Restore ignore for mode-specific local env files
Narrowing the ignore rules to .env, .env.local, and .env.production drops coverage that previously came from *.local, so files like .env.production.local / .env.development.local are now tracked by default. Those files are commonly used for machine-specific secrets, so this change creates a realistic path to accidentally committing API keys during normal local or release workflows.

Prevent copying local secrets into Docker image
The COPY . . step includes the entire build context in image layers, and this repo does not add a .dockerignore. In a normal developer or CI environment where .env/.env.* files exist locally (even if gitignored), those secrets are baked into the image and can be exposed when the image is shared or pushed to a registry. Limit copied files or add a .dockerignore that excludes env files and other local artifacts.

Use a production server instead of vite preview
The container entrypoint runs npm run preview, but Vite documents preview as a way to locally verify a production build rather than a hardened production runtime. Using it as the long-running server for deployment can lead to avoidable reliability/performance issues; switch the image runtime to a production-grade static server for the built dist output.

Bind API listener to environment-configured port
The server always listens on 4000, which ignores both API_PORT from apps/api/.env.example and the PORT value that platforms like Vercel/Render/Heroku inject at runtime. In those environments, health checks target the assigned port, so the service can boot but remain unreachable. Read from process.env.PORT (with a fallback) when calling listen.

Do not return password hash from register handler
This response serializes the full user object, which includes the bcrypt hash in password. Returning credential hashes to clients (and logs/proxies along the path) unnecessarily exposes material for offline cracking and is a security regression; return only non-sensitive fields (e.g., id/email/token) instead.

Add missing auth runtime dependencies
apps/api imports jsonwebtoken and bcryptjs in src/middleware/auth.js and src/routes/auth.js, but neither package is declared in this package's dependencies. In a clean install, importing these modules for auth wiring will fail with module resolution errors, blocking auth endpoints from starting.

Growth phase plan added for launch-to-scale execution:\n\n1. Add product analytics (page views, signup funnel, pricing CTA clicks).\n2. Add onboarding flow after signup.\n3. Add email capture / waitlist component on landing and pricing pages.\n4. Add SEO essentials: title, description, social preview, sitemap.\n5. Add Stripe checkout wiring for conversion tracking.\n6. Add admin dashboard metrics for users, signups, and paid conversions.\n\nCurrent repo status in this PR:\n- Frontend present\n- Backend API present\n- Auth present\n- Prisma database layer present\n- Pricing page present\n- Stripe placeholder present\n\nRemaining manual launch steps outside repo code:\n- Merge PR #31\n- Set production env vars\n- Deploy frontend and backend\n- Configure PostgreSQL and run Prisma migration\n- Connect real Stripe keys and price IDs\n\nAfter merge, next implementation branch can focus on analytics + onboarding + conversion tracking. |

Growth system execution plan for the current SaaS repo:\n\nPriority 1 — acquisition instrumentation\n- Add analytics provider (PostHog or GA4) to frontend shell\n- Track landing page views\n- Track pricing page views\n- Track CTA clicks on pricing buttons\n- Track signup starts and signup completes\n\nPriority 2 — conversion improvements\n- Replace placeholder pricing buttons with working routes to signup or checkout\n- Add onboarding steps after register\n- Add testimonial / social proof blocks on landing page\n- Add email capture form for users not ready to buy\n\nPriority 3 — retention loop\n- Add in-app empty-state guidance\n- Add email follow-up automation for unfinished signup\n- Add usage milestone prompts\n- Add referral prompt after first successful use\n\nPriority 4 — operator visibility\n- Add admin metrics page: visits, signups, login count, checkout attempts\n- Add backend event logging for auth and checkout endpoints\n\nSuggested next code branch after merge of this PR:\n- feat/growth-analytics-and-onboarding\n\nDefinition of success for first 7 days after launch:\n- 100 landing visits\n- 10 signup attempts\n- 3 completed accounts\n- 1 checkout attempt\n- 1 paid conversion\n\nThis PR already establishes the product base: frontend, backend, auth, Prisma, pricing page, and Stripe placeholder. The next implementation cycle should focus on analytics, onboarding, and conversion instrumentation rather than new infrastructure. |

Auto growth system blueprint for the next implementation cycle:\n\n1) Acquisition automation\n- Add waitlist / lead capture widget to landing and pricing pages\n- Persist captured emails in backend storage\n- Add referral code field during signup\n\n2) Activation automation\n- Add guided onboarding after account creation\n- Track first successful action in product\n- Trigger in-app prompt if user has not completed first action\n\n3) Retention automation\n- Add backend event log for signup, login, pricing view, checkout click\n- Trigger reminder workflow for incomplete signup or inactive users\n- Add simple milestone nudges after first successful use\n\n4) Monetization automation\n- Replace placeholder pricing CTA with working signup / checkout routing\n- Track checkout attempts and conversion outcome\n- Add plan selection state to frontend\n\n5) Referral / loop automation\n- Generate shareable referral code after signup\n- Reward invited user or inviter with temporary upgrade flag\n- Add share prompt after successful first result\n\n6) Operator dashboard\n- Add admin metrics route for visits, leads, signups, logins, checkout attempts, paid conversions\n- Show funnel drop-off by step\n\nRecommended next branch name:\nfeat/auto-growth-system\n\nSuccess criteria for first operating cycle:\n- Landing visits tracked\n- Email captures stored\n- Signup funnel tracked\n- Pricing CTA tracked\n- At least one referral path implemented\n\nThis should be implemented after merging PR #31 so growth automation builds on the current product base rather than parallel incomplete branches. |

Add required API vars to the env example
The new API template only includes Stripe keys, but this commit also introduces hard requirements for DATABASE_URL (Prisma datasource) and JWT_SECRET (token sign/verify). In a fresh environment configured from this file, auth/database paths fail at runtime because those variables are absent, which breaks the production bootstrap flow this change is meant to enable. Add the missing required keys (and the port variable used by the server) to this example file.

Handle Prisma failures inside async auth route
This await prisma.user.create(...) call is unguarded, so expected failures like duplicate email (User.email is unique) or transient DB errors reject the async handler. With Express 4 in this repo, rejected async route promises are not automatically forwarded, which can surface as unhandled rejections and may terminate the process under Node 20 defaults instead of returning a controlled HTTP error. Wrap this route in explicit error handling and map known Prisma errors to 4xx/5xx responses.

Deployment and first-100-users execution note:\n\n1. Merge this PR to main.\n2. Set production environment variables for frontend and API.\n3. Deploy frontend on Vercel and API on Railway/Render.\n4. Provision PostgreSQL and run Prisma migration.\n5. Connect real Stripe keys and price ID.\n6. Launch first-user funnel: landing -> pricing -> signup -> checkout.\n7. Track only five metrics for week 1: landing visits, pricing views, signup starts, signup completes, checkout attempts.\n\nImportant blockers still visible in this PR review and should be addressed before production traffic:\n- Harden Docker build context and runtime\n- Ensure API env example includes all required variables\n- Prevent returning password hash from register response\n- Ensure API binds to runtime-provided PORT\n\nAfter merge, the next branch should be dedicated to conversion instrumentation and onboarding, not infra expansion. |
