✨ Why DSMNRU Archive?

Before (Modal-only)	After (Resource Hub)
PYQs in a list, preview in modal, no SEO	1 crawlable URL = 1 public paper (/pyq/<slug>) — server HTML, breadcrumb, JSON-LD; legacy paper.html?id=xxx still works
Search loads all docs every keystroke → hits 50K quota	Session + 15m cache → 0 reads on refresh/search, 12 reads for homepage vs N
Anon can scrape all PDFs	Login gate for Search / Filters / Load More / Preview — drives sign-ups, saves quota
Uploads via temporary hosts	gofile.io + admin review queue, image→PDF auto-merge (≤10 MB)
No feedback loop	Report Broken Link / Request PYQ → admin Feedback inbox

🚀 Quick Start

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/Lav-developer/PYQ.git
cd PYQ

# 2. Run (no build needed)
python -m http.server 8000
# or
npx serve .
# Visit http://localhost:8000
# Admin: http://localhost:8000/admin.html

PWA install needs HTTPS — works on localhost and Netlify, not on file://.

☁️ Cloudflare Worker API (new architecture)

Public data no longer flows directly from Firestore to the browser. All public reads (PYQ list, search, filters, paper detail, contributors, homepage, stats) go through a Cloudflare Worker that serves from the Cloudflare Cache API and Cloudflare KV, with Firestore as the source of truth. This keeps Firestore reads near zero under traffic.

Netlify Frontend → Cloudflare Worker → Edge Cache / KV → Firestore (only on cache miss)

• Worker code: worker/ (wrangler.toml, src/*, tests)
• Deployment & secrets: worker/README.md
• Full design, API reference, migration & rollback: ARCHITECTURE.md
• Firestore read simulation (OLD vs NEW): worker/test/performance-simulation.md
• The browser still uses the Firebase SDK only for user-scoped data (auth, profile, comments, feedback, uploads, view increments) and admin writes. PDFs remain on Archive.org / Catbox — untouched.

Run the Worker test suite:

cd worker
npm install
node test/worker.test.js        # 132 assertions, mocked Firestore

Frontend smoke tests (need jsdom):

cd worker
npm install --no-save jsdom
node test/frontend-smoke-test.cjs
node test/paper-smoke-test.cjs
node test/contribution-points-test.cjs   # 65 assertions — upload → pending → approve/reject → points
node test/duplicate-detection-test.cjs   # 45 assertions — title-led matching + admin hint UI
node test/admin-ia-test.cjs              # 68 assertions — sidebar IA, lazy loading, rewards
node test/duplicate-index-freshness-test.cjs  # 13 — exact-title regression (stale index)

🔧 Environment & Firebase Setup

1. Create Firebase project → Enable Auth (Email/Password + Google) → Firestore (test mode then apply rules below).

2. Copy config into script.js, admin.js, paper.js, admin.html:

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  storageBucket: "YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET",
  messagingSenderId: "YOUR_SENDER_ID",
  appId: "YOUR_APP_ID",
  measurementId: "YOUR_MEASUREMENT_ID"
};

3. Create collections: pyqs, users, contributors, pendingUploads, feedback, comments, meta (optional).

4. Create admin user in Auth, then in Firestore users/{uid} set role: "admin" and in Rules replace abc@gmail.com with your admin email.

5. Deploy rules:

firebase deploy --only firestore:rules
# or paste firestore.rules in Console → Firestore → Rules → Publish

---

📡 Data Model & Collections

pyqs — title (auto-generated Course Branch Sem Subject {Session}), file (Server1), file2 (Server2), course, semester, session, subject, branch, description, views (int), createdAt (timestamp)

users — uid, email/signupEmail, name/signupName, course/signupCourse, phone, role, emailVerified, createdAt, makeSubscriberSynced etc.

contributors — name, avatar (initials), role (PYQs Provider)

pendingUploads (PYQ submissions / review queue) — title, course, semester, studentName, studentCourse, studentEmail (normalized — the reward identity), email (same value, alias), userId, fileName, downloadUrl (gofile), fileSize, uploadedAt, status: 'pending' | 'approved' | 'rejected', reviewedAt, reviewedBy, reviewedByUid, rejectionReason, pointsAwarded, pointsTransactionId, pointsAmount

reward_accounts — doc id = normalized email with non-alphanumerics replaced by _ (rahul@gmail.com → rahul_gmail_com). Fields: email, points, uid (linked when the contributor signs up), createdAt, updatedAt

point_transactions — one document per rewarded submission (doc id = submission id): email, amount: 10, type: 'PYQ_UPLOAD_REWARD', submissionId, rewardAccountKey, uid, createdBy, createdAt. Because the doc id is the submission id, a submission can never be rewarded twice.

