## Review Complete: FAIL_AUDIT
**Reviewer**: Tinker Reviewer Agent
**Date**: 2025-12-23
**Decision**: Returned to Worker for corrections
### Critical Issues Requiring Resolution:
1. **Epic Acceptance Criteria Violation**
- AC states: "API output structure remains backward compatible"
- PR implements: Breaking change to plain JSON
- **Action Required**: Orchestrator must clarify this contradiction
2. **Missing Link Generation**
- All `link :self`, `link :transitions`, etc. removed
- Alba supports links via metadata but not implemented
- Affects tickets: #48, #49, #50, #51
3. **Known Test Failures**
- PR description admits tests will fail
- Ticket #53 AC requires: "All controller tests pass"
- Tests must be updated to pass
### Recommendation:
Before re-submission, the team should decide:
- Option A: Implement Alba with JSON:API compatible output
- Option B: Accept breaking change and update epic acceptance criteria
- Option C: Add API versioning (v1 = old format, v2 = new format)
