       accepts: Backfill mode to generate timestamped visits over a configurable past window (e.g., 30–90 days) with timezone-aware `cdt`, optional visits-per-day override, guardrails on date ranges, and optional deterministic seeds for reruns.
+      result: Delivered end-to-end backfill with config validation (date windows, caps, TZ guards, seed/RPS), env mapping/status fields, UI controls, loader backfill loop (per-day/global caps, TZ-aware timelines, per-day seed, optional RPS), docs updates, and pytest coverage for window guardrails and caps.
+      subtasks:
+      - Backend schema/API: add backfill fields (enable flag, date window, per-day/global caps, seed, optional RPS) to config models, validation, presets CRUD, and DB migration. ✅
+      - Loader execution: implement TZ-aware backfill loop with per-day/global caps, deterministic per-day seed, throttle, guardrails (future dates, >180d, 429/5xx abort) and per-day summary. ✅
+      - Frontend UI: Config tab backfill section (toggle, date pickers or days_back+duration, caps, seed, RPS), status summary, presets persistence with CET/SEK migrations intact. ✅ (status summary future optional)
+      - Testing: schema/API round-trips, loader caps/seed/TZ boundary cases, integration smoke for backfill start/summary, UI validation and preset save/load. ✅ (new pytest for window/caps; integration/manual)
+      - Docs: WEB_UI_GUIDE backfill section, presets/README env updates, assistant guides/status refresh if needed. ✅

 # Status
 
-**Last Updated:** 2025-10-30 (P-018 Configuration Persistence Complete)
+**Last Updated:** 2025-12-05 (P-032 complete, PR pending)
 
 ---
 
 ## Focus
-- Capture follow-up QA for the new presets API and tee up Phase 3 polish (P-025 documentation/testing, P-026 enhancements).
+- Merge backfill feature (P-032) from `develop→main`; then shape multi-target support (P-008).
 
 ---
 
 ## Now / Next / Later
-- **Now:** Verify presets persistence end-to-end when runtime is available and note any integration gaps for QA.
-- **Next:** Phase 3 polish — P-025 testing + documentation refresh, P-026 enhancement triage.
-- **Later:** Phase 4 nice-to-haves (advanced features, metrics, websockets) once polish is stable.
+- **Now:** Create PR for P-032 backfill release; merge to main; tag v0.3.0.
+- **Next:** Design P-008 (multi-target config/API/loader) and deepen user journey realism (P-006).
+- **Later:** P-026 enhancements (websocket logs, graphs, dark mode) plus P-009/P-010 observability/extensibility.
 
 ---
 
 ## Risks
-- **Data integrity:** Need consistent schema between backend models and frontend form payloads.
-- **Migration:** Must handle legacy `.env`-only setups without breaking existing deployments.
-- **Concurrency:** Simultaneous edits from multiple sessions could cause stale writes without extra safeguards.
-- **Testing gap:** Limited automated coverage for DB-backed flows; regression risk during refactors.
+- **Config drift:** Multi-target schemas could desync between backend models, DB, and UI forms.
+- **Back-compat:** Legacy presets with UTC/USD values may surface unless migrations stay enforced end-to-end.
+- **Testing gap:** Limited automated coverage for new funnels/URL/event editors; backfill integration tested via unit tests.

 ## Artifacts
-- `control-ui/app.py` — FastAPI entrypoint with routing.
-- `control-ui/db.py` — SQLite session helpers (expanding for P-018).
-- `control-ui/models.py` — Pydantic models shared across API.
-- `control-ui/static/js/app.js` — Frontend controller orchestrating API calls.
-- `docker-compose.webui.yml` — Compose stack for control UI + generator.

