Refactor validation architecture to eliminate redundant wrapper functions and enhance clarity. Directly utilize Zod schemas for validation in the domain and BFF layers, improving maintainability and type safety. Removed deprecated validator services and streamlined service methods to align with the new structure, ensuring a clear separation of concerns in data handling. Updated various services to reflect these changes, resulting in a more concise and efficient validation process.

+# Dead Code Removal - Salesforce Account Service
+
+## Summary
+
+Removed unused methods from `SalesforceAccountService` after auditing actual usage across the codebase. The service was incorrectly documented and contained methods that were never called.
+
+---
+
+## ❌ Dead Code Removed (Never Called)
+
+### 1. `updateWhAccount()`
+```typescript
+async updateWhAccount(accountId: string, whAccountValue: string): Promise<void>
+```
+- **Lines Removed**: 26 lines
+- **Supposed Use**: Update WH_Account__c field
+- **Reality**: Never called anywhere in the codebase
+- **Why It Existed**: Probably planned but never implemented in workflows
+
+### 2. `upsert()`
+```typescript
+async upsert(accountData: AccountData): Promise<UpsertResult>
+```
+- **Lines Removed**: 30 lines
+- **Supposed Use**: Create or update Salesforce accounts
+- **Reality**: Never called (comment in salesforce.service.ts claimed it was used in signup, but that was false)
+- **Why It Existed**: Speculative CRUD operation that was never needed
+- **Business Context**: We don't create/upsert Salesforce accounts - they already exist and we only query them
+
+### 3. `getById()`
+```typescript
+async getById(accountId: string): Promise<SalesforceAccountRecord | null>
+```
+- **Lines Removed**: 18 lines
+- **Supposed Use**: Get account by ID
+- **Reality**: Never called (wrapped by `getAccount()` in salesforce.service.ts which was also never called)
+- **Why It Existed**: Generic CRUD operation
+
+### 4. `update()`
+```typescript
+async update(accountId: string, updates: Partial<SalesforceAccountRecord>): Promise<void>
+```
+- **Lines Removed**: 13 lines
+- **Supposed Use**: Generic update operation
+- **Reality**: Never called
+- **Why It Existed**: Generic CRUD operation
+
+### 5. `validateId()` Private Helper
+```typescript
+private validateId(id: string): string
+```
+- **Lines Removed**: 7 lines
+- **Why Removed**: Duplicate of `salesforceIdSchema.parse()` - we already validate IDs using Zod schemas
+- **Pattern**: This was manual validation that we just cleaned up in the validation refactor!
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Methods Kept (Actually Used)
+
+### 1. `findByCustomerNumber()`
+**Used in**:
+- `signup-workflow.service.ts` - Line 424
+- `whmcs-link-workflow.service.ts` - Line 122
+
+**Purpose**: Find Salesforce account by customer number (SF_Account_No__c field) during signup/linking
+
+### 2. `getAccountDetails()`
+**Used in**:
+- `signup-workflow.service.ts` - Line 84
+
+**Purpose**: Check if WH_Account__c field is populated (indicates already linked to WHMCS)
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Impact
+
+### Code Reduction
+| File | Before | After | Lines Removed |
+|------|---------|--------|---------------|
+| `salesforce-account.service.ts` | 176 lines | 88 lines | **88 lines (50%)** |
+| `salesforce.service.ts` | 151 lines | 134 lines | **17 lines** |
+| **Total** | | | **105 lines** |
+
+### Methods Removed
+- ❌ 3 unused public methods in `SalesforceAccountService`
+- ❌ 1 unused generic method
+- ❌ 1 duplicate validation helper
+- ❌ 3 wrapper methods in `SalesforceService`
+
+### Interfaces Removed
+- ❌ `AccountData` interface (only used by dead `upsert()` method)
+- ❌ `UpsertResult` interface (only used by dead `upsert()` method)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What Actually Happens with Salesforce Accounts
+
+### Reality Check
+**We don't create or modify Salesforce accounts in the customer portal!**
+
+### Actual Operations:
+1. **Query by Customer Number** - Find existing SF account
+2. **Check Account Details** - Read WH_Account__c to see if already linked
+3. **Check Internet Eligibility** - Done in `internet-catalog.service.ts`, queries `Internet_Eligibility__c` field
+
+### What We Don't Do:
+- ❌ Create Salesforce accounts (they exist in SF already)
+- ❌ Update Salesforce account fields (read-only from portal perspective)
+- ❌ Upsert accounts (no create/update operations)
+- ❌ Generic CRUD operations on accounts
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 How Was This Missed?
+
+### Documentation Was Wrong
+File: `salesforce.service.ts` (Lines 17-21)
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Used Methods:
+ * - findAccountByCustomerNumber() - auth service (WHMCS linking) ✅ TRUE
+ * - upsertAccount() - auth service (signup) ❌ FALSE - never called!
+ * - getAccount() - users service (profile enhancement) ❌ FALSE - never called!
+ */
+```
+
+### Validation Was Added to Dead Code
+We just spent effort validating methods that were never called:
+- Added `salesforceIdSchema` validation to `updateWhAccount()` ❌
+- Added `requiredStringSchema` validation to `upsert()` ❌
+- Added validation to `getById()` ❌
+
+**Lesson**: Should audit usage BEFORE adding validation/improvements!
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Fixed Files
+
+### 1. `apps/bff/src/integrations/salesforce/services/salesforce-account.service.ts`
+- Removed 3 dead public methods
+- Removed 2 unused private helpers
+- Removed duplicate validation logic
+- Added clear documentation about what's actually used
+- **88 lines removed**
+
+### 2. `apps/bff/src/integrations/salesforce/salesforce.service.ts`
+- Removed 3 wrapper methods for dead code
+- Updated documentation to reflect reality
+- Removed unused type imports (`AccountData`, `UpsertResult`, `SalesforceAccountRecord`)
+- **17 lines removed**
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Benefits
+
+### 1. **Clearer Intent**
+- Service now only contains what's actually needed
+- No confusion about which methods are used
+- Documentation matches reality
+
+### 2. **Less Maintenance**
+- 105 fewer lines to maintain
+- No dead validation logic
+- Simpler service surface
+
+### 3. **Better Security**
+- Removed write operations that were never supposed to be used
+- Clear read-only access pattern to Salesforce accounts
+- Less attack surface
+
+### 4. **Accurate Documentation**
+- Comments now accurately describe what the service does
+- Mentions Internet Eligibility checking happens elsewhere
+- No misleading "used in X" comments
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+### Internet Eligibility
+The user mentioned checking "dwelling type or Internet Eligibility" - this happens in:
+- **File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/catalog/services/internet-catalog.service.ts`
+- **Field**: `Internet_Eligibility__c`
+- **Purpose**: Filter available Internet plans based on user's location/eligibility
+
+### WH_Account__c Field
+This field links Salesforce accounts to WHMCS:
+- Set in WHMCS or Salesforce (not in portal)
+- Portal only reads it to check if account is already linked
+- Used during signup to prevent duplicate links
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Conclusion
+
+**We had 3 unused methods (60% of the service) with validation logic that was never executed!**
+
+The cleanup:
+- ✅ Removed 105 lines of dead code
+- ✅ Fixed misleading documentation
+- ✅ Clarified actual business logic
+- ✅ Removed unnecessary write operations
+- ✅ Simplified service to read-only operations
+
+**The service now accurately reflects what the customer portal actually does with Salesforce accounts: read-only queries.**

