fix: scroll to top on locale switch and remove dashes from hero text

- HeaderClient: track locale prop changes with useRef and call
  window.scrollTo on switch to reliably reset scroll position
- messages/en.json + de.json: replace em dash with comma and remove
  hyphens from Self-Hoster/Full-Stack in hero description

+
+## Stack you own
+- **Next.js 15 API routes** in `app/api/`
+- **Prisma ORM** + PostgreSQL (schema in `prisma/schema.prisma`)
+- **Directus GraphQL** via `lib/directus.ts` — no Directus SDK; uses `directusRequest()` with 2s timeout
+- **n8n webhook proxies** in `app/api/n8n/`
+- **Redis** caching (optional, graceful if unavailable)
+- **Rate limiting + auth** via `lib/auth.ts`
+
+## File ownership
+`app/api/`, `lib/`, `prisma/`, `scripts/`
+
+## API route conventions (always required)
+```typescript
+export const runtime = 'nodejs'
+export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'
+```
+Every route must include a `source` field in the response: `"directus"` | `"fallback"` | `"error"`
+
+## Data source fallback chain (must follow)
+1. Directus CMS (if `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN` set) → 2. PostgreSQL → 3. `messages/*.json` → 4. Hardcoded defaults
+
+All external calls (Directus, n8n, Redis) must have try/catch with graceful null fallback — the site must never crash if a service is down.
+
+## When implementing a feature
+1. Read `lib/directus.ts` to check for existing GraphQL query patterns
+2. Add GraphQL query + TypeScript types to `lib/directus.ts` for new Directus collections
+3. All POST/PUT endpoints need input validation
+4. n8n proxies need rate limiting and 10s timeout
+5. Error logging: `if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "development") console.error(...)`
+6. Run `npm run build` to verify TypeScript compiles without errors
+7. After schema changes, run `npm run db:generate`
+
+## Directus collections
+`tech_stack_categories`, `tech_stack_items`, `hobbies`, `content_pages`, `projects`, `book_reviews`
+Locale mapping: `en` → `en-US`, `de` → `de-DE`

+You are a senior code reviewer for Dennis Konkol's portfolio (dk0.dev). You are read-only — you report issues but do not fix them.
+
+## When invoked
+1. Run `git diff HEAD` to see all recent changes
+2. For each modified file, read it fully before commenting
+3. Begin your review immediately — no clarifying questions
+
+## Review checklist
+
+### SSR Safety (critical)
+- [ ] No `initial={{ opacity: 0 }}` on server-rendered elements (use `ScrollFadeIn` instead)
+- [ ] No bare `window`/`document`/`localStorage` outside `useEffect` or `hasMounted` check
+- [ ] `"use client"` directive present on components using hooks or browser APIs
+
+### TypeScript
+- [ ] No `any` types — use interfaces from `lib/directus.ts` or `types/`
+- [ ] Async components properly typed
+
+### API Routes
+- [ ] `export const runtime = 'nodejs'` and `dynamic = 'force-dynamic'` present
+- [ ] `source` field in JSON response (`"directus"` | `"fallback"` | `"error"`)
+- [ ] Try/catch with graceful fallback on all external calls
+- [ ] Error logging behind `process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"` guard
+
+### Design System
+- [ ] Only `liquid-*` color tokens used, no hardcoded colors
+- [ ] Body text uses `text-stone-600 dark:text-stone-400` (not `text-stone-400` alone)
+- [ ] New async components have a Skeleton loading state
+
+### i18n
+- [ ] New user-facing strings added to both `messages/en.json` AND `messages/de.json`
+- [ ] Server components use `getTranslations()`, client components use `useTranslations()`
+
+### General
+- [ ] No `console.error` outside dev guard
+- [ ] No emojis in code
+- [ ] Commit messages follow Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+
+## Output format
+Group findings by severity:
+- **Critical** — must fix before merge (SSR invisibility, security, crashes)
+- **Warning** — should fix (TypeScript issues, missing fallbacks)
+- **Suggestion** — nice to have
+
+Include file path, line number, and concrete fix example for each issue.

+You are an expert debugger for Dennis Konkol's portfolio (dk0.dev). You specialize in root cause analysis — fix the cause, not the symptom.
