fix: restore login page accessibility and wire silent token refresh

The admin layout guard rendered only a "Redirecting to login..." placeholder
for the /admin/login child route, trapping every unauthenticated visitor.
Exempt the login route from the auth gate so the form renders correctly.

Also wire the new POST /api/auth/refresh endpoint (from the dual-token
migration) into both auth.init() and the api request() 401 handler, so
sessions survive the 15-minute access-token lifetime without a hard logout.

Adds a Playwright regression test asserting the login form is visible
in a clean (no-cookie) browser context.

+## Vulnerability Reports
+
+If you find a security vulnerability, please do not open a public issue. Instead, report it privately to the maintainers.
+
+## Audit Documentation
+
+### RUSTSEC-2023-0071 (h2)
+
+We currently ignore `RUSTSEC-2023-0071` in our `cargo audit` step. This vulnerability relates to the `h2` crate (an HTTP/2 implementation) being susceptible to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack via rapid stream resets.
+
+**Risk Assessment:**
+- TutorTool is typically deployed behind a reverse proxy or Kubernetes ingress controller (e.g., Nginx, Traefik, Istio).
+- Most modern ingress controllers mitigate this attack at the edge before it reaches the backend service.
+- We are tracking the upstream fixes in the Axum/Hyper ecosystem and will remove this ignore once the dependency tree is fully patched and verified.
+
+## Hardening Decisions
+
+- **Password Hashing:** Argon2id is the standard for all new passwords. Legacy bcrypt hashes are lazily migrated on successful login.
+- **JWT Auth:** Access tokens are short-lived (15 mins), and refresh tokens (7 days) are used for rotation. Both are stored in `HttpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict` cookies. The JWT contains minimal data (user ID and roles only); sensitive data like email is fetched from the database when needed.
+- **Security Headers:** CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options are enforced by the backend middleware.

 # Implementation Plan: Room Editor Refactor (Core & Logic)
 
-**Objective:** Standardize the room layout data model, align backend/frontend types, and refactor the core editor logic for robustness and grid-based precision.
+**Objective:** Fix the pixel vs. grid-unit mismatch in stored room data, and robustify the editor for professional room planning.
 
-**Background:** 
-The current room implementation suffers from naming inconsistencies (`type` vs `kind`) and coordinate system mismatches (pixels vs grid units). The editor logic in `RoomCanvas.svelte` is basic and needs to be more robust to support professional room planning.
+**Background:**
+The editor (`RoomCanvas.svelte`) already stores and renders in grid units (1 unit = 40 px). However, the demo seed (`demo_seed.sql`) was written with raw pixel values (e.g. `width: 200`), causing demo Room A to render broken (200 grid units = 8000 px). Any room created via the editor since launch is correct; any room predating the editor's grid-unit switch (or the demo room) is broken. A one-time data migration is the first priority.
+
+**Note on the `type`/`kind` field:** `backend/src/models.rs:81` already bridges this with `#[serde(rename = "type")] pub kind: String`. The wire format is `type` and `frontend/src/lib/types.ts:33` already uses `type`. **No rename is needed.** If the Rust internal name is ever changed to `type`, a raw identifier (`r#type`) is required since `type` is reserved.
+
+**Note on backend validation:** `backend/src/routes/rooms.rs:18–69` already implements `validate_layout` with empty-layout check, unique IDs, allowed types (`seat`, `table`, `gap`, `door`), unique seat labels, and non-negative geometry. Tests at lines 184–322 cover all of it. **Task 2 below replaces the previously planned duplicate work.**
+
+**Note on `SeatMap.svelte`:** This plan does **not** touch `SeatMap.svelte`. Its retirement and replacement with a dynamic renderer is handled by the sibling visualization plan. Any `LayoutElement` contract change made here must be cross-checked against `backend/src/routes/checkin.rs:53,194` (which deserialises it) and `frontend/src/lib/types.ts:86` (`CheckinInfo.layout`).
 
 ---
 
-## 1. Data Model & Type Alignment
+## 1. Data Migration & Seed Fix
 
-### Task 1: Standardize LayoutElement Naming
+### Task 1: Pixel → Grid-Unit Migration
 **Files to Modify:**
-- `backend/src/models.rs`
-- `frontend/src/lib/types.ts`
+- `backend/migrations/003_normalize_room_layout_units.sql` *(create)*
 - `backend/demo/demo_seed.sql`
+- `backend/src/routes/rooms.rs` (update tests that assert large numeric coordinates)
 
 **Changes:**
-- Unified field name `type` (using `#[serde(rename = "type")]` if necessary in Rust, or changing it consistently).
-- Standardize coordinate units: All `x`, `y`, `width`, `height` values in the database will represent **grid units** (e.g., 1 unit = 40px) rather than raw pixels.
-- Update `demo_seed.sql` to use these normalized grid units.
+- Write `003_normalize_room_layout_units.sql`. For each row in `rooms`, parse `layout_json`; if any element has `x`, `y`, `width`, or `height` > 50, divide all four by 40 and update the row. This heuristic is safe because grid-unit values are small integers/half-steps (max ~30), while pixel values are large (typically 80–800).
+- Update `demo_seed.sql:16–41` to use grid units (e.g. `width: 200` → `width: 5`). The 24 elements in demo Room A need to be re-measured in grid units.
+- Update any integration tests in `rooms.rs` that rely on large pixel-scale layout values.
 