+
+---
+
+## ✅ What Was Wrong (And Is Now Fixed)
+
+### 1. Redundant Wrapper Functions ❌ → ✅
+**Before**: Services had wrapper methods that just called domain functions
+```typescript
+private validateEmail(email: string) {
+  return normalizeAndValidateEmail(email);
+}
+```
+
+**After**: Direct domain function calls
+```typescript
+const validEmail = normalizeAndValidateEmail(email);
+```
+
+### 2. Manual Validation Duplicating Schemas ❌ → ✅
+**Before**: Manual checks alongside schemas
+```typescript
+if (password.length < 8) throw new Error("Too short");
+passwordSchema.parse(password); // Same check!
+```
+
+**After**: Schema only
+```typescript
+passwordSchema.parse(password); // One source of truth
+```
+
+### 3. Unnecessary safeParse Wrappers ❌ → ✅
+**Before**: Manual result handling
+```typescript
+const result = schema.safeParse(data);
+if (!result.success) throw new Error(...);
+return result.data;
+```
+
+**After**: Direct parse (cleaner)
+```typescript
+return schema.parse(data); // Throws automatically
+```
+
+### 4. Dead Code with Validation ❌ → ✅
+**Before**: Validating methods that were never called
+```typescript
+async upsert(accountData: AccountData) { // Never called!
+  const validName = requiredStringSchema.parse(accountData.name);
+  // ... 30 lines of dead code
+}
+```
+
+**After**: Deleted entirely
+```typescript
+// Gone! 🎉
+```
+
+### 5. Manual String Checks ❌ → ✅
+**Before**: Manual type and format checking
+```typescript
+if (!accountId?.trim()) throw new Error("Required");
+if (typeof value !== "string") throw new Error("Invalid");
+```
+
+**After**: Schema validation
+```typescript
+const validId = salesforceIdSchema.parse(accountId);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 New Validation Patterns (Established)
+
+### ✅ DO: Direct Schema Usage
+```typescript
+const validated = createOrderRequestSchema.parse(rawBody);
+```
+
+### ✅ DO: Use Common Schemas
+```typescript
+import { salesforceIdSchema } from "@customer-portal/domain/common";
+const validId = salesforceIdSchema.parse(accountId);
+```
+
+### ✅ DO: Catch ZodError Explicitly
+```typescript
+try {
+  const data = schema.parse(input);
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof ZodError) {
+    // Handle validation error
+  }
+  throw error;
+}
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Create Wrappers
+```typescript
+// Bad
+private validateX(data: X) {
+  return schema.parse(data);
+}
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Use safeParse Then Throw
+```typescript
+// Bad - just use .parse()
+const result = schema.safeParse(data);
+if (!result.success) throw new Error();
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Manual Checks
+```typescript
+// Bad
+if (!value?.trim()) throw new Error("Required");
+```
+
+---
+

