August 2025 monthly summary for repository ysengoku/42-ft_transcendence: Key features delivered: - Data Visualization Documentation: updated docs to cover donut and line rendering in SVG, added data visualization figures, and introduced JSDoc comments in pigraph and line chart modules. - Partial Update After Unblocking (Selective Refresh): improved UI responsiveness by updating only the affected user item after unblocking instead of reloading the entire list. - Security and data handling improvements: securely clear avatar file data and password data after update; clear input fields after profile updates to prevent resubmission issues. - Pagination and scroll improvements: upgraded to IntersectionObserver-based pagination, replacing legacy item-count checks and scrollend logic; added anchor-based pagination and related tests/docs alignment. - CI/QA and code quality: updated CI workflow Node version and fixed ESLint normalization errors to improve build reliability. - Vite/Avatar upload and theme refactor: refactored Vite plugin to remove theme initialization; added extension checks to avatar upload module with placeholder fallback. - Documentation and frontend flow: broad documentation updates (README, FRONTEND config, Chat and Live events docs) and new frontend flow diagrams for authentication, online status, and game invitation. - Misc. quality improvements: UI/UX debounces for chat, overflow handling for dropdowns, modal cleanup improvements, and refactoring of theme/controller tests and utilities. Major bugs fixed: - ESLint normalization and CI workflow stability improvements. - Scroll/pagination reliability: fixed last-item handling and migrated to IntersectionObserver for pagination across chat/duel menus. - Input handling bugs: cleared fields after profile updates to prevent stale data being sent; removed unused LocalStorage.setItem calls. - UI and DOM stability: removed GameOptions element on DuelMenu disconnect; fixed removeEventListener usage; modal cleanup logic updated to be independent of legacy events. - Server/API robustness: improved 404 handling for /api/chats/username and enforced timestamp in sending messages; fixed broken internal docs links. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved UI reliability and performance, especially around pagination and selective refresh, leading to smoother user experiences in chat, tournaments, and game lobbies. - Reduced server-side errors and data risks by clearing sensitive data and preventing duplicate submissions. - Strengthened development and deployment workflow with CI updates, ESLint hygiene, and comprehensive documentation coverage to accelerate onboarding and reduce maintenance cost. - Positioned the product for better cross-browser compatibility and resilience with IntersectionObserver-driven pagination and debounced chat interactions. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web APIs (IntersectionObserver, debouncing, Image loading checks) - Frontend engineering patterns: selective refresh, DOM cleanup, and robust event handling - CI/CD hygiene: Node version upgrades, ESLint fixes, non-blocking format/lint handling - Documentation and developer experience: JSDoc, README, CI docs, and frontend/backend flow diagrams - Security-conscious data handling: explicit clearing of sensitive data after profile updates
