README documented ErrorHandler.php as a "global error/exception
handler", but ErrorHandler::init() had exactly one caller app-wide
(api/get_template.php). 13 endpoints never called
ini_set('display_errors', 0) at all, relying on the server's global
php.ini default, and index.php never registered any handler — a
genuine PHP fatal during a page render fell through to PHP's raw
default handling with no app-level 500 response, styled or otherwise.
Investigating the "13 endpoints" claim turned up that 9 of them
(assign_ticket.php, audit_log.php, check_duplicates.php,
get_comments.php, get_users.php, notifications.php, saved_filters.php,
user_preferences.php, watch_ticket.php) already require
api/bootstrap.php as their first statement, which itself calls
ini_set('display_errors', 0) — so they were never actually exposed;
the static grep just couldn't see through the require. The 3 that
were genuinely unprotected (bulk_operation.php, download_attachment.php,
health.php) are fixed here. ticket_dependencies.php already has its
own complete hand-rolled equivalent (shutdown handler, error handler,
exception handler, output-buffer aware) and was deliberately left
alone rather than risk double-registering handlers.
Rather than duplicate the fix 30+ times, wired ErrorHandler::init()
directly into api/bootstrap.php (covering all 9 files above at once)
and into each of the other endpoints' own ini_set/error_reporting
pair, replacing it in place — additive only: existing try/catch blocks
in every endpoint still handle what they already handled identically,
this only adds a safety net for genuinely uncaught fatals that fell
through everything else. Before doing this app-wide, removed
ErrorHandler::init()'s override of PHP's 'error_log' ini setting: it
redirected every error_log() call in the request to a fixed /tmp file,
which would have silently diverted logs away from wherever the server
is actually configured to send them the moment this got wired into
more than one endpoint. That override only existed to support
getRecentErrors(), which has zero callers app-wide.
For index.php (page views, not JSON), added an 'html' response mode to
ErrorHandler that renders a new views/error_500.php instead of a JSON
body. That view is deliberately self-contained (no layout_header.php,
no $GLOBALS/session/DB dependency) since a genuine fatal can happen
before config.php finishes loading or mid-session-start.
Verified: a real uncaught error with no prior output correctly
produces a clean JSON 500 (API mode) or the styled HTML page (page
mode) to the client while the full stack trace goes to error_log, not
the response; normal (non-fatal) requests through both a
bootstrap.php-based endpoint and index.php are byte-for-byte
unaffected. Full project phpcs pass is clean.

api/bootstrap.php's centralized CSRF handling echoes
CsrfMiddleware::getToken() on a 403 rejection specifically so
lt.api's client-side resync (assets/js/base.js) can recover once
window.CSRF_TOKEN goes stale (token expiry, or a write in another tab
rotating the shared session-scoped token). 12 endpoints duplicate
CsrfMiddleware::validateToken() inline instead of routing through
bootstrap.php, and their 403 body omitted csrf_token entirely —
custom_fields.php, clone_ticket.php, delete_comment.php,
delete_attachment.php, bulk_operation.php, generate_api_key.php,
manage_templates.php, manage_recurring.php, revoke_api_key.php,
manage_workflows.php, ticket_dependencies.php, and
upload_attachment.php.
Once a client's token drifted out of sync, the next write to any of
these 12 endpoints returned a 403 with no way to self-heal — every
subsequent write to any endpoint kept failing until a manual reload,
since the resync mechanism was only wired up on a minority of the
app's write surface. Took the minimal fix the issue names as
sufficient (add 'csrf_token' => CsrfMiddleware::getToken() to each
rejection body) rather than restructuring all 12 through bootstrap.php,
to avoid behavioral risk from rewiring each endpoint's differing
auth/bootstrapping. generate_api_key.php and revoke_api_key.php threw
a generic Exception for this case (swallowed into a plain error-message
response with no room for extra fields), so those two now short-circuit
with a direct JSON response instead, matching the other 10.
Verified end-to-end against real running endpoints with a real
session and real MariaDB: sent a wrong CSRF token to one endpoint of
each response shape (plain json_encode, ResponseHelper::error, and the
formerly exception-based path) and confirmed all three now return the
current valid csrf_token in the 403 body.

