Drop Srbija v2 — Legal Entity

Drop Srbija v2 — Legal Entity

Decision: ALAI Tech d.o.o. (D9)
Date: 2026-04-16
Status: CEO Approved (Incorporation Pending)

Entity Structure

Drop Srbija operates as a product line under ALAI Tech d.o.o., not as a separate legal entity.

Corporate Hierarchy

ALAI Holding AS (Norway, org.nr 932 516 136)
    └── ALAI Tech d.o.o. (Serbia, PIB TBD)
            ├── Drop Srbija (product brand)
            ├── Bilko (product brand)
            └── Tok (product brand)

Rationale (D9)

Context: Early Drop Srbija documentation referenced "Drop Srbija d.o.o." as a separate entity. This implied separate incorporation per product line.

Decision: Single Serbian subsidiary for all ALAI Serbian operations.

Why:

  1. Corporate Simplicity: One entity, not 3+ separate d.o.o.s
  2. Cost Efficiency: One incorporation, one tax filing, one audit (vs 3x overhead)
  3. Capital Pooling: EUR 125,000 NBS PI license capital serves all products
  4. Regulatory Efficiency: Single NBS/Poverenik/APML relationship
  5. Brand Architecture: Legal entity = ALAI Tech, product brands = Drop/Bilko/Tok

Alternatives Rejected:

Entity Details (Pending Incorporation)

Regulatory Implications

Payment Institution License

ALAI Tech d.o.o. will apply for Payment Institution (PI) license from NBS in Year 2 (after agent model Year 1 proves market fit).

Agent Registration (Year 1)

ALAI Tech d.o.o. will register as an agent of a licensed bank (target: Raiffeisen Banka or BPS) for Drop Srbija Year 1 launch.

Data Controller

ALAI Tech d.o.o. is the data controller under ZZPL (Serbian GDPR equivalent):

  1. NBS PI License Application Package — Applicant: ALAI Tech d.o.o.
  2. Privacy Policy — Data Controller: ALAI Tech d.o.o.
  3. Framework Contract — Service Provider: ALAI Tech d.o.o.
  4. DPIA — Controller: ALAI Tech d.o.o.
  5. Incident Notification Template — Reporting Entity: ALAI Tech d.o.o.

See: ~/ALAI/products/DropSrbija/legal/ (pending Lexicon final review)

Next Steps (CEO Required)

1. Incorporate ALAI Tech d.o.o.

Timeline: 4-6 weeks
Cost: ~EUR 1,500 (incorporation fees + notary)

Requirements:

2. Engage Serbian Lawyer

Role:

Estimated Cost: EUR 3,000-5,000 (incorporation + Year 1 support)

3. Register Agent Status

After incorporation:

Phase 0 — Security Hardening

Phase 0 — Security Hardening

Phase 0 — Security Hardening

Phase 0 — Security Hardening

Status: ✅ Complete
Completion Date: 2026-04-17
Lead: Parisa Tabriz (Securion)
Evidence: 5 P0 fixes, Makefile port, security CI workflow

Overview

Phase 0 addresses critical security vulnerabilities before frontend/backend implementation. All fixes are P0 (must-have) per Securion threat model.

P0 Fixes Implemented

1. CORS Configuration

Risk: Open CORS allows any origin to call API (XSS, CSRF attacks)

Fix:

Validation:

# Block unauthorized origin
curl -H "Origin: https://evil.com" http://localhost:3003/health
# → No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header

# Allow whitelisted origin
curl -H "Origin: http://localhost:3000" http://localhost:3003/health
# → Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:3000

Evidence: backend/src/test/kotlin/no/alai/dropsrbija/CORSTest.kt (3 tests passing)


2. EnvGuard (Startup Validation)

Risk: Missing env vars cause runtime failures (e.g., JWT_SECRET empty → unsigned tokens)

Fix:

Required Env Vars:

val required = listOf(
    "DATABASE_URL",
    "DATABASE_USER",
    "DATABASE_PASSWORD",
    "PORT",
    "JWT_SECRET",
    "JWT_EXPIRY_SECONDS",
    "NBS_IPS_ENDPOINT",
    "NBS_IPS_API_KEY",
    "REDIS_URL",
    "NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL",
    "NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_LANGUAGE",
    "SENTRY_DSN"  // Optional but validated if set
)

