Standalone bot/ service (its own package.json/Dockerfile) managed entirely
through a new admin-only Discord Bot panel — token stored encrypted in the
DB and pushed to the bot process in-memory, never an env var. Built in
phases, each independently verified against a live Discord guild:
- Bot skeleton: gateway connection, internal shared-secret API, self-heals
on its own restart by pulling config from the site
- Moderation core: /ban /kick /mute /warn /warnings + mod-log channel
- Word/invite/spam filtering with leetspeak-resistant normalization and a
staff role/channel allowlist
- Scheduled messages: recurring (cron) and one-off channel posts
- Role assignment: button role menus, auto-role on join, temp roles,
bulk role ops
- Auto-rotating primary invite with an audit log
- Site integration: news-publish -> Discord announce webhook, manual
/announce, read-only /wiki search
Also fixes a pre-existing bug in both DB pools (server + bot): the mariadb
driver defaulted to timezone 'local', silently mis-serializing bound Date
params by the host's local offset instead of the DB's UTC session.

Refactor authentication into a provider-agnostic session layer and build
two new auth surfaces on top of it, without changing local password/TOTP
behavior. Every flow now issues sessions through
sessionService.createSession(user, authMethod).
Part 1 — Session abstraction (backward-compatible refactor):
- New server/src/auth/: token.js (JWT/cookie primitives), session.service.js
(create/validate/partial-TOTP/revoke), session.middleware.js
(attachSession/requireAuth/requireRole). utils/auth.js is now a thin
compat facade so existing imports are unchanged.
Part 2 — Mobile bearer auth (additive):
- /api/v1/auth/mobile/{login,refresh,logout}: short-lived access JWT +
long-lived refresh token, stored hashed and rotated on use, in a new
mobile_refresh_tokens table. Reuses web bot-scoring/backoff; single-request
TOTP. token.signToken gains a backward-compatible expiresIn option.
Part 3 — Pluggable SSO (Google, Discord, generic OIDC):
- OAuth2Provider base + built-in Google/Discord (fixed endpoints) + generic
OIDC, a registry with health/validation, PKCE+CSRF transaction state, and
discovery (GET /auth/providers), start/link/callback routes.
- Link-only policy: SSO signs in only to an already-linked account; external
identities are never auto-provisioned. Client secrets encrypted at rest
(AES-256-GCM, utils/secretBox.js). Admin CRUD (/admin/auth/providers) and
account linking (/admin/account/identities). New auth_providers +
user_identities tables.
Frontend:
- Login page renders provider buttons from /auth/providers (inline SVG icons,
graceful with zero providers). New Authentication admin view
(Local/Google/Discord/Custom). Account page linked-accounts section.
Tests: 83 passing (session, mobile, providers, registry, secretBox, ssoState,
ssoCallback) — all DB-free via fetch mocks + model stubs. README + .env.example
updated.

Expose the botScore middleware's in-memory scoring/ban state to admins.
Previously state lived only in the store Map with no persistence or API — the
only visibility was tailing container logs.
- botScore: bounded ring buffer (300) recording scan/login-fail/honeypot and
ban events (most-recent-first); listState() snapshot of all scored IPs;
unban() to clear a single IP.
- New admin-only endpoints GET /admin/bot-activity and
POST /admin/bot-activity/unban (RBAC admin gate, IP validated). Unban is
activity-logged with the admin username.
- Bot Activity tab: currently-banned table with Unban, plus a recent-events
feed, following the existing admin table patterns.
- Tests for the buffer, listState, and unban (guard lets an unbanned IP back
through). README updated.
Read + emergency-unban only — no ban-add or weight-editing surface. Buffer is
in-memory, matching the store; not persisted.

