:
+
+- **Variant axes** (e.g., Color, Size) determine the combinations that generate product variants. Each axis value maps to a distinct variant
+- Attributes are always variant axes — there are no "descriptive-only" attributes in this module. Descriptive product information is handled via product fields or other modules
+
+## Process Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Create Attribute] --> B[Add Attribute Values]
+    B --> C[Assign to Product]
+    C --> D[Generate Variants]
+```
+
+## Scenario Patterns
+
+- **Color Attribute**: A "Color" attribute is created with values Red, Blue, Green. When assigned to a product, these values drive variant generation
+- **Size Attribute**: A "Size" attribute is created with values S, M, L. Combined with Color, it produces the cartesian product (e.g., Red/S, Red/M, ..., Green/L)
+- **Numeric Values as Select**: Values like "10mm", "12mm", "14mm" are modeled as select values, not as numeric types — they are discrete options for variant generation
+- **Attribute Value Addition**: New values (e.g., "Yellow") are added to an existing attribute. Products using this attribute can then include the new value in variant generation
+- **Attribute Name Update**: An attribute's display name can be updated at any time (e.g., renaming "Colour" to "Color"). The attribute's code remains unchanged
+- **Attribute Value Label Update**: A value's display label can be updated at any time (e.g., fixing a typo, changing language). The value's identity (ID) is preserved, so existing variant references and generated SKUs are unaffected
+- **Axis Structure Locked**: Once a product is ACTIVE, the set of attributes assigned to it is locked. New attributes cannot be assigned — only new values can be added to existing attributes. This prevents structure changes that would invalidate existing variants
+- **Attribute Value Removal**: A value is removed from an attribute only if no ACTIVE product uses it as a variant value
+- **Attribute Deletion**: An attribute can only be deleted if it is not assigned to any product
+
+## Test Cases
+
+- Attributes require a unique code and a display name
+- Attribute code is immutable after creation
+- Attribute value labels can be updated at any time without affecting variant structure or SKUs
+- Attributes must have at least one value before being used for variant generation
+- Attribute values must be unique within the attribute
+- Attribute deletion is blocked if the attribute is assigned to any product
+- Attribute value removal is blocked if the value is in use on any ACTIVE product

+# Product Category
+
+## Overview
+
+Product categories provide a hierarchical tree structure for classifying products. Each category is identified by a unique code and has a display name. Categories organize the commercial/marketing view of products (e.g., Apparel > Men's > T-Shirts). Products can belong to multiple categories (many-to-many), enabling multi-dimensional classification. This is distinct from item-management's taxonomy, which classifies Items at the SKU level.
+
+## Business Purpose
+
+Product categories serve the commercial organization of product lines:
+
+- Marketing teams organize products into browsable hierarchies for catalogs, e-commerce navigation, and reporting
+- Multiple category trees can coexist (e.g., one by product type, another by season or collection)
+- Categories at the product level group related products (and their variants) together, while item-management's taxonomy classifies individual SKUs for operational purposes
+
+The separation from item taxonomy ensures:
+
+- Product teams can reorganize commercial categories without affecting operational item classification
+- A product (e.g., "Classic T-Shirt") belongs to a marketing category, while its individual Items (SKUs) may have separate taxonomy assignments for warehouse or procurement purposes
+
+## Process Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Create Root Category] --> B[Create Child Categories]
+    B --> C[Build category tree]
+    C --> D[Assign products to categories]
+    D --> E{Product in multiple categories?}
+    E -->|Yes| F[Create additional assignments]
+    E -->|No| G[Single assignment]
+```
+
+Example category tree structure:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    R[Root: All Products] --> A[Apparel]
+    R --> B[Accessories]
+    A --> C[Men's]
+    A --> D[Women's]
+    C --> E[T-Shirts]
+    C --> F[Pants]
+    D --> G[Dresses]
+    B --> H[Bags]
+    B --> I[Jewelry]
+```
+
+## Scenario Patterns
+
+- **Category Tree Setup**: A root category "All Products" is created, then child categories are added hierarchically (Apparel > Men's > T-Shirts)
+- **Multi-Category Assignment**: A "Unisex T-Shirt" product is assigned to both "Men's > T-Shirts" and "Women's > T-Shirts" categories
