+
+## Pending Recommendations
+
+### Click-to-toggle Paid/Unpaid Status
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED v0.19.0  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by _null
+
+**Description:**
+Allow users to click directly on the "Paid", "Missed", "Late", "Due Soon", "Upcoming" status in the tracker to toggle between Paid and Unpaid states without opening the bill modal.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Added `POST /api/bills/:id/toggle-paid` endpoint
+- StatusBadge component now supports `clickable` prop with hover effects
+- Clicking Paid removes payment (soft delete), Clicking Unpaid creates payment
+- Confirmation dialog before toggling Unpaid → Paid
+- Loading spinner during API call
+- Toast notifications on success/failure
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `routes/bills.js` — new toggle-paid endpoint
+- `client/api.js` — togglePaid API function
+- `client/pages/TrackerPage.jsx` — StatusBadge click handler, enhanced StatusBadge component
+
+---
+
+### Billing Cycle Sub-categories for Weekly/Monthly
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by _null
+
+**Description:**
+Add sub-categories to billing cycles. Current cycles (1st, 15th, Other) work for monthly bills, but need weekly and monthly options with sub-categories for due dates.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Supports users with weekly bills (rent, subscriptions, etc.) and more complex monthly schedules. Requires backend schema changes and frontend updates.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+**Backend:**
+- Add `cycle_type` enum: `monthly`, `weekly`, `biweekly`, `quarterly`, `annual`
+- Add `cycle_subcategory` for specific day (e.g., "Monday", "1st", "15th")
+- Migration for existing bills (default to `monthly`)
+- Update bill creation/edit endpoints
+
+**Frontend:**
+- Dropdown for cycle type
+- Conditional sub-category selector based on type
+- Update Tracker to group by cycle type
+- Files likely to be modified: `db/schema.sql`, `db/database.js`, `routes/bills.js`, `client/pages/BillsPage.jsx`, `client/components/BillModal.jsx`
+- Estimated effort: 6-8 hours
+
+---
+
+### Previous Month Paid Amount on Tracker Page
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by _null
+
+**Description:**
+Display the previous month's total paid amount on the Tracker page, positioned between "Expected" and "Paid" columns.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Context for users to compare current month spending vs. previous month at a glance. Helps with budgeting and spotting anomalies.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Fetch previous month's payment data alongside current month
+- New column: "Last Month" between Expected and Paid
+- Option to show/hide via settings
+- Consider sparkline mini-chart for trend
+- Files likely to be modified: `routes/tracker.js`, `client/pages/TrackerPage.jsx`
+- Estimated effort: 3 hours
+
+---
+
+### 3-Month Trend Indicator with Up/Down Arrows
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by _null
+
+**Description:**
+Add trend indicators showing whether the last 3 months of payments went up or down compared to current month. Display as up/down arrow with percentage change.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Visual trend indicator helps users identify spending patterns without navigating to Analytics page.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Calculate 3-month rolling average
+- Compare current month vs. previous 3-month average
+- Show green up arrow if trending up (more paid), red down arrow if trending down
+- Display percentage change
+- Position in Tracker header or Summary card
+- Files likely to be modified: `routes/analytics.js` (new endpoint), `client/pages/TrackerPage.jsx` or `client/pages/SummaryPage.jsx`
+- Estimated effort: 4 hours
+
+---
+
+### Add React.memo() to prevent unnecessary re-renders
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED v0.19.0  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+Many components render on every state change in the parent (especially App.jsx, TrackerPage.jsx, BillsPage.jsx), causing unnecessary re-renders of child components that don't depend on those specific state changes.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Applied `React.memo()` to StatusBadge, SummaryCard, MobileBillRow, MobileTrackerRow, NavPill, and BrandBlock
+- Extracted NavPill and BrandBlock to separate files in `client/components/layout/`
+- Fixed missing React imports and useState bugs during implementation
+- Build verified successful
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `client/components/StatusBadge.jsx`
+- `client/components/SummaryCard.jsx`
+- `client/components/MobileBillRow.jsx`
+- `client/components/MobileTrackerRow.jsx`
+- `client/components/layout/NavPill.jsx` (new file)
+- `client/components/layout/BrandBlock.jsx` (new file)
+- `client/components/layout/Sidebar.jsx` (refactored to use new components)
+
+
+### Implement proper error boundaries
+**Priority:** CRITICAL  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+The app has no React error boundaries. When a component throws an error (network failure, unexpected data shape, etc.), the entire app crashes with a white screen and no clear path to recovery.
+
+**Rationale:**
+User experience and reliability. Currently, any JavaScript error in a component causes a complete app crash. Error boundaries would allow the app to display a fallback UI and potentially recover. This is especially important for production use where you can't predict all error conditions.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Create a generic `ErrorBoundary` component with fallback UI
+- Wrap top-level pages (TrackerPage, BillsPage, AnalyticsPage) in error boundaries
+- Wrap App.jsx router with error boundary
+- Log errors to console and optionally to error tracking service
+- Consider adding `componentDidCatch` class component wrapper for critical paths
+- Files likely to be modified: Add new `client/components/ErrorBoundary.jsx`, wrap pages in App.jsx
+- Estimated effort: 45-60 minutes
+
+
+### Add loading skeletons and better async state management
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+Many pages show only "Loading..." or no state between async API calls and data rendering. Pages like TrackerPage, AnalyticsPage, and BillsPage have inconsistent loading states.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Perceived performance. Users should see immediate visual feedback when data is loading, even if the actual data loads slowly. Skeleton loaders prevent layout shifts and set proper expectations about wait times.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Add loading skeleton components for:
+  - Summary cards (4 skeleton cards for TrackerPage)
+  - Table rows (skeleton rows for bills tracker tables)
+  - Chart placeholders (shimmer effect for analytics)
+  - Form fields (skeleton inputs for modals)
+- Create reusable Skeleton components in `client/components/ui/Skeleton.jsx`
+- Implement loading state with proper transitions (fade in/out)
+- Consider adding `aria-busy` attributes during load
+- Files likely to be modified: `client/components/ui/`, `client/pages/TrackerPage.jsx`, `client/pages/AnalyticsPage.jsx`, `client/pages/BillsPage.jsx`
+- Estimated effort: 60-90 minutes
+
+
+### Add keyboard navigation and accessible ARIA labels
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+While many components use semantic HTML, several interactive elements lack proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, or focus management, making the app inaccessible to screen reader users and keyboard-only users.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Accessibility compliance and broader user reach. Bill Tracker should be usable by everyone. WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance requires:
+- Proper labeling of interactive elements
+- Keyboard navigation support
+- Focus management in modals
+- Screen reader announcements for dynamic content
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Audit all interactive components for missing ARIA labels:
+  - Buttons without `aria-label` or visible text
+  - Icons used as buttons
+  - Custom selects and dropdowns
+  - Modal dialogs (missing `role="dialog"` and `aria-modal`)
+- Add focus management to modals (trap focus, return focus on close)
+- Ensure keyboard navigation works through all pages
+- Add proper `aria-live` regions for toast notifications
+- Ensure color contrast meets WCAG AA standards (verify with axe DevTools)
+- Files likely to be modified: `client/components/*.jsx`, `client/pages/*.jsx`
+- Estimated effort: 2-3 hours for comprehensive audit and fixes
+
+
+### Add React Query (TanStack Query) for server state management
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+Currently using manual `useState`/`useEffect` patterns with custom `api` wrapper for data fetching. This leads to duplicated loading/error handling, stale data issues, and no request caching.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Developer experience and performance. React Query provides:
+- Automatic request caching and stale-while-revalidate
+- Background refetching
+- Optimistic updates
+- Request deduplication
+- Built-in loading/error states
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Replace manual API calls in pages with `useQuery`, `useMutation`
+- Add query keys for cache invalidation
+- Implement global query client with React Query DevTools
+- Gradual migration: start with TrackerPage, then BillsPage, then AnalyticsPage
+- Files likely to be modified: `client/pages/*.jsx`, add `client/hooks/useQueryClient.js`
+- Estimated effort: 4-6 hours for full migration
+
+
+### Add comprehensive unit and integration tests
+**Priority:** LOW  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+Currently no unit tests exist for components or hooks. The only testing appears to be functional tests in `test-functional.js`. Component-level testing is missing.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Code quality and maintainability. Unit tests catch regressions and document component behavior. Bill Tracker has complex business logic (bill calculations, monthly state, analytics) that should be tested.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Set up Jest + React Testing Library
+- Test key components: BillModal, TrackerPage row, BillsTableInner
+- Test hooks: useAuth, custom form hooks
+- Test utility functions in `client/lib/utils.js`
+- Consider vitest for faster test execution
+- Add CI integration for test execution
+- Files likely to be modified: Add `client/test/` directory, add `jest.config.cjs`
+- Estimated effort: 8-12 hours for baseline coverage
+
+
+### Optimize bundle size and code splitting
+**Priority:** LOW  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:
+No code splitting is implemented. All JavaScript loads on initial page load, including rarely used pages like AdminPage (1873 lines) and DataPage (1583 lines).
+
+**Rationale:**
+Initial load performance. Users shouldn't download admin-only code if they're regular users. Code splitting reduces initial bundle size and improves time-to-interactive.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Use React.lazy() for route-level code splitting
+- Lazy load admin routes for non-admin users
+- Lazy load rarely used pages (DataPage, AnalyticsPage)
+- Consider dynamic imports for large dependencies (xlsx, openid-client)
+- Analyze bundle with `vite-bundle-visualizer`
+- Add preload hints for critical resources
+- Files likely to be modified: `client/App.jsx`, `vite.config.js`
+- Estimated effort: 1-2 hours
+
+
+### Add consistent form state management pattern
+**Priority:** MEH  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
+
+**Description:**
+Form state management is inconsistent across components. Some use `useState` for each field, others use form libraries. Validation patterns vary.
+
+**Rationale:**
+Consistency and maintainability. A consistent pattern makes it easier to add new forms and reduce bugs.
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Consider react-hook-form for complex forms
+- Create reusable form field components (InputField, SelectField, etc.)
+- Standardize validation approach
+- Files likely to be modified: `client/components/*.jsx`
+- Estimated effort: 4-6 hours for migration
+

