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.
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.
- 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).
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.
The /api/events/[id]/guest-register endpoint has no production
callers: it's superseded by tickets/purchase.post.js, which
handles guest Member upsert via status:"guest" when
body.createAccount is true. Drops the route file, its
source-assertion tests, guestRegisterSchema, and its validation
coverage.
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).
Admins can now surface dismissed alert types without waiting for the
underlying data to change. Adds a collapsible "Restore dismissed"
section below the active alerts with per-type checkboxes.
- ALERT_METADATA map in adminAlerts.js as the single source of truth
for slug → title/severity; detectors refactored to reference it
- GET /api/admin/alerts/dismissed returns this admin's dismissals
joined with metadata (title, severity, dismissedAt)
- POST /api/admin/alerts/restore deletes dismissals by alertType[],
returns the deleted count
- AdminAlertsPanel fetches both active + dismissed; stays visible
when either is non-empty; checkboxes + "Restore selected" button
- adminAlertRestoreSchema validates the POST body against the enum
- Auth guards test covers both new routes
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.
- GET /api/tags — public, filterable by ?pool=craft|cooperative, active only, sorted by label
- POST /api/tags/suggest — auth-required, creates TagSuggestion doc
- Add tagSuggestionSchema and communityConnectionsUpdateSchema to schemas.js
- Extend memberProfileUpdateSchema with craftTags, craftTagsPrivacy, communityConnectionsPrivacy
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.
- 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)
