+# API Security Phase 1 — Robust Endpoint Protection
+
+**Issue:** crisleo-hermes/job-tracker#7  
+**Feature branch:** feature/api-security-phase-1  
+**Date:** 2026-05-27
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement comprehensive API security measures: short-lived JWT with refresh token rotation, token blacklisting, role-based access control, rate limiting tightening, input sanitization, a custom exception handler that suppresses stack traces, and minimal sensitive data exposure in API responses.
+
+---
+
+## Backend Specification
+
+### 1. Token Lifecycle Changes
+
+#### Shortened JWT Lifetimes
+
+| Setting | Current | New | Rationale |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `ACCESS_TOKEN_LIFETIME` | 24 hours | 15 minutes | Minimises window for stolen tokens |
+| `REFRESH_TOKEN_LIFETIME` | 30 days | 7 days | Limits refresh token exposure |
+| `ROTATE_REFRESH_TOKENS` | (not set) | `True` | Old refresh token invalidated on each refresh |
+| `BLACKLIST_AFTER_ROTATION` | (not set) | `True` | Used refresh tokens cannot be replayed |
+
+#### Token Blacklist Model
+
+Add a `BlacklistedToken` model storing the JWT `jti` (JWT ID claim), the user, and the expiry datetime. This allows explicit logout (invalidate current token) and ensures rotated refresh tokens cannot be reused.
+
+**Model: `accounts.BlacklistedToken`**
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `jti` | `UUIDField(unique=True)` | JWT ID from the token payload |
+| `user` | `ForeignKey(User)` | Owner of the token |
+| `created_at` | `DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)` | When it was blacklisted |
+| `expires_at` | `DateTimeField()` | When the token would have naturally expired |
+
+A management command (`cleartokens`) purges expired entries.
+
+#### New API Endpoints
+
+**`POST /api/auth/logout/`** — Blacklist the current refresh token.
+
+**Request:**
+```json
+{ "refresh": "<refresh_token>" }
+```
+
+**Validation:**
+- Refresh token must be valid (not expired, not already blacklisted)
+- Returns 205 Reset Content on success (204 would also be acceptable; 205 signals the client should reset its state)
+
+**`POST /api/auth/refresh/`** — Override of SimpleJWT's built-in refresh with rotation + blacklist.
+
+Same shape as SimpleJWT default — accepts `{ "refresh": "<token>" }`, returns `{ "access": "...", "refresh": "..." }`.
+
+**`GET /api/auth/me/`** — Return the current user's profile.
+
+Requires valid access token. Returns:
+```json
+{ "id": 1, "email": "user@example.com", "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe" }
+```
+
+### 2. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
+
+Two built-in roles via Django's `Groups`:
+
+| Role | Permissions |
+|---|---|
+| `admin` | Full CRUD on all resources |
+| `user` (default) | CRUD on own resources only |
+
+No separate `Role` model — reuse Django's built-in `django.contrib.auth.models.Group`.
+
+#### Permission Logic
+
+- `IsAdminOrReadOnly` — admin can do anything; authenticated users can read; anonymous denied
+- `IsOwnerOrAdmin` — object-level permission: user can modify their own resources; admin can modify anything
+
+#### Model Ownership
+
+Add `user = ForeignKey(User, on_delete=CASCADE, related_name="job_applications")` to `JobApplication`. This is a **schema change** — existing records get a default of the first superuser (migration handles this).
+
+Filter queries by `request.user` for non-admin users. Admins see all records.
+
+### 3. Custom Exception Handler
+
+Create `accounts.exceptions` module with a DRF custom exception handler that:
+
+- Returns `{"error": "message", "code": "error_code"}` for all API errors
+- NEVER includes stack traces, file paths, or Python internals
+- Maps DRF's built-in exceptions to user-safe messages
+- Logs the full traceback to `django.log` (sensitive details go to logs, not to the client)
+- Returns 500 with `{"error": "Internal server error.", "code": "internal_error"}` for unhandled exceptions
+
+### 4. Input Validation & Sanitization
+
+**Current state:** `RegisterSerializer` already validates email format, password length, and password match.
+
+**Additions:**
+- Strip leading/trailing whitespace from all string fields across all serializers (`JobApplicationSerializer`, `JobUpdateSerializer`)
+- Reject null bytes (`\x00`) in string inputs (null-byte injection protection)
+- Add a reusable `SanitizedCharField` that strips control characters (ASCII 0x00–0x1F except `\t`, `\n`, `\r`) on deserialization
+- Validate `company_name` and `position_title` max lengths (already on model, enforce in serializer)
+
+### 5. Rate Limiting Enhancements
+
+| Scope | Rate | Applied to |
+|---|---|---|
+| `anon` | `10/hour` | All anonymous endpoints |
+| `auth` | `5/minute` | Login, Register (already implemented) |
+| `user` (new) | `60/minute` | All authenticated endpoints |
+
+Implement a custom `UserRateThrottle` that scopes by user ID for authenticated requests.
