+
+## Backup & Restore Implementer Quality Task Checklist
+
+After completing the backup and restore implementation, verify:
+
+- [ ] `backup.sh` runs end-to-end without manual intervention
+- [ ] `restore.sh` recovers a database from the latest R2 backup successfully
+- [ ] Cron job fires at the scheduled time and logs the result
+- [ ] All credentials are sourced from environment variables, never hardcoded
+- [ ] R2 endpoint URL strictly follows `https://<account_id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com` format
+- [ ] Scripts have executable permissions (`chmod +x`)
+- [ ] Log directory exists and is writable by the cron user
+- [ ] Restore script warns the user destructively before overwriting data
+
+## Task Best Practices
+
+### Security
+- Never hardcode credentials in scripts; always source from `.env` or environment variables
+- Use least-privilege IAM credentials for R2 access (read/write to specific bucket only)
+- Restrict file permissions on `.env` and backup scripts (`chmod 600` for `.env`, `chmod 700` for scripts)
+- Ensure backup files in transit and at rest are not publicly accessible
+- Rotate R2 access keys on a defined schedule
+
+### Reliability
+- Make scripts idempotent where possible so re-runs do not cause corruption
+- Abort on first failure (`set -euo pipefail`) to prevent partial or silent failures
+- Always verify upload success before deleting local temp files
+- Test restore from backup regularly, not just backup creation
+- Include a health check or dry-run mode in scripts
+
+### Observability
+- Log every operation with ISO 8601 timestamps for audit trails
+- Clearly distinguish SUCCESS and FAILURE outcomes in log output
+- Include backup file size and duration in log entries for trend analysis
+- Prepare notification hooks (e.g., webhook, email) for failure alerts
+- Retain logs for a defined period aligned with backup retention policy
+
+### Maintainability
+- Use consistent naming conventions for scripts, logs, and backup files
+- Parameterize all configurable values through environment variables
+- Keep scripts self-documenting with inline comments explaining each step
+- Version-control all scripts and configuration files
+- Document any manual steps that cannot be automated
+
+## Task Guidance by Technology
+
+### PostgreSQL
+- Use `pg_dump` with `--no-owner --no-acl` flags for portable backups unless ownership must be preserved
+- Match `pg_dump` client version to the server version running inside the Docker container
+- Prefer `pg_dump` over `pg_dumpall` when backing up a single database
+- Use `psql` for plain-text restores and `pg_restore` for custom/directory format dumps
+- Set `PGPASSWORD` or use `.pgpass` inside the container to avoid interactive password prompts
+
+### Cloudflare R2
+- Use the S3-compatible API with `aws-cli` configured via `--endpoint-url`
+- Enforce endpoint URL format: `https://<account_id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`
+- Configure a named AWS CLI profile dedicated to R2 to avoid conflicts with other S3 configurations
+- Validate bucket existence and write permissions before first backup run
+- Use `aws s3 ls` to enumerate existing backups for restore discovery
+
+### Docker
+- Use `docker exec -i` (not `-it`) when piping output from `pg_dump` to avoid TTY allocation issues
+- Reference containers by name (e.g., `statence_db`) rather than container ID for stability
+- Ensure the Docker daemon is running and the target container is healthy before executing commands
+- Handle container restart scenarios gracefully in scripts
+
+### aws-cli
+- Configure R2 credentials in a dedicated profile: `aws configure --profile r2`
+- Always pass `--endpoint-url` when targeting R2 to avoid routing to AWS S3
+- Use `aws s3 cp` for single-file uploads; reserve `aws s3 sync` for directory-level operations
+- Validate connectivity with a simple `aws s3 ls --endpoint-url ... s3://bucket` before running backups
+
+### cron
+- Use absolute paths for all executables and file references in cron entries
+- Redirect both stdout and stderr in cron jobs: `>> /path/to/log 2>&1`
+- Source the `.env` file explicitly at the top of the cron-executed script
+- Test cron jobs by running the exact command from the crontab entry manually first
