 ### Decisions
 
 Key decisions made during v2.0 planning:
+
 - Platform pivot: single-user to multi-user with discovery-first approach
 - External auth provider (self-hosted, open-source) — Logto vs Authentik OPEN decision
 - SQLite to Postgres migration — required by auth provider and multi-user concurrency
 - Structured UGC only — ratings and predefined fields, no freeform text until moderation
 - Separate globalItems table — not a flag on user items table
 - Single-user SQLite mode diverges at v2.0 boundary

+# Phase 18 Plan 03: User Profiles & Public Sharing Backend Summary
+
+**Profile service with CRUD and public profile data, public setup viewing, setup visibility toggle, and auth middleware bypass for public endpoints**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 7 min
+- **Started:** 2026-04-05T11:03:46Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-04-05T11:11:44Z
+- **Tasks:** 2
+- **Files modified:** 9
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- Created profile service with updateProfile, getPublicProfile, and getPublicSetupWithItems
+- Added public profile endpoint returning user info and only public setups
+- Added profile update endpoint behind auth on PUT /api/auth/profile
+- Added public setup view endpoint at GET /api/setups/:id/public (returns 404 for private)
+- Updated setup service to handle isPublic in create, update, list, and detail
+- Updated auth middleware to skip auth for public profile and setup GET requests
+- 25 tests passing (15 service + 10 route tests)
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Profile service + setup isPublic + tests (TDD)** - `2d5d4f9` (test RED), `854811d` (feat GREEN)
+2. **Task 2: Routes + auth middleware + route tests** - `eb8f4b7` (feat)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `src/server/services/profile.service.ts` - updateProfile, getPublicProfile, getPublicSetupWithItems
+- `src/server/routes/profiles.ts` - GET /:id/profile public endpoint
+- `src/server/routes/auth.ts` - Added PUT /profile with requireAuth and updateProfileSchema validation
+- `src/server/routes/setups.ts` - Added GET /:id/public endpoint using getPublicSetupWithItems
+- `src/server/index.ts` - Registered profileRoutes at /api/users, added regex auth skips
+- `src/server/services/setup.service.ts` - isPublic in createSetup, updateSetup, getAllSetups
+- `src/server/services/category.service.ts` - Added getOrCreateUncategorized (Rule 3 fix)
+- `tests/services/profile.service.test.ts` - 15 tests for profile and setup isPublic
+- `tests/routes/profiles.test.ts` - 10 tests for public profile, auth profile update, public setup
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+- Public endpoints bypass auth via regex path matching in the centralized auth middleware, not per-route
+- Profile update lives under /api/auth/profile since it requires authentication context
+- Public setup route registered before /:id in setups.ts to prevent route conflict
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Added getOrCreateUncategorized to category service**
+- **Found during:** Task 2
+- **Issue:** Auth middleware imports getOrCreateUncategorized from category.service.ts but the function didn't exist (was expected from Phase 16 multi-user conversion)
+- **Fix:** Added async getOrCreateUncategorized function that finds or creates the "Uncategorized" category for a user
+- **Files modified:** src/server/services/category.service.ts
+- **Commit:** eb8f4b7
+
+**2. [Rule 1 - Bug] Handle empty update in updateProfile**
+- **Found during:** Task 1 GREEN phase
+- **Issue:** Drizzle throws "No values to set" when .set() receives an empty object
+- **Fix:** Added check for empty updates, returning existing user without running update query
+- **Files modified:** src/server/services/profile.service.ts
+- **Commit:** 854811d
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+None beyond the auto-fixed deviations above.
+
+## Known Stubs
+
+None - all endpoints are fully wired to service functions with real database operations.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+- Profile backend complete for Plan 18-04 (client-side profile pages)
+- Public setup view ready for Plan 18-05 (discovery feed)
+- All service functions exported and tested for downstream consumption
+
