Root cause for "invalid credentials" on correct password was a
corrupt btree index (idx_users_email) causing user lookups to miss
existing rows. Fixed by REINDEX DATABASE. Keeping a typed catch
around passwords.verify() so any future verify throw is logged
cleanly instead of bubbling as 500.
- 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.
- 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
Security:
- Add session management: users can view/revoke active sessions in Settings
- Add password change in Settings (requires current password, HIBP check)
- Force logout all sessions on password reset
- Fix logout to destroy server-side session (was only clearing cookie)
- 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:
- Refine now includes original source material (transcript, notes, labs)
so AI can reference the full input when modifying output
- Add correction tracking (trackAIOutput) to sick visit and well visit tabs
- Fix sickvisit missing from encounter save noteIdMap
UI fixes:
- Non-blocking busy bar for transcription and AI generation (replaces full-screen overlay)
- Fix encounter recording: hide record button during recording (was showing two stop buttons)
- Fix ROS/PE "All WNL" stacking duplicate event handlers; add Clear buttons
- Enlarge AI instructions textarea in Learning Hub CMS
Domain:
- Primary domain now app.pedshub.com, with scribe.pedshub.com and peds.danvics.com as CORS origins
- Add Cloudflare Turnstile to login, register, and password reset forms
- Switch AI provider to LiteLLM, transcription to OpenAI Whisper
- Change domain to scribe.pedshub.com
- Fix PPTX export: add tables, bold/italic, numbered lists, code blocks, blockquotes
- Fix announcement banner close button (CSP was blocking inline onclick)
- Fix auth middleware: empty Bearer token now falls through to cookie auth
- Fix audio backups: only save on transcription failure, stop auto-deleting on success
- Soften AI correction injection to prevent model hallucination from correction history
- Fix LiteLLM TTS model name handling (no incorrect openai/ prefix)
- Expand AI instructions textarea in Learning Hub CMS
- Update README for v6 with all features and providers
- Add comprehensive docs/: architecture, API reference, database schema,
authentication, AI providers, speech, learning hub, configuration, deployment
Emails: white card, clean typography, dark button, no gradients.
Same minimal aesthetic as Linear/Resend/Notion emails.
Verify page responses also updated to match.
REVERT: httpOnly cookie auth removed — reverts to JWT in localStorage.
The cookie implementation broke the login page (always-hidden auth screen).
localStorage token approach is restored fully:
- Login/register return token in JSON body
- getAuthHeaders() sends Authorization: Bearer header
- Session check reads localStorage token on load
- clearSession() removes localStorage token
Fix: slide preview padding — section elements now have 40px 48px padding
so text is not flush against the frame edges.
Kept from v3.14: AI panel context-aware options (word count, slide count,
quiz question toggle), delete confirmation wording per content type.
AI Generate panel:
- Content type synced from editor on open
- Article/Pearl: optional word count field
- Presentation: optional slide count field
- Questions row: checkbox toggle for article/pearl (optional), always on for quiz,
hidden for presentation; count input shown only when enabled
- Backend: passes wordCount/slideCount to prompt; questionCount=0 skips questions
Delete confirmation:
- Wording built dynamically from content type
- Presentation: no mention of questions
- Quiz: "All quiz questions will be permanently removed"
- Article/pearl: "Any quiz questions attached will also be removed"
Auth refactor — JWT → httpOnly cookie:
- Backend: setAuthCookie() sets ped_auth as httpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, 7d
- Backend: clearAuthCookie() on POST /api/auth/logout (new endpoint)
- Backend: auth middleware reads ped_auth cookie first, falls back to Bearer header
- Login/register: no longer return token in JSON body; cookie is the session
- Frontend: getAuthHeaders() returns only Content-Type (no Authorization header)
- Frontend: session check uses /api/auth/me via cookie (no localStorage token)
- Frontend: clearSession() calls /api/auth/logout to clear cookie server-side
- Frontend: no token in localStorage; window.AUTH_TOKEN removed
- All FormData fetches use credentials:'same-origin' (cookie sent automatically)
- index.html: optimistic auth-screen hide (removed localStorage token check)
Tested: login, logout, /api/auth/me, admin routes, FormData uploads, cookie httpOnly
flag, 401 without cookie, cookie cleared on logout.
- New dedicated Content Manager tab (WordPress-like layout) with:
- Stats dashboard (published, drafts, categories, quizzes, attempts)
- Sidebar with category tree and filter controls (status, category)
- Table-style content list with search
- Full-page editor with title bar, meta fields, body editor, quiz builder
- Content Manager visible only for admin and moderator roles in sidebar
- Removed CMS from admin panel (admin panel is admin-only again)
- Email templates: fully responsive with max-width, proper mobile breakpoints,
table-based layout for Outlook/Gmail compatibility, no overflow
- Security: escape all user data in emails with escHtml(), escape APP_URL
in verify-email HTML, replace raw err.message with generic errors in auth
- Security: email body from admin settings now HTML-escaped before rendering
