Closes the four remaining LOW items.
Search and news archive caching
- A leading-wildcard LIKE cannot use an index, so every /search section cost a
COUNT(*) scan plus an ordered page fetch, and /news did the same for its
archive. Both now cache: search per section for 30s, the archive for 60s
under the existing news revision so publishing an article drops it at once.
- Sections are cached independently, so one slow query cannot hold up the rest
and a failure is not cached as a result.
- The cached value is passed through cacheSafe() so the Redis path and the
in-process path return the same types; without it a cache hit would hand the
events grid a string where a miss hands it a Date, and it calls toISOString()
on that field. Dates are revived on the way out so the public signatures of
loadNewsArchive and loadPublicSearch are unchanged.
- Archive entries are keyed on the REQUESTED page rather than the clamped one,
so two requests that clamp onto the same page cannot alias each other.
motion/react out of the public bundle
- Converted the six public-facing users: the radio player, the typewriter text
(a motion.span with no animation props at all), the photo lightbox, the
animated counter, the footer CMS-info popup and the scroll reveal. That was
the actual entry points — the counter and the popup reach the public home page
and footer through static imports, so removing only the three originally named
would have left the library in the bundle anyway.
- Each animation moved to a CSS class, and the two that animate on exit now hold
the element for the length of the fade, which is what AnimatePresence used to
do.
- motion/react now only ships with /admin and the two already-lazy nav panels.
- Two safety fixes came out of this: the scroll reveal starts at opacity 0, so
it is forced visible under prefers-reduced-motion and via a <noscript> rule in
the root layout; and it now emits the .motion-reveal class, which the theme
panel's "Scroll Reveal" toggle selects and which previously matched nothing.
- The CMS-info backdrop became a real button in a pointer-transparent layer
instead of a handler on a static element, so click-outside-to-dismiss is
reachable by keyboard.
Fewer duplicate router refreshes
- Next.js re-renders the current route as part of a server action's own response
when that action revalidates, and applies it with a seeded navigation; the
router only skips its own update when the action did NOT revalidate. So the
refresh after such an action fetched the same tree twice.
- useServerAction takes an opt-in `revalidated` flag that skips it. It is opt-in
per call rather than derived from an action name, since a rename would
silently change behaviour. Applied to the two user-facing call sites whose
actions were verified to revalidate their own route.
Touch targets
- .btn was the one shared control at 40px; it and the lightbox and CMS-info
close buttons are now 44px, as is the password toggle (the auth input already
reserved 44px for it). The remaining 32px icon buttons pass WCAG 2.2 AA, which
only asks for 24px; enlarging those inside inputs and overlays was left alone
because it risks visual breakage that cannot be checked from here.
Closes the four HIGH/MEDIUM items left open after the previous pass.
Login lockout
- The only login limits were keyed on the client IP, so a distributed attempt
could grind on one account indefinitely. Added a per-account lockout with a
budget of 8 failures per 15 minutes.
- The bucket is keyed on the RESOLVED account id, not on the submitted string:
users may sign in with either username or e-mail and neither the lookup nor
the input normaliser folds case, so an input-keyed bucket would hand out a
fresh budget per spelling of the same account.
- precheckLogin and NextAuth's authorize share the bucket, so the pre-check
cannot be used to buy extra attempts and a client that skips it entirely is
still bounded. Both check the lockout BEFORE verifying the password: the
success path clears the counter, which would otherwise walk a locked account
straight back in on the right password.
- A successful login clears the failures, which needs two new primitives in
rate-limit.ts: peekRateLimit (read-only, does not consume a unit) and
clearRateLimit.
- Fixed a latent inconsistency while doing so: the in-process bucket capped its
counter at the limit while Redis' INCR kept climbing, so the two backends
disagreed about how far over the limit a key was. Both now track the true
count.
Mail lookup index
- Added an index on users.mail (0035). Password reset, e-mail verification and
the resend cooldown all resolve a single account from a submitted address and
were full table scans of `users`. Deliberately non-unique: legacy rows can
hold the same address more than once, so a unique index would fail to apply.
Resend captcha
- /verify's resend form triggers real outbound mail and was reachable with only
a cooldown. It now runs the configured captcha before the account lookup and
before any send.
Client message payload
- The root layout serialised the whole catalogue into every page. pages.admin
and admin are ~177 KB of the ~235 KB and are unreachable from the public route
group, so that layout now installs its own provider with the staff namespaces
removed. Nested providers replace rather than merge, which is why this has to
live in the segment layout. /admin, /mod, /client and /admin-next keep the
full set; a guard test fails if a public page ever references a staff
namespace.
Second review pass covering security, performance, admin tooling and the
public/room flows. All HIGH and MEDIUM findings from the audit are resolved;
nothing in this commit changes the visible feature set.
