+## 🔵 Improvements from Main Branch Merge
+
+The main branch included significant security and architectural improvements that were incorporated:
+
+### Enhanced Authentication System
+- **Token Storage:** Encrypted token storage in FalkorDB with revocation support
+- **Token Management:** Personal access tokens (PATs) with CRUD operations
+- **Token Revocation:** Active token validation prevents use of revoked tokens
+- **Connection Health Checks:** Automatic ping checks before reusing connections
+
+### Input Validation Framework
+- **Centralized Validation:** New `validate-body.ts` module with Zod schemas
+- **Type-Safe Validation:** Schema validation for all API endpoints
+- **Consistent Error Handling:** Standardized validation error responses
+
+### API Structure Improvements
+- **Element-based Routes:** `[node]` routes renamed to `[element]` for consistency
+- **Modular Endpoints:** Better organized with separate count/edges/nodes routes
+- **Disabled Schema Routes:** Schema management routes marked with `_` prefix (disabled)

 ### 2. Dependency Vulnerabilities (HIGH)
 **Location:** `package.json`, `package-lock.json`
 
-**Vulnerabilities Found:**
+**Vulnerabilities Found (Original):**
 - next-auth <4.24.12 (Email misdelivery) - MODERATE
 - playwright <1.55.1 (SSL verification bypass) - HIGH  
 - validator <13.15.20 (URL validation bypass) - MODERATE
 - Total: 4 vulnerabilities (2 high, 2 moderate)
 
+**Vulnerabilities After Merge:**
+- next <15.5.8 (Server Actions exposure, DoS) - HIGH
+- Total: 1 high severity vulnerability
+
 **Fix Applied:**
-- ✅ Ran `npm audit fix` to update all vulnerable packages
+- ✅ Ran `npm audit fix` to update all vulnerable packages (original)
+- ✅ Ran `npm audit fix --force` to update Next.js to 15.5.9 (after merge)
+- ✅ Verified: 0 vulnerabilities remaining
 
 **Risk Reduction:** HIGH → NONE (0 vulnerabilities)

 ### 3. Sensitive Data in JWT Tokens (MEDIUM)
 **Location:** `app/api/auth/login/route.ts`, `app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/options.ts`
 
-**Issue Found:**
+**Issue Found (Original):**
 - User passwords stored in JWT token payload
 - Tokens could be decoded revealing credentials
 - Increased attack surface if token is compromised
 
-**Fix Applied:**
+**Fix Applied (Original):**
 - ✅ Removed password from JWT payload
 - ✅ Modified authentication to rely on server-side connection pool
-- ✅ JWT now only contains non-sensitive connection metadata
 
-**Risk Reduction:** MEDIUM → LOW
+**Enhanced in Main Branch:**
+- ✅ Encrypted token storage system with FalkorDB backend
+- ✅ Token revocation support via database checks
+- ✅ Passwords never stored in JWTs, retrieved securely from token DB
+- ✅ Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for API authentication
+
+**Risk Reduction:** MEDIUM → VERY LOW
+
+**Note:** Main branch's `app/api/auth/login/route.ts` was removed in favor of the new token-based authentication system via `/api/auth/tokens/credentials`.

 ### 4. Cypher Injection Vulnerabilities (MEDIUM)
-**Location:** `app/api/schema/[schema]/[node]/route.ts`
+**Location:** `app/api/schema/[schema]/[node]/route.ts` → `app/api/graph/[graph]/[element]/route.ts`
 
-**Issues Found:**
+**Issues Found (Original):**
 - Label names directly concatenated into Cypher queries
 - Node IDs not validated before use in queries
 - Potential for query manipulation
 
-**Fixes Applied:**
+**Fixes Applied (Original):**
 - ✅ Added regex validation for label names (alphanumeric + underscore/hyphen only)
 - ✅ Validated node IDs are non-negative integers
-- ✅ Retained existing parameterized query usage where possible
 
-**Risk Reduction:** MEDIUM → LOW
+**Enhanced in Main Branch:**
+- ✅ Centralized validation with Zod schemas in `validate-body.ts`
+- ✅ Type-safe schema validation for all graph operations
+- ✅ Parameterized queries with proper escaping
+- ✅ Consistent validation across graph and schema endpoints
+
+**Risk Reduction:** MEDIUM → VERY LOW
+
+**Note:** Original `[node]` routes were refactored to `[element]` routes with improved validation.

 ### 5. Information Disclosure via Error Messages (MEDIUM)
 **Locations:** Multiple API routes
 
-**Issues Found:**
+**Issues Found (Original):**
 - Detailed error messages exposed internal system information
 - Stack traces potentially leaked in production
 - Error messages revealed database structure
 
-**Fixes Applied:**
-- ✅ Sanitized all error messages across API routes
+**Fixes Applied (Original):**
+- ✅ Sanitized error messages across multiple API routes  
 - ✅ Generic error messages for client-facing errors
 - ✅ Detailed errors logged server-side only
-- ✅ Removed console.error from critical paths
 
-**Risk Reduction:** MEDIUM → LOW
+**Status After Merge:**
+- ⚠️ Main branch still has some `console.error()` calls exposing error details
+- ✅ Most routes use generic error messages
+- ⚠️ Minor: Some routes still expose `(error as Error).message` to clients
+
+**Risk Reduction:** MEDIUM → LOW (with minor remaining issues)
+
+**Recommendation:** Continue effort to sanitize remaining error messages in future PRs.

 ### 6. Missing Input Validation (MEDIUM)
 **Locations:** Multiple API endpoints
 
-**Issues Found:**
+**Issues Found (Original):**
 - User management endpoints lacked input validation
 - Graph and schema operations accepted arbitrary input
 - No format validation for usernames, graph IDs, etc.
 
-**Fixes Applied:**
-- ✅ Username validation: alphanumeric + underscore/hyphen, no special chars
+**Fixes Applied (Original):**
+- ✅ Username validation: alphanumeric + underscore/hyphen
 - ✅ Password validation: minimum 8 characters
 - ✅ Graph ID validation: non-empty string check
 - ✅ Node ID validation: non-negative integer check
 - ✅ Array validation: proper type and length checks
-- ✅ Timeout validation: non-negative number check
+
+**Enhanced in Main Branch:**
+- ✅ Comprehensive Zod schemas in `validate-body.ts`
+- ✅ Type-safe validation with automatic error messages
+- ✅ Validation for: createGraphElement, deleteGraphElement, renameGraph, updateUser, createUser
+- ✅ Consistent validation patterns across all endpoints
 
 **Endpoints Secured:**
-- `/api/user` (POST, DELETE)
-- `/api/user/[user]` (PATCH)
-- `/api/graph/[graph]` (GET, DELETE, PATCH)
-- `/api/graph/[graph]/[node]` (GET, DELETE)
-- `/api/schema/[schema]/[node]` (POST)
+- `/api/user` (POST, DELETE) - ✅ Enhanced with Zod
+- `/api/user/[user]` (PATCH) - ✅ Enhanced with Zod
+- `/api/graph/[graph]` (GET, DELETE, PATCH) - ✅ Enhanced with Zod
+- `/api/graph/[graph]/[element]` (GET, POST, DELETE) - ✅ New with validation
+- `/api/schema/[schema]/[element]` - ⚠️ Disabled (marked with `_` prefix)
