 ### 2. Database Setup

-The CMS shares a database with the Polaris/Arcturus emulator. Use an existing database or create a new one:
+The CMS supports both **MySQL / MariaDB** and **PostgreSQL**. The database type is automatically detected from your `DATABASE_URL` protocol (`mysql://` or `postgres://`).

+#### Option A: MySQL / MariaDB
+
+Create your database:
 ```sql
 CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS epicnext_cms CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
 ```

-The CMS reads emulator-owned tables (`users`, `items`, `rooms`, `bans`, etc.) directly. It never creates, alters, or drops them. The Drizzle schema in `src/db/schema.ts` is generated from the existing database structure and does not modify it.
+#### Option B: PostgreSQL

+The CMS reads emulator-owned tables (`users`, `items`, `rooms`, `bans`, etc.) directly. It never creates, alters, or drops them. The Drizzle schema in `src/db/schema.ts` maps to the existing database structure.

 > **Note:** The CMS does **not** own the emulator schema — it maps to those tables via Drizzle. Never run `drizzle-kit push` / `migrate` against the shared DB. CMS-owned tables (`website_*`, `radio_*`, etc.) are created via idempotent SQL in `drizzle/migrations/`.

+#### Multi-Engine Architecture & Dialect Routing
+
+EpicNext-CMS features a robust, multi-dialect database abstraction layer powered by **Drizzle ORM**. Depending on the connection string protocol supplied in `DATABASE_URL`:
+- **MySQL / MariaDB (`mysql://`)**: Utilizes `mysql2/promise` connection pooling with optimized keep-alive, named placeholders, and strict statement hardening.
+- **PostgreSQL (`postgres://` / `postgresql://`)**: Utilizes `node-postgres` (`pg.Pool`) with high-performance async client handling.
+
+The query builder and helper functions (`queryRows`, `execResult`, `affectedRows`) automatically normalize driver-specific responses (`ResultSetHeader` vs PostgreSQL result objects), ensuring seamless compatibility across database engines without application-layer changes.
+

 The build cache can stay enabled: copying changed source invalidates the
 application build layer. Deleting all Docker cache is not an update mechanism.

+#### Build toolchain and cache
+
+The image never installs a pinned pnpm of its own. The Dockerfile installs
+[corepack](https://nodejs.org/api/corepack.html) and lets it resolve the pnpm
+version _and_ its sha256/sha512 hash from the `packageManager` field in
+`package.json`. One pin therefore drives the Docker build, the CI runner and
+the host — the image can no longer drift away from the lockfile, and a tampered
+package tarball is rejected instead of silently installed. Bumping pnpm is a
+single edit in `package.json` (plus the README version table, checked by
+`pnpm readme:versions:check`).
+
+Two caches make repeated builds cheap:
+- **pnpm store** — a BuildKit cache mount on `$PNPM_HOME/store` keeps the
+  downloaded packages between builds. A lockfile change then re-uses the store
+  (`reused 493, downloaded 0`) instead of re-downloading every package.
+- **Local build cache** — `docker compose build` exports the build cache to
+  `.docker-cache/cms` and imports it again on the next build. Unlike the
+  daemon's own cache, this survives `scripts/docker-prune.sh`, which trims the
+  daemon cache to 4 GB after every deploy. The directory is ignored by both
+  Git and the build context; delete it to force a cold build.
+
+The CI has the same problem on a bigger scale: the runner workspace is wiped
+after every job and `scripts/docker-prune.sh` trims the daemon cache after
+every release, so the next build started with an empty cache and downloaded all
+493 packages again (measured: `reused 0, downloaded 493`). `scripts/ci-deploy.sh`
+and `scripts/ci-preflight.sh` therefore export the build cache to a directory
+outside the workspace — `/var/cache/epicnext-cms-buildcache` for the release and
+`/var/cache/epicnext-cms-preflight-cache` for branch preflights, so a branch can
+never feed the release cache. With that export in place the same build re-uses
+the frozen dependency layer (`reused 493, downloaded 0`) even after a full
+`docker builder prune`. Set `CMS_BUILD_CACHE_DIR` to another path to move the
+cache, or to an empty value to switch it off.
+
+The build context excludes `e2e/` and `integration/`. `next build` type-checks
+the whole project, so shipping the test suites inside the image made a type
+error in test code break the image build and pulled `@playwright/test`, `vitest`,
+`msw` and `testcontainers` into it. The CI runs those suites on the host
+(`pnpm test:ui`, `pnpm test:integration`).

