Replace [years] + [months dropdown] with a single text field that
accepts:
3y / 3 years / 3 yr
29m / 29 months / 29 mo
2y5m / 2 years 5 months / 2 yr 5 mo
3.5 years / 36 (plain number = months)
15 days / 2 weeks / 3y 2m 10d
Enables fractional ages so newborns can be plotted accurately
(WHO/CDC growth curves are continuous — "0 months" means at birth,
not a 0-27 day bucket, so a 15-day-old should plot at ~0.5 months).
Live hint below the field shows how the input was interpreted
("= 2 yr 5 mo (29 mo total)").
- App-layer AES-256-GCM crypto helper (src/utils/crypto.js)
- Nextcloud tokens encrypted at rest; transparent migration on next use
- Audio backups encrypted at rest (version byte 0x01 envelope); legacy
rows still decrypt as-is until overwritten
- argon2id password hashing via src/utils/passwords.js with bcrypt
fallback; bcrypt hashes rehashed to argon2id on next successful login.
argon2 package is optional — server keeps running with bcrypt only
until npm install adds the native dep
- PHI redactor for audit log details (src/utils/redact.js) — strips SSN,
phone, email, DoB, long IDs; caps at 500 chars; detects note bodies
- DOMPurify (cdnjs, SRI-pinned) replaces custom regex sanitizer in
Learning Hub content rendering
- SRI integrity hashes added for Font Awesome CSS and Chart.js
- Magic-byte file-type verification on document uploads
(src/utils/fileType.js)
- Generic 500 error responses via src/utils/errors.js applied to
nextcloud and audioBackups; full detail still logged server-side
- DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY env documented in .env.example
Deploy: requires rebuild of the container image to pick up the new
files and `npm install` (adds argon2). Existing users keep working
because bcrypt stays available and crypto helpers pass through
plaintext when the key is not yet set in dev.
- JWT_SECRET fails fast at startup in production
- CORS fails closed if APP_URL + CORS_ORIGINS are both missing
- Explicit HSTS (1y, includeSubDomains, preload)
- Rate limit sensitive auth endpoints (change-password, 2FA)
- /api/health now returns {ok:true}; details gated behind admin auth
- Login enumeration removed — generic 401 + dummy bcrypt on miss
- ReDoS guard: 20KB input cap on /suggest-codes
- showToast uses textContent, no innerHTML
- clearSession() clears service worker caches on logout
- OIDC state is now HMAC-signed and stateless (survives restart)
- SSRF guard on admin-set OIDC issuer (blocks private IPs, requires HTTPS)
Adds docs/mobile-build.md covering APK build, release, git push,
keystore, and troubleshooting for both PedScribe and PedsHub apps.
Web still uses localStorage; Capacitor native app now routes
token/user/session-id through capacitor-secure-storage-plugin
(iOS Keychain, Android EncryptedSharedPreferences / Keystore).
A thin SecureStorage wrapper detects Capacitor at runtime and
falls back to localStorage elsewhere, keeping a single auth.js
codebase for both targets.
To activate on mobile: cd mobile && npm install && npx cap sync android
Loki logs now include:
- User agent string (browser/device identification)
- Session ID (ties actions to specific login session)
- Status field (success/failure)
New logging:
- encounter_load: logged when user opens a saved encounter (with label)
- copy_to_clipboard: logged when user copies note content (PHI access)
- Client event endpoint: POST /api/logs/client-event (auth required)
Encounter save/delete/load all include the encounter label for
patient identification in audit trail.
HIPAA audit trail now covers: who, what, when, from where, which
device, which session, what patient data, success/failure.
Exchange transfusion data (AAP 2022) now covers GA 35, 36, and 38+ weeks
with and without risk factors, hour-by-hour from 12-96h (510 more data
points). Total bilirubin data: 1020 data points (6 photo + 6 exchange
tables x 85 hours each). No interpolation needed for any hour.