+
+## Backend Analysis Recommendations (by Neo)
+
+### Database Query Optimization: Add Missing Indexes
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Several frequently queried columns lack indexes, causing full table scans on growth.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `bills.name` and `bills.user_id` are used in WHERE clauses but only indexed as part of composite indexes
+- `payments.method` is used for filtering but has no index
+- `monthly_starting_amounts.user_id` exists but lacks explicit index
+- `import_history.imported_at` is used for cleanup but not indexed
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/db/database.js` (migrations section)
+- Estimated effort: 30 minutes
+- Add these indexes:
+  ```sql
+  CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_bills_user_name ON bills(user_id, name);
+  CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_payments_method ON payments(method);
+  CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_monthly_starting_amounts_user ON monthly_starting_amounts(user_id);
+  CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_import_history_imported_at ON import_history(imported_at);
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### Security: Missing Input Validation on Bulk Operations
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+The `/api/payments/bulk` endpoint validates individual items but lacks validation for the request body as a whole.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- No maximum item count check — an attacker could send 10,000+ items
+- No size limit on JSON body beyond Express defaults
+- Missing rate limiting per user (not just per IP) for bulk operations
+- No duplicate detection — sending same payment twice creates duplicates
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/routes/payments.js`
+- Estimated effort: 2 hours
+- Add:
+  - Max 50 items per request
+  - Max 5MB body size
+  - Per-user rate limit (e.g., 10 bulk operations per hour)
+  - Duplicate detection using `bill_id + paid_date + amount` hash
+
+---
+
+### Security: Session Token Expiry Not Enforced at Database Level
+**Priority:** CRITICAL  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Session tokens expire in application logic but database records persist indefinitely.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `/services/authService.js` checks `expires_at > datetime('now')` in code
+- Expired sessions accumulate in `sessions` table
+- No cleanup worker for orphaned/expired sessions
+- Risk of table bloat and potential token reuse if bugs exist
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/db/database.js`, `/services/cleanupService.js`
+- Estimated effort: 4 hours
+- Add:
+  - Database-level cleanup job (runs daily via admin cleanup service)
+  - SQL:
+    ```sql
+    DELETE FROM sessions WHERE expires_at < datetime('now');
+    ```
+  - Consider adding `created_at` + `last_used_at` for better cleanup targeting
+
+---
+
+### Architecture: Business Logic Mixed with Route Handlers
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Many routes contain business logic that should be extracted to service layers.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `bills.js` contains `parseDueDay()`, `parseInterestRate()` — validation logic
+- `tracker.js` contains date/range calculations that are reused across routes
+- `admin.js` has complex OIDC config building mixed with routing
+- `analytics.js` has complex date-building logic (`buildMonths`, `monthKey`, etc.)
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: Multiple route files + new service files in `/services/`
+- Estimated effort: 8 hours
+- Proposed structure:
+  ```
+  /services/billsService.js
+  /services/trackerService.js
+  /services/analyticsService.js
+  /services/authService.js (existing)
+  /services/oidcService.js (existing)
+  /services/cleanupService.js (existing)
+  ```
+- Route handlers should call services, not contain business logic
+
+---
+
+### Features: Missing Audit Logging for Critical Operations
+**Priority:** HIGH  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Security-sensitive operations lack comprehensive audit trails.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Password changes (via `/api/profile/change-password`) not logged
+- User role changes (admin routes) not logged
+- Session invalidation events not tracked
+- Import/export operations only tracked via `import_history` table, missing details
+- CSRF token validation failures not logged
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/services/auditService.js` (new file), route files
+- Estimated effort: 4 hours
+- Add audit table:
+  ```sql
+  CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS audit_log (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    user_id INTEGER,
+    action TEXT NOT NULL,
+    entity_type TEXT,
+    entity_id INTEGER,
+    details_json TEXT,
+    ip_address TEXT,
+    user_agent TEXT,
+    created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
+  );
+  CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_audit_log_user ON audit_log(user_id, created_at);
+  ```
+- Log: password changes, role changes, login attempts (success/fail), session invalidation
+
+---
+
+### Features: Missing Export for User-Specific Reports
+**Priority:** LOW  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+No built-in way to export filtered data (e.g., "all bills in category X for last 6 months").
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `/api/analytics/summary` exists but returns JSON only
+- Users cannot generate Excel/PDF reports
+- No programmatic way to get export links for specific filters
+- `/api/export/user-excel` exports everything, not filtered views
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/routes/export.js`
+- Estimated effort: 6 hours
+- Add endpoints:
+  - `GET /api/export/user-excel?category_id=1&start=2026-01&end=2026-06`
+  - `GET /api/export/user-json?filter=bills&status=missed`
+  - Add report title/description to export metadata
+
+---
+
+### Performance: N+1 Query Patterns in Tracker and Analytics
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Looping over bills and querying payments/state individually causes N+1 queries.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `tracker.js` line 27-37: iterates over `bills`, runs `mbsStmt.get()` per bill
+- `analytics.js` uses `bills.map()` and builds maps with per-bill lookups
+- With 50 bills, this creates 100+ extra queries per request
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/routes/tracker.js`, `/analytics.js`
+- Estimated effort: 3 hours
+- Use batch queries instead:
+  ```js
+  // Fetch all monthly states for bills in one query
+  const states = db.prepare(`
+    SELECT * FROM monthly_bill_state
+    WHERE bill_id IN (${billIds.join(',')}) AND year=? AND month=?
+  `).all(billIds, year, month);
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### Security: Session Token Not Rotated on Auth Events
+**Priority:** MEDIUM  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Session tokens are not rotated on password change or logout events.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `admin.js` deletes sessions on password change, but this is inconsistent
+- `/api/profile/change-password` does not invalidate other sessions
+- Logout only removes current session, doesn't invalidate others
+- Session tokens are static — no rotation mechanism
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/services/authService.js`
+- Estimated effort: 4 hours
+- Add:
+  - `session_version` or `token_seed` column in `users` table
+  - Increment seed on password change, logout all
+  - Validate seed in `getSessionUser()`
+  - Logout invalidates only current session (more usable)
+
+---
+
+### Features: Missing Bill Grouping and Reorganization API
+**Priority:** LOW  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+No way to reorder bills, drag-and-drop, or group by custom criteria.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `bills` table has `due_day` ordering but no manual sort order
+- Frontend likely orders by `due_day` only
+- Users cannot create bill groups or categories for bills
+- No way to mark bills as "hidden" or "archived" without deactivating
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/db/schema.sql`, `/routes/bills.js`
+- Estimated effort: 6 hours
+- Add:
+  - `sort_order` column to bills table (default NULL, ordered first by sort_order then due_day)
+  - `PUT /api/bills/reorder` endpoint accepting `{bill_id: new_index}`
+  - `PUT /api/bills/:id/archived` to soft-dearchive (sets `archived` flag)
+
+---
+
+### Security: Error Messages Expose Implementation Details
+**Priority:** LOW  
+**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Neo
+
+**Description:**
+Some error messages leak database or implementation details.
+
+**Rationale:**
+- SQLite errors (e.g., "UNIQUE constraint failed") bubble up in some paths
+- Stack traces logged to console (not in HTTP response, but visible in logs)
+- DB path exposed in error messages if `DB_PATH` env is set incorrectly
+- Migration errors include full SQL in some cases
+
+**Implementation Notes:**
+- Files to modify: `/home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker/middleware/errorFormatter.js`, `/server.js` error handler
+- Estimated effort: 2 hours
+- Add generic error messages for 500s:
+  ```json
+  { "error": "INTERNAL_ERROR", "message": "An unexpected error occurred. Please contact support.", "code": "ERR-500" }
+  ```
+- Log detailed errors server-side only, never in response
+- Sanitize all error messages before sending

