Security fix: Do not expose authentication tokens in URL query parameters. Change WebSocket handshake to pass credentials via a secure header or cookie instead of the URL. Ensure all console/error logging redacts tokens. Example: initialize WebSocket with a token in the Authorization header or via a Sec-WebSocket-Protocol or custom header, and remove any ‘token=…’ from the URL. Validate both client and server logs to ensure no tokens appear in logs, URLs, or error messages. Add automated checks to reject any WebSocket URLs containing query parameters named 'token' or containing long random strings that resemble tokens.

Action: In production, ensure only built assets are served. Replace dev-server hosting with a production build. Steps: a) Run npm run build to generate dist assets. b) Serve dist with a proper static host (e.g., Nginx/Apache) or a dedicated app server, not the Vite dev server. c) Remove or restrict any routes exposing /src, /node_modules, or other internal directories (add deny rules for /src and /node_modules in your web server). d) If debugging is required, restrict access to a private network and enable proper authentication. e) Add a Content Security Policy header and other security headers. f) Re-run a security scan to confirm internal files are not reachable publicly. Example Nginx snippet: location ^~ /src/ { deny all; } location ^~ /node_modules/ { deny all; }

In the frontend startup sequence, remove or defer LogRocket initialization until explicit user consent is obtained. Implement a consent banner/provider; wrap LogRocket.init(...) inside a block that only runs after consent is recorded (e.g., window.analyticsConsent === 'granted'). Ensure no PII is captured in events; scrub user identifiers; set a privacy flag to disable analytics in environments without consent; add/verify privacy policy mentions of data collection; add tests to ensure analytics do not fire without consent.