+- **Category Reorganization**: A category is moved from one parent to another (e.g., "Accessories" moved under "Apparel")
+- **Category Deletion**: A leaf category with no product assignments is deleted. Categories with assignments or children cannot be deleted
+- **Depth Limit**: Category tree depth is configurable (default max depth enforced to prevent excessively deep hierarchies)
+
+## Test Cases
+
+- Categories require a unique code (globally unique) and a display name
+- Category code is immutable after creation
+- Root categories have no parent
+- Child categories reference a valid parent category
+- Category tree respects a configurable maximum depth
+- Circular references are prevented (a category cannot be its own ancestor)
+- Products can be assigned to multiple categories (many-to-many)
+- Category deletion is blocked if the category has child categories or product assignments
+- Moving a category updates all descendant paths
+- Category names can be updated without affecting product assignments

+# Product Lifecycle
+
+## Overview
+
+Products are the central entity in the Product Management module. A product represents a commercial product — identified by a unique code, along with its name, description, and attribute assignments. Products serve as the parent entity from which variants are generated. Each product has a lifecycle state machine (DRAFT → ACTIVE ↔ ARCHIVED) that controls when variant generation and downstream operations are permitted.
+
+## Business Purpose
+
+Products provide the commercial/marketing view of a product, separate from the operational SKU-level Item in item-management. This separation enables:
+
+- Marketing and product teams to define product structure and descriptions before SKUs exist
+- Attribute assignment and configuration before generating actual Items
+- Archival of discontinued product lines while preserving generated Items for historical transactions
+  The lifecycle ensures:
+
+- Products are reviewed before variant generation is allowed (DRAFT → ACTIVE)
+- Archived products stop generating new variants but existing Items remain unaffected
+- Only DRAFT products can be permanently deleted; ACTIVE/ARCHIVED products are preserved
+
+## Process Flow
+
+```mermaid
+stateDiagram-v2
+    [*] --> Draft: createProduct
+    Draft --> Active: activateProduct
+    Active --> Archived: deactivateProduct
+    Archived --> Active: reactivateProduct
+    Draft --> [*]: deleteProduct
+```
+
+The product creation and setup flow follows this pattern:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Create Product] --> B[Assign Attributes]
+    B --> C{Ready for variants?}
+    C -->|Yes| D[Activate Product]
+    C -->|No| E[Continue editing]
+    E --> B
+    D --> F[Generate Variants]
+```
+
+## Scenario Patterns
+
+- **New Product Setup**: A product is created in DRAFT, attributes are assigned (Color, Size), then the product is activated
+- **Product Line Archival**: An entire product line is archived. The product moves to ARCHIVED status, preventing new variant generation, but all existing Items remain ACTIVE in item-management
+- **Product Relaunch**: A previously archived product is reactivated for a new season, allowing new variant generation with updated attribute values
+- **Draft Cleanup**: Unfinished products in DRAFT are deleted before activation
+- **Product Update**: An ACTIVE product's name and description can be updated. New attribute values can be added to existing attributes (to support incremental variant generation), but existing values cannot be modified or removed to preserve variant consistency
+
+## Test Cases
+
+- Product lifecycle follows DRAFT → ACTIVE ↔ ARCHIVED state machine
+- Products can only be created in DRAFT status
+- Only DRAFT products can be deleted; ACTIVE and ARCHIVED products cannot
+- Product code is required, unique, and immutable after creation
+- Product name is required and must be non-empty
+- On ACTIVE products, new attribute values can be added but existing values cannot be modified or removed
+- On DRAFT products, all attribute operations (add, modify, remove) are allowed
+- Archiving a product does not affect existing Items generated from its variants
+- Reactivating an ARCHIVED product returns it to ACTIVE status

+# Variant Generation
+
+## Overview
+
+Variant generation creates product variants from the combination of attribute values on an ACTIVE product. Each variant represents a unique attribute combination (e.g., Red/S, Red/M, Blue/S, Blue/M). Upon generation, each variant creates a corresponding Item in the item-management module with a SKU produced by an injectable SKU generation strategy, inheriting the product's UoM configuration.
