perf: remove Sentry client SDK and lazy-load TipTap (~830KB saved)

- Remove withSentryConfig wrapper from next.config.ts (Sentry was disabled anyway)
- Clear instrumentation-client.ts to prevent Sentry client bundle (~400KB)
- Lazy-load RichTextClient via next/dynamic in About.tsx and Contact.tsx
- Defers TipTap/ProseMirror loading until CMS data arrives (~430KB)
- Homepage First Load JS: 1479KB → 646KB (56% reduction)
- Shared JS: 182KB → 102KB (44% reduction)

+```
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Tech Stack
+- **Framework**: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript 5.9
+- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS 3.4 with custom `liquid-*` color tokens
+- **Theming**: next-themes for dark mode (system/light/dark)
+- **Animations**: Framer Motion 12
+- **3D**: Three.js + React Three Fiber (shader gradient background)
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL via Prisma ORM
+- **Cache**: Redis (optional)
+- **CMS**: Directus (self-hosted, GraphQL, optional)
+- **Automation**: n8n webhooks (status, chat, hardcover, image generation)
+- **i18n**: next-intl (EN + DE)
+- **Monitoring**: Sentry
+- **Deployment**: Docker (standalone mode) + Nginx
+
+### Key Directories
+```
+app/
+  [locale]/          # i18n routes (en, de)
+    page.tsx         # Homepage sections
+    projects/        # Project listing + detail pages
+  api/               # API routes
+    book-reviews/    # Book reviews from Directus
+    hobbies/         # Hobbies from Directus
+    n8n/             # n8n webhook proxies
+    projects/        # Projects (PostgreSQL + Directus)
+    tech-stack/      # Tech stack from Directus
+  components/        # React components
+lib/
+  directus.ts        # Directus GraphQL client (no SDK)
+  auth.ts            # Auth + rate limiting
+  translations-loader.ts  # i18n loaders for server components
+prisma/
+  schema.prisma      # Database schema
+messages/
+  en.json            # English translations
+  de.json            # German translations
+```
+
+### Data Source Fallback Chain
+The architecture prioritizes resilience with this fallback hierarchy:
+1. **Directus CMS** (if `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN` configured)
+2. **PostgreSQL** (for projects, analytics)
+3. **JSON files** (`messages/*.json`)
+4. **Hardcoded defaults**
+5. **Display key itself** (last resort)
+
+**Critical**: The site never crashes if external services (Directus, PostgreSQL, n8n, Redis) are unavailable. All API routes return graceful fallbacks.
+
+### CMS Integration (Directus)
+- GraphQL calls via `lib/directus.ts` (no Directus SDK)
+- Collections: `tech_stack_categories`, `tech_stack_items`, `hobbies`, `content_pages`, `projects`, `book_reviews`
+- Translations use Directus native system (M2O to `languages`)
+- Locale mapping: `en` → `en-US`, `de` → `de-DE`
+- API routes export `runtime='nodejs'`, `dynamic='force-dynamic'` and include a `source` field in JSON responses (`directus|fallback|error`)
+
+### n8n Integration
+- Webhook base URL: `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` env var
+- Auth via `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` and/or `N8N_API_KEY` headers
+- All endpoints have rate limiting and 10s timeout protection
+- Hardcover reading data cached for 5 minutes
+
+## Key Conventions
+
+### i18n (Internationalization)
+- **Supported locales**: `en` (English), `de` (German)
+- **Primary source**: Static JSON files in `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+- **Optional override**: Directus CMS `messages` collection
+- **Server components**: Use `getHeroTranslations()`, `getNavTranslations()`, etc. from `lib/translations-loader.ts`
+- **Client components**: Use `useTranslations("key.path")` from next-intl
+- **Locale mapping**: Middleware defines `["en", "de"]` which must match `app/[locale]/layout.tsx`
+
+### Component Patterns
+- **Client components**: Mark with `"use client"` for interactive/data-fetching parts
+- **Data loading**: Use `useEffect` for client-side fetching on mount
+- **Animations**: Framer Motion `variants` pattern with `staggerContainer` + `fadeInUp`
+- **Loading states**: Every async component needs a matching Skeleton component
+
+### Design System ("Liquid Editorial Bento")
+- **Core palette**: Cream (`#fdfcf8`), Stone (`#0c0a09`), Emerald (`#10b981`)
+- **Custom colors**: Prefixed with `liquid-*` (sky, mint, lavender, pink, rose, peach, coral, teal, lime)
+- **Card style**: Gradient backgrounds (`bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15`)
+- **Glassmorphism**: Use `backdrop-blur-sm` with `border-2` and `rounded-xl`
+- **Typography**: Headlines uppercase, tracking-tighter, with accent point at end
+- **Layout**: Bento Grid for new features (no floating overlays)
+
+### File Naming
+- **Components**: PascalCase in `app/components/` (e.g., `About.tsx`)
+- **API routes**: kebab-case directories in `app/api/` (e.g., `book-reviews/`)
+- **Lib utilities**: kebab-case in `lib/` (e.g., `email-obfuscate.ts`)
+
+### Code Style
+- **Language**: Code in English, user-facing text via i18n
+- **TypeScript**: No `any` types - use interfaces from `lib/directus.ts` or `app/_ui/`
+- **Error handling**: All API calls must catch errors with fallbacks
+- **Error logging**: Only in development mode (`process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"`)
+- **Commit messages**: Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+- **No emojis**: Unless explicitly requested
+
+### Testing Notes
+- **Jest environment**: JSDOM with mocks for `window.matchMedia` and `IntersectionObserver`
+- **Playwright**: Uses plain Next.js dev server (no Docker) with `NODE_ENV=development` to avoid Edge runtime issues
+- **Transform**: ESM modules (react-markdown, remark-*, etc.) are transformed via `transformIgnorePatterns`
+- **After UI changes**: Run `npm run test` to verify no regressions
+
+### Docker & Deployment
+- **Standalone mode**: `next.config.ts` uses `output: "standalone"` for optimized Docker builds
+- **Branches**: `dev` → staging, `production` → live
+- **CI/CD**: Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/`)
+- **Verify Docker builds**: Always test Docker builds after changes to `next.config.ts` or dependencies
+
+## 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`
+4. Add i18n keys to `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+5. Integrate into parent component
+
+### Adding i18n strings
+1. Add keys to both `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+2. Use `useTranslations("key.path")` in client components
+3. Use `getTranslations("key.path")` in server components
+
+### Working with Directus
+- All queries go through `directusRequest()` in `lib/directus.ts`
+- Uses GraphQL endpoint (`/graphql`) with 2s timeout
+- Returns `null` on failure (graceful degradation)
+- Translations filtered by `languages_code.code` matching Directus locale

