The server had no authentication: every /api route was open, CORS allowed any origin, and the identity written to the audit log came from the request body — the UI sent a hardcoded pf_user: 'admin', which any client could have set to anything it liked. Accounts live in pf.app_user with scrypt hashes from node's own crypto, so there is no native build step and the parameters travel with each hash. Sessions are express-session over connect-pg-simple in pf.session: a restart no longer signs everyone out, and a session can be revoked by deleting its row, which is how disable-user cuts off access immediately rather than at cookie expiry. Everything under /api except login/logout/me now requires a session, and the React app is mounted only once there is one — its load effects call the API on mount, so a logged-out mount would just fire a burst of 401s. A session that expires while the app is open lands back on the login screen: auth.jsx wraps fetch once rather than teaching every call site to check. Identity is now read from the session for pf_user, created_by and closed_by, and the body values are ignored. Hardened for an internet-facing deployment: trust proxy so req.ip and secure-cookie detection are right behind TLS termination, httpOnly + SameSite=Lax + Secure cookies, ten login failures per IP per fifteen minutes, one error message for unknown, wrong and disabled alike, and a fresh session id on success. CORS is off entirely unless CORS_ORIGIN names an origin — a wildcard alongside a session cookie would be CSRF by construction. The server refuses to boot without SESSION_SECRET rather than falling back to a guessable default. pf.sh grows add-user, passwd, list-users, disable-user and enable-user; passwords are read on stdin and hashed before they reach psql, so no plaintext in argv or shell history. install.sh generates the secret, applies 02_auth.sql, and creates the first account.

React + Vite
This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.
Currently, two official plugins are available:
- @vitejs/plugin-react uses Oxc
- @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC
React Compiler
The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see this documentation.
Expanding the ESLint configuration
If you are developing a production application, we recommend using TypeScript with type-aware lint rules enabled. Check out the TS template for information on how to integrate TypeScript and typescript-eslint in your project.