Replace interpolated thresholds with exact hour-by-hour values
extracted from PediTools API for every hour from 12-96h:
- 6 phototherapy tables (GA 35/36/38 x with/without risk factors)
- 85 data points per table = 510 total values
- No interpolation needed — exact AAP 2022 nomogram values
- Exchange transfusion thresholds for GA 38 (with/without risk)
Phototherapy thresholds updated with exact values extracted from
PediTools (validated against AAP 2022 nomograms):
- Separate tables for GA 35, 36, and 38+ weeks
- With and without neurotoxicity risk factors
- Hour-specific values at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 120h
Previous approximations were 1-3 mg/dL too low (conservative but
inaccurate). New values match the published AAP 2022 curves exactly.
Exchange transfusion thresholds added for GA 38+ weeks (with/without
risk factors). Displayed alongside phototherapy threshold in results.
GA selection expanded: 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40+ weeks.
Chart now shows both phototherapy and exchange transfusion lines.
Also: fixed Loki port conflict (3100->3101), added logs.pedshub.com.

Replace static vital signs table with interactive age group dropdown.
Each selection shows: HR (awake/sleeping), RR, SBP, DBP, temperature,
SpO2 target, weight range, and age-specific clinical notes.
10 age groups: preterm through 18 years. Values from Harriet Lane
Handbook 23rd Edition. Includes AAP 2017 BP classification thresholds
for ages 13+, ETT sizing formulas, and clinical pearls (orthostatic
testing, febrile tachycardia, athletic bradycardia, etc.).
Full reference table preserved as collapsible "View All Age Groups".
New feature: after generating any clinical note, the app automatically
suggests relevant billing codes displayed as clickable chips below the output.
Backend (src/routes/billing.js):
- POST /api/suggest-codes endpoint analyzes note text
- Extracts diagnoses from Assessment section via regex
- Looks up ICD-10 codes: local common pediatric map (40+ conditions)
first, then NLM Clinical Tables API for unknown terms
- Suggests CPT E/M codes based on note type, visit complexity,
ROS/PE system counts, and MDM level estimation
- Supports: outpatient (new/established), well visit (age-based),
ED, inpatient (admit/subsequent/discharge)
Frontend (public/js/app.js):
- suggestBillingCodes() renders collapsible card with ICD-10 and CPT chips
- Click any chip to copy the code to clipboard
- Shows E/M level assessment (diagnosis count, ROS, PE, MDM complexity)
- Disclaimer: "Suggestions only. Always verify codes."
Integration: called after note generation in all 6 tabs
(encounter, SOAP, sick visit, well visit, hospital course, chart review)
Calculators tab with 7 tools:
- BP Percentile (AAP 2017) with age/sex/height classification

- Growth Charts: weight-for-age, length-for-age, head circumference,
weight-for-length (WHO/CDC LMS), Fenton preterm (22-50 weeks)
- Bilirubin: AAP 2022 phototherapy threshold + Bhutani nomogram
with Nelson Table 137.1 risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia
- Vital Signs by Age (Harriet Lane) with quick reference formulas
(estimated weight, min SBP, ETT size, maintenance fluids 4-2-1)
- Body Surface Area (Mosteller formula)
- Weight-Based Dosing with max cap and volume calculation
Fix growth chart sub-tab navigation (pills scoped separately from
top-level nav to prevent panel disappearing)
- Fix: DELETE all other sessions query used empty string fallback when
req.sessionId was undefined, causing id != '' to match ALL rows
(including current session). Now skips deletion if sessionId unknown.