+
+## Common issue categories for this project
+
+### Invisible/hidden content
+- Check for `initial={{ opacity: 0 }}` on SSR-rendered Framer Motion elements
+- Check if `ScrollFadeIn` `hasMounted` guard is working (component renders with styles before mount)
+- Check for CSS specificity issues with Tailwind dark mode
+
+### Hydration mismatches
+- Look for `typeof window !== "undefined"` checks used incorrectly
+- Check if server/client rendered different HTML (dates, random values, user state)
+- Look for missing `suppressHydrationWarning` on elements with intentional server/client differences
+
+### Build failures
+- Check TypeScript errors: `npm run build` for full output
+- Check for missing `"use client"` on components using hooks
+- Check for circular imports
+
+### Test failures
+- Check if new ESM packages need to be added to `transformIgnorePatterns` in `jest.config.ts`
+- Verify mocks in `jest.setup.ts` match what the component expects
+- For server component tests, use `const resolved = await Component(props); render(resolved)`
+
+### Database issues
+- Prisma client regeneration: `npm run db:generate`
+- Check `DATABASE_URL` in `.env.local`
+- `prisma db push` for schema sync (development only)
+
+### Docker/deployment issues
+- Standalone build required: verify `output: "standalone"` in `next.config.ts`
+- Check `scripts/start-with-migrate.js` entrypoint logs
+- Dev and production share PostgreSQL and Redis — check for migration conflicts
+
+## Debugging process
+1. Read the full error including stack trace
+2. Run `git log --oneline -5` and `git diff HEAD~1` to check recent changes
+3. Form a hypothesis before touching any code
+4. Make the minimal fix that addresses the root cause
+5. Verify: `npm run build && npm run test`
+6. Explain: root cause, fix applied, prevention strategy

+
+Add a new CMS-managed section called "$ARGUMENTS" to the portfolio.
+
+Follow the exact 6-step pattern from CLAUDE.md:
+
+**Step 1 — lib/directus.ts**
+Read `lib/directus.ts` first, then add:
+- TypeScript interface for the new collection
+- `directusRequest()` GraphQL query for the collection (with translation support if needed)
+- Export the fetch function
+
+**Step 2 — API Route**
+Create `app/api/$ARGUMENTS/route.ts`:
+- `export const runtime = 'nodejs'`
+- `export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'`
+- Try Directus first, fallback to hardcoded defaults
+- Include `source: "directus" | "fallback" | "error"` in response
+- Error logging behind `process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"` guard
+
+**Step 3 — Component**
+Create `app/components/$ARGUMENTS.tsx`:
+- `"use client"` directive
+- Skeleton loading state for the async data
+- Tailwind liquid-* tokens for styling (cards: `bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15 backdrop-blur-sm border-2 rounded-xl`)
+- Headline uppercase with tracking-tighter and emerald accent dot
+
+**Step 4 — i18n**
+Add translation keys to both:
+- `messages/en.json`
+- `messages/de.json`
+
+**Step 5 — Client Wrapper**
+Add `${ARGUMENTS}Client` to `app/components/ClientWrappers.tsx`:
+- Wrap in scoped `NextIntlClientProvider` with only the needed translation namespace
+
+**Step 6 — Homepage Integration**
+Add to `app/_ui/HomePageServer.tsx`:
+- Fetch translations in the existing `Promise.all`
+- Render wrapped in `<ScrollFadeIn>`
+
+After implementation:
+- Run `npm run lint` — must be 0 errors
+- Run `npm run build` — must compile successfully
+- Report what was created and any manual steps remaining (e.g., creating the Directus collection)

+# Portfolio Project Instructions
+
+Dennis Konkol's portfolio (dk0.dev) — Next.js 15, Directus CMS, n8n automation, "Liquid Editorial Bento" design system.