 ### Volumes

 Only the CMS (and the optional avatar imager container, see [Avatar Imaging](#avatar-imaging)) run in Docker. The heavy client assets and gamedata stay on the host and are shared into the container so imports and uploads persist:

 **About the hardcoded `/var/www/Gamedata` path:** `src/lib/services/furni-asset-dirs.ts` defines `DEFAULT_GAMEDATA_ROOT = /var/www/Gamedata` as an absolute on-disk path the CMS reads and mirrors imported assets into. The compose file mounts the host `/var/www/Gamedata` at the identical path inside the container so `existsSync('/var/www/Gamedata')` succeeds and nginx keeps serving `/gamedata/` from the same directory.

 **The Nitro/Octane client and renderer are NOT mounted** — nginx on the host serves them directly:

 The CMS container runs with `network_mode: host`. This lets the existing `127.0.0.1` references in `.env` keep working against host services — MariaDB (`3306`), Valkey/Redis (`6379`), the emulator RCON/API (`3003`/`3001`) and the avatar imager — without re-writing any environment variables. The container consequently listens **directly on the host's port 3002**, so stop any previous host-side CMS (e.g. `pm2 stop next`) that occupies that port before starting it.

-The **build** also runs on the host network (`build.network: host`) because this host disables Docker iptables (`/etc/docker/daemon.json`: `"iptables": false`), which would otherwise leave build containers without outbound NAT/DNS when fetching packages.
+The **build** deliberately does _not_ use host networking. BuildKit (v0.26, Docker 29)
+refuses to grant host networking unless every caller passes
+`--allow=network.host`, and `docker compose build` has no such flag — asking for
+`build.network: host` therefore turned every rebuild into an immediate
+"additional privileges requested" failure. The build only needs outbound
+internet (apk, corepack/pnpm, next/font/google), which the default bridge

 #### Bulk JSON storage (MariaDB)

 Emulator/hotel JSON dumps (furnidata, external texts, product data) are often >50 MB. MariaDB's `JSON` type is an alias for `LONGTEXT` and can **never be indexed directly**, so `src/db/schema-gamedata.ts` follows the "promote + index" pattern:
-
 - The raw JSON document stays intact in a `longtext` / `mediumtext` column (`payload`, `value`).
 - The fields you actually `WHERE` / `ORDER BY` on are promoted into real columns (`sprite_id`, `class_name`, `kind`, `title`, `text_key`) and indexed.
 - Optional **VIRTUAL generated columns** extract indexed fields from the payload with `JSON_EXTRACT` (MariaDB supports secondary indexes on virtual columns, 10.2+), so no duplicate data has to be written by the importer.

 Three tables are exported:

-| Table                | Purpose                                        | Unique key                  |

 Since then the CMS-side avatar proxies (`/api/imaging/avatar` and `/imaging`) are resilient: when the configured upstream (the Polaris container on `8082`) fails or times out, the request is retried against Habbo's public renderer (`https://www.habbo.com/habbo-imaging/avatarimage`), with the `effect` parameter stripped and `img_format` forced to `png`, since the public renderer supports neither. The response is then marked with `X-Imager-Source: primary|fallback` and a shorter `Cache-Control` TTL when served from fallback, so the configured imager is retried soon instead of being masked for hours. No fallback is attempted when the configured upstream already is the Habbo public renderer. As a last line of defence every avatar `<img>` on the site falls back to a grayscale silhouette placeholder instead of a broken-image glyph.