+
+### 6. Security Middleware
+
+**`accounts.middleware.SecurityHeadersMiddleware`**
+
+Adds response headers:
+- `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
+- `X-Frame-Options: DENY`
+- `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`
+- `Permissions-Policy: geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()`
+- `Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains` (only when not DEBUG)
+
+### 7. Sensitive Data Exposure
+
+- `UserSerializer` already only exposes `id`, `email`, `first_name`, `last_name` ❌
+- Remove `email` from `UserSerializer` — use `id`, `first_name`, `last_name` only (email is PII)
+- In `JobApplicationSerializer`, exclude `notes` from list responses (only include in detail)
+- Add `user_id` to `JobApplicationSerializer` (read-only, set automatically on create)
+
+---
+
+## Frontend Specification
+
+### Token Refresh Interceptor
+
+Add an Axios response interceptor that:
+1. Detects 401 responses
+2. Tries `POST /api/auth/refresh/` with the stored refresh token
+3. On success: replaces `access_token` in localStorage, retries the original request
+4. On failure: clears tokens, redirects to `/login`
+
+### Protected Route Component
+
+Create `<ProtectedRoute>` component that:
+- Reads `isAuthenticated` from `AuthContext`
+- If not authenticated: redirects to `/login` with a `?redirect=` param
+- If loading: shows a loading spinner
+- If authenticated: renders children
+
+### Logout in AuthContext
+
+Add a `logout()` call that:
+- Calls `POST /api/auth/logout/` with the stored refresh token
+- Clears tokens from localStorage
+- Dispatches `LOGOUT` action
+- Redirects to `/login`
+
+### Auth Flow Updates
+
+- `LoginPage` / `RegisterPage`: redirect authenticated users to `/` via `Navigate` (already handled via `AuthContext`)
+- HomePage: no change needed — it already uses `useAuth` and the API client attaches the token
+
+---
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+1. `accounts` app: add `BlacklistedToken` model → `0002_blacklistedtoken`
+2. `jobs` app: add `user` FK to `JobApplication` → `0002_jobapplication_user`
+   - Existing rows: assign to the first superuser via `RunPython` migration
+   - New `unique_together = ["user", "company_name", "position_title"]`
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations (Phase 1 Gaps)
+
+- No API key for machine-to-machine access (deferred to Phase 2)
+- No rate limiting on `/api/auth/refresh/` (low risk — refresh tokens are single-use with rotation)
+- No CSRF protection for cookie-based auth (not applicable — JWT Bearer auth only)
+- Logging configuration deferred to deployment (Phase 2)

+# Spec: Home Page with MUI Components
+
+## Ticket
+Gitea: crisleo-hermes/job-tracker#2
+Kanban: t_e6936299
+
+## Overview
+Build a home page at route `/` using Material-UI (MUI) components that displays the last three job updates and dashboard metrics, with a button to create a new job application.
+
+## Pages
+
+### HomePage (`/`)
+- AppBar with title "Job Tracker"
+- Dashboard metrics cards row (total applications, interviews, offers, rejection rate)
+- Last 3 job updates displayed as cards
+- "Create New Job Application" button (navigates to creation flow)
+- Loading skeleton while data fetches
+- Error snackbar on API failure
+- Responsive Grid layout
+
+## API Endpoints Consumed
+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET | `/api/updates/latest/` | 3 most recent JobUpdates with nested job info |
+| GET | `/api/updates/metrics/` | Dashboard metrics (total, status breakdown, interviews, offers, rejection rate) |
+
+### Response Shapes
+
+**GET /api/updates/latest/**
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": 1,
+    "job_id": 1,
+    "company_name": "Acme Corp",
+    "position_title": "Software Engineer",
+    "from_status": "APPLIED",
+    "to_status": "INTERVIEW",
+    "notes": "Moving to next round",
+    "created_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
+    "metrics": {"response_time_days": 5}
+  }
+]
+```
+
+**GET /api/updates/metrics/**
+```json
+{
+  "total_applications": 12,
+  "status_breakdown": {"APPLIED": 5, "INTERVIEW": 4, "OFFER": 2, "REJECTED": 1},
+  "interviews_count": 6,
+  "offers_count": 2,
+  "rejection_rate": 8.3
+}
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### `AppLayout`
+- MUI `AppBar` with `Toolbar`, `Typography` ("Job Tracker")
+- Wraps child content via `Outlet` from React Router
+
+### `UpdateCard`
+- MUI `Card` → `CardContent`
+- Displays: company name, position title, status change (`from_status` → `to_status`), created date, metrics summary
+- Props: `JobUpdate`
+
+### `MetricsPanel`
+- MUI `Grid` container with metric `Card` items
+- Each metric: total applications, interviews count, offers count, rejection rate
+- Props: `DashboardMetrics`
+
+### `LoadingSkeleton`
+- MUI `Skeleton` components mimicking the home page layout
+
+## Data Fetching
+
+Custom hook `useDashboardData` using React's `useEffect` + `useState`:
+- Fetches from `/api/updates/latest/` and `/api/updates/metrics/` concurrently (`Promise.all`)
+- Vite proxy: `/api` → `http://localhost:8000/api`
+- States: loading, error (with error message), data
+
+## TypeScript Types
+
+```typescript
+interface JobUpdate {
+  id: number;
+  job_id: number;
+  company_name: string;
+  position_title: string;
+  from_status: string | null;
+  to_status: string;
+  notes: string;
+  created_at: string;
+  metrics: Record<string, unknown>;
+}
+
+interface DashboardMetrics {
+  total_applications: number;
+  status_breakdown: Record<string, number>;
+  interviews_count: number;
+  offers_count: number;
+  rejection_rate: number;
+}
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Home page at route `/`
+- [x] MUI components exclusively (AppBar, Typography, Card, Grid, Button, Skeleton, Snackbar)
+- [x] Last 3 job updates: job ID, status, creation date, metrics
+- [x] "Create New Job Application" button navigates to `/applications/new`
+- [x] Loading indicators while fetching data (Skeleton components)
+- [x] Graceful error handling (Snackbar with error message)
+- [x] Responsive layout (Grid breakpoints)
