-## M9 — CLI (phred) and scaffolding
-* Tasks:
-  * Implement Symfony Console app in `bin/phred`.
-  * Generators: `create:<module>:controller`, `create:<module>:model`, `create:<module>:migration`, `create:<module>:seed`, `create:<module>:test`, `create:<module>:view`.
-  * Utility commands: `test[:<module>]`, `run`, `db:backup`, `db:restore`.
-* Acceptance:
-  * Commands generate files with correct namespaces/paths and pass basic smoke tests.
-## M10 — Security middleware and auth primitives
-* Tasks:
-  * Add CORS, Secure Headers middlewares; optional CSRF for template routes.
-  * JWT support (lcobucci/jwt) with simple token issue/verify service.
-  * Configuration for CORS origins, headers, methods.
-  * Bind FeatureFlagClientInterface with a default adapter (Flagpole); add small sample usage and env config.
-* Acceptance:
-  * CORS preflight and secured endpoints behave as configured; JWT‑protected route example works.

 ## M11 — Logging, HTTP client, and filesystem
 * Tasks:
   * Monolog setup with handlers and processors (request ID, memory, timing).
   * Guzzle PSR‑18 client exposure; DI binding for HTTP client interface.
   * Flysystem integration with local adapter; abstraction for storage disks.
+  * Standardize all core service providers with robust driver validation (similar to OrmServiceProvider).
 * Acceptance:
   * Logs include correlation IDs; sample outbound HTTP call via client; file upload/storage demo works.
 ## M12 — Serialization/validation utilities and pagination
 * Tasks:
   * REST default: Symfony Serializer normalizers/encoders; document extension points.
-  * Add simple validation layer (pick spec or integrate later if preferred; at minimum, input filtering and error shape alignment with Problem Details).
+  * Add simple validation layer using `Phred\Http\Middleware\Middleware` base.
   * Pagination helpers (links/meta), REST and JSON:API compatible outputs.
   * URL extension negotiation: add XML support
     * Provide `XmlResponseFactory` (or encoder) and integrate with negotiation.

 ## M18 — Examples and starter template
 * Tasks:
   * Create `examples/blog` module showcasing controllers, views, templates, ORM, auth, pagination, and both API formats.
+  * Ensure examples use the external stubs and module-specific CLI command conventions.
   * Provide `composer create-project` skeleton template instructions.
 * Acceptance:
   * New users can scaffold a working app in minutes following README.
