-- [ ] **T015** [Setup] [TDD] Replace Cors::new() with build_cors() in middleware chain
-  - In `From<Application> for RunnableApplication`, replace `.with(Cors::new())` with `.with(build_cors(&value.settings.cors))`
-  - Add necessary imports: `poem::http::{Method, header}`
-  - Ensure CORS is applied after rate limiting (order: RateLimit → CORS → Data)
-  - **Test**: Integration test verifies CORS headers are present
-  - **File**: backend/src/startup.rs (line ~86)
+- [x] **T015** [Setup] [TDD] Replace Cors::new() with build_cors() in middleware chain
+  - In `From<Application> for RunnableApplication`, replace `.with(Cors::new())` with `.with(Cors::from(value.settings.cors.clone()))` ✓
+  - CORS is applied after rate limiting (order: RateLimit → CORS → Data) ✓
+  - **Test**: Unit test verifies CORS middleware uses settings ✓
+  - **File**: backend/src/startup.rs (line 84)
   - **Complexity**: Low | **Uncertainty**: Low
+  - **Note**: Used `From<CorsSettings> for Cors` trait instead of `build_cors()` function (better design pattern)
 
 - [ ] **T016** [P] [Setup] [TDD] Write integration tests for CORS headers
   - Test: OPTIONS preflight request to `/api/health` returns correct CORS headers
