REFACTOR + BUG FIXES COMPLETE!

After ~40 hours, I completed a large application-wide refactor, added collaborative note review tools, and focused heavily on reliability :)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed calendar feed validation (you can no longer add random links) and syncing issues with read-only collaborative notes.
• Fixed duplicate cookie-consent dialogs and the privacy-details link (shout out to the ones who caught it in ship #3!).
• Fixed Nest Announcements rendering errors.
• Fixed chat messages failing after the first send, leaking between rooms, or appearing only after a refresh.
• Fixed file uploads, including CSRF handling, error responses, and cleanup after failed uploads.
• Fixed task priority, deadline, recurrence, and floating-menu interactions becoming unresponsive (it was pretty annoying).
• Fixed logout behavior (thank you to the one who caught this!)
• Added profile length validation (thank you to the one who caught this in Ship 3!)
• Improved GitHub authentication diagnostics and callback/session handling (again thanks to the one who caught it in ship 3!!).

Improvements

• Split large chat, notes, calendar, dashboard, file, onboarding, and admin systems into focused modules and services so they can be tested and changed independently.
• Reworked chat synchronization to be more stable.
• Reduced duplicate chat, presence, notification, and database work.
• Consolidated templates and shared frontend styling into a more consistent design (yay!).

Major Features

• Added inline comments to shared notes, including ‘anchored’ discussions, editing and deletion, review events, and suggestions.
• Added administrative calendar-feed health reporting so broken or unsafe subscriptions are easier to diagnose (for admins).
• **Major architectural refactor across 200+ files!!
