Backend changes:
- Removed authentication requirement from GET /api/users/:username endpoint
- Removed authentication requirement from GET /api/users/:username/ratings endpoint
- These are public profile endpoints and should be accessible to all users
Frontend changes:
- PublicProfilePage now shows NotFoundPage component when user doesn't exist
- Unified 404 behavior: both invalid URLs and non-existent users show the same 404 page
- NotFoundPage "Requested URL" box now only shows in dev mode (import.meta.env.DEV)
- Removed unused AlertCircle icon import from PublicProfilePage
Backend Changes:
- Added public API endpoint /api/public/log-404 (no auth required)
- Created backend/src/routes/public.js for public endpoints
- Added ACTIONS.SYSTEM_404 and CATEGORIES.system to activity log service
- Registered public routes in app.js

- Added publicAPI.log404() to log 404 access attempts
- Logs both authenticated and anonymous users
- Changed profile route from /@:username to /u/:username
- Made profile route public (removed ProtectedRoute wrapper)
- Updated all profile links from /@${username} to /u/${username} in:
- ChatMessage.jsx
- DashboardMatchCard.jsx
- MatchRequestCards.jsx
- MatchCard.jsx
- UserListItem.jsx
- MatchChatPage.jsx
- PublicProfilePage.jsx
Fixes:
- React Router doesn't support @ in path segments

- Added app.set('trust proxy', 1) to allow Express to read proxy headers
- Enables proper client IP detection behind nginx reverse proxy
- Added /api/debug/ip endpoint for IP forwarding verification
Without trust proxy, Express ignores X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers,
causing all requests to appear from nginx container IP (172.x.x.x).
This fix ensures:
- Activity logs record correct client IPs
- Rate limiting works per actual client IP
- Security features function properly
Add comprehensive message validation with three protection mechanisms:
1. Rate Limiting: 10 messages per minute per user
2. Duplicate Detection: Prevents sending identical messages within 1 minute
3. Profanity Filter: Blocks inappropriate language (English + Polish)
Implementation:
- New messageValidation.js middleware with validateMessage() function
- Integrated into both event chat and match chat handlers
- Uses bad-words library (v2.0.0 for CommonJS compatibility)
- In-memory tracking with automatic cleanup every 5 minutes
- User-friendly error messages for each validation type
Technical details:
- Rate limit: 10 msg/min sliding window
- Duplicate check: Last 5 messages within 60s window
- Profanity: bad-words + 11 Polish words
- Memory management: Periodic cleanup of expired data
Added message length validation to prevent spam and improve UX with
character counter feedback.
Backend:
- Added MESSAGE_MAX_LENGTH constant (2000 characters)
- Validation in send_event_message handler:
- Check if content is string
- Check if not empty after trim
- Check if not exceeding max length
- Validation in send_match_message handler (same checks)
- Returns error message if validation fails
Frontend:
- Added MESSAGE_MAX_LENGTH constant (2000 characters)
- ChatInput component enhancements:
- maxLength attribute on input (hard limit)
- Character counter shows when >80% of limit
- Counter turns red when at limit
- Submit button disabled when at limit
- Counter format: "X/2000"
UX:
- User sees counter at 1600+ characters (80% of limit)
- Hard limit prevents typing beyond 2000 chars
- Clear visual feedback (red text) when at limit
- Consistent validation on both event and match chats
Security:
- Prevents spam with extremely long messages
- Protects against potential DoS via message size
- Database already uses TEXT type (supports limit)
Fixed issue where active users list in event chat did not update in
real-time when new users joined. Users had to refresh the page to see
newly joined participants.
Root Cause:
- getAllDisplayUsers() used checkedInUsers (loaded once from API) as
base list, with activeUsers (Socket.IO real-time) only for isOnline flag
- When new user joined chat, they appeared in activeUsers but not in
checkedInUsers, so they were not displayed
Solution:
- Rewrote getAllDisplayUsers() to prioritize activeUsers (real-time data)
- Merges activeUsers (online) with checkedInUsers (offline checked-in users)
- Uses Socket.IO data as source of truth for online users
- Enriches with database data when available (firstName, lastName, etc)
- Sorts online users first, offline second
Changes:
- EventChatPage.jsx: Rewrote getAllDisplayUsers() to merge activeUsers
with checkedInUsers, prioritizing real-time Socket.IO data
- useEventChat.js: Added debug logging for active_users events
- socket/index.js: Added debug logging for active_users emissions
Testing:
- User A in chat sees User B appear immediately when B joins
- No page refresh required
- Online/offline status updates in real-time
Added 3 admin-only endpoints for activity log management:
1. GET /api/admin/activity-logs
- Query logs with comprehensive filtering
- Supports: date range, action, category, username, userId, success
- Pagination with limit/offset
- Logs ADMIN_VIEW_LOGS action
- Returns: logs array, total count, pagination info
2. GET /api/admin/activity-logs/actions
- Get list of unique action types
- Returns: action names and categories
- Useful for filter dropdowns in UI
3. GET /api/admin/activity-logs/stats
- Dashboard statistics
- Returns: total logs, unique users, failed actions,
success rate, logs by category, recent activity (24h)
All endpoints protected with authenticate + requireAdmin middleware.
Database changes:
- Add ActivityLog model for comprehensive activity tracking
- Track all user actions (auth, events, matches, admin)
- Denormalized username for query performance
- JSON metadata for flexibility
- Multiple indexes for common filter patterns
- Add isAdmin flag to User model for admin access control

