Two changes that drop the friction in self-hosting RefBoard so the install
story becomes "docker compose up, open the URL".
1. JWT_SECRET is now optional. On first boot the backend generates a
64-byte random secret and persists it in the existing settings table.
process.env.JWT_SECRET still wins when set, so ops setups that manage
secrets out-of-band are unaffected. The prod-throws-without-env guard
is gone (auto-generation is a strictly safer default than the previous
hardcoded dev fallback).
2. STORAGE_BACKEND=fs|minio picks between MinIO (default, unchanged) and
a new local-filesystem adapter. The FS adapter exposes a fake minioClient
that mirrors the methods RefBoard calls (statObject, getObject,
getPartialObject, listObjectsV2, putObject, removeObject(s), bucketExists,
makeBucket), so consumers swap require('./minio') for require('./storage')
and nothing else changes. Sidecar .mime files hold Content-Type so the
range-aware media proxy still serves the right response headers.
examples/compose/minimal-fs.yml is the single-container variant that uses
the FS adapter. The default docker-compose.yml still spins up MinIO.
README quick-start collapses to one block (cp .env, docker compose pull,
docker compose up -d). The first user you register on the Login screen is
auto-promoted to admin, same as before.

- Add read-only status indicator (StatusBar + StatusIndicator)
- Fix beforeunload save to use fetch+keepalive with auth header
- Socket reconnect now rejoins board room automatically
- Canvas setup uses polling instead of brittle 200ms timer
- Fix double user:left on disconnect (use disconnecting event, snapshot rooms)
- Thread + comment creation wrapped in db.transaction
- Prevent owner downgrade via addCollectionMember (check existing member)
- Bound redirect depth in downloadImage to 5
- Arrangement operations anchor to bounding box top-left (no drift)
- Distribute H/V also anchor to top-left
- Fix annotations fetch to use axios api instance (401 interceptor)
- Replace require() with static import in shortcut-definitions
Full-featured PureRef-style collaborative canvas for game dev teams:
- Layer panel with visibility, lock, drag reorder, group/ungroup (Ctrl+G/Shift+G)
- Arrangement tools (grid, row, column) via right-click context menu
- Copy to system clipboard (Ctrl+C writes PNG for external paste in Paint etc.)
- Number shortcuts (1-5) for tool selection with visible shortcut badges
- Premium dark UI across all pages (Login, Collections, Boards, Editor)
- Socket.IO rooms for cursors, transforms, and presence notifications