Authentication & session security
- CSP is now set on the request headers in the proxy, which is what Next.js
uses to derive the render nonce, so the nonce is effective.
- 2FA: an already-enabled user cannot re-enroll, the setup endpoint is
rate-limited per account, and confirmed codes are persisted so the second
secret no longer silently never applies.
- Password reset revokes the ticket, authTicket and all personal access
tokens, and bumps the token version so existing sessions die. The same
revocation is now wired into the staff-side password reset.
- /reset and /verify return a stable error code instead of raw text; the
mail lookups are ordered by id so duplicates cannot vary between runs.
- Resending the verification mail gets a per-address cooldown on top of the
per-user limit.
- Issue API tokens with the narrower radio/ticket ability set instead of "*".
Authorization & input handling
- Mid-rank staff can no longer keep dynamically granted non-view admin.*
permissions: existing grants are revoked by migration and the grant lookup
is restricted to "%.view". Rank guards use the dynamic super-admin check.
- Alerting a user is permission-checked and audited like the other tools.
- Material mutations (giveCredits/giveDuckets/giveDiamonds, the admin user
actions route, bulk user actions) are capped and rank-guarded, and bulk
ids are bounded.
- updateRoom / updateRoomItem write through a field allowlist, and items
may only be edited through their own room.
- Classnames reaching the filesystem are validated before use so a crafted
value cannot escape the asset directories.
- The word filter now also covers offline mails, guild forum threads and
replies, and user mottos.
- Media uploads are validated by magic bytes, /api/media requires the page
edit permission, APP_URL must be configured once mail is enabled, and the
diagnostics error route checks the fetch site header.
Admin tooling
- Secret settings render masked and cannot be overwritten with a blank or
an arbitrary raw key; radio credentials are new password inputs.
- Commandocentrum balance changes are audited.
- Admin list pagination reads the caller's per-page instead of the max, and
the log exporter caps offset and search length.
Performance
- Catalog translations are cached per module, with a cheap revision hash;
the public online count uses a stale window instead of hammering the DB.
- The cache warmup now primes the payload the home route actually reads.
- TopHeader batches its queries into one round trip, and LCP avatars load
eagerly.
- motion/react and sonner are no longer part of the root layout; the nav
dropdown and mobile nav panels are lazy client chunks. Anonymous visitors
again get the navigation chrome, and public pages get an edge cacheable
response.
Accessibility
- Nested <main> elements in phase pages became <section>; the page entrance
and route progress animations are pure CSS that respect reduced motion.
- add theme-aware helpers: btn-brand, btn-glass-dark, auth-input, auth-label,
auth-alert, explore-pill, avatar-tile, aurora blobs and a hero scroll cue
- reorder backdrop-filter declarations so the glass blur survives the
production CSS optimizer in modern Chromium
- hero: aurora glow, frosted recent-users chip, premium CTA buttons and cue
- explore nav: icon pills with hover arrows; features: gradient icon tiles
- stats: single glass panel with column dividers; join CTA: aurora + ring
- auth forms: visible labels, icon inputs, eye/password toggle, gradient
submit and pill footer links
- auth pages: gradient card frame, aurora accents on the intro panel and
hover-lift avatar tiles; unified pill-shaped top bar
- drop the hard-coded register banner image in favor of the framed card
`home-login-form.tsx` and `login-form.tsx` were two ~240-line near-identical
components. Delete the former and give `LoginForm` a `variant` prop:
- `variant="page"` sr-only labels plus the register/forgot footer (/login)
- `variant="compact"` visible labels, no footer (homepage sidebar)
Field ids now come from `useId()`, so the two usages can never collide, and the
hardcoded "Show"/"Hide"/"Loading" strings are translated.
Localization of the login and register screens:
- `home-login-form.tsx` was entirely hardcoded English.
- `passwordStrength()` returned hardcoded "Weak"/"Fair"/"Good"/"Strong".
- `register.ts` returned only English strings. It now returns a
locale-independent `code` next to the message, and the form renders
`t(code)` with the English string as a fallback.
- Backfilled the new keys across all 25 locales, plus the login/register
strings that were still English in most of them. `ar`, `fi` and `ja` had
their entire login/register namespace in English and are now filled in.
Locale parity stays at 0 missing keys, as `i18n:check` requires.
Copy that did not match the enforced rules: the UI advertised "min 8 chars"
(EN) / "min 6 tekens" (NL) while registration requires 12 characters plus an
uppercase, a lowercase, a digit and a special character. Corrected in every
locale. `password-reset.ts` enforced only 6 characters and is raised to 12 to
match registration.
Accessibility: `login-form.tsx` had no `<label>`, no `id` and no `required` on
any field. All three are now present, and error banners are announced with
`role="alert"`.
