    Walkthrough

    Adds a full-stack scaffold: backend (Express server, DB config/schema, auth with JWT/refresh/blacklist, encryption, logging, validation, routes), frontend (React/Vite app with routing, stores, crypto manager, API client, styling, NGINX deploy), Dockerfiles for both, env templates, and a data file defining onboarding companion archetypes. Also adds a static “Turning Wheel” site (index.html, script.js, styles.css).

    Poem

    I thump my paws on Docker’s drum,
    Keys and tokens softly hum.
    Wheels now turn, both front and back,
    Stars in logs trace every track.
    With ciphered whispers, routes align—
    Ship it swift on NGINX time.
    Hop, hop—release: divine. 🐇✨

    PR Review 🔍

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]

    5, because the PR introduces a significant amount of new code across multiple files, including complex database configurations, user authentication routes, and frontend styles. The changes involve intricate logic for encryption, user management, and UI interactions, which require thorough testing and understanding of the overall architecture.

    🧪 Relevant tests

    No

    ⚡ Possible issues

    Possible Bug: The database initialization and table creation logic may lead to issues if the database schema changes in the future without proper migrations.

    Micro-Learning Topic: Information disclosure (Detected by phrase)

    Matched on "information exposure"

    Many web applications and APIs do not properly protect sensitive data, such as financial, healthcare, and PII. Attackers may steal or modify such weakly protected data to conduct credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes. Sensitive data may be compromised without extra protection, such as encryption at rest or in transit, and requires special precautions when exchanged with the browser.
