The "Download Android app (APK)" link on the login page is pointless
when the user is already inside the Capacitor app. Wrapped the link
in id="apk-download-link" and added a native-app-only hide pass in
auth.js that runs against a short array of web-only element IDs.
Add more entries to that array as other web-only UI appears, so the
mobile wrapper can diverge cleanly from the web UI without branching
the HTML.
Previous check was strict (canLocalAuth !== true → hide). On a
transient /me hiccup or when the boot cache lagged, a legit local
user saw empty Settings with none of the sections they should see.
Inverted the predicate: hide only when canLocalAuth === false
(explicit SSO-only signal from the server). Undefined/missing now
defaults to show — local-auth users never lose their own UI.
Still hides correctly for the documented SSO-only case because the
/me endpoint sets the flag to false explicitly for those users.
Age parser (src/routes/billing.js):
- Now sums year + month + week + day matches so "4 yr 11 mo"
(59 months) correctly maps to the 5-11y billing bracket instead
of being billed as 1-4y. Added bounds sanity check.
Graceful SIGTERM shutdown (server.js):
- Closes the HTTP listener first, then drains batched audit queues,
then ends the Postgres pool. 9-second hard deadline to beat
Docker's 10-second SIGKILL. Previously an in-flight note save
during a container restart could truncate the write.
Explicit LLM fallback opt-in (src/utils/ai.js):
- The OpenRouter / LiteLLM silent fallback now requires admin
setting `ai.allow_model_fallback = true` (default: false). If
primary fails and fallback is disabled, the error is surfaced
to the caller. Prevents silent spillover from a BAA-covered
primary to a non-covered fallback.
Prompt injection delimiters (src/utils/promptSafe.js):
- Wraps user transcripts, dictations, refine-instructions, and
pasted documents in <UNTRUSTED_*>...</UNTRUSTED_*> tags and
appends an explicit system instruction telling the model to
treat the wrapped content as data rather than commands.
- Applied to soap.js, hpi.js, refine.js. Extend to other AI
routes incrementally.
Cross-tab logout sync (public/js/authFetch.js, auth.js):
- BroadcastChannel('pedscribe-auth') — logout in one tab posts
a message; all sibling tabs clear state and reload, dropping
any PHI-containing UI immediately.
Backup code race-free consumption (src/routes/auth.js):
- tryConsumeBackupCode() now uses a Postgres transaction with
SELECT ... FOR UPDATE so concurrent login attempts using the
same code serialize. First wins, second sees the already-
shortened array.
Optimistic encounter locking (migrations/...add-encounter-version):
- saved_encounters.version INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1
- POST /api/encounters/saved accepts an expected_version and
rejects with 409 if the row has advanced. Falls back to
last-write-wins if the client doesn't pass one (backward compat).
Audit log batching (src/utils/auditQueue.js):
- Audit / api_log / access_log writes are buffered in memory and
flushed every 1s or every 50 entries via one multi-row INSERT.
Under load this reduces DB pressure by ~50x. On SIGTERM the
shutdown path drains the queue before exiting.
Follows the same pattern as Change Password and 2FA sections —
hidden by default in the HTML, revealed only when canLocalAuth=true.
Why: revoke technically deletes the PedScribe session row and clears
the cookie on that device, but the SSO user can re-auth instantly
because their IdP session is still live. Surfacing a "revoke" button
that the IdP will immediately undo is misleading. SSO users now see
only the SSO-relevant sections of Settings.
settings load2FAStatus():
- Explicit credentials: 'same-origin' on the /me fetch (was relying
on fetch defaults, which can behave oddly in some browsers/edges)
- Fall back to window.CURRENT_USER (cached at login) if /me fails,
so local-auth users still see their password/2FA sections after
a transient error. Keeps cache in sync on each successful fetch.
enterApp():
- Cache the logged-in user object on window.CURRENT_USER so modules
that need the canLocalAuth flag don't have to re-fetch /me.
2FA regenerate modal:
- Previous call passed a wrong-shape options object to showConfirm.
Updated to the correct (message, callback, opts) signature with
input:true, inputType:'password', placeholder, required.
OIDC email_verified check:
- Accept boolean true or string 'true' for robustness. Some IdPs
serialize ID-token booleans as strings.
Sections were briefly visible for SSO-only users before load2FAStatus
resolved and hid them. Flipped the default: both sections now carry
style="display:none" in the HTML and are revealed only when the /me
fetch confirms the user has a real password hash.
SSO-only users never see the sections, even for a flash.
Endpoint guards (defense-in-depth over hidden UI):
- POST /api/auth/change-password: 400 with SSO-aware message if
the caller's stored password is not a real bcrypt/argon2 hash.
Prior behaviour was to fail at passwords.verify() with an
ambiguous "current password is incorrect".
- POST /api/auth/setup-2fa: 400 with same SSO-aware message for
SSO-only accounts. Prior behaviour allowed TOTP setup on an
account where it could never actually trigger (user never logs
in locally).
OIDC account-link safety (src/routes/oidc.js):
- Auto-link to an existing local account now requires the IdP to
assert email_verified=true in the ID token (or userinfo). If
absent/false, the callback redirects with ?error=email_unverified.
Prevents an attacker at a misconfigured IdP from taking over a
local account by claiming an email they don't own.
- If an existing user already has oidc_sub set and the incoming
sub is different, refuse with ?error=sub_mismatch. Prior
behaviour silently did nothing, hiding a potential attack.
- Audit 'oidc_linked' written on first successful link.
Frontend:
- Added user-facing messages for the two new SSO error codes.
Middleware:
- Log to console.warn + audit_log when a session is killed for
inactivity. Shows up in Grafana/Loki so you can see how often
users actually get kicked. Audit action: 'session_idle_timeout'
- last_activity throttle bumped 5 min → 10 min — halves DB writes
per active user. Idle precision slop widens to 24h00-24h10;
still invisible in practice.
Per-user local-auth visibility:
- /api/auth/me now returns user.canLocalAuth: true when the stored
password is a real bcrypt / argon2 hash, false for the random
blob OIDC auto-creates for SSO-only users.
- Settings page hides "Change Password" and "Two-Factor
Authentication" sections when canLocalAuth is false — those UIs
are meaningless for users whose sign-in lives at the IdP.
- Password hash is not leaked in the /me payload.
Mobile (restating existing behaviour for clarity): no idle check,
365-day JWT in Keychain/Keystore, never auto-logs-out. Only logout
triggers are: manual logout, password change, admin revoke, JWT hit
365d, or app uninstall.
Session model:
Web — 24h sliding idle timeout enforced server-side via
user_sessions.last_activity. 30-day JWT + cookie are a
safety net; middleware is the real clock. Cookie is
re-set on active use so browsers match the sliding window.
Mobile — 365-day JWT, no idle timeout (stays persistent via Keychain
/ Keystore). Detected via User-Agent ("PedScribe" /
"Capacitor") or X-Client: mobile header.
2FA backup codes:
- 10 single-use codes generated when 2FA is first enabled
- Stored as bcrypt hashes in new users.totp_backup_codes column
- Consumed atomically on successful login fallback (when TOTP fails)
- Regenerate endpoint (POST /api/auth/2fa/backup-codes) requires
current password; invalidates prior codes
- Count endpoint (GET /api/auth/2fa/backup-codes/count) powers a
"N codes remaining" indicator on the 2FA settings card
- Modal shows codes exactly once with Copy + Download .txt actions
- Codes cleared when 2FA is disabled
New files:
src/utils/platform.js — isMobileClient() helper
Schema migration (idempotent):
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS totp_backup_codes TEXT
Runtime split driven by window.Capacitor.isNativePlatform():
Web browser
- No token in localStorage / sessionStorage — XSS can't read it
- Server-set httpOnly cookie carries the session
- fetch() default credentials='same-origin' sends the cookie
- getAuthHeaders() returns Content-Type only, no Authorization
- Middleware already falls back to cookie when Bearer is absent
Capacitor native (iOS / Android)
- Unchanged — Bearer token lives in Keychain / Keystore via the
capacitor-secure-storage-plugin SecureStorage wrapper
- Bearer header still sent on every request
enterApp() / clearSession() / getAuthHeaders() all now branch on
isNativeApp(). Legacy localStorage entries from the dual-mode era
are wiped on clearSession() for users migrating in.
Rollback: git reset --hard pre-httponly-only-2026-04-14
- 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
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)

