Database:
- Add missing indexes (users.credits, users_currency(type,amount),
users_settings.respects_received, camera_web.timestamp,
messenger_offline.user_id) via migrations 0020/0021
- Use partial .select() everywhere instead of SELECT * (tickets, users,
rooms, audit logs, catalog tree, polls, radio, password reset)
- Add queryPrepared/queryPreparedOne (server-side prepared statements)
and switch the login check to a prepared statement; drop dead
cache options from the pool config
- Raise total_users/total_rooms COUNT(*) cache TTL to 5m
Caching:
- Consolidate the three cache helpers (cached, redisCache, cachedQuery)
into a single memory-first implementation backed by Redis
- invalidateKey now clears the in-process cache as well as Redis
- Cache homepage sections, news list, and leaderboard tabs; share one
news_list cache key between homepage and news archive
- siteSettings: in-process cache with TTL so repeated getters no longer
pay a Redis round-trip per call
- Share a 10s poll cache across all radio SSE connections
- Normalize timestamps after cache reads (Redis JSON round-trip)
Assets:
- Enable AVIF/WebP via images.formats and remove unoptimized from news
covers and the homepage hero (149KB jpg) with proper sizes/priority
- Support ?format=webp|avif|png in the /imaging proxy via sharp
Other:
- Fix pnpm supply-chain minimumReleaseAge failures by excluding the
freshly-published packages (next 16.3.1, hookform resolvers 5.8.0,
resend 6.20.0)
- Remove unused before/after fields from housekeeping AuditEntry
All user-supplied string values from FormData now go through
String.prototype.normalize('NFC') to prevent Unicode homoglyph
attacks and canonicalization bypasses. NFC is idempotent for
already-normalized strings, so this is a pure security improvement
with zero behavioral change for legitimate users.
- Add DB index on bans.user_id to speed up per-request ban lookups (migration 0008)
- Replace in-process rate limiter with Redis-backed implementation with in-memory fallback
- Add Redis caching layer for site settings with TTL invalidation (migration 0009)
- Add rate limiting to resetPassword to prevent token brute-force attacks
- Update all rateLimit callers to await the now-async function
- Flesh out RadioContests and RadioGiveaways models with title, description, prize, date, and winner columns
- Update radio contest/giveaway pages to display new fields
- Add tests for rate limiter (4 tests) and password-reset actions (3 tests)
- Add REDIS_URL environment variable (optional, falls back to in-memory)
- Custom not-found (404) + error / global-error boundaries, styled with
the public design system; raw errors logged, never shown to users.
- In-process rate limiter (src/lib/rate-limit.ts) wired into the abuse-
prone flows: login (10/5min/IP), register (5/10min/IP), password-reset
request (3/15min/IP), keyed by the proxy-forwarded client IP.
- SEO/metadata: root generateMetadata sets a `%s · {hotel}` title
template from the live hotel_name; dynamic generateMetadata on
news/[slug] (article title + excerpt) and u/[username] (name + motto);
static titles on 12 primary public pages.
- env.ts: added the vars introduced since (PASSWORD_HASH, OPENAI_API_KEY,
DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL, ALERT_EMAIL, PAYPAL_*) so env stays authoritative.
Verified on the prod server: /missing → 404 card, news title renders
"News · Habbo". tsc 0, vitest 49/49, next build 0.
