Changes
README: Lock Ordering Correction
The documented lock ordering in the README was wrong. The previous version listed voters before vote_auth, but start-vote — the only endpoint that holds both locks simultaneously — always acquires vote_auth first. Documenting the wrong order could mislead future contributors into introducing a deadlock.
| Lock | Correct position in ordering |
|---|---|
vote_auth |
Before voters |
voters |
After vote_auth |
invite_auth |
Last (no simultaneous-hold relationships) |
Two additional clarifications were made: login holds its locks sequentially rather than simultaneously, and invite_auth has been moved to the end of the ordering table to reflect that it is never held at the same time as any other lock.
Global Footer
A persistent footer is now rendered at the bottom of every page via the root layout. Previously the landing page had its own local footer that was not visible elsewhere in the application.
The footer contains:
- Navigation links to the Guide and Cryptography pages.
- An attribution line for F-sektionen · Lund University.
- The current release tag, injected at build time using
git describe --tags --abbrev=0and displayed as the version string.
