Helcim refuses paymentType:'verify' for cards already saved on a
customer ("A new card must be entered for saving the payment method"),
breaking every "Complete Payment" retry after a partial-failed signup.
Add GET /api/helcim/existing-card and short-circuit HelcimPay verify in
useMemberPayment + payment-setup.vue when a saved card is found, going
straight to subscription creation. The two existence-check fetches run
in parallel with get-or-create-customer so no extra round-trip latency
in the common path.
The HelcimPay modal loads from secure.helcim.app, but the CSP only
listed myposjs.helcim.com (script/connect) and secure.helcim.com
(frame, likely a stale typo). Add secure.helcim.app to script-src,
connect-src, and frame-src so the join flow's payment modal can load.
validate-env.js now reads all four required vars (MONGODB_URI, JWT_SECRET,
RESEND_API_KEY, HELCIM_API_TOKEN) from useRuntimeConfig() instead of mixing
direct process.env reads with a JWT-only special case. Mongoose and the six
Resend instantiations follow suit. Either bare or NUXT_-prefixed env names
are accepted, so Dokploy no longer needs duplicate entries.
Route was the only DB-using endpoint that didn't call connectDB(); other
routes warm the connection incidentally, but on a freshly-booted container
with no SLACK_BOT_TOKEN the slack-joins plugin skips and nothing else
opens the pool — first reconcile request hung 10s on buffered Member.find()
and returned 500.
The reconcile-payments cron POSTs to /api/internal/reconcile-payments with
an X-Reconcile-Token header but no csrf-token cookie/header. The CSRF
middleware was 403ing the request before the route handler could check
the shared secret — breaking Fix#6 (daily reconciliation cron).
Found while wiring the Dokploy scheduled task. The Netlify scheduled
function would have hit the same 403; nobody noticed because the site
hasn't been deployed yet.
Removing CSRF protection from /api/internal/ is safe: every route under
that prefix is machine-to-machine and gates on its own shared-secret
header. CSRF protects against browser-driven cross-origin POSTs, which
isn't the threat model for these endpoints.
Tests: 758 passing (CSRF middleware unit tests still cover the exempt
list shape).
Follow-up to 51230e5. /simplify review surfaced residual duplication
and a timer leak.
- useHelcimPay: extract _initializeTicket(metadata, errorPrefix) to
collapse initializeTicketPayment + initializeSeriesTicketPayment
(95% identical bodies). Drop the dead `amount` arg from initialize-
TicketPayment — server re-derives ticket amounts in initialize-
payment.post.js and never reads body.amount for ticket types.
Capture timer ids and clearTimeout on resolve/reject so the 10-min
payment timer and 5-second observer timer stop leaking after every
payment.
- EventTicketPurchase: caller updated for the dropped arg.
- verify.post.js: replace inline jwt.sign + setCookie block with the
setAuthCookie(event, member) helper. verify was the last hand-rolled
caller after the helper was extracted in 208638e.
- LAUNCH_READINESS: add simplify-pass-followups bullet pointing to the
six deferred items in docs/TODO.md.
Tests: 758 passing, 2 skipped, 0 failing.
Follow-up to 208638e. Code review surfaced a few real issues; this
commit addresses them.
- login.post.js now uses the new sendMagicLink util instead of
duplicating the jti/jwt/Resend/logActivity logic. Reduces 60 lines.
- sendMagicLink accepts an optional pre-loaded Member doc, skipping
the redundant findOne when the caller already has one. customer.post.js
passes the just-created/upgraded member, dropping signup from 3
Mongo round-trips to 1 (lookup is gone; jti burn remains).
- sendMagicLink now lowercases the email defensively so callers don't
have to remember.
- rateLimit.js: replaced an effectively-dead eviction line with a
probabilistic sweep (~1% of calls scan and evict keys whose newest
entry has aged out). Caps unbounded Map growth under random-key
spraying.
- reconcile-payments.post.js: 401/403/404 from Helcim now bails out
immediately instead of burning all 3 retry attempts; dry-run
summary filters via the same RECONCILABLE_STATUSES set as apply
mode so counts match.
- Deleted WHAT-comments and section banners per CLAUDE.md no-comment
rule. Kept genuine WHY-comments (validateBeforeSave rationale,
amount-IGNORED-for-tickets, sendConfirmation deliberately-omitted).
Tests: 758/760 passing (unchanged).
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).
Specs and audit at docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-25-fix-*.md and
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-25-launch-readiness-fixes.md.
LAUNCH_READINESS.md updated with new test count, 3 deploy-time
tasks (rotate Helcim token, set NUXT_RECONCILE_TOKEN, verify
Netlify scheduled function), and Fixed-2026-04-25 fix log.
When a series requires a pass and doesn't allow drop-ins, the
per-event availability endpoint returned a generic "No tickets
available" reason, leaving the UI to render an "Event Sold Out"
block for guests (logged-in users short-circuit via
check-series-access first).