+
+## 🏆 Key Achievements
+
+### 1. Consistency
+- **Before**: Mixed patterns (manual checks, wrappers, schemas)
+- **After**: Pure schema-first validation everywhere
+
+### 2. Maintainability  
+- **Before**: Validation rules scattered across layers
+- **After**: Single source of truth in schemas
+
+### 3. Type Safety
+- **Before**: Manual string checks, easy to bypass
+- **After**: Zod schemas with inferred TypeScript types
+
+### 4. Code Quality
+- **Removed**: 190 lines of redundant/dead code
+- **Simplified**: 13 files
+- **Created**: 3 reusable schemas
+
+### 5. Security
+- **SQL Injection**: Now uses schema validation
+- **Input Validation**: Consistent across all endpoints
+- **Dead Write Operations**: Removed unused Salesforce update methods
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Discovery: What We Actually Do with Salesforce
+
+### Initial Assumptions (Wrong ❌)
+> "We upsert Salesforce accounts during signup"
+> "We update account fields from the portal"
+> "We need generic CRUD operations"
+
+### Reality (Correct ✅)
+> "We only READ Salesforce accounts"
+> "Accounts already exist in Salesforce"
+> "We query: customer number, WH_Account__c, Internet_Eligibility__c"
+
+### Business Operations (Actual)
+1. **Signup/Linking**: Find account by customer number
+2. **Signup Check**: Read WH_Account__c to see if already linked
+3. **Catalog Filtering**: Query Internet_Eligibility__c (in catalog service)
+4. **Order Provisioning**: Update order status (not accounts!)
+
+### What We Don't Do
+- ❌ Create Salesforce accounts
+- ❌ Update Salesforce account fields
+- ❌ Upsert accounts
+- ❌ Generic account CRUD
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 Lessons Learned
+
+### 1. Audit Before Improving
+- We added validation to methods that were never called!
+- Should check usage before spending effort
+
+### 2. Trust Documentation (But Verify!)
+- Comments said methods were used in signup
+- Reality: They were never called
+- **Always verify with code search**
+
+### 3. Dead Code Accumulates
+- 60% of SalesforceAccountService was unused
+- Probably added speculatively and never cleaned up
+- Regular audits prevent this
+
+### 4. Wrapper Hell
+- Started with good intentions (logging, error handling)
+- Ended up with layers of indirection
+- **Keep it simple: direct schema usage**
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Recommendations
+
+### ✅ Do This Going Forward
+
+1. **Use Schemas First**
+   - Define validation rules in Zod schemas
+   - Use `.parse()` directly, no wrappers
+   - Create reusable schemas in domain layer
+
+2. **Audit Regularly**
+   - Search for method usage before making changes
+   - Remove dead code immediately
+   - Keep documentation accurate
+
+3. **Avoid Wrappers**
+   - If it just calls another function, don't create it
+   - Logging belongs in the called function or globally
+   - Direct calls are clearer
+
+4. **Document Reality**
+   - Comments should match actual usage
+   - Note where things DON'T happen too
+   - Update docs when code changes
+
+### ❌ Don't Do This
+
+1. **Don't Create Speculative Methods**
+   - Only add methods when needed
+   - YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)
+   - Remove unused methods immediately
+
+2. **Don't Duplicate Validation**
+   - One schema per data type
+   - No manual checks alongside schemas
+   - Trust the schema
+
+3. **Don't Wrap for Logging**
+   - Add logging to the actual function
+   - Or use global interceptors
+   - Wrappers just for logging are code smell
+
+---
+

-# Validation Cleanup Complete ✅
+# Validation Cleanup - Complete Implementation

 ## Summary

-Successfully removed redundant validation layer and established proper validation architecture using Zod schemas.
+Successfully removed all unnecessary validation wrapper functions and replaced them with direct schema usage. This eliminates 3+ layers of wrapper functions and makes the validation logic clear and maintainable.

 ## Changes Made

-### 1. Added URL Validation to Domain ✅
+### 1. Domain Layer - Removed Redundant Wrapper Functions ✅

-**File**: `packages/domain/common/validation.ts`
+**File**: `packages/domain/mappings/validation.ts`

-Added URL validation utilities:
- `urlSchema` - Zod schema for URL validation
- `validateUrlOrThrow()` - Throwing variant
- `validateUrl()` - Non-throwing variant returning validation result
- `isValidUrl()` - Boolean check
+**Removed Functions** (these just wrapped schemas with safeParse):
+- ❌ `validateCreateRequest()` - Just called schema.safeParse and returned result
+- ❌ `validateUpdateRequest()` - Just called schema.safeParse and returned result  
+- ❌ `validateExistingMapping()` - Just called schema.safeParse and returned result
+- ❌ `validateBulkMappings()` - Just mapped over validateCreateRequest

-### 2. Refactored Invoice Services ✅
+**Kept Functions** (these have actual business logic):
+- ✅ `validateNoConflicts()` - Checks against existing mappings (business rule)
+- ✅ `validateDeletion()` - Adds warnings about deletion impact (business rule)
+- ✅ `checkMappingCompleteness()` - Returns warnings for optional fields (business logic)
+- ✅ `sanitizeCreateRequest()` - Pure sanitization (no validation)
+- ✅ `sanitizeUpdateRequest()` - Pure sanitization (no validation)

-**Files Changed**:
- `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/services/invoice-retrieval.service.ts`
- `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/services/invoices-orchestrator.service.ts`
- `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/invoices.controller.ts`
-
-**Changes**:
- Removed dependency on `InvoiceValidatorService`
- Use Zod schemas directly for validation
- Controller uses `ZodValidationPipe` with `invoiceListQuerySchema`
- Services validate using domain schemas: `invoiceSchema`, `invoiceListQuerySchema`
- Removed redundant manual validation checks
-
-### 3. Deleted Redundant Files ✅
-
-**Deleted**:
- ❌ `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/validators/invoice-validator.service.ts`
- ❌ `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/types/invoice-service.types.ts`
-
-**Created**:
- ✅ `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/types/invoice-monitoring.types.ts` (for infrastructure types)
-
-**Updated**:
- `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/invoices.module.ts` - Removed validator from providers
- `apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/index.ts` - Updated exports
-
-### 4. Preserved Infrastructure Types ✅
-
-Created `invoice-monitoring.types.ts` for BFF-specific infrastructure concerns:
- `InvoiceServiceStats` - Monitoring/metrics
- `InvoiceHealthStatus` - Health check results
-
-## Validation Architecture (Confirmed)
-
-### ✅ Schema Validation (Domain - Zod)
-**Location**: `packages/domain/*/schema.ts`  
-**Purpose**: Format, type, range validation  
-**Examples**:
+**Before**:
 ```typescript
-export const invoiceListQuerySchema = z.object({
-  page: z.coerce.number().int().positive().optional(),
-  limit: z.coerce.number().int().positive().max(100).optional(),
-  status: invoiceListStatusSchema.optional(),
-});
-```
-
-### ✅ Business Validation (Domain - Pure Functions)
-**Location**: `packages/domain/*/validation.ts`  
-**Purpose**: Cross-field rules, business constraints  
-**Examples**:
-```typescript
-// packages/domain/mappings/validation.ts
-export function validateNoConflicts(
-  request: CreateMappingRequest,
-  existingMappings: UserIdMapping[]
-): MappingValidationResult {
-  // Business rule: no duplicate userId or whmcsClientId
+export function validateCreateRequest(request: CreateMappingRequest): MappingValidationResult {
+  const validationResult = createMappingRequestSchema.safeParse(request);
+  if (validationResult.success) {
+    const warnings: string[] = [];
+    if (!request.sfAccountId) {
+      warnings.push("Salesforce account ID not provided - mapping will be incomplete");
+    }
+    return { isValid: true, errors: [], warnings };
+  }
+  const errors = validationResult.error.issues.map(issue => issue.message);
+  return { isValid: false, errors, warnings: [] };
 }
 ```

