Swap steps 1 and 3 in CreateEnvelopeWizardPopup

Reorganize the wizard steps to prioritize "Receivers" (step 1)
before "Message and Options" (step 3). Update `_currentStep`
logic, conditional checks, and validation to reflect the new
step order. Adjust `GetStepTitle` and `GetStepDescription`
methods to align with the updated step titles and descriptions.
Ensure user input handling and step-skipping behavior are
consistent with the new flow.

+**When you need it:**
+- Planning or reviewing DB/schema changes
+- Debugging status transitions/history side effects
+- Tracing where `PRSIG_*` procedures or DB triggers affect app behavior
+- Reconciling Domain entities with physical SQL schema
+**Maintenance:** Refresh on each DB migration, trigger/procedure change, or significant Domain/EGDbContext model change.

 - Eliminate manual property-by-property request→domain mapping drift (example: `CreateEnvelopeCommandHandler`) by introducing a standardized mapping policy (AutoMapper/profile conventions or reflection/source-generator based mapper) and enforcing it across envelope workflows; this needs to be solved in the shared company Core library level so all services get the same guardrails by default.
 - P1 security workstream: remove dynamic SQL string composition/interpolation from active save/create/update paths (`string.Format`, `$"...{input}..."`, `ToSqlParam`) and migrate to parameterized queries only; treat this as a potential SQL injection vulnerability (stability + security risk), execute repo-wide audit, and add CI guardrails to block reintroduction.
 - Alternative UX design (Server component): in `EnvelopeGenerator.Server/EnvelopeGenerator.Server/Components/Pages/EnvelopeSenderPage.razor`, enforce deterministic row double-click behavior as exactly one action (preview OR edit), and keep row action buttons/tooltips aligned with the same rule to eliminate ambiguous navigation.

+### Data Structure (Domain + EGDbContext)
+
+Use this as the canonical quick map before touching sender/receiver workflow code.
+
+#### Core Aggregate Shape
+- `Envelope` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE`) is the root aggregate for sending workflow.
+- `Envelope -> Documents` is `1:N` via `Document.EnvelopeId` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE_DOCUMENT`).
+- `Envelope -> Histories` is `1:N` via `History.EnvelopeId` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE_HISTORY`).
+- `Envelope <-> Receiver` is `N:N` through `EnvelopeReceiver` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE_RECEIVER`, composite PK `{EnvelopeId, ReceiverId}`).
+- `Document -> DocReceiverElement` is `1:N` via `DocReceiverElement.DocumentId` (`TBSIG_DOCUMENT_RECEIVER_ELEMENT`).
+- `DocReceiverElement -> ElementAnnotation` is `1:N` via `ElementAnnotation.ElementId` (`TBSIG_DOCUMENT_RECEIVER_ELEMENT_ANNOTATION`).
+
+#### Status and Tracking Entities
+- `DocumentStatus` (`TBSIG_DOCUMENT_STATUS`) links `EnvelopeId + ReceiverId` and stores receiver-level signing state.
+- `History` stores timeline events (`EnvelopeStatus`) with polymorphic `UserReference` lookup semantics.
+- `EnvelopeReceiverReadOnly` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE_RECEIVER_READ_ONLY`) stores temporary read-only delegation with validity window (`DateValid`).
+
+#### Important Constraints From `EGDbContext`
+- `Envelope.Uuid` has a unique index.
+- `Receiver.Signature` has a unique index.
+- `Receiver.EmailAddress` has a unique index.
+- `EnvelopeReceiver` uses composite primary key: `{ EnvelopeId, ReceiverId }`.
+- `History.UserReference` is mapped conditionally (`IsMigration == false`) to:
+  - `Receiver.EmailAddress` (`History.Receiver`)
+  - `User.Email` from UserManager (`History.Sender`)
+- `EnvelopeReceiverReadOnly.AddedWho` maps to `Receiver.EmailAddress` (principal key mapping, not receiver GUID).
+
+#### Coordinate-Critical Fields
+- Signature placement is persisted in `DocReceiverElement` as `X`, `Y`, `Width`, `Height`, `Page`.
+- These coordinates are in INCHES (not PDF points, not pixels).
+
+#### Cross-Module Tables in Same Context
+- `EGDbContext` also includes UserManager entities: `User`, `Group`, `Module`, `GroupOfUser`, `ModuleOfUser`, `UserRep`, and `ClientUser`.
+- Mail dispatcher entity `EmailOut` is also registered under `#if NET` and trigger-configurable.
+
+#### Trigger-Aware Model Notes
+- Trigger names are injected from `DbTriggerParams` in appsettings and applied via `ToTable(tb => tb.HasTrigger(...))`.
+- Current trigger registration is explicit (`AddTrigger<T>()` calls), not attribute/reflection driven.
+- Do not remove trigger mappings casually; this project depends on DB-side automation/audit behavior.

