Security hardening and performance improvements

- Add visibility check to attachment downloads (prevents unauthorized access)
- Fix ticket ID collision with uniqueness verification loop
- Harden CSP: replace unsafe-inline with nonce-based script execution
- Add IP-based rate limiting (supplements session-based)
- Add visibility checks to bulk operations
- Validate internal visibility requires groups
- Optimize user activity query (JOINs vs subqueries)
- Update documentation with design decisions and security info

**Security Features** (January 2026):
- CSP with nonce-based script execution (no unsafe-inline)
- IP-based rate limiting (prevents session bypass attacks)
- Visibility checks on attachment downloads
- Unique ticket ID generation with collision prevention
- Internal visibility requires groups validation
## Design Decisions
**Not Planned / Out of Scope**:
- Email integration - Discord webhooks are the notification method for this system
- SLA management - Not required for internal infrastructure use
- Time tracking - Out of scope for current requirements
- OAuth2/External identity providers - Authelia is the only approved SSO method
- GraphQL API - REST API is sufficient for current needs
**Wiki Documentation**: https://wiki.lotusguild.org/en/Services/service-tinker-tickets
## Project Overview
Tinker Tickets is a feature-rich, self-hosted ticket management system built for managing data center infrastructure issues. It features SSO integration with Authelia/LLDAP, workflow management, Discord notifications, and a retro terminal-style web interface.

### Core Tables
- `tickets` - Core ticket data with assignment and visibility
- `ticket_comments` - Markdown-supported comments
- `ticket_attachments` - File attachment metadata
- `ticket_dependencies` - Ticket relationships
- `users` - User accounts synced from LLDAP (includes groups)
- `user_preferences` - User settings and preferences
- `audit_log` - Complete audit trail
- `status_transitions` - Workflow configuration
- `ticket_templates` - Reusable ticket templates
- `recurring_tickets` - Scheduled ticket definitions
- `custom_field_definitions` - Custom field schemas
- `custom_field_values` - Custom field data per ticket
- `saved_filters` - User-saved dashboard filters
- `bulk_operations` - Bulk operation tracking
- `api_keys` - API key storage with hashes

| `tickets` | Core ticket data with assignment, visibility, and tracking |
| `ticket_comments` | Markdown-supported comments with user_id reference |
| `ticket_attachments` | File attachment metadata |
| `ticket_dependencies` | Ticket relationships (blocks, blocked_by, relates_to, duplicates) |

### Ticket Visibility Columns
- `visibility` - ENUM('public', 'internal', 'confidential')
- `visibility_groups` - VARCHAR(500) comma-separated group names
### tickets Table Key Columns
| Column | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `ticket_id` | varchar(9) | Unique 9-digit identifier |
| `visibility` | enum | 'public', 'internal', 'confidential' |
| `visibility_groups` | varchar(500) | Comma-separated group names (for internal) |
| `created_by` | int | Foreign key to users |
| `assigned_to` | int | Foreign key to users (nullable) |
| `updated_by` | int | Foreign key to users |
| `priority` | int | 1-5 (1=Critical, 5=Minimal) |
| `status` | varchar(20) | Open, Pending, In Progress, Closed |
### Indexed Columns (for performance)
- `tickets`: ticket_id (unique), status, priority, created_at, created_by, assigned_to, visibility
- `audit_log`: user_id, action_type, entity_type, created_at
## Dashboard Features

## Ticket Visibility Levels
- **Public**: All authenticated users can view
- **Internal**: Only users in specified groups can view
- **Internal**: Only users in specified groups can view (groups required)
- **Confidential**: Only creator, assignee, and admins can view
**Important**: Internal visibility requires at least one group to be specified. Attempting to create/update a ticket with internal visibility but no groups will fail validation.
## Important Notes for AI Assistants
1. **Session format**: `$_SESSION['user']['user_id']` (not `$_SESSION['user_id']`)

11. **Session in APIs**: RateLimitMiddleware starts session; don't call session_start() again
12. **Database collation**: Use `utf8mb4_general_ci` (not unicode_ci) for new tables
13. **Ticket ID extraction**: Use `getTicketIdFromUrl()` helper in JS files
14. **CSP Nonces**: All inline scripts require `nonce="<?php echo $nonce; ?>"` attribute
15. **Visibility validation**: Internal visibility requires groups; code validates this
16. **Rate limiting**: Both session-based AND IP-based limits are enforced