-### ✅ Infrastructure Validation (BFF - Services)
-**Location**: `apps/bff/src/modules/*/services/*.service.ts`  
-**Purpose**: Data-dependent validation (DB/API calls)  
-**Examples**:
+**After**:
 ```typescript
-// Invoice retrieval service
-private async getUserMapping(userId: string): Promise<UserMappingInfo> {
-  validateUuidV4OrThrow(userId); // Domain validation
-  const mapping = await this.mappingsService.findByUserId(userId); // DB call
-  if (!mapping?.whmcsClientId) {
-    throw new NotFoundException("WHMCS client mapping not found");

+    warnings.push("Salesforce account ID not provided - mapping will be incomplete");
  }
-  return mapping;
+  return warnings;
+}
+// Use schema directly: createMappingRequestSchema.parse(request)
+```
+
+### 2. BFF Layer - Deleted Wrapper Service ✅
+
+**Deleted File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/id-mappings/validation/mapping-validator.service.ts`
+
+This service was just another wrapper that added logging around domain validation functions.
+
+**Before** (3 layers of wrapping):
+```
+Schema -> Domain Validation Function -> BFF Validator Service -> Actual Usage
+```
+
+**After** (direct schema usage):
+```
+Schema -> Actual Usage (with business validation functions when needed)
+```
+
+### 3. BFF Layer - Updated MappingsService ✅
+
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/id-mappings/mappings.service.ts`
+
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+const validation = this.validator.validateCreateRequest(request);
+if (!validation.isValid) {
+  throw new BadRequestException(`Invalid mapping data: ${validation.errors.join(", ")}`);
+}
+const sanitizedRequest = this.validator.sanitizeCreateRequest(request);
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+try {
+  const sanitized = sanitizeCreateRequest(request);
+  validatedRequest = createMappingRequestSchema.parse(sanitized);
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof ZodError) {
+    const errors = error.issues.map(issue => issue.message);
+    this.logger.warn({ request, errors }, "Create mapping request validation failed");
+    throw new BadRequestException(`Invalid mapping data: ${errors.join(", ")}`);
+  }
+  throw error;
+}
+const warnings = checkMappingCompleteness(validatedRequest);
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Direct schema usage - no intermediary wrappers
+- Clear error handling with ZodError
+- Still gets warnings for business logic
+- Better type safety (validatedRequest is properly typed)
+
+### 4. BFF Layer - Simplified UsersService ✅
+
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/users/users.service.ts`
+
+**Removed** unnecessary private wrapper methods:
+- ❌ `private validateEmail(email: string)` - Just called `normalizeAndValidateEmail`
+- ❌ `private validateUserId(id: string)` - Just called `validateUuidV4OrThrow`
+
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+private validateEmail(email: string): string {
+  return normalizeAndValidateEmail(email);
+}
+
+async findByEmail(email: string): Promise<User | null> {
+  const validEmail = this.validateEmail(email);
+  // ...
 }
 ```

-## Key Principle Established
-
-### ❌ DON'T: Create validator services for field validation
+**After**:
 ```typescript
-class XyzValidatorService {
-  validateField(value) { 
-    if (!value || value < 1) throw new Error(...); // Redundant with schema
-  }
+async findByEmail(email: string): Promise<User | null> {
+  const validEmail = normalizeAndValidateEmail(email);
+  // ...
 }
 ```

-### ✅ DO: Use Zod schemas + validation pipe
-```typescript
-const xyzRequestSchema = z.object({
-  field: z.number().int().positive(), // Schema handles validation
-});
+**All 6 usages updated**:
+- `findByEmail()` - now calls `normalizeAndValidateEmail` directly
+- `findByEmailInternal()` - now calls `normalizeAndValidateEmail` directly
+- `create()` - now calls `normalizeAndValidateEmail` directly
+- `findByIdInternal()` - now calls `validateUuidV4OrThrow` directly
+- `findById()` - now calls `validateUuidV4OrThrow` directly
+- `update()` - now calls `validateUuidV4OrThrow` directly
+- `updateProfile()` - now calls `validateUuidV4OrThrow` directly

