Northline RP Community Portal v2.6.8

Northline RP Community Portal v2.6.8

Focus

Polish pass for the Rules and Players pages, plus session/auth hardening for Cloudflare/Caddy deployments.

Changed

Players page

  • Reworded the directory so it feels like a public citizen board, not an explanation of implementation details.
  • Removed awkward end-user copy such as save-file/dump wording.
  • Fixed citizen card layering so avatars sit cleanly above the banner.
  • Improved card spacing, hover polish, and empty-bio handling.
  • Kept the privacy behavior: private profiles and unclaimed saves do not appear.

Rules page

  • Improved contrast on cards and rule sections.
  • Strengthened readability for scenario answers, accordion content, and dark website styles.
  • Preserved the interactive handbook direction.

Auth/session

  • Added a secure __Host-northline_steam_session cookie when running on HTTPS.
  • Kept legacy session cookie fallback for existing sessions.
  • Added global no-store middleware to prevent Cloudflare/browser caching stale signed-in/signed-out HTML.
  • Added CDN/Cloudflare no-store headers to API responses.
  • Trimmed accidental whitespace from SESSION_SECRET before signing cookies.
  • Added /api/auth/session for quick auth diagnostics.
  • Added docs/AUTH_TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

Not changed

  • Tweeter pages/components were not modified.