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
- OIDC callback now passes only ?sso=ok flag, token stays in
httpOnly cookie (prevents token leaking to logs/referrer/history)
- Frontend auth.js uses cookie-based auth for SSO flow
- Add [PHYSICIAN TEMPLATES] boundary markers around physicianMemories
in all 5 generation routes to mitigate prompt injection
- Consistent boundary format across wellVisit, sickVisit, hpi, soap,
hospitalCourse
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
Login flash:
- Auth screen now hidden by CSS default (#auth-screen{display:none !important})
- auth.js shows it only when there is no valid token or token is expired
- No more flash of login page on refresh for logged-in users
Presentation quiz option (AI Generate panel):
- Presentation type now shows optional quiz question toggle (same as article)
- Backend: when questionCount>0, returns JSON {marpMarkdown, questions[]}
instead of plain Marp markdown
- applyAiContent fills both the Marp textarea and question blocks for presentations
Viewer revert:
- Removed the viewer presentation card change (user wants markdown as-is)
- Removed dangling viewer button wiring
Feed/CMS list:
- Presentation type shows correct icon (fa-presentation-screen) and
label "Slides" in the CMS content list
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.
Quill tooltip: move tooltip element to document.body via patchQuillTooltip()
so overflow:hidden on .cms-main cannot clip it. Recalculates position from
container-relative to viewport (fixed) coordinates with viewport clamping.
Removes overflow:hidden from quill wrappers; applies border-radius to toolbar/container.
Registration: hide #show-register by default in HTML; reveal only after
registration-status fetch confirms enabled=true. Endpoint already returns 403
when disabled — no backend change needed.

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

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