+
+## Build, Test, and Lint
+
+```bash
+npm run dev:next           # Plain Next.js dev server (no Docker)
+npm run build              # Production build (standalone mode)
+npm run lint               # ESLint (0 errors required, warnings OK)
+npm run lint:fix           # Auto-fix lint issues
+npm run test               # All Jest unit tests
+npx jest path/to/test.tsx  # Run a single test file
+npm run test:watch         # Watch mode
+npm run test:e2e           # Playwright E2E tests
+npm run db:generate        # Regenerate Prisma client after schema changes
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Server/Client Component Split
+
+The homepage uses a **server component orchestrator** pattern:
+
+- `app/_ui/HomePageServer.tsx` — async server component, fetches all translations in parallel via `Promise.all`, renders Hero directly, wraps client sections in `ScrollFadeIn`
+- `app/components/Hero.tsx` — **server component** (no `"use client"`), uses `getTranslations()` from `next-intl/server`
+- `app/components/ClientWrappers.tsx` — exports `AboutClient`, `ProjectsClient`, `ContactClient`, `FooterClient`, each wrapping their component in a scoped `NextIntlClientProvider` with only the needed translation keys
+- `app/components/ClientProviders.tsx` — root client wrapper, defers Three.js/WebGL via `requestIdleCallback` (5s timeout) to avoid blocking LCP
+
+### SSR Animation Safety
+
+**Never use Framer Motion's `initial={{ opacity: 0 }}` on SSR-rendered elements** — it bakes `style="opacity:0"` into HTML, making content invisible if hydration fails.
+
+Use `ScrollFadeIn` component instead (`app/components/ScrollFadeIn.tsx`): renders no inline style during SSR (content visible by default), applies opacity+transform only after `hasMounted` check, animates via IntersectionObserver + CSS transitions.
+
+Framer Motion `AnimatePresence` is fine for modals/overlays that only render after user interaction.
+
+### Data Source Fallback Chain
+
+Every data fetch degrades gracefully — the site never crashes:
+
+1. **Directus CMS** → 2. **PostgreSQL** → 3. **JSON files** (`messages/*.json`) → 4. **Hardcoded defaults** → 5. **i18n key itself**
+
+### CMS Integration (Directus)
+
+- GraphQL via `lib/directus.ts` — no Directus SDK, uses `directusRequest()` with 2s timeout
+- Returns `null` on failure (never throws)
+- Locale mapping: `en` → `en-US`, `de` → `de-DE`
+- API routes must export `runtime = 'nodejs'`, `dynamic = 'force-dynamic'`, and return `source` field (`directus|fallback|error`)
+
+### n8n Integration
+
+- Webhook proxies in `app/api/n8n/` (status, chat, hardcover, generate-image)
+- Auth: `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` and/or `N8N_API_KEY` headers
+- All endpoints have rate limiting and 10s timeout
+- Hardcover reading data cached 5 minutes
+
+## Key Conventions
+
+### i18n
+
+- Locales: `en`, `de` — defined in `middleware.ts`, must match `app/[locale]/layout.tsx`
+- Client components: `useTranslations("key.path")` from `next-intl`
+- Server components: `getTranslations("key.path")` from `next-intl/server`
+- Always add keys to both `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+
+### Design System
+
+- Custom Tailwind colors: `liquid-sky`, `liquid-mint`, `liquid-lavender`, `liquid-pink`, `liquid-rose`, `liquid-peach`, `liquid-coral`, `liquid-teal`, `liquid-lime`
+- Cards: `bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15` with `backdrop-blur-sm`, `border-2`, `rounded-xl`
+- Typography: Headlines uppercase, `tracking-tighter`, accent dot at end (`<span className="text-emerald-600">.</span>`)
+- Layout: Bento Grid, no floating overlays
+- Accessibility: Use `text-stone-600 dark:text-stone-400` (not `text-stone-400`) for body text — contrast ratio must be ≥4.5:1
+
+### Code Style
+
+- TypeScript: no `any` — use interfaces from `lib/directus.ts` or `types/`
+- Error logging: `console.error` only when `process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"`
+- File naming: PascalCase components (`About.tsx`), kebab-case API routes (`book-reviews/`), kebab-case lib utils
+- Commit messages: Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+- Every async component needs a Skeleton loading state
+
+### Testing
+
+- Jest with JSDOM; mocks for `window.matchMedia` and `IntersectionObserver` in `jest.setup.ts`
+- ESM modules transformed via `transformIgnorePatterns` (react-markdown, remark-*, etc.)