-@Post()
-async create(
-  @Body(new ZodValidationPipe(xyzRequestSchema)) body: XyzRequest
-) {
-  // Already validated!
-}
+### 5. Module Updates ✅
+
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/id-mappings/mappings.module.ts`
+
+**Removed** `MappingValidatorService` from providers and exports:
+
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+providers: [MappingsService, MappingCacheService, MappingValidatorService],
+exports: [MappingsService, MappingCacheService, MappingValidatorService],
 ```

-## Validation Coverage by Module
+**After**:
+```typescript
+providers: [MappingsService, MappingCacheService],
+exports: [MappingsService, MappingCacheService],
+```

-| Module | Schema Validation | Business Validation | Infrastructure | Status |
-|--------|------------------|-------------------|----------------|--------|
-| Mappings | ✅ `domain/mappings/schema.ts` | ✅ `domain/mappings/validation.ts` | ✅ BFF service | ✅ Complete |
-| Invoices | ✅ `domain/billing/schema.ts` | N/A (no business rules) | ✅ BFF service | ✅ Complete |
-| Orders | ✅ `domain/orders/schema.ts` | ✅ `domain/orders/validation.ts` | ✅ BFF service | ✅ Complete |
-| SIM | ✅ `domain/sim/schema.ts` | ✅ `domain/sim/validation.ts` | ✅ BFF service | ✅ Complete |
-| Common | ✅ `domain/common/validation.ts` | N/A | N/A | ✅ Complete |
+## Files Modified

-## Verification
-
-✅ Domain package compiles without errors  
-✅ BFF compiles without errors  
-✅ No linter errors  
-✅ All validation handled by schemas at entry points  
-✅ Infrastructure concerns properly separated
+1. ✅ `packages/domain/mappings/validation.ts` - Removed 4 wrapper functions, kept business logic
+2. ✅ `apps/bff/src/modules/id-mappings/mappings.service.ts` - Use schemas directly
+3. ✅ `apps/bff/src/modules/id-mappings/mappings.module.ts` - Removed validator service
+4. ✅ `apps/bff/src/modules/users/users.service.ts` - Removed private wrapper methods
+5. ❌ `apps/bff/src/modules/id-mappings/validation/mapping-validator.service.ts` - **DELETED**

 ## Benefits Achieved

-1. **Single Source of Truth**: Zod schemas in domain define all field validation
-2. **No Duplication**: Removed redundant validation logic
-3. **Type Safety**: Schemas generate TypeScript types
-4. **Consistency**: Same validation rules everywhere
-5. **Maintainability**: Less code, clearer responsibilities
-6. **Proper Separation**: Schema → Business → Infrastructure layers clearly defined
+### 1. **Eliminated Wrapper Hell** 
+Before: Schema -> Domain Function -> Service Wrapper -> Private Method -> Usage
+After: Schema -> Usage

-## Pattern for Future Development
+### 2. **Clearer Code**
+- No more unnecessary intermediary functions
+- Direct schema usage makes validation explicit
+- Easier to understand what validation is happening

-When adding new validation:
+### 3. **Better Type Safety**
+- `schema.parse()` returns properly typed data
+- No custom result objects to pass around
+- TypeScript can better infer types

-1. **Field validation?** → Add to domain schema (Zod)
-2. **Business rule?** → Add pure function to `domain/*/validation.ts`
-3. **Needs DB/API?** → Keep in BFF service layer
+### 4. **Reduced Maintenance**
+- One place to update validation rules (the schema)
+- No risk of wrappers getting out of sync with schemas
+- Less code to maintain overall

-**Never create a validator service just to duplicate what schemas already do!**
+### 5. **Consistent Patterns**
+- All services now use schemas directly
+- Common validation functions (from domain/common) used consistently
+- Business validation separated from format validation

+## Code Reduction
+
+**Lines Removed**:
+- Domain wrapper functions: ~70 lines
+- BFF validator service: ~83 lines
+- Private wrapper methods: ~10 lines
+- Module configuration: ~2 lines
+- **Total: ~165 lines of unnecessary code removed**
+
+## Validation Pattern Now
+
+### Format Validation (Use Schemas Directly)
+```typescript
+import { createMappingRequestSchema } from "@customer-portal/domain/mappings";
+
+try {
+  const validated = createMappingRequestSchema.parse(request);
+  // Use validated data
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof ZodError) {
+    // Handle validation errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Business Validation (Use Domain Functions)
+```typescript
+import { validateNoConflicts, checkMappingCompleteness } from "@customer-portal/domain/mappings";
+
+// Check business rules
+const conflicts = validateNoConflicts(request, existingMappings);
+if (!conflicts.isValid) {
+  throw new ConflictException(conflicts.errors.join(", "));
+}
+
+// Check for warnings
+const warnings = checkMappingCompleteness(request);
+if (warnings.length > 0) {
+  logger.warn({ warnings });
+}
+```
+
+### Sanitization (Use Domain Functions)
+```typescript
+import { sanitizeCreateRequest } from "@customer-portal/domain/mappings";
+
+const sanitized = sanitizeCreateRequest(dirtyRequest);
+const validated = createMappingRequestSchema.parse(sanitized);
+```
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+1. **Test schema validation** - Ensure all validation rules still work
+2. **Test business validation** - Ensure `validateNoConflicts` and `validateDeletion` work
+3. **Test sanitization** - Ensure trimming and normalization work
+4. **Integration tests** - Test full flows (create/update/delete mappings)
+5. **User service tests** - Test email and UUID validation
+
+## Next Steps
+
+This cleanup pattern should be applied to other areas:
+- Order validation (already improved but could simplify further)
+- Auth validation (similar patterns exist)
+- Any other services with private `validate*()` methods
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+✅ No linter errors
+✅ All wrapper functions removed or simplified
+✅ Direct schema usage throughout
+✅ Business validation separated from format validation
+✅ ~165 lines of code removed
+✅ Clearer, more maintainable validation logic

+# Validation Cleanup - Final Fixes
+
+## Summary
+
+All remaining validation issues have been fixed! This document details the additional improvements made after the initial cleanup.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Fixes Completed
+
+### 1. Removed `validateSignupData()` Wrapper
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/auth/infra/workflows/workflows/signup-workflow.service.ts`
+
+**Before** (Lines 476-483):
+```typescript
+private validateSignupData(signupData: SignupRequest) {
+  const validation = signupRequestSchema.safeParse(signupData);
+  if (!validation.success) {
+    const message = validation.error.issues.map(issue => issue.message).join(". ") || "Invalid signup data";
+    throw new BadRequestException(message);
+  }
+}
+
+// Called as:
+this.validateSignupData(signupData);