+- Use `crontab -l` to verify the entry was saved correctly after editing
+
+## Red Flags When Implementing Backup & Restore
+
+- **Hardcoded credentials in scripts**: Credentials must never appear in shell scripts or version-controlled files; always use environment variables or secret managers
+- **Missing error handling**: Scripts without `set -euo pipefail` or explicit error checks can silently produce incomplete or corrupt backups
+- **No restore testing**: A backup that has never been restored is an assumption, not a guarantee; test restores regularly
+- **Relative paths in cron jobs**: Cron does not inherit the user's shell environment; relative paths will fail silently
+- **Deleting local backups before verifying upload**: Removing temp files before confirming successful R2 upload risks total data loss
+- **Version mismatch between pg_dump and server**: Incompatible versions can produce unusable dump files or miss database features
+- **No confirmation gate on restore**: Restoring without explicit user confirmation can destroy production data irreversibly
+- **Ignoring log rotation**: Unbounded log growth in `logs/pg_backup.log` will eventually fill the disk
+

+
+## Execution Reminders
+
+Good backup and restore implementations:
+- Prioritize data integrity above all else; a corrupt backup is worse than no backup
+- Fail loudly and early rather than continuing with partial or invalid state
+- Are tested end-to-end regularly, including the restore path
+- Keep credentials strictly out of scripts and version control
+- Use absolute paths everywhere to avoid environment-dependent failures
+- Log every significant action with timestamps for auditability
+- Treat the restore script as equally important to the backup script

+  - **File**: `backup.sh`
+  - **Scope**: Full error handling, `pg_dump`, compression, upload, cleanup
+  - **Dependencies**: Docker, aws-cli, gzip, pg_dump
+  - **Outcome**: Automated end-to-end backup with logging
+- [ ] **RESTORE-SCRIPT-001 [Create Restore Script]**:
+  - **File**: `restore.sh`
+  - **Scope**: Interactive backup selection, download, decompress, restore with safety gate
+  - **Dependencies**: Docker, aws-cli, gunzip, psql
+  - **Outcome**: Verified disaster recovery capability
+- [ ] **CRON-SETUP-001 [Configure Cron Schedule]**:
+  - **Schedule**: Daily at 03:00 AM
+  - **Scope**: Generate verified cron job entry with absolute paths
+  - **Logging**: Redirect output to `logs/pg_backup.log`
+  - **Outcome**: Unattended daily backup execution
+
+### Documentation Tasks
+
+- [ ] **DOC-INSTALL-001 [Create Installation Guide]**:
+  - **File**: `install.md`
+  - **Scope**: Prerequisites, setup walkthrough, troubleshooting
+  - **Audience**: Operations team and future maintainers
+  - **Outcome**: Reproducible setup from repo clone to active cron
+
+### Proposed Code Changes
+- Provide patch-style diffs (preferred) or clearly labeled file blocks.
+- Full content of `backup.sh`.
+- Full content of `restore.sh`.
+- Full content of `install.md`.
+- Include any required helpers as part of the proposal.
+
+### Commands
+- Exact commands to run locally for environment setup, script testing, and cron installation
+
+## Quality Assurance Task Checklist
+
+Before finalizing, verify:
+
+- [ ] `aws-cli` commands work with the specific R2 endpoint format
+- [ ] `pg_dump` version matches or is compatible with the container version
+- [ ] gzip compression levels are applied correctly
+- [ ] Scripts have executable permissions (`chmod +x`)
+- [ ] Logs are writable by the cron user
+- [ ] Restore script warns user destructively before overwriting data
+- [ ] Scripts are idempotent where possible
+- [ ] Hardcoded credentials do NOT appear in scripts (env vars only)
+
+## Execution Reminders
+
+Good backup and restore implementations:
+- Prioritize data integrity above all else; a corrupt backup is worse than no backup
+- Fail loudly and early rather than continuing with partial or invalid state
+- Are tested end-to-end regularly, including the restore path
+- Keep credentials strictly out of scripts and version control
+- Use absolute paths everywhere to avoid environment-dependent failures
+- Log every significant action with timestamps for auditability
+- Treat the restore script as equally important to the backup script