+# Database Structure Context
+
+## Why this file exists
+
+This is the deep-dive DB reference for migration work when schema can change and old DB knowledge may be lost.
+
+- Scope: `EnvelopeGenerator.Domain` entities + `EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure/EGDbContext.cs` + live DB metadata snapshot from `DD_ECM`.
+- Goal: make schema transitions predictable (what exists, how it is linked, where logic executes).
+- Safety: all DB checks used read-only `SELECT` metadata queries; no data mutation.
+
+## Snapshot metadata
+
+- Source DB: `DD_ECM` on `SDD-VHP04-SQL19\DD_TESTING01`
+- Snapshot date: `2026-10-20`
+- App context: `EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure/EGDbContext.cs`

+  - `EnvelopeGenerator.Application/Common/SQL/EnvelopeReceiverAddReadSQL.cs`
+  - `EnvelopeGenerator.Application/Common/SQL/DocumentCreateReadSQL.cs`
+- Direct SQL execution in controller:
+  - `EnvelopeGenerator.Server/EnvelopeGenerator.Server/Controllers/EnvelopeReceiverController.cs`
+
+## Core data model (ER-level)
+
+- `Envelope` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE`) is root aggregate.
+- `Envelope (1) -> (N) Document` via `TBSIG_ENVELOPE_DOCUMENT.ENVELOPE_ID`.
+- `Envelope (1) -> (N) History` via `TBSIG_ENVELOPE_HISTORY.ENVELOPE_ID`.
+- `Envelope (N) <-> (N) Receiver` through `EnvelopeReceiver` (`TBSIG_ENVELOPE_RECEIVER`, composite PK `{ENVELOPE_ID, RECEIVER_ID}`).
+- `Document (1) -> (N) DocReceiverElement` via `TBSIG_DOCUMENT_RECEIVER_ELEMENT.DOCUMENT_ID`.
+- `DocReceiverElement (1) -> (N) ElementAnnotation` via `TBSIG_DOCUMENT_RECEIVER_ELEMENT_ANNOTATION.ELEMENT_ID`.
+- `DocumentStatus` links `Envelope + Receiver` state in `TBSIG_DOCUMENT_STATUS`.

+- Fires on history insert.
+- Central state machine side-effects:
+  - syncs `TBSIG_ENVELOPE.STATUS` for selected `100x` states,
+  - on `1003` applies Y-offset update to receiver elements,
+  - on `2005` calculates partial/fully signed and may insert follow-up `1006` history,
+  - on `2007` (type-dependent reject path) writes rejection emails into `TBEMLP_EMAIL_OUT` and updates envelope rejected state,

+- Sets `CHANGED_WHEN = GETDATE()`.
+
+5) `TBSIG_ENVELOPE_RECEIVER_READ_ONLY_UPD`
+- Fires on update of `TBSIG_ENVELOPE_RECEIVER_READ_ONLY`.
+- Updates config timestamp row (`TBSIG_CONFIG.GUID = 1`).
+
+6) `TBEMLP_EMAIL_OUT_AFT_UPD`