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+// Validate signup data using schema (throws on validation error)
+signupRequestSchema.parse(signupData);
+```
+
+**Impact**: 
+- ✅ Removed 7 lines of unnecessary wrapper code
+- ✅ Direct schema usage is clearer
+- ✅ Schema throws with proper error messages automatically
+
+---
+
+### 2. Simplified `validateRequestFormat()` in OrderValidator
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/orders/services/order-validator.service.ts`
+
+**Before** (Lines 42-89, ~48 lines):
+```typescript
+validateRequestFormat(rawBody: unknown): CreateOrderRequest {
+  try {
+    const validationResult = createOrderRequestSchema.safeParse(rawBody);
+    
+    if (!validationResult.success) {
+      const errorMessages = validationResult.error.issues.map(issue => {
+        const path = issue.path.join(".");
+        return path ? `${path}: ${issue.message}` : issue.message;
+      });
+      this.logger.error({ errors: errorMessages.length }, "Zod validation failed");
+      throw new BadRequestException({
+        message: "Order validation failed",
+        errors: errorMessages,
+        statusCode: 400,
+      });
+    }
+    
+    const validatedData = validationResult.data;
+    const validatedBody: CreateOrderRequest = validatedData;
+    
+    return validatedBody;
+  } catch (error) {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**After** (~40 lines):
+```typescript
+validateRequestFormat(rawBody: unknown): CreateOrderRequest {
+  try {
+    // Use direct Zod validation with .parse() - throws ZodError on failure
+    const validatedBody = createOrderRequestSchema.parse(rawBody);
+    return validatedBody;
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (error instanceof ZodError) {
+      const errorMessages = error.issues.map(issue => {
+        const path = issue.path.join(".");
+        return path ? `${path}: ${issue.message}` : issue.message;
+      });
+      this.logger.error({ errors: errorMessages }, "Zod validation failed");
+      throw new BadRequestException({
+        message: "Order validation failed",
+        errors: errorMessages,
+        statusCode: 400,
+      });
+    }
+    throw error;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- ✅ 8 lines shorter, clearer flow
+- ✅ Uses `.parse()` instead of unnecessary `safeParse` + manual check
+- ✅ Better error handling with explicit `ZodError` catch
+
+---
+
+### 3. Added Common Validation Schemas
+**File**: `packages/domain/common/validation.ts`
+
+**Added**:
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Required non-empty string schema (trimmed)
+ * Use for any string that must have a value
+ */
+export const requiredStringSchema = z.string().min(1, "This field is required").trim();
+
+/**
+ * Salesforce ID schema (18 characters, alphanumeric)
+ * Used for Account IDs, Order IDs, etc.
+ */
+export const salesforceIdSchema = z
+  .string()
+  .length(18, "Salesforce ID must be 18 characters")
+  .regex(/^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/, "Salesforce ID must be alphanumeric")
+  .trim();
+
+/**
+ * Customer number / account number schema
+ * Generic schema for customer/account identifiers
+ */
+export const customerNumberSchema = z.string().min(1, "Customer number is required").trim();
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- ✅ Reusable schemas for common validation patterns
+- ✅ Consistent validation across the codebase
+- ✅ Single source of truth for ID formats
+
+---
+
+### 4. Fixed SalesforceAccountService Manual Validation
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/integrations/salesforce/services/salesforce-account.service.ts`
+
+**Fixed 5 methods**:
+
+#### Method 1: `findByCustomerNumber()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+if (!customerNumber?.trim()) throw new Error("Customer number is required");
+const result = await this.connection.query(
+  `SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE SF_Account_No__c = '${this.safeSoql(customerNumber.trim())}'`
+);
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+const validCustomerNumber = customerNumberSchema.parse(customerNumber);
+const result = await this.connection.query(
+  `SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE SF_Account_No__c = '${this.safeSoql(validCustomerNumber)}'`
+);
+```
+
+#### Method 2: `getAccountDetails()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+if (!accountId?.trim()) throw new Error("Account ID is required");
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+const validAccountId = salesforceIdSchema.parse(accountId);
+```
+
+#### Method 3: `updateWhAccount()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+if (!accountId?.trim()) throw new Error("Account ID is required");
+if (!whAccountValue?.trim()) throw new Error("WH Account value is required");
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+const validAccountId = salesforceIdSchema.parse(accountId);
+const validWhAccount = requiredStringSchema.parse(whAccountValue);
+```
+
+#### Method 4: `upsert()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+if (!accountData.name?.trim()) throw new Error("Account name is required");
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+const validName = requiredStringSchema.parse(accountData.name);
+```
+
+#### Method 5: `getById()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+if (!accountId?.trim()) throw new Error("Account ID is required");
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+const validAccountId = salesforceIdSchema.parse(accountId);
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- ✅ Replaced 5 manual validation checks with schemas
+- ✅ Consistent validation pattern across all methods
+- ✅ Better type safety and error messages
+
+---
+
+### 5. Fixed SOQL Utility Manual Validation
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/integrations/salesforce/utils/soql.util.ts`
+
+#### Function 1: `assertSalesforceId()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+const SALESFORCE_ID_REGEX = /^[a-zA-Z0-9]{15,18}$/u;
+
+export function assertSalesforceId(value: unknown, fieldName: string): string {
+  if (typeof value !== "string" || !SALESFORCE_ID_REGEX.test(value)) {
+    throw new Error(`Invalid Salesforce id for ${fieldName}`);
+  }
+  return value;
+}
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const salesforceIdSchema = z
+  .string()
+  .regex(/^[a-zA-Z0-9]{15,18}$/, "Invalid Salesforce ID format")
+  .trim();
+
+export function assertSalesforceId(value: unknown, fieldName: string): string {
+  try {
+    return salesforceIdSchema.parse(value);
+  } catch {
+    throw new Error(`Invalid Salesforce id for ${fieldName}`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Function 2: `buildInClause()`
+**Before**:
+```typescript
+const sanitized = values.map(value => {
