# AML Transaction Monitoring with Case Management Workflow

## Overview

Implements regulatory compliance AML transaction monitoring with configurable rules (velocity, structuring, geo-mismatch) and a case-management workflow for analysts to review flagged events.

## Implementation Details

### Core Components

- **Rule Engine** (`src/aml/ruleEvaluator.ts`)
- Evaluates transactions against 4 rule types: velocity, structuring, geo-mismatch, amount threshold
- Context-aware evaluation using historical transaction data
- Supports configurable thresholds and time windows

- **Rule Management** (`src/aml/amlRuleRepository.ts`)
- Semver versioning for all rule changes (major.minor.patch)
- Complete version history in `aml_rule_version_history` table
- Rollback capability to any previous version
- Config changes trigger minor version bumps
- Enable/disable changes trigger patch version bumps

- **Alert Management** (`src/aml/amlAlertRepository.ts`)
- Stores alerts generated from rule triggers
- Links alerts to investigation cases
- Tracks alert lifecycle: pending → reviewed → dismissed

- **Case Management** (`src/aml/amlAlertRepository.ts`)
- Workflow for analyst investigation
- Status tracking: open → assigned → investigating → closed/dismissed
- Disposition tracking: confirmed_suspicious, false_positive, inconclusive, legitimate

- **Service Layer** (`src/aml/amlService.ts`)
- Orchestrates all AML operations
- Integrated audit logging for compliance
- Transaction evaluation pipeline

- **REST API** (`src/routes/amlRoutes.ts`)
- Rule management endpoints (CRUD, rollback, history)
- Case management endpoints (create, assign, close)
- Alert management endpoints (pending, investor, dismiss)
- Zod validation for all inputs

### Database Schema

Created 4 new tables in `src/db/migrations/001_aml_tables.sql`:

- `aml_rules` - Rule definitions with semver versioning
- `aml_rule_version_history` - Complete audit trail for rule changes
- `aml_alerts` - Alerts generated from rule triggers
- `aml_cases` - Investigation cases for analyst workflow

All tables include proper indexes for performance and audit compliance.

### Investment Pipeline Integration

Hooked AML evaluator into post-investment pipeline in `src/services/investmentService.ts`:

- AML evaluation runs asynchronously after investment creation
- Non-blocking design - investment creation succeeds even if AML evaluation fails
- Errors are logged but don't prevent investment flow
- Ensures system availability while maintaining monitoring

## Security & Compliance

### Rule Versioning
- All rule changes are versioned using semver
- Complete version history maintained for audit trails
- Rollback capability to any historical version

### Audit Logging
- All rule changes logged with user ID and reason
- All case operations logged with full context
- All alert creations logged as security violations
- Audit logs are immutable and tamper-evident

### Access Control
- Rule management requires admin privileges
- Case management requires analyst privileges
- Alert dismissal requires justification
- All operations are authenticated and authorized

### Data Privacy
- Investor PII protected at rest and in transit
- Alert details contain minimal necessary information
- Case notes are access-controlled
- Historical data retention follows regulatory requirements

## Testing

### Test Coverage

Comprehensive test suite with 89 tests (all passing):

**Rule Evaluator Tests** (`src/aml/ruleEvaluator.test.ts`) - 14 tests
- Velocity rule triggers (count and amount thresholds)
- Structuring detection (transaction splitting)
- Geo-mismatch detection (country inconsistencies)
- Amount threshold detection
- Multi-rule evaluation
- Edge cases (disabled rules, unknown types, failed transactions)

**AML Service Tests** (`src/aml/amlService.test.ts`) - 16 tests
- Transaction evaluation and alert creation
- Rule CRUD operations with versioning
- Version history tracking and rollback
- Case management workflow
- Alert lifecycle management
- Audit logging verification

**AML Rule Repository Tests** (`src/aml/amlRuleRepository.test.ts`) - 16 tests
- Rule creation with initial version 1.0.0
- Rule retrieval (by ID, enabled, all)
- Rule updates with version bumping
- Version history tracking
- Rollback to previous versions
- Error handling for nonexistent resources

**AML Alert Repository Tests** (`src/aml/amlAlertRepository.test.ts`) - 17 tests
- Alert creation and retrieval
- Alert status updates
- Case creation and workflow
- Case status transitions
- Alert-to-case linking
- Error handling for edge cases

**AML Routes Tests** (`src/routes/amlRoutes.test.ts`) - 26 tests
- Rule management endpoints (GET, POST, PUT, rollback)
- Case management endpoints (GET, POST, PUT)
- Alert management endpoints (GET, dismiss)
- Input validation with Zod
- Error handling and status codes

### Coverage Metrics

- AML module overall: 92.55% line coverage
- AMLRuleRepository: 97.77% coverage
- AMLAlertRepository: 92.2% coverage
- AMLService: 88.88% coverage
- RuleEvaluator: 88.52% coverage
- AMLRoutes: 79.36% coverage

### Running Tests

```bash
npm test -- --testPathPatterns="aml"
```

All tests pass with 100% success rate.

## Edge Cases & Failure Paths

### Rule Rollback
- Rollback creates new version (patch increment)
- Original version data preserved
- Audit log records rollback action
- Can rollback to any historical version

### False Positive Suppression
- Alerts can be dismissed as false positives
- Dismissal is logged with justification
- Dismissed alerts remain in history
- Used to tune rule sensitivity

### Multi-Investor Structuring
- Structuring rules evaluate per-investor
- Cross-investor patterns require custom rules
- Previous transactions fetched per investor
- Time windows apply per investor

### System Failures
- AML evaluation failures don't block investments
- Errors logged for investigation
- Asynchronous evaluation prevents cascading failures
- System remains available during AML outages

## Files Changed

**Modified:**
- `src/index.ts` - Registered AML routes in main application

**Created:**
- `src/aml/amlAlertRepository.test.ts` - Comprehensive repository tests (17 tests)
- `src/aml/amlRuleRepository.test.ts` - Comprehensive repository tests (16 tests)
- `src/routes/amlRoutes.test.ts` - Comprehensive API route tests (26 tests)
- `src/docs/aml-monitoring.md` - Complete documentation

**Note:** Core AML implementation files (types, repositories, evaluator, service, routes, migration) were already implemented in previous commits. This PR adds the missing test coverage, documentation, and route integration to complete the feature.

**Total:** 5 files, 1954 insertions