+- `EnvelopeReceiverReadOnly.AddedWho` entity expects `nvarchar(250)`, DB column is `varchar(100)`.
+- `EnvelopeReceiver` entity does not model DB columns `GUID` and `PARENT_ENVELOPE_RECEIVER_ID`.
+- `Envelope` entity does not explicitly model some DB columns (`VERIFICATION_TYPE`, `LANG_CODE`, `SOURCE`).
+- `EmailOut` entity has `[NotMapped] AddedWhen`, while DB has `ADDED_WHEN` column.
+
+Before schema changes, reconcile these deltas intentionally (either mapping update or documented accepted divergence).
+
+## Migration-safe operating rules
+
+- Do not rely on implicit trigger behavior; document expected side effects in feature code touching history/status flows.
+- Any change to `TBSIG_ENVELOPE_HISTORY` semantics requires trigger impact review first.
+- Keep `DbTriggerParams` synchronized with actual DB trigger inventory per environment.
+- For stored procedure changes, update both:
+  - SQL wrapper templates (`Application/Common/SQL/*`)
+  - direct SQL callers in controllers/executors.
+
+## Refresh checklist (read-only)
+
+Run these metadata checks before/after DB migration:
+
+1. Column inventory per table (`INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS`).
+2. Constraint inventory (`INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS` + `KEY_COLUMN_USAGE`).
+3. Trigger inventory (`sys.triggers`) and definitions (`OBJECT_DEFINITION`).
+4. Stored procedure inventory (`sys.procedures`) and definitions (`OBJECT_DEFINITION`).
+5. Repo call-site grep for `PRSIG_` names to detect dead or missing integration points.

+# EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure.Crypt
+
+Umfassende technische Dokumentation der PKCS#11/SoftHSM-Integration fuer `EnvelopeGenerator`.
+
+Dieses Dokument konsolidiert und ersetzt die verteilten Runbooks aus:
+
+- `pkcs11-proxy-production/README.md`
+- `pkcs11-proxy-production/SSH_TEMP_ACCESS_MUST_DO.md`
+- aeltere Abschnitte in diesem README
+
+Zielgruppe: Senior Developer, Platform Engineers, DevOps, Security Owner.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Architekturueberblick
+
+### 1.1 Ziel
+
+`EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure.Crypt` stellt die kryptographische Infrastruktur fuer PDF-Signaturen bereit:
+
+- Signaturerzeugung mit Schluesseln in SoftHSM/PKCS#11
+- Zertifikat-Auslese aus Token
+- Signaturpruefung auf PDF-Ebene
+- Health/Startup-Selbsttest fuer Betriebsfaehigkeit
+
+### 1.2 Topologie (aktueller Betriebsmodus)
+
+Der aktuell implementierte Produktions-nahe Pfad ist:
+
+1. Linux hostet SoftHSM + `pkcs11-daemon` (Proxy-Server).
+2. Windows hostet `EnvelopeGenerator.Server`.
+3. Windows laedt ein Windows-kompatibles Proxy-PKCS#11-Modul (`libpkcs11-proxy.dll`).
+4. PKCS#11-Operationen werden ueber Socket (`PKCS11_PROXY_SOCKET`) an Linux weitergeleitet.
+
+Wichtig:
+
+- Ein Windows-Prozess kann **kein Linux `.so`** direkt laden.
+- Private Keys verbleiben im Token (nicht exportierbar).
+
+### 1.3 Laufzeitpfade in der Anwendung
+
+`Pkcs11InteropBootstrap` loest Assets relativ zu `Crypt:Pkcs11:AssetsRootPath` auf:
+
+- Modul: `pkcs11\windows\proxy\libpkcs11-proxy.dll`
+- Tool-Fallback: `pkcs11\windows\opensc\tools\pkcs11-tool.exe`
+
+Wenn `AssetsRootPath` leer ist, wird `AppContext.BaseDirectory` verwendet.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Linux-Seite: SoftHSM + Proxy Setup
+
+### 2.1 Basispakete
+
+Beispiel (Debian/Ubuntu):
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y softhsm2 opensc p11-kit libengine-pkcs11-openssl
+```
+
+### 2.2 SoftHSM-Modulpfad pruefen
+
+```bash
+ldconfig -p | grep softhsm
+find /usr -name "libsofthsm2.so" 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+### 2.3 Token initialisieren
+
+```bash
+softhsm2-util --show-slots
+softhsm2-util --init-token --slot <uninitialized-slot> --label CompanyProdToken --so-pin <so-pin> --pin <user-pin>
+softhsm2-util --show-slots
+```
+
+Hinweis: Nach `--init-token` wird der Slot i. d. R. neu zugewiesen.
+
+### 2.4 Schluesselpaar erzeugen
+
+```bash
+pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so \
+  --slot <slot-id> --login --pin <user-pin> \
+  --keypairgen --key-type rsa:3072 --label company-sign-key-v1 --id 01
+```
+
+### 2.5 Zertifikat importieren
+
+```bash
+pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so \
+  --slot <slot-id> --login --pin <user-pin> \
+  --write-object ./company-sign-cert-v1.der --type cert --id 01 --label company-sign-cert-v1
+```
+
+### 2.6 Objektzustand verifizieren
+
+```bash
+pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so --slot <slot-id> --login --pin <user-pin> --list-objects
+pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so --slot <slot-id> --login --pin <user-pin> --list-objects --type cert
+```
+
+### 2.7 Proxy-Daemon endpoint stabilisieren
+
+Ein wiederkehrendes Betriebsproblem war ein zufaelliger/local-only Listener. Fix:
+