+# CLAUDE.md - Portfolio Project Guide
+
+## 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" design system with soft gradient colors and glassmorphism effects.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Framework**: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript 5.9
+- **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 (shader gradient background)
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL via Prisma ORM
+- **Cache**: Redis (optional)
+- **CMS**: Directus (self-hosted, REST/GraphQL, optional)
+- **Automation**: n8n webhooks (status, chat, hardcover, image generation)
+- **i18n**: next-intl (EN + DE), message files in `messages/`
+- **Monitoring**: Sentry
+- **Deployment**: Docker + Nginx, CI via Gitea Actions
+
+## 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
+npm run test         # Jest unit tests
+npm run test:e2e     # Playwright E2E tests
+```

+```
+
+## Architecture Patterns
+
+### Data Source Hierarchy (Fallback Chain)
+1. Directus CMS (if configured via `DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN`)
+2. PostgreSQL (for projects, analytics)
+3. JSON files (`messages/*.json`)
+4. Hardcoded defaults
+5. Display key itself as last resort
+
+All external data sources fail gracefully - the site never crashes if Directus, PostgreSQL, n8n, or Redis are unavailable.
+
+### CMS Integration (Directus)
+- REST/GraphQL calls via `lib/directus.ts` (no Directus SDK)
+- Collections: `tech_stack_categories`, `tech_stack_items`, `hobbies`, `content_pages`, `projects`, `book_reviews`
+- Translations use Directus native translation system (M2O to `languages`)
+- Locale mapping: `en` -> `en-US`, `de` -> `de-DE`
+
+### n8n Integration
+- Webhook base URL: `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` env var
+- Auth via `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` and/or `N8N_API_KEY` headers
+- All n8n endpoints have rate limiting and timeout protection (10s)
+- Hardcover data cached for 5 minutes
+
+### Component Patterns
+- Client components with `"use client"` for interactive/data-fetching parts
+- `useEffect` for data loading on mount
+- `useTranslations` from next-intl for i18n
+- Framer Motion `variants` pattern with `staggerContainer` + `fadeInUp`
+- Gradient cards with `liquid-*` color tokens and `backdrop-blur-sm`
+
+## 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 use gradient backgrounds (`bg-gradient-to-br from-liquid-*/15 via-liquid-*/10 to-liquid-*/15`) with `border-2` and `rounded-xl`.
+
+## Key Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Required for CMS
+DIRECTUS_URL=https://cms.dk0.dev
+DIRECTUS_STATIC_TOKEN=...
+
+# Required for n8n features
+N8N_WEBHOOK_URL=https://n8n.dk0.dev
+N8N_SECRET_TOKEN=...
+N8N_API_KEY=...
+
+# Database
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...
+
+# Optional
+REDIS_URL=redis://...
+SENTRY_DSN=...
+```
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Language: Code in English, user-facing text via i18n (EN + DE)
+- Commit messages: Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`)
+- Components: PascalCase files in `app/components/`
+- API routes: kebab-case directories in `app/api/`
+- CMS data always has a static fallback - never rely solely on Directus
+- Error logging: Only in `development` mode (`process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"`)
+- No emojis in code unless explicitly requested
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Adding a new CMS-managed section
+1. Define the GraphQL query + types in `lib/directus.ts`
+2. Create an API route in `app/api/<name>/route.ts`
+3. Create a component in `app/components/<Name>.tsx`
+4. Add i18n keys to `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+5. Integrate into the parent component (usually `About.tsx`)
+
+### Adding i18n strings
+1. Add keys to `messages/en.json` and `messages/de.json`
+2. Access via `useTranslations("key.path")` in client components
+3. Or `getTranslations("key.path")` in server components
+
+### Working with Directus collections
+- All queries go through `directusRequest()` in `lib/directus.ts`
+- Uses GraphQL endpoint (`/graphql`)
+- 2-second timeout, graceful null fallback
+- Translations filtered by `languages_code.code` matching Directus locale

