/api/playlist/downloads/	GET/POST	IsAuthenticated + IsOwnerOrAdmin	Owners/Admins	✅ Secure
/api/channel/	GET	AdminWriteOnly (read-only for users)	All Users	✅ Secure
/api/task/	ALL	AdminOnly	Admins Only	✅ Secure
/api/download/	ALL	AdminOnly	Admins Only	✅ Secure
/api/appsettings/	ALL	AdminOnly	Admins Only	✅ Secure
/api/user/admin/	ALL	IsAdminUser	Admins Only	✅ Secure
/admin/	ALL	Django Admin	Superusers	✅ Secure

Multi-Tenant Isolation ✅

Mechanism: IsOwnerOrAdmin permission class
Implementation:

# backend/common/permissions.py
class IsOwnerOrAdmin(permissions.BasePermission):
    def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
        # Admins can access everything
        if request.user.is_admin or request.user.is_superuser:
            return True
        
        # Check if object has owner field
        if hasattr(obj, 'owner'):
            return obj.owner == request.user

Protected Resources:

• Local Audio Files ✅
• Playlists ✅
• Downloads ✅
• User Settings ✅

Token-Based Authentication ✅

Implementation: Django REST Framework Token Authentication
Storage: localStorage (client-side)
Header: Authorization: Token <token>
CSRF Protection: Enabled for unsafe methods

Security Measures:

1. Token validated on every request ✅
2. Token expires on logout ✅
3. HTTPS required for production ✅
4. CORS properly configured ✅

Client-Side Security ✅

API Client Configuration:

// frontend/src/api/client.ts
const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: '/api',
  withCredentials: true,
});

api.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
  const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
  if (token) {
    config.headers.Authorization = `Token ${token}`;
  }
  // CSRF token for unsafe methods
  if (!['get', 'head', 'options'].includes(config.method)) {
    config.headers['X-CSRFToken'] = getCookie('csrftoken');
  }
  return config;
});

Benefits:

• Automatic token injection ✅
• CSRF protection ✅
• Consistent error handling ✅

/manifest.json                           # PWA (explicit)

/*                                       # React catch-all (LAST)

URL Ordering Rules:

1. ✅ Specific routes BEFORE catch-all patterns
2. ✅ Static files explicitly defined
3. ✅ React catch-all excludes API/admin/static/media/assets
4. ✅ No overlapping patterns detected

Frontend Route Protection ✅

// App.tsx
if (!isAuthenticated) {
  return <LoginPage onLoginSuccess={handleLoginSuccess} />;
}

<Routes>
  <Route path="/" element={<HomePage />} />
  <Route path="/library" element={<LibraryPage />} />
  <Route path="/local-files" element={<LocalFilesPage />} />
  <Route path="/playlists" element={<PlaylistsPage />} />
  <Route path="*" element={<Navigate to="/" replace />} />
</Routes>

Protection:

• All routes require authentication ✅
• Invalid routes redirect to home ✅
• No exposed admin routes in frontend ✅

  ]
}

Status: ✅ Valid JSON, proper structure, all required fields

Service Worker ✅

File: /frontend/public/service-worker.js

Caching Strategy:

// Static assets - Cache First
CACHE_NAME = 'soundwave-v1'
STATIC_ASSETS = ['/', '/index.html', '/manifest.json', '/favicon.ico']

// API - Network First with Cache Fallback
API_CACHE_NAME = 'soundwave-api-v1'

// Audio - Cache First (for downloaded audio)
AUDIO_CACHE_NAME = 'soundwave-audio-v1'

// Images - Cache First
IMAGE_CACHE_NAME = 'soundwave-images-v1'

MIME Type Verification:

curl -I http://localhost:8889/service-worker.js
Content-Type: application/javascript ✅

curl -I http://localhost:8889/manifest.json
Content-Type: application/json ✅

curl -I http://localhost:8889/img/icons/icon-192x192.png
Content-Type: image/png ✅

PWA Installability Checklist ✅

• HTTPS or localhost (HTTPS required for production)
• manifest.json with valid schema
• Service worker registered and active
• Icons in multiple sizes (72-512px)
• Maskable icons for Android
• Apple touch icon for iOS
• start_url defined
• display: standalone