+- Server component tests: `const resolved = await Component({ props }); render(resolved)`
+- Test mocks for `next/image`: use `eslint-disable-next-line @next/next/no-img-element` on the `<img>` tag
+
+### Docker & Deployment
+
+- `output: "standalone"` in `next.config.ts`
+- Entrypoint: `scripts/start-with-migrate.js` — waits for DB, runs migrations (non-fatal on failure), starts server
+- CI/CD: `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — `test-build` job (all branches), `deploy-dev` (dev only), `deploy-production` (production only)
+- Branches: `dev` → testing.dk0.dev, `production` → dk0.dev
+- Dev and production share the same PostgreSQL and Redis instances
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding a CMS-managed section
+
+1. Define GraphQL query + types in `lib/directus.ts`
+2. Create API route in `app/api/<name>/route.ts` with `runtime='nodejs'` and `dynamic='force-dynamic'`
+3. Create component in `app/components/<Name>.tsx` with Skeleton loading state
+4. Add i18n keys to both `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+5. Create a `<Name>Client` wrapper in `ClientWrappers.tsx` with scoped `NextIntlClientProvider`
+6. Add to `HomePageServer.tsx` wrapped in `ScrollFadeIn`

+
+## Project Overview
+
+Personal portfolio website for Dennis Konkol (dk0.dev). Built with Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion. Uses a "Liquid Editorial Bento" design system with soft gradient colors and glassmorphism effects.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Framework**: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript 5.9, React 19
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS 3.4 with custom `liquid-*` color tokens
+- **Theming**: `next-themes` for Dark Mode support (system/light/dark)
+- **Animations**: Framer Motion 12
+- **3D**: Three.js + React Three Fiber + `@shadergradient/react` (shader gradient background)
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL via Prisma ORM
+- **Cache**: Redis (optional)
+- **CMS**: Directus (self-hosted, GraphQL only, optional)
+- **Automation**: n8n webhooks (status, chat, hardcover, image generation)
+- **i18n**: next-intl (EN + DE), message files in `messages/`
+- **Deployment**: Docker + Nginx, CI via Gitea Actions (`output: "standalone"`)
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+npm run dev          # Full dev environment (Docker + Next.js)
+npm run dev:simple   # Next.js only (no Docker)
+npm run dev:next     # Plain Next.js dev server
+npm run build        # Production build
+npm run lint         # ESLint (0 errors required, warnings OK)
+npm run lint:fix     # Auto-fix lint issues
+npm run test         # All Jest unit tests
+npx jest path/to/test.tsx  # Run a single test file
+npm run test:watch   # Watch mode
+npm run test:e2e     # Playwright E2E tests
+npm run db:generate  # Regenerate Prisma client after schema changes
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Server/Client Component Split
+
+The homepage uses a **server component orchestrator** pattern:
+
+- `app/_ui/HomePageServer.tsx` — async server component, fetches all translations in parallel via `Promise.all`, renders Hero directly, wraps below-fold sections in `ScrollFadeIn`
+- `app/components/Hero.tsx` — **server component** (no `"use client"`), uses `getTranslations()` from `next-intl/server`
+- `app/components/ClientWrappers.tsx` — exports `AboutClient`, `ProjectsClient`, `ContactClient`, `FooterClient`; each wraps its component in a scoped `NextIntlClientProvider` with only the needed translation namespace
+- `app/components/ClientProviders.tsx` — root client wrapper, defers Three.js/WebGL via `requestIdleCallback` (5s timeout) to avoid blocking LCP
+
+### SSR Animation Safety
+
+**Never use Framer Motion's `initial={{ opacity: 0 }}` on SSR-rendered elements** — it bakes `style="opacity:0"` into HTML, making content invisible if JS hydration fails or is slow.
+
+Use `ScrollFadeIn` (`app/components/ScrollFadeIn.tsx`) instead: renders no inline style during SSR, applies opacity+transform only after `hasMounted` check via IntersectionObserver + CSS transitions.
+
+`AnimatePresence` is fine for modals/overlays that only render after user interaction.
