 ## Build/Test Commands
 - `dotnet build` - Build the project
 - `dotnet run` - Run the application (https://localhost:7xxx/swagger for API docs)
 - `dotnet clean` - Clean build outputs
-- No unit tests currently exist in this legacy codebase
+- `dotnet test` - Run unit tests
 
 ## Architecture
-- **Framework**: .NET 7 Web API (LEGACY - requires migration to .NET 8+)
-- **Database**: SQL Server LocalDB with deprecated System.Data.SqlClient driver
+- **Framework**: .NET 8 Web API (Modern LTS version)
+- **Database**: SQL Server LocalDB with Microsoft.Data.SqlClient driver
 - **Pattern**: Repository pattern with controller-based REST API
-- **Structure**: Controllers/ (API endpoints), Models/ (domain entities), Repositories/ (data access)
+- **Structure**: Controllers/ (API endpoints), Models/ (domain entities), Repositories/ (data access), Tests/ (unit tests)
 - **DI Container**: Built-in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
 
 ## Database & APIs
-- **Connection**: LocalDB via "DefaultConnection" in appsettings.json (INSECURE: Encrypt=false)
+- **Connection**: LocalDB via "DefaultConnection" in appsettings.json (SECURE: Encrypt=true)
 - **Entities**: Customer, Product, Order with CRUD operations
-- **Data Access**: Raw ADO.NET with manual resource management (legacy pattern)
+- **Data Access**: Raw ADO.NET with async/await patterns throughout
 
 ## Code Style & Conventions
 - **Namespace**: Uses project-based namespacing (LegacyECommerceApi.*)
-- **Async**: Mixed async/sync patterns (INCONSISTENT - needs standardization)
-- **Imports**: Uses deprecated System.Data.SqlClient (must migrate to Microsoft.Data.SqlClient)
+- **Async**: Fully async/await patterns standardized across all repositories
+- **Imports**: Uses modern Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (secure and maintained)
 - **Error Handling**: Try-catch with structured logging using ILogger
 - **Validation**: Data annotations on models, ModelState validation in controllers
 - **Naming**: PascalCase for public members, camelCase for parameters/locals
 
-## Critical Legacy Issues
-- System.Data.SqlClient has HIGH SEVERITY security vulnerabilities
-- .NET 7 is End-of-Life (requires .NET 8+ migration)
-- Connection string uses Encrypt=false (security violation)
-- Mixed async/sync repository methods need standardization
+## Modernization Complete
+- ✅ Upgraded to .NET 8 (resolved EOL warnings)
+- ✅ Migrated to Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (resolved security vulnerabilities)
+- ✅ Enabled connection encryption (Encrypt=true;TrustServerCertificate=true)
+- ✅ Standardized async/await patterns across all repositories
+- ✅ Added comprehensive unit test coverage
