Monthly summary for 2025-03 - ft_transcendance. This month centered on delivering robust authentication, stabilizing environments, and modernizing deployment and UI to boost reliability, security, and developer velocity. Key outcomes include end-to-end OAuth client integration with Client Credentials grant and async token fetching, token caching and improved cookie/session stability, and a Backend JWT authentication approach with targeted UI styling. Infrastructure and deployment were hardened via rootless Dockerfiles and a 2FA UI refactor, while environment handling, Django project naming, and static file issues were addressed for greater deployment predictability. Code quality improvements included removing deprecated credential paths, eliminating async httpx usage, and stripping debug comments for a cleaner codebase. Business value: more reliable login flows, reduced environmental incidents, faster iteration cycles, and a stronger security posture for the product.