+### Figure string validation

-The CMS-side route re-validates the incoming figure against `/^[a-z]{2}-\d+(-\d+)?(\.[a-z]{2}-\d+(-\d+)?)*$/i`. Real Habbo figure strings use `type-id-color` parts separated by dots (`hd-180-1.ch-210-66`), so each part allows an optional second number. Invalid input is rejected with `400` before any render happens.
+The URL builder (`src/lib/imager.ts`) and the proxy routes share one rule set
+(`src/lib/avatar-figure.ts`): a figure must look like `part-id` segments
+separated by dots (`hd-180-1.ch-210-66`). Some clients append extra segments the
+renderer still accepts (e.g. a trailing `.0`), so the pattern is deliberately
+loose; over-strict validation once turned valid avatars into 400s.
+
+Before a URL is built, the stored look is normalised: anything the imager would
+reject — an empty part slot such as the legacy `hr-100-.hd-180-1` default, a
+path-traversal attempt, an over-long value — is replaced with
+`DEFAULT_AVATAR_FIGURE`. That stops legacy accounts from rendering broken
+avatars without weakening the route, which still answers `400` to a malformed
+figure (`src/app/api/imaging/avatar/route.ts`).

+## Captcha (Cloudflare Turnstile)
+
+The **register**, **login**, **forgot-password** and **resend-verification**
+forms can be protected by a captcha. **Cloudflare Turnstile** is the supported
+provider and is free; reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha are also wired up. If you only
+read one thing, read the precedence table below.
+
+### Where the captcha is configured (and who wins)
+
+There are two places, and the **admin panel always wins**:
+1. **Admin panel** — _Admin → CMS Settings → Captcha_ (stored in the database).
+2. **Environment variables** — used **only** as a fallback when the admin panel
+   has no value.
+
+Resolution order, highest first:
+
+| Admin panel `captcha_provider` | Env `CAPTCHA_PROVIDER` | What happens                           |
+| ------------------------------ | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| `turnstile`                    | anything               | **Turnstile** (panel wins)             |
+| `none` (set explicitly)        | `turnstile`            | **Off** — an explicit panel value wins |
+| _empty / never set_            | `turnstile`            | **Turnstile** (env fallback)           |
+| _empty / never set_            | _empty / never set_    | **Off**                                |
+
+In short: **enable it in the admin panel and the env vars are ignored; leave the
+panel empty and the env vars take over.** An explicit `none` in the panel turns
+the captcha **off** even when `CAPTCHA_PROVIDER=turnstile` is set.
+
+### Option A — configure with environment variables (per deploy)
+
+1. Create a Turnstile widget in the
+   [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/turnstile):
+   **Add widget**, name it, and add the hostnames your hotel is served on
+   (e.g. `epicnabbo.nl`, `www.epicnabbo.nl`). _Managed_ mode is fine. Copy the
+   **Site Key** and the **Secret Key**.
+2. Put them in your real `.env` (never commit this file):
+
+   ```dotenv
+   CAPTCHA_PROVIDER=turnstile
+   TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY=<your site key>       # public — safe to expose
+   TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY=<your secret key>   # SECRET — server-side only
+   ```
+
+   - The **site key** is **public**: it is rendered into the page for the
+     browser.
+   - The **secret key** is **secret**: only the server uses it to call
+     Cloudflare's `siteverify` endpoint. **Never commit it** — keep it in the
+     host `.env`, or a **masked CI/CD variable** if you deploy from CI.
+3. Restart the container so the new env is picked up.
+
+### Option B — configure in the admin panel
+
+**Admin → CMS Settings → Captcha**: pick the provider and paste the site key and
+secret. This overrides the env vars and takes effect **without a restart**.
+
+### Verify
+
+- Open `/register`. When active, the Turnstile widget appears above the submit
+  button.
+- The e2e suite can assert the widget contract:
+  `E2E_EXPECT_CAPTCHA=turnstile pnpm test:e2e` (spec: `e2e/register.spec.ts`).
+
+### Notes
+
+- **Fail-closed**: if the provider is Turnstile but no secret key is available,
+  verification fails and the form is blocked — it never silently lets bots in.
+- The Content-Security-Policy already allows `https://challenges.cloudflare.com`
+  (`src/lib/csp.ts`), so no header changes are needed.
+- Turnstile does **not** require the Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud); it works
+  independently of the anti-DDoS layer above.