-### Task 2: Backend Validation
+### Task 2: Backend Validation (Scope Reduction)
 **Files to Modify:**
 - `backend/src/routes/rooms.rs`
 
-**Changes:**
-- Add validation logic to `POST /api/admin/rooms` and `PUT /api/admin/rooms/:id/layout`.
-- Ensure all elements have unique IDs.
-- Validate that `type` is one of the allowed strings (`seat`, `table`, `door`, `gap`).
+**Changes (additive only — do not duplicate existing logic):**
+- Add upper-bound validation: `x` and `y` must be < a `MAX_CANVAS` constant (e.g. 100 grid units). Reject elements that fall off the canvas.
+- Add grid-step validation: `x`, `y`, `width`, `height` must be multiples of 0.5 (i.e. `(value * 2) % 1 == 0`). Apply post-migration so existing data has already been normalised.
+- Add a test for each new validator.
 
 ---
 
 ## 2. Editor Core Refactor
 
-### Task 3: RoomCanvas Logic Overhaul
+### Task 3: RoomCanvas State & Behaviour
 **Files to Modify:**
 - `frontend/src/lib/RoomCanvas.svelte`
 
+**Current state (188 lines):**
+- Drag: `draggingId / startX / startY` only (lines 26–28). No resize state or handles exist.
+- Snap: lines 47–48 snap to 0.25 grid units (`Math.round(.../10)*10/40`). This is partially correct but the increment should be configurable (0.5 default).
+- Rendering: already multiplies by `GRID_SIZE = 40` (line 85). Unit separation is mostly correct.
+- Bug: `onmousemove` / `onmouseup` are bound on the SVG only (lines 69–71). Releasing the cursor outside the SVG strands the drag. Move these listeners to `window` for the duration of a drag.
+
 **Changes:**
-- **Grid Snap:** Implement mandatory snap-to-grid (0.5 or 1.0 unit increments) during dragging and resizing.
-- **State Management:** Refactor internal dragging state to be cleaner and more predictable.
-- **Selection:** Improve the selection highlight and event propagation.
-- **Unit Separation:** Ensure the component strictly thinks in grid units, with the rendering layer handling the pixel scaling.
+- **Build resize from scratch.** Add resize handles (e.g. bottom-right corner hit area) per element. Track `resizingId`, `resizeStartX`, `resizeStartY`, `resizeStartW`, `resizeStartH` as drag state. Snap resize delta to 0.5 increments.
+- **Fix drag escape.** Bind `mousemove`/`mouseup` to `window` when dragging begins; remove them on drop.
+- **Snap increment.** Change snap to 0.5 grid units (from 0.25). Accept an optional `snapStep` prop (default `0.5`) for the snap-toggle feature below.
 
 ### Task 4: Editor UI Improvements
 **Files to Modify:**
 - `frontend/src/routes/admin/rooms/[roomId]/+page.svelte`
 
-**Changes:**
-- Add a "Snap to Grid" toggle.
-- Add numeric inputs for precise coordinate editing (X, Y, W, H).
-- Implement "duplicate element" functionality.
-- Better error handling and visual feedback during saving.
+**What already exists (do not re-add):**
+- Width/height inputs with `step="0.5"` (lines 90–97)
+- Label input (line 87)
+- Add seat/table/door buttons (lines 64–66)
+- Delete button (line 101)
+
+**What to add:**
+- **X/Y numeric inputs** (with `step="0.5"`) for precise coordinate editing of the selected element, bound to its `x` and `y` fields.
+- **"+ Gap" button** alongside the existing add buttons. `gap` is accepted by `validate_layout` but is currently unreachable from the UI.
+- **"Snap to Grid" toggle.** Bind to a boolean state; pass as `snapStep={snapEnabled ? 0.5 : 0}` to `RoomCanvas`.
+- **"Duplicate element" button.** Copies the selected element with a new UUID and offsets it by 1 grid unit.
+- **Surface save errors.** `saveLayout` (lines 27–29) currently only `console.error`. Display an inline error message in the UI.
 
 ---
 
 ## 3. Verification
 
 ### Automated Tests:
-- `backend/src/routes/rooms.rs`: Add unit tests for layout validation.
-- `frontend/tests/rooms.spec.ts`: Create a new Playwright test for room editing (creating elements, dragging, snapping, and saving).
+- `backend/src/routes/rooms.rs`: Tests for the new upper-bound and grid-step validators.
+- `backend/migrations/`: Verify migration 003 runs cleanly on the test DB (use `sqlx migrate run`).
+- `frontend/tests/rooms.spec.ts` *(new)*: Playwright test — create a room, add table and two seats via the UI, drag a seat (verify snap), save and reload, assert coordinates are preserved.
 
