Railway Deployment

  • Fixed the missing Prisma runtime client that caused container startup failures.
  • Railway now explicitly uses the tested Dockerfile and regenerates Prisma before migrations.
  • CI now builds and launches the production container and verifies its health endpoint.

Security, Reliability & Operations

  • Strengthened administrator permissions and closed role-escalation loopholes.
  • Only System Owners can create or manage administrators, and users cannot suspend or demote themselves.
  • Added centralized protection for every Administration page.
  • Added rate limiting for login, signup, password changes, uploads, and contest entries.
  • Reduced account-discovery risk during login and strengthened session cookies and session limits.
  • Added security headers, safer error pages, and audit records for important changes.
  • Passwords remain securely hashed and are never displayed to administrators.
  • Added SQLite foreign-key protections, indexes, integrity checks, and concurrent-write safeguards.
  • Added verified online SQLite backups and automatic cleanup of expired data.
  • Railway now refuses to start without persistent storage for the database and uploads.
  • Added a durable email outbox so failed deliveries are retried automatically.
  • Added membership, approval, upcoming-event, and license-expiration email notifications.
  • Added a functional mobile navigation menu and improved small-screen layouts.
  • Expanded automated security, database, upload, radio-frequency, export, desktop, and mobile testing.

Contest Desk Layout

  • Moved the scorecard closer to the top and reduced extra spacing so more of the Contest Desk fits on screen.

Contest Desk Entry Form

  • Simplified the logging area and made automatic mode selection respect a mode that the operator selected manually, such as CW.

Automatic Band & Mode

  • Band and mode now populate from the entered frequency before submission.

Contest Modes & Time

  • Replaced SSB with LSB and USB and changed displayed contest times to the 24-hour format.