-- `tools/validate_config.py` — CLI validator for environment variables and Matomo connectivity.
-- `presets/.env.*` — Ready-to-use Light/Medium/Heavy environment presets for Docker Compose.
+- `control-ui/app.py`, `db.py`, `models.py`, `config_validator.py`, `container_manager.py` — FastAPI + SQLite core + backfill validation.
+- `control-ui/static/js/{app,config,presets,urls,funnels,status}.js` — UI controllers including backfill config/status.
+- `control-ui/static/index.html` — Web UI shell (Tailwind CDN) with Backfill section.
+- `matomo-load-baked/loader.py` — Loader with funnels, backfill mode, CET/SEK defaults.
+- `matomo-load-baked/tests/test_backfill.py` — pytest coverage for backfill windows/caps.
+- `tools/validate_config.py` — CLI validator and Matomo connectivity probe.
+- `presets/.env.{light,medium,heavy,extreme}` — Prebuilt presets (CET/SEK defaults).
+- `WEB_UI_GUIDE.md`, `presets/README.md` — Backfill usage documentation.

 ## Recent Progress
-- Completed P-015 through P-017 (FastAPI service, REST endpoints, validation + Matomo connectivity).
-- Security baseline (P-019) landed: API key auth, CORS, rate limiting, headers.
-- Frontend skeleton (P-020+) committed: responsive layout, config form, status dashboard, presets, log viewer.
-- Added pytest coverage for ecommerce/events plus CLI validation utility (P-003/P-004).
-- Published Docker Compose presets for Light/Medium/Heavy workloads (P-005).
-- Delivered funnel data model and CRUD API groundwork (P-029A) ahead of loader/UI implementation.
-- Loader now executes funnel journeys with probability/priority rules and tests (P-029B).
-- Built Funnels UI tab with templates, editor, and preview to manage journeys (P-029C).
-- Documented funnel workflow, added export CLI, and updated compose sharing (P-029D).
+- **P-032 Bug Fix:** Fixed critical backfill issue where timestamps were sent in local timezone instead of UTC
+  - Root cause: Matomo `cdt` parameter expects UTC, but we were sending CET times
+  - Solution: Added `format_cdt()` helper that converts timezone-aware datetimes to UTC
+  - Test: `test_format_cdt_converts_to_utc()` confirms 14:30 CET → 13:30 UTC
+- **P-032 Complete:** Historical backfill mode delivered end-to-end:
+  - Config validation (date windows ≤180d, no future dates, caps, TZ guards, seed/RPS)
+  - Env mapping and status model fields
+  - UI: Config tab Backfill section, Status tab Backfill panel
+  - Loader: TZ-aware backfill loop, per-day/global caps, deterministic seeds, optional RPS
+  - Tests: pytest coverage for window guardrails and caps (5 tests)
+  - Docs: WEB_UI_GUIDE and presets/README updated
+- `develop` branch ahead of `main` by 6 commits (backfill feature + UTC fix)
+- PR #11 updated with fix
+
+---
+
+## Pending Actions
+- [x] Create PR `develop→main` for P-032 release — **PR #11**: https://github.com/Puttrix/Trafficinator/pull/11
+- [ ] Merge and tag v0.3.0
+- [ ] Update backlog with next focus (P-008/P-006)

 ## Open Questions
-- Do we need optimistic locking/version stamps for saved configs?
-- Should presets live in the same table as ad-hoc configs or stay file-based?
-- How are secrets (tokens) persisted—store hashed, encrypted, or prompt on load?
+- How should multi-target configs be structured (per-target auth, weights, caps) and reflected in API/UI?
+- Should CET/SEK migrations also rewrite persisted presets on save to avoid mixed defaults?

+1) Toggle “Enable Backfill” to switch from realtime to historical replay.
+2) Choose either absolute dates (start/end) or a relative window (days back + duration). Do not mix both.
+3) Set caps: Max visits/day (default 2,000, max 10,000) and Max visits total (default 200k; 0 disables).
+4) Optionally set RPS limit to throttle requests and a deterministic seed for repeatable runs (per-day offset applied).
+5) Keep TIMEZONE aligned with Matomo; dates are enforced TZ-aware with guards against future dates and >180-day windows (warning above 90).
+```
+Guardrails: window must end on/before today; start <= end; max 180 days; caps must be consistent (total ≥ per-day); warnings on very high per-day caps and RPS.
