Root cause of "Google authentication failed": appsettings.Development.json
had Auth:GoogleClientId set to the literal placeholder
"CHANGE_ME_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID" while the frontend's .env.development had a
real (already-public, already-committed) client ID -- every Google ID
token's audience check failed against the backend's placeholder. Fixed
by setting the same real client ID on both sides (a client ID is a
public identifier, not a secret, safe to commit -- unlike a client
secret). Also enabled Auth:AllowRegistration in dev so the existing
Google-first self-serve-signup path (auto-create on unmatched verified
email, auto-link on matching verified email -- built during Wave 7) is
actually exercisable locally.
Wired the previously-missing Auth__MicrosoftClientId /
NEXT_PUBLIC_MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID into docker-compose.yml/.env.example
(distinct from the existing MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID used for Outlook mail
linking) -- Microsoft sign-in was never deployable, a leftover gap from
when it was built. Fixed a stale env-var name in the Microsoft setup
hint copy (still said REACT_APP_*, predates the Next.js migration).
Removed the per-user accent color picker entirely: it was purely
client-side (localStorage + theme.ts), never touched the backend/DB.
theme.ts now hardcodes a single ACCENT constant; themePrefs.ts drops
get/set/clearAccentColor; App.tsx and SettingsView.tsx drop the
accentColor prop threading. Dead accent-related i18n keys removed from
both locales.
Consolidated Settings' "Account" tab (duplicated GoogleAuthCard, which
already lives on the Profile page) into Profile: moved AuthStatusCard
and EmailProviderConnections there alongside the existing Google/
Microsoft auth cards, so identity/account-linking lives in one place.
Settings drops from 5 tabs to 4 and its General tab uses a consistent
SectionCard layout instead of ad-hoc per-card styling.
Verified: dotnet build/test (177/177) and npm build/test (57/57) both
green; confirmed live against a running dev server that /auth/config
now reports googleEnabled with the corrected client ID, Settings has
no accent controls, and Profile shows the consolidated auth section.
First UI slice toward the product mockups. Shifts the shared MUI theme to match
the mockup identity without restructuring components:
- Default accent -> indigo #6366f1 (drives primary buttons, active nav, and the
Applied/Interview status colours). Users with a custom accent keep theirs.
- Light app background -> #F4F6FB with white paper, giving the layered dashboard
look (cards/inputs sit above a soft grey canvas).
- Global corner radius 8 -> 10 to match the mockups' rounder cards.
- Accent picker: offer indigo/cyan/violet presets first (kept #15803d).
Behaviour-only theme change. Frontend suite: 38/39 pass; the 1 failure
(end-to-end-trust-loop tailored-CV) is pre-existing on this branch (verified by
running it on the clean tree) and unrelated.