- Preserve source ticket ID as string (ctype_digit validation)
instead of int-casting with (int)
- Use $sourceTicket['ticket_id'] (canonical DB form) when creating
the relates_to dependency and audit log entry; avoids storing
"123456" instead of "000123456" which breaks string-based
depends_on_id lookups in DependencyModel

StatsModel::invalidateCache() was never called from any API, so the
60s cached stats persisted after bulk assign/status/priority changes,
ticket updates, assignments, and clones. Dashboard tiles showed stale
counts until the TTL expired.
Added invalidation to the four APIs that affect dashboard stat tiles:
- bulk_operation.php: after successful bulk assign/status/priority
- assign_ticket.php: after successful reassignment
- update_ticket.php: after any successful ticket update
- clone_ticket.php: after successful clone (open_tickets changes)

- TicketModel::getAllTickets() now accepts optional $user param and applies
getVisibilityFilter() so non-admin users cannot see internal/confidential
tickets they lack access to from the dashboard listing
- DashboardController passes $GLOBALS['currentUser'] to getAllTickets()
- clone_ticket.php: move Content-Type header to top so all error paths send
correct JSON content type
- AuthMiddleware: filter group names from HTTP header to [a-z0-9_-] only,
preventing header injection via malformed group names
- add_comment.php: return HTTP 201 on success, 500 in catch block
- update_comment.php, delete_comment.php: return 500 in catch blocks

- clone_ticket.php: replace custom visibility check with centralized canUserAccessTicket(); return 404 (not 403) for inaccessible tickets
- README.md: remove bootstrap.php from the API endpoints table (it's a shared include, not a public endpoint); correct its project structure description

CSS fixes:
- Fix [ ] brackets appearing below button text by replacing display:inline-flex
with display:inline-block + white-space:nowrap on .btn — removes cross-browser
flex pseudo-element inconsistency as root cause
- Remove conflicting .btn::before ripple block (position:absolute was overriding
bracket content positioning)
- Remove overflow:hidden from .btn which was clipping bracket content
- Fix body::after duplicate rule causing GPU layer blink (second position:fixed
rule re-created compositor layer, overriding display:none suppression)
- Replace all transition:all with scoped property transitions in dashboard.css,
ticket.css, base.css (prevents full CSS property evaluation on every hover)
- Convert pulse-warning/pulse-critical keyframes from box-shadow to opacity
animation (GPU-composited, eliminates CPU repaints at 60fps)
- Fix mobile *::before/*::after blanket content:none rule — now targets only
decorative frame glyphs, preserving button brackets and status indicators
- Remove --terminal-green-dim override that broke .lt-btn hover backgrounds
JS fixes:
- Fix all lt.lt.toast.* double-prefix instances in dashboard.js
- Add null guard before .appendChild() on bulkAssignUser select
- Replace all remaining emoji with terminal bracket notation (dashboard.js,
ticket.js, markdown.js)
- Migrate all toast.*() shim calls to lt.toast.* across all JS files
View fixes:
- Remove hardcoded [ ] brackets from .btn buttons (CSS now adds them)
- Replace all emoji with terminal bracket notation in all views and admin views
- Add missing CSP nonces to AuditLogView.php and UserActivityView.php script tags
- Bump CSS version strings to ?v=20260319b for cache busting
Security fixes:
- update_ticket.php: add authorization check (non-admins can only edit their own
or assigned tickets)
- add_comment.php: validate and cast ticket_id to integer with 400 response
- clone_ticket.php: fix unconditional session_start(), add ticket ID validation,
add internal ticket access check
- bulk_operation.php: add HTTP 401/403 status codes on auth failures
- upload_attachment.php: fix missing $conn arg in AttachmentModel constructor
- assign_ticket.php: add ticket existence check and permission verification