+### CSRF & Rate Limiter Fixes (Neo) - 2026-05-08
+
+#### CSRF Token Handling Fixes
+**Issue:** Create user and other state-changing requests failing with CSRF errors.
+
+**Root Cause:** Legacy and public API clients not sending CSRF tokens.
+
+**Fixes Applied:**
+1. `client/api.js` - ✅ Already correct
+2. `legacy/js/api.js` - ✅ Fixed - added `credentials: 'include'` and CSRF token extraction
+3. `public/js/api.js` - ✅ Fixed - added `credentials: 'include'` and CSRF token extraction
+
+#### CSRF Cookie httpOnly Configuration (Neo) - 2026-05-08
+**Issue:** Need configurable CSRF cookie httpOnly setting for SPA vs secure mode.
+
+**Fixes Applied:**
+1. ✅ `middleware/csrf.js` - Added `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY` env var support (default: `true`)
+2. ✅ `docker-compose.yml` - Added `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY: "true"` with documentation
+3. ✅ `.env.example` - Added `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY` example with comments
+4. ✅ `REVIEW.md` - Updated to document new configuration option
+
+**Configuration:**
+- **Secure mode (default):** `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=true` or unset
+  - CSRF cookie is NOT readable by JavaScript
+  - Token must be sent via `x-csrf-token` header
+  - Recommended for production
+
+- **SPA mode:** `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=false`
+  - CSRF cookie IS readable by JavaScript
+  - Enables SPA to read token and send via header
+  - Only use if required for SPA architecture
+
+**Security Impact:**
+- Default remains secure (httpOnly: true) per OWASP recommendations
+- httpOnly cookies cannot be accessed via `document.cookie` (prevents XSS token theft)
+- SPA mode requires client to extract token from cookie via JavaScript
+
+**CSRF Audit Results:**
+| Endpoint | Method | CSRF Protected |
+|----------|--------|----------------|
+| `/api/auth/login` | POST | ✅ Exempt (first-run) |
+| `/api/auth/logout` | POST | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/admin/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/bills/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/payments/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/categories/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/settings/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/tracker/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/calendar/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/summary/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/profile/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/import/*` | POST/GET | ✅ Protected |
+| `/api/notifications/*` | POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH | ✅ Protected |
+
+#### Rate Limiter Fixes
+**Issue:** "Too many login attempts" and "Too many password change attempts" on first login.
+
+**Root Cause:** Rate limiters applied before any users existed, blocking initial setup.
+
+**Fix Applied:**
+- Added `skipRateLimitIfNoUsers()` middleware in `server.js`
+- Checks user count at request time (not startup)
+- If no users exist: bypasses rate limiting
+- If users exist: normal rate limiting applies
+- Removed `passwordLimiter` from `/api/auth` mount (now only on actual password change routes)
+
+**Status:** ✅ All rate limiting working correctly

+## 🔍 Additional Security Findings - Audit 2026-05-08
+
+### XLSX Library Known Vulnerabilities
+**Severity:** MEDIUM (mitigations in place)
+**File:** `services/spreadsheetImportService.js`
+**Status:** ✅ **FIXED - 2026-05-08**
+
+The project uses `xlsx` (SheetJS Community Edition) which has known CVEs:
+- Prototype pollution (no OSS fix available as of 2026)
+- ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) vulnerabilities
+
+**Current Mitigations (All Applied):**
+1. ✅ `cellFormula: false` - Never parses/execute formulas
+2. ✅ `cellHTML: false` - Never parses HTML markup
+3. ✅ 10MB file-size cap via `express.raw({ limit: '10mb' })`
+4. ✅ XLSX magic-bytes validation before parsing (`isXlsxBuffer()`)
+5. ✅ Authenticated session required - no anonymous uploads
+6. ✅ All cells treated as plain string data; no formula result access
+7. ✅ 5000 row limit per import
+8. ✅ **Input sanitization** - Added cell content validation (type, length checks)
+9. ✅ **Content-type validation** - Rejects non-expected cell types and long strings
+
+**Recommendation:** Monitor SheetJS security updates. Consider migration to `exceljs` if vulnerabilities are exploitable in your threat model.
+
+---
+
+### Missing Content Security Policy (CSP)
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**File:** `middleware/securityHeaders.js`
+**Status:** ✅ **FIXED - 2026-05-08**
+
+Content Security Policy (CSP) is now implemented with nonce-based policies to support Tailwind/shadcn inline styles and Vite build hashes.
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. ✅ Nonce generation per request via `crypto.randomBytes(16)`
+2. ✅ Script CSP: `script-src 'self' 'nonce-${nonce}'`
+3. ✅ Style CSP: `style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'nonce-${nonce}'`
+4. ✅ Additional directives: img-src, font-src, connect-src, frame-ancestors, form-action, base-uri, object-src
+5. ✅ All inline styles/scripts require matching nonce
+
+**Recommendation:** Audit inline styles and implement CSP with strict nonce-based policies. Consider migrating from inline styles to CSS classes where possible.
+
+---
+
+### Backup Restore Without Integrity Verification
+**Severity:** MEDIUM (previously LOW)
+**Files:** `services/backupService.js`, `routes/admin.js`
+**Status:** ✅ **FIXED - 2026-05-08**
+
+The backup import functionality (`POST /api/admin/backups/import`) now validates SHA-256 checksums for all imported backup files.
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. ✅ SHA-256 checksum generation via `checksumFile()` function
+2. ✅ Checksum validation function: `validateChecksum()`
+3. ✅ Backup import accepts optional `x-checksum-sha256` header or `checksum` query param
+4. ✅ Rejects imports with invalid/missing checksums
+5. ✅ Checksums stored in metadata for audit trail
+
+**Risk:** An attacker with database write access could potentially inject malicious SQLite files.
+
+**Mitigation:** Database path is server-side only; checksum verification now blocks malformed imports. Foreign key constraints provide additional protection.
+
+---
+
+### No Rate Limit on Backup Operations
+**Severity:** LOW
+**File:** `server.js`, `middleware/rateLimiter.js`
+**Status:** ✅ **FIXED - 2026-05-08**
+
+Backup operations now have dedicated rate limiting to prevent resource exhaustion.
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. ✅ Dedicated `backupOperationLimiter` (5 operations per 60 minutes per IP)
+2. ✅ Applied to all `/api/admin` routes (backups, restore, cleanup)
+3. ✅ Separate from general admin action limiter to prevent interference
+
+**Risk:** Resource exhaustion via repeated backup operations.
+
+**Mitigation:** Rate limiting prevents abuse while allowing legitimate administrative use.
+
+---
+
+### Error ID Leakage in Responses
+**Severity:** INFO (minimal risk)
+**Files:** `routes/import.js`, `routes/export.js`
+**Status:** ✅ **FIXED - 2026-05-08**
+
+Import routes no longer expose error IDs in user-facing responses.
+
+**Implementation:**
+1. ✅ Error IDs still logged server-side for debugging (`console.error`)
+2. ✅ Error IDs removed from all user-facing error responses
+3. ✅ Client sees generic error message only
+4. ✅ Export routes verified - no error IDs present
+
+**Recommendation:** Log error IDs server-side only. Consider removing them from user-facing error responses.

+### Problems Found - BACKEND
+
+⚠️ **~~CRITICAL: Session validation bypass in single-user mode~~** ✅ **FIXED**
+**Severity:** ~~HIGH~~ ✅ RESOLVED
+**File:** ~~`middleware/requireAuth.js`, `services/authService.js`~~
+**Fix:** Session validation now enforced in single-user mode via `getSessionUser()` check.
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **~~CRITICAL: SQL injection risk in dynamic table/column names~~** ✅ **FIXED**
+**Severity:** ~~HIGH~~ ✅ RESOLVED
+**File:** ~~`db/database.js`, `services/spreadsheetImportService.js`~~
+**Fix:** Whitelist mapping + regex validation implemented for migration column names.
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **~~MEDIUM: Inconsistent error responses across routes~~** ✅ **FIXED**
+**Severity:** ~~MEDIUM~~ ✅ RESOLVED
+**Files:** ~~Various route handlers~~
+**Fix:** Centralized error formatter implemented; all routes now return standardized format:
+```json
+{
+  "error": "ValidationError",
+  "message": "...",
+  "field": "...",
+  "code": "..."
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **~~MEDIUM: Rate limiting bypass potential~~** ✅ **FIXED**
+**Severity:** ~~MEDIUM~~ ✅ RESOLVED
+**File:** ~~`middleware/rateLimiter.js`~~
+**Fix:** All rate limiters centralized at server.js level; route-level limiters removed.
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **MEDIUM: Session ID entropy**
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**File:** `services/authService.js`
+
+Sessions use `crypto.randomUUID()` - 128 bits, cryptographically secure. **Session rotation now implemented** on privilege escalation via session deletion.
+
+**Implementation:** When an admin changes a user's role, all active sessions for that user are deleted. This forces re-authentication with the new role, preventing session hijacking from being used to bypass privilege checks.
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **LOW: Missing database indexes for time-range queries**
+**Severity:** LOW
+**File:** `db/database.js`
+
+The `bills` table has indexes on `user_id`, but queries filtering by `due_date` ranges (common in bill trackers) lack covering indexes.
+
+**Example:**
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM bills WHERE user_id = ? AND due_date BETWEEN ? AND ?
+-- Current: Uses user_id index, then filters by date
+-- Optimal: Composite index on (user_id, due_date)
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** Add composite index `(user_id, due_date)` for common date-range queries.

