+## Dev Notes
+
+### Issues Identified from Story 1.4
+1. **Keycloak Realm Import Failures**
+   ```
+   ERROR: Unable to find composite realm role: uma_authorization
+   Referenced client scope 'roles' doesn't exist
+   Referenced client scope 'web-origins' doesn't exist
+   ```
+
+2. **Missing Configuration Files**
+   - No `.env.example` file despite story mentioning environment variables
+   - Manual setup steps not documented
+
+3. **Package Version Conflicts**
+   - Multiple Microsoft.IdentityModel package version warnings
+   - Test project has version conflicts (6.35.0 vs 7.0.3)
+
+4. **Untested Integration Points**
+   - JWT token flow from Blazor to API never validated
+   - Logout functionality not tested end-to-end
+   - Error scenarios not covered
+
+### Testing Environment Requirements
+- Clean Docker environment for reliable testing
+- Test user accounts in Keycloak
+- Isolated test database
+- Network connectivity for container-to-container communication
+
+### Success Criteria
+- All authentication flows work without manual intervention
+- Automated tests validate critical scenarios
+- Production deployment documentation complete
+- No package version conflicts or build warnings
+- Performance meets acceptable thresholds
+
+## Acceptance Testing
+To verify successful completion:
+1. Fresh `docker-compose up` starts all services successfully
+2. Keycloak realm and clients are automatically configured
+3. Login flow works: Blazor → Keycloak → back to Blazor with user context
+4. API calls include JWT tokens and validate successfully
+5. Logout clears all sessions and returns to login
+6. Automated tests pass in CI/CD pipeline
+7. Production deployment checklist complete
+
+## Security Considerations
+- Validate all authentication flows for security best practices
+- Ensure no sensitive information is logged
+- Verify proper token expiration and refresh
+- Confirm secure defaults for production deployment
+- Test authentication bypass scenarios

+# Story 1.4-R: Authentication Configuration Remediation
+
+## Status
+Ready
+
+## Story
+**As a** developer,  
+**I want** the authentication system from Story 1.4 to be immediately usable without manual configuration,  
+**so that** I can start development work that depends on authentication without encountering setup blockers.
+
+## Dependencies
+- Story 1.4: Basic Authentication Setup (Complete - Implementation)
+
+## Background
+Story 1.4 successfully implemented the complete authentication system, but analysis revealed critical gaps that prevent immediate productive use:
+
+1. **Missing Docker configuration** prevents container startup
+2. **Environment configuration gaps** require manual intervention  
+3. **Package version conflicts** create build warnings
+4. **Missing documentation** for immediate development use
+
+This remediation focuses **only on critical blockers** that prevent the authentication system from being immediately usable for development.

+
+## Dev Notes
+
+### Critical Blockers Identified
+Based on reality audit of Story 1.4, these items prevent immediate usability:
+
+1. **Docker Configuration Missing**
+   - docker-compose.yml references Dockerfiles that may not exist
+   - Container build failures prevent system startup
+
+2. **Environment Variables Incomplete**  
+   - Story mentions `.env.example` but file doesn't exist
+   - Hardcoded values in docker-compose prevent customization
+
+3. **Package Conflicts**
+   - Microsoft.IdentityModel version warnings indicate potential runtime issues
+   - Build warnings reduce confidence in stability
+
+4. **Keycloak Import Issues**
+   - Realm import automation partially failing
+   - Requires specific client configuration for development use
+
+### Out of Scope
+This remediation **explicitly excludes**:
+- Comprehensive integration testing (Story 1.4b)
+- Performance optimization
+- Production deployment configuration
+- Advanced security features
+- New authentication features
+
+### Success Metrics
+- [ ] New developer can run `git clone` → `docker-compose up` → working authentication
+- [ ] Zero manual configuration steps required for basic development
+- [ ] All build warnings resolved
+- [ ] Clear documentation for next steps
+
+## Acceptance Testing
+To verify successful remediation:
+1. **Fresh Environment Test**: Clone repository on clean machine
+2. **One-Command Startup**: `docker-compose up` succeeds completely  
+3. **Authentication Works**: Can access protected pages through Keycloak
+4. **No Manual Steps**: No additional configuration required
+5. **Clean Build**: No warnings or errors in build output
+
+## Technical Requirements
+- All containers start successfully
+- Keycloak realm imports automatically
+- JWT authentication validates correctly
+- Blazor authentication redirects work
+- Health endpoints respond properly
+- No package version conflicts
+
+## Time Estimate
+**1-2 days** focused remediation work
+
+### Task Breakdown
+- Task 1 (Docker): 4-6 hours
+- Task 2 (Packages): 1-2 hours  
+- Task 3 (Environment): 2-3 hours
+- Task 4 (Keycloak): 3-4 hours
+- Task 5 (Documentation): 2-3 hours
+- Task 6 (Smoke Tests): 2-3 hours
+
+### Risk Factors
+- Docker configuration complexity
+- Keycloak realm import unpredictability
+- Package dependency resolution
