The primary administrator was the earliest Admin by created_at with no further
condition, so a soft-deleted or deactivated account could hold the role and then
be refused by the api-key path, leaving nobody able to use the database API, the
backup download or cross-owner container management. Rows with no recorded signup
time also sorted ahead of every real account. Scan the earliest admins instead and
take the first that is neither deleted nor deactivated, with missing timestamps
sorted last.
Also stop the projects listing returning 500 when project_type or description is
NULL (the dict default never applies to an existing NULL column), align the issue
test fixture with its unit twin so a combined run cannot collide on a fixed uid,
read the settings value from the database rather than a stale per-process cache,
and give the seeded and fixture admins the is_active and created_at fields that
every real signup writes.
- Policy: every change ends with make test (all tiers, all tests) green; docs and agent guardrails updated accordingly
- schema.py: ensure the full filtered/indexed column set of instances via get_table (ingress_slug, ports_json, container_gateway, slug, status, ...) so a partial first insert can never break the ingress proxy
- docs_api: award body param location body -> json; gateway endpoints documented public -> user to match enforced auth
- tests: missing get_table import (trash restore), audit read as admin (award), deterministic online-roster and leaderboard-cache handling, container visibility updated to the primary-admin-only rule, scoped AI usage heading selector past the hidden Tools nav links
Consolidate scattered `X-Real-IP` / `request.client.host` fallback logic into the single `client_ip()` helper from `utils`, reducing duplication in the rate limiter middleware, project file zip routes, tools shared module, and audit record builder. Also refactor three admin endpoints (`/ai-usage/data`, `/analytics`, `/users/{uid}/ai-usage`) to use the existing `require_admin()` guard instead of repeating manual auth checks, and remove now-unused `get_current_user`/`is_admin` imports from those modules.
Add comprehensive test coverage for seven new API areas:
- Backup schedules CRUD operations in admin panel
- Service configuration saving and retrieval for news AI model
- Token authentication with email/username and JSON body support
- Bookmarking for project and news targets with invalid type validation
- Content permissions testing with member and admin session fixtures
- Devii adopt endpoint redirect behavior and session cookie handling
- Devrant authentication flow with user registration and token retrieval
Implement a new `SeoMetaService` subservice that generates clean SEO title/description/keywords for published content items, distinct from the existing SEO diagnostics auditor. Add `seo_metadata` polymorphic table with soft-delete support, batch query methods, and usage tracking. Extend the CLI with `seo-meta prune` and `seo-meta clear` commands for job row lifecycle management. Wire `schedule_seo_meta_for_table` into content creation and editing flows in `content.py`. Document the new service in `AGENTS.md` and `README.md`, including the `extra_head` site setting for custom `<head>` injection.
- Add `/block`, `/mute` endpoints with block/unblock and mute/unmute functionality in `routers/relations.py`, hiding blocked users' content everywhere except their own profile while muting only suppresses notifications
- Introduce `devplace emoji-sync` CLI command to regenerate `static/js/emoji-shortcodes.js` from the emoji library, documented in `CLAUDE.md` and wired in `cli.py`
- Create `get_blocked_uids()` database helper and apply it in `content.py` `load_detail()` to filter blocked users' posts from detail views
- Implement `_uid_index()` and `_drop_index()` helpers in `database.py` for unique uid indexes across tables, with `user_relations` added to `SOFT_DELETE_TABLES`
- Document new routes in `AGENTS.md` and `README.md`, including emoji shortcodes rendering behavior distinct from the emoji picker
- Add `ai_grade`, `featured`, `featured_locked`, `landing_locked`, `author`, `article_published`, `image_url`, `has_unique_image` columns to news table
- Extend `news_images` schema with `alt_text`, `phash`, `width`, `height`, `is_placeholder` columns
- Create `idx_news_featured` index for efficient featured queries
- Update admin toggle endpoints to set `featured_locked`/`landing_locked` when manually toggling
- Propagate `featured` and `image_url` fields through landing page, news list, and detail page rendering
- Update `get_featured_news` to return `featured` and `image_url` fields
- Document in AGENTS.md the full zero-maintenance pipeline: image perceptual hashing, placeholder detection, AI grading on cleaned text, reliability gate, effective score computation, and post-loop landing rotation
- Update README.md service description to reflect automatic image comparison and landing rotation capabilities
- Clarify docs_api.py summaries that toggling featured/landing now locks articles from auto-rotation
- Add `get_admin_uids()` and `get_primary_admin_uid()` to database.py for resolving the earliest-created admin
- Modify `can_view_project()` in content.py so a project hidden by an admin is invisible to other admins (both web UI and REST API)
- Update `_download_url()` and `_backup_payload()` in admin/backups.py to accept a `can_download` flag, gating the download endpoint with `is_primary_admin()`
- Remove `role` from `_user_facts()` in docs_live.py to avoid leaking admin status in live docs
- Update doc summaries in docs_api.py to reflect the new admin-visibility and backup-download semantics
- Record audit events in `admin_trash_restore` and `admin_trash_purge` endpoints with target metadata
- Log `notification.read.all` event when user clears devRant notification feed
- Include `devrant` as a valid origin in audit categories
- Add `admin_section` and `pagination_query` fields to audit and backup schemas for UI consistency
Split the monolithic test directory into three tiers (unit, api, e2e) with a path-mirroring directory structure. Added corresponding Makefile targets (test-unit, test-api, test-e2e) and updated all documentation references (CLAUDE.md, README.md, testing-cicd.html, testing-framework.html, testing-make.html) to reflect the new layout and naming conventions.
