- 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.
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.
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)
- 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,
Voice & Transcription, Saving & Export, Privacy & Security,
Well Visit & Sick Visit, Learning Hub, Troubleshooting
- Documents how AI learns from physician edits (correction tracker)
- Fix FAQ accordion (CSP was blocking inline script, moved to app.js)
- Patch all 5 npm vulnerabilities: nodemailer 8.0.5, xmldom, basic-ftp,
path-to-regexp (npm audit now reports 0 vulnerabilities)
- Remove model category grouping from dropdown (flat list, no optgroups)
- Fix model dropdown dark background on options (white bg, dark text)
- Update FAQ model guidance to reflect admin-managed model selection
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
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
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.
- 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
- 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
- AWS Transcribe: remove 10ms delay between chunks (was adding ~1.25s/MB),
increase chunk size from 8KB to 32KB (AWS max per frame)
- Add detailed timing logs (ffmpeg, streaming, total) for diagnostics
- OpenAI Whisper: use response_format='text' for faster response parsing
- Frontend: show transcription time in toast, request 16kHz sample rate,
increase bitrate to 32kbps Opus (better quality, still small files)
- Return duration in API response for all providers
- Full model management UI in admin panel: toggle models on/off, add custom
model IDs (any OpenRouter/Bedrock ID), set admin-configured default model
- /api/models now returns admin-set default model, frontend respects it
- Toggle switch CSS for clean enable/disable UX
- Backend already had the API endpoints, this adds the missing UI
OIDC/SSO:
- New /api/auth/oidc route with PKCE for secure authorization
- Supports Azure AD, Okta, Keycloak, PocketID, Google, any OIDC provider
- Admin configurable: issuer, client ID/secret, button label
- Option to disable local auth (force SSO only)
- Auto-creates users on first SSO login, links existing by email
- SSO button on login page, hidden until admin enables OIDC
Firefox:
- Show info toast on first recording that live preview requires
Chrome/Edge; server-side transcription still works in all browsers
- Add deduplication logic to prevent Chrome Speech API from repeating
sentences during long recording sessions (all 4 recording modules)
- Enable AWS Transcribe Medical with PRIMARYCARE specialty in .env
- Bump version to 8.0.0
pdf-parse (was v2, broken API):
- Downgraded to v1.1.1 — default export is a function again
- pdfParse is not a function error fixed
WebDAV file selection (style.display bug, same cascade issue):
- lh-ai-webdav-selected had inline style="display:flex" always visible
- selectWebdavFile() / deselectWebdavFile() now use element.style.display
- On select: browser div hides, selected indicator shows with file name + X
- On deselect (X): indicator hides, browser shows again
Topic context for Upload and Nextcloud tabs:
- Both tabs now have optional "Topic / context" field
- Sent to backend as 'topic' param to help AI focus the generated content
Inline refine bar (replaces window.prompt):
- Refine Body button shows/hides an amber inline input bar below generate buttons
- Enter instructions, press Apply — no browser dialog, works in all contexts
CSP: remove unsafe-inline from scriptSrc (security issue #2):
- Converted all 26 onclick= handlers in component HTML files to
data-action / data-target / data-label attributes
- Added delegated click handler in app.js for copy/speak/nc-export actions
- script-src now 'self' only; script-src-attr 'none'
WebDAV path endpoint (security issue #5):
- New POST /api/user/webdav-path (authMiddleware only, not moderator)
- nextcloud.js updated to use new endpoint
nodemailer: already at 6.10.1 (vulnerability fixed).
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.
Adds setOutputText() helper that escapes HTML and converts \n to <br>,
applied to all AI-generated note outputs so line breaks are preserved
in contenteditable divs. Also cleans up CSS for quiz option markers.
- Fix 2FA status stuck at "Loading...": export load2FAStatus globally so
app.js tabChanged handler can call it when navigating via sidebar
- Fix admin models silent failure: add error message + retry button on catch
- Fix save encounter doubles: persist _savedEncId_* to sessionStorage so
page refresh reuses existing record instead of inserting a duplicate;
add _savingInProgress guard to prevent race-condition double-saves
- Desktop sidebar collapsible: add collapse/expand buttons (not collapsed
by default), state saved to localStorage; hidden on mobile
- Copy to Visit Note now also copies SSHADESS assessment to wv-shadess-text
- Store selected visit age in window._wellVisitAge + sessionStorage so
other tabs can read the patient's age
- Bigger screening/vaccine boxes: min-height on wv-vax-list, wv-screen-list,
wv-visit-detail; slightly more padding on vaccine items
- Wire New Patient (clearTab) buttons to document click handler
- Replace horizontal tab-nav with collapsible left sidebar (sticky desktop, slide-in mobile with hamburger toggle)
- Fix tab persistence: use localStorage instead of URL hash; restore last tab after login in enterApp()
- Fix admin CMS models loading: move autoDeleteDays read inside .then() callback (was ReferenceError), switch admin loading from click-only to tabChanged event
- Add Save/Load bars to Hospital Course and Chart Review tabs with popover support
- Add wv (well visit) save handler in encounters.js
- Register load handlers for hospital and chart tabs
- Expand popover prefix list to include hosp and chart
- Add Well Visit tab with three sub-views: By Visit Age, Full Vaccine Schedule, Catch-Up Schedule
- By Visit Age: shows ICD-10/CPT billing codes, vaccines due with dose info, measurements, sensory/developmental/behavioral/procedure screenings, oral health, notes
- Full Schedule: scrollable table of all vaccines vs all visit ages
- Catch-Up Schedule: per-vaccine minimum ages, intervals, and catch-up notes per CDC 2025
- Add pediatricScheduleData.js (1719-line AAP 2025 Bright Futures dataset)
- Add wellVisit.js for tab logic (lazy-initialized on first tab activation)
- Fire tabChanged CustomEvent on tab switch for lazy initialization
- Add Well Visit CSS styles to styles.css
- speakText: revert async ElevenLabs fetch chain — browser requires
speechSynthesis.speak() to be called synchronously within user gesture;
async .catch() context caused silent failure across browsers
- copyText: fix fallback that always showed 'Copied!' even when it failed;
now shows real error message, uses selectNodeContents for accuracy,
handles missing clipboard API gracefully
- Switch speakText() to call /api/text-to-speech backend (ElevenLabs) with fallback to native speechSynthesis
- Upgrade ElevenLabs voice from Rachel to Adam (pNInz6obpgDQGcFmaJgB) — warmer, more professional
- Upgrade model from eleven_monolingual_v1 to eleven_turbo_v2_5 for better quality and lower latency
