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.
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.
Introduces /community-guidelines and /policies/{privacy,terms,[slug]} pages,
swaps the signup/invite checkbox from agreedToTerms to agreedToGuidelines,
adds Member.agreement.acceptedAt, and stamps the field when a Helcim
customer is created.
Non-members who register for an event now get a persistent identity:
with consent, a status:"guest" Member is upserted and an auth cookie is
set so the "You're Registered" state survives a page refresh.
Tiered auto-login matches passwordless-auth norms — auto-login is only
safe when the account holds no privileges:
- New email → create guest + cookie
- Returning guest → cookie
- Existing non-guest (active/pending/etc.) → attach ticket only, no
cookie, confirmation email includes a sign-in link
Guests are gated on status === "guest", so admin/middleware code that
keys on status === "active" naturally excludes them. Guests are also
treated as non-members for ticket pricing/validation to prevent picking
up member-only pricing on their second registration.
- Timezone: curated USelectMenu dropdown (app/config/timezones.js), preserves unknown saved values
- Profile save now uses useToast() for success/error; remove inline save banner
- Nav onboarding dot nudged down 1px for optical alignment with lowercase text
- Onboarding: skip a suggestion with POST /api/onboarding/track {skip}; member.onboarding.skipped map; does not affect graduation
- CirclePicker takes :saved-value so 'Current' badge stays until save completes
- PrivacyToggle is binary (USwitch labeled Private); member schema enum reduced to ['members','private']; zod coerces legacy 'public'
- New /member/payment-setup page: HelcimPay $0 verify + update-contribution, wired from account.vue via requiresPaymentSetup redirect
- Helcim portal: NUXT_PUBLIC_HELCIM_PORTAL_URL env + account.vue 'Manage billing in Helcim' link
- Migration script: scripts/migrate-privacy-public-to-members.js
- Delete server/api/members/me/board.patch.js and server/api/board/suggestions.get.js
- Add boardSlackHandle to memberProfileUpdateSchema; remove boardPrivacy
- profile.patch.js: write boardSlackHandle -> board.slackHandle; drop boardPrivacy
- Remove privacy.board field from Member model
- onboarding/status.get.js: hasProfileTags now requires only craftTags; hasEngagedBoard uses BoardPost.exists
- onboarding/track.post.js: graduation check uses BoardPost.exists instead of board.topics elemMatch
- members/[id].get.js and directory.get.js: reduce board response to slackHandle only; drop connectionTag and peerSupport filters
- Add BoardPost model (author, title, seeking/offering, note, tags) with
validator requiring at least one of seeking/offering
- Add BoardChannel model (name, slackChannelId, tagSlugs)
- Add boardPost/boardChannel create+update Zod schemas
- Trim Member.board subdoc to only slackHandle (drop topics, details,
offerPeerSupport, availability, personalMessage)
- Remove old boardUpdateSchema
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).
Adds three new Mongoose models for the community connections feature. Extends
Member with craftTags, communityConnections block, privacy fields for both,
and a connectionRequests notification preference.
Adds memberInviteSchema and bulkMemberImportSchema needed by the invite
and CSV import endpoints. Adds inviteEmailSent/inviteEmailSentAt fields
to member model. Adds the bulk import API route.
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.
