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.

- create_ticket_api.php: validate status (against TICKET_STATUSES) and
priority (numeric 1-5). A non-numeric priority previously cast to 0 and
escalated the ticket below P1 on the dedup/update path.
- manage_workflows.php: reject empty/invalid from_status/to_status on POST
and PUT (must be valid ticket statuses) so the workflow table can't be
populated with bogus transitions.
- TicketModel::getAllTickets: COUNT(*) OVER() rides on returned rows, so a
page past the last row returned total/pages = 0. Fall back to a direct
COUNT when an over-range page yields no rows, keeping pager math correct.
- DashboardView: stop double-escaping category/type/assigned active-filter
labels (they were htmlspecialchars'd into the label and again at output,
rendering R&D as R&D); output escaping is retained.
- check_duplicates.php / NotificationHelper::notifyWatchers: wrap the DB
lookups in try/catch so a failed prepare/query degrades gracefully
(advisory dup-check returns none; best-effort watcher notify is skipped)
instead of fataling the request. Works whether mysqli throws or returns
false. (manage_* endpoints already have a top-level try/catch.)

- TicketView.php: Show 3 lt-skeleton-card placeholders in the comment list
while "Load more" fetches; skeletons are removed on resolve or error
- ticket.css: Add .comment-skeleton margin spacing
- WorkflowDesignerView.php + manage_workflows.php: Prevent creating/editing
status transitions where from_status === to_status (client + server check)
- RecurringTicketsView.php: Expand monthly day picker from 28 to 31 days
(days 29-31 labelled "last day in short months")
- RecurringTicketModel.php: Clamp monthly schedule day to last day of target
month using format('t') instead of hard-capping at 28

- Extract expression args to local variables before bind_param (PHP 8 requirement)
- Guard session_start with session_status check in manage_workflows
- Remove redundant session_start from bulk_operation (RateLimitMiddleware starts it)

- Replace style="text-align:center" with .lt-text-center utility class in
WorkflowDesignerView, CustomFieldsView, error_403, error_404, DashboardView JS string
- Replace style="margin-top:..." with .lt-mt-sm utility in WorkflowDesignerView
- Switch comment-edit-raw data-store textareas to .is-hidden class (TicketView PHP
+ JS-rendered; ticket.js template literal) — these are never shown, only read via .value
- Add aria-describedby="visibilityGroupsHint" + id on hint <p> in CreateTicketView
- Fix bind_param type string bug in manage_workflows.php PUT handler: 'ssiiiii' → 'ssiiii'
(7 type chars for 6 params caused binding error on workflow transition updates)

- add_comment, update_comment, delete_comment
- update_ticket, export_tickets
- generate_api_key, revoke_api_key
- manage_templates, manage_workflows, manage_recurring