+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Files:** `TrackerPage.jsx`, `AnalyticsPage.jsx`, `BillsPage.jsx`
+
+Tables and analytics heatmap overflow on mobile without horizontal scroll.
+
+**Recommendation:** Add `overflow-x-auto` containers for tables and heatmap grids.
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **HIGH: Missing inline form validation**
+**Severity:** HIGH
+**Files:** `BillForm.jsx`, `CategoryForm.jsx`, `PaymentForm.jsx`
+
+Validation errors only appear after form submission, not during input.
+
+**Recommendation:** Add real-time validation with visual feedback (red borders, error messages below fields).
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **MEDIUM: Loading state UX gaps**
+**Severity:** MEDIUM
+**Files:** All page components
+
+Route transitions show blank screen while loading. No skeleton placeholders.
+
+**Recommendation:** Implement React Suspense with skeleton loaders for better perceived performance.
+
+---
+
+⚠️ **LOW: Color contrast issues**
+**Severity:** LOW

+
+## Bishop - Security Fixes Verification (Round 2)
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-08
+**Status:** ✅ APPROVED
+
+### CSRF Protection Verification
+
+**Implementation:** `middleware/csrf.js`
+
+- ✅ Cryptographically secure tokens: `crypto.randomBytes(32)` (256 bits)
+- ✅ Tokens stored in HTTP-only cookies (`bt_csrf_token`)
+- ✅ Tokens validated via three methods: header (`x-csrf-token`), query (`csrf_token`), body (`csrf_token`)
+- ✅ Safe methods (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS) exempted from validation
+- ✅ State-changing methods (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) require tokens
+- ✅ Applies to all state-changing routes via `server.js` middleware chain
+- ✅ API routes can opt-out via `req.csrfSkip` flag for alternate auth
+- ✅ Returns clear 403 error with actionable message on failure
+
+**Coverage in server.js:**
+- ✅ `/api/auth` - CSRF applied with rate limiting
+- ✅ `/api/auth/oidc` - CSRF applied with rate limiting
+- ✅ `/api/admin` - CSRF applied (all admin routes require auth+admin)
+- ✅ `/api/tracker`, `/api/bills`, `/api/payments`, `/api/categories`, `/api/settings`, `/api/calendar`, `/api/summary`, `/api/monthly-starting-amounts`, `/api/analytics`, `/api/notifications`, `/api/status` - all CSRF protected
+- ✅ `/api/profile`, `/api/export`, `/api/import` - CSRF applied
+
+**No bypass paths:** All state-changing API routes are covered. No unprotected mutation endpoints.
+
+---
+
+### Session ID Rotation Verification
+
+**Implementation:** `services/authService.js` - `rotateSessionId()` function
+
+- ✅ Deletes old session only after validating ownership and expiration
+- ✅ Creates new session in database transaction (BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK)
+- ✅ Preserves user context (same user_id)
+- ✅ Returns new session ID on success, null on failure
+
+**Integration in `routes/admin.js`:**
+- ✅ `/api/admin/users/:id/role` - deletes all sessions when role changes (lines 155-158)
+- ✅ `/api/admin/users/:id/active` - deletes all sessions when user is deactivated (lines 176-177)
+- ✅ `/api/admin/users/:id/password` - deletes all sessions when password changes (line 99)
+- ✅ User deletion - clears all sessions in transaction (line 183)
+
+**Effect:** When an admin changes a user's role, the user is forced to re-authenticate with the new role, preventing session hijacking from being used to bypass privilege checks.
+
+---
+
+### No Regressions Detected
+
+- ✅ CSRF middleware does not interfere with authentication flow
+- ✅ All existing route handlers remain functional
+- ✅ Rate limiting and auth middleware chain order preserved
+- ✅ Database schema unchanged (no migrations needed)
+- ✅ No breaking changes to public API surface
+
+---
+
+### Final Verdict
+
+| Fix | Verification | Status |
+|-----|--------------|--------|
+| CSRF protection | Middleware validates tokens for POST/PUT/DELETE; tokens in HTTP-only cookies | ✅ APPROVED |
+| Session ID rotation | Sessions deleted on role change; new session created via transaction | ✅ APPROVED |
+| Functionality regressions | No regressions detected | ✅ APPROVED |
+
+**Recommendation:** Security fixes are correct and complete. Ready for deployment.

+## Demo Data Seeding Feature (2026-05-08)
+
+**Status:** ✅ **IMPLEMENTED - Admin UI Access**
+
+**Files Added/Modified:**
+- `scripts/seedDemoData.js` - New seed script
+- `routes/admin.js` - Added POST `/api/admin/seed-demo-data` endpoint

+- `client/pages/AdminPage.jsx` - Added SeedDataCard component
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+
+1. **Seed Script (`scripts/seedDemoData.js`)**
+   - Connects to existing database (uses DB_PATH from env or default)
+   - Creates 8 demo categories: Utilities, Housing, Insurance, Subscriptions, Transportation, Healthcare, Finance, Entertainment
+   - Generates 20 realistic bills with varied data:
+     - Real-world bill names: Electric Company, City Water Dept, Rent/Mortgage, Car Insurance, Netflix, Gym Membership, Internet Provider, Cell Phone, Health Insurance, Credit Card, Student Loan, Gas Utility, Trash Service, Homeowners Insurance, Car Payment, Spotify, Adobe Creative Cloud, Amazon Prime, Grocery Delivery, Dental Insurance
+     - Realistic amounts ($15 - $2500)
+     - Due days 1-28
+     - Mix of billing cycles (monthly, quarterly, annual)
+     - Random autopay flags
+     - Interest rates where applicable (0-15%)
+   - Idempotent: can run multiple times safely (checks for existing data)
+   - Associates bills with admin user (user_id 1)
+
+2. **Admin API Endpoint (`routes/admin.js`)**
+   - Added POST `/api/admin/seed-demo-data` endpoint
+   - Requires admin authentication
+   - Returns success message with counts of bills and categories created
+
+3. **Admin UI (`client/pages/AdminPage.jsx`)**
+   - Added SeedDataCard component with button and status display
+   - Calls `api.seedDemoData()` on button click
+   - Shows toast notification on success/error
+   - Displays summary of created bills and categories
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ 20 realistic demo bills with varied data
+- ✅ 8 demo categories
+- ✅ Idempotent operation (safe to run multiple times)
+- ✅ Admin-only access with authentication
+- ✅ User-friendly UI with confirmation and feedback
+- ✅ Summary display showing created counts
+
+**Testing:**

+2. ✅ Added `Sparkles` icon from lucide-react with amber/orange color coding for data generation
+3. ✅ Improved success toast with bill count (`toast.success('Created X demo bills successfully.')`)
+4. ✅ Better error handling with toast.error for clear feedback
+5. ✅ Visual summary card showing created counts after seeding
+6. ✅ Preview card before seeding with checkmarks showing what will be created
+7. ✅ Color-coded badges: Amber for "Preview", Emerald for "Complete"
+8. ✅ Warning banner about data association with admin account
+9. ✅ Reset button to start over after successful seeding
+
+**UI Components Used:**
+- `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardTitle`, `CardContent` (shadcn/ui)
+- `AlertDialog`, `AlertDialogContent`, `AlertDialogHeader`, `AlertDialogTitle`, `AlertDialogDescription`, `AlertDialogFooter`, `AlertDialogCancel`, `AlertDialogAction` (shadcn/ui)
+- `Button` (shadcn/ui) - with amber color variant for primary action
+- `Badge` (shadcn/ui) - amber/emerald color variants
+- `Sparkles` icon from lucide-react
+
+**UX Improvements:**
+- Confirmation prevents accidental seeding
+- Clear description of what will be created
+- Visual feedback with icons and color coding
+- Summary display after successful seeding
+- Reset capability to seed again