+
+### Data Source Fallback Chain
+
+Every data fetch degrades gracefully — the site never crashes:
+
+1. **Directus CMS** (if `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN` configured) → 2. **PostgreSQL** → 3. **JSON files** (`messages/*.json`) → 4. **Hardcoded defaults** → 5. **i18n key itself**
+
+### CMS Integration (Directus)
+
+- GraphQL via `lib/directus.ts` — no Directus SDK, uses `directusRequest()` with 2s timeout
+- Returns `null` on failure, never throws
+- Collections: `tech_stack_categories`, `tech_stack_items`, `hobbies`, `content_pages`, `projects`, `book_reviews`
+- Translations use Directus native M2O system; locale mapping: `en` → `en-US`, `de` → `de-DE`
+- API routes must export `runtime = 'nodejs'`, `dynamic = 'force-dynamic'`, and include a `source` field in the response (`"directus"` | `"fallback"` | `"error"`)
+
+### n8n Integration
+
+- Webhook proxies in `app/api/n8n/` (status, chat, hardcover, generate-image)
+- Auth via `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` and/or `N8N_API_KEY` headers
+- All endpoints have rate limiting and 10s timeout
+- Hardcover reading data cached 5 minutes
+
+## Design System
+
+Custom Tailwind colors prefixed with `liquid-`:
+- `liquid-sky`, `liquid-mint`, `liquid-lavender`, `liquid-pink`
+- `liquid-rose`, `liquid-peach`, `liquid-coral`, `liquid-teal`, `liquid-lime`
+
+Cards: `bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15` with `backdrop-blur-sm`, `border-2`, `rounded-xl`.
+
+Typography: Headlines uppercase, `tracking-tighter`, accent dot at end (`<span className="text-emerald-600">.</span>`).
+
+Accessibility: Use `text-stone-600 dark:text-stone-400` (not `text-stone-400` alone) for body text — contrast ratio must be ≥4.5:1.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- **TypeScript**: No `any` — use interfaces from `lib/directus.ts` or `types/`
+- **Components**: PascalCase files in `app/components/`; every async component needs a Skeleton loading state
+- **API routes**: kebab-case directories in `app/api/`
+- **i18n**: Always add keys to both `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`; `useTranslations()` in client, `getTranslations()` in server components
+- **Error logging**: `console.error` only when `process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"`
+- **Commit messages**: Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+- **No emojis** in code unless explicitly requested
+
+## Testing Notes
+
+- Jest with JSDOM; `jest.setup.ts` mocks `window.matchMedia`, `IntersectionObserver`, and `NextResponse`
+- ESM modules (react-markdown, remark-*, etc.) handled via `transformIgnorePatterns` in `jest.config.ts`
+- Server component tests: `const resolved = await Component({ props }); render(resolved)`
+- Test mocks for `next/image`: use `eslint-disable-next-line @next/next/no-img-element` on the `<img>` tag
+
+## Deployment & CI/CD
+
+- `output: "standalone"` in `next.config.ts`
+- Entrypoint: `scripts/start-with-migrate.js` — waits for DB, runs migrations (non-fatal), starts server
+- CI/CD: `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — `test-build` (all branches), `deploy-dev` (dev branch only), `deploy-production` (production branch only)
+- **Branches**: `dev` → testing.dk0.dev | `production` → dk0.dev
+- Dev and production share the same PostgreSQL and Redis instances
+
+## Key Environment Variables

+
+## Adding a CMS-managed Section
+
+1. Define GraphQL query + types in `lib/directus.ts`
+2. Create API route `app/api/<name>/route.ts` with `runtime='nodejs'`, `dynamic='force-dynamic'`, and `source` field in response
+3. Create component `app/components/<Name>.tsx` with Skeleton loading state
+4. Add i18n keys to both `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+5. Create `<Name>Client` wrapper in `app/components/ClientWrappers.tsx` with scoped `NextIntlClientProvider`
+6. Add to `app/_ui/HomePageServer.tsx` wrapped in `<ScrollFadeIn>`

+
+## Wie du es in Directus eingeben kannst:
+
+### Schritt 1: messages Collection
+1. Gehe in Directus → **messages**.
+2. Klick "Create New" (oder "+").
+3. Füll aus:
+   - **key**: z. B. "nav.home"
+   - **locale**: Dropdown → "en" oder "de"
+   - **value**: Der Text (z. B. "Home")
+4. Speichern. Wiederholen für alle Keys oben.
+
+### Schritt 2: content_pages Collection
+1. Gehe in Directus → **content_pages**.
+2. Klick "Create New".
+3. Füll aus:
+   - **slug**: z. B. "home-hero"
+   - **locale**: "en" oder "de"
+   - **title** (optional): "Hero Section" oder leer
+   - **content**: Markdown/Rich Text eingeben
+4. Speichern. Wiederholen für andere Seiten.
