+**Security note (v2.3.0+):**
+- Set `ADMIN_TOKEN` before any public deployment to lock down `/__admin/*` endpoints.
+- Set `ADMIN_PASSWORD` to a strong unique password — the default is intentionally not secret.
+- `ADMIN_EMAIL` controls which email the auto-created admin account uses and which email the verify check looks for.

 ### 2. service_role key is used for all community API calls
 **Why:** Community tables have RLS enabled. The service_role key bypasses all RLS without needing per-user auth headers on the server side.
 **How:** The `/__supa/*` proxy adds `Authorization: Bearer {SUPA_SERVICE_KEY}` and `apikey: {SUPA_SERVICE_KEY}` to every proxied request.

+**Warning (v2.3.0 updated):** The service_role key is also injected into the `App-pJGjDiPw.js` bundle (see `getPatchedAppBundle()`), meaning it is delivered to every browser. This is intentional for self-hosted/trusted-user deployments. Do NOT run this server for public multi-tenant apps with untrusted users.
 
 ### 3. Bundle patches are in-memory only
 **Why:** Modifying the built JS on disk would make the diff unreadable and break future updates.

 ### The service_role key
 This is never hardcoded. It must be provided via `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY` environment variable. It bypasses all RLS — treat it like a database root password.
 
+### Admin panel endpoints (v2.3.0+)
+`/__admin/*` routes are protected by an optional `ADMIN_TOKEN` env var. If set, all admin requests must include the token via `X-Admin-Token` header or `?token=` query param. Without the token configured the panel is open — acceptable for local/Replit dev but **lock it down before any public deployment**.
+
+### Admin password (v2.3.0+)
+The admin account password is read from `ADMIN_PASSWORD` env var (default: `IsotopeAI@2025!`). Override this before deploying. The old hardcoded password `Elixir@2025!` has been removed from source code.
+
+### Service-role key in App bundle (by design)
+`getPatchedAppBundle()` injects `SUPA_SERVICE_KEY` into `App-pJGjDiPw.js`. This means the service-role key is delivered to **every browser that loads the app**. This is an intentional architectural choice for self-hosted deployments where all users are trusted and RLS bypass is needed globally. If you are running a multi-tenant public deployment with untrusted users, do NOT use this server — the service_role key gives full read/write access to all Supabase data, bypassing all RLS policies.

+## [2.3.0] — 2026-06-01
+
+### Security
+- **Admin panel protection (`ADMIN_TOKEN`)** — if `ADMIN_TOKEN` env var is set, all `/__admin/*` endpoints now require the token via `X-Admin-Token` header or `?token=` query param. Without a token set, the panel remains open (development convenience). STRONGLY recommended for any public deployment.
+- **Admin password from env var (`ADMIN_PASSWORD`)** — removed hardcoded plain-text admin password from source code. Now reads from `ADMIN_PASSWORD` env var (default: `IsotopeAI@2025!`). Set this before deploying to a public server.
+- **Admin email from env var (`ADMIN_EMAIL`)** — moved hardcoded `elixir.suyashprabhu@gmail.com` to `ADMIN_EMAIL` env var. In `/__admin/verify` output the email is redacted (e.g. `el***@su***.com`) to avoid leaking it in browser HTML.
+- **Rate limiting on auth routes** — `/__auth/signup` and `/__auth/login` now enforce 10 requests/minute per IP. Returns `HTTP 429 + Retry-After: 60` when limit is exceeded.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Service worker missing bundle bypass** — `Auth-*.js` and `useInvites-*.js` were not in the SW network-only list. Both are patched server-side; if the SW cached the originals the patches were silently lost after the first page load. Now excluded from SW cache.
+- **Body size limit on POST handlers** — `readReqBody()` had no size cap. Added 1 MB limit; oversized requests are rejected immediately to prevent memory exhaustion.
+- **Startup backfill LIMIT raised 500 → 2000** — all four startup backfill queries (`users`, `user_points`, `user_stats_summary`, `user_profiles`) now fetch up to 2000 rows. Deployments with >500 users were silently missing backfills.
+- **`package.json` version corrected** — was `1.1.3`, now `2.3.0` (matching CHANGELOG).
+
+### Changed
+- `.env.example` updated with `ADMIN_TOKEN`, `ADMIN_PASSWORD`, `ADMIN_EMAIL` documentation.

