Leon van Zyl a3a151c67a feat: comprehensive boilerplate improvements
Security & Stability:
- Add Next.js 16 proxy.ts for BetterAuth cookie-based auth protection
- Add rate limiting for API routes (src/lib/rate-limit.ts)
- Add Zod validation for chat API request bodies
- Add session auth check to chat and diagnostics endpoints
- Add security headers in next.config.ts (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.)
- Add file upload validation and sanitization in storage.ts

Core UX Components:
- Add error boundaries (error.tsx, not-found.tsx, chat/error.tsx)
- Add loading states (skeleton.tsx, spinner.tsx, loading.tsx files)
- Add toast notifications with Sonner
- Add form components (input.tsx, textarea.tsx, label.tsx)
- Add database indexes for performance (schema.ts)
- Enhance chat UX: timestamps, copy-to-clipboard, thinking indicator,
  error display, localStorage message persistence

Polish & Accessibility:
- Add Open Graph and Twitter card metadata
- Add JSON-LD structured data for SEO
- Add sitemap.ts, robots.ts, manifest.ts
- Add skip-to-content link and ARIA labels in site-header
- Enable profile page quick action buttons with dialogs
- Update Next.js 15 references to Next.js 16

Developer Experience:
- Add GitHub Actions CI workflow (lint, typecheck, build)
- Add Prettier configuration (.prettierrc, .prettierignore)
- Add .nvmrc pinning Node 20
- Add ESLint rules: import/order, react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
- Add stricter TypeScript settings (exactOptionalPropertyTypes,
  noImplicitOverride)
- Add interactive setup script (scripts/setup.ts)
- Add session utility functions (src/lib/session.ts)

# Next.js 16 Boilerplate Improvements - Requirements
## Overview
Comprehensive review and improvement of the Next.js 16 boilerplate project to enhance security, user experience, developer experience, and overall code quality.
## User Decisions
- **Scope:** Full implementation (all improvements including CI/CD, CLI tools)
- **Testing:** Skip testing framework (keep boilerplate minimal)
- **Toast Library:** shadcn Sonner component
- **CI/CD:** Full GitHub Actions pipeline (lint, typecheck, build)
- **Dockerfile:** Skip (deploying to Vercel only)
- **Database Seed:** Skip (developers will create their own data)
## Requirements by Category
### 1. Security & Stability (Critical)
1. **next.config.ts** - Currently empty, needs:
- Security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options)
- Image optimization configuration
- Compression settings
2. **Unused Dependency** - Remove `@ai-sdk/openai` from package.json (project uses OpenRouter exclusively)
3. **Server-Side Auth Protection** - Create `src/proxy.ts` using Next.js 16 proxy pattern with BetterAuth for protected routes (`/chat`, `/dashboard`, `/profile`)
4. **API Authentication** - Add session validation to `/api/chat` endpoint to prevent unauthorized API usage
5. **Documentation Consistency** - Update `docs/technical/ai/streaming.md` to use `@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider` instead of `@ai-sdk/openai`
6. **Next.js Version References** - Update all "Next.js 15" references to "Next.js 16" across 14 files
### 2. Core UX Components (High Priority)
1. **Error Handling UI**
- Global error boundary (`src/app/error.tsx`)
- Custom 404 page (`src/app/not-found.tsx`)
- Chat-specific error handling (`src/app/chat/error.tsx`)
2. **Loading States**
- Skeleton component (`src/components/ui/skeleton.tsx`)
- Loading spinner (`src/components/ui/spinner.tsx`)
- Chat loading skeleton (`src/app/chat/loading.tsx`)
- Dashboard loading skeleton (`src/app/dashboard/loading.tsx`)
3. **Toast Notifications**
- Install shadcn Sonner component
- Add Toaster to layout
4. **Chat UX Improvements**
- Message timestamps
- Copy-to-clipboard for AI responses
- Typing/thinking indicator during streaming
- Error display for API failures
- Message persistence (localStorage)
5. **Database Indexes** - Add missing indexes on:
- `session.user_id`
- `session.token`
- `account.user_id`
- `account(provider_id, account_id)`
- `user.email`
6. **Form Components**
- Input component (`src/components/ui/input.tsx`)
- Textarea component (`src/components/ui/textarea.tsx`)
- Label component (`src/components/ui/label.tsx`)
### 3. Polish & Security (Medium Priority)
1. **ESLint Enhancement**
- Import ordering rules
- TypeScript-eslint rules
- React hooks exhaustive-deps
- no-console warnings
2. **API Hardening**
- Rate limiting for chat endpoint
- Zod validation for incoming messages
- Restrict diagnostics endpoint to admins
3. **SEO Improvements**
- Per-page metadata
- Open Graph tags
- JSON-LD structured data
- Sitemap (`src/app/sitemap.ts`)
- Robots (`src/app/robots.ts`)
4. **Accessibility**
- aria-label on interactive elements
- nav role in site header
- Proper form labels
- Skip-to-content link
5. **TypeScript Strictness**
- `noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true`
- `noImplicitOverride: true`
- `exactOptionalPropertyTypes: true`
### 4. Developer Experience (DevEx)
1. **Prettier Configuration** - Add `.prettierrc` for consistent code formatting
2. **CI/CD Pipeline** - GitHub Actions workflow with:
- Lint check
- Type check
- Build verification
3. **Node Version Pinning** - Add `.nvmrc` for Node 20 LTS
4. **CLI Scripts** - Add helpful package.json scripts:
- `validate-env` - Check required environment variables
- `check` - Run lint + typecheck in one command
5. **Setup Experience** - Interactive setup script (`scripts/setup.ts`)
6. **File Storage Security**
- File type whitelist
- File size limits
- Filename sanitization
7. **Profile Page** - Enable disabled quick action buttons
## Out of Scope
- Unit testing framework
- E2E testing framework
- Dockerfile / container deployment
- Database seeding
