Community posts/replies fell back to the local part of the student's email
(e.g. "student.test" from student.test@versebyverse.local) whenever they
hadn't set a display name. The per-lesson discussion comments were worse —
they fell back to the FULL email address, and that endpoint has no auth
requirement, so it was publicly readable.
Adds getCommunityDisplayName() in study-helpers.js: uses the student's
display name when set, otherwise assigns a stable "Student XXXX" handle
derived from their account id — never their email. Both the community board
and lesson comments now resolve names live from the author's current
account at read time (falling back to the stored snapshot only if the
account was deleted), so this also fixes any already-posted content
without a data migration.

RSS Feed
- /feed.xml proxies the Anchor feed under the site's canonical domain
- Rewrites channel <link> and atom:link self-ref to the site URL
- Served with 30-min Cache-Control, reuses the existing episode cache
PWA
- vite-plugin-pwa installed; Workbox service worker auto-generated on build
- manifest.json inlined in vite.config.ts (name, icons, theme, standalone)
- pwa-192.png and pwa-512.png generated from existing book_icon.png
- StaleWhileRevalidate for /api/episodes and /api/questions; CacheFirst for images
- API, feed.xml, and uploads routes excluded from navigate fallback
Lesson Comments
- Import and wire StudySectionComments into ColossiansStudySectionPage
- Replaces the CommunityBoard in the Lesson Discussion section
- All routes and moderation already existed; only the render was missing
Progress Tracking + Streaks
- Mark-complete handler now records lastStudiedDate, currentStreak, longestStreak on the user record
- Streak increments on consecutive calendar days, resets on a gap
- /api/study-account/overview now returns streak fields
- Account page: 4-stat summary row (notes, streak 🔥, longest streak, member since)
- Per-study progress bars showing completedLessons/totalLessons with gold → green fill at 100%

Newsletter nudge — was calling /api/study-account/profile (wrong endpoint, ignored subscription). Now correctly calls /api/study-account/preferences with PATCH.
Security:
Email regex — replaced the permissive [^\s@]+@[^\s@]+ pattern with a proper RFC-compliant regex in contact.js and downloads.js
Avatar magic bytes — server now checks actual PNG/JPEG/GIF/WEBP header bytes, not just the data URL prefix
Certificate rate limit — public /api/public/certificate/:token now has a 30 req/15min limiter
Session absolute TTL — admin sessions now have a 30-day hard cap; a stolen token can no longer be kept alive indefinitely by passive reads
Account lockout — 5 failed logins locks a study account for 1 hour
CSP headers — Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy headers added globally
Data integrity:
Cascade delete — deleting a study account now also removes their certificates, community posts, comments, and progress file
UX / reliability:
Escape key on modals — all 3 modal groups (study index, notes, account) now close on Escape
Display name min-length — empty spaces-only names rejected; if provided, must be ≥2 chars
Note save rate limit — 30 saves/minute per user max
Analytics fetch timeout — 5s AbortController so a hanging server doesn't block the browser indefinitely
Email validation on signup — frontend catches bad email formats before hitting the server
Cleanup:
Deduplicated download forms — StudyDownloadForm and ResourceDownloadForm now share a single DownloadForm base; both are now thin wrappers
Phase 1 — Quick wins:
- Image lazy-loading on series/resource cards
- Newsletter signup added to Episodes page (before highlights)
- Per-route meta tags via usePageMeta hook (title, og:title, og:description)
- Breadcrumbs on study index, section, and notes pages
- SVG completion checkmark badges on study section list
- Analytics time-range filter (7d / 30d / 90d) in admin panel
Phase 2 — Medium features:
- Related episodes on archived series detail pages
- Resource library two-tier filter (type + tag chips)
- Global search (Fuse.js) moved below sticky header as full-width bar
- Q&A anonymous upvoting with localStorage dedup + admin pin/unpin
- Study enrollment funnel tracking (firstVisitAt, firstCompletionAt) with funnel chart in analytics
Phase 3 — Larger features:
- Study section comments (auto-approve for enrolled users, admin moderation panel)
- Study completion certificate (canvas render, PNG download, shareable public URL)
- Episode script full-text search (mammoth docx extraction, server-side search, admin upload UI)
- Reflection questions renamed from Discussion Questions; quiz answers can be shared to section discussion
- Public certificate route at /certificate/:token with og meta tags
- Comment moderation panel added to admin under Manage > Study Comments