feedback — type (broken_link | pyq_request), status: 'new'|'resolved', title/course/details or course/subject/semester/session, email, userId, userEmail, createdAt

comments — paperId, text (3-600), userId, userName, userEmail, createdAt (also supports pyqs/{id}/comments subcollection fallback)

Local Storage: dsmnruStudyPlanner, dsmnruAttendance, dsmnruCgpaLast, profileCompletionDismissed, dsmnru_pyqs_full_v1 + dsmnru_pyqs_full_time_v1 (cache), dsmnru_pyqs_session_v1

🔐 Firestore Security Rules

See firestore.rules — key ideas:

function isAdminByEmail() { return auth.token.email == "YOUR_ADMIN@gmail.com"; }
function isVerified() { return auth.token.email_verified == true; }

// pyqs: public read, admin full write, verified can +1 views only
match /pyqs/{doc} {
  allow read: if true;
  allow create, delete: if isAdminByEmail();
  allow update: if isAdminByEmail() || (isVerified() && diff.hasOnly(['views']) && views+1);
}

// comments/feedback: create requires isVerified()
match /comments/{id} { allow read: true; allow create: if isVerified() && text 3-600 && userId==auth.uid; }
match /feedback/{id} { allow read: if isAdminByEmail(); allow create: if isVerified() && type in [...] && status=='new'; }

// pendingUploads (submissions): public create of a PENDING doc only — no sign-in,
// and a client can never write points / review state
match /pendingUploads/{doc} { allow read/update/delete: if isAdminByEmail(); allow create: if isValidPendingSubmission(); }

// points: admin-only writes; a student can read (and uid-link) their own reward data
match /reward_accounts/{key}  { allow read: if isAdminByEmail() || ownsRewardEmail(resource.data); allow create, delete: if isAdminByEmail(); allow update: if isAdminByEmail() || (uid-only self link); }
match /point_transactions/{id}{ allow read: if isAdminByEmail() || ownsRewardEmail(resource.data); allow create, update, delete: if isAdminByEmail(); }

⚠️ Set the real admin email in isAdminByEmail() before deploying.

Deploy after editing abc@gmail.com → your email.

📤 Student Upload Flow

1. Fill Help us grow → Your Name, Your Email (required), Title, Course/Sem, 1 PDF or N images (≤10 MB final). No sign-in needed.
2. Images → jsPDF 6 attempts (2000px→900px, 0.9→0.58 quality) → single PDF
3. PDF → https://api.gofile.io/servers → https://{server}.gofile.io/uploadFile → downloadPage URL (unchanged)
4. Metadata → pendingUploads (status: pending, email normalized to lowercase) → "Submission received — 10 points will be credited if approved"
5. Admin → Review Queue → Download → verify → Approve (+10 points, idempotent) or Reject (0 points)
6. Publishing stays manual: Quick Create → pyqs (approval never publishes)

---

🏆 PYQ Contribution Points

Earn 10 points for every approved PYQ. Points are currently being collected; redemption will be available in a future rewards update (they have no monetary value today).

Student uploads PDF + email   →   gofile temporary file (unchanged)
        ↓
pendingUploads doc  status = "pending"     ← public create, no sign-in
        ↓
Admin → Review Queue → Preview/Download (existing gofile link)
        ↓
Approve → status "approved" + reviewedAt/reviewedBy + 1 ledger entry + points += 10
Reject  → status "rejected" + reviewedAt/reviewedBy (+ optional reason) + 0 points
        ↓
Student profile → 🏆 PYQ Points + reward history

Email is the reward identity. Every email is normalized (trim + lowercase) by points.js — the single shared module loaded by both the public pages and the admin panel — so Rahul@gmail.com, rahul@gmail.com and RAHUL@GMAIL.COM all land on reward_accounts/rahul_gmail_com.

Works before an account exists. Points are stored on the email-based reward account, so a contributor who signs up later (email/password or Google) with the same email immediately sees every point already earned. On first profile load the account is linked to their uid — the rules allow a client to change only uid, never points.

Idempotent by design. The ledger document id is the submission id, and approval runs inside a single Firestore transaction that re-reads the ledger entry and the pointsAwarded flag. A second approval therefore adds +0 — there is no way for one submission to be rewarded twice, even with two admins clicking at once.

Rejected submissions never earn points, and an already-rewarded submission cannot be downgraded to rejected from the admin panel.

Security: only the admin (rules isAdminByEmail()) can read the review queue, change a status or write a balance. A public create is limited to a status: 'pending' document with a valid email and gofile URL, and may not contain any points or review field. Points are never sent from, or trusted on, the client.

