feat: implement dual-token JWT auth, Argon2id migration, and zero-warnings quality mandate

- Security: Add Secure flag to checkin identity cookie, implement rate limiting on login, and harden Helm security context.
- Security: Add cargo-audit to CI and Release pipelines for dependency vulnerability scanning.
- Backend: Enable SQLite WAL mode and fix AppState initialization in tests.
- Frontend: Fully type the API client, fix importStudents FormData handling, and pin dependency versions.
- Frontend: Add auto-logout on 401 and resolve authentication initialization race conditions.
- CI/CD: Pin pnpm version in release workflow and include lint/audit quality gates.

+
+## 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.

 - 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]