 ### Manual Verification:
-1. Create a new room.
-2. Add a table and two seats.
-3. Verify that dragging snaps to the grid.
-4. Save and reload to ensure coordinates are preserved exactly.
-5. Inspect the SQLite database to confirm coordinates are stored as small grid units (e.g., `2.5`) instead of large pixel values.
+1. `make seed-demo` — reseed with the fixed `demo_seed.sql`.
+2. Open `Admin → Rooms → Room A` in the editor. All elements must appear at sensible grid positions (not far off-screen).
+3. Drag an element: verify it snaps to 0.5-unit increments.
+4. Resize an element: verify handles appear and snap correctly.
+5. Add a Gap element and verify it can be placed and saved.
+6. Inspect the SQLite DB directly: `SELECT layout_json FROM rooms LIMIT 1`. All element coordinates must be small numbers (≤ 30), not pixel values (≥ 80).
+7. Save and reload: verify coordinates are exactly preserved (no rounding drift).

 # Implementation Plan: Room Editor Refactor (Unified Visualization)
 
-**Objective:** Replace hardcoded seat maps with a unified, dynamic, and high-fidelity room visualization system that works across Admin and Student views.
-
-**Background:** 
-Currently, the application uses a hardcoded `SeatMap.svelte` for Live Views and Student Check-ins, while using a dynamic `RoomCanvas.svelte` for editing. This leads to data mismatches and prevents users from using custom room layouts. This plan unifies the visualization layer.
+**Objective:** Replace the broken hardcoded `SeatMap.svelte` with a unified, dynamic room renderer that works across Admin Live View and Student Check-in.
 
 ---
 
-## 1. Unified Visualization Component
+## Pre-flight: Existing Bugs This Work Fixes
 
-### Task 1: Create `DynamicRoomView.svelte`
-**Files to Create/Modify:**
-- `frontend/src/lib/components/DynamicRoomView.svelte`
-- (Optionally) Merge into `frontend/src/lib/RoomCanvas.svelte`
+Acknowledge these before starting — do not assume current behaviour is correct.
+
+1. **Student check-in seat selection is silently broken in production.** `frontend/src/lib/components/SeatMap.svelte:33–58` uses hardcoded seat IDs (`T1-1`…`T4-5`). These IDs do not exist in any room's `layout_json`, so `POST /api/checkin` is rejected by `backend/src/routes/checkin.rs:200–207` (`"invalid seat"`) for every seat click. Migrating to the dynamic renderer is the fix.
+2. **Admin live view shows no occupancy data.** `frontend/src/routes/admin/live/[slotId]/+page.svelte:161` calls `<SeatMap variant="tutor" scale={0.78} />` with no `assignments` / `students` props — so even though `attendances` is loaded, nothing renders in the seat map.
+3. **Check-in response is mistyped on the frontend.** `s/[code]/+page.svelte:82` treats the response of `POST /api/checkin` as an `Attendance` object, but the backend returns `{"ok": true}` (`checkin.rs:159–281`). Currently masked because `loadInfo()` is re-called immediately after. Fix this type error while migrating.
+
+**Note on other consumers of `SeatMap`:** A grep of `frontend/src/` found `SeatMap` is used only in the two routes described below. There are no dashboard, print-view, or mobile-only consumers.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Extend `RoomCanvas` (Decision: Don't Fork)
+
+### Task 1: Add Read-Only / Interactive Modes to `RoomCanvas.svelte`
+**Files to Modify:**
+- `frontend/src/lib/RoomCanvas.svelte`
+
+**Decision rationale:** `RoomCanvas.svelte:14–24` already accepts `occupiedSeatIds`, `mySeatId`, `studentNames`, `selectedId`, `onElementClick`, and `editable`. Creating a separate `DynamicRoomView.svelte` would duplicate the SVG/element rendering logic and risk divergence. **Extend `RoomCanvas` instead.**
 
 **Changes:**
-- Create a read-only/interactive component that renders SVG layouts based on the `LayoutElement[]` data.
-- **High Fidelity:** Implement the aesthetic details from the design handoff (rounded tables, specific seat styling, label positioning).
-- **Responsive Scaling:** Implement an `autoScale` or `viewBox` based system so the room fills the available width on mobile and desktop without breaking coordinates.
-- **Interaction Modes:**
-    - `mode="checkin"`: Seats are clickable for students.
-    - `mode="notes"`: Seats are clickable for tutors to open note editors.
-    - `mode="display"`: Read-only view for dashboard/monitoring.
+- Add a `clickable: boolean` prop (default `false`) — enables `onElementClick` in read-only mode without enabling edit handles. This maps to the `checkin` and `notes` use cases.
+- Remove the hardcoded `width="800" height="600"` (line 65). Replace with a `viewBox` computed from element extents (or a configured canvas size), `preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"`, and a CSS `width: 100%; height: auto` so the SVG scales responsively to its container. Verify this does not break the editor (pass a fixed `style="width:800px"` wrapper in the editor route).
+- Add high-fidelity styling per the design handoff: rounded tables (`rx`/`ry` on rect), specific seat styling (circle or rounded-rect), label positioning (centred on table, below seat icon), seat-state colours (vacant / occupied / mine).
+
+**Prop summary after changes:**
+
+| Prop | Type | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `elements` | `LayoutElement[]` | Layout data |
+| `editable` | `boolean` | Enables drag, resize, add, delete |
+| `clickable` | `boolean` | Enables `onElementClick` in read-only mode |
+| `occupiedSeatIds` | `string[]` | Seats to style as occupied |
+| `mySeatId` | `string \| null` | Seat to style as "mine" |
+| `studentNames` | `Record<string,string>` | Labels overlaid on occupied seats |
+| `selectedId` | `string \| null` | Currently selected element (editor) |
+| `onElementClick` | `(id: string) => void` | Click callback |

