Randall Stillwell 7832e03dec docs: post-convoy cleanup for add-rate-limiting — MILESTONE, last P0 closed
Reflects the merged add-rate-limiting convoy (PR #20, squash commit
708ef45) in repo documentation. **This is the milestone cleanup** —
add-rate-limiting closed P0 #6 (No rate limiting anywhere), the LAST
open P0 ship-blocker. `.convoys/ship-readiness.md`'s § Status summary
flips from "7 of 8 RESOLVED; 1 remains" to **"8 of 8 RESOLVED.
Launch-readiness P0 checklist is empty."** One brief in the convoy:
Brief 1 shipped as planned with no scope expansions and no implementer
deviations from the verbatim spec; all six architect decisions ratified
verbatim at gate 1 (D1 operator-ratified Option A; D2-D6
architect-self-ratified).

.convoys/add-rate-limiting.md:
  - frontmatter status: in-progress -> shipped (added shipped: 2026-05-24)
  - new ## As-shipped section. Opens with the milestone language
    pointing back at ship-readiness.md's flipped § Status summary.
    Decisions section captures all 6 ratifications (D1 operator-
    ratified Option A — Critical: WHY the atomic admin UI fix in
    pages/admin/card-import.js was Decision 1's hidden coupling
    requirement, since API gating alone would have broken every
    "Import Cards" click; D2 hybrid named-limiter shape with
    Map<className, Ratelimit> cache; D3 per-class table including
    the two D3 tuning-evidence raises — search 30 -> 60/min because
    ShareModal.handleSearch has no debounce so a 17-char email = 16
    requests in <5s, and generate kept at 5/hour because DiceBear is
    free not paid AI; D4 two-extractor shape with defensive THROW
    on null/empty userId; D5 uniform 429 message; D6 no new vitest
    or playwright specs deferred to fill-vitest-handler-coverage).
    As-shipped surface broken into 4 layers (1 lib refactor + 6 route
    gates + 1 atomic admin UI fix + 1 rule extension) mirroring the
    cors-tighten cleanup's pattern-split shape. Empirical CI metrics
    from post-merge run 26382185019 (Playwright smoke 59s 3/3 in
    3.8s, forbidden-cors-headers pass, vitest 21/21, lint 128 baseline,
    Screenshot diff continue-on-error swallow per Decision 4).
    Cross-validation finding: smoke test 2 still passes against the
    post-rate-limit preview — that's three convoys in a row (PR #15
    Layout default-user, PR #19 CORS-tighten, PR #20 rate-limiting)
    where the same 3-test smoke spec defended the auth surface
    through sweeping changes. Operator-action-required: none. What
    did NOT change audit trail.

.convoys/ship-readiness.md:
  - § Status summary at the top flipped from 7/8 to 8/8 RESOLVED.
    Header text updated to "Launch-readiness P0 checklist is empty."
    P0 #6 row in the table flips from PARTIAL to RESOLVED with the
    two-convoy lineage (fix-auth-bypass Brief 4 + add-rate-limiting).
    Trailing paragraph rewritten as a milestone note: security gate
    closed; remaining launch work is P1 quality bar + P2/P3 polish.
  - P0 #6 entry flipped from PARTIAL to RESOLVED with the full
    add-rate-limiting as-shipped block (8 sub-bullets covering the
    lib refactor shape, the per-class table, the defensive THROW,
    the three import routes' auth-gating, the atomic admin UI fix
    and WHY, the rule extension, the 6 decisions, and the diff
    breakdown). Brief 4's 2026-05-23 partial is preserved as the
    prior as-shipped layer to maintain the audit trail.
  - Launch sequence step 4 marked RESOLVED 2026-05-24 with the
    squash commit + smoke metrics inline.
  - Queued convoys: removed the add-rate-limiting entry (it shipped).
    Added a new delete-dead-lorcana-import entry (P3 polish; the
    Lorcana import route was gated defensively in PR #20 despite
    zero current frontend callers — pages/admin/card-import.js's
    <select> only offers mtg + pokemon — so if Lorcana stays
    permanently out of the admin UI, this is the cleanup PR).
