|---|---|
CI/CD Workflow Removals .github/workflows/claude-code-review.yml, .github/workflows/openai-code-review.yml |
Deleted GitHub Actions workflows for automated code review integration. |
Backend Infrastructure backend/src/db.ts, backend/src/index.ts |
Establishes SQLite database with better-sqlite3 (users and expenses tables), and configures Express app with CORS, JSON parsing, and route mounting at /api/auth, /api/expenses, /api/reports. |
Backend Authentication backend/src/middleware/auth.ts, backend/src/routes/auth.ts |
Implements JWT authentication middleware (with hardcoded secret noted) and authentication routes for user registration and login with bcrypt password hashing; includes noted security concerns (hardcoded key, SQL injection in login query). |
Backend Validation backend/src/utils/validate.ts |
Provides utility validators for email format, positive numbers, and category enumeration. |
Backend Expense Management backend/src/routes/expenses.ts |
Implements CRUD endpoints for expenses with authentication, budget limiting, pagination, and category filtering; includes noted bugs (race condition, SQL injection, IDOR, missing admin guards). |
Backend Reporting backend/src/routes/reports.ts |
Adds authenticated and admin-protected reporting endpoints for user summaries, team summaries, and CSV export; includes noted concerns (CSV injection, missing streaming/pagination). |
Frontend Infrastructure frontend/src/App.tsx, frontend/src/api/client.ts |
Configures React routing with token-based PrivateRoute protection and axios API client with Bearer token injection from localStorage. |
Frontend Components frontend/src/components/ExpenseCard.tsx, frontend/src/components/StatusBadge.tsx |
Introduces reusable ExpenseCard (with noted XSS risk via dangerouslySetInnerHTML) and StatusBadge components with color-coded status indicators. |
Frontend Pages frontend/src/pages/Dashboard.tsx, frontend/src/pages/ExpenseForm.tsx, frontend/src/pages/ExpenseList.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Login.tsx, frontend/src/pages/Reports.tsx |
Adds login page, dashboard with category-based summary and budget tracking, expense form, paginated expense list with filtering, and dual-view reports page; includes multiple noted accessibility and UX concerns. |

Poem
🐰 A full-stack tracker hops to life,
Expenses tamed, budgets cut with a knife,
Databases whisper, routes dance with grace,
Frontend and backend in an async embrace!
From login to reports, the journey's complete—
One hop, two hops, expenses so neat! 🐇✨