 ### Task 2: Replace `SeatMap` in Admin Live View
 **Files to Modify:**
 - `frontend/src/routes/admin/live/[slotId]/+page.svelte`
+- `backend/src/routes/attendance.rs` *(extend API response)*
 
-**Changes:**
-- Replace `SeatMap` with `DynamicRoomView`.
-- Connect the `onSeatClick` event to the note-taking and manual attendance logic.
-- Ensure attendance data (who sits where) is correctly overlaid on the dynamic layout.
+**Pre-step — extend the backend API response (required):**
+`attendance.rs:62–105` (`get_session_attendance`) returns `SessionAttendance` but does not include room layouts. The page has no way to know the layout. Options:
+- **(Recommended)** Extend `SessionAttendance` in `backend/src/models.rs` and `attendance.rs` to include each slot's `layout: Option<Vec<LayoutElement>>` keyed per slot. This avoids an N+1 fetch.
+- Alternative: have the page call `api.admin.rooms.get(slot.room_id)` after loading the slot. Simpler but adds a round-trip.
+
+**Frontend changes:**
+- Replace `<SeatMap variant="tutor" scale={0.78} />` at line 161 with `<RoomCanvas elements={slot.layout ?? []} clickable={true} occupiedSeatIds={...} studentNames={...} onElementClick={handleSeatClick} />`.
+- `occupiedSeatIds`: derive from `attendances.map(a => a.seat_id).filter(Boolean)`.
+- `studentNames`: derive from `attendances` as `{ [seat_id]: student.name }`.
+- **Seat → student mapping (new logic required):** The existing note-editor is driven by `selectedStudentId` and `toggleAttendance` takes `studentId`. The new `onElementClick(seatId)` must look up `attendances.find(a => a.seat_id === seatId)?.student_id` to populate `selectedStudentId`. Add this mapping in `handleSeatClick`.
 
 ### Task 3: Replace `SeatMap` in Student Check-in
 **Files to Modify:**
 - `frontend/src/routes/s/[code]/+page.svelte`
 
-**Changes:**
-- Replace `SeatMap` with `DynamicRoomView`.
-- Connect seat selection to the `POST /api/checkin` API.
-- Ensure the "current seat" (mySeatId) is visually highlighted in the dynamic view.
+**There are 4 call sites, not 1.** `SeatMap` is called at lines 210, 248, 316, and 368 (phone + desktop × seat-pick step + confirmed step). All four need to be replaced.
+
+**Layout data is already on the wire.** `GET /api/checkin/:code` returns `CheckinInfo.layout: LayoutElement[] | null` (populated by `checkin.rs:53–68` and typed in `types.ts:84–88`), but `s/[code]/+page.svelte:43–58` discards `res.layout`. Read and store it: `let layout = $state<LayoutElement[]>([])` and assign `layout = res.layout ?? []`.
+
+**Per call site:**
+- Lines 210, 316 (seat-pick step, phone and desktop): Replace with `<RoomCanvas elements={layout} clickable={true} occupiedSeatIds={occupiedSeatIds} mySeatId={null} onElementClick={selectSeat} />`.
+- Lines 248, 368 (confirmed step, phone and desktop): Replace with `<RoomCanvas elements={layout} clickable={false} occupiedSeatIds={occupiedSeatIds} mySeatId={myAttendance?.seat_id ?? null} />`.
+
+**Derived state to add:**
+```ts
+const occupiedSeatIds = $derived(attendances.map(a => a.seat_id).filter(Boolean) as string[]);
+```
+
+**Fix the response-typing bug** (Pre-flight item 3): `api.ts` types `checkin.post` as `Promise<Attendance>` but the backend returns `{ok: true}`. Change the return type to `Promise<{ok: boolean}>` and update `s/[code]/+page.svelte:82` accordingly.
 
 ### Task 4: Deprecate `SeatMap.svelte`
-**Files to Modify:**
-- Delete `frontend/src/lib/components/SeatMap.svelte` once integration is verified.
+**Files to Delete:**
+- `frontend/src/lib/components/SeatMap.svelte`
+
+**Hard ordering — do not delete until all of the following are true:**
+1. All 6 call sites are migrated (1 in admin live view + 4 in `s/[code]`).
+2. `grep -rn "SeatMap" frontend/src/` returns zero results.
+3. All Playwright tests pass (see Task 5).
 
 ---
 
 ## 3. Verification
 
-### Automated Tests:
-- `frontend/tests/checkin-dynamic.spec.ts`: E2E test to verify student check-in on a **custom-created** room layout.
-- `frontend/tests/admin-live-dynamic.spec.ts`: E2E test to verify that tutors can see students on a **custom-created** room layout and click them to leave notes.
+### Recommended Ordering
+1. Extend the backend API (Task 2 pre-step) — unblocks frontend.
+2. Extend `RoomCanvas` with `clickable`, responsive `viewBox`, and high-fidelity styling (Task 1).
+3. Migrate `s/[code]` (Task 3) — backend already returns layout; this is the quickest win and immediately unblocks the broken check-in.
+4. Migrate admin live view (Task 2) — needs new backend data and the seat→student mapping.
+5. Run Playwright tests.
+6. Delete `SeatMap.svelte` (Task 4).
 