+`docker-compose.yml` defines a single `cms` service (the blue slot on 3002)
+behind the `cms` profile, so a bare `docker compose up -d` never starts it. The

+
+### Compose on a CI host
+
+Compose and CI both want port 3002, so only one of them can own a host. A stray
+compose replica (`docker compose up`, or the daily `scripts/docker-update.sh`
+cron) parked an `epicnext-cms` container on the blue slot while nginx served the
+green slot, and every later release stopped on "Port 3002 is already in use" —
+after the build, the migrations and the browser gate. Three guards now prevent
+that:
+- The `cms` service sits behind the `cms` profile, so a bare `docker compose up
+  -d` starts only byparr and can never claim 3002. The service starts only when
+  it is named explicitly (`docker compose up -d cms`), which is what the
+  installer/updater already do; Compose enables the profile automatically for an
+  explicitly named service.
+- `scripts/docker-update.sh` refuses to run on a CI host. It used to test only
+  `epicnext-cms-app`, but after a cutover to the green slot that container is
+  stopped and deleted, so the guard stopped firing while the host stayed
+  CI-managed. It now checks both slot containers and the nginx upstream, and
+  reports the skip with exit 0 instead of failing the cron.
+- `ci-deploy.sh` retires a compose replica of _this_ checkout
+  (`com.docker.compose.project.config_files`) from the candidate port before

+## Memory-capped commands
+
+This host runs with `vm.overcommit_memory=0` **and no swap**. When a process
+asks for more memory than is free, the kernel does not wait — it calls the
+OOM-killer immediately, and it picks its victim across the **whole machine**,
+not just the offending process. An uncapped build does not merely fail: it can
+take the MariaDB process, nginx and the live release down with it.
+
+Every heavy command therefore runs inside its own cgroup with a hard
+`MemoryMax`, via `scripts/with-memory-cap.sh`. If the build outgrows its
+ceiling, only that cgroup is killed — the build fails, the site keeps serving.
+
+The systemd backend also sets `MemoryHigh` (95% of the ceiling) so the kernel
+reclaims and throttles **before** the hard limit, and it clamps the ceiling to
+`MemAvailable - reserve` (`CMS_MEMORY_CAP_RESERVE`, default `4g`). That stops a
+cap larger than the free memory from dragging the whole host into the global
+OOM-killer. `MemorySwapMax=0` is set explicitly (this host has no swap). If
+fewer than 1 GB would remain, the script refuses to start.

+### Running the builder by hand
+
+```bash
+npx next build          # ✗ refused before it allocates anything
+```
+
+`next build` loads `next.config.ts`, which **refuses any production build that
+is not running under the memory cap**. This closes the one hole the `pnpm`
+scripts leave open: invoking the builder directly — from a terminal, an IDE, or
+an automated agent — would otherwise bypass the cgroup entirely and go
+unbounded.
+
+The refusal looks like this:
+
+```
+Error: Refusing to run an uncapped production build.
+
+On this host an unbounded `next build` gets OOM-killed by the kernel,
+and the killer may take the database, nginx or the live release with it.
+
+Use the capped build instead:
+    pnpm build
+```
+
+Fix: use `pnpm build`. If you are genuinely inside an isolated environment
+where the container _is_ the boundary (the Docker build, a CI runner), set
+`CMS_MEMORY_CAPPED=1` to opt out deliberately.
+
+### Backends
+
+`scripts/with-memory-cap.sh` picks its mechanism automatically:
+
+| `CMS_MEMORY_CAP_BACKEND` | Mechanism                  | Notes                                                  |

+| `none`                   | None — warning only        | Docker build and GitLab runner, each already isolated. |
+
+On a host **without** systemd and without `CMS_MEMORY_CAP_BACKEND=none`, the
+script refuses to run rather than proceeding unbounded.
+
+Tunables for the systemd backend: `CMS_MEMORY_CAP_RESERVE` (default `4g`) is
+the headroom left for everything else on the machine; the effective ceiling is
+`min(requested, MemAvailable - reserve)`.