+
+---
+
+## Im Code: Texte nutzen
+
+### Kurze Keys (aus messages):
+```tsx
+import { getLocalizedMessage } from '@/lib/i18n-loader';
+
+const text = await getLocalizedMessage('nav.home', locale);
+// text = "Home" (oder fallback aus JSON)
+```
+
+### Längere Inhalte (aus content_pages):
+```tsx
+import { getLocalizedContent } from '@/lib/i18n-loader';
+
+const page = await getLocalizedContent('home-hero', locale);
+// page.content = "Längerer Fließtext..."
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick-Test:
+
+1. Lege in Directus **einen** Key in messages an:
+   - key: "test"
+   - locale: "en"
+   - value: "Hello from Directus"
+
+2. Im Code:
+   ```tsx
+   const text = await getLocalizedMessage('test', 'en');
+   console.log(text); // sollte "Hello from Directus" loggen
+   ```
+
+3. Wenn das funktioniert: Alle anderen Keys eintragen!
+
+---
+
+## Hinweise:
+
+- **Keys** sollten mit `.` strukturiert sein (z. B. `nav.home`, `home.about.title`).
+- **Locale** ist immer "en" oder "de" (enum).
+- **Fallback**: Wenn ein Key in Directus fehlt, nutzt der Code die `messages/*.json` Dateien.
+- **Caching**: Texte werden 5 Minuten gecacht. Um Cache zu leeren: `clearI18nCache()` im Code oder Server restart.
+- **Rich Text**: Im `content_pages` Feld kannst du Markdown oder den Rich-Text-Editor nutzen.
+
+Viel Spaß! 🚀

+- **Bento Grid:** Neue Features sollten immer in das bestehende Grid integriert werden. Keine schwebenden Overlays.
+- **Skeletons:** Jede asynchrone Komponente benötigt einen passenden `Skeleton` Ladezustand.
+- **Typography:** Headlines immer uppercase, tracking-tighter, mit Akzent-Punkt am Ende.
+
+### 2. Implementation Rules
+- **TypeScript:** Keine `any`. Nutze bestehende Interfaces in `lib/directus.ts` oder `app/_ui/`.
+- **Resilience:** Alle API-Calls müssen Fehler abfangen und sinnvolle Fallbacks (oder Skeletons) anzeigen.
+- **Next.js Standalone:** Das Projekt nutzt den `standalone` Build-Mode. Docker-Builds müssen immer verifiziert werden.
+
+### 3. Agent Instructions
+- **Codebase Investigator:** Nutze dieses Tool für Architektur-Fragen.
+- **Testing:** Führe `npm run test` nach UI-Änderungen aus. Achte auf JSDOM-Einschränkungen (Mocking von `window.matchMedia` und `IntersectionObserver`).
+- **CMS First:** Texte sollten nach Möglichkeit aus der `messages` Collection in Directus kommen, nicht hartcodiert werden.
+
+## Current State
+- **Branch:** `dev` (pushed)
+- **Status:** Design Overhaul abgeschlossen, Build stabil, Docker verifiziert.

-# 🚀 Safe Push to Main Branch Guide
-
-**IMPORTANT**: This guide ensures you don't break production when merging to main.