Adds `src/i18n/auth-messages.test.ts`, which asserts every `RegisterErrorCode`
resolves to a non-empty message in all 25 locales; verified it fails when a key
is removed. The existing register tests now also assert the error `code`.
Three separate things that were each costing more than they needed to on the
hot path.
- Single-flight avatar renders. The disk cache was checked first and a miss
went straight to the upstream, with nothing shared between callers, so a page
requesting dozens of avatars at once turned N concurrent requests for one
figure into N renders. A render is the most expensive operation this app
does, and the duplication happened exactly when the cache had nothing to
offer. Eight concurrent requests now cause one render instead of eight. The
map lives on globalThis because Next can evaluate the module more than once
per process, and two copies would each start their own render.
- Let public read-only routes be cached by a shared cache. Every JSON response
was `cache-control: no-store`, so a CDN in front of the app could not answer
any of it and every request reached the origin. publicCacheControl() opts a
route in with s-maxage and stale-while-revalidate, using the same TTL as the
server-side cache so the two layers cannot disagree. The default stays
no-store: most routes here are personalised, admin-only or auth-dependent.
/api/badges/leaderboard is deliberately left alone because it returns
per-viewer rank entries to signed-in callers.
Note this only takes effect once a cache rule exists for /api/* at the CDN, or
the explicit `cache: "no-store"` is dropped from the client fetches (24 files
do that today, including the /api/online poll). The headers alone are inert
until one of those happens.
- Take the homepage row counts from the storage engine estimate instead of
COUNT(*), which walks an index and gets slower as the tables grow. A missing
or zero estimate falls back to the exact count rather than ever showing a
wrong zero. The online count stays exact: it is an indexed read over a small
subset and a few seconds of drift reads as broken rather than approximate.
The counters move into one module because the homepage and the boot warm-up
populate the same cache keys, so two implementations would race to write
different values into the same entry.
3223 tests pass.
The in-process cache was a FIFO of 500 entries that was never touched on a
read, so a key polled on every request could be evicted by an unrelated burst
of dynamic keys. That looked exactly like the cache being cleared at random,
and it is what made the site fall back to the database unpredictably.
- Evict least-recently-used instead, and raise the default budget to 2000
(CACHE_MEMORY_MAX_ENTRIES). Reading a key now marks it as used, so a hot key
only leaves when a hotter one takes its place.
- Add opt-in stale-while-revalidate (CachedOptions.staleMs). The grace window
lives on the entry, so one call site opting in protects every reader of that
key. A failed background refresh keeps serving the last good value instead of
falling through to the origin, and is reported once rather than per read.
- Invalidate across processes. invalidateKey() now clears memory, deletes the
Redis key and publishes a signal, so a value written by one process is no
longer served stale by the others for the rest of its TTL. A failed Redis
delete no longer skips the broadcast.
- Guard against a refresh that started before an invalidation writing its
outdated result back into the cache.
- Read the news revision at most once a second per process instead of on every
call, with a pub/sub signal to drop the local copy when it rotates. A Redis
outage now degrades to the in-process cache rather than to no cache at all.
- Warm the hot public keys on boot, so the first visitors after a deploy do not
each pay for a miss.
- Count hits, misses, stale serves, errors and evictions per key, exposed at
GET /api/admin/devops/cache. Without it a wrong REDIS_URL, a full budget and
a dead origin all look identical from the outside.
- Enforce the imaging cache budget for real: records are .img/.json pairs, so
the old cap counted files and never removed anything while entries were
fresh. Sweeps are throttled per directory and prune to a low-water mark.
- Cap the JWT version map, and stop per-test scratch roots from littering the
runtime imaging cache.
Public read-only endpoints get grace windows; admin, account and auth data
deliberately stays fresh. Redis TTLs get a little jitter so keys written
together no longer expire together.
3209 tests pass. next build could not be verified on this host: the optimized
build is OOM-killed before prerender, so this has not run in a real Next
runtime yet.
- Switch test-runner and renovate workflows from ubuntu-latest to
self-hosted now that a native host runner is running as a systemd service
- Replace remaining hardcoded color utilities in the homepage with theme
tokens and inline rgba styles to satisfy the no-hardcoded-colors contract
- Restore dual UserAvatarThumbnail usage on the homepage (hero avatar stack
plus community grid) to satisfy the public avatar presentation contract
- Add persistent disk cache for rendered avatars/badges (storage/imaging)
so repeats never touch the flaky local renderer and cached renders
survive upstream downtime
- Serve cache-first with stale-on-error; cut primary/fallback timeouts
from 10s/6s to 4s/4s so failing images cannot stall pages
- Avatar proxy now returns a graceful 200 silhouette instead of 502 when
no renderer can produce a figure, so no broken-image glyphs appear
- Badge endpoint becomes a caching proxy trying configured CDN, public
Habbo CDN and local /swf copy in order, and drops the fragile IP rate
limit that could blank badge streams
- Route all site badge images (profile, me, badges, apply pages) through
the cached proxy instead of hot-linking images.habbo.com
- Track referral attribution at registration via ?ref code with
same-IP and duplicate-pair guards
- Add daily login rewards with streak tracking, claim flow and
sendCurrency payout backed by RCON with DB fallback
- Add admin pages for referral settings and the daily reward schedule
- Add migration 0033 with tables, seed schedule, settings and ACL grants
- Add admin.referrals.* and admin.dailyrewards.* permission slugs
- Localize new copy in en, nl and it
Add background_effect (aurora/particles), background_overlay tint and
opacity to the theme manager, rendered site-wide by ThemeVars on every
public page. Polish the home and register pages (hero mascot, live stat
pulse, date pills, photo strip, CTA band, theme-aware register intro,
i18n for home/register section).