+
+## Business Purpose
+
+Variant generation is the bridge between the commercial product view (product-management) and the operational SKU view (item-management):
+
+- Product teams define the product structure (product + attributes) in product-management
+- Variant generation materializes this structure into concrete, tradeable Items
+- Each Item receives a unique SKU produced by the injectable SKU generation strategy (default: sequential numbering based on product code, e.g., `CLASSIC-TSHIRT-001`)
+- Generated Items can then participate in inventory, sales, and purchasing workflows independently
+
+This separation ensures:
+
+- Product structure changes (adding a new color) can be planned before creating SKUs
+- Only ACTIVE products can generate variants, preventing premature Item creation
+- The relationship between a product and its generated Items is tracked for traceability
+
+## Process Flow
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A[Product - ACTIVE] --> B[Collect attribute assignments]
+    B --> C[Compute attribute value combinations]
+    C --> D{For each combination}
+    D --> E[Check if variant already exists]
+    E -->|Exists| F[Skip]
+    E -->|New| G[Create ProductVariant record]
+    G --> H[Call item-management createItem]
+    H --> I[Link Item to ProductVariant]
+    I --> D
+    D -->|All done| J[Generation complete]
+```
+
+SKU generation logic is **injectable**. Consumers can provide a custom SKU generation strategy when configuring the module; a sensible default is shipped out of the box. The generator receives the product code, axis values, and the current variant count as input and returns a SKU string. The default strategy produces sequential numbering based on the product code, avoiding coupling to attribute value labels:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A["Product code: 'CLASSIC-TSHIRT'"] --> B["Variant count: 0"]
+    B --> C["SKU: CLASSIC-TSHIRT-001"]
+```
+
+Custom strategy examples include attribute-value slug (`CLASSIC-TSHIRT-RED-M`), prefix by brand (`ACME-CTSHIRT-001`), or hash-based (`CT-a3f8b2`).
+
+## Scenario Patterns
+
+- **Full Generation**: A product with Color (Red, Blue) × Size (S, M, L) generates 6 variants. Each variant creates an Item in item-management with a SKU produced by the configured SKU generation strategy (default: `CLASSIC-TSHIRT-001` through `CLASSIC-TSHIRT-006`)
+- **Incremental Generation**: A new color (Green) is added to a product. Re-running generation creates only the 3 new variants (Green/S, Green/M, Green/L), skipping existing ones
+- **Single Axis**: A product with only one attribute (e.g., Size: S, M, L) generates 3 variants
+- **Generation Blocked**: Attempting to generate variants from a DRAFT or ARCHIVED product is rejected
+- **Axis Structure Locked**: Once a product is ACTIVE, the set of assigned attributes is locked. New attributes cannot be assigned; only new values can be added to existing attributes
+- **Generated Item Independence**: After generation, the Item's lifecycle is independent — deactivating an Item in item-management does not affect the product or other variants
+- **Variant Traceability**: Each ProductVariant record links the product, the specific axis values, and the generated Item ID for full traceability
+
+## Test Cases
+
+- Variants can only be generated from ACTIVE products
+- Each variant represents a unique combination of attribute values
+- Duplicate combinations are skipped during generation (idempotent)
+- Each generated variant creates exactly one Item in item-management
+- Generated Item SKU is produced by the injectable SKU generation strategy (defaults to sequential numbering based on product code)
+- A custom SKU generation strategy can be provided at module configuration time
+- The strategy receives product code, axis values, and current variant count, and must return a unique string
+- The default strategy avoids coupling SKUs to attribute value labels, ensuring label updates do not create inconsistencies
+- Generated Item inherits the product's configured UoM
+- Generated Items are created in DRAFT status (requiring explicit activation in item-management)
+- ProductVariant records store the product ID, axis value combination, and generated Item ID
+- Variant generation fails atomically if any Item creation fails (no partial generation)
+- The set of assigned attributes is locked on non-DRAFT products — new attributes cannot be assigned after activation
