feat(launch): security and correctness fixes for 2026-05-01 launch

Day-of-launch deep-dive audit and remediation. 11 issues fixed across
security, correctness, and reliability. Tests: 698 → 758 passing
(+60), 0 failing, 2 skipped.

CRITICAL (security)

Fix #1 — HELCIM_API_TOKEN removed from runtimeConfig.public; dead
useHelcim.js deleted. Production token MUST BE ROTATED post-deploy
(was previously exposed in window.__NUXT__ payload).

Fix #2 — /api/helcim/customer gated with origin check + per-IP/email
rate limit + magic-link email verification (replaces unauthenticated
setAuthCookie). Adds payment-bridge token for paid-tier signup so
users can complete Helcim checkout before email verify. New utils:
server/utils/{magicLink,rateLimit}.js. UX: signup success copy now
prompts user to check email.

Fix #3 — /api/events/[id]/payment deleted (dead code with unauth
member-spoof bypass — processHelcimPayment was a permanent stub).
Removes processHelcimPayment export and eventPaymentSchema.

Fix #4 — /api/helcim/initialize-payment re-derives ticket amount
server-side via calculateTicketPrice and calculateSeriesTicketPrice.
Adds new series_ticket metadata type (was being shoved through
event_ticket with seriesId in metadata.eventId).

Fix #5 — /api/helcim/customer upgrades existing status:guest members
in place rather than rejecting with 409. Lowercases email at lookup;
preserves _id so prior event registrations stay linked.

HIGH (correctness / reliability)

Fix #6 — Daily reconciliation cron via Netlify scheduled function
(@daily). New: netlify.toml, netlify/functions/reconcile-payments.mjs,
server/api/internal/reconcile-payments.post.js. Shared-secret auth
via NUXT_RECONCILE_TOKEN env var. Inline 3-retry exponential backoff
on Helcim transactions API.

Fix #7 — validateBeforeSave: false on event subdoc saves (waitlist
endpoints) to dodge legacy location validators.

Fix #8 — /api/series/[id]/tickets/purchase always upserts a guest
Member when caller is unauthenticated, mirrors event-ticket flow
byte-for-byte. SeriesPassPurchase.vue adds guest-account hint and
client auth refresh on signedIn:true response.

Fix #9 — /api/members/cancel-subscription leaves status active per
ratified bylaws (was pending_payment). Adds lastCancelledAt audit
field on Member model. Indirectly fixes false-positive
detectStuckPendingPayment admin alert for cancelled members.

Fix #10 — /api/auth/verify uses validateBody with strict() Zod schema
(verifyMagicLinkSchema, max 2000 chars).

Fix #11 — 8 vitest cases for cancel-subscription handler (was
uncovered).

+- Vitest snapshot 2026-04-25 ~18:23 local: **703 passing / 8 failing / 2 skipped (713 total)**. The previously-flagged 6 helcim-payment failures are now green. The 8 current failures are in `tests/server/api/auth-verify.test.js` and `tests/server/api/cancel-subscription.smoke.test.js`, both belonging to in-flight Phase 5 fixes (#10 and #9) being landed by parallel impl subagents — they will resolve as those branches merge.

 - [ ] **Prod audit for pre-fix series-pass bypass registrations.** Fixed in `f34b062` + `4e1888a` (2026-04-20). Before that, child events of pass-only series (`tickets.requiresSeriesTicket=true && tickets.allowIndividualEventTickets=false`) accepted drop-in registrations from non-pass-holders. For every such series, list its child-event `registrations` where the registrant is not in the parent series' pass-holder list, filter to `registeredAt < 2026-04-20`, and decide per-case: grandfather (keep + notify), refund + unregister, or silently unregister. Local Mongo was scrubbed of 2 such rows on 2026-04-20; prod was intentionally untouched.
 - [ ] **Helcim dashboard: disable the default payment-confirmation email for plans 50302 + 50303.** We send our own CRA-safe confirmation via Resend (`server/emails/paymentConfirmation.js`) triggered from `upsertPaymentFromHelcim`; leaving Helcim's default on = duplicate emails.
 - [ ] **Run one real test charge on staging** via the cloudflared tunnel and verify (a) a Payment doc in Mongo with `amount`, `paymentType`, `status: 'success'`, and (b) exactly one CRA-compliant confirmation email (charity name + "not an official donation receipt" disclaimer; no banned assertive phrasing).

