Signing in showed the "Welcome back!" toast but never left /login. The
session cookie was host-only on the API subdomain, so the Next middleware
guard on the site origin saw no cookie and bounced /dashboard straight
back to /login?redirect=/dashboard.
- Add AUTH_COOKIE_DOMAIN, wiring Better Auth's crossSubDomainCookies so
the cookie also reaches the site origin. Unset in dev, where localhost
is single-host and must stay host-only.
- Navigate after authentication with a full page load, via a shared
authRedirect helper: only a top-level request carries the httpOnly
cookie. Used by the login, register, magic-link and Google flows.
- Show "Redirecting..." on the login and register pages and keep the
submit button disabled until the browser replaces the page, instead of
re-enabling it mid-navigation.
- Guard against a redirect loop with a sessionStorage marker. A React ref
cannot do this: the full page load resets component state. If the
destination bounces back, explain it rather than navigating again.
- Middleware: accept any *.session_token cookie so a cookiePrefix change
cannot lock everyone out, and preserve the destination's query string.
- Trust any loopback port in dev, so reaching the dev server through a
forwarded port does not fail Better Auth's CSRF origin check.

Replace the hand-rolled JWT auth with Better Auth 1.6.25 httpOnly cookie
sessions, validated against the database on every request so revocation,
bans and role changes take effect immediately.
Backend:
- betterAuth.ts wires the Drizzle adapter, magic links, Google sign-in and
the admin plugin; auth-schema.ts maps Better Auth's models onto the
existing `users` table so user IDs and their foreign keys survive intact.
- routes/auth.ts is gone; Better Auth serves the standard endpoints and
authExt.ts carries the flows it doesn't cover.
- auth.ts shrinks to session resolution and helpers; sessions/revocation in
dashboard.ts now read and delete `auth_sessions` rows directly.
- Schema adds the Better Auth core + admin columns (email_verified, image,
banned, ban_reason, ban_expires), with migrations and tests.
- rateLimit.ts resolves client IPs spoof-resistantly: proxy headers are only
honoured from loopback/RFC1918 peers plus TRUSTED_PROXIES.
- passwordPolicy.ts centralises password validation.
- Bump drizzle-orm, drizzle-kit and better-sqlite3 to versions compatible
with Better Auth.
Frontend:
- auth-client.ts plus a reworked AuthContext and api/client.ts move to
cookie-based sessions; no more bearer tokens in requests or middleware.
photo-api:
- Validate Better Auth session cookies against the shared auth_sessions
table instead of verifying JWTs; JWT_SECRET is no longer needed for user
auth, and PHOTO_VIEW_SECRET now signs gallery view tokens.
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and BETTER_AUTH_URL are required in production; the
deprecated JWT_SECRET stays only as the photo-api view-token fallback.

- Locks no longer fail open: an unreachable backend throws
LockUnavailableError and withLock skips the run (or opts into running
unlocked, as template seeding does). The lnbits payment poller keeps
polling through an outage, made safe by only sending confirmation
emails when a row actually transitioned.
- Rate limiter INCR+PEXPIRE now runs as one Lua script, self-healing
counters stranded without a TTL.
- Per-email login lockout moves to a Redis-backed store shared across
replicas (in-memory fallback preserved), case-insensitive on email.
- Graceful shutdown on SIGTERM/SIGINT: stop periodic jobs, close the
server, force-close lingering SSE sockets, close Redis.
- Active PING probe backs the health flag; /health reports last ping.
SSE payment streams also poll the DB as a pub/sub-gap fallback.
- Scale compose gains requirepass, maxmemory 256mb with noeviction, and
an authenticated healthcheck; .env.example documents passwords, TLS
(rediss://), and DB-index selection.
- First tests in the repo: vitest + ioredis-mock covering the lock,
rate limiter, and login lockout stores (27 tests).
