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).
- 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)