Manual steps for this feature: deploy the updated firestore.rules (firebase deploy --only firestore:rules) after setting your real admin email in isAdminByEmail(). No collection has to be created by hand — Firestore creates reward_accounts / point_transactions on the first write. No data migration is required: submissions created before this feature have no status field and are treated as pending.

👨‍💼 Admin Guide

Login: admin.html → admin email → Dashboard. Non-admin auto sign-out. Authorization is unchanged: isAdminUser() probes an admin-only read and the Firestore rules (isAdminByEmail()) enforce every write.

Information architecture

A persistent sidebar replaces the old wall of dashboard cards. Each destination is a focused workspace; only the open view is rendered, and each one fetches its data the first time it is opened (lazy loading preserved — 0 reads on login).

Sidebar
  Dashboard                 KPIs + recent activity + shortcuts
  PYQ Management
    ├─ All PYQs             library, 0-read local search, edit/delete
    ├─ Add PYQ              the Quick Create form
    └─ Bulk Import          the CSV import form
  Review Queue              student submissions → Preview / Download / Approve +10 / Reject
  Contributors              contributor CRUD
  Users                     registered profiles + roles
  Feedback                  broken-link reports + PYQ requests
  Rewards                   points issued, ledger, balances (read-only)
  Settings                  session, Worker cache invalidation, CSV backup

Desktop keeps the sidebar pinned; below 992px it becomes a drawer behind a hamburger (.admin-nav-toggle) with a dismiss backdrop. Views are deep-linkable via the URL hash (admin.html#review) and the browser back button works.

Dashboard is an overview only — no management forms live there. It shows the 5 KPI cards, the submissions waiting for review, the most recently added PYQs, and [Add PYQ] [Bulk Import] [Review Pending] shortcuts. It performs exactly two reads: the bounded pendingUploads query (the action-critical one) and a cached GET /api/homepage for the PYQ total + recent papers (zero Firestore reads). User / contributor / feedback counts show — until their Load count action (or their section) fetches them.

All PYQs: local 0-read search → Edit (id-based) / Delete (id-based) / Copy Server 1/2.

Add PYQ: Course / Sem / Session / Subject / Branch → auto-title → Server 1 (+ Server 2) → Add PYQ.

Bulk Import: target pyqs / contributors → .csv (collection,id,title,Server 1,Server 2,course,semester,session) → Import (id → update, else add).

Review Queue: filters Pending / Approved / Rejected / All; each card shows title, uploader email, course, semester, time and status with [Approve +10] [Reject 0] [Preview] [Download] [Copy URL] [Delete]. Preview opens the temporary gofile page in a new tab.

⚠ Possible Existing PYQs: each pending card lists up to 5 similar published papers sorted by confidence, each with a [View] link. Matching is title-led (duplicate-check.js: normalized token overlap + a Levenshtein fallback — no AI, embeddings or external APIs); course and semester only raise or lower confidence when both records have them, a missing field is never a mismatch, and nothing is ever auto-excluded or auto-rejected. An identical normalized title always scores 100% and ranks #1, whatever the optional fields contain.

The candidate list is read from Firestore, the source of truth — it reuses the in-memory library when All PYQs is already open, otherwise it does one bounded pyqs read. The Worker's /api/pyqs is only a last-resort fallback (its KV index is rebuilt on invalidation or after a 7-day TTL, so it can silently omit a recently published paper); when the fallback is used the card says so. The index is dropped on every PYQ add/edit/delete/import, and Re-check duplicates re-reads on demand. The admin decides: same paper → Reject (0 points), different paper → Approve (+10 points).

Points: Approve runs one Firestore transaction — status → approved, reviewedAt / reviewedBy, a point_transactions ledger entry (id = submission id) and reward_accounts/{email} points += 10. Approving twice adds 0 the second time. Reject stores an optional reason and awards nothing. Approval never publishes the PYQ and never touches the temporary gofile file.

Rewards: read-only view over the points system — total points issued, contributors rewarded, how many balances are linked to a Firebase account, the 25 newest ledger entries and every balance sorted by points. No redemption, payout or withdrawal exists.

Contributors: Add (name → auto avatar) / Edit / Delete.

Users: Edit (name/course/phone/role) / Delete.

Feedback: filters All / Broken / Requests / New, Mark Resolved / Delete / Clear resolved + Refresh.

Settings: signed-in identity, Worker cache invalidation using the signed-in Firebase admin token, and database-backup.csv — all collections (pyqs, contributors, users, pendingUploads, feedback, comments) with every field, fresh from Firestore. The floating file-csv shortcut still works too.