+
+## 3. Web-API/Server-Seite: Installation und Asset-Bereitstellung
+
+### 3.1 Bezugsquellen der Windows-Artefakte
+
+Fuer den Proxy-Betrieb werden auf Windows benoetigt:
+
+1. Proxy-PKCS#11-DLL (`libpkcs11-proxy.dll`)
+2. Abhaengige Runtime-DLLs (z. B. MinGW runtime, je nach Build)
+3. `pkcs11-tool.exe` + zugehoerige OpenSC-DLLs fuer Fallback
+
+Beschaffung:
+
+- Build aus derselben `pkcs11-proxy`-Codebasis/Commit wie Linux-Daemon (Kompatibilitaet sicherstellen)
+- oder kontrolliert bereitgestellte, intern freigegebene Binaries
+
+### 3.2 Empfohlene Ablage im Repo
+
+Bundled Assets liegen unter:
+
+- `EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure.Crypt/resources/pkcs11/windows/proxy/`
+- `EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure.Crypt/resources/pkcs11/windows/opensc/tools/`
+- `EnvelopeGenerator.Infrastructure.Crypt/resources/pkcs11/windows/opensc/pkcs11/`
+
+Diese werden beim Build in den Output kopiert (siehe `.csproj`-Copy-Regeln).
+
+### 3.3 Deployment-Muster
+
+Es gibt zwei gueltige Wege:
+
+1. **Bundled (Dev/QA, schnelle Reproduzierbarkeit)**
+   - Assets werden mit dem Build ausgeliefert.
+   - `AssetsRootPath = null` -> Aufloesung via `AppContext.BaseDirectory`.
+
+2. **Zentraler Asset-Root (Prod, betriebliche Kontrolle)**
+   - Assets in zentralem Pfad (z. B. `E:\DataFiles\Digital Data\EnvelopeGenerator`).
+   - `AssetsRootPath` in `appsettings.json` auf diesen Root setzen.
+
+### 3.4 Anwendungskonfiguration (`Crypt:Pkcs11`)
+
+Beispiel:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Crypt": {
+    "Pkcs11": {
+      "AssetsRootPath": "E:\\DataFiles\\Digital Data\\EnvelopeGenerator",
+      "SlotId": 2021549410,
+      "TokenLabel": "CompanyProdToken",
+      "ProxySocket": "tcp://172.24.12.64:5657",
+      "UserPin": "<secret>",
+      "PrivateKeyLabel": "company-sign-key-v1",
+      "CertificateLabel": "company-sign-cert-v1",
+      "ApplicationName": "signFLOW",
+      "DefaultReason": null,
+      "UseUtcSigningTime": true,
+      "DefaultCertificationLevel": "NoCertification"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Sicherheitsregel:
+
+- `UserPin` niemals in versionierte Dateien einchecken.
+- Secrets nur in Secret Store / nicht versionierte `appsettings.Secrets.json` / Vault.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Implementierte Services, Modelle, DTOs
+
+### 4.1 DI und Startverhalten
+
+- `AddCryptInfrastructure(...)` in `DependencyInjection/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs`
+  - bindet `Pkcs11Options`
+  - registriert `IPdfDigitalSignatureService`
+  - registriert Startup-Self-Test Hosted Service
+
+### 4.2 Konfigurationsmodell
+
+- `Pkcs11Options` (`EnvelopeGenerator.Application/Common/Configurations/Pkcs11Options.cs`)
+  - `AssetsRootPath`, `SlotId`, `TokenLabel`, `ProxySocket`
+  - `UserPin`, `PrivateKeyLabel`, `CertificateLabel`
+  - `ApplicationName`, `DefaultReason`, `UseUtcSigningTime`, `DefaultCertificationLevel`