 The CMS automatically translates furniture names and descriptions to **13 languages** on every import:
-
 - **Native languages** (via official Habbo gamedata): Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Italian
 - **Additional languages** (via LibreTranslate Docker at `127.0.0.1:5000`): Portuguese, Finnish, Polish, Russian, Arabic, Japanese

+### End-to-end tests
+
+`pnpm test:e2e` is the **blocking deploy gate**. It only contains checks the CMS
+can guarantee on its own (anonymous redirects, the register form fields and the
+captcha DOM contract, cache-control headers), so a green run means a code deploy
+is safe.
+
+Checks that depend on **live content or data** — a missing upload or theme asset
+(`/help` article images), a legacy malformed avatar figure, warm-page latency —
+live in a separate advisory suite:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:e2e:quality   # playwright.quality.config.ts, never blocks a deploy
+```
+
+It is run against the public site as a `continue-on-error` CI job, so it still
+surfaces a real content problem without turning the pipeline red. Point either
+suite at any running CMS with `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL`.
+
+### Testing & Quality Assurance
+
+EpicNext-CMS maintains strict engineering standards enforced through automated testing pipelines:
+1. **Unit & Integration Testing (Vitest)**:
+   - Run tests: `pnpm test`
+   - Run integration tests: `pnpm test:integration`
+   - Covers database helpers, caching strategies, background workers, and housekeeping matrix logic.
+
+2. **End-to-End Testing (Playwright)**:
+   - Blocking deploy gate (`pnpm test:e2e`): validates critical user journeys (authentication, registration, captcha DOM contracts, security headers).
+   - Quality advisory suite (`pnpm test:e2e:quality`): non-blocking inspection of live content assets, page latency, and responsive layouts.
+
+3. **Linting & Type Safety (Biome & TypeScript)**:
+   - Lint check: `pnpm lint` (or `pnpm biome:check`)
+   - Type check: `pnpm typecheck` (strictly validates TypeScript across App Router, Server Actions, and Drizzle models).
+

+## Production Deployment & Zero-Downtime Releases
+
+EpicNext-CMS is engineered for enterprise-grade production environments with zero-downtime deployment capabilities:
+1. **Blue/Green Slot Deployments**:
+   - Updates run through containerized slot orchestration (`scripts/docker-update.sh`), ensuring seamless transitions between release versions without dropping requests.
+   - Automatic health check verification (`/api/health`) validates database connectivity, Redis/Valkey status, and RCON liveness before routing production traffic.
+
+2. **Automated Rollback Protection**:
+   - If a post-cutover health check or startup sequence fails, the system automatically triggers a rollback to the previous stable container image and logs the incident.
+
+3. **High-Performance Caching & Rate Limiting**:
+   - Integrates with Redis / Valkey for distributed session storage, global rate limiting, and ephemeral response caching.
+   - Multi-tier anti-DDoS proxy filtering defends against volumetric application-layer abuse with automatic Cloudflare edge-block mirroring.

-| Shared HK | Dialogs scroll within the available viewport. Table column preferences persist per page in the current browser session; filters already remain in the URL. No favorites added. |
-| Catalog Studio | Dedicated detail drawer and five separate completeness states: SQL, offers, furnidata, icon and Nitro. Sprite/type conflicts are consistently excluded from import and linked to audit. Missing source files are never represented as available. |
-| Operations | Command center includes permission-filtered error groups, personal import failures, open support tickets and news drafts. A failed source is shown separately from an empty source. |
-| Error center | Retained occurrence counts, first/last times, identified users, release counts, self-assignment and recognized local links. Assignment requires edit permission and is audited. |
-| News | Private server-backed autosave, recover/discard/retry, prior saved revisions restored as a draft, and concurrent-edit detection. New status/search filters and pagination make older drafts reachable. |
-| Jobs | Cancellation finishes the current item and stops pending items. Completed work stays completed. Uncertain interrupted mutations are excluded from retry. Live lease checks stop known stale worker writes. |
-| Installation | `/admin/devops/installation` shows release, DB latency, Redis, emulator, storage permissions, migration history and worker heartbeat. Renderer defaults are recognized. Registry access is explicitly unverified from the web process. |
-| Public dashboard | Current/next published event, clearer unread-message action, useful empty/error states and mobile layout refinements. |
-| Audit | Exact actor/action and UTC date filters, readable recorded before/after values and permission-protected CSV of the filtered page, capped at 100 rows. |
-| Performance | Active import polling remains 5 seconds; idle polling is 30 seconds and pauses in hidden tabs. History returns at most 30 owned jobs and initially renders 50 items per job. Health probes are deduplicated within a render; diagnostics report observed probe duration. |
-| Text | New messages are translated in English, Italian and Dutch. Other locales have explicit English fallback strings. Existing translation debt is not reported as resolved. |

It verifies selection through `.env`, loopback/port override precedence, the IPv4 healthcheck and preservation of mounts, release selection and host networking. The `cms` service is behind the `cms` profile (so a bare `docker compose up -d` cannot claim port 3002 on a CI-managed host), so the test renders the configuration with `--profile cms`. It explicitly skips when Compose is unavailable. This is not a container-start or network-isolation test.