    Added three "flagged but kept out of scope" follow-ups per the
    convoy's § What did NOT change: harden-multipart-parser (P2;
    5MB body still consumed before the 429 path on avatar.js),
    god-function-split / refactor-cards-search-sql (P2; 240-line
    7-branch SQL in cards/search.js), and withAdmin(handler) wrapper
    extraction (P3 DX; the three import routes are call sites #3-5
    in the codebase but uniform inline shape was preserved for
    convoy atomicity). Updated tighten-visual-diff-path-filter to
    note PR #20 also tripped the same false-positive.

AGENTS.md:
  - Gotcha #12 extended end-to-end. Was the single-class auth-only
    lib + the env-var contract; is now the 5-class reality with a
    full per-class table (helper / limit-window / key / routes),
    the defensive THROW pattern in extractUserIdentifier, the
    gate-ordering rule for per-user limiters, and the
    auth → admin-role → rate-limit ordering for the three import
    routes. Prominent milestone line opens the new content:
    "add-rate-limiting convoy (squash 708ef45, PR #20, 2026-05-24)
    closed P0 #6 — all 8 P0s now RESOLVED." Original env-var
    contract paragraph (KV_REST_API_URL / KV_REST_API_TOKEN,
    fail-closed-in-prod / warn-and-noop-in-dev) is preserved
    verbatim above the new content.
  - § 6 Testing: intentionally untouched (no test surface changed;
    vitest 21/21 and smoke 3/3 still apply).
  - § 7 Deployment: intentionally untouched (no deployment-shape
    changed; same KV_REST_API_* env vars from Brief 4).

.cursor/rules/api-routes.mdc:
  - The implementer extended § Rate limiting in PR #20 with the
    per-class table + verbatim call shape + gate-ordering rules +
    identifier-extraction + uniform 429 + fail-closed env-var
    contract + fail-open Upstash-outage behavior. Doc-writer pass
    verified completeness; added a one-sentence convoy-attribution
    line at the top of § Rate limiting citing the two-convoy
    lineage (fix-auth-bypass Brief 4 for the auth class +
    add-rate-limiting for the other four classes and 7 newly-gated
    routes), mirroring the post-cors-tighten § CORS attribution
    shape. No other touch-ups needed.

# AGENTS.md — AI collaboration (tcg-vault)
Guidance for agents and humans working in this repo. Prefer existing patterns over new abstractions.
> Branding note: the repo, README, and seed data say "TCG Vault" and `admin@tcgvault.com`, but the Layout component renders "Deck Hearth". Pick one before launch — see `.convoys/` for tracking.
## 1. Project overview
A web app for managing trading-card-game collections (Magic, Pokémon, Lorcana). Users authenticate, build collections + decks, scan physical cards via a camera+AI-OCR flow, and share publicly. Admin users curate the card database.
- **Framework:** Next.js 16 (Pages router) + React 18, JavaScript (not TypeScript — see Gotcha #9)
- **Data:** Neon Postgres, accessed two different ways — `@neondatabase/serverless` (`lib/database.js`) AND raw `@vercel/postgres` (`pages/api/**`). Pick ONE; see Gotcha #1.
- **Auth:** Custom JWT (jsonwebtoken + bcryptjs), token stored in `localStorage`, sent as `Authorization: Bearer …`. No NextAuth. The secret + canonical 24h TTL come from `lib/auth-secret.js` (single source of truth; throws at module load if `JWT_SECRET` is unset). `getUserFromRequest` returns `null` for unauthenticated requests — no synthetic admin fallback — and login + register are rate-limited (5 attempts / 15 min via `@upstash/ratelimit`). The seed admin row is created at `admin@tcgvault.com` with a password supplied via the required `ADMIN_INITIAL_PASSWORD` env var (`scripts/setup-neon-db.js` exits with code 1 before touching the DB if the var is unset); no credential ships in the source tree. Operators of envs that pre-date the `drop-public-setup` convoy still have the old `admin123` hash in their DB — rotate manually via the app (see Gotcha #4).
