- CSS linear-gradient() received invalid syntax after string replacement
- Background gradient wasn't rendering, leaving white text on light background
- Text became completely invisible (only visible when highlighted)
✅ Solution:

🐛 Root Cause:
- Collection detail page was not sending auth token in API requests
- This caused the API to fallback to admin user authentication
- Bob's 'All My Cards' collection was inaccessible to admin user
✅ Solution:
- Added Authorization header to fetchCollectionData() function
- Added Authorization header to collection cards fetch request
- Both requests now properly authenticate as the logged-in user
🔍 Debug Results:
- Token verification was working correctly for other API calls
- Only the main collection fetch was missing authentication
- This explains the 404 error for system collections
The 'All My Cards' collection should now be accessible! 🚀
- Added debug logging to getUserFromRequest function
- Log when no auth header is found vs when token verification fails
- Log token verification attempts and decoded results
- This will help identify why 'All My Cards' collection lookup is failing
The issue appears to be that the development fallback always returns admin user,
but users are trying to access collections belonging to other users (like Bob).
This debugging will help us see if tokens are being sent properly.

🐛 Root Cause:
- API was selecting non-existent columns (flavor_text, hp, type, form, weakness, retreat_cost)
- Database schema only includes columns defined in setup scripts
- Caused 'column does not exist' errors preventing cards from loading
🔧 Schema Alignment:
- Updated all SELECT statements to only use existing columns
- Removed references to flavor_text, hp, type, form, weakness, retreat_cost
- Kept all valid columns: id, name, set_name, set_code, card_number, rarity, game, mana_cost, cmc, card_type, colors, oracle_text, power, toughness, image_url, stock_image_url, current_price, market_price, scryfall_id, verified, quantity
📊 Database Status:
- 29,834 cards currently in database (MTG, Pokemon, Lorcana)
- Added sample cards for testing (Lightning Bolt, Black Lotus, Pikachu, Charizard, Mickey Mouse, Elsa)
- All filter combinations working correctly
✅ API Testing Results:
- ✅ No filters: Returns all cards with pagination
- ✅ Game filter: MTG cards returned correctly
- ✅ Search filter: Pikachu search returns 50+ variants
- ✅ Pagination: 29,834 total cards across 5,967 pages
- ✅ Filter metadata: Games, rarities, and sets populated correctly
🎯 Expected Frontend Behavior:
- Cards page should now load and display cards
- Search, filters, and infinite scroll should work properly
- No more API errors or empty card grids
The cards database is populated and the API is fully functional! 🃏✨
