ElectionDeflection v2.1

What's New in v2.1

Community Data Contribution (Epic 8)

• Crowdsourced text submission — users can submit political texts to help improve filtering
• Screenshot OCR Share Extension — share screenshots of political texts directly from Photos/Messages, with on-device OCR extraction
• Rate limiting — 5 submissions/hour to prevent abuse
• Admin dashboard & retraining pipeline — review submissions and retrain the ML model with new data

Security

• API key removed from source code — now loaded from Secrets.plist (gitignored) at runtime
• Cloudflare Worker API key moved to environment secret (SUBMIT_API_KEY)

Privacy

• Updated PRIVACY.md to clearly separate on-device filtering (zero network) from voluntary opt-in text submission
• Broadened phone number regex for better PII sanitization (international formats)

Bug Fixes

• Phone number sanitization now covers international formats (UK, Germany, Australia, etc.)