Detect the gate server-side and return
{available:false, reason:"series_pass_required", requiresSeriesPass:true,
series:{id,title,slug}} so EventTicketPurchase's existing
requiresSeriesPass branch renders a pass-required CTA with a link to
the series page. The register and purchase handlers already enforce
the gate server-side; this is a messaging fix only.
Legacy events (tickets.enabled=false) with membersOnly=true were
returning a free guest ticket for unauthenticated callers, causing
GET /api/events/[id]/tickets/available to report available:true. The
UI then rendered the registration form and register.post.js 403'd on
submit. Short-circuit early when membersOnly && !hasMemberAccess so the
availability endpoint's existing null-ticketInfo branch surfaces the
correct "members only" reason.
Admin event create/update forms submit empty strings for unset numeric
and date fields (maxAttendees, registrationDeadline, ticket quantity,
early-bird pricing), which Zod was rejecting. Preprocess empty strings
to undefined so the existing optional/nullable validators accept them.
Self-cancel endpoint now rejects paid registrations (public, series_pass,
or paid member tickets) with a 403 pointing to /policies/refunds. Free
and $0-member registrations still self-cancel as before. Adds the
refunds policy page referenced in the error message.
The series-pass gate in register.post.js was checking
`series.allowIndividualEventTickets` at the top level, but the field
lives under `series.tickets.allowIndividualEventTickets` per the
Series schema. Top-level access was always undefined, so `!undefined`
always fired the pass check — blocking drop-in registration even when
an admin enabled `(requiresSeriesTicket=true, allowIndividualEventTickets=true)`.
The bug failed closed (overprotective), so no bypass was possible.
The existing test mirrored the bug by mocking the field at the top
level; updated the three mocks to nest it under `tickets` so the test
shape matches the real schema.
Pre-launch P0 fixes surfaced by docs/specs/events-functional-test-matrix.md
(Findings 1, 2, 3).
1. Series-pass bypass (Finding 1 / matrix S1 P3): register.post.js now
loads the linked Series when tickets.requiresSeriesTicket is set and
rejects drop-in registration unless series.allowIndividualEventTickets
is true or the user has a valid pass. Data-integrity 500 if the
referenced series is missing.
2. Hidden-event leak (Finding 2 / matrix E11): extract loadPublicEvent
into server/utils/loadEvent.js. All five public event endpoints
([id].get, register, tickets/available, tickets/reserve,
tickets/purchase) now go through the helper, which 404s when
isVisible === false and the requester is not an admin. Admin detection
uses a new non-throwing getOptionalMember() in server/utils/auth.js
(extracted from the pattern already inlined in api/auth/status.get.js).
3. Deadline enforcement + legacy pricing retirement (Finding 3 / matrix
E8): register.post.js and tickets/reserve.post.js delegate gating to
validateTicketPurchase (which already covers deadline, cancelled,
started, members-only, sold-out, and already-registered);
tickets/available.get.js gets an explicit registrationDeadline check.
Legacy pricing.paymentRequired 402 branch removed from register.post.js.
Friendlier tone + ghost emoji on invite/welcome subjects; invite
templates now offer a reply-to-this-email fallback; tighten OIDC
wiki sign-in and event registration confirmation copy.
Nested object with filesCanadianTaxes, middleInitial, confirmedAddress
(street/city/province/country/postalCode), setupCompletedAt. All
default to null/false so existing members read as 'not set up'.
Schema-only: no Zod, no API route, no UI. Phase 2 will build the
account-page preferences flow and bind to these fields without
needing a migration.
In the Case 1 (free→paid) branch of update-contribution, after the
subscription is created and the member row is updated, fetch the
newest paid Helcim transaction and upsert a Payment with
paymentType=cadence and sendConfirmation=true.
Paid→paid (Case 3) is intentionally NOT wired — no new transaction
occurs at amount change; the next recurring charge is captured by the
reconciliation script.
After a paid subscription is created and the Member row is flipped to
active, fetches the newest paid transaction from Helcim and upserts a
Payment row. Passes paymentType from the chosen cadence and
sendConfirmation: true.
Wrapped in try/catch: a logging failure here never breaks subscription
creation — the reconcile-helcim-payments script will pick up any
misses on the next run.
Takes a Member doc + a normalized Helcim transaction and inserts a
Payment row if helcimTransactionId is unseen. Maps helcim status
paid→success, refunded→refunded, failed→failed; skips 'other'.
opts.paymentType overrides the cadence fallback for mid-flight cadence
changes. opts.sendConfirmation triggers a Resend payment-confirmation
email ONLY on new inserts — swallows send failures so email trouble
cannot break the upstream payment flow.
The Resend template lives in server/emails/paymentConfirmation.js. It
is CRA-safe (charity name + 'not an official donation receipt / tax
receipts available later in 2026' disclaimer) so it can be used in
either Task 8 branch without copy changes.
Introduces the payments collection with fields Phase 2 will need to
generate official donation receipts: amount, paymentDate, paymentType
(monthly|annual), helcimTransactionId (unique), and receiptIssued /
receiptId placeholders Phase 2 will populate. Schema-only; no routes
or UI in this commit.