-### Manual Verification:
-1. Create a non-standard room layout in the Admin Editor (e.g., a "U" shape).
+### Automated Tests
+- `frontend/tests/checkin-dynamic.spec.ts` *(new)*: E2E test — create a custom (non-square) room layout via the API, create a session + slot using it, open the student check-in link, verify the layout renders (not a blank grid), click a seat, verify `POST /api/checkin` succeeds and the seat turns green. Mirror the seat IDs already used in `backend/src/routes/checkin.rs:290–653` (`s1`, `s2`).
+- `frontend/tests/admin-live-dynamic.spec.ts` *(new)*: E2E test — using the same custom room, manually add attendance for a student on seat `s1`, open the tutor live view, verify the student's name appears on the correct seat.
+
+### Manual Verification
+1. Create a U-shaped room layout in `Admin → Rooms`.
 2. Create a session and slot using this room.
-3. Open the Student Check-in link on a mobile device (browser simulation).
-4. Verify the "U" shape is rendered correctly and scaled to fit the screen.
-5. Check in as a student and verify the seat turns green.
-6. Open the Tutor Live View on a desktop and verify the same student is visible on the same seat in the "U" shape.
+3. Open the student check-in link on a mobile viewport. Verify the U-shape is rendered and scaled to fit.
+4. Check in as a student by clicking a seat. Verify the seat turns green.
+5. Open the tutor Live View on desktop. Verify the same student appears on the correct seat in the U-shape.
+6. Click the occupied seat. Verify the note-editor opens for that student.

 - For layout-bearing slots (`room_id IS NOT NULL`), the backend rejects `seat_id = NULL` submissions at the application layer — the DB NULL-deduplication behaviour cannot enforce this.
 - **Seat change:** A student may change their seat while the slot is `open`. The backend deletes the existing attendance row for `(slot_id, student_id)` then inserts the new one atomically in a transaction. The previously held seat becomes free immediately. Once the slot is `locked`, no changes are possible.
-- **Cookie trust:** Cookies are unsigned in the initial implementation — accepted risk for a small in-person group where the tutor physically observes the room. Tutor must cross-check the seat map against visible students before locking. The `checkin.rs` auth layer is designed for a drop-in HMAC replacement without further changes.
+- **Auth Security:** The authentication layer is hardened using `httpOnly`, `SameSite=Strict` cookies for both tutor and student sessions. This prevents client-side token access (XSS mitigation) and ensures session integrity. The `checkin.rs` layer manages student identities via a secure `attendance_identity` cookie.
 
 Rooms are created independently of sessions and can be reused across semesters. The student dropdown on the check-in page is filtered by the slot's course, preventing cross-course name leakage.

