Full security hardening sprint triggered by a mass spam registration attack. Covers rate limiting, Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA, mandatory email verification, HIBP password breach detection, MFA (TOTP + email OTP), session timeout, request logging with IP geolocation, device fingerprinting, and IP whitelisting for admins.

Email verification is now required before login. SHA-256 hashed tokens are stored in the database. A dedicated /verify-email page handles confirmation, with a resend endpoint (rate-limited to 3/hour). Unverified accounts receive a 403 on login attempts.

Two-factor authentication with TOTP (authenticator apps via RFC 6238) and email OTP fallback. Backup codes (SHA-256 hashed, single-use). Two-step login flow: first step returns a tempToken, second step verifies code and issues real JWT tokens. Admin accounts strongly encouraged to enable MFA.

FingerprintJS (open-source) collects a visitor ID on login and compares it against known devices. Unrecognized devices trigger a 'New device login' alert email and require MFA if enabled. Users can list and remove known devices.

Automatic session expiry after inactivity: 15 minutes for students, 30 minutes for staff. A 60-second warning modal appears before logout. Cross-tab sync via localStorage storage events.

82 tests passing across auth, user, and security integration suites using Supertest + MongoMemoryServer. Unit tests for rate-limiter and Turnstile middleware. Frontend component tests for roadmap and careers pages.

Add a lightweight API endpoint for the admin users page stat cards (Total Users, Active Users, Lecturers) instead of relying on the heavy dashboard/stats endpoint. Deferred pending redeployment verification.

Exam timetables restructured with program-scoped filtering and dynamic 'Next Exam' countdown that updates based on the selected timetable card.

Redesigned PDF exports with branded header, dynamic summary cards, professional footer. Fixed Ghana Cedis encoding. Subscription PDF shows only successful transactions.

Subscription page stat cards now show global totals from backend aggregation instead of paginated page data. Payment pagination fixed for 10+ records.

Added favicon, fixed SubscriptionProvider race condition, created Activity page, added performance chart to profile page.

Login no longer creates duplicate 'Complete Your Onboarding' reminders. Fixed incorrect field path and added a duplicate guard to prevent notification spam.

Quiz views now increment when the quiz detail page is viewed, not only when a session is started. Views and attempts are tracked separately.

Replaced hardcoded mock alerts with real system checks: expired subscriptions, failed payments, pending verifications, and unread notifications.

Admin dashboard and analytics pages now display Total Revenue, Yearly, Quarterly, and Monthly revenue cards powered by real payment data.

Replaced chart placeholders with real ApexCharts: User Growth (area), Content Engagement (stacked bar), and Revenue Over Time (area) with time range selector support.

Lecturers enrolled in the programme receive a unique referral link to bring students onto the platform. Commission tiers: 30% for monthly, 35% quarterly, 40% yearly. Incentivising annual plan referrals. Payout is annual, net of 10% withholding tax remitted to Ghana Revenue Authority per the Income Tax Act 2015 (Act 896). Platform generates WHT schedules, WHT certificates, and financial statements. Terms & conditions updated with revenue share agreement and full tax disclosure. Lecturers must publish content regularly to stay active (60-day warning, 90-day auto-deactivation).

Lecturers and admins create timed mock exams with multiple choice, open-ended, or hybrid question formats. AI marks open-ended answers objectively with grade and feedback. Auto-submits on timer expiry. Exams can be public or scoped to a specific course or program. A global leaderboard shows student rankings per exam. Exam creators get a full participant table with individual scores and attempt history.

Dedicated research workspace where students communicate with assigned supervisors on project topics, with AI-powered topic generation. Students upload research documentation or thesis chapters for AI validation, checking references, structure, and flow. Supervisors can provide remarks, assessments, notes, and chapter-by-chapter approval.

Dedicated page providing round-the-clock, AI-curated information on IT-related court cases worldwide. IP infringement, trademark disputes, cybersecurity cases, media harassment, and more. Each case includes verdict, status (ongoing/concluded), jurisdiction, and detailed analysis to help students understand and apply international computer law.

Dedicated page where administrators create learning material cards for each course students selected during onboarding. Each card links to external storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) where the actual materials are hosted, giving students easy semester-by-semester access to required readings and resources.

A page where students can browse and watch educational videos relevant to their courses and programs. Content curated and uploaded by administrators and lecturers.

New students automatically receive one month of full platform access upon completing registration and verifying their email address, no payment required. The trial subscription is created server-side at the point of email verification, giving every new user immediate access to quizzes, flashcards, past questions, learning materials, and videos. A clear banner communicates how many trial days remain and prompts conversion before expiry.

Sign in and sign up with Google or X (Twitter) accounts using OAuth 2.0. Currently the buttons exist in the UI but are placeholder-only with no functionality. OAuth tokens are exchanged for the platform's own JWT, keeping the existing auth architecture intact. Includes account linking for users who have both a password account and an OAuth provider, and handles the X edge case where email is not always returned.

Expand beyond tertiary to serve Senior High School, JHS, and Primary students across Ghana. Ghana has two curriculum systems: GES (national syllabus, public schools) and Cambridge (international and elite private schools). Students select their curriculum body on onboarding, all content, subjects, topics, and past papers are filtered to their syllabus. Cross-syllabus browsing is always available. GES content covers WASSCE and BECE past papers; Cambridge covers IGCSE and A-Level past papers. Dashboard personalised by tier, curriculum body, and level.