-# 🚀 Deployment Setup Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-This project uses a **dual-branch deployment strategy** with zero-downtime deployments:
-
-- **Production Branch** (`production`) → Serves `https://dk0.dev` on port 3000
-- **Dev Branch** (`dev`) → Serves `https://dev.dk0.dev` on port 3002
-
-Both environments are completely isolated with separate:
-- Docker containers
-- Databases (PostgreSQL)
-- Redis instances
-- Networks
-- Volumes
-
-## Branch Strategy
-
-### Production Branch
-- **Branch**: `production`
-- **Domain**: `https://dk0.dev`
-- **Port**: `3000`
-- **Container**: `portfolio-app`
-- **Database**: `portfolio_db` (port 5432)
-- **Redis**: `portfolio-redis` (port 6379)
-- **Image Tag**: `portfolio-app:production` / `portfolio-app:latest`
-
-### Dev Branch
-- **Branch**: `dev`
-- **Domain**: `https://dev.dk0.dev`
-- **Port**: `3002`
-- **Container**: `portfolio-app-staging`
-- **Database**: `portfolio_staging_db` (port 5434)
-- **Redis**: `portfolio-redis-staging` (port 6381)
-- **Image Tag**: `portfolio-app:staging`
-
-## Automatic Deployment
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. **Push to `production` branch**:
-   - Triggers `.gitea/workflows/production-deploy.yml`
-   - Runs tests, builds, and deploys to production
-   - Zero-downtime deployment (starts new container, waits for health, removes old)
-
-2. **Push to `dev` branch**:
-   - Triggers `.gitea/workflows/dev-deploy.yml`
-   - Runs tests, builds, and deploys to dev/staging
-   - Zero-downtime deployment
-
-### Zero-Downtime Process
-
-1. Build new Docker image
-2. Start new container with updated image
-3. Wait for new container to be healthy (health checks)
-4. Verify HTTP endpoints respond correctly
-5. Remove old container (if different)
-6. Cleanup old images
-
-## Manual Deployment
-
-### Production
-```bash
-# Build and deploy production
-docker build -t portfolio-app:latest .
-docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d --build
-```
-
-### Dev/Staging
-```bash
-# Build and deploy dev
-docker build -t portfolio-app:staging .
-docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d --build
-```
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-### Required Gitea Variables
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` - Base URL for the application
-- `MY_EMAIL` - Email address for contact
-- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` - Info email address
-- `LOG_LEVEL` - Logging level (info/debug)
-
-### Required Gitea Secrets
-- `MY_PASSWORD` - Email password
-- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` - Info email password
-- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` - Admin basic auth credentials
-- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` - Optional: n8n webhook secret
-
-### Optional Variables
-- `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` - n8n webhook URL for automation
-
-## Health Checks
-
-Both environments have health check endpoints:
-- Production: `http://localhost:3000/api/health`
-- Dev: `http://localhost:3002/api/health`
-
-## Monitoring
-
-### Check Container Status
-```bash
-# Production
-docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml ps
-
-# Dev
-docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml ps
-```
-
-### View Logs
-```bash
-# Production
-docker logs portfolio-app --tail=100 -f
-
-# Dev
-docker logs portfolio-app-staging --tail=100 -f
-```
-
-### Health Check
-```bash
-# Production
-curl http://localhost:3000/api/health
-
-# Dev
-curl http://localhost:3002/api/health
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Container Won't Start
-1. Check logs: `docker logs <container-name>`
-2. Verify environment variables are set
-3. Check database/redis connectivity
-4. Verify ports aren't already in use
-
-### Deployment Fails
-1. Check Gitea Actions logs
-2. Verify all required secrets/variables are set
-3. Check if old containers are blocking ports
-4. Verify Docker image builds successfully
-
-### Zero-Downtime Issues
-- Old container might still be running - check with `docker ps`
-- Health checks might be failing - check container logs
-- Port conflicts - verify ports 3000 and 3002 are available
-
-## Rollback
-
-If a deployment fails or causes issues:
-
-```bash
-# Production rollback
-docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml down
-docker tag portfolio-app:previous portfolio-app:latest
-docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d
-
-# Dev rollback
-docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml down
-docker tag portfolio-app:staging-previous portfolio-app:staging
-docker compose -f docker-compose.staging.yml up -d
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always test on dev branch first** before pushing to production
-2. **Monitor health checks** after deployment
-3. **Keep old images** for quick rollback (last 3 versions)
-4. **Use feature flags** for new features
-5. **Document breaking changes** before deploying
-6. **Run tests locally** before pushing
-
-## Network Configuration
-
-- **Production Network**: `portfolio_net` + `proxy` (external)
-- **Dev Network**: `portfolio_staging_net`
-- **Isolation**: Complete separation ensures no interference
-
-## Database Management
-
-### Production Database
-- **Container**: `portfolio-postgres`
-- **Port**: `5432` (internal only)
-- **Database**: `portfolio_db`
-- **User**: `portfolio_user`
-
-### Dev Database
-- **Container**: `portfolio-postgres-staging`
-- **Port**: `5434` (external), `5432` (internal)
-- **Database**: `portfolio_staging_db`
-- **User**: `portfolio_user`
-
-## Redis Configuration
-
-### Production Redis
-- **Container**: `portfolio-redis`
-- **Port**: `6379` (internal only)
-
-### Dev Redis
-- **Container**: `portfolio-redis-staging`
-- **Port**: `6381` (external), `6379` (internal)

