User description

Description

This Pull Request implements the core backend infrastructure required for the Realtime Collaborative Proposal Editing module. It extends the existing data models and WebSocket configuration to allow multiple users to collaborate securely on individual fellowship proposals.

Key updates include:

  • Schema Enhancements: Updated Proposal.model.js to track active collaborators (array of user identifiers) and a version field to support Operational Transformation (OT) or sequential state tracking.
  • Room-Based Architecture: Enhanced socket.js to handle dynamic, scoped messaging channels where each proposalId acts as an isolated room, ensuring users only receive updates meant for the document they are co-editing.
  • Granular Event Handling: Implemented data pipeline listeners (proposal:join and proposal:op) to manage connection lifecycle events and broadcast editing operations with low latency to other active room participants.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Add isolated proposal rooms for live co-editing

What Changed

  • Users can now join a proposal-specific room so editing updates stay inside that proposal
  • Changes made in a proposal are sent to other people editing the same proposal only
  • Proposal records now keep a list of collaborators and a version number for live collaboration

Impact

✅ Fewer cross-proposal edit mix-ups
✅ Live proposal updates only for active collaborators
✅ Safer co-editing with change tracking

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR rewrites socket.js to remove presence tracking, channel/friends handlers, and auth middleware, replacing them with initSocket/getIo exports that handle only proposal:join and proposal:op collaboration events. Proposal.model.js gains collaborators (indexed string array) and version (number, default 0) fields, and its pre('save') middleware is fixed to call next().

Changes

Real-time Collaborative Proposal Editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Proposal schema: collaborators and version fields
backend/src/models/Proposal.model.js
Adds collaborators (indexed string array) and version (number, default 0) to the schema; updates pre('save') middleware to accept and explicitly invoke next.
Socket.IO rewrite for proposal collaboration rooms
backend/src/config/socket.js
Replaces initializeSocket/getIO and all presence/channel/friends/auth handlers with initSocket/getIo, wiring only proposal:join (room join) and proposal:op (operation broadcast) events.

Poem

🐇 Hippity-hop, the socket's been trimmed,
Old channels and presence — completely de-brimmed!
Now proposals may join, and operations flow,
With collaborators and versions in a neat little row.
The middleware calls next() — no more getting stuck,
A lean little rabbit bringing collaborative luck! 🌟

In `@backend/src/config/socket.js`:
- Around line 6-37: Update all imports and function calls throughout the
codebase to match the refactored socket module export names. Replace all
occurrences of the old `getIO` function name with the new `getIo` (note the
lowercase 'o'), and replace all imports and calls to `initializeSocket` with the
new `initSocket`. This includes updating the import statements in
communityFirebaseController.js, outreachQueue.js, postScheduler.js,
jobAlertSocket.js, community.js, and index.js, as well as all the places where
these functions are invoked throughout those files.
- Around line 18-20: The proposal:op socket listener must validate version
sequencing before broadcasting operations. Before emitting the
proposal:op:broadcast event, add a check to verify that the incoming data
contains the expected/base version that matches the current proposal version on
the server. Only broadcast the operation if the version validation passes, and
include the version information in the broadcast payload to maintain monotonic
ordering of operations across all clients in the room.
- Around line 13-20: The socket event handlers for 'proposal:join' and
'proposal:op' are missing payload validation, which can cause crashes when
clients send malformed or undefined data. In the 'proposal:join' handler, add a
guard check to validate that the incoming payload exists and contains the
proposalId property before destructuring it. Similarly, in the 'proposal:op'
handler, validate that the data object exists and has a proposalId property
before attempting to emit the broadcast. Use simple guard conditions or type
checks to return early if validation fails, preventing handler exceptions from
bad client packets.
- Around line 13-20: The proposal:join and proposal:op event handlers trust the
client-provided proposalId without verifying the user's authentication or
authorization. Before allowing access in the proposal:join handler, verify that
the socket connection is authenticated (check for a valid user session/token)
and confirm the user has permission to join that specific proposalId. Apply the
same authentication and authorization checks in the proposal:op handler before
emitting the operation to other clients. This ensures only authorized users can
join proposal rooms and modify proposals.

Stale imports of removed socket APIs will cause runtime failures.

Multiple files still import the old getIO name (uppercase) which no longer exists in the refactored module:

  • backend/src/controllers/communityFirebaseController.js (line 3 import, lines 137, 513, 700 usages)
  • backend/src/services/outreachQueue.js (line 8 import, line 33 usage)
  • backend/src/services/postScheduler.js (line 5 import, line 76 usage)
  • backend/src/services/jobAlertSocket.js (line 6 import, lines 15, 38, 62, 84, 105 usages)
  • backend/src/routes/community.js (lines 97, 119 dynamic imports, lines 98, 120 usages)

Additionally, backend/src/index.js (line 48) imports the old initializeSocket function (now exported as initSocket) and calls it at line 370, which will fail. Update all imports to use the new export names: initSocket instead of initializeSocket, and getIo instead of getIO.

Suggestion: socketOptions.js does not export a default value, so this default import will fail module loading with an import/export mismatch error. Import the named factory (e.g., createSocketOptions) and pass its returned object to Server instead. [api mismatch]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Backend server fails to start due to socketOptions import error.
- ❌ All REST and websocket features unavailable in all environments.