- Add "Pending" status badge with clock icon for pending suggestions
- Keep Accept/Reject buttons for recorder view (TO_RECORD)
- Dancers see only status badge and optional chat button
UX flow:
- Dancer sees: "Recording you: @username [Pending]"
- Recorder sees: "You record: @username [Accept] [Reject]"
- Only recorder's action creates the Match
- Admin list endpoint returns totalSuggestions, assignedCount, aggregatedNotFoundCount per run
- UI: show Total/Matched/Not found columns using fresh aggregates
- Add anchor link Run #ID and wording 'Pairs created in this run'

This completes the recording stats flow by allowing users to easily
access the match chat after accepting a recording suggestion.
Fix race conditions and edge cases in recording stats update mechanism:
1. Race condition prevention:
- Use atomic updateMany with statsApplied=false condition in rating endpoint
- Prevents duplicate stats increments when both users rate concurrently
- Only one request wins the race and applies stats (matches.js:834-843)
2. Multiple heats handling:
- Check for existing Match by (user1Id, user2Id, eventId) instead of suggestionId
- Ensures one Match per dancer-recorder pair regardless of number of heats
- Reuses existing Match and chat room (events.js:1275-1291)
3. Documentation improvements:
- Add comprehensive JSDoc explaining manual vs auto-match design decision
- Clarify fairness metrics measure algorithmic assignments, not voluntary collaborations
- Document user role convention (user1=dancer, user2=recorder)
Edge cases are verified through atomic operations and code review rather than
complex integration tests to maintain test clarity and reliability.
Test Results: 304/305 tests passing (99.7%)
Coverage: 74.63% (+0.1%)

- Add comprehensive unit tests (5) and integration tests (5)
Convention: Stats only updated for auto-matches (source='auto') to ensure
fairness metrics reflect actual algorithmic assignments, not manual matches.
Test Results: 304/305 tests passing (99.7%)
Coverage: 74.53% (+1.48%)

Implemented display of country flags and competitor numbers in event chat messages:
- Country flags displayed as emoji (🇸🇪, 🇵🇱, etc.) with proper emoji font support
- Competitor numbers shown in #123 format next to usernames
- Normalized data architecture with user and participant caches on frontend
- User data (username, avatar, country) and participant data (competitorNumber) cached separately

Both users.test.js and auth-phase1.5.test.js were failing due to
unique constraint violations on wsdc_id field when running after
other test suites. Added wsdcId to cleanup queries and proper
deletion of related data (messages, matches, eventParticipants).
