- 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.
🚨 Fixed Major Data Leakage Issues:
- Replaced hardcoded user_id = 1 with proper JWT authentication
- Fixed collections API to filter by authenticated user
- Fixed card ownership to use user_cards table (not global cards table)
- Fixed decks API to return only user-owned decks
- Fixed card collections/decks APIs to respect user permissions
- Fixed favorites API to use user_favorites table
🛡️ Authentication & Authorization:
- All endpoints now require valid JWT tokens
- Proper user isolation across all data operations
- Collection permissions properly enforced
- User-specific data queries implemented
🔧 Database Schema Fixes:
- Card ownership now uses user_cards table
- Favorites use user_favorites table
- Decks filtered by user_id
- Collections respect ownership and permissions
⚠️ Development Note:
- Added warning for fallback authentication in dev mode
- Should be removed in production deployment
✅ Data Privacy Secured:
- Users can only see their own collections, decks, and owned cards
- Public collections visible to all (as intended)
- Shared collections respect permission levels
- No cross-user data leakage
🎯 Cleaner Permission System:
- Collections are private/invite-only by default
- Public toggle only controls community visibility (not edit permissions)
- Simplified to: Creator + Invited Collaborators can edit, everyone else view-only
- Only creator can delete collections
📝 UI/UX Enhancements:
- Changed 'Invite User' to 'Invite Collaborator' with clearer messaging
- Replaced visibility dropdown with clean public/private toggle
- Updated role descriptions: 'Collaborator' (editor) and 'Viewer'
- Default invitation role is now 'editor' (collaborator)
- Added explanatory text about collaboration purpose
🔐 Permission Logic Updates:
- Public collections: visible in community but invite-only editing
- Private collections: hidden from community, invite-only editing
- Removed complex visibility states (invite-only/private distinction)
- Updated permission middleware for simplified model
📧 Email Template Updates:
- Clearer role descriptions in invitation emails
- Focus on collaboration and card management permissions
- Removed owner role from invitation options
🗄️ Database Schema Updates:
- Updated APIs to use is_public boolean instead of visibility enum
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing data
- Simplified permission checking logic
The system now has a much cleaner UX: collections are collaborative workspaces that can optionally be made visible to the community! 🚀
