+### Feature parity checklist (OpenAPI diffs vs master)
+
+Completed:
+- Auth endpoints (`/api/v1/auth/*`) migrated to JWT with tokens/refresh cookie.
+- Household-scoped recipes/meals/shopping endpoints in place.
+- `POST /api/v1/households/{householdSlug}/recipes/parse-from-url` implemented.
+- `GET /api/v1/recipes/ingredients/parse` ported as a public stateless NLP parser returning `Ingredient[]`.
+
+Outstanding (tracked):
+- None identified blocking parity for shopping/recipes needed by the frontend as of 2025-11-01. Re-check if any v1 product scrape/create endpoint needs re-exposure; current frontend uses household flows and parsing utilities.
     - **Bootstrap Update**: Modify `db.py` so that a fresh database bootstrap (`db.create_schema`) calls the `create()` functions for the new repositories and *not* the old `persons` repository.
   - ✅ **Indices/Constraints**: Enforced unique `Household.slug`; added `idx_*_household_id` indices; foreign keys added with `ON DELETE CASCADE` where applicable in new tables.
   - ✅ **Acceptance (initial)**: Added `tests/test_migration_households.py` covering: new tables exist, `household_id` columns exist, default household created, and data porting from `Person` to `User` and `HouseholdMember`. Full test suite passes.