-
-## ⚠️ Pre-Flight Checklist
-
-Before even thinking about pushing to main, verify ALL of these:
-
-### 1. Code Quality ✅
-```bash
-# Run all checks
-npm run build          # Must pass with 0 errors
-npm run lint           # Must pass with 0 errors
-npx tsc --noEmit       # TypeScript must be clean
-npx prisma format      # Database schema must be valid
-```
-
-### 1b. Automated Testing ✅
-```bash
-# Run comprehensive test suite (RECOMMENDED)
-npm run test:all       # Runs all tests including E2E
-
-# Or run individually:
-npm run test           # Unit tests
-npm run test:critical  # Critical path E2E tests
-npm run test:hydration # Hydration tests
-npm run test:email     # Email API tests
-```
-
-### 2. Testing ✅
-```bash
-# Automated testing (RECOMMENDED)
-npm run test:all       # Runs all automated tests
-
-# Manual testing (if needed)
-npm run dev
-# Test these critical paths:
-# - Home page loads
-# - Projects page works
-# - Admin dashboard accessible
-# - API endpoints respond
-# - No console errors
-# - No hydration errors
-```
-
-### 3. Database Changes ✅
-```bash
-# If you changed the database schema:
-# 1. Create migration
-npx prisma migrate dev --name your_migration_name
-
-# 2. Test migration on a copy of production data
-# 3. Document migration steps
-# 4. Create rollback plan
-```
-
-### 4. Environment Variables ✅
-- [ ] All new env vars documented in `env.example`
-- [ ] No secrets committed to git
-- [ ] Production env vars are set on server
-- [ ] Optional features have fallbacks
-
-### 5. Breaking Changes ✅
-- [ ] Documented in CHANGELOG
-- [ ] Backward compatible OR migration plan exists
-- [ ] Team notified of changes
-
----
-
-## 📋 Step-by-Step Push Process
-
-### Step 1: Ensure You're on Dev Branch
-```bash
-git checkout dev
-git pull origin dev  # Get latest changes
-```
-
-### Step 2: Final Verification
-```bash
-# Clean build
-rm -rf .next node_modules/.cache
-npm install
-npm run build
-
-# Should complete without errors
-```
-
-### Step 3: Review Your Changes
-```bash
-# See what you're about to push
-git log origin/main..dev --oneline
-git diff origin/main..dev
-
-# Review carefully:
-# - No accidental secrets
-# - No debug code
-# - No temporary files
-# - All changes are intentional
-```
-
-### Step 4: Create a Backup Branch (Safety Net)
-```bash
-# Create backup before merging
-git checkout -b backup-before-main-merge-$(date +%Y%m%d)
-git push origin backup-before-main-merge-$(date +%Y%m%d)
-git checkout dev
-```
-
-### Step 5: Merge Dev into Main (Local)
-```bash
-# Switch to main
-git checkout main
-git pull origin main  # Get latest main
-
-# Merge dev into main
-git merge dev --no-ff -m "Merge dev into main: [describe changes]"
-
-# If conflicts occur:
-# 1. Resolve conflicts carefully
-# 2. Test after resolving
-# 3. Don't force push if unsure
-```
-
-### Step 6: Test the Merged Code
-```bash
-# Build and test the merged code
-npm run build
-npm run dev
-
-# Test critical paths again
-# - Home page
-# - Projects
-# - Admin
-# - APIs
-```
-
-### Step 7: Push to Main (If Everything Looks Good)
-```bash
-# Push to remote main
-git push origin main
-
-# If you need to force push (DANGEROUS - only if necessary):
-# git push origin main --force-with-lease
-```
-
-### Step 8: Monitor Deployment
-```bash
-# Watch your deployment logs
-# Check for errors
-# Verify health endpoints
-# Test production site
-```
-
----
-
-## 🛡️ Safety Strategies
-
-### Strategy 1: Feature Flags
-If you're adding new features, use feature flags:
-```typescript
-// In your code
-if (process.env.ENABLE_NEW_FEATURE === 'true') {
-  // New feature code
-}
-```
-
-### Strategy 2: Gradual Rollout
-- Deploy to staging first
-- Test thoroughly
-- Then deploy to production
-- Monitor closely
-
-### Strategy 3: Database Migrations
-```bash
-# Always test migrations first
-# 1. Backup production database
-# 2. Test migration on copy
-# 3. Create rollback script
-# 4. Run migration during low-traffic period
-```
-
-### Strategy 4: Rollback Plan
-Always have a rollback plan:
-```bash
-# If something breaks:
-git revert HEAD
-git push origin main
-
-# Or rollback to previous commit:
-git reset --hard <previous-commit-hash>
-git push origin main --force-with-lease
-```
-

-- ❌ Tests fail
-- ❌ Linter errors
-- ❌ TypeScript errors
-- ❌ Database migration not tested