Adds a layered set of protections around the admin login and the app edge.
Trust proxy (server/src/utils/trustProxy.js)
- Configurable via TRUST_PROXY; pin to the newt agent ("ptero") LAN IP so
X-Forwarded-For is trusted ONLY from that peer. A blanket "true" is
rejected (coerced to 1) to prevent XFF spoofing that would dodge every
IP-based control. DEBUG_TRUST_PROXY logs peer/XFF/req.ip to re-verify the
proxy IP without a redeploy. Documents the Omada static-reservation
assumption.
Login throttling (server/src/middleware/loginProtection.js, rateLimit.js)
- express-slow-down progressive delay + the existing hard rate cap + a
separate per-IP exponential backoff that persists across the rate window.
All failures return one generic message (no user/pass disclosure).
Honeypot (login form + auth.controller)
- Hidden, plausibly-named field ("company"); a filled value fails
generically and is scored as an unambiguous bot.
Optional per-user TOTP 2FA (speakeasy/qrcode)
- totp_secret/totp_enabled columns (+ idempotent migration). Self-service
Account page: enroll via QR, confirm a code to enable, code-gated disable.
- Login is two-step for enrolled users: after the password, a short-lived
signed challenge (stage:'totp', not a session) is required before the
real session is issued.
Bot / scanner scoring + IP ban (server/src/middleware/botScore.js)
- Weighted CMS-scanner paths (this app uses none). Junk paths 404 FIRST,
unconditionally — independent of score/ban state, so a scanner rotating
through fresh Cloudflare IPs gets no free pass. /wp-admin/install.php is
the top-weighted near-1-hit ban (worst offender in prod logs). Per-IP
score with quiet-period decay temp-bans an IP from ALL routes once past a
(deliberately low) threshold, to protect /admin from credential stuffing.
Failed logins and honeypot hits feed the same score.
- Periodic sweep evicts stale, unbanned, quiet entries so the in-memory
store can't grow unbounded; the interval is unref'd and cleared on
graceful shutdown.
Tests: node --test suite (40) covering trust-proxy parsing + live req.ip
(incl. pinned-IP), rate limiter + exponential backoff, honeypot rejection,
TOTP verify (enabled/disabled) + challenge-isn't-a-session, bot-score
threshold/decay/ban + junk-404-independence + install.php + store sweep.

Addresses feedback that the editor was too small/cramped (elements overlapping)
and that the generated CSS moon looked bad.
- AdminLayout: the /admin/hero view now uses the full content width (no 1000px cap)
- HeroEditor canvas is a scaled 1280x720 "stage" (transform: scale to fit the
column, capped at ~66vh). Because viewport-unit fonts and % positions scale
together, the canvas is now a faithful miniature of the live hero — the default
text block and CTA buttons no longer overlap. Drag snaps to the 8px stage grid;
resize math is scale-aware.
- Moon element now renders the actual moon cropped from the hero artwork
(client/public/assets/img/hero-moon.png, circular alpha mask) instead of the CSS
dot; MoonPanel exposes size + glow.
Verified: at 1440px the canvas is ~785x442 with the panel beside it, default
elements don't overlap, and the moon loads the real image. Build clean.

Second phase of the hero canvas editor (see HERO_EDITOR.md).
- new lib/heroLayout.js: shared defaultLayout/buildOverlay/heroBackground/
parseLayout used by both the portal and the editor (Portal refactored onto it)
- new admin view HeroEditor.jsx at /admin/hero (+ sidebar nav + route):
- live canvas preview (16:9) rendering the draft via HeroElement
- background panel: image upload (/admin/uploads, >1MB warning), 3x3 position
grid, overlay opacity slider — all update the canvas in real time
- debounced (800ms) auto-save to hero_layout_draft
- Publish (writes hero_layout + draft), Preview (opens /?preview=1), Revert
- Portal: ?preview=1 renders the draft via the admin settings endpoint, with a
"showing unpublished draft" banner; normal load renders the published layout
No schema/dep changes. Verified end to end: overlay/position update the canvas,
auto-save writes the draft, publish updates the live portal, preview shows the
draft while the public page shows live. Element drag/properties land in Phase 3.
