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