-## 🚨 Troubleshooting
-
-### Docker Compose Not Found
-
-If you get the error `spawn docker compose ENOENT`:
-
-```bash
-# Try the simple dev mode instead
-npm run dev:simple
-
-# Or install Docker Desktop
-# Download from: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
-```
-
-### Port Conflicts
-
-If ports are already in use:
-
-```bash
-# Check what's using the ports
-lsof -i :3000
-lsof -i :5432
-lsof -i :6379
-
-# Kill processes if needed
-kill -9 <PID>
-```
-
-### Database Connection Issues
-
-```bash
-# Restart database services
-npm run docker:dev:down
-npm run docker:dev
-
-# Check database status
-docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.minimal.yml ps
-```
-
-### Email Not Working
-
-1. Verify environment variables
-2. Check browser console for errors
-3. Ensure SMTP is configured for production
-
-## 🎯 Production Deployment
-
-For production deployment, use:
-
-```bash
-npm run build
-npm run start
-```
-
-The production environment uses the production Docker Compose configuration.
-
-## 📝 Notes
-
-- The development environment automatically creates sample data
-- Database changes are persisted in Docker volumes
-- Hot reload works for all components and API routes
-- Minimal setup for fast development startup

+### Home – Hero (langere Beschreibung)
+- **slug**: home-hero
+- **locale**: en / de
+- **title** (optional): Hero Section Description
+- **content**: Längerer Text/Rich Text (ersetzen die kurze beschreibung)
+
+Beispiel EN:
+> "I'm a passionate software engineer and self-hoster from Osnabrück, Germany. I build full-stack web applications with Next.js, create mobile solutions with Flutter, and love exploring DevOps. I run my own infrastructure and automate deployments with CI/CD."
+
+Beispiel DE:
+> "Ich bin ein leidenschaftlicher Softwareentwickler und Self-Hoster aus Osnabrück. Ich entwickle Full-Stack Web-Apps mit Next.js, mobile Apps mit Flutter und bin begeistert von DevOps. Ich betreibe meine eigene Infrastruktur und automatisiere Deployments."
+
+### Home – About (längere Inhalte)