Validation:

# Missing JWT_SECRET
unset JWT_SECRET
./gradlew run
# → ERROR: Missing required env var: JWT_SECRET (exited)

# All vars present
export JWT_SECRET=test_secret_64_bytes_long
./gradlew run
# → EnvGuard: All 12 required env vars present ✓

Evidence: backend/src/test/kotlin/no/alai/dropsrbija/EnvGuardTest.kt (2 tests passing)


3. Rate Limiting

Risk: Brute-force OTP attempts, DDoS on expensive endpoints

Fix:

Implementation:

// Per-phone rate limit (OTP requests)
suspend fun checkPhoneRateLimit(phone: String) {
    val key = "otp:$phone"
    val count = redis.incr(key)
    if (count == 1L) redis.expire(key, 3600) // 1 hour TTL
    if (count > 10) throw TooManyRequestsException("Max 10 OTP requests per hour")
}

Validation:

# Trigger rate limit
for i in {1..11}; do
  curl -X POST http://localhost:3003/v1/auth/request-otp \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"phone": "+381123456789"}'
done
# → 11th request: 429 Too Many Requests

Evidence: backend/src/test/kotlin/no/alai/dropsrbija/RateLimitTest.kt (4 tests passing)


4. AuditLogger

Risk: No audit trail for sensitive actions (compliance violation, forensics gap)

Fix:

Schema:

CREATE TABLE audit_log (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    timestamp TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
    user_id UUID,  -- NULL for pre-auth events
    action VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,  -- 'login', 'otp_request', 'transaction', etc.
    resource_type VARCHAR(50),  -- 'user', 'transaction', 'kyc_session'
    resource_id UUID,
    ip_address INET,
    user_agent TEXT,
    metadata JSONB,  -- Additional context
    INDEX idx_audit_user (user_id, timestamp DESC),
    INDEX idx_audit_action (action, timestamp DESC)
);

Logged Actions:

Validation:

# Request OTP → check audit log
psql -h localhost -p 5436 -U dropsrbija -d dropsrbija_dev \
  -c "SELECT * FROM audit_log WHERE action = 'otp_request' ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 5;"
# → Shows recent OTP requests with phone, IP, timestamp

Evidence: backend/src/test/kotlin/no/alai/dropsrbija/audit/AuditLoggerTest.kt (6 tests passing)


5. Security CI Workflow

Risk: Security regressions introduced in PRs (CORS misconfigured, rate limiting bypassed)

Fix:

Workflow:

name: Security Checks
on: [pull_request, push]

jobs:
  security:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Run CORS tests
        run: ./gradlew test --tests '*CORSTest'
      
      - name: Run EnvGuard tests
        run: ./gradlew test --tests '*EnvGuardTest'
      
      - name: Run RateLimit tests
        run: ./gradlew test --tests '*RateLimitTest'
      
      - name: Run AuditLogger tests
        run: ./gradlew test --tests '*AuditLoggerTest'
      
      - name: Scan for secrets
        uses: gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2

Validation:

Evidence: .github/workflows/security.yml (exists + passing)


Makefile Port

Context: Drop Norway uses Makefile for common tasks. Drop Srbija v2 ports it to maintain developer ergonomics.

File: Makefile

Commands:

.PHONY: help build test lint clean deploy

help:  ## Show this help
	@grep -E '^[a-zA-Z_-]+:.*?## .*$$' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "}; {printf "\033[36m%-20s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}'

build:  ## Build backend + frontend
	cd backend && ./gradlew buildFatJar
	cd frontend && npm run build

test:  ## Run all tests
	cd backend && ./gradlew test
	cd frontend && npm test

lint:  ## Lint code
	cd backend && ./gradlew ktlintCheck
	cd frontend && npm run lint

clean:  ## Clean build artifacts
	cd backend && ./gradlew clean
	rm -rf frontend/.next

deploy:  ## Deploy to staging
	./scripts/deploy-staging.sh

Validation:

make help
# → Lists all commands with descriptions

make test
# → Runs backend + frontend tests (617 + 1721 passing)

Evidence: Makefile (exists, tested)


Branch Consolidation

Context: Phase 0 work scattered across feature branches. Consolidate to develop for Phase 1.

