-# 🚀 Auto-Deployment Status
-
-## Current Setup
-
-### GitHub Actions Workflow (`.github/workflows/ci-cd.yml`)
-
-**Triggers on**: Push to `main` OR `production` branches
-
-**What happens on `main` branch**:
-- ✅ Runs tests
-- ✅ Runs linting  
-- ✅ Builds Docker image
-- ✅ Pushes image to registry
-- ❌ **Does NOT deploy to server**
-
-**What happens on `production` branch**:
-- ✅ Runs tests
-- ✅ Runs linting
-- ✅ Builds Docker image
-- ✅ Pushes image to registry
-- ✅ **Deploys to server automatically**
-
-### Key Line in Workflow
-
-```yaml
-# Line 159 in .github/workflows/ci-cd.yml
-if: github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/production'
-```
-
-This means deployment **only** happens on `production` branch.
-
-## Answer: Can you merge to main and auto-deploy?
-
-**❌ NO** - Merging to `main` will:
-- Build and test everything
-- Create Docker image
-- **But NOT deploy to your server**
-
-**✅ YES** - Merging to `production` will:
-- Build and test everything
-- Create Docker image
-- **AND deploy to your server automatically**
-
-## Options
-
-### Option 1: Use Production Branch (Current Setup)
-```bash
-# Merge dev → main (tests/build only)
-git checkout main
-git merge dev
-git push origin main
-
-# Then merge main → production (auto-deploys)
-git checkout production
-git merge main
-git push origin production  # ← This triggers deployment
-```
-
-### Option 2: Enable Auto-Deploy on Main
-If you want `main` to auto-deploy, I can update the workflow to deploy on `main` as well.
-
-### Option 3: Manual Deployment
-After merging to `main`, manually run:
-```bash
-./scripts/gitea-deploy.sh
-# or
-./scripts/auto-deploy.sh
-```
-
-## Recommendation
-
-**Keep current setup** (deploy only on `production`):
-- ✅ Safer: `main` is for testing builds
-- ✅ `production` is explicitly for deployments
-- ✅ Can test on `main` without deploying
-- ✅ Clear separation of concerns
-
-**Workflow**:
-1. Merge `dev` → `main` (validates build works)
-2. Test the built image if needed
-3. Merge `main` → `production` (auto-deploys)
-
----
-
-**Current Status**: Auto-deployment is configured, but only for `production` branch.

-# 🚀 Development Environment Setup
-
-This document explains how to set up and use the development environment for the portfolio project.
-
-## ✨ Features
-
-- **Automatic Database Setup**: PostgreSQL and Redis start automatically
-- **Hot Reload**: Next.js development server with hot reload
-- **Database Integration**: Real database integration for email management
-- **Modern Admin Dashboard**: Completely redesigned admin interface
-- **Minimal Setup**: Only essential services for fast development
-
-## 🛠️ Quick Start
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- Node.js 18+ 
-- Docker & Docker Compose
-- npm or yarn
-
-### 1. Install Dependencies
-
-```bash
-npm install
-```
-
-### 2. Start Development Environment
-
-#### Option A: Full Development Environment (with Docker)
-```bash
-npm run dev
-```
-
-This single command will:
-- Start PostgreSQL database
-- Start Redis cache
-- Start Next.js development server
-- Set up all environment variables
-
-#### Option B: Simple Development Mode (without Docker)
-```bash
-npm run dev:simple
-```
-
-This starts only the Next.js development server without Docker services. Use this if you don't have Docker installed or want a faster startup.
-
-### 3. Access Services
-
-- **Portfolio**: http://localhost:3000
-- **Admin Dashboard**: http://localhost:3000/manage
-- **PostgreSQL**: localhost:5432
-- **Redis**: localhost:6379
-
-## 📧 Email Testing
-
-The development environment supports email functionality:
-
-1. Send emails through the contact form or admin panel
-2. Emails are sent directly (configure SMTP in production)
-3. Check console logs for email debugging
-
-## 🗄️ Database
-
-### Development Database
-
-- **Host**: localhost:5432
-- **Database**: portfolio_dev
-- **User**: portfolio_user
-- **Password**: portfolio_dev_pass
-
-### Database Commands
-
-```bash
-# Generate Prisma client
-npm run db:generate
-
-# Push schema changes
-npm run db:push
-
-# Seed database with sample data
-npm run db:seed
-
-# Open Prisma Studio
-npm run db:studio
-
-# Reset database
-npm run db:reset
-```
-
-## 🎨 Admin Dashboard
-
-The new admin dashboard includes:
-
-- **Overview**: Statistics and recent activity
-- **Projects**: Manage portfolio projects
-- **Emails**: Handle contact form submissions with beautiful templates
-- **Analytics**: View performance metrics
-- **Settings**: Import/export functionality
-
-### Email Templates
-
-Three beautiful email templates are available:
-
-1. **Welcome Template** (Green): Friendly greeting with portfolio links
-2. **Project Template** (Purple): Professional project discussion response
-3. **Quick Template** (Orange): Fast acknowledgment response
-
-## 🔧 Environment Variables
-
-Create a `.env.local` file:
-
-```env
-# Development Database
-DATABASE_URL="postgresql://portfolio_user:portfolio_dev_pass@localhost:5432/portfolio_dev?schema=public"
-
-# Redis
-REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
-
-# Email (for production)
-MY_EMAIL=contact@dk0.dev
-MY_PASSWORD=your-email-password
-
-# Application
-NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
-NODE_ENV=development
-```
-
-## 🛑 Stopping the Environment
-
-Use Ctrl+C to stop all services, or:
-
-```bash
-# Stop Docker services only
-npm run docker:dev:down
-```
-
-## 🐳 Docker Commands
-
-```bash
-# Start only database services
-npm run docker:dev
-
-# Stop database services
-npm run docker:dev:down
-
-# View logs
-docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.minimal.yml logs -f
-```