@@ -100,6 +128,19 @@ See `docs/TODO.md` for:
 - **Subscription cache fed wrong field on CREATE.** `subscription.post.js` and `update-contribution.post.js` read `subscription.nextBillingDate` from Helcim's CREATE response, but Helcim returns `dateBilling`. The lazy refresh in `subscription.get.js` masks this (handles both shapes), so next-charge rendering works — but the cache starts empty. Fix at the CREATE sites so the cache is correct from first write.
 - **Admin edit does not sync Helcim `recurringAmount`.** `/admin/members/[id]` PUT writes `contributionAmount` direct to Mongo by design. Admins must PATCH Helcim manually. Worth surfacing in admin UI or docs.
 - **Cadence switch rejected on active subscriptions.** `update-contribution.post.js:184-189` refuses cadence changes mid-subscription; no UI toggle exists on `/member/account`. Adding cadence switch would require a Helcim subscription replacement flow, not a plain update.
+- **`SeriesPassPurchase.vue` doesn't auto-refresh after purchase.** (Observed 2026-04-21 during Phase 4 series-pass functional tests.) Component's local `$fetch` to `/api/series/{id}/tickets/available` fires on mount + `userEmail` watch, but isn't re-invoked after a successful purchase — the "already registered" state only appears on next navigation. Parent page calls `refreshNuxtData()` but the component doesn't participate in it. Fix: call `fetchPassInfo()` after the success toast in `handleSubmit`, or lift the fetch to `useAsyncData` so it can be refreshed from outside.
+- **S2 test fixture `id`/`slug` inconsistency.** (Local dev only.) Seeded S2 series has `id: 'test-s2-drop-in-allowed'` but `slug: 'test-s2-drop-in-allowed-series'`. Doesn't affect prod — fix the seed script if anyone re-runs fixtures and is confused why `id`-based Mongo queries return empty.

+### Events-surface visual audit — deferred items (2026-04-21)
+
+Context: Phase 4 audit against `docs/specs/events-visual-audit-findings.md` fixed all critical phantom-palette, rounded-corner, CTA-mismatch, and input-styling issues across `EventTicketCard`, `EventTicketPurchase`, `EventSeriesTicketCard`, `SeriesPassPurchase`. Items below were explicitly deferred or out of reach.
+
+- **Success-state color convention (4 instances).** "You're Registered!" blocks use `--candle` (gold) instead of `--green`. Touches `EventSeriesTicketCard.vue:186-196` (still uses phantom `candlelight-*` classes — preserved byte-for-byte pending decision) and registered-state wrappers in `SeriesPassPurchase.vue`. Needs a UX call on whether success should render gold (zine-consistent) or green (semantic). Once decided, finish the phantom-palette removal on those 4 lines.
+- **Sidebar breakpoint unverified.** `app/layouts/default.vue:89` hides the sidebar at ≤1024px per spec. Browser `resize_window` tool refused viewport changes during the audit, so the actual crossover and any layout shift at 1023–1025px was never visually confirmed. Do a manual responsive check before declaring the sidebar pattern shipped.
+- **`EventTicketPurchase.vue:469` magic padding.** `.consent-hint { padding-left: 24px; }` is a hardcoded offset to align the hint under the checkbox text. Cosmetic; swap for a gap/grid approach when touching the consent block next.
+- **Toast API rename unverified.** Nuxt UI v4 may have renamed `toast.add({ timeout })` → `{ duration }`. Current `SeriesPassPurchase.vue` toasts still pass `timeout`. No visible breakage, but worth confirming against current Nuxt UI docs.
+- **`.section-label` extraction candidate.** Several audited files repeat the same uppercase/letter-spaced small label pattern inline. Low-priority refactor into a utility class in `main.css`.
+- **Past-events toggle component.** Existing, untouched this pass; noted in findings doc as a future consistency check.
 
 ### Contribution-amount redesign — cosmetic cleanup (naming only, not behavior)
 - Rename admin members column header "Tier" → "Contribution" (`app/pages/admin/members/index.vue:265`).
