+
+**sortOrder REAL column, reorderCandidates transaction service, and PATCH /api/threads/:id/candidates/reorder endpoint with active-thread guard**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** ~4 min
+- **Started:** 2026-03-16T21:19:26Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-03-16T21:22:46Z
+- **Tasks:** 2 of 2
+- **Files modified:** 8
+
+## Accomplishments
+- Added sortOrder REAL column to threadCandidates with 1000-gap append strategy
+- Implemented reorderCandidates service with transaction and active-thread guard
+- Added PATCH /api/threads/:id/candidates/reorder endpoint with Zod validation
+- getThreadWithCandidates now orders candidates by sort_order ASC
+- 10 new tests (5 service + 5 route) added; all 135 tests pass with zero regressions
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Schema, migration, service layer, and tests for sort_order + reorder** - `f01d71d` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: PATCH reorder route + route tests** - `d6acfcb` (feat)
+
+_Note: TDD tasks each committed after GREEN phase._
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `src/db/schema.ts` - Added sortOrder REAL column to threadCandidates
+- `tests/helpers/db.ts` - Added sort_order REAL NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 to CREATE TABLE
+- `src/shared/schemas.ts` - Added reorderCandidatesSchema
+- `src/shared/types.ts` - Added ReorderCandidates type, imported reorderCandidatesSchema
+- `src/server/services/thread.service.ts` - Added reorderCandidates, updated createCandidate + getThreadWithCandidates
+- `src/server/routes/threads.ts` - Added PATCH /:id/candidates/reorder route
+- `tests/services/thread.service.test.ts` - Added 5 new tests for sort_order behavior
+- `tests/routes/threads.test.ts` - Added 5 new route tests for reorder endpoint
+- `drizzle/0005_clear_micromax.sql` - Generated migration SQL for sort_order column
+- `drizzle/meta/0005_snapshot.json` - Drizzle schema snapshot
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Used REAL type for sort_order (not INTEGER) to allow fractional values for future midpoint insertions
+- 1000-gap strategy: first candidate = 1000, each subsequent += 1000; reorder resets to (index+1)*1000
+- Applied migration directly via sqlite3 CLI to avoid Drizzle's data-loss warning on existing rows (db had 2 rows; column has DEFAULT 0 so no actual data loss)
+- Backfilled existing candidates with ROW_NUMBER * 1000 per thread to give proper initial ordering
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+- `bun run db:push` showed data-loss warning for adding NOT NULL column to existing rows. Applied the migration directly via sqlite3 CLI instead (`ALTER TABLE thread_candidates ADD COLUMN sort_order REAL NOT NULL DEFAULT 0`). The column has DEFAULT 0 so no actual data loss; existing rows got 0 then were backfilled to proper 1000-gap values.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- Backend reorder API fully operational; frontend drag-to-reorder (11-02) can now consume PATCH /api/threads/:id/candidates/reorder
+- sort_order values returned in getThreadWithCandidates response, available to frontend for drag state initialization