- **UI:** Tailwind CSS + custom CSS variables for theming (light/dark via `lib/theme-context.js`)
- **Hosting:** Vercel (`vercel.json`, `.vercel/` present)
## 2. Architecture quick reference
| Area | Path | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pages router views | `pages/*.js` | Public + auth views; uses `components/Layout.js` |
| API routes | `pages/api/**/*.js` | Express-style `handler(req, res)`. **30+ handlers depend on `lib/permission-middleware.js::getUserFromRequest`** |
| Shared UI | `components/*.js` | `Layout`, `CardItem`, `CameraScanner`, modal family |
| Auth + DB libs | `lib/*.js` | `auth-context`, `admin-auth`, `use-auth` (three parallel auth surfaces), `database`, `permission-middleware` |
| Migration scripts | `scripts/*.js` | 27+ one-off "add column" / "seed" scripts. No formal migration tool |
| Card-import jobs | `pages/api/cards/import-*.js`, `scripts/import-*.js` | Scryfall / Lorcana / Pokémon TCG APIs |
| Database schema | `scripts/setup-neon-db.js` | Bootstrap SQL DDL — the source of truth until a real migration tool lands |
| Schema map | `docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md` | Hand-curated; regenerate after schema changes |
Code graph is indexed by `user-code-review-graph` MCP (122 files, 628 nodes, 5602 edges). Ask: *"what calls `getUserFromRequest`?"* before refactoring auth.
## 3. Key conventions
- **Auth (server):** `import { getUserFromRequest } from '../../lib/permission-middleware'` → returns `{ userId, email, role }` or `null`. `null` means "send 401" — always early-return when the user is null before doing any work that depends on their identity.
- **Auth (client):** `import { useAuth } from '../lib/use-auth'`. Avoid `lib/auth-context.js` and `lib/admin-auth.js` for new code — they are legacy parallel implementations.
- **Layout `user` prop:** pages should pass `user` from `useAuth()` to `<Layout>`. Layout's default is `null` and renders a logged-out "Sign in" CTA when no user is supplied — both paths are valid (some surfaces like `pages/invite/{accept,decline}.js` legitimately render Layout for anonymous visitors). Do not reintroduce a hardcoded user object as a default prop.
- **JWT secret + TTL:** `import { JWT_SECRET, JWT_TOKEN_TTL } from '../../lib/auth-secret.js'`. This is the only place either value is defined; do not reintroduce literal fallbacks. `JWT_TOKEN_TTL = '24h'` is canonical.
- **Auth helper (token mint / verify / password hash):** `import { ... } from '../../pages/api/auth-utils'` (`generateToken`, `verifyToken`, `hashPassword`, `verifyPassword`). Reads the secret + TTL from `lib/auth-secret.js` under the hood.
- **Rate limiting:** `import { checkAuthRateLimit } from '../../lib/rate-limit.js'` for any new auth-surface endpoint (`/api/auth/login` + `/api/auth/register` already wired). Returns `{ allowed, remaining, reset }`; on `!allowed` return 429 with a `Retry-After` header. See `.cursor/rules/api-routes.mdc` § "Rate limiting" for the verbatim shape.
- **Permission gate for collection routes:** wrap handlers with `withCollectionPermission('viewer' | 'editor' | 'owner')` from `lib/permission-middleware.js`.
- **DB access:** Use **tagged-template** style — `import { sql } from '@vercel/postgres'`. Avoid the legacy `lib/database.js` `db.query(string, params)` API; its parameter interpolation uses `sql.unsafe` and is a SQL-injection vector.
- **Activity logging:** `logCollectionActivity(collectionId, userId, action, details)` — call it from any handler that mutates a collection.
- **File names:** `kebab-case.js` for libs/scripts; `PascalCase.js` for React components.
- **Imports:** No path aliases configured; use relative imports.
- **Slugs:** `lib/slug-utils.js::generateUniqueSlug` for any user-facing identifier (collections, decks).
- **CSS theme tokens:** Components read `var(--bg-primary)`, `var(--text-primary)`, `var(--accent-ember)`, etc. — defined in `styles/`. Don't hardcode hex colors.
## 4. Common gotchas
- **#1 — Two SQL clients live in parallel.** `@neondatabase/serverless` (used by `lib/database.js`) and `@vercel/postgres` (used by most `pages/api/**` handlers). New code: prefer `@vercel/postgres` tagged templates. Migration to a single client is tracked in `.convoys/`.
- **#2 — `getUserFromRequest` synthetic-admin fallback. RESOLVED** by `fix-auth-bypass` Brief 2 (commit `258e479`). The helper now returns `null` for unauthenticated requests; `pages/api/auth/verify.js` returns 401 on the no-token branch. The 16 unit tests in `test/lib/permission-middleware.test.js` lock in the contract, including a negative regression against the old synthetic-admin shape. Entry kept (not renumbered) to preserve the audit trail and stable cross-references.