+
+### Home – Projects Intro
+- **slug**: home-projects
+- **locale**: en / de

+
+## 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! 🚀

+# Gemini CLI: Project Context & Engineering Mandates
+
+## Project Identity
+- **Name:** Dennis Konkol Portfolio (dk0.dev)
+- **Aesthetic:** "Liquid Editorial Bento" (Premium, minimalistisch, hoch-typografisch).
+- **Core Palette:** Creme (`#fdfcf8`), Stone (`#0c0a09`), Emerald (`#10b981`), Sky, Purple.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **Framework:** Next.js 15 (App Router), Tailwind CSS 3.4.
+- **CMS:** Directus (primär für Texte, Hobbies, Tech-Stack, Projekte).
+- **Database:** PostgreSQL (Prisma) als lokaler Cache/Mirror für Projekte.
+- **Animations:** Framer Motion (bevorzugt für alle Übergänge).
+- **i18n:** `next-intl` (Locales: `en`, `de`).
+
+## Engineering Guidelines (Mandates)
+
+### 1. UI Components
+- **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.

-# 🔧 Gitea Variables & Secrets Setup Guide
-
-## Übersicht
-
-In Gitea kannst du **Variables** (öffentlich) und **Secrets** (verschlüsselt) für dein Repository setzen. Diese werden in den CI/CD Workflows verwendet.
-
-## 📍 Wo findest du die Einstellungen?
-
-1. Gehe zu deinem Repository auf Gitea
-2. Klicke auf **Settings** (Einstellungen)
-3. Klicke auf **Variables** oder **Secrets** im linken Menü
-
-## 🔑 Variablen für Production Branch
-
-Für den `production` Branch brauchst du:
-
-### Variables (öffentlich sichtbar):
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` = `https://dk0.dev`
-- `MY_EMAIL` = `contact@dk0.dev` (oder deine Email)
-- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` = `info@dk0.dev` (oder deine Info-Email)
-- `LOG_LEVEL` = `info`
-- `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` = `https://n8n.dk0.dev` (optional)
-
-### Secrets (verschlüsselt):
-- `MY_PASSWORD` = Dein Email-Passwort
-- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` = Dein Info-Email-Passwort
-- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` = `admin:dein_sicheres_passwort`
-- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` = Dein n8n Secret Token (optional)
-
-## 🧪 Variablen für Dev Branch
-
-Für den `dev` Branch brauchst du die **gleichen** Variablen, aber mit anderen Werten:
-
-### Variables:
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` = `https://dev.dk0.dev` ⚠️ **WICHTIG: Andere URL!**
-- `MY_EMAIL` = `contact@dk0.dev` (kann gleich sein)
-- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` = `info@dk0.dev` (kann gleich sein)
-- `LOG_LEVEL` = `debug` (für Dev mehr Logging)
-- `N8N_WEBHOOK_URL` = `https://n8n.dk0.dev` (optional)
-
-### Secrets:
-- `MY_PASSWORD` = Dein Email-Passwort (kann gleich sein)
-- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` = Dein Info-Email-Passwort (kann gleich sein)
-- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` = `admin:staging_password` (kann anders sein)
-- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` = Dein n8n Secret Token (optional)
-
-## ✅ Lösung: Automatische Branch-Erkennung
-
-**Gitea unterstützt keine branch-spezifischen Variablen, aber die Workflows erkennen automatisch den Branch!**
-
-### Wie es funktioniert:
-
-Die Workflows triggern auf unterschiedlichen Branches und verwenden automatisch die richtigen Defaults:
-
-**Production Workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/production-deploy.yml`):
-- Triggert nur auf `production` Branch
-- Verwendet: `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` (wenn gesetzt) oder Default: `https://dk0.dev`
-
-**Dev Workflow** (`.gitea/workflows/dev-deploy.yml`):
-- Triggert nur auf `dev` Branch  
-- Verwendet: `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` (wenn gesetzt) oder Default: `https://dev.dk0.dev`
-
-**Das bedeutet:**
-- Du setzt **eine** Variable `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` in Gitea
-- **Production Branch** → verwendet diese Variable (oder Default `https://dk0.dev`)
-- **Dev Branch** → verwendet diese Variable (oder Default `https://dev.dk0.dev`)
-
-### ⚠️ WICHTIG:
-