+# Security & Best-Practices Audit for `tutortool`
+
+## Overview
+
+- Full-stack app: Rust 1.95 backend with Axum 0.8, SQLx 0.8 (SQLite), JWT auth; SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 + TypeScript 5 + Vite 8 + pnpm 9 frontend.
+- CI/CD: Gitea Actions-style workflows for CI (PRs/branches) and Release (tag push), including Rust checks, frontend checks, Playwright E2E, cargo-audit, Docker build, Helm deploy to Kubernetes.
+- Overall: architecture is solid and modern; most obvious footguns are avoided, but there are some security and hardening issues plus a few best-practice gaps in both backend and frontend.
+
+## Toolchain & Dependencies
+
+### Backend (Rust)
+
+- Toolchain:
+  - `edition = "2024"`, `rust-version = "1.95.0"` pinned in `backend/Cargo.toml` and CI (`dtolnay/rust-toolchain@master toolchain: '1.95.0'`).
+- Core crates:
+  - `axum 0.8` (web framework, with `macros`, `multipart`).
+  - `axum-extra 0.10` (cookies, etc.).
+  - `tokio 1` with `full` feature.
+  - `sqlx 0.8` with `sqlite`, `runtime-tokio`, `macros`, `migrate`.
+  - `serde`/`serde_json`.
+  - `jsonwebtoken 10` (JWT handling, `rust_crypto` backend).
+  - `bcrypt 0.19` (password hashing).
+  - `tower-http 0.6` with `fs`, `cors`, `trace`.
+  - `tower_governor 0.6` (rate limiting).
+  - `chrono 0.4` with `serde`, `rand 0.9`, `thiserror 2`, `tracing 0.1`, `tracing-subscriber 0.3`.
+- Dev-deps:
+  - `tower 0.5` (util), `http-body-util 0.1`, `bytes 1`, `temp-env 0.3`, `serial_test 3.1`.
+- The combination (Axum + SQLx + jsonwebtoken) is a common pattern; community examples like Axium and blog posts promote similar stacks for high-performance, security-focused APIs.[^1][^2][^3]
+
+### Frontend (SvelteKit + TS)
+
+- Toolchain:
+  - SvelteKit 2 (`@sveltejs/kit ^2.59.0`), Svelte `^5.55.5`, Vite `^8.0.10`, TypeScript `^5`, `@typescript/native-preview ^7.0.0-dev`, pnpm 9.
+  - Playwright `@playwright/test ^1.59.1` for E2E; `svelte-check` for type+template checking.
+- This matches current Svelte best-practices: Vite-based tooling, svelte-check, Playwright, TS everywhere.[^4][^5]
+
+### CI/CD
+
+- CI workflow (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`):
+  - Runs on push (non-main), and PRs.
+  - Steps:
+    - Node 22 + pnpm 9.
+    - Rust 1.95 + clippy + rustfmt.
+    - Cache Cargo and pnpm store.
+    - `pnpm --dir frontend install --frozen-lockfile`.
+    - `svelte-kit sync`, Playwright browser install.
+    - Backend: `cargo check`, `cargo clippy -D warnings`, `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo test`.
+    - Frontend: `tsgo --version` (from `@typescript/native-preview`) and `pnpm check`.
+    - `cargo audit` with ignore `RUSTSEC-2023-0071`.
+    - Frontend build.
+    - E2E tests via `make test-up` + `pnpm test:e2e`, then teardown with `make test-down`.
+    - Docker build (no push).
+- Release workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`):
+  - Triggered on tag `v*.*.*`.
+  - Re-runs checks, tests, cargo-audit, build.
+  - Docker build+push to `registry.itsh.dev/s0wlz/tutortool` with `latest` and tag, login via secrets.
+  - Installs kubectl config from base64-encoded secret, sets up Helm 3.16, and runs `helm upgrade --install` into namespace `tenant-5` with `values_override.yaml` and `image.tag` from tag.
+- This aligns with modern GitHub/Gitea workflows: pinned major versions for actions, caching, separate CI and release pipelines, and Helm-based K8s deployment.[^6]
+
+## Backend Best-Practices Review
+
+### Axum / App Setup
+
+- `AppState` holds `SqlitePool`, `jwt_secret`, and `test_mode`, and implements `FromRef` for the pool, matching ergonomic Axum+SQLx patterns.[^2]
+- Middleware:
+  - `TraceLayer::new_for_http()` is enabled to log requests; static assets served via `ServeDir` with SPA-style fallback to `index.html`.
+  - Rate limiting (tower_governor) appears configured in `routes::build` (not shown in excerpt but implied by dependency choice).
+- Ports and bindings:
+  - Binds to `0.0.0.0:PORT` (default 3000) and serves over plain HTTP; this is expected behind a reverse proxy/ingress, but in prod TLS termination should happen at the edge.
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Add graceful shutdown: hook into `axum::serve` with a shutdown signal to support rolling updates and avoid dropping in-flight requests.[^7]
+- Ensure `tower_governor` is applied to all state-changing routes (auth, check-in, etc.) to mitigate brute force; current routes module likely does this, but it is worth verifying per-route.[^1]
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- There is a dedicated `error.rs` and `AppError` type (pattern recommended by Axum guides): single error type, `?` operator, mapping to HTTP responses.[^7]
+- This is aligned with modern Rust error-handling best practices: central error enum plus `thiserror` for derive and automatic conversions.[^7]
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Confirm that `AppError::Unauthorized` and other variants do not leak internals (e.g., raw SQLx errors) in HTTP responses, and that detailed error messages go only to logs (`tracing`). This is in line with OWASP guidance on not exposing sensitive error details.[^8]
+
+### SQLx / Database Access
+
+- `AppState` owns the `SqlitePool`, consistent with SQLx ergonomics for Axum.[^2]
+- SQLx with `sqlite` feature uses libsqlite3 under the hood and introduces some unsafe, but SQLx forbids unsafe by default for other backends; that trade-off is known and accepted for SQLite.[^3]
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Use fully parameterized queries everywhere, avoiding dynamic string concatenation; this matches SQLx and OWASP recommendations to prevent injection.[^9][^2]
+- Use migrations consistently (`sqlx::migrate!()`) in `db::init()` and ensure the CI includes a `sqlx migrate run --check` equivalent (offline) to prevent drift between schema and code.[^3]