- **#3 — JWT_SECRET hardcoded across 7 files. RESOLVED** by `fix-auth-bypass` Brief 1 (commit `4a10dce`). `lib/auth-secret.js` is now the single source of truth and throws at module load when `JWT_SECRET` is unset. Canonical TTL is `JWT_TOKEN_TTL = '24h'`. The `'your-secret-key-change-in-production'` literal is gone from all 7 sites; CI lint passes against the post-fix tree. Entry kept (not renumbered) to preserve cross-references.
- **#4 — Default admin credentials in the seed. RESOLVED** by `drop-public-setup` Brief 1 (commit `ff80753`) + Brief 2 (commit `b63b509`). `scripts/setup-neon-db.js` no longer hardcodes `admin123`; it reads `ADMIN_INITIAL_PASSWORD` from the environment and exits with code 1 before opening a DB connection if the var is unset. README's "Default Admin Account" section is replaced with "First-time admin setup" copy that documents the env var, `openssl rand -base64 24` generation tip, and CI-secret alternative. Brief 2 converted the script from CJS to ESM so `npm run setup-db` actually runs on Node 22.x (the `bump-next-js` convoy's `"type": "module"` flag had silently broken it). **Operator caveat:** the seed is idempotent (`ON CONFLICT (email) DO NOTHING`); re-running setup-db on an env that already has the admin row does NOT rotate the password. Any deployed env that ran setup before this convoy still has the weak `admin123` hash — operators must rotate manually via the app, or wait for the queued `rotate-default-admin` follow-up convoy. Entry kept (not renumbered) to preserve cross-references.
- **#5 — `pages/api/setup-database.js` public endpoint. RESOLVED** by `fix-auth-bypass` Brief 3 (commit `fc0dd73`). The file is deleted along with the other three dev endpoints (`/api/simple`, `/api/test-auth`, `/api/test-db`), and `.github/workflows/ci.yml`'s new `forbidden-endpoints` job fails the build if any of them are re-introduced (or if a new `pages/api/test-*.js` file appears). Entry kept (not renumbered) to preserve cross-references.
- **#6 — Migrations are bare scripts.** `scripts/add-*.js` and `scripts/fix-*.js` are run-once jobs with no idempotency tracking. Adopt `node-pg-migrate`, `kysely`, or `drizzle-kit` before more schema changes.
- **#7 — Dual `is_public` semantics.** Collections and decks both have `is_public` columns; check which controls discovery vs. anonymous read in the relevant route.
- **#8 — Layout has hardcoded default user. RESOLVED** by `fix-layout-default-user` convoy (PR #15, squash commit `ca302a8`). `components/Layout.js`'s default prop is now `null`; `UserProfileDropdown` renders a `<Link href="/login">Sign in</Link>` CTA when `user === null`. Brief 2 also swept the 7 pages that needed page-level fixes (`scanner` / `decks` / `deck-builder` / `deck/[id]` now pass `user={user}` to Layout; `profile` / `settings` replaced leaky `useState({email:'me@…'})` with `useState(null)` + null-guards on every sync `user.*` read; `card/[id]` swapped a hardcoded `const user = {...}` for `useAuth()` from `lib/use-auth.js`). `test/components/Layout.test.js` adds 5 regression-lock assertions (no maintainer email when user is null/omitted; "Sign in" link present; supplied email renders; no "Guest" placeholder); vitest 21/21 green at merge. New devDeps: `jsdom@^29` + `@testing-library/react@^16`. See `.convoys/fix-layout-default-user.md` and `.convoys/ship-readiness.md` P0 #7. Entry kept (not renumbered) to preserve cross-references.
- **#9 — `typescript` is a devDep, but the source is still JavaScript-only.** `package.json` lists `typescript@^5.9.3` purely so `eslint-config-next@16`'s bundled `typescript-eslint` chain can satisfy its hard `require('typescript')` at module load (the `peerDependenciesMeta.typescript.optional: true` flag in `eslint-config-next` only suppresses npm's install-time warning, not the runtime require). There is no `tsconfig.json`, no `.ts`/`.tsx` files, and no `// @ts-check` directives. Do not rename `.js` files to `.ts` or add a `tsconfig.json` without an explicit convoy decision — TypeScript adoption is its own scope. See `.convoys/bump-next-js.md` § Decisions C.