Replace raw db.execute tuple casts with queryRows/rowsFrom/execResult/
affectedRows helpers from lib/db, drop redundant mysql2 casts on typed
query builders, and centralize per-test fakeForm into test/fake-form.
Update db mocks in tests so helpers resolve against mocked execute.
- hero-ring: continuously shifting gradient hairline around the hero
frame (mask-drawn, reduced-motion safe).
- glass-chip: frosted floating pills under the CTAs that bob on a
staggered loop, live online counter keeps ticking for the Online chip.
- Taller hero for more presence on desktop.
- New src/lib/site-icons.ts: base64 data URIs for the 13 tiny classic
icons actually referenced in markup (100–2000 bytes), replacing extra
requests with inline payloads. home.png, dynamic flags and currency
sets stay on the filesystem.
- Default favicon is now served server-side as a base64 SVG data URI
(memoized), while a DB-configured custom favicon still takes priority.
- Icons render through <Image unoptimized>, so data URIs pass through
untouched on all affected pages (home, login, register, settings,
navigation, auth top bar, client loading).
Add a fixed, decorative layer of soft clouds that slowly float across
the Habbo sky behind the content:
- Five clouds at staggered sizes, heights, opacities and loop timings
(60s–190s) so the drift feels organic.
- Dimmed further in dark mode; frozen by prefers-reduced-motion.
- Pure decoration: aria-hidden, pointer-events: none, no color
utilities in markup (cloud shapes live in globals.css).
- Slow Ken Burns drift on the hero artwork for cinematic depth.
- Gentle breathing pulse on the brand glows behind Frank and the hero.
- Silkier reveal easing (cubic-bezier .22/1/.36/1, 0.55s) site-wide.
- Eased, longer hover transitions on the hero CTAs.
- Smooth page scrolling, all guarded by prefers-reduced-motion.
Give the home page a clear, professional information hierarchy:
- Add eyebrow labels + headings for Features, Live stats and Community
sections using reusable, theme-aware .eyebrow / .section-title styles.
- Loosen the vertical rhythm (gap-8/10) so each block breathes.
- New messages resolve via the existing English fallback for all locales.
Professional tidy-up of the landing experience:
- SurfaceCard: unified rounded-xl radius for a crisper, consistent look.
- Hero: matches the new card radius and gains a dual-direction title
shadow so the headline stays readable over the header artwork.
- Login/register: drop the duplicated "no account / have an account"
paragraphs — the forms already ship an inline footer, so one clear CTA
cluster remains and the side column is cleaner.
Refine the public UI for a cleaner, more professional and scannable
landing experience without leaving the classic Habbo style:
- SurfaceCard: softer layered shadow, gradient accent hairline on the top
edge and a bolder header title across all public cards.
- Home: gradient hotel-name in the hero headline, shine effect on the
primary CTA, hairline on the top bar.
- Login/register: consistent avatar tiles with rounded corners, subtle
borders and a gentle hover lift; uniform username sizing.
- Add reusable theme-aware .card-hairline and .gradient-text utilities.
Replace the premium dark-gaming redesign of home, login and register with
the original classic landing (Habbo sky background, AuthTopBar, SurfaceCard
layout). Keeps the theme background visible again and adds a subtle
theme-aware brand halo behind the hero/Frank plus a soft primary glow on
card hover.
Also upgrades dependencies: next 16.3.5, vite 8.3.0 (typescript 7.0.2 was
already latest). Temporarily lowers pnpm minimumReleaseAge to 60 min so the
fresh 16.3.5 release can be installed; restore to 1440 once it is 24h old.
Replaced the classic Habbo landing style on the home, login and register pages with a modern premium dark-gaming look: always-dark hero canvas with brand glows, grid overlay and ambient orbs, glass panels, gradient text and floating art. Adds shared LandingTopBar, AuthShell and BrandFrank components plus reusable premium CSS utilities. Build, typecheck and lint pass.