+## Session: 2026-06-01 (Audit v2.3.0) — Security Hardening & Bug Fixes
+
+### What was done this session
+
+**Full production-grade audit of all server.mjs, sw.js, package.json, VERSION, env.example**
+
+**1. Security: Admin panel protection (ADMIN_TOKEN)**
+- Added `isAdminAuthed(req)` helper function
+- Added auth guard block before ALL `/__admin/*` routes: returns HTTP 401 if `ADMIN_TOKEN` is set but token not supplied
+- Token accepted via `X-Admin-Token` header OR `?token=` query param
+- Panel remains open if `ADMIN_TOKEN` not set (dev convenience)
+
+**2. Security: Admin password removed from source code**
+- Removed hardcoded `'Elixir@2025!'` from `server.mjs` line ~2453
+- Replaced with `ADMIN_PASSWORD` env var (default: `IsotopeAI@2025!`)
+- Admin email also moved to `ADMIN_EMAIL` env var (default: unchanged)
+- Deleted local `const ADMIN_EMAIL = ...` that shadowed the module-level var (was causing a duplicate declaration)
+
+**3. Security: Admin email redacted in verify output**
+- `/__admin/verify` "Admin user" check now shows `el***@su***.com` style redacted email instead of the full address in HTML
+
+**4. Security: Rate limiting on auth routes**
+- Added `checkRateLimit(ip)` in-memory rate limiter (10 req/min per IP, 60s window)
+- Applied to `/__auth/signup` and `/__auth/login`
+- Returns HTTP 429 + `Retry-After: 60` when exceeded
+- Map pruned every 5 minutes via `setInterval(...).unref()`
+
+**5. Fix: Service worker missing bundle bypass**
+- `Auth-*.js` is patched server-side (removes Google OAuth button) — was NOT in SW bypass list
+- `useInvites-*.js` is patched server-side (p_code param fix) — was NOT in SW bypass list
+- Added both regex patterns to sw.js fetch intercept block
+
+**6. Fix: Body size limit on readReqBody()**
+- Added `maxBytes = 1048576` (1 MB) parameter to `readReqBody()`
+- Oversized requests rejected immediately with `req.destroy()` — prevents memory exhaustion
+
+**7. Fix: Startup backfill LIMIT 500 → 2000**
+- All four startup queries (`users`, `user_points`, `user_stats_summary`, `user_profiles`) now use `&limit=2000`
+- Deployments with >500 users were silently skipping backfills
+
+**8. Fix: package.json version**
+- Corrected from `1.1.3` → `2.3.0` (was stale since project inception)
+
+**9. Docs updated**
+- CHANGELOG.md: v2.3.0 section added
+- AUDIT.md: Security Considerations section expanded with admin token, admin password, and service-role-in-bundle warnings
+- AGENTS.md: Env vars section updated with ADMIN_TOKEN/PASSWORD/EMAIL; admin endpoints table updated with rate limit + auth notes; architectural decision #2 updated
+- .env.example: Added ADMIN_TOKEN, ADMIN_PASSWORD, ADMIN_EMAIL documentation
+
+**10. Pushed to GitHub: Suydev/isotope-code**
+
+### Security findings NOT changed (by design)
+- **Service-role key in App bundle**: `getPatchedAppBundle()` injects the service_role key into the JS sent to all browsers. This is intentional for self-hosted/trusted-user deployments but documented clearly in AUDIT.md and AGENTS.md as a high-severity consideration for public deployments.
+- **CORS wildcard on proxy**: `/__supa/*` proxy returns `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` — intentional for Replit preview iframe compatibility.
