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 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.
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).
Deduplicate tag validation and regex escaping into shared auto-imported
utils. Add tag validation to wiki patch/batch-tag routes. Remove
duplicate tags field from event schema.
The Skills Exchange + Peer Support feature was replaced by Community
Connections on 2026-04-05, but several files and code paths were left
in place as backward-compat. None are reachable from the live UI:
- usePeerSupport.js composable: not imported anywhere
- PeerSupportBadge.vue: not imported anywhere
- peer-support.vue: stub redirect with no incoming links
- /api/peer-support.get.js: only consumed by usePeerSupport
- /api/members/me/peer-support.patch.js: same
- profile.patch.js offering/lookingFor write branches: profile form
no longer sends these fields (only writes communityConnections.*)
- PEER_SUPPORT_ENABLED/DISABLED activity types and renderers: only
written by the deleted peer-support.patch endpoint. The activityText
formatter has a fallback for unknown types so existing records
still display ("peer support enabled" with a generic icon).
Tests updated to drop peerSupportUpdateSchema coverage and the
offering/lookingFor passthrough assertion.
schemas.js cleanup deferred — concurrent communityConnections →
communityEcology rename is in flight in the working tree.
Admin interface to review, filter, and batch-invite the 95 pre-registrants
from Baby Ghosts. Accept-invitation page pre-fills their data and collects
circle, pronouns, motivation, contribution tier, and agreement before
creating their member record.
Adds COMMUNITY_CONNECTIONS_UPDATED, CONNECTION_REQUESTED, CONNECTION_CONFIRMED,
and TAG_SUGGESTED to ACTIVITY_TYPES, ACTIVITY_TYPE_DEFAULTS, the Mongoose enum,
and activityText formatters. All four default to member visibility.
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.
Standardizes color values and styling using the new tokens:
- Replaces hardcoded colors with semantic variables
- Updates background/text/border classes for light/dark mode
- Migrates inputs to UInput/USelect/UTextarea components
- Removes redundant style declarations