+  - `ResolvedLibraryPath`, `ResolvedToolPath` (Runtime-resolved)
+
+### 4.3 Kernservices
+
+1. `PdfDigitalSignatureService`
+   - Signiert PDF via DevExpress `PdfDeferredSignatureBuilder`
+   - Nutzt `Pkcs11ExternalSigner` fuer externe Signatur
+   - Erzwingt `ApplicationName` aus Config (nicht client-overridable)
+   - Erweitert `Reason` um strukturiertes Metaformat:
+     - `SFMETA:v1;doc=<uuid>;sha256=<hash>`
+   - Parse beim Verify und Mapping in DTO
+
+2. `Pkcs11InteropBootstrap`
+   - Loest Modul-/Toolpfade auf
+   - Setzt `PKCS11_PROXY_SOCKET`/`PKCS11_DAEMON_SOCKET`
+   - PATH-Ergaenzung fuer native Abhaengigkeiten
+   - Warmup via `pkcs11-tool -L`
+
+3. `Pkcs11SessionRunner`
+   - Interop Library-Load mit mehreren Init-Modi (Fallback-Reihenfolge)
+   - Slot-Resolution (`SlotId`/`TokenLabel`)
+   - Session Login/Logout
+
+4. `Pkcs11ToolBridge`
+   - Fallback via Prozessaufruf von `pkcs11-tool`
+   - Cert read und DigestInfo-Signatur
+
+5. `Pkcs11StartupSelfTestHostedService`
+   - Fuehrt beim Start Interop-Probe aus
+   - Fallback-Probe bei Interop-Fehler
+   - Schreibt strukturierten Status
+
+### 4.4 Wichtige Interfaces/DTOs
+
+- `IPdfDigitalSignatureService`
+  - `SignPdfAsync(...)`, `CheckPdfSignatureAsync(...)`, `ExtractOriginalPdfAsync(...)`
+- `IPkcs11SelfTestStatusProvider`
+- `PdfSignOptionsDto`
+  - `UUID`, `Reason`, `Name`, `Location`, `Email`, `Phone`, `CertificationLevel`
+- `PdfSignatureCheckResultDto` / `PdfSignatureCheckItemDto`
+  - inklusive `BusinessReason`, `UUID`, `OriginalDocumentSha256`
+- `Pkcs11SelfTestStatusDto`
+
+---
+
+## 5. Betriebserfahrungen und Challenges
+
+### 5.1 Interop vs Tool-Verhalten
+
+Beobachtetes Muster in der realen Umgebung:
+
+- `pkcs11-tool` konnte erfolgreich auf Token zugreifen und signieren.
+- `Pkcs11Interop` scheiterte mit `CKR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED` bzw. fehlendem `C_Initialize` Pointer in bestimmten Modi.
+
+Konsequenz:
+
+- Architektur wurde auf **interop-first + controlled tool-fallback** erweitert.
+- Health-Endpunkt differenziert Modus (`interop`, `pkcs11-tool`, `failed`).
+
+### 5.2 Typische Fehlbilder
+
+- `CKR_DEVICE_ERROR` bei Socket-/Proxy-Problemen
+- `CRYPT_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE` bei Pfad/ABI/Dependency-Mismatch
+- `CRYPT_SLOT_NOT_FOUND` bei Slot-/Label-Mismatch
+- `CKR_PIN_INCORRECT` bei PIN-Fehler
+- 307 Redirects bei HTTP/HTTPS-Mix in manuellen Tests
+
+### 5.3 Plattformfallen
+
+- MSVC vs MinGW Build-Unterschiede fuer Proxy-Client
+- fehlende Laufzeit-DLLs (`PATH`/Side-by-side)
+- Architektur-Mismatch x86 vs x64
+- Daemon-Bindings nicht stabil (random localhost port statt fixed endpoint)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Health, Monitoring und Verifikation
+
+### 6.1 API Health
+
+- Endpoint: `GET /api/health/crypt`
+- Liefert:
+  - `success`, `mode`, `summary`, `interopError`, `toolError`, `checkedAtUtc`
+
+Empfehlung:
+
+- In Monitoring aufnehmen und bei `mode=pkcs11-tool` ueber laengere Zeit Warnung triggern.