+
+### JWT Handling (Authentication)
+
+- Claims structure:
+  - `TutorClaims { sub: i64, email: String, is_superadmin: bool, exp: u64 }`.
+- Encoding:
+  - `encode_jwt` sets `exp` to now + 7 days, uses `Header::default()` (HS256) and `EncodingKey::from_secret(secret.as_bytes())`.
+- Decoding:
+  - `decode_jwt` uses `DecodingKey::from_secret(secret.as_bytes())` and `Validation::default()`; errors map to `AppError::Unauthorized` and are traced at debug level.
+- Extraction:
+  - Custom Axum extractor `FromRequestParts` for `TutorClaims`:
+    - Tries `CookieJar` for `"token"` first (HttpOnly cookie expected from server) and falls back to `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
+    - Uses `AppState::from_ref` to access `jwt_secret` and calls `decode_jwt`.
+- This pattern (HttpOnly cookie + optional Bearer header) is consistent with modern JWT auth designs, where cookies mitigate XSS theft of tokens and headers support scripting and tools.[^10][^8]
+
+**Findings (JWT)**
+
+- `Validation::default()` only enforces expiration but uses default algorithm and leeway settings; explicitly setting `algorithms` and `validate_exp` is recommended to avoid alg downgrade issues and to be resilient to changes in defaults.[^11][^12]
+- `exp` is 7 days; OWASP and many JWT security guides recommend short-lived access tokens (15–60 minutes) with refresh tokens if you need long-lived sessions.[^8][^10]
+- No audience (`aud`), issuer (`iss`), or other context claims are validated; for multi-tenant or multi-client deployments, those should be set and verified.[^8]
+
+**Suggestions (JWT)**
+
+- Configure `Validation` explicitly:
+  - Restrict algorithms (e.g., HS256 only) and disable `validate_nbf` if not used, but keep `validate_exp` on.[^12][^11]
+  - Optionally validate `iss` and `aud`.
+- Consider split token model:
+  - Short-lived access token in memory; long-lived refresh token in HttpOnly cookie as recommended by modern JWT best-practice guides.[^10]
+- Consider moving `email` out of the token or keeping only user id + roles; JWT best-practice docs recommend storing only non-sensitive, strictly necessary data.[^13]
+
+### Password Hashing
+
+- Uses `bcrypt` crate (0.19). Bcrypt is widely used and still acceptable, but many modern Rust security boilerplates (e.g. Axium) prefer Argon2id (memory-hard, OWASP recommended).[^1][^10]
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- If passwords are currently hashed with bcrypt, consider migrating to Argon2id for new deployments and implementing lazy rehash on login to avoid immediate full migration.[^1]
+- Ensure appropriate work factor/cost is configured (bcrypt default cost may be low for 2026 hardware; OWASP recommends tuning to ~250 ms per hash on your hardware).[^10]
+
+### Token & Secrets Management
+
+- `jwt_secret` is loaded from `JWT_SECRET` env var; app panics if missing (`expect("JWT_SECRET must be set")`).
+- CI and Release use `cargo audit` and Docker with registry login; K8s kubeconfig is passed via base64 secret into `~/.kube/config`, and image registry credentials are from `REGISTRY_USER` and `REGISTRY_TOKEN` secrets.
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Ensure `JWT_SECRET` is strong (at least 256 bits of randomness) and rotated periodically, as recommended in JWT and OWASP guidelines.[^8][^10]
+- Use kube secret and Helm values files for database credentials, SMTP, etc.; avoid ever committing real secrets (current repo appears clean of obvious `.env`/secrets, matching typical TS/Rust security guidance).[^9]
+
+### Test Mode & Test Reset Endpoint
+
+- In debug builds, `TT_TEST_MODE=1` enables test-only behavior:
+  - Loads `demo/demo_seed.sql` into `routes::test_reset::SEED_SQL`.
+  - Logs warning `TT_TEST_MODE active — /__test__/reset is enabled`.
+  - `routes::build` likely wires `/__test__/reset` route guarded by `test_mode`.
+- CI E2E flow sets `TT_TEST_PORT_RANDOM=1` and uses `make test-up` to start backend; expected pattern is that test mode is enabled only in CI/dev.
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Confirm that `TT_TEST_MODE` is never set in production environments; the log warning is helpful, but run-time checks or fail-fast on `TT_TEST_MODE=1` in release builds would add extra safety.[^8]
+- The test reset endpoint should be fully disabled or return 404 in production; given architecture, this is likely already the case but should be validated in routing code.[^7]
+
+## Frontend Best-Practices Review
+
+### SvelteKit / Vite / TS Tooling
+
+- Scripts:
+  - `dev`, `build`, `preview` for Vite.
+  - `check` and `check:watch` using `svelte-check` with `tsconfig.json`.
+  - `test:e2e` and `test:e2e:ui` using Playwright.
+- Config:
+  - `svelte.config.js` and `vite.config.ts` present; `playwright.config.ts` configured for tests.
+- This aligns with Svelte docs: use svelte-check, Vite, and a linter for robustness.[^5][^4]
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Consider adding ESLint with TypeScript+Svelte plugin to catch additional issues that TypeScript itself cannot (e.g., potential XSS sinks, unused variables).[^4][^9]
+- Ensure CSP and other security headers are set at the backend/Ingress level, especially for inline script blocking and stronger XSS mitigation, matching Svelte and TS security recommendations.[^5][^9]
+
+### TypeScript Practices
+
+- Uses `typescript ^5` and `@typescript/native-preview ^7.0.0-dev`, with CI step `tsgo --version && pnpm check`, indicating use of the new TS native compiler experiment.
+- Modern TS security guidance emphasizes strict typing, avoiding `any`/unchecked casts, and runtime validation of external data.[^9]
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Ensure `tsconfig.json` has strict flags (`strict`, `noImplicitAny`, `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` where feasible) to align with TS security best practices.[^9]