 `pnpm test:integration` additionally starts disposable Nginx containers from the actual templates, supplies a temporary test certificate, and sends real HTTPS requests with forged identity headers. It checks direct-mode replacement even with an inherited real-IP rule, rejection of untrusted peers, and acceptance through an explicitly trusted peer. This requires Docker Engine and the OpenSSL CLI and does not read deployment credentials. The templates must still pass `nginx -t` on the intended host after its hostname/certificate substitution, then the listener and trusted-header checks above; the disposable fixture cannot certify that host or its firewall.

 For each configured App Router route, resolve its exact app path using `app-path-routes-manifest.json` and `server/app-paths-manifest.json`.

This includes layout, page and boundary/loading entries.

+The **initial entry envelope** is the union of route bootstrap `rootMainFilesTree[appPath]` (or `rootMainFiles`) and every client chunk that route's client-reference manifest lists. This includes layout, page and boundary/loading entries.

+The manifest exposes those chunks differently per bundler. Turbopack emits an explicit per-segment `entryJSFiles` map; webpack emits no such field and records chunks only per client module, as `clientModules[*].chunks`, in `[chunkId, fileName, chunkId, fileName, …]` order. The report reads `entryJSFiles` when present and otherwise derives the same envelope from `clientModules`, which is the source Next's own `static-routes-info` uses. Numeric chunk ids are skipped; a malformed chunk _path_ still fails rather than being dropped, so a broken manifest cannot quietly under-report a route.
+
+> The build runs webpack (`next build --webpack`), so the `clientModules` path is the live one. An earlier revision only read `entryJSFiles`, and after the switch to webpack every route reported `unavailable` while the command still exited 0 — the budgets were silently not being measured. When a bundler switch changes the manifest layout again, re-check this section rather than trusting a clean exit.

 - Deployment query strings and `/_next/` prefixes are normalized before deduplication. Shared files count once per route; each route is measured independently, with no misleading cross-route total.
- Legacy `nomodule` polyfills are measured separately, outside the modern initial budget. CSS, source maps, images, external scripts, HTML/RSC payloads and async-only chunks absent from `entryJSFiles` are excluded.

+Baselines were last recalibrated against a local webpack production build (Next 16.4.1, `next build --webpack`) and cross-checked against the report the Docker image build emits: `/me` 621460/195411, `/news` 616712/193199, `/events` 617121/193450, `/search` 618536/194216, `/admin/catalog` 1049094/330369, `/admin/studio/furni` 1397566/447765 (raw/gzip). The earlier Turbopack numbers (previous revision) were **not** comparable and were dropped.

-Configured limits are positive integer bytes; `null` explicitly means observe-only. `scripts/performance-budgets.json` remains `mode: informational`. Exceeding a limit produces `over-budget` and a warning, with exit code 0. Missing production `BUILD_ID`, unsupported manifests, missing routes or missing referenced assets produce `unavailable` with a reason and **no partial/zero total**, also exit code 0. Malformed budget configuration or an unwritable output directory fails the command. This keeps initial CI reporting non-blocking while preventing invalid configuration from quietly disabling limits.
+The image build compiles the app, then runs `scripts/performance-report.mjs` in the same `RUN` layer (`Dockerfile:48-53`). In `mode: enforce` a failing route therefore fails the image build, which blocks both the PR `preflight` job and the `deploy` job. Recalibrate the table and `scripts/performance-budgets.json` **together** in the same commit whenever the envelope legitimately grows (new route dependency, Next upgrade).

-Synthetic tests cover shared-chunk deduplication, exact byte/gzip calculations, route bootstrap selection, missing data, safe parsing and CLI exit behavior. Run `pnpm exec vitest run --coverage.enabled=false scripts/performance-report.test.mjs`.

