Replace persisted event statuses with publication and cancellation flags, and compute public lifecycle labels from event timing and registration capacity. Keep filters, registration checks, and profile responses aligned with the derived status.
Split backend tests into unit and integration suites, add isolated fixtures and coverage enforcement, and update CI and test documentation. Cover current authentication, content, notification, payment, media, and admin flows; fix behaviors revealed by the new tests. Validate both suites and the per-module gate against local PostgreSQL.