- **#10 — ESLint pinned to v9 (maintenance), not v10 (latest).** `devDependencies.eslint` is `^9.39.4` even though `latest` is `10.4.0`. We tried v10 and `npm run lint` crashed with `TypeError: scopeManager.addGlobals is not a function` because `eslint-config-next@16`'s bundled `typescript-eslint@8.x` predates ESLint v10's redesigned global-ingestion path. Reverted to v9 under Decision D. **Do NOT bump ESLint independently** — wait for the queued `bump-eslint-10` follow-up convoy, which is upstream-blocked until `typescript-eslint` ships a v10-tested release that `eslint-config-next` bundles. See `.convoys/bump-next-js.md` § Decisions D + "Follow-up convoys queued".
- **#11 — Turbopack is now the default bundler.** `next dev` and `next build` use Turbopack by default in Next.js 16. The fallback per command is `--webpack` (e.g. `next build --webpack`). We have no custom `webpack:` block in `next.config.js`, no custom loaders/aliases, and no Sass tilde imports, so Turbopack should "just work" — but if a build/runtime regression appears, reproduce on both bundlers before deciding whether to revert or pin a script to webpack. Do not pre-emptively switch to `--webpack`.
- **#12 — Rate-limit env vars are `KV_REST_API_URL` / `KV_REST_API_TOKEN`, not `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_*`.** `lib/rate-limit.js` reads the Vercel Upstash Marketplace integration's auto-provisioned names. Three other Upstash-shaped vars exist in the Vercel-managed env (`KV_URL`, `REDIS_URL`, `KV_REST_API_READ_ONLY_TOKEN`) but our `@upstash/redis` REST client does not use them — do not wire to them. In prod, the rate-limit module **fails closed** if either of the two REST vars is missing (a single failed login is a better outcome than silently disabling brute-force protection). In dev / test, it warn-and-continues as a no-op so local work is unaffected when Upstash isn't wired up.
**Milestone — `add-rate-limiting` convoy (squash `708ef45`, PR #20, 2026-05-24) closed P0 #6 — all 8 P0s now RESOLVED.** The lib refactored from a single auth-only limiter to **5 named limiters** with a `Map<className, Ratelimit>` cache (one shared Redis client, five `Ratelimit` instances, distinct Redis prefix per class). The five exports + their use cases:
| Helper | Class | Limit/window | Key | Routes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `checkAuthRateLimit(req)` | `auth` | 5 / 15 min | IP | `/api/auth/login`, `/api/auth/register` (Brief 4 contract; byte-identical return shape preserved) |
| `checkSearchRateLimit(req)` | `search` | 60 / 1 min | IP | `/api/users/search`, `/api/cards/search` |
| `checkUploadRateLimit(req, userId)` | `upload` | 10 / 1 hour | user | `/api/user/avatar` |
| `checkGenerateRateLimit(req, userId)` | `generate` | 5 / 1 hour | user | `/api/user/avatar/generate` |
| `checkImportRateLimit(req, userId)` | `import` | 5 / 1 hour | user (admin-only) | `/api/cards/import-mtg`, `/api/cards/import-pokemon`, `/api/cards/import-lorcana` |
All five return the same `{ allowed, remaining, reset }` shape; on `!allowed`, set `Retry-After: Math.ceil((reset - Date.now()) / 1000)` and return 429 with the uniform message `'Too many attempts. Try again later.'` (per-class variation would fingerprint the limits to an attacker — explicitly rejected).
**Defensive THROW pattern.** `extractUserIdentifier(userId)` THROWS with a named error when `userId` is `null` / `undefined` / `''` / `NaN`. Surfaces gate-ordering bugs at dev time rather than silently falling back to IP and converting a per-user limit into a per-IP limit (which would lock household members out for one user's behavior). Numeric `0` is intentionally accepted (returns `'user:0'`) for forward-compat. **Gate-ordering rule: per-user rate-limit gates (`upload`, `generate`, `import`) MUST sit AFTER the auth check.** For the three `/api/cards/import-*` routes, the ordering is also `auth → admin-role check (403 if not admin) → rate-limit`; the admin-role check sits between auth and rate-limit. IP-keyed gates (`auth`, `search`) can sit anywhere after the method check.
