M5-10 PDF Verification Report Generation

Milestone: M5 — Disclosure and Verification SOW Reference: FR3, INT7 Requirement Clarity: ✅ Clear Dev Status: ❌ Not started — no PDF generation library exists anywhere in app/backend/package.json; the pdfS3Key column on the VerificationReport entity is currently unused dead schema

Overview

Let a Staffing Company download and save a PDF report of a verification outcome, for compliance/audit purposes — covering credentials within the whole Velocity ecosystem, not just those issued/verified via this platform.

Backend Tasks

• Add a PDF generation library (pdfkit, puppeteer, or similar) — none currently present
• Build a PDF report template covering the 5 verification checks plus credential/issuer metadata
• Wire the existing VerificationReport.pdfS3Key column up to actual storage (S3) and generation
• Per the SOW, note VerifyMyCreds already contains this capability — confirm whether that code can be reused rather than built fresh

Frontend Tasks

• Add a "Download PDF" action on the verification result view

Dependencies

• M5-09 display verification checks — the PDF mirrors this content.

Acceptance Criteria

• PDF report generated
• PDF is downloadable
• PDF includes audit evidence (per SOW Appendix 3, FR3 acceptance criteria)

Existing Reference Material

• ../../requirements/user_stories/credential-verification/pdf-report-generation.md

Blockers & Risks

• Risk: confirm the VerifyMyCreds PDF-generation code-reuse question here too — same underlying uncertainty as M5-08.
