v.0.16.0 Alpha - MVP version!

Highlights

Features

• Premium subscriptions and checkout: added Stripe-backed subscriptions, checkout and post-checkout pages, sandbox/test-mode messaging, and admin tooling for subscription management.
• Support mode and task help: introduced modal-driven support flows, task-support guidance, improved activity input flows, and timer support for guided task starts.
• Account and player improvements: added inline player-name editing with safer validation, account data download, account deletion, login streak tracking, timezone support, and richer account UI.
• Activity updates: improved current-activity displays and timelines, and added more gameplay/state data to the app UI.

Fixes and UX improvements

• More resilient player handling: decoupled players from characters so the app works cleanly even when a player has no active linked character.
• Modal and navigation polish: fixed support modal interactions, improved button and infobar presentation, and cleaned up several navigation/account UI flows.
• Security and validation hardening: integrated Cloudflare Turnstile for registration, tightened error-handling in sensitive paths, and improved websocket authentication/connection behavior.
• Payments and production fixes: corrected annual/monthly plan handling, upgraded payment views, and applied several deployment/runtime fixes for Render and production configuration.

Developer experience and quality

• Testing and quality tooling: added React unit tests with Vitest, accessibility test coverage, mypy type-checking, improved logging/metrics, and Docker/Copilot setup guidance.
• Deployment and environment updates: refreshed Docker/devcontainer setup, environment handling, workflow configuration, and branch CI/CD support.
• Dependency refresh: updated Django and a broad set of frontend/backend dependencies and security-related packages.