Branches Merged:

  1. feat/cors-configdevelop
  2. feat/envguarddevelop
  3. feat/rate-limitingdevelop
  4. feat/audit-loggerdevelop
  5. feat/security-cidevelop

Merge Strategy: Rebase + squash (clean linear history)

Validation:

git log --oneline develop | grep -E "(CORS|EnvGuard|RateLimit|AuditLogger|security)"
# → Shows 5 commits for Phase 0 fixes

Evidence: git log output (Phase 0 commits on develop)


Phase 0 Validation Evidence Matrix

Fix Test File Test Count Evidence Type
CORS CORSTest.kt 3 Unit tests (mock HTTP requests)
EnvGuard EnvGuardTest.kt 2 Unit tests (env var presence)
Rate Limiting RateLimitTest.kt 4 Integration tests (Redis-backed)
AuditLogger AuditLoggerTest.kt 6 Integration tests (PostgreSQL)
Security CI .github/workflows/security.yml N/A CI workflow (passes on PRs)
Makefile Manual verification N/A Command execution (smoke test)

Total Phase 0 Tests: 15 (all passing)


Security Posture Assessment

Before Phase 0

Issue Risk Level Status
Open CORS P0 ❌ Vulnerable
Missing env validation P0 ❌ Runtime failures likely
No rate limiting P0 ❌ DDoS + brute-force risk

Dependency Injection (Koin 4.0.2)

File: backend/src/main/kotlin/no/alai/dropsrbija/plugins/DI.kt

Pattern: Constructor injection via Koin modules

Example:

val appModule = module {
    single<Database> { Database.connect(/* HikariCP config */) }
    single<JwtService> { JwtService(getProperty("JWT_SECRET")) }
    single<PhoneOtpService> { PhoneOtpService(get(), get()) }
    single<TransactionService> { TransactionService(get(), get()) }
    single<NbsIpsService> { NbsIpsService(get()) }
    single<AuditLogger> { AuditLogger(get()) }
}

fun Application.configureDI() {
    install(Koin) {
        slf4jLogger()
        modules(appModule)
    }
}

Services Injected: 28 (all modules)

Ktor Plugin Ordering

File: backend/src/main/kotlin/no/alai/dropsrbija/Application.kt

Order matters (e.g., Database before Routing, Auth before protected routes):

fun Application.module() {
    // 1. Core infrastructure
    configureEnvGuard()       // Fail fast on missing env vars
    configureDI()             // Dependency injection
    configureDatabase()       // PostgreSQL connection
    
    // 2. Observability
    configureOpenTelemetry()  // Distributed tracing
    configureSentry()         // Error tracking
    configureMetrics()        // Prometheus metrics
    
    // 3. Security
    configureCORS()           // CORS headers
    configureRateLimit()      // Rate limiting (Redis)
    configureAuthentication() // JWT validation
    
    // 4. HTTP
    configureSerialization()  // JSON (kotlinx.serialization)
    configureStatusPages()    // Error handling
    
    // 5. Application
    configureRouting()        // All route modules
}

  6. Route 10% traffic to green (canary)
  7. Wait 5 minutes (monitor error rate)
  8. If error rate < 1%: Route 100% traffic to green
  9. If error rate ≥ 1%: Rollback to blue (1 command)
  10. Mark green as "blue" (for next deployment)

Rollback Time: < 5 minutes (revision swap, no rebuild)

Drop Srbija v2 — Runbooks

Drop Srbija v2 — Runbooks

Purpose: Operational procedures for common incidents and tasks.

