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.
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).
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.
Model, schemas, API routes, activity log, and all server handlers
updated. Old ecology/ and community-ecology routes removed, new
board/ routes added. Tests updated and new board-suggestions tests
written (10 cases).
Instead of sending members directly to the wiki (where they hit
Outline's login page and have to click again), land them on the
coming-soon page which shows a welcome message and wiki link.
Invite tokens now include a redirect claim so the verify endpoint
can distinguish them from regular login tokens. Only invite links
redirect to wiki.ghostguild.org; normal logins go to /members.
Invite emails now include both plain text and HTML versions. The
{loginLink} placeholder renders as a styled button in HTML email
clients. Other URLs in the template are auto-linked. The auth verify
endpoint redirects to wiki.ghostguild.org instead of /members.
- Simplified the magic link email format to plain text for better compatibility.
- Updated the welcome email to use plain text and changed the sender address to match the domain.
- Enhanced event registration email format to plain text, removing HTML styling for a cleaner approach.
Adds schema-based input validation across helcim, events, members,
series, admin, and updates API endpoints. Removes the peer-support
debug test endpoint. Adds validation test coverage.
- Add centralized Zod schemas (server/utils/schemas.js) and validateBody
utility for all API endpoints
- Fix critical mass assignment in member creation: raw body no longer
passed to new Member(), only validated fields (email, name, circle,
contributionTier) are accepted
- Apply Zod validation to login, profile patch, event registration,
updates, verify-payment, and admin event creation endpoints
- Fix logout cookie flags to match login (httpOnly: true, secure
conditional on NODE_ENV)
- Delete unauthenticated test/debug endpoints (test-connection,
test-subscription, test-bot)
- Remove sensitive console.log statements from Helcim and member
endpoints
- Remove unused bcryptjs dependency
- Add 10MB file size limit on image uploads
- Use runtime config for JWT secret across all endpoints
- Add 38 validation tests (117 total, all passing)
Auth: Add requireAuth/requireAdmin guards with JWT cookie verification,
member status checks (suspended/cancelled = 403), and admin role
enforcement. Apply to all admin, upload, and payment endpoints. Add
role field to Member model.
CSRF: Double-submit cookie middleware with client plugin. Exempt
webhook and magic-link verify routes.
Headers: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection,
Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy on all responses. HSTS and CSP
(Helcim/Cloudinary/Plausible sources) in production only.
Rate limiting: Auth 5/5min, payment 10/min, upload 10/min, general
100/min via rate-limiter-flexible, keyed by client IP.
XSS: DOMPurify sanitization on marked() output with tag/attr
allowlists. escapeHtml() utility for email template interpolation.
Anti-enumeration: Login returns identical response for existing and
non-existing emails. Remove 404 handling from login UI components.
Mass assignment: Remove helcimCustomerId from profile allowedFields.
Session: 7-day token expiry, refresh endpoint, httpOnly+secure cookies.
Environment: Validate required secrets on startup via server plugin.
Remove JWT_SECRET hardcoded fallback.