---

🎨 Styling & Theme

Glassmorphism dark theme (styles.css tokens: --color-primary teal, --color-background charcoal, --color-surface card). All pages share Manrope + FKGroteskNeue, backdrop-filter: blur(14px), border-radius: 18-24px. Edit tokens in :root for theming.

---

📱 PWA & Offline

• sw.js v5 caches /, /index.html, /paper.html, /styles.css, /script.js, /paper.js, courses.json, manifest.json
• manifest.json → standalone, theme #0f172a, emoji icons
• Install via Chrome address bar → offline after first load (Firestore persistence + Cache API)

---

🔍 SEO & Performance

• Server-rendered public URL per paper (/pyq/<slug>) with unique title/description, index/follow, canonical, Open Graph, Twitter, public H1, breadcrumbs, related links, and LearningResource + breadcrumb JSON-LD
• Dynamic sitemap.xml from the public KV search index, plus robots.txt (allows /pyq/, disallows the admin/API surfaces)
• Legacy paper.html?id=xxx links remain functional and hydrate a pretty canonical URL when the warm public index supplies it; crawler hydration on /pyq/ does not trigger automatic direct-Firestore view/comment work
• Lighthouse: inline skeletons, content-visibility ready, loading="lazy" on iframes

---

⚡ Caching & Quota Saving (50K Reads)

Problem (OLD): pyqs.get() from the browser on every search = N reads × searches → hits 50K/day.

Fix (NEW): the browser calls the Cloudflare Worker API instead of reading Firestore. The Worker serves public data from the Cloudflare Cache API (edge, whole responses) and KV (compact search index, per-item docs, contributors, courses, homepage) with Firestore only touched on cache miss.

• Browse/Search/Filters: served from the Worker's KV search index — 0 Firestore reads for every user once the index is warm. The index is refreshed by admin invalidation (POST /api/invalidate) — a 7-day hard-TTL acts only as a safety fallback. There is no aggressive short-cycle rebuild.
• Paper detail: KV-cached per item (1 h); 1 read only on a genuine first-item miss, then 0 for everyone else. After an admin invalidation, an older item entry is intentionally revalidated once before reuse so a newly private paper cannot be served from a pre-change cache.
• Contributors: KV-cached (1 h); 1 read per hour
• Homepage (recent/trending/course counts/stats): KV-cached (5 min)
• Admin invalidation: POST /api/invalidate carries the signed-in Firebase ID token. The Worker verifies its signature, Firebase issuer/audience, and admin: true custom claim; there is no browser-visible static key. The next request serves the stale index while a single-flight background rebuild (ctx.waitUntil) runs via the Worker.
• View increments / comments / feedback / uploads / auth: still direct Firestore (user-scoped writes or ≤30-doc scoped reads — not full collections)

Pagination correctness uses a composite cursor ([primaryFieldValue, __name__]) so duplicate primary orderBy values (e.g. views) never skip or duplicate rows across pages.

See worker/test/performance-simulation.md for the read-count table (311 → 10,000 PYQs, 100 users).

---

🛡️ Auth & Verification

• isGoogleUser() → Google considered verified
• requiresEmailVerification(user) = !isGoogleUser && !emailVerified
• Enforced: Search/Filters/Load More/paper preview/comment/upload/report all check isVerifiedOrPrompt() → shows blocking overlay + static modal (backdrop:'static', keyboard:false, re-shows if dismissed) with Resend / I verified — Check / Use different email (deletes unverified account)
• Server: isVerified() in firestore.rules for all writes

---

🧪 Development Workflow

# Add feature
# 1. UI → index.html / paper.html / admin.html
# 2. Logic → script.js / paper.js / admin.js (keep id-based, not index)
# 3. Style → styles.css (tokens)
# 4. Test locally + check Firestore rules
# 5. Bump sw.js CACHE_NAME if caching changed

---

🚨 Common Issues

• Admin can't delete → permission-denied → check firestore.rules admin email + ensure logged in as admin (pendingUploads read test)
• Verification bypassed → ensure firestore.rules published and hard-refresh (old rules cached)
• Homepage blank → was bookmark tab null error → fixed in 5b38bd3 (guarded), hard-refresh
• Comment prompt always visible → was d-flex !important + duplicate style → fixed in 50347a8
• Paper jumps to archive.org → fixed in d7d63be → Server 1/2 now load inline on same site
• Counts 0 in admin → intentional lazy — expand a section to fetch

---

🎯 Roadmap

• Paper Detail SEO + same-site preview
• Feedback inbox
• Cache + gates
• Lazy admin
• Rating & reviews
• Solution uploads
• Discussion forum
• Mobile app (TWA)
• i18n