+## Security Audit - Demo Data Seeding Feature
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-08
+**Auditor:** Private_Hudson
+**Project:** /home/kaspa/.openclaw/Projects/bill-tracker
+**Task:** Security review of new implementations
+
+---
+
+### Executive Summary
+
+| Component | Status | Risk Level |
+|-----------|--------|------------|
+| `scripts/seedDemoData.js` | ✅ PASS | Low |
+| `routes/admin.js` (POST `/api/admin/seed-demo-data`) | ✅ PASS | Low |
+| `client/pages/AdminPage.jsx` (SeedDataCard) | ✅ PASS | Low |
+| **Overall Verdict** | ✅ **SECURE** | No blocking issues |
+
+---
+
+### 1. Demo Seed Script (`scripts/seedDemoData.js`)
+
+#### Security Analysis
+| Vulnerability | Finding | Status |
+|---------------|---------|--------|
+| **SQL Injection** | All queries use parameterized prepared statements | ✅ PASS |
+| **Path Traversal** | Only uses `path.join()` with no user input | ✅ PASS |
+| **Data Validation** | Checks existing bills before seeding (idempotent) | ✅ PASS |
+| **Admin User Lookup** | Parameterized query: `role = ?` | ✅ PASS |
+| **Secrets Exposure** | DB_PATH from environment only | ✅ PASS |
+| **Error Handling** | Generic error messages only | ✅ PASS |
+
+#### Critical Checks (Verified)
+```js
+// ✅ All queries parameterized
+SELECT id FROM categories WHERE user_id = ? AND LOWER(name) = LOWER(?)
+INSERT INTO categories (user_id, name) VALUES (?, ?)
+SELECT id FROM users WHERE role = ? ORDER BY id LIMIT 1
+```
+
+**Risk Assessment: LOW**
+- Script runs in admin-only context (server environment)
+- No user-controlled input in queries
+- Idempotent design prevents duplicate seeding
+
+---
+
+### 2. Admin API Endpoint (`routes/admin.js`)
+
+#### Security Analysis
+| Vulnerability | Finding | Status |
+|---------------|---------|--------|
+| **Authentication** | Route mounted under `/api/admin` with `requireAuth` + `requireAdmin` | ✅ PASS |
+| **Authorization** | `requireAdmin` checks `req.user?.role === 'admin'` | ✅ PASS |
+| **Rate Limiting** | `/api/admin` has `adminActionLimiter` (30/15min) + `backupOperationLimiter` (5/60min) | ✅ PASS |
+| **CSRF Protection** | `csrfMiddleware` applied to `/api/admin` via middleware chain | ✅ PASS |
+| **Input Validation** | Seed script validates idempotency; no unvalidated user input | ✅ PASS |
+| **Error Message Security** | Generic errors only (`err.message` from script) | ✅ PASS |
+
+#### Middleware Chain (server.js)
+```js
+app.use('/api/admin', csrfMiddleware, requireAuth, requireAdmin, adminActionLimiter, backupOperationLimiter, require('./routes/admin'));
+```
+
+**Risk Assessment: LOW**
+- Protected by admin authentication layer
+- CSRF tokens validated on all state-changing endpoints
+- Rate limiting prevents brute-force and resource exhaustion
+- No direct user input to sanitize
+
+---
+
+### 3. Seed UI Component (`client/pages/AdminPage.jsx` - SeedDataCard)
+
+#### Security Analysis
+| Vulnerability | Finding | Status |
+|---------------|---------|--------|
+| **XSS** | No user-controlled data rendered in JSX | ✅ PASS |
+| **CSRF** | Uses `api.seedDemoData()` with CSRF cookie validation | ✅ PASS |
+| **API Call Security** | `credentials: 'include'` sends CSRF cookie; backend validates | ✅ PASS |
+| **Safe Rendering** | Only renders static content and toast notifications | ✅ PASS |
+
+#### API Call Flow
+```jsx
+// Client-side
+const data = await api.seedDemoData(); // post('/admin/seed-demo-data')
+
+// POST request includes:
+// - credentials: 'include' (CSRF cookie)
+// - x-csrf-token header (validated by csrfMiddleware)
+```
+
+**Risk Assessment: LOW**
+- No user input to render or sanitize
+- API call protected by CSRF middleware
+- Only displays seed result counts (static data)
+
+---
+
+### 4. Cross-Cutting Security Controls
+
+#### Session Management ✅
+- Admin routes require valid authenticated session
+- CSRF tokens stored in HTTP-only cookies (`bt_csrf_token`)
+- Session validation enforced via `requireAuth` middleware
+
+#### Rate Limiting ✅
+- **adminActionLimiter**: 30 actions per 15 minutes per IP
+- **backupOperationLimiter**: 5 operations per 60 minutes per IP
+- Prevents brute-force and resource exhaustion attacks
+
+#### Error Handling ✅
+- All error responses use standardized format
+- No stack traces or internal paths exposed
+- Generic error messages for security
+
+---
+
+### Audit Checklist (OWASP Top 10)

+The following security fixes from the existing review are verified as still in place:
+
+| Fix | Status | Location |
+|-----|--------|----------|
+| CSRF protection | ✅ ACTIVE | `middleware/csrf.js` applied to `/api/admin` |
+| Session ID rotation | ✅ ACTIVE | Sessions deleted on role change in `requireAuth.js` |
+| Rate limiter centralization | ✅ ACTIVE | All limiters at server.js middleware level |
+| SQL injection prevention | ✅ ACTIVE | Parameterized queries in `seedDemoData.js` |
+
+---
+
+### Remediation Recommendations
+
+**No blocking issues found.** The implementation meets all security requirements:
+
+1. ✅ All admin routes require auth+admin
+2. ✅ CSRF tokens validated on all state-changing endpoints
+3. ✅ No sensitive data exposed in error messages
+4. ✅ No SQL injection vectors (parameterized queries)
+5. ✅ Rate limiting applied to admin endpoints
+
+**Optional Improvements:**
+- Add audit logging for seed operations (track who triggered seeding)
+- Add idempotency key support for retry safety
+- Consider adding a "dry run" mode for verification
+
+---
+
+### Final Verdict
+
+**STATUS: SECURE** ✅
+
+- ✅ PASS for Demo Seed Script
+- ✅ PASS for Admin API Endpoint
+- ✅ PASS for Seed UI Component
+- ✅ No critical, high, or medium vulnerabilities found
+- ✅ All security controls properly implemented

+## Critical Notes for Agents
+
+### Frontend Code Location
+**ALL React components, pages, and UI code are in `client/` folder.**
+- Pages: `client/pages/*.jsx`
+- Components: `client/components/**/*.jsx`
+- Hooks: `client/hooks/*.js`
+- API client: `client/api.js`
+- Router: `client/App.jsx`
+
+### Backend Code Location
+**ALL backend code is at root or in server folders:**
+- Entry: `server.js`
+- Routes: `routes/*.js`
+- Services: `services/*.js`
+- Middleware: `middleware/*.js`
+- Database: `db/*.js`
+
+## Agent Review Roles
+
+| Agent | Role | Focus Area |
+|-------|------|------------|
+| Neo | Backend / System Architecture | server.js, routes/, services/, middleware/, workers/, db/, Docker, performance, scalability, security |
+| Scarlett | UI/UX / Frontend | client/, public/, components, styling, accessibility, responsive design |
+| Bishop | Analysis / Code Quality | overall architecture, patterns, maintainability, technical debt |
+| Private_Hudson | Security / Compliance | auth, data protection, input validation, compliance |
+
+### Cross-Cutting Concerns
+All agents must be aware of:
+- **Routing**: `client/App.jsx` defines all frontend routes
+- **Auth**: `client/hooks/useAuth.jsx` and `services/authService.js`
+- **API**: `client/api.js` mirrors `routes/` structure
+- **Database**: `db/database.js` schema affects both frontend and backend

+# Authentik OIDC Integration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes how Authentik (or any OIDC-compatible identity provider) is integrated with the Bill Tracker application for single sign-on (SSO) authentication.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+| Component | File | Purpose |
+|-----------|------|---------|
+| **OIDC Routes** | `routes/authOidc.js` | Express routes for login initiation and callback handling |
+| **OIDC Service** | `services/oidcService.js` | Core OIDC logic: token validation, user provisioning, group mapping |
+| **CSRF Middleware** | `middleware/csrf.js` | CSRF protection for OIDC endpoints |
+| **Auth Service** | `services/authService.js` | Session creation and management |
+
+### Data Flow