- Fix: Revoke All endpoint returns error if current session not identified
- Fix: var confirm shadowing window.confirm in password change handler
- Replace browser prompt() with inline UI for: 2FA disable (password field),
admin password reset (inline input), admin test email (inline input)
- Remove all password breach warning UI (login, register, settings)
Backend HIBP check endpoint remains but is no longer called from frontend
- Remove model cost display from dropdown and header badge
- Hide empty cost-badge element in header
- Fix model dropdown to flat list (no category grouping)
- Add FAQ tab with accordion sections: Getting Started, AI & Models,

- Add trust proxy for correct client IP in rate limiting and audit logs
- Add CORS support for multiple domains (CORS_ORIGINS env var)
- Add HIBP breach check endpoint and inline warnings on password fields
Audit logging:
- Add audit logging to all 24 PHI-handling endpoints across 13 route files
- Covers: generation, transcription, TTS, refine, encounters, documents, Nextcloud
- All fire-and-forget (no response delay)
AI improvements:

list (with live ListFoundationModels attempt), Azure returns built-in list
- Add Test button on every model row (built-in, discovered, custom) that
sends a live prompt and shows response + latency in a toast
- Add TTS management section: search voices from provider API (Google TTS
voices.list, LiteLLM /v1/models, ElevenLabs /v1/voices), Set as Default
writes tts.voice/tts.model to DB, runtime respects DB override
- Add STT management section: search models from provider (Gemini, Whisper,
LiteLLM, OpenAI, local), Set as Default writes stt.model to DB, runtime
respects DB override in transcribe.js

- Milestones will be managed via hardcoded static data only
- Kept backend routes and database support for future use
ADDED:
- Refresh button in Learning Hub CMS content list
- Manual refresh for AI-generated content updates
- Better discoverability of content refresh functionality
FIXES:
- AI learning content now has visible refresh button
- Users can manually refresh content list after AI generation
- Cleaner admin panel without milestone management clutter
NOTE:
- Developmental milestones still work via static fallback
- Edit milestones by modifying public/js/milestonesData.js
- Backend API still supports milestone management if needed later
NEW FEATURES:
- Bulk Import button in Admin Panel → Developmental Milestones section
- "Import Default Milestones Data" button appears when database is empty
- "Re-import All" button to clear and re-import all static data
- Visible notice when no milestones exist with one-click import
IMPROVEMENTS:
- Auto-shows empty state notice when database has no milestones
- Backend bulk-import endpoint now supports clearExisting parameter
- Imports ALL age groups from static data (birth to 11 years)
- Better UX - admin doesn't need CLI to populate milestone data
FIXES:
- Makes milestone admin editing feature discoverable and usable
- No need to manually run import script anymore
FIXES:
- Milestones now show correctly on encounter page (use static fallback if DB empty)
- Static data preserved as MILESTONES_DATA_STATIC for compatibility
- Database-driven milestones still work (admin can edit via CMS)
NEW FEATURES:
- OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication support (PocketID, Keycloak, Azure AD, etc.)

- Drag-and-drop supports multiple files
- Better file upload validation and error handling
- Added clarifying comments about embedding truncation
FINAL WORKING SOLUTION:
Previous attempts failed because:
- transformers.js v2.17.2 is ES module-only
- Module workers require complex CSP and external imports
- importScripts() doesn't work with ES modules
Solution:
- Use transformers.js v2.6.2 (has worker-compatible UMD build)
- Bundle library + models, serve entirely from our server
- Classic worker with importScripts() - no CSP issues
What's self-hosted:
- ✅ transformers.min.js (760KB) - at /models/transformers.min.js
- ✅ Whisper models (42MB) - at /models/Xenova/whisper-tiny.en/
Worker loads:
1. importScripts('/models/transformers.min.js') - OUR SERVER
2. Loads models from /models/ - OUR SERVER
3. ZERO external network calls
4. Works in any network (firewalled, air-gapped, etc.)
This is the production-ready, truly offline solution.
Issue: transformers.js is an ES module package and cannot be loaded
with importScripts() in classic workers.
Solution:
- Changed to module worker (type: 'module')
- Import transformers.js from CDN as ES module
- Models (42MB) still served from local server at /models/
Trade-off:
- Library (900KB): Loads from cdn.jsdelivr.net once, cached
- Models (42MB): Self-hosted, served from /models/ (no CDN)
This is necessary because:
1. @xenova/transformers is ES module-only (package.json: "type": "module")
2. ES modules cannot use importScripts()
3. Module workers require HTTPS for imports
4. CDN is HTTPS and cacheable
If CDN is blocked:
- Use Web Speech API (with privacy warnings)
- OR use Server Transcription (Vertex AI/AWS)
Models remain self-hosted as they're 40MB+ and contain the AI.