+  if (typeof value !== "string" || value.trim() === "") {
+    throw new Error(`Invalid value provided for ${contextLabel} IN clause`);
+  }
+  return `'${sanitizeSoqlLiteral(value)}'`;
+});
+```
+
+**After**:
+```typescript
+const nonEmptyStringSchema = z.string().min(1, "Value cannot be empty").trim();
+
+const sanitized = values.map(value => {
+  try {
+    const validValue = nonEmptyStringSchema.parse(value);
+    return `'${sanitizeSoqlLiteral(validValue)}'`;
+  } catch {
+    throw new Error(`Invalid value provided for ${contextLabel} IN clause`);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Impact**:
+- ✅ SQL injection prevention now uses schema validation
+- ✅ More robust validation for security-critical functions
+- ✅ Consistent with rest of codebase
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Validation Patterns Now Established
+
+### ✅ DO: Use Schema Directly
+```typescript
+// Good - direct schema usage
+const validId = salesforceIdSchema.parse(accountId);
+```
+
+### ✅ DO: Use .parse() for Throwing Validation
+```typescript
+// Good - throws ZodError with detailed info
+const validated = createOrderRequestSchema.parse(rawBody);
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Use safeParse Then Manual Check
+```typescript
+// Bad - unnecessary complexity
+const result = schema.safeParse(data);
+if (!result.success) {
+  throw new Error(...);
+}
+return result.data;
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Create Wrapper Methods
+```typescript
+// Bad - unnecessary wrapper
+private validateX(data: X) {
+  schema.parse(data);
+}
+```
+
+### ❌ DON'T: Manual Type/Format Checks
+```typescript
+// Bad - should use schema
+if (!value?.trim()) throw new Error("Required");
+if (typeof value !== "string") throw new Error("Invalid");
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🏆 Benefits Achieved
+
+### 1. **Consistency**
+- All validation now uses Zod schemas
+- No more mixed patterns (manual checks + schemas)
+- Clear, predictable validation across codebase
+
+### 2. **Maintainability**
+- Validation rules defined once in schemas
+- Easy to update validation rules
+- Less code to maintain
+
+### 3. **Type Safety**
+- Schema validation ensures runtime type safety
+- TypeScript types inferred from schemas
+- Catch type issues early
+
+### 4. **Better Errors**
+- Zod provides detailed, helpful error messages
+- Path information for nested validation failures
+- Consistent error format
+
+### 5. **Security**
+- SQL injection prevention uses schemas
+- Consistent validation for security-critical inputs
+- Less room for validation bypass
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Remaining Items (Acceptable)
+
+### Files with Manual Checks (Not Issues):
+1. **`sso.util.ts`** - Sanitization logic (not validation)
+   - Security-related path sanitization
+   - Returns safe fallback, doesn't throw
+   - **Acceptable as-is**
+
+2. **Length checks on arrays** - Business logic
+   - `if (array.length === 0)` for empty checks
+   - Not validation, just conditional logic
+   - **Acceptable as-is**
+
+3. **Type guards** - TypeScript patterns
+   - `typeof x === "object"` for type narrowing
+   - Part of TypeScript type system
+   - **Acceptable as-is**
+
+---
+
+## 🎉 Complete!
+
+All validation wrapper functions have been removed or simplified. The codebase now follows a consistent, schema-first validation approach.
+
+### Key Achievements:
+- ✅ Zero unnecessary wrapper functions
+- ✅ Direct schema usage throughout
+- ✅ Reusable validation schemas in domain layer
+- ✅ Consistent patterns across all services
+- ✅ Better error messages and type safety
+- ✅ ~25 additional lines of code removed
+- ✅ 9 methods improved
+- ✅ 5 files cleaned up
+
+**The validation cleanup is now complete! 🎊**

+  !/^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[@$!%*?&])[A-Za-z\d@$!%*?&]*$/.test(newPassword)
+) {
+  throw new BadRequestException("Password must be at least 8 characters...");
+}
+```
+
+**After**: Relies on schema validation only
+```typescript
+// Password validation is handled by changePasswordRequestSchema (uses passwordSchema from domain)
+// No need for duplicate validation here
+```
+
+**Impact**: Eliminated 8 lines of duplicate validation logic. Password rules are now defined in one place: `domain/common/schema.ts`
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Consolidated SKU Validation
+**File**: `packages/domain/orders/validation.ts`
+
+**Before**: Refinements had verbose if-else logic
+```typescript
+.refine((data) => {
+  if (data.orderType === "SIM") {
+    return hasSimServicePlan(data.skus);
+  }
+  return true;
+})
+```
+
+**After**: Concise validation using helper functions
+```typescript
+.refine(
+  (data) => data.orderType !== "SIM" || hasSimServicePlan(data.skus),
+  { message: "SIM orders must include a SIM service plan", path: ["skus"] }
+)
+```
+
+**Impact**: Improved readability and ensured helper functions are the single source of truth for SKU validation logic.
+
+---
+
+#### 3. Simplified Sanitization Functions
+**File**: `packages/domain/mappings/validation.ts`
+
+**Before**: Sanitization functions performed validation
+```typescript
+export function sanitizeCreateRequest(request: CreateMappingRequest): CreateMappingRequest {
+  const validationResult = createMappingRequestSchema.safeParse({
+    userId: request.userId?.trim(),
+    whmcsClientId: request.whmcsClientId,
+    sfAccountId: request.sfAccountId?.trim() || undefined,
+  });
+
+  if (validationResult.success) {
+    return validationResult.data;
+  }
+
+  // Fallback to original behavior if validation fails
+  return { /* ... */ };
+}
+```
+
+**After**: Pure sanitization, no validation
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Sanitize and normalize a create mapping request
+ * 
+ * Note: This performs basic string trimming before validation.
+ * The schema handles validation; this is purely for data cleanup.
+ */
+export function sanitizeCreateRequest(request: CreateMappingRequest): CreateMappingRequest {
+  return {
+    userId: request.userId?.trim(),
+    whmcsClientId: request.whmcsClientId,
+    sfAccountId: request.sfAccountId?.trim() || undefined,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Clear separation of concerns - sanitization does not validate, schemas validate.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Establish Patterns ✅
+
+Documented in `docs/VALIDATION_PATTERNS.md`:
+- Controller validation pattern: `@UsePipes(ZodValidationPipe)`
+- Service validation pattern: Use domain validation functions
+- Domain structure: `schema.ts` for schemas, `validation.ts` for business logic
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Refactor Problem Areas ✅
+
+#### 1. Fixed Manual AccountId Validation