🎨 UI/UX Audit

Player Component ✅

Fixed Issues:

1. ✅ Progress bar now interactive (Slider component)
2. ✅ Volume slider functional
3. ✅ Visualizer animates only when playing
4. ✅ Lyrics toggle on album art click
5. ✅ Media session API integrated
6. ✅ Proper touch targets (48px minimum)

Controls:

// Progress Bar - Interactive Slider
<Slider
  value={currentTime}
  max={audio.duration}
  onChange={handleSeek}
  sx={{ /* proper styling */ }}
/>

// Volume Control - Interactive Slider
<Slider
  value={isMuted ? 0 : volume}
  onChange={(_, value) => {
    setVolume(value as number);
    if (value > 0) setIsMuted(false);
  }}
/>

// Visualizer - Animated Only When Playing
animation: isPlaying ? 'visualizer-bounce 1.2s infinite ease-in-out' : 'none'

Local Files Feature ✅

Security:

• File System Access API (HTTPS/localhost only) ✅
• No server upload ✅
• IndexedDB storage (client-side) ✅
• Browser sandboxing ✅

UX:

// HTTPS Detection
if (!window.isSecureContext) {
  setAlert({ 
    message: 'Folder selection requires HTTPS or localhost. Use "Select Files" instead.',
    severity: 'info'
  });
  return;
}

// Visual Indicator
<Tooltip title="Folder selection requires HTTPS...">
  <Button disabled={!window.isSecureContext}>
    Select Folder {!window.isSecureContext && '🔒'}
  </Button>
</Tooltip>

Playback:

const audio: Audio = {
  id: parseInt(localFile.id.split('-')[0]) || Date.now(),
  youtube_id: undefined,  // No YouTube ID for local files
  media_url: audioURL,    // Blob URL for playback
  title: localFile.title,
  artist: localFile.artist,
  // ... other fields
};

// Player checks media_url first, then youtube_id
<audio src={audio.media_url || (audio.youtube_id ? `/api/audio/${audio.youtube_id}/player/` : '')} />

Responsive Design ✅

Breakpoints:

• xs: 0px (mobile)
• sm: 600px (tablet)
• md: 900px (tablet landscape)
• lg: 1280px (desktop) - Player appears here
• xl: 1536px (large desktop)

Player Behavior:

• Mobile: Hidden (use bottom player - future feature)
• Desktop (1280px+): 380px right sidebar ✅

🔍 Potential Issues & Mitigations

Issue 1: Quick Sync 401 Before Login ❌→✅ FIXED

Problem: QuickSyncContext fetched data on mount before authentication
Solution:

useEffect(() => {
  const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
  if (!token) {
    setLoading(false);
    return;  // Don't fetch if not authenticated
  }
  fetchStatus();
}, []);

Issue 2: Local File Player 404 ❌→✅ FIXED

Problem: Player used youtube_id for local files (which don't have one)
Solution:

// Audio interface now supports media_url
export interface Audio {
  youtube_id?: string;  // Optional
  media_url?: string;   // For local files
  // ...
}

// Player checks media_url first
<audio src={audio.media_url || (audio.youtube_id ? `/api/audio/${audio.youtube_id}/player/` : '')} />

Issue 3: PWA Files Serving HTML ❌→✅ FIXED

Problem: Catch-all route returned index.html for manifest.json, service-worker.js, images
Solution:

# config/urls.py - Explicit routes BEFORE catch-all
path('manifest.json', serve, {'path': 'manifest.json', 'document_root': frontend_dist}),
path('service-worker.js', serve, {'path': 'service-worker.js', 'document_root': frontend_dist}),
re_path(r'^img/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': frontend_dist / 'img'}),

# Catch-all LAST, excludes specific paths
re_path(r'^(?!api/|admin/|static/|media/|assets/).*$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='index.html'))

Issue 4: Folder Selection Over HTTP ❌→✅ MITIGATED

Problem: File System Access API requires secure context (HTTPS/localhost)
Solution:

• HTTPS detection with user-friendly message ✅
• Button disabled with tooltip explanation ✅
• Fallback to "Select Files" option ✅
• Visual indicator (🔒) when disabled ✅
