- Removed unnecessary try-except block for JWT encoding failures.
- Adjusted test to directly verify `TokenInvalidError` during decoding.
- Clarified comment on HMAC algorithm compatibility (`HS384` vs. `HS256`).
- Migrated JWT token handling from `python-jose` to `PyJWT`, reducing dependencies and improving error clarity.
- Replaced `passlib` bcrypt integration with direct `bcrypt` usage for password hashing.
- Updated `Makefile`, removing unused CVE ignore based on the replaced dependencies.
- Reflected changes in `ARCHITECTURE.md` and adjusted function headers in `auth.py`.
- Cleaned up `uv.lock` and `pyproject.toml` to remove unused dependencies (`ecdsa`, `rsa`, etc.) and add `PyJWT`.
- Refactored tests and services to align with the updated libraries (`PyJWT` error handling, decoding, and validation).
- Introduced `pyproject.toml` to centralize backend tool configurations (e.g., Ruff, mypy, coverage, pytest).
- Replaced Black, isort, and Flake8 with Ruff for linting, formatting, and import sorting.
- Updated `requirements.txt` to include Ruff and remove replaced tools.
- Added `Makefile` to streamline development workflows with commands for linting, formatting, type-checking, testing, and cleanup.
- **Configurations:** Test minimum `SECRET_KEY` length validation to prevent weak JWT signing keys. Validate proper handling of secure defaults.
- **Permissions:** Add tests for inactive user blocking, API access control, and superuser privilege escalation across organizational roles.
- **Authentication:** Test logout safety, session revocation, token replay prevention, and defense against JWT algorithm confusion attacks.
- Include `# pragma: no cover` for unreachable defensive code in security-sensitive areas.