Three related changes on /member/account:
1. Payment History section now renders when contributionAmount > 0 OR
past payments exist. Previously a paid member who switched to $0 lost
visibility of their own past charges.
2. New "Next charge: $X on DATE" row renders above the transaction list
when nextPaymentDate is available, using --candle dashed border.
3. server/api/helcim/subscription.get.js now reads dateBilling from
Helcim's GET response and handles data as either object or array.
Helcim's real shape is {data: {id, dateBilling, ...}} — the old code
expected {data: [{nextBillingDate}]} and returned empty strings, so
the Membership-card "Next payment" row never rendered for members
whose cached date was missing. subscription.post.js and
update-contribution.post.js have the same wrong field name in their
CREATE flows; left for a follow-up — the GET refresh masks it.
Manual edit-flow and admin-flow tests also recorded in
docs/LAUNCH_READINESS.md.
Extract shared SignupFlowOverlay component. Static "Monthly Contribution"
label on all three contribution inputs (was misleadingly dynamic).
"Per Year"/"Per Month" toggle copy; Per Year default on accept-invite,
Per Month default on join. Live billing-summary card on both signup
flows. Welcome-heading on dashboard via ?welcome=1 for new signups.
$0-member polish on account page (hide payment-history + Solidarity
Fund prompts). State-aware contribution-change hint. Invite accept now
creates Helcim customer and sets auth cookie server-side for both free
and paid branches. Pre-registrant invite + /join signup flows manually
verified against Cleo Nguyen preReg and $0-$50 variants.
Persist nextBillingDate on subscription create/update; unset on
cancel or downgrade to free. Account page displays the cached
date and lazily refreshes from Helcim when the cached value is
within 24h of now (or missing).
POST /api/helcim/update-card updates the customer's default card, then
best-effort patches the active subscription payment method. Status-gated
to {active, pending_payment}; verifies the submitted cardToken is
attached to the member's helcimCustomerId via listHelcimCustomerCards.
On subscription PATCH 5xx we revert the customer default to the prior
card token; 4xx (schema rejection — cardToken is not a documented
subscription PATCH field) is tolerated since the customer default is
the authoritative billing driver.
Add GET /api/helcim/payment-history returning the authenticated
member's normalized Helcim card transactions (newest first, capped
at 50). Resolves helcimCustomerId -> customerCode via getHelcimCustomer
before calling listHelcimCustomerTransactions. Returns
{ transactions: [] } when the member has no helcimCustomerId, and
{ transactions: [], error: 'unavailable' } (HTTP 200) on Helcim
failures so the UI can render fallback copy.
Covered by unit tests at tests/server/api/helcim-payment-history.test.js
(auth, missing customer id, happy path, both Helcim failure paths,
missing customerCode).
- listHelcimCustomerTransactions(customerCode): GET /card-transactions/
with customerCode filter, sorts newest-first, caps at 50, normalizes
Helcim status (APPROVED/DECLINED) + type (refund) into
paid/refunded/failed/other.
- updateHelcimCustomerDefaultPaymentMethod(customerId, cardToken):
resolves cardToken -> cardId via /customers/{id}/cards, then PATCHes
/customers/{id}/cards/{cardId}/default.
- updateHelcimSubscriptionPaymentMethod(subscriptionId, cardToken):
wraps updateHelcimSubscription with a cardToken payload.
- helcimUpdateCardSchema: Zod schema { cardToken: string } for the
upcoming /api/helcim/update-card route.
- Unit tests for all three helpers (success + error paths).
The member account page gates the Helcim customer portal link on
`memberData.helcimCustomerId`, but this endpoint (the source for
`useAuth().memberData`) omitted the field, so the link hid for every
member regardless of Helcim enrollment. Add the field to the response.
helcimFetch called response.json() unconditionally, which threw
"Unexpected end of JSON input" on Helcim's 204 No Content responses
(e.g. DELETE /subscriptions/:id). The error was silently swallowed by
the best-effort cancel path in cancel-subscription, masking cases where
the Helcim-side cancel actually succeeded.
Replace tier-based plan lookup with cadence-keyed lookup, compute
recurringAmount via getTierAmount, persist billingCadence on member.
Delete both manual-fallback blocks; Helcim failure now surfaces as 500.
Moves updateHelcimSubscription to the live-verified wrapped shape
(PATCH /subscriptions { subscriptions: [{ id, ...payload }] }), adds a prior-
status check so sendWelcomeEmail only fires on pending_payment to active
transitions, short-circuits get-or-create-customer when a valid
helcimCustomerId is already on file, and replaces member.save() Slack-status
writes with findByIdAndUpdate({ runValidators: false }) to avoid save-time
validator pitfalls.
Extracts hasMemberAccess(member) in tickets.js and uses it across event
registration, ticket purchase, and series purchase flows so guest, suspended,
and cancelled records no longer count as members while pending_payment still
does.
