# Phase 19 — Dynamic Admin Panel

**Release:** 0.19.0  
**Date:** 2026-09-10  
**Entry:** `/admin`

Phase 19 adds a working administration frontend on the existing Express/EJS/MySQL application. It connects 23 business resource workspaces, 10 operational workspaces and an Overview page to the supported API contracts. New supporting endpoints provide permission-limited operational reads and verified media uploads.

## Delivered

- Password + TOTP/recovery-code sign-in, authenticated session restore and sign-out.
- Permission-filtered navigation and per-action controls; server guards remain authoritative.
- Responsive sidebar, mobile menu, light/dark appearance, tables, filters, pagination, status badges, detail dialogs and activity chart.
- Structured schema-based forms for nested eligibility, theme tokens, audiences, reward items, withdrawal account fields and versioned settings.
- Task/content lifecycle actions; referral and withdrawal review; manual payout confirmation; broadcast approval/cancellation; reminder schedules.
- Review-before-submit, precise string money values, stale-version handling, duplicate-request coalescing, late-response rejection and sensitive-detail clearing.
- Strict CSP for admin pages, no framing, no credential storage, no execution of content markup.
- Verified PNG/JPEG/WebP upload, re-encoding, metadata removal, generated filenames, media gallery/picker and digest-protected serving.
- Read-only administrator/role/grant inventory, immutable ledger entries, audit/security/fraud views, delivery queue, failed jobs and database/outbox snapshot.

## Verification

**Final quality gate: PASS — 379/379 tests, zero failures or skips.** Lint, formatting, the environment example, database schema checks, both CSS builds and project structure verification passed. The schema remains at 22 migrations, 6 seeds, 75 tables and 249 named constraints.

The machine-readable `PHASE-19-QUALITY-GATE.json` records the final executed gate. The targeted suite contains **33 new tests** covering authenticated boot/logout, password/TOTP flow, permissions, confirmations, stale versions, precision, content round-trips, forms, charts, SQL binding, upload authorization/limits and real image decoding/re-encoding. The full command output is included in `PHASE-19-QUALITY-CHECK.txt`.

The online dependency audit found **0 reported vulnerabilities** at the time of this build. This is a dependency advisory snapshot, not a claim that the application has no vulnerabilities.

No browser screenshots/device interaction, live MySQL/Redis transaction acceptance, real Telegram login/delivery, payout-provider calls, deployment or load test was performed. HTTP integration uses injected services/repositories; DOM tests run in jsdom with a minimal dialog lifecycle fixture. Native browser focus/layout remains to be checked.

## Scope limits carried forward

Administrator creation/role assignment editing, user restriction/session mutations, generic fraud resolution, manual wallet adjustment and manual job retries do not have supporting management services in the prior implementation and remain unavailable. Current inventory/read screens explicitly state this. These are remaining feature gaps; they must not be labelled completed simply because their read screens exist.

The frontend and supported operations are implemented, but the original plan's **complete** management feature set and production acceptance are not yet fully satisfied. Phase 20 must include these outstanding gaps in its readiness review instead of treating this checkpoint as a certified production release.

See [Admin Panel frontend guide](ADMIN-PANEL-FRONTEND.md) for workflow coverage, API permissions, image storage requirements and acceptance work.

## Upgrade

Use this release's complete project, run `npm ci` and `npm run build`, keep deployment credentials outside the archive, and restart the web process. Sharp requires its platform-specific optional dependency. **No database migration or new environment key is introduced.** Existing migrations/seeds must already be applied.

The ZIP contains source and built CSS, tests and documentation. It excludes dependencies, live credentials and runtime storage data. Its SHA-256 and byte-for-byte package verification are supplied alongside the archive.