+Configured limits are positive integer bytes; `null` explicitly means observe-only. `scripts/performance-budgets.json` runs `mode: enforce`: an `over-budget` route prints `Performance budgets enforced: <route> (over-budget)` and exits non-zero. Missing production `BUILD_ID`, unsupported manifests, missing routes or missing referenced assets produce `unavailable` with a reason and **no partial/zero total**; under `enforce` an `unavailable` route also fails the command, so a bundler change that breaks measurement cannot pass quietly. Malformed budget configuration or an unwritable output directory always fails the command. Set `mode` back to `informational` only while recalibrating, never as a permanent state.
+
+Synthetic tests cover shared-chunk deduplication, exact byte/gzip calculations, route bootstrap selection, missing data, safe parsing and CLI exit behavior in both modes. Run `pnpm exec vitest run --coverage.enabled=false scripts/performance-report.test.mjs`.

 ## Usage
+
 Run any script directly, or use the dashboard:
 ```bash
 ./scripts/dashboard.sh
 ```
+
+### Keeping the README versions in sync
+
+Bumping a dependency (or the pinned Node.js version) leaves `README.md` stale.
+Rather than editing it by hand, run:
+
+```bash
+pnpm readme:versions        # rewrite README.md to match package.json / .nvmrc
+pnpm readme:versions:check  # verify only; exits 1 when out of date (used in CI)
+```
+
+It manages the `pnpm` and `Node.js` rows of the System Requirements table and
+the "Core stack" line. The CI `check` job runs the `--check` variant, so a
+version change cannot reach `main` with a stale README — the pipeline fails
+until you run `pnpm readme:versions`.
+
+### Updating the catalog (`catalog-sync.sh`)
+
+Compares this hotel's catalog against a clone source (Habbo and the retros) and
+fixes what is broken: missing furniture icons, missing `.nitro` bundles,
+`FurnitureData.json` drift, orphaned/duplicate catalog rows, and items that
+exist in `items_base` but have no catalog offer.
+
+```bash
+pnpm catalog:sync                                   # interactive menu
+./scripts/catalog-sync.sh --list-sources            # which sites can be compared
+./scripts/catalog-sync.sh --all --sources=default-habbo-com
+./scripts/catalog-sync.sh --all --sql --apply-sql   # catalogs changes are written
+```
+
+The menu asks which sources to compare (Habbo (COM) is the preset) and what may
+be written. With no arguments it needs a terminal; with any flag it skips the
+menu, so it is usable from cron.
+
+Every step the engine exposes is available as a flag:
+
+| Flag                                           | What it does                                                               |
+| :--------------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--sources=<a,b>`                              | Compare against these sources (id or display name)                         |
+| `--icons`                                      | Re-download missing furniture icons                                        |
+| `--nitros`                                     | Re-download missing bundles (stored as `.hab`)                             |
+| `--furnidata`                                  | Repair `FurnitureData.json` (add missing, drop duplicates)                 |
+| `--structure`                                  | Repair orphaned / duplicate catalog rows                                   |
+| `--check-ids`                                  | Check `FurnitureData.json` for spriteId conflicts                          |
+| `--sql` / `--apply-sql`                        | Generate / apply the catalog SQL                                           |
+| `--organize-sql`                               | Also emit the `catalog_pages` INSERTs into the SQL file                    |
+| `--import-new`                                 | Import furniture the source has and this hotel lacks                       |
+| `--only=<a,b>`, `--limit=N`, `--concurrency=N` | Narrow and tune the import                                                 |
+| `--reconcile`                                  | Align `FurnitureData.json` with `items_base` after importing               |
+| `--fix-sprite-ids`                             | Correct `items_base.sprite_id` drift                                       |
+| `--rebuild-offers`                             | Rebuild catalog `offer_id` mirrors                                         |
+| `--align-ids`                                  | Move `items_base` ids onto their furnidata ids (report; `--apply` runs it) |
+| `--rename-bundles`                             | Rename legacy `.nitro` bundles to `.hab` (report; `--apply` runs it)       |
+| `--everything`                                 | Every repair + import step, but still none of the destructive ones         |
+
+`--import-new` is the step that actually adds furniture: `cloneSingleFurni`
+downloads the icon and the bundle (sources serve `.nitro`, the local copy is
+stored as `.hab`), appends the `FurnitureData.json` entry **and** creates the
+catalog page plus the offer, exactly like the app's own import. It skips
+anything already present, so it is safe to re-run.
+
+Safety notes:
+- **An audit writes nothing** — no repair flag means read-only.
+- `--dry-run` together with `--import-new` lists what would be imported and
+  imports nothing; use it first on a source before importing thousands of items.
+- Generating the catalog SQL creates the `catalog_pages` sub-pages it references
+  (same as the app's import), so a "generate only" run is not entirely
+  read-only — only the `catalog_items` rows wait for `--apply-sql`. The SQL also
+  lands in `storage/catalog-sync/*.sql` (gitignored) so it can be reviewed or
+  replayed by hand.
+- `--apply-sql` is the only flag that changes the catalog; `--apply` authorises
+  the two heavyweight child scripts (`align-db-ids`, `migrate-nitro-to-hab`).
+  Both only report without it.
+- The engine is the same one the admin _Catalog audit_ page streams
+  (`runCatalogAudit`), so a terminal run and an in-admin run agree.
+- `--json` prints one machine-readable report; `--fail-on-errors` exits `3` when
+  error-severity issues remain, which is what a scheduled check should use.
+- Items that no compared source can provide stay missing: the run reports them
+  instead of inventing an icon or a bundle.

