Timezone is now sent from the client on each request that needs it,
instead of storing it in the database. This simplifies the model and
allows timezone to be dynamic (useful for traveling users).
Changes:
- Remove timezone field from User entity
- Remove timezone from user registration
- GET /habits/today now requires ?timezone= query param
- Add migration to drop timezone column from database
- Update related tests
- Send verification email before creating user to prevent orphaned accounts
- Detect SMTP authentication errors and fail fast without retries
- Add field-level validation errors for better frontend UX
- Configure docker-compose with explicit environment variables
- Document dollar sign escaping in .env.example (use $$)
- Implement welcome email on successful verification
- Clean up unnecessary comments
Implemented email service infrastructure with SMTP support and optional email verification for self-hosted deployments. Registration flow now supports open/closed modes and hardcoded Apocapoc branding.
Key features:
- Email service with SMTP and template rendering
- Optional email verification (auto-verified without SMTP config)
- Registration modes: open/closed for access control
- Hardcoded Apocapoc branding (AppName, AppURL, DefaultFrom)
- Separate registration and login flows (registration no longer returns tokens)
Add user-based rate limiting middleware (100 req/min) for authenticated endpoints using httprate library. Implement common password validation blocking 50+ weak passwords. Improve test coverage from 38.3% to 44.6% with comprehensive refresh token tests.
Security improvements:
- Rate limiting by user ID for /habits and /stats endpoints
- X-RateLimit-Limit header in responses
- Common password blacklist in password validation
- Refresh token test suite with 5 scenarios (valid, invalid, expired, revoked, empty)