+- For input forms and API responses, combine TypeScript types with runtime validation (e.g. Zod) where user or external data is processed, as recommended in recent TS security articles.[^9]
+
+### Frontend Auth & Token Storage
+
+- The backend issues JWTs intended to be stored primarily in HttpOnly `token` cookie and optionally in `Authorization` header.
+- Modern JWT security guidance suggests storing access tokens in memory with refresh tokens in HttpOnly cookies to balance CSRF and XSS risks.[^10]
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Ensure frontend never writes the JWT token to `localStorage` or `sessionStorage`; prefer HttpOnly cookies and/or in-memory access tokens per JWT security checklists.[^10]
+- Use `SameSite=Lax` or `Strict` plus `Secure` flag on cookies; backend should set these flags to mitigate CSRF and cookie theft, as recommended in TS+web security guides.[^9][^10]
+
+## CI/CD & Testing Review
+
+### CI Pipeline
+
+- Test job (CI):
+  - Backend coverage: type check, Clippy with `-D warnings`, fmt check, unit tests, `cargo audit` with one specific advisory ignored (RUSTSEC-2023-0071), and Docker build.
+  - Frontend coverage: pnpm install, svelte-kit sync, Playwright browser install, TypeScript check via `tsgo` and `svelte-check`, build, Playwright E2E tests against backend brought up via `make test-up`.
+  - Failure path uploads Playwright artifacts for debugging.
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Ignoring `RUSTSEC-2023-0071` should be justified in the repo (e.g., README/SECURITY.md note) to document risk acceptance; OWASP and RustSec guidelines recommend handling advisories explicitly rather than silently ignoring them.[^3]
+- Consider adding `cargo audit --deny-warnings` in CI once all advisories are resolved to prevent new vulnerabilities from creeping in.[^3]
+- Add `pnpm audit` or `npm audit` equivalent carefully (with allowlist where necessary) to monitor JS dependency CVEs, aligning with TS and frontend security best practices.[^9]
+
+### Release Pipeline
+
+- Re-runs critical checks before building and pushing image and deploying via Helm; uses tag name as image tag and also pushes `latest`.
+
+**Findings & Suggestions**
+
+- Using `latest` tag is convenient but can obscure which version is actually running; many release engineering guides recommend avoiding `latest` in production and relying on immutable tags only.[^6]
+- Helm upgrade uses `--wait --timeout 5m`, which is good; consider adding health/liveness/readiness probes in the Helm chart (if not already defined) to allow Kubernetes to verify app health before rollout completes.[^6]
+
+## Security Audit Summary
+
+### Strengths
+
+- Modern Rust backend stack (Axum, SQLx, jsonwebtoken, bcrypt) with clear error handling and tracing.[^3]
+- JWT usage is structured; tokens carry minimal data (id, email, role, exp) and are injected into handlers via typed Axum extractor.
+- CI pipeline is extensive: type checks, linting, formatting, unit tests, E2E tests, cargo-audit, Docker build.
+- Release pipeline uses Helm and secrets for registry and kubeconfig, with environment variables for image/namespace configuration.
+
+### Issues & Risks
+
+- JWT validation uses default `Validation`, not explicitly restricting algorithms or confirming `iss`/`aud`, which is discouraged by JWT crate best-practice discussions.[^11][^12]
+- Token lifetime is 7 days; guidance from JWT and OAuth security resources recommends much shorter access tokens with refresh token rotation.[^8][^10]
+- bcrypt is acceptable but no longer state-of-the-art; Argon2id is generally recommended for new password hashing deployments.[^1][^10]
+- CI ignores `RUSTSEC-2023-0071` without a documented rationale in code; ignoring advisories without documentation is flagged as bad practice in security tooling docs.[^3]
+- No visible JS dependency audit step; frontend best-practice checklists call for regular dependency scanning.[^9]
+- Cookie flags (HttpOnly, SameSite, Secure) and CSRF protection are not visible from backend code snippet; recommended by TS/web security checklists.[^10][^9]
+- `latest` Docker tag usage in release; release engineering guides generally recommend immutable tags only.[^6]
+
+### Recommended Actions (Prioritized)
+
+1. **Harden JWT validation**
+   - Explicitly set allowed algorithms, enable `validate_exp`, and consider adding `aud`/`iss` checks.[^12][^11]
+   - Consider reducing access token lifetime and introducing refresh tokens.
+2. **Improve password hashing posture**
+   - Plan migration path to Argon2id for new passwords and rehash on login; keep bcrypt verification for legacy hashes.[^1][^10]
+3. **Document and re-evaluate `cargo audit` ignore**
+   - Add a comment or SECURITY.md entry explaining the risk of `RUSTSEC-2023-0071` and why it is acceptable, and track upstream fix to eventually drop the ignore.[^3]
+4. **Add JS dependency scanning in CI**
+   - Use `pnpm audit` or an external scanner (e.g., snyk) with a curated allowlist.[^9]
+5. **Cookie & CSRF Hardening**
+   - Ensure JWT cookies use `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, and `SameSite=Lax/Strict` flags and that state-changing endpoints enforce CSRF protections where relevant.[^10][^9]
+6. **Release Tagging Improvements**
+   - Consider dropping `latest` tag in production and relying solely on versioned tags; ensure Helm values/overrides always reference immutable tags.[^6]
+7. **Operational Safeguards for Test Mode**
+   - Enforce that `TT_TEST_MODE` cannot be set in production (e.g., check an env like `ENV=prod` and panic if both are set) to guarantee that `/__test__/reset` never exists in prod.[^7][^8]
+
+These changes would bring the project in line with current Rust 1.95, SvelteKit, TypeScript, and JWT security best practices, while preserving its already solid architecture and testing setup.[^5][^8]