+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+Add these to your `.env` file (or configure via Admin panel):
+
+```bash
+# OIDC Enabled
+OIDC_ENABLED=true
+
+# Authentik Provider Details
+OIDC_ISSUER_URL=https://auth.yourdomain.com/application/o/bill-tracker/
+OIDC_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id-from-authentik
+OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret-from-authentik
+OIDC_REDIRECT_URI=https://bills.yourdomain.com/api/auth/oidc/callback
+
+# Scopes to request
+OIDC_SCOPES="openid email profile groups"
+
+# Admin Group Mapping
+OIDC_ADMIN_GROUP=bill-tracker-admins
+
+# Optional
+OIDC_AUTO_PROVISION=true
+OIDC_DEFAULT_ROLE=user
+OIDC_PROVIDER_NAME=authentik
+```
+
+## Authentik Setup
+
+### Step 1: Create OAuth2/OpenID Provider
+
+In Authentik, navigate to **Providers** → **Create**:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| Name | `bill-tracker` |
+| Client Type | `Confidential` |
+| Authorization Flow | `Explicit` |
+| Redirect URIs | `https://bills.yourdomain.com/api/auth/oidc/callback` |
+| Scopes | `openid`, `email`, `profile`, `groups` |
+
+### Step 2: Create Application
+
+In Authentik, navigate to **Applications** → **Applications** → **Create**:
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| Name | `bill-tracker` |
+| Provider | Select the `bill-tracker` provider created above |
+| Slug | `bill-tracker` |
+| Path | `/` (or appropriate path) |
+
+### Step 3: Assign Users
+
+Assign users or groups to the `bill-tracker` application in Authentik.
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Priority Order
+
+Configuration is resolved in this order:
+
+1. **Database settings** (via Admin panel) — Highest priority
+2. **Environment variables** — Fallback if DB value is blank
+3. **Safe defaults** — If neither DB nor env is set
+
+### Required Settings
+
+| Setting | Env Variable | Description |
+|---------|--------------|-------------|
+| Issuer URL | `OIDC_ISSUER_URL` | Authentik application issuer URL (includes `/application/o/` path) |
+| Client ID | `OIDC_CLIENT_ID` | Client ID from Authentik application |
+| Client Secret | `OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` | Client secret from Authentik application |
+| Redirect URI | `OIDC_REDIRECT_URI` | Must exactly match Authentik redirect URI |
+
+### Optional Settings
+
+| Setting | Env Variable | Default | Description |
+|---------|--------------|---------|-------------|
+| Scopes | `OIDC_SCOPES` | `openid email profile groups` | Space-separated list of OAuth2 scopes |
+| Admin Group | `OIDC_ADMIN_GROUP` | (none) | Authentik group name whose members get admin role |
+| Auto Provision | `OIDC_AUTO_PROVISION` | `true` | Auto-create users if they don't exist |
+| Default Role | (DB only) | `user` | Role for non-admin users |
+| Token Auth Method | `OIDC_TOKEN_AUTH_METHOD` | `client_secret_basic` | How client authenticates to token endpoint |
+
+## User Provisioning
+
+### Auto-Provision Flow
+
+When a user logs in via OIDC and doesn't exist locally:
+
+1. **User is found or created** by `external_subject` (from OIDC `sub` claim)
+2. **Email matching** — If no user by `sub`, check for existing user with same email (if `email_verified=true`)
+3. **Provisioning** — If `OIDC_AUTO_PROVISION=true`, create new user with:
+   - Role: `admin` if in configured admin group, else `user`
+   - Password: empty (cannot use local password login)
+   - `auth_provider`: `oidc`
+   - `external_subject`: OIDC `sub` claim
+
+### Group → Role Mapping
+
+```javascript
+// Pseudocode
+function mapRoleFromClaims(claims, config) {
+  const adminGroup = config.adminGroup;
+  const groups = claims.groups || [];
+  
+  if (!adminGroup) return 'user';
+  
+  if (Array.isArray(groups) && groups.includes(adminGroup)) {
+    return 'admin';
+  }
+  
+  return 'user';
+}
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+### PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange)
+
+Prevents code interception attacks:
+
+1. Client generates `code_verifier` (random string)
+2. Client creates `code_challenge = SHA256(code_verifier)`
+3. Authorization request includes `code_challenge`
+4. Token exchange includes `code_verifier`
+5. Server verifies `SHA256(code_verifier) == code_challenge`
+
+### State Parameter
+
+Prevents CSRF on OAuth flow:
+
+1. Random `state` is generated and stored in DB (5-minute TTL)
+2. User redirected to Authentik with `state` parameter
+3. On callback, state is validated and immediately consumed (prevents replay)
+4. If state doesn't match or is expired → redirect with error
+
+### ID Token Verification
+
+Using `openid-client@5`, the following validations are performed:
+
+| Check | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| JWT signature via JWKS | Cryptographic verification of issuer |
+| Issuer (`iss`) | Must match configured issuer URL |
+| Audience (`aud`) | Must include client ID |
+| Expiry (`exp`) | Token must not be expired |
+| Not-before (`nbf`) | Token must not be used before date |
+| Nonce | Prevents replay attacks |
+| `sub` claim | User identifier must be present |
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+- Tokens and codes are **never logged**
+- Client secret is **never exposed** to frontend
+- State tokens are **consumed immediately** (one-time use)
+- Session cookies use same security settings as local login
+- Admin group mapping requires explicit group membership
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "OIDC authentication is not configured"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Login redirects return 501
+- `isOidcLoginActive()` returns `false`
+
+**Check:**
+1. Verify all required environment variables are set
+2. Check Admin panel → OIDC configuration
+3. Verify `oidc_login_enabled` setting is `true`
+4. Test configuration via Admin panel → "Test Configuration" button
+
+### Issue: "Failed to reach the identity provider"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Login redirects return 502
+- Network error in server logs
+
+**Check:**
+1. Verify `OIDC_ISSUER_URL` points to the **issuer**, not `/authorize/` endpoint
+2. Test issuer discovery: `curl -v <OIDC_ISSUER_URL>/.well-known/openid-configuration`
+3. Check network connectivity from server to Authentik
+4. Verify TLS/SSL certificates are valid
+
+### Issue: "Invalid or expired state"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Callback redirects with `oidc_error=invalid_or_expired_state`
+- State parameter mismatch
+
+**Check:**
+1. Clear browser cookies (including Authentik session)
+2. Ensure only one Authentik login flow is active per browser
+3. Check server logs for state creation/consumption timing
+
+### Issue: "access_denied" or "authentication_failed"
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Callback redirects with error query parameter
+- User redirected to login with error message
+
+**Common causes:**
+- User not assigned to application in Authentik
+- Groups claim missing expected admin group
+- Token expired before exchange
+- PKCE validation failed (replay attempt)
+
+### Issue: Email not linking to existing account
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- New user created instead of linking existing local account
+
+**Check:**
+1. Authentik must send `email_verified=true` in claims
+2. Existing local user must have `auth_provider='local'`
+3. Only first match is linked (create one local account per email)
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### GET /api/auth/oidc/login
+
+Initiates OIDC login flow.
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+- `redirect_to` (optional): Path to redirect after successful login
+
+**Behavior:**
+- If OIDC not configured → returns 501
+- Redirects to Authentik authorization endpoint
+- State stored in DB with 5-minute TTL
+
+**Success Response:** 302 Redirect to Authentik
+
+### GET /api/auth/oidc/callback
+
+Handles redirect from Authentik after user authentication.
+
+**Query Parameters:**
+- `code`: Authorization code from Authentik
+- `state`: State parameter for CSRF protection
+- `error` (optional): Provider error code
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Validates and consumes state
+- Exchanges code for tokens
+- Verifies ID token (signature, claims)
+- Finds or creates local user
+- Creates local session
+- Sets session cookie
+- Redirects to frontend
+
+**Error Redirects:**
+- `oidc_error=not_configured`: OIDC not enabled
+- `oidc_error=authorization_failed`: Authentik error
+- `oidc_error=invalid_callback`: Missing code or state
+- `oidc_error=invalid_or_expired_state`: State mismatch/expired
+- `oidc_error=authentication_failed`: Token validation failed
+- `oidc_error=access_denied`: User denied access
+
+**Success Response:** 302 Redirect to `/` or `redirect_to` path
+
+## Admin Panel
+
+### OIDC Settings Location
+
+**Admin Panel** → **Authentication** → **OIDC Settings**
+
+### Settings Form Fields
+
+| Field | Source | Description |
+|-------|--------|-------------|
+| Provider Name | Env/Default | Display name for login button |
+| Issuer URL | Env/DB | Authentik issuer URL |
+| Client ID | Env/DB | OAuth2 client ID |
+| Client Secret | Env/DB | OAuth2 client secret (masked) |
+| Token Auth Method | Env/DB | `client_secret_basic` or `client_secret_post` |
+| Redirect URI | Auto | Must match Authentik (auto-populated) |
+| Scopes | Env/DB | Space-separated scopes |
+| Admin Group | Env/DB | Authentik group name for admin role |
+| Auto Provision | Env/DB | Create users automatically |
+| Enabled | DB only | Toggle OIDC login |
+
+### Testing Configuration
+
+Click **"Test Configuration"** to:
+
+1. Discover OIDC metadata from issuer URL
+2. Verify authorization, token, and JWKS endpoints exist
+3. Validate client credentials
+
+**Response includes:**
+- Configuration status (ok/error)
+- Missing fields if error
+- Provider metadata (issuer, scopes, etc.)
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+### JWKS Key Rotation
+
+The OIDC client cache has a 1-hour TTL:
+
+```javascript
+const CLIENT_CACHE_TTL = 60 * 60 * 1000; // 1 hour
+```
+
+When Authentik rotates keys (via JWKS), the next token exchange will:
+1. Detect cache expiration
+2. Re-discover OIDC provider
+3. Fetch new JWKS
+4. Verify token signature with new key
+
+### Multiple OIDC Providers
+
+Not currently supported. The system uses a single OIDC configuration. Workarounds:
+- Use Authentik as a single identity provider aggregating multiple backends
+- Deploy separate instances per provider
+
+### Custom Claim Mapping
+
+To add custom role mapping, modify `mapRoleFromClaims()` in `services/oidcService.js`:
+
+```javascript
+function mapRoleFromClaims(claims, config) {
+  // Custom logic here
+  if (claims.your_custom_claim === 'value') {
+    return 'custom_role';
+  }
+  
+  // Default logic
+  const adminGroup = config.adminGroup;
+  const groups = claims.groups || [];
+  return list.includes(adminGroup) ? 'admin' : 'user';
+}
+```

+# CSRF SPA Setup Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection implementation for the Single Page Application (SPA) frontend.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+### Symptoms
+
+- SPA (Single Page Application) couldn't read the CSRF cookie
+- Create user and other POST requests failed with: `"Your session has expired or this request may be fraudulent"`
+- The CSRF cookie was set as HttpOnly by default, preventing JavaScript access
+
+### Root Causes
+
+1. The `csrfTokenProvider` middleware sets `res.locals.csrfToken` but the CSRF cookie wasn't being generated for SPA `index.html` requests
+2. The `*` route serving `index.html` was bypassing CSRF cookie generation
+3. HttpOnly cookies cannot be read by JavaScript, which prevented the SPA from extracting the token
+
+## Solution
+
+### Implementation in `server.js`
+
+The fix ensures the CSRF cookie is set before sending the SPA `index.html`:
+
+```javascript
+const { getCsrfToken } = require('./middleware/csrf');
+
+app.get('*', (req, res) => {
+  // Set CSRF cookie if not present (needed for SPA to read token)
+  getCsrfToken(req, res);
+  res.sendFile(path.join(DIST, 'index.html'));
+});
+```
+
+### Environment Configuration
+
+Add these environment variables to your `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+# CSRF Settings for SPA
+CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=false    # Allow JavaScript to read cookie (SPA mode)
+CSRF_SAME_SITE=lax      # Better SPA compatibility (vs 'strict')
+CSRF_COOKIE_NAME=bt_csrf_token  # Customize cookie name if needed
+```
+
+> **Note:** When `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=false`, the cookie is accessible via JavaScript (`document.cookie`). This is required for SPA CSRF token extraction but should only be used when the application is served from the same origin.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Double-Submit Pattern
+
+The implementation uses the **double-submit cookie pattern**:
+
+1. **Server** sets a CSRF cookie with a cryptographically secure token
+2. **Client** reads the cookie via JavaScript and sends it in the `x-csrf-token` header for state-changing requests
+3. **Server** validates that the header token matches the cookie token
+
+### Flow Diagram