+// Command-line driver for the catalog audit/repair pipeline.
+//
+// The same engine the admin "Catalog audit" UI streams from (`runCatalogAudit`),
+// for the terminal: audit the hotel catalog against one or more clone sources
+// (Habbo and the retros), fix the furniture that is broken, and bring missing
+// items into the catalog — optionally writing and applying the catalog SQL.
+//
+// Usage:
+//   pnpm catalog:sync                        # interactive menu (scripts/catalog-sync.sh)
+//   pnpm exec tsx scripts/catalog-sync.ts --list-sources
+//   pnpm exec tsx scripts/catalog-sync.ts --sources="Habbo (COM)"    # audit only
+//   pnpm exec tsx scripts/catalog-sync.ts --all --sources=default-habbo-com
+//   pnpm exec tsx scripts/catalog-sync.ts --all --sql --apply-sql   # + write/apply SQL
+//
+// Flags:
+//   --list-sources     print the configured clone sources and exit
+//   --tsv              with the above, print `id\tname\tfurnidataUrl` rows
+//   --sources=<a,b>    compare against these sources (id or name, comma-separated)
+//   --icons            re-download missing furniture icons from the sources
+//   --nitros           re-download missing .nitro / swf bundles (stored as .hab)
+//   --furnidata        repair FurnitureData.json (add missing, drop duplicates)
+//   --structure        repair orphaned / duplicate catalog rows
+//   --check-ids        check FurnitureData.json for spriteId conflicts
+//   --sql              generate the catalog SQL for items missing an offer
+//   --apply-sql        apply the generated SQL (implies --sql)
+//   --organize-sql     order the generated SQL by catalog page (implies --sql)
+//   --all              --icons --nitros --furnidata --structure --check-ids
+//   --import-new       import furniture the source has and this hotel lacks
+//   --only=<a,b>       restrict the import to these classnames
+//   --limit=N          stop the import after N items
+//   --concurrency=N    parallel imports (default 3)
+//   --reconcile        align FurnitureData.json with items_base after importing
+//   --fix-sprite-ids   correct items_base.sprite_id drift
+//   --rebuild-offers   rebuild catalog offer_id mirrors
+//   --align-ids        move items_base ids onto their furnidata ids (report;
+//                      add --apply to let the script execute it)
+//   --rename-bundles   rename legacy .nitro bundles to .hab (report; --apply runs it)
+//   --json             print one machine-readable JSON report
+//   --dry-run          with --import-new: list what would be imported, import nothing
+//   --fail-on-errors   exit 3 when error-severity issues remain
+//
+// Audit is read-only by default: nothing is written until one of the repair
+// flags is passed. One nuance: generating the catalog SQL also creates the
+// `catalog_pages` category sub-pages it references (exactly like the app's own
+// import does) — only the `catalog_items` rows wait for `--apply-sql`. Use
+// `--organize-sql` to also emit those page INSERTs into the .sql file.