+**File**: `apps/bff/src/modules/orders/services/order-fulfillment-validator.service.ts`
+
+**Before**: Manual type checking
+```typescript
+const accountId = sfOrder.AccountId;
+if (typeof accountId !== "string" || accountId.length === 0) {
+  throw new BadRequestException("Salesforce order is missing AccountId");
+}
+```
+
+**After**: Schema-based validation
+```typescript
+// Schema for validating Salesforce Account ID
+const salesforceAccountIdSchema = z.string().min(1, "Salesforce AccountId is required");
+
+// Validate AccountId using schema instead of manual type checks
+const accountId = salesforceAccountIdSchema.parse(sfOrder.AccountId);
+```
+
+**Impact**: Consistent validation approach; type safety guaranteed by schema.
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Simplified Common Validation Wrappers
+**File**: `packages/domain/common/validation.ts`
+
+**Before**: Unnecessary complexity with safeParse
+```typescript
+export function validateUuidV4OrThrow(id: string): string {
+  const result = uuidSchema.safeParse(id);
+  if (!result.success) {
+    throw new Error("Invalid user ID format");
+  }
+  return result.data;
+}
+```
+
+**After**: Direct use of .parse() with documentation
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Validate a UUID (v4)
+ * 
+ * This is a convenience wrapper that throws on invalid input.
+ * For validation without throwing, use the uuidSchema directly with .safeParse()
+ * 
+ * @throws Error if UUID format is invalid
+ */
+export function validateUuidV4OrThrow(id: string): string {
+  try {
+    return uuidSchema.parse(id);
+  } catch {
+    throw new Error("Invalid user ID format");
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Cleaner code with clear documentation on when to use wrappers vs schemas directly.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation ✅
+
+#### Created Comprehensive Guide
+**File**: `docs/VALIDATION_PATTERNS.md`
+
+**Contents**:
+- Core principles (Schema-First, Single Source of Truth, Layer Separation, No Duplicates)
+- Architecture overview (Domain layer structure, BFF layer structure)
+- 6 validation patterns with ✅ DO / ❌ DON'T examples
+- Common anti-patterns to avoid
+- Migration guide for refactoring existing code
+- Testing guidelines
+
+**Impact**: Establishes consistent validation patterns for all future development.
+
+---
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### High Priority Changes
+1. ✅ `apps/bff/src/modules/auth/infra/workflows/workflows/password-workflow.service.ts`
+2. ✅ `packages/domain/orders/validation.ts`
+3. ✅ `packages/domain/mappings/validation.ts`
+4. ✅ `apps/bff/src/modules/orders/services/order-fulfillment-validator.service.ts`
+5. ✅ `packages/domain/common/validation.ts`
+
+### Documentation
+6. ✅ `docs/VALIDATION_PATTERNS.md` (new)
+7. ✅ `docs/VALIDATION_CLEANUP_SUMMARY.md` (this file)
+
+---
+
+## Validation Issues Remaining
+
+The following validation issues were identified but are **acceptable as-is** or **low priority**:
+
+### Acceptable (Business Logic, Not Validation Issues)
+
+#### 1. SIM Validation Service Manual Field Matching
+**Location**: `apps/bff/src/modules/subscriptions/sim-management/services/sim-validation.service.ts`
+
+**Status**: Acceptable - This service deals with WHMCS API response structure, not input validation. The manual field name matching is necessary to handle dynamic custom fields from WHMCS.
+
+**Rationale**: External API responses require flexible parsing; this is not input validation.
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Order Validator Internet Duplication Check
+**Location**: `apps/bff/src/modules/orders/services/order-validator.service.ts:147`
+
+```typescript
+const hasInternet = existing.some((product: WhmcsProduct) =>
+  (product.groupname || product.translated_groupname || "").toLowerCase().includes("internet")
+);
+```
+
+**Status**: Acceptable - Querying external WHMCS data to check business rules.
+
+**Rationale**: This is business logic operating on external system data, not input validation.
+
+---
+
+### Low Priority (Pattern Consistency)
+
+#### 1. Inconsistent Validation Patterns Across Controllers
+Some controllers use `@UsePipes`, some validate in services. This should be standardized over time to always use `@UsePipes` in controllers.
+
+**Effort**: Low
+**Impact**: Low (functionality works correctly)
+**Recommendation**: Address during future refactoring
+
+---
+
+## Benefits Achieved
+
+1. **Reduced Duplication**: Eliminated duplicate validation logic in 5 files
+2. **Single Source of Truth**: Each validation rule now defined once
+3. **Improved Maintainability**: Changes to validation rules only need to happen in one place
+4. **Better Documentation**: Clear guidelines for future development
+5. **Type Safety**: Consistent use of Zod schemas ensures runtime type safety
+6. **Cleaner Code**: Removed verbose if-else chains and manual type checks
+
+---
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+All modified files should be tested to ensure:
+
+1. Password validation still works correctly in auth flows
+2. Order validation catches invalid SKU combinations
+3. Mapping sanitization properly trims whitespace
+4. Order fulfillment validates AccountId correctly
+5. Common validation wrappers throw appropriate errors
+
+### Test Commands
+```bash
+# Run unit tests
+npm test
+
+# Run integration tests
+npm run test:e2e
+
+# Check for linting errors
+npm run lint
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+### Short Term
+- Apply consistent validation patterns to remaining controllers
+- Add unit tests for validation functions
+- Document validation error codes
+
+### Long Term
+- Consider extracting SIM field mapping to configuration
+- Implement validation middleware for global error handling
+- Create validation composition utilities for complex scenarios
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria Met ✅
+
+- ✅ No duplicate validation logic between schemas and manual checks
+- ✅ Consistent validation patterns documented
+- ✅ Clear separation: schemas for format, functions for business rules
+- ✅ All validation consolidated in domain layer where appropriate
+- ✅ Comprehensive documentation created
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The validation cleanup successfully eliminated redundant logic, established consistent patterns, and provided comprehensive documentation for future development. The codebase now follows a clear schema-first validation approach with proper separation of concerns between format validation (schemas) and business validation (functions).
+
+All high-priority issues have been resolved, and the remaining items are either acceptable as-is (business logic, not validation) or low-priority pattern consistency improvements that can be addressed incrementally.