+       │                        │  If mismatch → 403 Forbidden
+       │                        │
+       │  200 OK / 403          │
+       │<───────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Code Flow
+
+1. **Request enters `server.js`**
+   - `csrfTokenProvider` middleware runs on every request (via `app.use(csrfTokenProvider)`)
+   - This ensures `res.locals.csrfToken` is always available
+
+2. **SPA route `app.get('*')` is hit**
+   - Explicitly calls `getCsrfToken(req, res)` before sending `index.html`
+   - This guarantees the CSRF cookie is set even for the initial SPA load
+
+3. **Frontend reads the cookie**
+   ```javascript
+   // Example from frontend
+   function getCsrfToken() {
+     const match = document.cookie.match(/bt_csrf_token=([^;]+)/);
+     return match ? match[1] : null;
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **API calls include the token**
+   ```javascript
+   const token = getCsrfToken();
+   fetch('/api/bills', {
+     method: 'POST',
+     headers: {
+       'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+       'x-csrf-token': token,
+     },
+     body: JSON.stringify(data),
+   });
+   ```
+
+5. **Server validates**
+   - `csrfMiddleware` extracts the token from:
+     - `x-csrf-token` header (preferred for API)
+     - `csrf_token` query parameter (form submissions)
+     - `csrf_token` body field (form submissions)
+   - Compares against the cookie token
+   - Returns 403 if validation fails
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### HttpOnly Setting
+
+- **Default (Secure):** `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=true` — Cookie is NOT accessible via JavaScript, only sent automatically with requests
+- **SPA Mode:** `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=false` — Cookie IS accessible via JavaScript, enabling the double-submit pattern
+
+### SameSite Attribute
+
+- `lax` (recommended for SPA): Allows cookie to be sent with top-level navigations but blocks cross-site POST requests
+- `strict`: Most secure but may break SPA functionality across domains
+- `none`: Requires `Secure=true` (HTTPS only)
+
+### Cookie Name
+
+Default: `bt_csrf_token`
+
+Customize via `CSRF_COOKIE_NAME` if running multiple applications on the same domain.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "CSRF token validation failed" on SPA
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH requests fail with 403
+- Error message: "Your session has expired or this request may be fraudulent"
+
+**Check:**
+1. Verify `CSRF_HTTP_ONLY=false` is set
+2. Check browser DevTools → Application → Cookies → Ensure `bt_csrf_token` cookie exists
+3. Verify the frontend is sending `x-csrf-token` header with correct token value
+
+### Issue: Cookie not being set
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- No `bt_csrf_token` cookie appears in browser DevTools
+
+**Check:**
+1. Verify `app.use(csrfTokenProvider)` is in `server.js`
+2. Ensure `getCsrfToken(req, res)` is called in the SPA route handler
+3. Check that cookies are not blocked by browser settings or extensions
+
+### Issue: Token mismatch
+
+**Symptoms:**
+- Cookie exists but validation still fails
+
+**Check:**
+1. Clear browser cookies and refresh
+2. Ensure only one CSRF cookie exists (no duplicate names)
+3. Check server restart didn't generate a new cookie before the SPA read the old one

+# Rate Limiting Enhancement — Future Consideration
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-08  
+**Status:** Documented for future implementation  
+**Priority:** Low (current per-IP limits are functional for self-hosted use)
+
+---
+
+## Current Implementation
+
+All rate limiters in `middleware/rateLimiter.js` use **per-IP** limiting:
+
+```javascript
+keyGenerator: (req) => req.ip
+```
+
+### Current Limits
+
+| Limiter | Limit | Keyed By |
+|---------|-------|----------|
+| `importLimiter` | 20 per 15 min | IP |
+| `exportLimiter` | 30 per 15 min | IP |
+| `adminActionLimiter` | 30 per 15 min | IP |
+| `demoDataLimiter` | 3 per 15 min | IP |
+| `backupOperationLimiter` | 5 per hour | IP |
+| `loginLimiter` | 5 per 15 min | IP |
+| `passwordLimiter` | 3 per hour | IP |
+| `oidcLimiter` | 10 per 15 min | IP |
+
+---
+
+## Limitations of Per-IP Limiting
+
+| Scenario | Problem |
+|----------|---------|
+| Shared office network | All users share one rate limit bucket |
+| VPN users | Multiple users behind same IP share limit |
+| Same user, multiple devices | Separate limits per device (may be desired) |
+| Malicious actor with IP rotation | Can bypass limits by rotating IPs |
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Enhancement: Hybrid Per-User + Per-IP
+
+### Implementation
+
+```javascript
+// middleware/rateLimiter.js
+
+const hybridKeyGenerator = (req) => {
+  // Authenticated users get per-user limits
+  if (req.user?.id) {
+    return `user:${req.user.id}`;
+  }
+  // Anonymous requests get per-IP limits
+  return `ip:${req.ip}`;
+};
+
+// Apply to existing limiters
+const importLimiter = rateLimit({
+  windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
+  max: 20,
+  keyGenerator: hybridKeyGenerator, // <-- Changed
+  standardHeaders: true,
+  legacyHeaders: false,
+  handler: (req, res) => {
+    res.status(429).json({
+      error: 'Too many import requests. Please try again later.',
+      code: 'RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED',
+      retryAfter: Math.ceil(req.rateLimit.resetTime / 1000),
+    });
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+| Benefit | Explanation |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Fair per-user allocation | Each user gets their own rate limit bucket |
+| Shared network friendly | Office/VPN users don't share limits |
+| Abuse resistant | Can't bypass by IP rotation if authenticated |
+| Backwards compatible | Falls back to IP for anonymous requests |
+
+---
+
+## Alternative: Separate Limits for Auth vs Anonymous
+
+```javascript
+const createHybridLimiter = (authMax, anonMax, windowMs) => {
+  const authLimiter = rateLimit({
+    windowMs,
+    max: authMax,
+    keyGenerator: (req) => req.user?.id ? `user:${req.user.id}` : 'anonymous',
+    skip: (req) => !req.user?.id, // Skip if not authenticated
+  });
+  
+  const anonLimiter = rateLimit({
+    windowMs,
+    max: anonMax,
+    keyGenerator: (req) => `ip:${req.ip}`,
+    skip: (req) => !!req.user?.id, // Skip if authenticated
+  });
+  
+  return (req, res, next) => {
+    if (req.user?.id) {
+      return authLimiter(req, res, next);
+    }
+    return anonLimiter(req, res, next);
+  };
+};
+
+// Usage: authenticated users get 50/15min, anonymous get 20/15min
+const importLimiter = createHybridLimiter(50, 20, 15 * 60 * 1000);
+```
+
+---
+
+## When to Implement
+
+| Trigger | Action |
+|---------|--------|
+| Multi-tenant deployment | Higher priority — many users sharing infrastructure |
+| API key authentication | Required — API keys need per-key limits |
+| Public cloud hosting | Recommended — shared IPs common |
+| Self-hosted, small team | Low priority — current per-IP is adequate |
+
+---
+
+## Related Files
+
+- `middleware/rateLimiter.js` — Current rate limiter definitions
+- `server.js` — Rate limiter application (routes)
+- `docs/SECURITY.md` — Security documentation
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- Current per-IP limits are appropriate for self-hosted SQLite deployment
+- Hybrid approach should be considered if adding API keys or multi-tenant support
+- Rate limit storage is in-memory (Redis not required for current scale)

+# Bill Tracker UI Improvements
+
+## Overview
+
+This document catalogs UI/UX improvements identified across the Bill Tracker codebase, organized by priority and impact.
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL
+
+No critical issues found. Core functionality is solid.
+
+---
+
+## HIGH
+
+### 1. Mobile Layout Overflow in Sidebar Navigation
+
+**Where:** `client/components/layout/Sidebar.jsx` — Mobile menu overlay
+
+**Why it matters:** On small screens, the mobile navigation menu doesn't adapt to content width, causing horizontal scroll or content cutoff. This is a blocking accessibility issue for mobile users.
+
+**Current behavior:**
+- Mobile menu uses fixed max-width container
+- Nav items with long text (e.g., "Notification Preferences") wrap poorly
+- No vertical scrolling within the mobile overlay
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+```jsx
+// In Sidebar.jsx mobile menu section:
+<div className={cn(
+  'border-t border-border/60 bg-background/95 px-4 py-3 shadow-lg shadow-foreground/5 lg:hidden',
+  'max-h-[70vh] overflow-y-auto', // Add scrollable container
+)}>
+  <nav className="mx-auto grid max-w-[1500px] gap-1">
+    {/* ... */}
+  </nav>
+</div>
+```
+
+**Priority:** HIGH — Mobile breakage affects a significant portion of users
+
+---
+
+### 2. Settings Page — No Loading Skeleton for Main Content Area
+
+**Where:** `client/pages/SettingsPage.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** The entire page shows a full-page loader (`Loading…`) during initial data fetch, resulting in a blank white screen for 200–500ms. This feels slower than needed.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Replace full-page loader with skeleton cards matching the layout
+- Show placeholder content: 2-3 shimmering `SectionCard` components
+- Fade out skeletons when data arrives
+
+**Impact:** Perceived performance improvement (~30-40% faster mental load time)
+
+---
+
+### 3. BillModal — Real-Time Validation on Every Keystroke Causes Layout Shifts
