 ## External-test boundaries
 
-The recording SMTP boundary proves the exact in-memory handoff but not Mailpit/network delivery or a browser following the link. MVC activation forms, resend, password reset, session invalidation, lock/deactivation, and production origin/readiness hardening remain separate Iteration 1 or later slices.
+The recording SMTP boundary proves the exact in-memory handoff but not Mailpit/network delivery. MVC creation, activation, login, role denial, and logout are covered separately by `AccountWebIntegrationTest`; resend, password reset, session invalidation after credential/state changes, lock/deactivation, and production origin/readiness hardening remain separate slices.

+# Test Evidence: Account creation, activation, authentication, and logout
+
+- **Test type:** Web
+- **Requirement IDs:** `ACC-008–ACC-011, ACC-014, ACC-019, AUTH-001–AUTH-002, SEC-002–SEC-004`
+- **Scenario IDs:** `AC-ACC-005, AC-ACC-007, AC-AUTH-001`
+- **Test class/method:** `com.lab.labtimesheet.feature.account.controller.AccountWebIntegrationTest.adminCreatesMentorAndInternThenMentorActivatesAuthenticatesAndLogsOut`
+- **Implementation commit:** `this milestone commit`
+
+## Protected behavior
+
+An authenticated Admin can use the account form to create pending Mentor and Intern accounts, the intended recipient can follow the emailed activation link and set a first password, normalized email login succeeds, a Mentor is denied the Admin account route, and logout clears authentication. Browser-submitted blank Intern fields do not prevent Mentor creation.
+
+## Test method
+
+MockMvc drives the production controllers, Thymeleaf templates, CSRF protection, Spring Security login/logout handlers, JPA services, and PostgreSQL 18.4. SMTP is replaced only at the network boundary by an in-memory recording probe. The test extracts the activation token from that immediate test message without logging or persisting the raw value, then exercises the public activation form.
+
+## Hand-derived expected result
+
+The Admin form returns 200. Mentor and Intern submissions redirect to `?created` and persist their immutable roles as pending accounts. Activation redirects to `/login?activated`; login with a case/whitespace variant authenticates the normalized Mentor identity. That session receives 403 at the Admin form and becomes unauthenticated after POST `/logout`.

+
+After the MVC boundary first reached GREEN, the test was tightened to submit blank Intern controls exactly as the browser form does and observed a second RED:
+
+```text

+
+## External-test boundaries
+
+This test does not contact Mailpit or an external SMTP server and is not a real browser/accessibility test. It does not cover activation resend, password reset, account lock/deactivation, session invalidation after credential/state changes, production origin configuration, containerization, CI, or deployment.