-Da beide Workflows die **gleiche Variable** verwenden, aber unterschiedliche Defaults haben:
-
-**Option 1: Variable NICHT setzen (Empfohlen)**
-- Production verwendet automatisch: `https://dk0.dev`
-- Dev verwendet automatisch: `https://dev.dk0.dev`
-- ✅ Funktioniert perfekt ohne Konfiguration!
-
-**Option 2: Variable setzen**
-- Wenn du `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` = `https://dk0.dev` setzt
-- Dann verwendet **beide** Branches diese URL (nicht ideal für Dev)
-- ⚠️ Nicht empfohlen, da Dev dann die Production-URL verwendet
-
-## ✅ Empfohlene Konfiguration
-
-### ⭐ Einfachste Lösung: NICHTS setzen!
-
-Die Workflows haben bereits die richtigen Defaults:
-- **Production Branch** → automatisch `https://dk0.dev`
-- **Dev Branch** → automatisch `https://dev.dk0.dev`
-
-Du musst **NICHTS** in Gitea setzen, es funktioniert automatisch!
-
-### Wenn du Variablen setzen willst:
-
-**Nur diese Variablen setzen (für beide Branches):**
-- `MY_EMAIL` = `contact@dk0.dev`
-- `MY_INFO_EMAIL` = `info@dk0.dev`
-- `LOG_LEVEL` = `info` (wird für Production verwendet, Dev überschreibt mit `debug`)
-
-**Secrets (für beide Branches):**
-- `MY_PASSWORD` = Dein Email-Passwort
-- `MY_INFO_PASSWORD` = Dein Info-Email-Passwort
-- `ADMIN_BASIC_AUTH` = `admin:dein_passwort`
-- `N8N_SECRET_TOKEN` = Dein n8n Token (optional)
-
-**⚠️ NICHT setzen:**
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` - Lass diese Variable leer, damit jeder Branch seinen eigenen Default verwendet!
-
-## 📝 Schritt-für-Schritt Anleitung
-
-### 1. Gehe zu Repository Settings
-```
-https://git.dk0.dev/denshooter/portfolio/settings
-```
-
-### 2. Klicke auf "Variables" oder "Secrets"
-
-### 3. Für Variables (öffentlich):
-- Klicke auf **"New Variable"**
-- **Name:** `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`
-- **Value:** `https://dk0.dev` (für Production)
-- **Protect:** ✅ (optional, schützt vor Änderungen)
-- Klicke **"Add Variable"**
-
-### 4. Für Secrets (verschlüsselt):
-- Klicke auf **"New Secret"**
-- **Name:** `MY_PASSWORD`
-- **Value:** Dein Passwort
-- Klicke **"Add Secret"**
-
-## 🔄 Aktuelle Workflow-Logik
-
-Die Workflows verwenden diese einfache Logik:
-
-```yaml
-# Production Workflow (triggert nur auf production branch)
-NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL || 'https://dk0.dev' }}
-
-# Dev Workflow (triggert nur auf dev branch)
-NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL || 'https://dev.dk0.dev' }}
-```
-
-**Das bedeutet:**
-- Jeder Workflow hat seinen **eigenen Default**
-- Wenn `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` in Gitea gesetzt ist, wird diese verwendet
-- Wenn **nicht** gesetzt, verwendet jeder Branch seinen eigenen Default
-
-**⭐ Beste Lösung:**
-- **NICHT** `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` in Gitea setzen
-- Dann verwendet Production automatisch `https://dk0.dev`
-- Und Dev verwendet automatisch `https://dev.dk0.dev`
-- ✅ Perfekt getrennt, ohne Konfiguration!
-
-## 🎯 Best Practice
-
-1. **Production:** Setze alle Variablen explizit in Gitea
-2. **Dev:** Nutze die Defaults im Workflow (oder setze separate Variablen)
-3. **Secrets:** Immer in Gitea Secrets setzen, nie in Code!
-
-## 🔍 Prüfen ob Variablen gesetzt sind
-
-In den Workflow-Logs siehst du:
-```
-📝 Using Gitea Variables and Secrets:
-  - NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: https://dk0.dev
-```
-
-Wenn eine Variable fehlt, wird der Default verwendet.
-
-## ⚙️ Alternative: Environment-spezifische Variablen
-
-Falls du separate Variablen für Dev und Production willst, können wir die Workflows anpassen:
-
-```yaml
-# Production
-NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_PRODUCTION || 'https://dk0.dev' }}
-
-# Dev  
-NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL: ${{ vars.NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_DEV || 'https://dev.dk0.dev' }}
-```
-
-Dann könntest du setzen:
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_PRODUCTION` = `https://dk0.dev`
-- `NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL_DEV` = `https://dev.dk0.dev`
-
-Soll ich die Workflows entsprechend anpassen?