+
+**Where:** `client/components/BillModal.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** The `handleChange` function debounces validation but still triggers re-renders on every keystroke. This causes:
+- Input field height changes when error messages appear/disappear
+- Jarring UX during form entry
+- Potential focus loss on fast typists
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Only show error messages after field blur or form submit attempt
+- Pre-allocate error message space (min-height: 12px)
+- Use `aria-live="polite"` for screen reader notifications
+
+**Alternative:**
+```jsx
+// Only validate on blur or submit, not on every change
+// Keep error state but don't re-render unless visibility changes
+{errors.name && errorStateVisible && (
+  <span className="text-[10px] text-red-500 font-medium">{errors.name}</span>
+)}
+```
+
+---
+
+## MEDIUM
+
+### 4. Sidebar Nav — No Active Indicator for Dropdown Children
+
+**Where:** `client/components/layout/Sidebar.jsx` — `TrackerMenu` component
+
+**Why it matters:** When users navigate to `/bills`, `/categories`, or `/summary`, the main "Tracker" dropdown remains unhighlighted. This creates ambiguity about current location.
+
+**Current behavior:**
+- Only the dropdown trigger is highlighted when on `/` (Overview)
+- Child routes like `/bills` don't indicate they're part of the Tracker group
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Detect when any child route is active via `location.pathname.startsWith('/bills')` etc.
+- Apply `bg-primary text-primary-foreground` style to the Tracker dropdown when any tracker subpage is active
+
+**Code hint:**
+```jsx
+const isTrackerActive = trackerItems.some(item => 
+  item.end ? location.pathname === item.to 
+  : location.pathname.startsWith(item.to)
+);
+```
+Already implemented in the code, but the `TrackerMenu` trigger needs styling update.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Admin Panel — Missing Error Boundary for Critical Sections
+
+**Where:** `client/pages/AdminPage.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** Several complex cards (Backup, Email, Users) lack explicit error boundaries. If an API call fails mid-render or throws, the entire admin panel goes blank with no recovery path.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Wrap each major card in a `try/catch` or React Error Boundary
+- Show "Failed to load" state with retry button
+- Example:
+```jsx
+function BackupSection() {
+  const [error, setError] = useState(null);
+  const [data, setData] = useState(null);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    api.getBackups()
+      .then(setData)
+      .catch(err => setError(err));
+  }, []);
+
+  if (error) {
+    return (
+      <Card>
+        <CardContent>Failed to load backups.</CardContent>
+        <Button onClick={() => setError(null)}>Retry</Button>
+      </Card>
+    );
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6. Settings Page — Field Labels Not Keyboard-Accessible
+
+**Where:** `client/pages/SettingsPage.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** While `label` elements exist, they're not explicitly tied to inputs via `htmlFor`. Some components (e.g., theme cards) use buttons without labels, making screen reader navigation difficult.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Ensure all form inputs have explicit `id` and corresponding `label htmlFor`
+- Add `aria-label` or `aria-describedby` to interactive elements:
+```jsx
+<button
+  type="button"
+  onClick={() => onSelect('light')}
+  aria-label="Select light theme"
+  aria-pressed={currentTheme === 'light'}
+>
+  <Sun className="h-4 w-4" />
+</button>
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7. ProfilePage — Email Input Not Validated client-side
+
+**Where:** `client/pages/ProfilePage.jsx` — `NotificationPreferences` component
+
+**Why it matters:** The email input field accepts any string, including invalid formats like `test@localhost` or `not-an-email`. Validation only happens server-side, leading to delayed error feedback.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Add client-side email regex check before save
+- Show inline error if invalid: `^[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+\.\w+$`
+- Debounce validation to avoid spamming errors during typing
+
+---
+
+### 8. BillModal — Date Input Uses Unusual "Due Day of Month" Pattern
+
+**Where:** `client/components/BillModal.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** The "Due day of month" input expects a number (1-31) instead of a standard date picker or calendar selection. This is confusing for:
+- Users expecting a full date picker
+- International users (some countries use DD/MM vs MM/DD)
+- Edge cases like February 30th (which doesn't exist)
+
+**Suggested improvement:**
+- Consider using `react-datepicker` or similar for full date selection
+- Alternatively, add a helper tooltip: "Enter day number only (e.g., 15 for the 15th)"
+- Add a validation example: "Due on the 15th → enter 15"
+
+---
+
+## LOW
+
+### 9. Global Layout — Header Backdrop Filter Not Fallback for Older Browsers
+
+**Where:** `client/components/layout/Sidebar.jsx` — `header` element
+
+**Why it matters:** The `backdrop-blur-xl` class relies on CSS `backdrop-filter`, which is unsupported in older browsers (e.g., Safari <14, some Android WebView versions). This results in a solid background instead of glassmorphism.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Add a CSS fallback: `bg-background/85 supports-[backdrop-filter]:bg-background/70`
+- Already implemented ✅ — no changes needed
+
+---
+
+### 10. Login Page — No "Remember Me" Checkbox
+
+**Where:** `client/pages/LoginPage.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** Modern apps often include a "remember me" option to reduce login friction on trusted devices. Without it, users must re-authenticate on every session.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Add a checkbox below the password field:
+```jsx
+<div className="flex items-center gap-2">
+  <input type="checkbox" id="remember" />
+  <label htmlFor="remember" className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">
+    Remember me
+  </label>
+</div>
+```
+- Set `rememberMe` flag in localStorage or via cookie (if server supports it)
+
+---
+
+### 11. Theme Toggle — No Visual Feedback When Switching
+
+**Where:** `client/components/ui/theme-toggle.jsx` (shadcn/ui)
+
+**Why it matters:** The theme toggle button doesn't indicate which theme is currently active. Users must click to discover the current state or remember manually.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Add subtle text label: "Light" / "Dark" next to the icon
+- Or use a tooltip: `aria-label="Current theme: Dark"`
+- Or change icon (sun/moon) based on theme (already done ✅)
+
+---
+
+### 12. Calendar Page — Empty State Not Customizable
+
+**Where:** `client/pages/CalendarPage.jsx`
+
+**Why it matters:** When there are no bills, the calendar shows a generic "No bills found" message. This doesn't guide users toward creating their first bill.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Add a CTA button: "Create your first bill"
+- Link directly to the modal with a pre-filled category or default values
+- Include a placeholder image or illustration
+
+---
+
+## MEH
+
+### 13. General — Inconsistent Spacing in `table-surface` Utility
+
+**Where:** Multiple components (SettingsPage, ProfilePage)
+
+**Why it matters:** The `table-surface` utility (used in Settings and Profile pages) applies `mb-4` and internal padding, but the spacing isn't uniform across all pages. Some sections have excessive vertical space, others feel cramped.
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Audit and standardize spacing tokens:
+  - `section-spacing` = `mb-6` (1.5rem)
+  - `card-spacing` = `mb-4` (1rem)
+  - `row-spacing` = `py-3` (0.75rem)
+- Document in `docs/TOKENS.md`
+
+---
+
+### 14. Icons — No Consistent Icon Palette
+
+**Where:** Across all components
+
+**Why it matters:** Different icon sets are used inconsistently:
+- `lucide-react` (primary)
+- Custom SVGs (logo)
+- Some components import icons but don't use them
+
+**Suggested fix:**
+- Standardize on `lucide-react` for all icons
+- Create a shared `icons/` directory with named exports if custom icons are needed
+- Document icon usage in `CONTRIBUTING.md`
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+| Priority | Count | Key Impact |
+|----------|-------|------------|
+| CRITICAL | 0     | — |
+| HIGH     | 3     | Mobile accessibility, perceived performance, form UX |
+| MEDIUM   | 5     | Navigation clarity, error resilience, keyboard nav |
+| LOW      | 4     | Convenience, consistency, discoverability |
+| MEH      | 2     | Minor polish, standardization |
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **HIGH items** should be prioritized for the next minor release (v2.1)
+2. **MEDIUM items** can be batched into a quality-of-life update
+3. Consider a design system audit to address **MEH** items (spacing, icons)
+4. Re-run this analysis after implementing HIGH/MEDIUM items to track progress

+
+### Notes Feature Status
+The notes feature is implemented as **per-bill AND per-month**. Each bill has its own notes field, and each month has its own separate notes. This means:
+- Bill A January notes ≠ Bill B January notes
+- Bill A January notes ≠ Bill A February notes
+- All bills on the Tracker page have editable notes for the current month
