🆕 Refresh Token Implementation Plan - New Authentication Enhancement

A comprehensive plan has been created to implement refresh tokens, background token renewal, and silent renewal in the Divemap application.

Current Authentication Issues:

  • Users get logged out every 30 minutes
  • No warning before session expiration
  • Poor user experience for long browsing sessions
  • No automatic token renewal
  • Security risk of storing long-lived tokens

Proposed Solution:

  • Dual Token System: Short-lived access tokens (15-30 min) + long-lived refresh tokens (7-30 days)
  • Background Token Renewal: Automatic renewal before expiration
  • Silent Renewal: No user interruption during renewal
  • Enhanced Security: Token rotation, revocation support, audit logging

Implementation Phases:

  • Phase 1: Backend infrastructure (database, token service, API endpoints)
  • Phase 2: Frontend implementation (enhanced AuthContext, API interceptors)
  • Phase 3: Security enhancements (token rotation, rate limiting, audit logging)
  • Phase 4: Testing and validation (unit, integration, frontend tests)
  • Phase 5: Deployment and monitoring (migrations, configuration, monitoring)

Expected Benefits:

  • User Experience: Reduce session interruptions from every 30 minutes to once per 30 days
  • Security: Enhanced token security with rotation and revocation
  • Performance: Background renewal without user interruption
  • Monitoring: Comprehensive audit logging and security monitoring

Refresh Token Documentation Created:

  • docs/development/refresh-token-implementation-plan.md - Complete implementation plan with code examples

The search algorithm has been significantly enhanced to address geographic field matching issues and improve code quality across all content types.

Problem Solved:

  • "anavys" search now properly finds "Anavissos Municipal Unit" city
  • Geographic queries work better with partial character matching
  • Code duplication eliminated through unified scoring functions

Key Improvements Implemented:

  • ✅ Enhanced Initial Database Query: Partial character matching for geographic fields
  • ✅ Unified Scoring System: Consistent scoring across all content types
  • ✅ Code Cleanup: Removed duplicate scoring functions
  • ✅ Better Geographic Matching: "anavys" → "Anavissos Municipal Unit" now works

Technical Changes:

  • Backend Enhancement: backend/app/routers/diving_centers.py updated with flexible matching
  • Partial Character Matching: Searches for first 4, 5, and 6 characters of search terms
  • Unified Scoring: All routers now use calculate_unified_phrase_aware_score from utils.py
  • Performance Maintained: No regression in search performance

Search Examples Now Working:

  • "anavys" → Returns both Aqualized (city: "Anavissos Municipal Unit") and Athens Divers Club
  • "scuba life" → Returns ScubaLife Diving Center first (business name priority)
  • Geographic queries → Better handling of partial city/region name matches

Search Algorithm Files Modified:

  • backend/app/routers/diving_centers.py: Enhanced search logic and code cleanup
  • docs/development/fuzzy-search-implementation-plan.md: CONSOLIDATED - Complete search documentation

Search Algorithm Documentation Created:

  • docs/development/fuzzy-search-implementation-plan.md - CONSOLIDATED - Single comprehensive guide to all search functionality