-# 🔧 Nginx Proxy Manager Setup Guide
-
-## Übersicht
-
-Dieses Projekt nutzt **Nginx Proxy Manager** als Reverse Proxy. Die Container sind im `proxy` Netzwerk, damit Nginx Proxy Manager auf sie zugreifen kann.
-
-## 🐳 Docker Netzwerk-Konfiguration
-
-Die Container sind bereits im `proxy` Netzwerk konfiguriert:
-
-**Production:**
-```yaml
-networks:
-  - portfolio_net
-  - proxy  # ✅ Bereits konfiguriert
-```
-
-**Staging:**
-```yaml
-networks:
-  - portfolio_staging_net
-  - proxy  # ✅ Bereits konfiguriert
-```
-
-## 📋 Nginx Proxy Manager Konfiguration
-
-### Production (dk0.dev)
-
-1. **Gehe zu Nginx Proxy Manager** → Hosts → Proxy Hosts → Add Proxy Host
-
-2. **Details Tab:**
-   - **Domain Names:** `dk0.dev`, `www.dk0.dev`
-   - **Scheme:** `http`
-   - **Forward Hostname/IP:** `portfolio-app` (Container-Name)
-   - **Forward Port:** `3000`
-   - **Cache Assets:** ✅ (optional)
-   - **Block Common Exploits:** ✅
-   - **Websockets Support:** ✅ (für Chat/Activity)
-
-3. **SSL Tab:**
-   - **SSL Certificate:** Request a new SSL Certificate
-   - **Force SSL:** ✅
-   - **HTTP/2 Support:** ✅
-   - **HSTS Enabled:** ✅
-
-4. **Advanced Tab:**
-   ```
-   # Custom Nginx Configuration
-   # Fix for 421 Misdirected Request
-   proxy_set_header Host $host;
-   proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
-   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
-   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
-   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
-   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
-   
-   # Fix HTTP/2 connection reuse issues
-   proxy_http_version 1.1;
-   proxy_set_header Connection "";
-   
-   # Timeouts
-   proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
-   proxy_send_timeout 60s;
-   proxy_read_timeout 60s;
-   ```
-
-### Staging (dev.dk0.dev)
-
-1. **Gehe zu Nginx Proxy Manager** → Hosts → Proxy Hosts → Add Proxy Host
-
-2. **Details Tab:**
-   - **Domain Names:** `dev.dk0.dev`
-   - **Scheme:** `http`
-   - **Forward Hostname/IP:** `portfolio-app-staging` (Container-Name)
-   - **Forward Port:** `3000` (interner Port im Container)
-   - **Cache Assets:** ❌ (für Dev besser deaktiviert)
-   - **Block Common Exploits:** ✅
-   - **Websockets Support:** ✅
-
-3. **SSL Tab:**
-   - **SSL Certificate:** Request a new SSL Certificate
-   - **Force SSL:** ✅
-   - **HTTP/2 Support:** ✅
-   - **HSTS Enabled:** ✅
-
-4. **Advanced Tab:**
-   ```
-   # Custom Nginx Configuration
-   # Fix for 421 Misdirected Request
-   proxy_set_header Host $host;
-   proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
-   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
-   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

-   
-   # Timeouts
-   proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
-   proxy_send_timeout 60s;
-   proxy_read_timeout 60s;
-   ```
-
-## 🔍 421 Misdirected Request - Lösung
-
-Der **421 Misdirected Request** Fehler tritt auf, wenn:
-
-1. **HTTP/2 Connection Reuse:** Nginx Proxy Manager versucht, eine HTTP/2-Verbindung wiederzuverwenden, aber der Host-Header stimmt nicht überein
-2. **Host-Header nicht richtig weitergegeben:** Der Container erhält den falschen Host-Header
-
-### Lösung 1: Advanced Tab Konfiguration (Wichtig!)
-
-Füge diese Zeilen im **Advanced Tab** von Nginx Proxy Manager hinzu:
-
-```nginx
-proxy_http_version 1.1;
-proxy_set_header Connection "";
-proxy_set_header Host $host;
-proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
-```
-
-### Lösung 2: Container-Namen verwenden
-
-Stelle sicher, dass du den **Container-Namen** (nicht IP) verwendest:
-- Production: `portfolio-app`
-- Staging: `portfolio-app-staging`
-
-### Lösung 3: Netzwerk prüfen
-
-Stelle sicher, dass beide Container im `proxy` Netzwerk sind:
-
-```bash
-# Prüfen
-docker network inspect proxy
-
-# Sollte enthalten:
-# - portfolio-app
-# - portfolio-app-staging
-```
-
-## ✅ Checkliste

