- 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)
