beabigegg 679b89ae4c feat: implement security, error resilience, and query optimization proposals
Security Validation (enhance-security-validation):
- JWT secret validation with entropy checking and pattern detection
- CSRF protection middleware with token generation/validation
- Frontend CSRF token auto-injection for DELETE/PUT/PATCH requests
- MIME type validation with magic bytes detection for file uploads

Error Resilience (add-error-resilience):
- React ErrorBoundary component with fallback UI and retry functionality
- ErrorBoundaryWithI18n wrapper for internationalization support
- Page-level and section-level error boundaries in App.tsx

Query Performance (optimize-query-performance):
- Query monitoring utility with threshold warnings
- N+1 query fixes using joinedload/selectinload
- Optimized project members, tasks, and subtasks endpoints

Bug Fixes:
- WebSocket session management (P0): Return primitives instead of ORM objects
- LIKE query injection (P1): Escape special characters in search queries

Tests: 543 backend tests, 56 frontend tests passing

Change: Enhance Security Validation

Why

QA review identified several security gaps that could be exploited:

  1. JWT secret keys lack entropy validation, allowing weak secrets
  2. File uploads only check extensions, not actual MIME types (content spoofing risk)
  3. Missing CSRF protection on sensitive state-changing operations

What Changes

  • user-auth: Add JWT secret key strength validation (minimum length, entropy check)
  • user-auth: Add CSRF token validation for sensitive operations
  • document-management: Add file MIME type validation using magic bytes detection

Impact

  • Affected specs: user-auth, document-management
  • Affected code:
    • backend/app/core/security.py - JWT validation
    • backend/app/api/v1/endpoints/ - CSRF middleware
    • backend/app/services/file_service.py - MIME validation