Runbook 1: NBS IPS Outage

Source: Existing runbook (kept from v1)
File: docs/04-runbook-nbs-ips-outage.md

Symptoms

Triage

  1. Check NBS IPS status page: https://ips.nbs.rs/status (if exists)
  2. Check NBS API health:
    curl -I https://ips.nbs.rs/api/v1/health
    
  3. Check audit_log for recent NBS IPS calls:
    SELECT * FROM nbs_ips_logs 
    WHERE timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '1 hour' 
    ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 10;
    

Resolution

If NBS IPS is down (confirmed):

  1. Enable maintenance mode:
    curl -X POST https://drop.rs/v1/admin/maintenance \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
      -d '{"enabled": true, "message": "NBS IPS privremeno nedostupan. Molimo pokušajte za 30 minuta."}'
    
  2. Notify users (push notification + in-app banner):
    • Message: "NBS IPS trenutno nije dostupan. Uplate će biti omogućene čim sistem bude aktivan."
  3. Queue pending transactions (do NOT reject):
    • Backend automatically queues transactions when NBS IPS returns 5xx
    • Queue retention: 4 hours (after that, user must retry)
  4. Monitor NBS IPS recovery:
    • Check status page every 15 min
    • When NBS IPS returns 200 OK, disable maintenance mode
  5. Process queued transactions:
    curl -X POST https://drop.rs/v1/admin/queue/process \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN"
    

RTO: 0 minutes (graceful degradation, no data loss)

Runbook 4: Release & Rollback

Release (< 5 min)

Trigger: Git tag v1.1.0 pushed to main

Automated Steps (deploy-production.yml):

  1. Build Docker images (backend + frontend)
  2. Push to ACR (tag: v1.1.0 + latest)
  3. Deploy to "green" revision (Azure Container Apps)
  4. Health check green revision (GET /health)
  5. Route 10% traffic to green (canary)
  6. Wait 5 minutes (monitor error rate)
  7. If error rate < 1%: Route 100% traffic to green
  8. If error rate ≥ 1%: Rollback to blue (see below)

Manual Verification:

# Check green revision health
curl https://green--dropsrbija-backend.azurecontainerapps.io/health

# Check error rate (Grafana)
open https://grafana.drop.rs/d/errors

# Check Sentry (last 5 min)
open https://sentry.io/organizations/alai/issues/

Rollback (< 5 min)

Trigger: Error rate ≥ 1% during canary phase OR manual decision

Steps:

  1. Route 100% traffic to blue revision (previous stable):
    az containerapp revision set-mode \
      --name dropsrbija-backend \
      --resource-group dropsrbija-prod \
      --mode single \
      --revision dropsrbija-backend--v1.0.0  # Previous stable
    
  2. Deactivate green revision:
    az containerapp revision deactivate \
      --name dropsrbija-backend \
      --resource-group dropsrbija-prod \
      --revision dropsrbija-backend--v1.1.0  # Failed release
    
  3. Verify rollback:
    curl https://drop.rs/health
    # Should return version: "1.0.0" (previous stable)
    
  4. Notify team (Slack #drop-srbija):
    • "Rollback complete: v1.1.0 → v1.0.0"
    • "Investigating root cause, will retry deployment after fix"

RTO: < 5 minutes (no rebuild required, revision swap only)

CEO Decision Log

CEO Decision Log

CEO Decision Log (D9-D14)

CEO Decision Log (D9-D14)

Context: Major architectural and strategic decisions made during Drop Srbija v2 rebuild.

All decisions D1-D8 documented in existing docs/05-decision-log.md. This chapter covers v2-specific decisions D9-D14.


Date: 2026-04-16
Decision ID: D9
Status: Active (Incorporation Pending)

Context:

Early Drop Srbija documentation referenced "Drop Srbija d.o.o." as the intended legal entity for Serbian operations. This implied separate incorporation per product line (Drop, Bilko, Tok).

Decision:

Drop Srbija operates as a product line under ALAI Tech d.o.o. (single Serbian subsidiary of ALAI Holding AS). No separate "Drop Srbija d.o.o." will be incorporated.

Rationale:

  1. Corporate simplicity: One entity for all ALAI Serbian operations
  2. Cost efficiency: One incorporation, one tax filing, one audit (vs 3x overhead)
  3. Capital pooling: EUR 125,000 NBS PI license capital serves all products
  4. Regulatory efficiency: Single NBS/Poverenik/APML relationship
  5. Brand architecture: Legal entity = ALAI Tech, product brands = Drop/Bilko/Tok

Consequences:


D10: Backend — Kotlin/Ktor (ALAI Standard)

Date: 2026-04-17
Decision ID: D10
Status: Active

Context:

Drop Srbija v1 prototype used Hono (TypeScript) backend. ALAI standard mandates Kotlin/Ktor for all products (CEO decision 2026-02-25).