-- [ ] Container sind im `proxy` Netzwerk
-- [ ] Nginx Proxy Manager nutzt Container-Namen (nicht IP)
-- [ ] Advanced Tab Konfiguration ist gesetzt
-- [ ] `proxy_http_version 1.1` ist gesetzt
-- [ ] `proxy_set_header Host $host` ist gesetzt
-- [ ] SSL-Zertifikat ist konfiguriert
-- [ ] Websockets Support ist aktiviert
-
-## 🐛 Troubleshooting
-
-### 421 Fehler weiterhin vorhanden?
-
-1. **Prüfe Container-Namen:**
-   ```bash
-   docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}"
-   ```
-
-2. **Prüfe Netzwerk:**
-   ```bash
-   docker network inspect proxy | grep -A 5 portfolio
-   ```
-
-3. **Prüfe Nginx Proxy Manager Logs:**
-   - Gehe zu Nginx Proxy Manager → System Logs
-   - Suche nach "421" oder "misdirected"
-
-4. **Teste direkt:**
-   ```bash
-   # Vom Host aus
-   curl -H "Host: dk0.dev" http://portfolio-app:3000
-   
-   # Sollte funktionieren
-   ```
-
-5. **Deaktiviere HTTP/2 temporär:**
-   - In Nginx Proxy Manager → SSL Tab
-   - **HTTP/2 Support:** ❌
-   - Teste ob es funktioniert
-
-## 📝 Wichtige Hinweise
-
-- **Container-Namen sind wichtig:** Nutze `portfolio-app` nicht `localhost` oder IP
-- **Port:** Immer Port `3000` (interner Container-Port), nicht `3000:3000`
-- **Netzwerk:** Beide Container müssen im `proxy` Netzwerk sein
-- **HTTP/2:** Kann Probleme verursachen, wenn Advanced Config fehlt
-
-## 🔄 Nach Deployment
-
-Nach jedem Deployment:
-1. Prüfe ob Container läuft: `docker ps | grep portfolio`
-2. Prüfe ob Container im proxy-Netzwerk ist
-3. Teste die URL im Browser
-4. Prüfe Nginx Proxy Manager Logs bei Problemen

-# 🚀 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
-```
-
----
-
-## 🚨 Red Flags - DON'T PUSH IF:
-
-- ❌ Build fails
-- ❌ Tests fail
-- ❌ Linter errors
-- ❌ TypeScript errors
-- ❌ Database migration not tested
-- ❌ Breaking changes not documented
-- ❌ Secrets in code
-- ❌ Debug code left in
-- ❌ Console.logs everywhere
-- ❌ Untested features
-- ❌ No rollback plan
-
----
-
-## ✅ Green Lights - SAFE TO PUSH IF:

-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');
-```

-
-## 🚨 Common Issues
-
-### Tests Fail Locally But Pass in CI
-- Check environment variables
-- Ensure database is set up
-- Check for port conflicts
-
-### Hydration Errors
-- Check for server/client mismatches
-- Ensure no conditional rendering based on `window`
-- Check for date/time differences
-
-### Email Tests Fail
-- Email service might not be configured
-- Check environment variables
-- Tests are designed to handle missing email service
-
-### Performance Tests Fail
-- Network might be slow
-- Adjust thresholds in test file
-- Check for heavy resources loading
-
-## 📝 Writing New Tests
-
-### E2E Test Example
-```typescript
-import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
-
-test('My new feature works', async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto('/my-page');
-  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Expected Text');
-});
-```
-
-### Unit Test Example
-```typescript
-import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
-import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
-
-test('renders correctly', () => {
-  render(<MyComponent />);
-  expect(screen.getByText('Hello')).toBeInTheDocument();
-});
-```
-
-## 🎯 CI/CD Integration
-
-### GitHub Actions Example
-```yaml
-- name: Run tests
-  run: |
-    npm install
-    npm run test:all
-```
-

-                Hi, I&apos;m Dennis – a student and passionate self-hoster based
-                in Osnabrück, Germany.
-              </p>
-              <p>
-                I love building full-stack web applications with{" "}
-                <strong>Next.js</strong> and mobile apps with{" "}
-                <strong>Flutter</strong>. But what really excites me is{" "}
-                <strong>DevOps</strong>: I run my own infrastructure on{" "}
-                <strong>IONOS</strong> and <strong>OVHcloud</strong>, managing
-                everything with <strong>Docker Swarm</strong>,{" "}
-                <strong>Traefik</strong>, and automated CI/CD pipelines with my
-                own runners.
-              </p>
-              <p>
-                When I&apos;m not coding or tinkering with servers, you&apos;ll
-                find me <strong>gaming</strong>, <strong>jogging</strong>, or
-                experimenting with new tech like game servers or automation
-                workflows with <strong>n8n</strong>.