1. Start the backend server so that `backend/src/index.js` is executed; it imports `{
initializeSocket }` from `./config/socket.js` at `backend/src/index.js:48` (verified via
BulkRead).

2. During module linking, Node loads `backend/src/config/socket.js`, which executes the
statement `import socketOptions from './socketOptions.js';` at
`backend/src/config/socket.js:2`.

3. Node then loads `backend/src/config/socketOptions.js`, which only defines named exports
(`SOCKET_TRANSPORTS` at line 15, `getAllowedSocketOrigins` at 23, `isSocketOriginAllowed`
at 38, `createSocketOptions` at 52) and does not contain any `export default` (verified
via BulkRead of that file).

4. Because `socketOptions.js` has no default export, the ESM import in `socket.js:2` fails
with an error like "The requested module './socketOptions.js' does not provide an export
named 'default'", preventing `backend/src/index.js` from completing evaluation and
stopping the server from starting.

**Comment:**
	*Api Mismatch: `socketOptions.js` does not export a default value, so this default import will fail module loading with an import/export mismatch error. Import the named factory (e.g., `createSocketOptions`) and pass its returned object to `Server` instead.

Suggestion: The exported initializer name was changed to initSocket, but the app bootstrap imports initializeSocket; this breaks server startup because the named export no longer matches what callers import. Keep backward-compatible export naming or update all callers consistently. [api mismatch]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Socket server never initializes; real-time features completely disabled.
- ⚠️ Startup error masks deeper issues in socket handlers implementation.
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. `backend/src/index.js` imports the initializer as `import { initializeSocket } from
'./config/socket.js';` at line 48 (confirmed via BulkRead).

2. The implementation file `backend/src/config/socket.js` instead defines `export const
initSocket = (server) => { ... }` at line 6 and does not export any symbol named
`initializeSocket` (verified via BulkRead of that file).

3. When Node links `backend/src/index.js`, it attempts to resolve the named export
`initializeSocket` from `./config/socket.js`, but finds only `initSocket`, causing an ESM
import error: "The requested module './config/socket.js' does not provide an export named
'initializeSocket'".

4. This import/export mismatch occurs before `startServer()` (defined at
`backend/src/index.js:58`) can be executed, so the HTTP server is never initialized and no
Socket.IO listeners are registered.

Suggestion: The join handler destructures { proposalId } directly from the event payload, so a malformed emit (e.g., undefined/null) triggers a runtime TypeError before the handler can recover. Guard the payload shape before destructuring to avoid crashing handler execution on bad client input. [type error]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Malformed socket payload can crash Node process via uncaughtException.
- ⚠️ Single malicious client can repeatedly trigger backend denial-of-service.
- ⚠️ Reduces robustness against buggy or out-of-date socket clients.
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. The backend initializes Socket.IO by calling `initializeSocket(httpServer);` from
`startServer()` in `backend/src/index.js:111`, which invokes `initSocket` from
`backend/src/config/socket.js` (once the export name mismatch described in suggestion 2 is
corrected).

2. In `backend/src/config/socket.js`, the connection handler registers
`socket.on('proposal:join', ({ proposalId }) => { ... });` at line 13, destructuring
`proposalId` directly from the first argument without prior validation.

3. From any Socket.IO client (e.g., browser console using the Socket.IO client library),
connect to the server and emit a malformed event such as `socket.emit('proposal:join')` or
`socket.emit('proposal:join', null)`, so the handler receives `undefined`/`null` as its
first argument.

4. When the listener executes, it attempts to evaluate `({ proposalId }) => { ... }` with
an `undefined` argument, causing a `TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'proposalId' of
'undefined' as it is undefined`; this exception is not caught inside the handler and thus
triggers the global `process.on("uncaughtException", ...)` at
`backend/src/index.js:419-5`, which logs the error, closes `httpServer`, shuts down Redis
via `redisManager.shutdown()`, and exits the process, resulting in a full backend outage
from a single malformed socket event.

Suggestion: The getter export was renamed to getIo, while existing services/controllers import getIO; this will throw named export import errors and break all socket-based notifications and emits. Preserve the original export name or update every importer. [api mismatch]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Job post scheduler fails, breaking scheduled community feed publishing.
- ❌ Outreach queue worker crashes, outbound outreach progress not emitted.
- ⚠️ Community presence subscribe/unsubscribe endpoints throw when importing socket.
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. `backend/src/config/socket.js` currently defines the getter as `export const getIo = ()
=> { ... }` at line 32 (verified via BulkRead).

2. `backend/src/services/postScheduler.js` imports `getIO` (different casing) via `import
{ getIO } from '../config/socket.js';` at line 5, and
`backend/src/services/outreachQueue.js` does the same at line 8 (confirmed via BulkRead).

3. `backend/src/routes/community.js` dynamically imports the same name: `const { getIO } =
await import('../config/socket.js');` at lines 18 and 40 for the presence
subscribe/unsubscribe endpoints (confirmed via BulkRead).

4. On server startup, `backend/src/index.js` imports `initializePostScheduler` and
`startOutreachWorker` at lines 51 and 78, which in turn require `postScheduler.js` and
`outreachQueue.js`; ESM linking fails when those modules try to import the nonexistent
`getIO` export from `config/socket.js`, throwing "does not provide an export named
'getIO'" and blocking startup; even if startup somehow succeeded, any call to the
community presence endpoints would similarly fail at the dynamic import.
