3. Verify the updated description is shown.
**Expected Result:** The board's description is updated and the change is recorded.
**Priority:** High

### TC-SA-05-01-003 — Archive a board with mapped content; delete a board with no mappings
**Type:** Positive
**Covers:** 1.1 → Delete or archive a board (archive preferred where content is mapped to it)
**Preconditions:** Board A has 3 grades, 12 subjects, and mapped courses; Board B was created in error with no mappings.
**Steps:**
1. Archive Board A and verify it becomes inactive (not selectable for new mapping) with existing content intact.
2. Delete Board B and verify it is removed.
**Expected Result:** Board A is archived (inactive, content intact); Board B is deleted (nothing mapped).
**Priority:** Critical

### TC-SA-05-01-004 — The board list shows status and the count of grades/subjects mapped to each board
**Type:** Positive
**Covers:** 1.1 → Board list with status and the count of grades/subjects mapped to it; Rule: the board list shows the mapped counts so the dependency state is visible before acting
**Preconditions:** Multiple boards exist with varying mapped counts.
**Steps:**
1. Open the board list.
2. Verify each board shows its status (active/inactive) and the count of grades/subjects mapped to it.
**Expected Result:** The board list shows each board's status and mapped counts — the dependency state is visible before acting.
**Priority:** High

### TC-SA-05-01-005 — Dependency check before delete: a board with mapped content is flagged for archive instead
**Type:** Negative
**Covers:** 1.1 → Dependency check before delete: boards with mapped content are flagged for archive instead; Rule: a board with mapped grades/subjects/content is archived, not deleted; deletion is reserved for boards with no dependencies
**Preconditions:** Board A has mapped grades, subjects, and courses.
**Steps:**
1. Attempt to delete Board A.
2. Verify the dependency check flags the board for archive instead of deletion.
**Expected Result:** Deletion is not offered cleanly for Board A; the dependency check flags it for archive instead.
**Priority:** Critical

### TC-SA-05-01-006 — Active boards are selectable for mapping; inactive/archived boards are not offered for new mapping
**Type:** Negative
**Covers:** 1.1 → Board status: active boards are selectable; inactive boards are not offered for new mapping; Rule: an active board is selectable for mapping; an inactive/archived board is not offered for new mapping
**Preconditions:** Board A is active; Board B is archived.

**Steps:**
1. Verify the existing mapped content and history remain intact while archived.
2. Re-activate Board A.
3. Verify Board A is again selectable for new mapping.
**Expected Result:** The archived board's mappings and history are preserved; re-activation restores it to selectable status.
**Priority:** High

### TC-SA-05-01-009 — Board identity (name) changes are recorded; existing mappings reference the board, not its old name
**Type:** Edge
**Covers:** 1.1 → Rule: board identity (name) changes are recorded; existing mappings reference the board, not its old name
**Preconditions:** Board "Cambridge" has mapped content; it is renamed to "Cambridge International".
**Steps:**
1. Rename the board to "Cambridge International".
2. Verify the existing mapped content still references the board (now under the new name).

2. Verify the entry shows the board, the nodes changed, and the timestamp.
**Expected Result:** The mapping change is audit-logged with the board, the nodes changed, and the timestamp.
**Priority:** Critical

### TC-SA-05-01-017 — The same grade/subject name under different boards are distinct nodes with distinct mappings
**Type:** Edge
**Covers:** 1.2 → Rule: the curriculum tree is board-specific: the same grade/subject name under different boards are distinct nodes with distinct mappings