Provides two transcription options:
1. Browser Whisper (Offline, Batch) - RECOMMENDED
- 100% offline, zero network calls
- HIPAA-compliant, audio never leaves device
- Highest accuracy (Whisper)
- Processes after recording (batch mode)
- Models self-hosted, bundled in v2
2. Web Speech API (Real-time, Streaming) - EXPERIMENTAL
- Real-time transcription (see words as you speak)
- Uses browser's built-in speech recognition
- ⚠️ Sends audio to cloud (Chrome/Edge → Google)
- ⚠️ NOT HIPAA-compliant
- Requires user consent with clear warnings
Features:
- Settings UI for both options
- Clear privacy warnings for Web Speech
- Mutual exclusion (only one active at a time)
- Browser detection shows which provider is used
- Confirmation dialog before enabling Web Speech
Use Cases:
- Clinical/HIPAA: Use Browser Whisper only
- Personal/Non-clinical: Can use Web Speech for real-time feedback
- Maximum privacy: Browser Whisper (offline)
- Maximum speed: Web Speech (if privacy not required)
Implementation:
- speechRecognition.js: Web Speech API wrapper
- transcriptionSettings.js: Settings UI handler
- Privacy info displayed per browser
User can choose based on their privacy vs. speed preference.
Features:
- Admin can add, edit, and delete developmental milestones via dashboard
- Milestones stored in PostgreSQL (developmental_milestones table)
- Client-side loads milestones from API instead of static file
- Import script to migrate existing static data to database
- Organized by age group and domain
- Supports sorting and filtering
Admin UI:
- New section in Admin panel for milestone management
- Filter by age group
- Add/Edit modal with validation
- Delete with confirmation
- Auto-complete for age groups and domains
API Endpoints:
- GET /api/milestones-data - Public endpoint for authenticated users
- GET /api/admin/milestones - List all milestones (admin only)
- GET /api/admin/milestones/meta - Get age groups and domains
- POST /api/admin/milestones - Create milestone
- PUT /api/admin/milestones/:id - Update milestone
- DELETE /api/admin/milestones/:id - Delete milestone
- POST /api/admin/milestones/bulk-import - Bulk import
Usage:
1. Run import script: node scripts/import-milestones.js
2. Access Admin dashboard → Developmental Milestones section
3. Add/Edit/Delete milestones as needed
BREAKING FIX: Browser Whisper now fully self-contained
Previous issue:
- Loaded transformers.js from cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Downloaded models from cdn-lfs.huggingface.co
- Failed in corporate/clinical networks with firewall
- Stuck at "Initializing..." with no progress
Solution:
- Bundle transformers.js library (~876KB)
- Bundle Whisper tiny.en model (~42MB)
- Serve everything from local server
- Works in ANY network environment
Changes:
- whisperWorker.js: Load transformers from /models/ instead of CDN
- Dockerfile: Download models during Docker build
- Add download script for local dev
- Add comprehensive setup documentation
Docker image size: +~42MB (one-time cost, runtime benefit)
Tested: Works on unrestricted and firewalled networks
REALITY CHECK: Browser Whisper CDN loading cannot work in all environments
- Corporate firewalls block cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Network proxies filter JavaScript CDN
- Workers + importScripts + cross-origin = blocked by CSP/CORS
SOLUTION: Graceful degradation
- Clear user-friendly error messages
- Automatic fallback to server transcription
- Warning banner in Settings if CDN blocked
- Comprehensive troubleshooting documentation
Changes:
- browserWhisper.js: Show toast on worker error, fallback gracefully
- app.js: Display CSP warning banner on preload failure
- settings.html: Add warning about network/firewall requirements
- BROWSER_WHISPER_TROUBLESHOOTING.md: Complete guide for users
Key Message:
Browser Whisper is OPTIONAL. Server transcription (Google/AWS/OpenAI)
is the primary method and works everywhere. Browser Whisper is a
privacy-focused bonus feature that requires CDN access.
User Experience:
- If CDN works: Great! Browser Whisper available
- If CDN blocked: No problem! Server transcription works perfectly
- Clear messaging: User knows what to expect
- Allow empty voice value to preview server default
- Display 'server default' in preview text
- Clears user preference (sets to null) when testing default
ROOT CAUSES FOUND AND FIXED:
1. TTS Preview not working: voicePreferences.js listening for wrong event
- Was: 'tab-loaded' (never dispatched)
- Now: 'tabChanged' (correct event name used by app.js)
- Added immediate init if page already loaded
- Added 500ms delay for DOM readiness
2. Browser Whisper CDN blocked: CSP too restrictive
- Added 'unsafe-eval' to scriptSrc (required by transformers.js)
- Added cdn.jsdelivr.net to connectSrc (worker importScripts)
- Added childSrc directive for worker script loading
- Better error messages in worker
3. Worker loading errors: Now logged with specific reasons
- importScripts wrapped in try-catch
- Posts error message to main thread
- Verifies transformers object exists after load
Testing:
- TTS Preview should now work when clicking Settings tab
- Browser Whisper should load from CDN (or show specific error)
- Console logs will show exact init sequence
The button was always returning null because it searched for onclick=speakText
but all output cards use data-action="speak" data-target="id". Now checks
data-action first so the button correctly toggles to Stop during playback.