Decision:

Drop Srbija v2 backend uses Kotlin 2.1.0 + Ktor 3.1.2, replacing Hono/TypeScript.

Rationale:

  1. ALAI standard: All products must use Kotlin/Ktor (consistency, shared knowledge)
  2. Type safety: Kotlin compiler catches errors at compile-time (vs runtime in TypeScript)
  3. Performance: Ktor netty transport faster than Node.js event loop
  4. Ecosystem: Better PostgreSQL support (Exposed ORM vs Prisma/Drizzle)
  5. Team expertise: Petter Graff (CodeCraft lead) Kotlin expert

Alternatives Rejected:

Consequences:

Evidence:


D11: Frontend — Drop Norway 1:1 Copy

Date: 2026-04-17
Decision ID: D11
Status: Active

Context:

Two frontend strategies considered:

  1. Redesign from scratch (new UX, new components)
  2. 1:1 copy from Drop Norway (proven UX, localize for Serbia)

Decision:

Drop Srbija v2 frontend is a 1:1 copy of Drop Norway with minimal changes (NOK→RSD, BankID→OTP, Vipps→NBS IPS, nb-NO→sr-RS).

Rationale:

  1. Proven UX: Drop Norway tested with real users (positive feedback)
  2. Faster time-to-market: No need to reinvent UI patterns
  3. Focus on localization: Effort on Serbian language/culture, not design
  4. Lower risk: Known UX, fewer unknowns

Changes:

Consequences:

Evidence:


D12: JaCoCo Gate — 52% Unit-Only (Temporary)

Date: 2026-04-17
Decision ID: D12
Status: Active (Pending docker-java Fix)

Context:

ALAI standard: 60% test coverage gate. Drop Srbija v2 backend achieves 60% with unit + integration tests (Testcontainers). However, docker-java issue on M-series Macs causes Testcontainers to hang in CI (GitHub Actions).

Decision:

Temporarily lower coverage gate to 52% unit-only until docker-java issue fixed. Integration tests run locally but disabled in CI.

Rationale:

  1. Unblock CI: Cannot merge PRs if coverage gate fails due to infra issue
  2. Realistic gate: 52% unit coverage still enforces quality (better than 0%)
  3. Pending fix: docker-java PR expected Q3 2026
  4. Future restoration: Will restore 60% gate (unit + integration) once fixed

Target Timeline:

Consequences:

Evidence:


D13: Script — Latin MVP, Cyrillic Phase 2

Date: 2026-04-17
Decision ID: D13
Status: Active

Context:

Serbian language uses two scripts:

  1. Latin (latinica): Standard in tech, banking, official documents
  2. Cyrillic (ćirilica): Traditional, used in media, education

Decision:

Drop Srbija MVP uses Latin script only. Cyrillic support added in Phase 2 (post-MVP).

Rationale:

  1. Banking standard: All Serbian banks use Latin for digital interfaces
  2. NBS IPS: NBS IPS API uses Latin (IBAN, PIB, names)
  3. Tech ecosystem: Serbian tech products default to Latin (Viber, TikTok, Instagram)
  4. Faster MVP: No need for script toggle, translation duplication
  5. User preference: Research shows 80%+ young Serbians prefer Latin for digital

Phase 2 Plan:

Consequences:

Evidence:


D14: Mobile Target — Samsung Galaxy A54 (Not iPhone)

Date: 2026-04-17
Decision ID: D14
Status: Active

Context:

Drop Srbija is mobile-first (phone-based auth, QR payments). Primary test device must represent majority of Serbian users.

Decision:

Primary mobile test device: Samsung Galaxy A54 (Android), not iPhone.

Rationale:

  1. Market share: Android 78% in Serbia (Samsung dominant brand)
  2. Price point: Galaxy A54 (RSD 40,000 / ~$370) matches middle-class budget
  3. Screen size: 6.4" (Serbian users prefer larger screens)
  4. Banking apps: All Serbian banks optimize for Samsung (not iPhone)
  5. NFC support: Galaxy A54 has NFC (needed for future card payments)

iPhone Support:

Consequences:

Evidence:
