Hourly reset now restores entire DB from baseline snapshot instead of
just deleting demo trips. This reverts ALL demo user changes including
modifications to shared admin trips. Admin credentials (password, API
keys) are preserved across resets. Admin can save new baseline via
Admin Panel button. Removed demoWriteBlock middleware.
DEMO_MODE=true enables: auto-seeded admin + demo user, 3 example trips
(Tokyo, Barcelona, Wien), hourly reset of demo user data, one-click
demo login, visible banner with feature info. Zero behavior change
when DEMO_MODE is not set.
Real-Time Collaboration (WebSocket):
- WebSocket server with JWT auth and trip-based rooms
- Live sync for all CRUD operations (places, assignments, days, notes, budget, packing, reservations, files)
- Socket-based exclusion to prevent duplicate updates
- Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
- Assignment move sync between days
Performance:
- 16 database indexes on all foreign key columns
- N+1 query fix in places, assignments and days endpoints
- Marker clustering (react-leaflet-cluster) with configurable radius
- List virtualization (react-window) for places sidebar
- useMemo for filtered places
- SQLite WAL mode + busy_timeout for concurrent writes
- Weather API: server-side cache (1h forecast, 15min current) + client sessionStorage
- Google Places photos: persisted to DB after first fetch
- Google Details: 3-tier cache (memory → sessionStorage → API)
Security:
- CORS auto-configuration (production: same-origin, dev: open)
- API keys removed from /auth/me response
- Admin-only endpoint for reading API keys
- Path traversal prevention in cover image deletion
- JWT secret persisted to file (survives restarts)
- Avatar upload file extension whitelist
- API key fallback: normal users use admin's key without exposure
- Case-insensitive email login
Dark Mode:
- Fixed hardcoded colors across PackingList, Budget, ReservationModal, ReservationsPanel
- Mobile map buttons and sidebar sheets respect dark mode
- Cluster markers always dark
UI/UX:
- Redesigned login page with animated planes, stars and feature cards
- Admin: create user functionality with CustomSelect
- Mobile: day-picker popup for assigning places to days
- Mobile: touch-friendly reorder buttons (32px targets)
- Mobile: responsive text (shorter labels on small screens)
- Packing list: index-based category colors
- i18n: translated date picker placeholder, fixed German labels
- Default map tile: CartoDB Light