+
+### 6.2 Smoke-Test (empfohlen vor Release)
+
+1. `GET /api/health/crypt` -> `success=true`
+2. `POST /api/PdfSignature/sign` mit Test-PDF
+3. `POST /api/PdfSignature/is-signed`
+4. Pruefen:
+   - `signed=true`
+   - `allSignaturesCryptographicallyValid=true`
+   - `UUID`/`OriginalDocumentSha256` korrekt gemappt
+
+---
+
+## 7. Sicherheits- und Betriebsrichtlinien
+
+### 7.1 Geheimnisse
+
+- PIN, SO-PIN, Root-Creds niemals in Doku/Screenshots/Repo.
+- Nach Troubleshooting: Credentials rotieren.
+
+### 7.2 Temporare SSH-Freigaben zwingend rueckbauen
+
+Wenn SSH temporaer geoeffnet wurde, MUSS danach Rollback erfolgen:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl disable --now ssh && sudo ufw delete allow from 172.24.10.11 to any port 22 proto tcp && sudo ufw status verbose && sudo systemctl status ssh --no-pager
+```
+
+Optional harte Bereinigung:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get purge -y openssh-server && sudo apt-get autoremove -y
+```
+
+### 7.3 Schluesselrotation
+
+- Neue Labels (`...-v2`) anlegen
+- App umkonfigurieren
+- Sign/Verify Regression testen
+- Altmaterial erst nach Freigabe entfernen
+
+---
+
+## 8. API-Verhalten bei Signaturmetadaten
+
+Aktueller Standard:
+
+- `UUID` kommt aus Sign-Input (nullable string). Wenn ungeltig/leer -> neue Guid wird erzeugt.
+- `Reason` wird intern angereichert mit strukturiertem Meta (`SFMETA:v1`).
+- `ApplicationName` ist rein serverseitig aus `appsettings` gesetzt.
+- `SigningTime` ist rein serverseitig und wird automatisch gesetzt (`UseUtcSigningTime=true` => `UtcNow`, sonst lokale Zeit).
+- `CertificationLevel` wird im Controller serverseitig gesetzt (`FormFillingAndAnnotations`), nicht vom Client.
+
+Damit ist das Verhalten deterministisch und manipulationsaermer fuer Integrationsclients.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Troubleshooting-Checkliste (praxisnah)
+
+1. Erreichbarkeit Linux Proxy:
+   - `Test-NetConnection <linux-host> -Port 5657`
+2. Token sichtbar?
+   - `pkcs11-tool --module <dll> -L -v`
+3. Zertifikat lesbar?
+   - `--read-object --type cert --label <cert-label>`
+4. Signatur technisch moeglich?
+   - `--sign -m SHA256-RSA-PKCS ...`
+5. App-Health check:
+   - `/api/health/crypt`
+6. App-sign/verify end-to-end:
+   - `/api/PdfSignature/sign` + `/api/PdfSignature/is-signed`
+
+Wenn Interop scheitert, aber Tool funktioniert:
+
+- Betrieb bleibt verfuegbar (Fallback),
+- aber Incident/Bug fuer Interop-Kompatibilitaet erfassen.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Ausblick / empfohlene Verbesserungen
+
+1. Binary Transport statt Base64 bei grossen PDFs in Render/Sign-Pipelines.
+2. Persistente Metriken fuer Fallback-Quote (`interop` vs `tool`).
+3. Zertifikatskette/OCSP/CRL Validierung als optionales Policy-Modul.
+4. CI-Pruefung auf unsichere SQL-Muster (parallel zum Security-Workstream).
+5. Standardisierte Toast/UX-Rueckmeldungen fuer Signierfehler in UI.