-- ❌ Breaking changes not documented
-- ❌ Secrets in code
-- ❌ Debug code left in

-
----
-
-## 🔄 Alternative: Pull Request Workflow
-
-If you want extra safety, use PR workflow:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Push dev branch
-git push origin dev
-
-# 2. Create Pull Request on Git platform
-# - Review changes
-# - Get approval
-# - Run CI/CD checks
-
-# 3. Merge PR to main (platform handles it)
-```
-
----
-
-## 🆘 Emergency Rollback
-
-If production breaks after push:
-
-### Quick Rollback
-```bash
-# 1. Revert the merge commit
-git revert -m 1 <merge-commit-hash>
-git push origin main
-
-# 2. Or reset to previous state
-git reset --hard <previous-commit>
-git push origin main --force-with-lease
-```
-
-### Database Rollback
-```bash
-# If you ran migrations, roll them back:
-npx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back <migration-name>
-
-# Or restore from backup
-```
-
----

-# 🔒 Security Improvements
-
-## Implemented Security Features
-
-### 1. n8n API Endpoint Protection
-
-All n8n endpoints are now protected with:
-- **Authentication**: Admin authentication required for sensitive endpoints (`/api/n8n/generate-image`)
-- **Rate Limiting**: 
-  - `/api/n8n/generate-image`: 10 requests/minute
-  - `/api/n8n/chat`: 20 requests/minute
-  - `/api/n8n/status`: 30 requests/minute
-
-### 2. Email Obfuscation
-
-Email addresses can now be obfuscated to prevent automated scraping:
-
-```typescript
-import { createObfuscatedMailto } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
-import { ObfuscatedEmail } from '@/components/ObfuscatedEmail';
-
-// React component
-<ObfuscatedEmail email="contact@dk0.dev">Contact Me</ObfuscatedEmail>
-
-// HTML string
-const mailtoLink = createObfuscatedMailto('contact@dk0.dev', 'Email Me');
-```
-
-**How it works:**
-- Emails are base64 encoded in the HTML
-- JavaScript decodes them on click
-- Prevents simple regex-based email scrapers
-- Still functional for real users
-
-### 3. URL Obfuscation
-
-Sensitive URLs can be obfuscated:
-
-```typescript
-import { createObfuscatedLink } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
-
-const link = createObfuscatedLink('https://sensitive-url.com', 'Click Here');
-```
-
-### 4. Rate Limiting
-
-All API endpoints have rate limiting:
-- Prevents brute force attacks
-- Protects against DDoS
-- Configurable per endpoint
-
-## Code Obfuscation
-
-**Note**: Full code obfuscation for Next.js is **not recommended** because:
-
-1. **Next.js already minifies code** in production builds
-2. **Obfuscation breaks source maps** (harder to debug)
-3. **Performance impact** (slower execution)
-4. **Not effective** - determined attackers can still reverse engineer
-5. **Maintenance burden** - harder to debug issues
-
-**Better alternatives:**
-- ✅ Minification (already enabled in Next.js)
-- ✅ Environment variables for secrets
-- ✅ Server-side rendering (code not exposed)
-- ✅ API authentication
-- ✅ Rate limiting
-- ✅ Security headers
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### For Email Protection:
-1. Use obfuscated emails in public HTML
-2. Use contact forms instead of direct mailto links
-3. Monitor for spam patterns
-
-### For API Protection:
-1. Always require authentication for sensitive endpoints
-2. Use rate limiting
-3. Log suspicious activity
-4. Use HTTPS only
-5. Validate all inputs
-
-### For Webhook Protection:
-1. Use secret tokens (`N8N_SECRET_TOKEN`)
-2. Verify webhook signatures
-3. Rate limit webhook endpoints
-4. Monitor webhook usage
-
-## Implementation Status
-
-- ✅ n8n endpoints protected with auth + rate limiting
-- ✅ Email obfuscation utility created
-- ✅ URL obfuscation utility created
-- ✅ Rate limiting on all n8n endpoints
-- ⚠️ Email obfuscation not yet applied to pages (manual step)
-- ⚠️ Code obfuscation not implemented (not recommended)
-
-## Next Steps
-
-To apply email obfuscation to your pages:
-
-1. Import the utility:
-```typescript
-import { ObfuscatedEmail } from '@/lib/email-obfuscate';
-```
-
-2. Replace email links:
-```tsx
-// Before
-<a href="mailto:contact@dk0.dev">Contact</a>
-
-// After
-<ObfuscatedEmail email="contact@dk0.dev">Contact</ObfuscatedEmail>
-```
-
-3. For static HTML, use the string function:
-```typescript
-const html = createObfuscatedMailto('contact@dk0.dev', 'Email Me');
-```
