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outdated result back into the cache.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.
Add an alerting/stats layer over the existing CrowdSec integration:
- New crowdsec-alerts.ts: cooldown-gated ops alerts (Redis NX lock, TTL from
HEALTH_ALERT_COOLDOWN_MIN) fanning out through the app's sendAlert service.
Raised for daily quota exhaustion, block bursts (5-min window past
CROWDSEC_ALERT_BLOCK_BURST), and signal-push failures.
- New crowdsec-stats.ts: daily counters (lookups/blocks/reports/report_fail)
in Redis with a 14-day reader for the admin panel.
- Shared 403/429 backoff: the pause marker now lives in Redis
(crowdsec:backoff-until) so every instance honours it, not just the process
that hit the limit.
- Atomic quota reservation: INCR-before-call with self-rollback on overshoot,
so concurrent instances can never slip calls past the daily ceiling.
- Admin anti-DDoS page gains a last-14-days activity table next to the quota bar.
- Bound the in-process verdict cache (FIFO eviction at 2000 entries) so a
flood of distinct bucket-tripping IPs cannot grow it without limit.
- Record block metadata (reputation, score, behaviors, category, TTL) in
antiddos:block:meta:{ip}, surfaced as the reason in the admin block list;
unban now also clears the metadata and report locks.
- Track daily CTI enrichment usage in Redis (crowdsec:usage:{date}); warn
once at 80% and pause lookups until tomorrow at CROWDSEC_CTI_DAILY_QUOTA
(default 10000, 0 = unlimited) so a via-spread DDoS cannot burn the plan.
- Add opt-in signal push to the CrowdSec community (CAPI watcher): stable
auto-generated 48-char machine_id/password pair persisted in Redis (or via
env), one-time registration, cached JWT login, optional Console enrollment,
and POST /v3/signals with a ban decision, deduped per IP. Never throws and
reports last status to the admin panel with a verify action.
- Admin page: quota usage bar, reporting status/verify channel, and CrowdSec
block reasons in the active-blocks list.
- new crowdsec-api lib: CTI lookup (GET /smoke/{ip}, freemium x-api-key), verdict parser with false-positive veto, 1h Redis + in-memory verdict cache, NX lock dedupe, 403/429 backoff; writes only the shared antiddos:block:{ip} key (value "crowdsec") and never touches Cloudflare
- gate fires it fire-and-forget for IPs that already tripped a rate bucket, so known-bad IPs are hard-blocked before the local maxViolations threshold
- runtime config: crowdsecAutoBlock toggle, score threshold (0-5, default 4), block TTL (default 24h); boot defaults CROWDSEC_AUTO_BLOCK_ENABLED / CROWDSEC_BLOCK_SCORE / CROWDSEC_BLOCK_TTL_SECONDS
- admin panel: CrowdSec stat card, verify-connection action, score/TTL settings, CrowdSec source badge in the blocked-IPs list
- credentials live in env only (CROWDSEC_API_KEY); block is enforced per-request via proxy on the resolved X-Forwarded-For / CF-Connecting-IP
- tests: crowdsec-api unit suite + ddos-guard integration suite (early-block, threshold, cache dedupe, backoff)
- gate creates a zone IP Access Rule (block) for proxied offenders that hit the block threshold, deduped until the tiered block expires
- cloudflare-api lib: verified endpoints, create/delete/verify/list helpers, Redis-backed tracking + 30s TTL sweep (instrumentation worker + admin render)
- runtime toggle cloudflareAutoBlock in antiddos config; boot default CLOUDFLARE_AUTO_BLOCK_ENABLED
- admin panel: Cloudflare edge-blocks card with verify + remove-rule actions; unban also lifts the edge block
- credentials live in env only (CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN / CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID)
- 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
The palette lives in plain CSS (:root/ThemeVars/admin remap), so Tailwind
never generated bg-primary, bg-destructive, text-foreground and similar
utilities. Destructive buttons rendered as invisible white text on light
surfaces (e.g. the Nitro cleanup delete button). Re-declare the color tokens
as @theme inline so utilities resolve through var() and runtime theme
overrides keep working.
- 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
Keep every animation transform/opacity-only so frames never repaint:
- hero ring and loading glow pulse via opacity instead of background-position / box-shadow
- button shine sweeps with transform, not left
- floating glass chips drop animated backdrop-filter (it re-samples every frame)
- promote continuously animated layers (particles, halo, float) with will-change
- drop the negligible blur on moving clouds and remove the unused gradient-shift
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.
Theme Manager under /admin-next/hotel/theme-manager lets the owner save, apply, rename, delete, import, and export custom themes, plus set a custom site background by URL or upload. Themes are stored in WebsiteSetting/custom_themes JSON so they survive CMS updates.
Scan distinguishes fake, broken, and orphaned SWF/icon assets with age
metadata, deletes per asset kind, re-downloads broken nitro bundles from
configured sources, auto-cleans old fake leftovers, and exports a JSON
manifest. Adds rebuild and auto-clean API endpoints with audit coverage
and a housekeeping preview route under the hotel domain.
Verified: full vitest suite (2213 tests), typecheck, and biome all pass.
AvatarImage is used on server pages via UserAvatarThumbnail but lacked
'use client', so the onError handler on its <img> could not cross the
RSC boundary. /login rendered the error page, hanging the news e2e
journey until the 240s test timeout.
- Mark AvatarImage as a client component like ProfileImage
- Replace inline <img onError> on mod/users server pages with the
client AvatarImage component
Make /admin/catalog a full-screen catalog studio that replaces the old
listing plus separate [id]/builder-club detail pages:
- Embed CatalogManagerWorkspace on /admin/catalog with a Normal/Builder
Club toggle, Catalog Sync status, packages (normal), Organize imports
and a diagnostics link to /admin/studio/maintenance.
- Manage BC items directly in the studio Items tab (new BcItemsEditor,
CRUD via existing bc actions; /api/admin/catalog/items now serves BC).
- Inline editor: add pageTextTeaser field for both catalogs and remove
the legacy full-editor links.
- Remove the 'Open full editor' context action from the tree.
- Move catalog-items-table (dir + barrel) and catalog-translate-tab out
of the app route into src/components/admin/catalog and update all
importers.
- Keep /admin/catalog/[id], builder-club/[id] and /admin/catalog/maintenance
as redirects into the new studio; consolidate maintenance panels into
/admin/studio/maintenance and point the nav item there.
- Delete the old listing/table/tabs/forms and the standalone bc-manager.
Introduce getCachedAdminCount to cache un-filtered table count(*) queries in Redis for admin lists (starting with UsersPage), avoiding heavy full table scans on every request while keeping exact counts for search/filtered queries.
Add rateLimit protection to /api/paypal/create, /api/paypal/capture, /api/tokens, /api/radio/shouts, and /api/articles/[slug]/comment to prevent abuse and spamming.
The interactive batch ignored the client's Translate option, so translated names never landed in the language files during a bulk run. Patch each successful item through patchLocalizedFurniDataEntries (mutex-guarded, best-effort) when translation is requested, surfacing failures as item warnings instead of failing the import.
Mirror interactive batch runs into the import-job store so interrupted imports (restart, time-out, disconnect) can be resumed from Import History. Items are checkpointed as they settle (coalesced, serialized saves) and the mirror starts 'running' so the boot-time worker marks it 'interrupted' instead of double-importing; done items are never re-imported. Add bounded backoff retry for transient download/connection failures before marking an item failed, and point the client's time-out/network toasts at Import History.
