Closes #753, Closes #754

Two regressions in the same check-in code path:

#753 — Free RSVP check-in always fails

checkInParticipant (organizer action) writes checkInStatus/checkedInAt/checkedInBy to events/{eventId}/participants/{userId}, but the participants update rule only allowed the participant themself to touch status/buddyPreference/updatedAt — so the check-in transaction was always denied for free RSVP participants.

Fix (firestore.rules): event owner/club may now apply the check-in fields (restricted to checkInStatus, checkedInAt, checkedInBy, updatedAt). Self-service status updates, validateAttendanceStatus, and the restricted-key checks for everyone else are unchanged. The offline sync participant update (previously swallowed by .catch(() => {})) benefits from the same fix.

#754 — Offline sync writes to a non-existent subcollection

syncOfflineCheckInItem updated events/{eventId}/registrations/{userId} — a subcollection that does not exist in the current data model — so the attended status was silently lost.

Fix (checkInService.js): updates the top-level registrations/{eventId}_{userId} document (the deterministic id registerForEvent writes since #735) with status: attended + checkedInAt.

Tests (tests/firestore.rules.test.ts)

  • owner applies check-in fields → allowed
  • non-owner applies check-in fields → denied
  • owner cannot rewrite the registration payload via update (key restriction holds) → denied
  • owner updates registration status: attended → allowed
  • student updates another registration → denied

Run: npm run test:rules (firestore emulator; Java required locally — CI runs it).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Offline check-ins now synchronize attendance status and check-in time correctly.
    • Event owners can update participant check-in details while protected registration information remains secure.
    • Unauthorized check-in and registration updates are blocked.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for authorized and unauthorized participant check-in and registration updates.

, roshankumar0036singh#754)

roshankumar0036singh#753 — free RSVP check-in always failed: checkInParticipant writes
checkInStatus/checkedInAt/checkedInBy to events/{eventId}/participants/
{userId}, but the update rule only allowed the participant themselves
to touch status/buddyPreference/updatedAt, so the transaction was
always denied.

- participants update rule: event owner/club may now apply the
  check-in fields (checkInStatus, checkedInAt, checkedInBy, updatedAt);
  self-service status updates and the restricted-key checks stay intact
- offline sync benefits from the same rule fix (participant update no
  longer silently swallowed)

roshankumar0036singh#754 — offline check-in sync marked attendance on the non-existent
events/{eventId}/registrations/{userId} subcollection, so the attended
status was silently lost (the catch(() => {}) hid the failure).

- syncOfflineCheckInItem now updates the top-level registrations doc
  registrations/{eventId}_{userId} (the id registerForEvent writes)
  with status: 'attended' + checkedInAt

rules tests: owner check-in field write allowed; non-owner check-in
write denied; owner payload rewrite denied; registration attended
update allowed for owner, denied for students

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Offline check-in synchronization now updates top-level registration documents with attendance status and checkedInAt. Firestore rules add event-owner authorization for restricted check-in fields. Regression tests cover allowed and denied participant and registration updates.

Changes

Check-in synchronization and authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Root registration attendance sync
app/src/lib/checkInService.js
Offline synchronization targets registrations/{eventId}_{userId} and writes both attendance status and checkedInAt.
Owner check-in authorization
firestore.rules, tests/firestore.rules.test.ts
Event owners can update restricted check-in fields and mark registrations attended. Participants retain limited update access. Tests reject non-owner check-in changes and protected payload overwrites.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to 6249a

The change fixes the intended check-in paths but is not merge-ready because club-authorized check-ins can still be denied, event owners can modify registration fields beyond attendance data, and offline sync failures can silently lose attendance updates.

Make the registration update required and retryable.

updateDoc() rejects when the registration document is missing. The catch suppresses this error, so the item is counted as synced and removed from the queue. A retry skips the registration update because the check-in document already exists. Move the registration update outside the check-in existence guard and let failures propagate. Add tests for both failure and retry paths.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Implement the stated club authorization policy.

This branch only authorizes isEventOwner() or isEventOwnerAfter(). It never evaluates isClub(). A club account whose UID differs from ownerId is denied participant check-in writes.

Add an event-scoped club authorization condition and a regression test for that actor. Do not grant all club accounts access to every event.

Restrict and test the root registration payload.

The test at Lines 387-403 writes to events/event1/participants/student1. It does not test registrations/event1_student1. Firestore rules Lines 479-482 currently let an event owner change any root registration field, including eventId and userId.

Restrict event-owner registration updates to the intended attendance fields. Add a denied root-registration payload rewrite test. Include checkedInAt in the allowed test because app/src/lib/checkInService.js writes both fields.
