Radosław Gierwiało 25236222de feat(matching): prevent auto suggestions when manual match exists + comprehensive test scenarios
Matching Service:
- Fetch manual matches at start of runMatching() (suggestionId: null)
- Build manualBlockedPairs set with both directions (A:B and B:A)
- Skip recorder candidates if manual match exists between dancer and recorder
- Ensures no duplicate matches on /matches page
- Manual match = user-controlled, algorithm respects user decisions

Documentation (docs/TODO.md):
- Add comprehensive matching system test scenarios (S1-S16)
- Document 4 critical gaps (P0): ratings/stats, admin middleware, participant validation
- Document 3 high priority items (P1): cleanup conflicts, rate limiting, notifications
- Document 6 medium priority items (P2): audit endpoints, zombie cleanup, reminders
- List 11 edge cases for team discussion (E1-E11)
- Clear priority ranking and questions for team

Critical Findings:
- recordingsDone/recordingsReceived fields exist but NEVER updated (fairness broken!)
- Admin endpoints lack security middleware
- Inconsistent event participant validation across endpoints

Test Coverage:
- S1-S7: Implemented (basic flow, collisions, limits, manual vs auto)
- S10: NOT IMPLEMENTED - ratings/stats system (CRITICAL!)
- S11: Partially implemented - audit trail exists, API endpoints missing
- S14: Partially implemented - recorder-only auth works, admin middleware missing
- S15-S16: NOT IMPLEMENTED - security, notifications

spotlight.cam Backend

Node.js + Express backend for spotlight.cam - P2P video exchange app for dance events.

Features

  • Express REST API
  • CORS enabled
  • Health check endpoint
  • Error handling
  • Unit tests (Jest + Supertest)
  • PostgreSQL integration (planned)
  • JWT authentication (planned)
  • Socket.IO for real-time chat (planned)
  • WebRTC signaling (planned)

API Endpoints

Health Check

  • GET /api/health - Backend health status

Future Endpoints

  • POST /api/auth/login - Login user
  • GET /api/users/me - Get current user
  • GET /api/events - List events
  • POST /api/matches - Create match
  • POST /api/ratings - Rate partner

Testing

Tests are written using:

  • Jest - Test framework
  • Supertest - HTTP assertions

Run tests:

npm test

Current test coverage:

  • Health check endpoint
  • 404 error handling
  • CORS configuration
  • JSON body parsing

Docker

Build and run with Docker Compose (from project root):

docker compose up --build

Backend will be available at:

Next Steps

  1. Basic Express setup
  2. Health check endpoint
  3. Unit tests
  4. PostgreSQL connection
  5. Database schema and migrations
  6. Authentication (JWT + bcrypt)
  7. Socket.IO for real-time chat
  8. WebRTC signaling
