Replaces single-MP4 + range-request streaming with HLS multi-bitrate
segments to fix video stutter through the Newt tunnel. Range-request
bursts were the root cause; HLS chunks are small and tunnel-friendly,
plus the player adapts bitrate to bandwidth.
Backend
- New BullMQ `hls-transcode` queue (in-process worker, concurrency 1)
- FFmpeg single-pass transcode → 360p/720p/1080p variants with aligned
keyframes; output at /media/local/hls/{id}/master.m3u8
- New /api/{videos|public}/{id}/hls/* routes serving signed manifests
and segments (URLs emitted as /media/* so nginx rewrites to media-api)
- Prisma: HlsStatus enum + 6 fields on Video + index, migration
- Upload + yt-dlp fetch paths enqueue transcode jobs
- ENABLE_HLS_TRANSCODE flag (default off; gates enqueue only)
- Backfill script: `npm run backfill:hls`
- media-api bumped to 4 CPU / 2G for FFmpeg headroom
Frontend
- New useHls hook: lazy-imports hls.js (kept out of main bundle),
native HLS on Safari/iOS, gives up after 2 NETWORK_ERRORs so MP4
fallback engages cleanly
- VideoPlayer, VideoViewerModal, ShortsPage, ProductDetailPage now
prefer HLS when ready; MP4 fallback is automatic
- ShortsPage prefetches next-3 master manifests via <link rel="prefetch">
- PublicVideoCard hover preview stays MP4 (avoids hls.js init latency)

Deferred findings from the March 27 security audit, plus a bug fix:
MongoDB keyfile (bug fix):
- Generate replica.key on first boot via entrypoint script
- Fixes crash from --auth + --keyFile without an existing keyfile
- Applied to docker-compose.yml, docker-compose.prod.yml, CCP template
I7 — Ticket overselling prevention (reservation pattern):
- Add reservedCount field to TicketTier schema
- Atomically increment reservedCount inside transaction on checkout
- Release reservation on checkout.session.completed (webhook)
- Release reservation on checkout.session.expired (webhook)
- Include reservedCount in availability calculations
I17 — Move refresh token to httpOnly cookie:
- Server sets httpOnly SameSite=Strict cookie on login/register/refresh
- Cookie scoped to /api/auth path, secure in production
- Refresh/logout endpoints read from cookie (with body fallback for compat)
- Frontend no longer stores refreshToken in localStorage
- Auth store simplified: removed refreshToken from state + persistence
- API interceptor uses withCredentials:true for automatic cookie sending
- Updated media-api, media-public-api, QuickJoinPage, volunteer-invite
- Renamed getTokens → getAccessToken across all media components
- Install cookie-parser middleware
L2 — FeatureGate loading state:
- Show Skeleton instead of children while settings are loading
- Prevents briefly exposing disabled feature pages

Major additions: onboarding tour system, correlation-id middleware, media
error handler, restore script, env validation script, Dockerignore files.
Updates across 70+ admin components for improved UX and error handling.

All 13 nginx embed proxy ports (8881-8895) are now driven by environment
variables instead of being hardcoded. This prevents port conflicts when
running multiple Changemaker instances on the same host.
Chain: .env → docker-compose port mappings → nginx container env →
entrypoint.sh envsubst → services.conf.template listen directives →
API /services/config endpoint → frontend buildServiceUrl().
Existing deployments are unaffected (all vars default to current values).