Adding a sixth class is a one-line `LIMITER_CONFIG` addition + one new exported function (no `init()` restructuring needed). Tuning an existing class is a one-line `LIMITER_CONFIG` edit. The full verbatim call shape + gate-ordering rules + identifier-extraction documentation live in `.cursor/rules/api-routes.mdc` § Rate limiting.
## 5. Running locally
- **Runtime:** Node 20 (Vercel default).
- **Setup:** `npm install`, copy `.env.local` template (POSTGRES_URL + JWT_SECRET + RESEND_API_KEY + BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN + ADMIN_INITIAL_PASSWORD — the last is required for `npm run setup-db` and the script exits with code 1 if it's unset; optionally KV_REST_API_URL + KV_REST_API_TOKEN to exercise the rate limiter locally — without them, `lib/rate-limit.js` warn-and-no-ops in dev), then `npm run setup-db` once.
- **Dev server:** `npm run dev` → http://localhost:3000.
## 6. Testing
- **Unit-test runner:** `vitest@^3.2.4` (installed via `fix-auth-bypass` Brief 5, commit `1629afb`). `npm test` for watch mode; `npm run test:run` for the CI / single-shot mode. Config in `vitest.config.js`, setup in `test/setup.js` (sets `JWT_SECRET` + `NODE_ENV=test` before any module loads). Specs live under `test/` mirroring source layout (`test/lib/*.test.js`, `test/api/*.test.js`, `test/components/*.test.js`). Last green: 21/21 tests pass.
- **Vitest coverage today:** 21 unit tests — `lib/auth-secret.js` (3), `lib/permission-middleware.js::getUserFromRequest` (8, incl. a negative regression against the old synthetic-admin shape — Gotcha #2), `pages/api/auth-utils.js` (5), and `components/Layout.js` (5 regression-lock assertions for the post-PR-#15 logged-out branch — Gotcha #8). These tests lock in the contracts established by `fix-auth-bypass` Briefs 1 + 2 and `fix-layout-default-user`; do not weaken them when refactoring auth or Layout.
- **E2E / smoke runner:** `@playwright/test@^1.60.0` (installed via `adopt-playwright-smoke`, PR #18 squash `7b6f751`). Config in `playwright.config.js` (root, ESM) declares two projects:
- `smoke``tests/smoke/**/*.spec.@(ts|js)`; invoked by `.github/workflows/preview-smoke.yml`. `npm run test:smoke` locally.
- `visual``tests/visual/**/*.spec.@(ts|js)`; invoked by `.github/workflows/visual-diff.yml`. `npm run test:visual` locally; `npm run test:visual:update` to (re-)seed baselines.
Local-run convention: boot `next dev` in one terminal, then in another run `BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 npm run test:smoke` (or against a deployed preview, `BASE_URL=https://<preview>.vercel.app VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET=<value> npm run test:smoke`). No `next dev` auto-boot in the test scripts (Decision 6 of `adopt-playwright-smoke`).
- **Browsers must be installed once locally:** `npx playwright install --with-deps chromium`. CI re-runs this on every workflow run (it's cached when possible).
- **Visual baselines:** none committed yet. `tests/visual/__screenshots__/` is intentionally absent and intentionally NOT in `.gitignore` (baselines, when they exist, must be committed). First-run baseline generation MUST happen in a Linux environment so the PNG matches what CI produces. Recommended path is the Playwright Docker image:
```
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work -w /work \
mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.60.0-noble \
sh -c "npm ci && BASE_URL=<preview-url> \
VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET=<value> \
npm run test:visual:update"
```
Mac-generated baselines will NOT match Linux CI — `playwright.config.js`'s custom `snapshotPathTemplate` has no `{platform}` token, so a Mac update silently overwrites the canonical Linux baseline. Tracked as the queued `seed-visual-baselines-on-linux` convoy (see `.convoys/ship-readiness.md` § Queued convoys).
- **CI behavior:**
- **Vitest:** the `test:` job in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs `npm run test:run` on every PR and push to `main` and is **blocking** (no `|| true`, no `continue-on-error`). A red test job blocks merge.
- **Playwright smoke:** runs on every PR via `preview-smoke.yml`. Gate skip via `pipeline: skip smoke` in the PR body (handled in the `gate:` job's Decide step via env-var routing — see § 7's shell-injection note). Last measured runtime: 59s end-to-end, 3/3 tests pass in 2.9s (PR #18 post-merge run).