- Raise express.json limit from 1MB to 10MB — handles large chart reviews
with many notes (50 full clinic notes ≈ 600KB, well within new limit)
- Client-side: warn user if payload >8MB, friendly toast if >30 notes
- Bump to v13.0.0
- TTS response now includes X-TTS-Provider header (google-tts, litellm/model, elevenlabs)
- Frontend reads header and shows actual provider in toast instead of hardcoded "Adam/ElevenLabs"
- CORS exposes X-TTS-Provider header so frontend can access it
- Updated .env.example: clarify that LITELLM_TTS_MODEL and LITELLM_STT_MODEL
can be either the model_name alias OR the full provider/model path depending
on your LiteLLM config (important for BAA compliance routing)
- TTS: switch from OpenAI SDK to axios (same fix as STT), drop voice
param since it's configured inside LiteLLM per model
- Fix 'ElevenLabs unavailable' toast shown even when provider is LiteLLM
- Add dedicated red Stop button to encounter recording UI
- LITELLM_MODELS = [] — no hardcoded models, global selector now only
shows what admin has actually added via Search API
- getAvailableModelsWithOverrides: for LiteLLM returns only custom list
- Remove toggle safety check — admin can disable any/all models freely
- Admin panel always reloads on tab open (was cached, showing stale data)
- Add 'Clear all models' button for LiteLLM to wipe and start fresh
- Add POST /config/models/clear-all endpoint
- Root cause: PUT /config/:key(*) wildcard was registered before
/config/models/toggle and /config/models/default, intercepting them
and returning "value is required" (body had modelId not value)
- Fix: move all model-specific PUT routes before the wildcard
- LiteLLM: return empty built-in list with discovery hint (hardcoded
models don't match user's proxy — must use Search API)
- After adding a discovered model: auto-select it in the default dropdown
- GET /config/models now returns defaultModel so dropdown pre-selects it
- Add Vertex AI provider (Gemini models via @google-cloud/vertexai SDK)
- Add LiteLLM proxy support (OpenAI-compatible, routes to any provider)
- Admin panel: model search/discover from provider API, enable/disable, custom models, set default
- New endpoints: /config/models/discover, /config/models/add-discovered, /config/models/default
- Updated models.js with VERTEX_MODELS and LITELLM_MODELS lists
- Updated health endpoint with vertex + litellm status
Audio Backups:
- New audio_backups table in PostgreSQL (bytea, gzip compressed)
- POST /api/audio-backups — upload with gzip compression (level 6)
- GET /api/audio-backups — list user's backups
- GET /api/audio-backups/:id/audio — download decompressed audio
- DELETE /api/audio-backups/:id — delete backup
- Auto-cleanup every hour (24h expiry)
- Frontend saves to server first, falls back to IndexedDB
- Settings shows source badge (server/local) per backup
AI Corrections:
- Corrections list is now expandable — click to view original vs corrected
- Shows red "Original" and green "Corrected to" sections
- Click arrow to expand/collapse each correction
- Date shown on each correction
The admin model management (enable/disable, custom models, default override)
had persistent rendering issues. Removed the UI panel — models are managed
via the global model selector in the header, which works reliably. Backend
API endpoints for model config are retained for future use.
- Add GET /api/transcribe/status endpoint — returns whether any server
transcription provider (Whisper/AWS/Local) is configured
- Frontend checks status on login via checkTranscribeStatus()
- When no provider configured: recording stops instantly, keeps live
Web Speech API text, shows friendly toast — no error, no upload wait
- Works in encounter, dictation, and SOAP tabs
- App now works fully out-of-the-box with just an AI provider key