-
-## 🚨 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

-# 🔧 Git Connection Fix
-
-## Issue
-```
-fatal: unable to access 'https://git.dk0.dev/denshooter/portfolio/': 
-Failed to connect to git.dk0.dev port 443 after 75002 ms: Couldn't connect to server
-```
-
-## Solutions
-
-### Option 1: Check Server Status
-The server is reachable via HTTP (tested), but Git might need authentication.
-
-### Option 2: Configure Git Credentials
-```bash
-# Store credentials
-git config --global credential.helper store
-
-# Or use keychain (macOS)
-git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain
-```
-
-### Option 3: Use Personal Access Token
-1. Go to: https://git.dk0.dev/user/settings/applications
-2. Generate a new token
-3. Use it when pushing:
-   ```bash
-   git push https://YOUR_TOKEN@git.dk0.dev/denshooter/portfolio.git
-   ```
-
-### Option 4: Check Firewall/Network
-- Port 443 might be blocked
-- Try from different network
-- Check if VPN is needed
-
-### Option 5: Use SSH (if port 22 opens)
-```bash
-git remote set-url origin git@git.dk0.dev:denshooter/portfolio.git
-```
-
-## Current Status
-- Remote URL: `https://git.dk0.dev/denshooter/portfolio.git`
-- Server reachable: ✅ (HTTP works)
-- Git connection: ⚠️ (May need credentials)
-
-## Quick Test
-```bash
-# Test connection
-curl -I https://git.dk0.dev
-
-# Test Git
-git ls-remote https://git.dk0.dev/denshooter/portfolio.git
-```

+# 🔒 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');
+```

-# 🧪 Automated Testing Guide
-
-This guide explains how to run automated tests for critical paths, hydration, emails, and more.
-
-## 📋 Test Types
-
-### 1. Unit Tests (Jest)
-Tests individual components and functions in isolation.
-
-```bash
-npm run test              # Run all unit tests
-npm run test:watch        # Watch mode
-npm run test:coverage    # With coverage report
-```
-
-### 2. E2E Tests (Playwright)
-Tests complete user flows in a real browser.
-
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e          # Run all E2E tests
-npm run test:e2e:ui       # Run with UI mode (visual)
-npm run test:e2e:headed   # Run with visible browser
-npm run test:e2e:debug    # Debug mode
-```
-
-### 3. Critical Path Tests
-Tests the most important user flows.
-
-```bash
-npm run test:critical     # Run critical path tests only
-```
-
-### 4. Hydration Tests
-Ensures React hydration works without errors.

-npm run test:all
-
-# Or manually:
-npm run build
-npm run lint
-npx tsc --noEmit
-npm run test
-npm run test:critical
-npm run test:hydration
-```
-
-## 🔧 Configuration
-
-### Playwright Config
-Located in `playwright.config.ts`
-
-- **Base URL**: `http://localhost:3000` (or set `PLAYWRIGHT_TEST_BASE_URL`)
-- **Browsers**: Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, Mobile Chrome, Mobile Safari
-- **Retries**: 2 retries in CI, 0 locally
-- **Screenshots**: On failure
-- **Videos**: On failure
-
-### Jest Config
-Located in `jest.config.ts`
-
-- **Environment**: jsdom
-- **Coverage**: v8 provider
-- **Setup**: `jest.setup.ts`
-
-## 🐛 Debugging Tests
-
-### Playwright Debug Mode
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e:debug
-```
-
-This opens Playwright Inspector where you can:
-- Step through tests
-- Inspect elements
-- View console logs
-- See network requests
-
-### UI Mode (Visual)
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e:ui
-```
-
-Shows a visual interface to:
-- See all tests
-- Run specific tests
-- Watch tests execute
-- View results
-
-### Headed Mode
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e:headed
-```
-
-Runs tests with visible browser (useful for debugging).
-
-## 📊 Test Reports
-
-### Playwright HTML Report
-After running E2E tests:
-```bash
-npx playwright show-report
-```
-
-Shows:
-- Test results
-- Screenshots on failure
-- Videos on failure
-- Timeline of test execution
-
-### Jest Coverage Report
-```bash
-npm run test:coverage
-```
-
-Generates coverage report in `coverage/` directory.
-
-## 🚨 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
-```
-
-### Pre-Push Hook
-Add to `.git/hooks/pre-push`:
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-npm run test:all
-```