- **Screenshot diff:** runs only on PRs touching `pages/**` / `components/**` / `styles/**` / `tailwind.config.js` / `postcss.config.js` via `visual-diff.yml`. **First `Screenshot diff` run after `adopt-playwright-smoke` will fail at the test step** because no baseline exists yet; `continue-on-error: true` swallows the failure and the comment-on-PR step posts "Visual Diff — view run" with empty artifacts. That is the documented Decision-4 end state of `adopt-playwright-smoke`, not a regression — it stays that way until `seed-visual-baselines-on-linux` lands.
- **Manual QA:** `TESTING_GUIDE.md` still applies for flows not yet covered by automated tests (scanner camera path, card-import jobs, multi-step UI wizards). The automated smoke + visual suite is steadily eclipsing it; `TESTING_GUIDE.md` will be renamed to `docs/MANUAL_QA.md` and trimmed to truly-manual-only flows in a future cleanup convoy (see `.convoys/ship-readiness.md` § Role-doc-writer findings).
## 7. Deployment
- **Vercel** auto-deploys `main` and creates Preview deployments for every PR. `vercel.json` and `.vercel/` are committed. CI in `.github/workflows/` runs lint + types (no duplicate build — Vercel handles it).
- **Preview protection bypass for automation.** The project has a Protection Bypass for Automation token exposed locally as `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` in `.env.local` (not committed) and seeded into GitHub Actions as a repo secret (`gh secret set VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET`, 2026-05-24). The secret is consumed in two shapes:
1. **Query parameter** on `wait-for-vercel-preview@v1.3.2`'s `path:` input in both `preview-smoke.yml` and `visual-diff.yml``path: '/?x-vercel-protection-bypass=…'`, bare form, **without** `&x-vercel-set-bypass-cookie=true` (the cookie variant returns 307 + Set-Cookie and axios in Node has no cookie jar, so it 401s on the redirect). Plumbed by PR #17 (`fix-vercel-deployment-protection-in-ci`, squash `9a3e077`).
2. **HTTP header** in `playwright.config.js`'s `use.extraHTTPHeaders``'x-vercel-protection-bypass': <secret>`. Playwright's browser context has a real cookie jar so this shape works there, and the testOptions surface forwards the header to the test-level `request` fixture's `APIRequestContext` as well, so both `page.goto(...)` calls and `request.get('/api/health')` calls hit the protected preview correctly without per-spec header injection. Plumbed by PR #18 (`adopt-playwright-smoke`, squash `7b6f751`) per Decision 2 of that convoy.
Decision 2 also wires a **fail-loud-in-CI / warn-in-dev** predicate: `if (process.env.CI === 'true' && !process.env.VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET) throw ...` (with an error message that names the env var, the `gh secret set` rotation command, and points at this section); otherwise `console.warn` once and continue with `extraHTTPHeaders` undefined. Same fail-closed / warn-and-no-op shape as `lib/rate-limit.js`'s Upstash predicate — see Gotcha #12.
Do not log or echo the value. If the operator rotates the token in the Vercel dashboard, re-seed the GitHub secret via `gh secret set VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET --body "<new value>"`. See `.convoys/fix-vercel-deployment-protection-in-ci.md` and `.convoys/adopt-playwright-smoke.md`.
- **Shell-injection hardening in workflow YAML.** Never inline `${{ github.event.* }}` directly into a `run:` block — route the value through the step's `env:` block and quote it (`"$VAR_NAME"`) in shell. PR #17's CI validation caught a real syntax error from a PR body containing `(` because the gate-job's Decide step inlined `${{ github.event.pull_request.body }}` straight into bash; commit `b6f8688` swept both `preview-smoke.yml` and `visual-diff.yml` to the `env:` + quoted-shell pattern. This is GitHub's official Security Hardening guidance ("Security hardening for GitHub Actions" → "Using a third-party action"). Apply to any new workflow that reads PR body / title / branch name / commit messages in shell.
## 8. Code graph
A local code-knowledge-graph MCP server (`user-code-review-graph`) is set up for this repo. Ask "what calls X?" or "show me the flow from /api/auth/login" instead of grepping. See [`docs/agent-context/README.md`](docs/agent-context/README.md).
