February 2025: Delivered a targeted update to EventDetail Page on HKN-UCSD/hkn-portal, prioritizing security, maintainability, and user experience. Implemented DOMPurify-based secure rendering for event descriptions, performed a flexbox-based layout refactor to separate PointBar from the main content, and improved conditional rendering of event details and actions to avoid inconsistent states. Implemented a build configuration adjustment (PostCSS CommonJS) to support the DOMPurify integration, ensuring stable production builds. These changes reduce XSS risk, improve UI consistency, and streamline future feature work.
