Token was not being attached to requests on VM deployments because
the IP address wasn't in the hardcoded allowedHosts list.
Now dynamically adds the host from RuntimeConfigService.apiBaseUrl
to the allowed list, fixing 401 errors on remote deployments.
Frontend:
- Add runtime configuration service for deployment-time API URL injection
- Create docker-entrypoint.sh to generate config.json from environment variables
- Update ApiService, ApprovalService, and DocumentViewer to use RuntimeConfigService
- Add APP_INITIALIZER to load runtime config before app starts
Backend:
- Fix init-blockchain.js to properly quote mnemonic phrases in .env file
- Improve docker-entrypoint.sh with health checks and better error handling
Docker:
- Add API_BASE_URL environment variable to frontend container
- Update docker-compose.yml with clear documentation for remote deployment
- Reorganize .env.example with clear categories (REQUIRED FOR REMOTE, PRODUCTION, AUTO-GENERATED)
Workflow fixes:
- Fix DepartmentApproval interface to match backend schema
- Fix stage transformation for 0-indexed stageOrder
- Fix workflow list to show correct stage count from definition.stages
Cleanup:
- Move development artifacts to .trash directory
- Remove root-level package.json (was only for utility scripts)
- Add .trash/ to .gitignore
Security Improvements:
- Add input sanitization utilities (XSS, SQL injection prevention)
- Add token validation with JWT structure verification
- Add secure form validators with pattern enforcement
- Implement proper token storage with encryption support
Service Hardening:
- Add timeout (30s) and retry logic (3 attempts) to all API calls
- Add UUID validation for all ID parameters
- Add null/undefined checks with defensive defaults
- Proper error propagation with typed error handling
Component Fixes:
- Fix memory leaks with takeUntilDestroyed pattern
- Remove mock data fallbacks in error handlers
- Add proper loading/error state management
- Add form field length limits and validation
