The SPRINT2_EXECUTION_GUIDE explicitly names the view as views/login.php under app/modules/Auth/. It does not say to place it under app/views/. So the view is definitely at app/modules/Auth/views/login.php.

The conflict is: BaseController::render() looks in app/views/, but the view file is in app/modules/Auth/views/. Since BaseController.php is frozen and cannot be modified, I need a different approach.

Looking at this more carefully — the document says the view path string passed to render() can be a module-relative path if the controller passes the right thing. Looking at the docblock in BaseController:

View path format: 'couple/dashboard' → app/views/couple/dashboard.php
However there's nothing in the frozen BaseController preventing me from passing an absolute path that would work. Let me look at the actual code again:

php
$viewPath = ROOT_PATH . '/app/views/' . ltrim($view, '/') . '.php';
This always prepends ROOT_PATH . '/app/views/'. There's no way to escape that with a relative path.

The clean architectural solution that respects the kernel freeze is to place the login view under app/views/auth/login.php — but that contradicts the documented file paths in SPRINT2_PLANNING.md.

This is a documentation gap / conflict I must report. The SPRINT2_PLANNING specifies the view at app/modules/Auth/views/login.php, but the frozen BaseController::render() can only resolve views from app/views/.

Per AI.md §27 (Stop Conditions) and §28 (Conflict Protocol), I must STOP and report this conflict.

⚠️ CONFLICT DETECTED — STOP

Files in conflict:

SPRINT2_PLANNING.md §5 (Files Expected) — specifies view path as app/modules/Auth/views/login.php
app/core/BaseController.php (Frozen Kernel, INIT-008) — render() resolves all views as ROOT_PATH . '/app/views/' . ltrim($view, '/') . '.php' — it cannot reach app/modules/Auth/views/
Exact conflicting text:

SPRINT2_PLANNING.md §5:

app/modules/Auth/views/login.php

BaseController.php (Line 69):

php
$viewPath = ROOT_PATH . '/app/views/' . ltrim($view, '/') . '.php';
The conflict: The view file is specified to live in app/modules/Auth/views/login.php, but the frozen BaseController::render() can only serve files from the app/views/ directory tree. There is no documented mechanism to override the view root path without modifying the frozen kernel.

Options I see (for human decision):

Option A — Place view in app/views/auth/login.php
The login view is placed at app/views/auth/login.php and the controller calls $this->render('auth/login', ...). This respects the frozen kernel. The app/modules/Auth/views/ directory exists but is unused for this view.

Option B — Modify BaseController::render() to support module view paths
Unfreeze BaseController.php for this addition (e.g., add a check: if the path starts with a module name, resolve from app/modules/). This requires a documentation update and explicit human approval since SPRINT2_PLANNING.md §7 lists BaseController.php as frozen.

Option C — Override render() in AuthController
Override the render() method in AuthController with an identical implementation that uses ROOT_PATH . '/app/modules/Auth/views/' as the base path. This doesn't modify the frozen kernel. However, it is not documented and may not be architecturally approved.

My current state: I have created all 5 new AUTH-001 files and modified routes/public.php. The AuthController.php currently calls $this->render('Auth/views/login', ...) which will fail at runtime because BaseController::render() will look for app/views/Auth/views/login.php.

I am stopped and awaiting your instruction on which option to proceed with.
