Audit pass with the threats that actually apply to a self-hosted, account-less
app: getting the Ollama key throttled or banned, and someone grinding the app
down. Per-route windows already existed; these are the missing layers.
- lib/model-guard.ts: every route that spends a model call now takes a slot —
60 calls per window across all clients (RATE_LIMIT_MODEL_TOTAL), 3 in flight
per IP, 6 in total — and the slot is released when the call finishes, on
errors and on client disconnects. Over the concurrency cap answers 429
kind=busy, not a punishment. Slots are taken after every cheap rejection so
a malformed request cannot hold one (found by the new suite: early 400s
were leaking slots).
- Images must be base64 data URLs (dataUrlSchema in lib/schemas): a plain URL
in an images field made Ollama fetch an arbitrary address on our behalf.
- Push endpoints must be a real push service (PUSH_ALLOWED_HOSTS, defaulting
to FCM/Mozilla/Apple/WNS): the server POSTs to whatever is stored.
- The rate-limit identity is the LAST x-forwarded-for hop. Reading the first
let a client spoof its own IP and dodge every per-IP limit.
- Disk guards: reports.jsonl stops at REPORTS_MAX_BYTES (8 MB), reminder
devices cap at PUSH_MAX_SUBSCRIPTIONS (50).
- Security headers: frame-ancestors 'none' + X-Frame-Options DENY, nosniff, a
referrer policy and a Permissions-Policy without camera/mic/geo/payment.
New tests/security-test.mjs (13 checks, registered in run-all) proves each
guard against a slow stub Ollama with deliberately tiny limits. README:
security notes + rate-limit tables updated. Version 0.1.3, SW -> v51.
- Conversations in a versioned IndexedDB store (freezmo-chat v1, zod
validated with the same schema backup/sync use, capped at 100 x 300).
Settled turns persist (question always; answer when produced, partial
stops included); ?c=<id> keeps reloads on the conversation via
history.replaceState (no router round-trip mid-chat).
- History UI: desktop column, phone sheet (spring, backdrop, Escape),
auto titles from the first question, inline rename, delete with an
Undo toast, diacritic-folding search over titles and message text.
Scope and model are remembered per conversation; history is readable
offline.
- Assistant actions: Turn into flashcards (New deck with the answer as
notes, landing on the options step - deck seed gained step) and Save
to notes (appends to the single scoped deck, trimmed at 40k).
- Chats travel in the backup export (preview counts them) and in the
encrypted sync payload; still never the key.
- Motion from lib/motion.ts: message fade-up, sheet springs for the
model/context/history sheets, 150ms composer height transition, all
skipped under reduced motion.
- Tests: chat suite 63 -> 89 checks (history, reload, rename/search/
delete/undo, actions, export, two-device sync round-trip, offline,
desktop panel). Full set: 12/12 suites, 513 checks. SW -> freezmo-v33.
Also: tests/model-compare.mjs benchmark (diagnostic) for deciding the
default text model on numbers; defaults unchanged.
Check my work (third homework mode)
- One model call with its own system prompt marks the student's own
attempt: verdict, what's right, each issue with why + fix, and the
corrected version that keeps everything the student got right.
Unasked-for extras are never errors. The attempt is typed/pasted
(photos of handwriting are documented as unsupported) and stored in
the record so Redo re-checks the same work.
- Server: mode "check" + solution on POST /api/homework (zod, 400
server.needSolution without one) and the same NDJSON stream; new
checkHomework() pipeline with repair-once validation.
Follow-ups
- New POST /api/homework/refine (plain JSON, RATE_LIMIT_REFINE, zod,
auth before body): shorter / more detail / explain, plain text back,
language preserved.
- Shorter + More detail + Original rewrite the finished answer and the
corrected version in place (FollowUpBar); every guide step has
Explain step N differently; failed calls say so without losing text.
Turn into a study deck
- Any result hands its content (answer, corrected version or assembled
guide) to New deck through a one-shot sessionStorage seed with the
options step pre-filled.
UI
- Phone step 2 gains the third card: tapping it reveals the solution
field + submit; desktop has three cards and the solution field shows
with the mode. Homework history labels and share/card previews cover
the new mode.
Verified: new phase-3 suite 20/20 against a stub Ollama (check payload,
missing-solution 400, refine validation, phone + desktop check flows,
shorter follow-up with restore, guide explain, deck hand-off) plus
regression 74/74, mobile 52/52, declutter 116/116, wizard 80/80,
animation 8/8, native 35/35, phase1 38/38, phase2 43/43, i18n 25/25.
Key parity 734/734. Lint + build clean. SW freezmo-v27.
Answer history and schedules
- Every answer is recorded (deck, activity, topic, correct/wrong, time)
in a versioned IndexedDB log (freezmo-learning v1, stores answers +
srs), mirrored in memory for synchronous React reads and capped at
20k answers (oldest pruned). StudyFeed records as it grades.
- Light SM-2 schedule per activity: 1 day, 3 days, then interval x
ease; wrong answers return in ten minutes with the ease nudged down.
Review, mistakes, stats
- Library 'Smart review' card: due count, mistakes count (latest
answer wrong — clears itself when answered correctly), today's goal
progress. Review sessions freeze their item list at start.
- New /review (due across decks, ?mistakes=1 global or ?deck= per
deck) built on a shared SessionFeed with the study feed's snap/keyboard
mechanics, wake lock and a results slide.
- New /stats: day streak, five-week calendar, accuracy per subject and
per deck, weakest topics (>=3 answers), daily-goal progress.
- Daily goal configurable in Settings (10/20/30/50).
Exam mode
- New /exam: pick decks, question count, optional timer; no hints
(a NoHints context hides hint rows and the self-check escape);
results with score, per-deck and per-topic breakdown; wrong answers
land in the mistakes set through the normal history.
Reminders (conditional)
- VAPID-gated: GET/POST/DELETE /api/push and POST /api/push/test with
the standard route pattern, RATE_LIMIT_PUSH, zod, auth before body.
Subscriptions stored server-side as endpoint + keys only (PUSH_DIR).
UI hidden entirely without keys; iOS install note; service worker
push/notificationclick handlers; scripts/send-reminders.mjs for a
cron/systemd timer; web-push added as the one server dependency.
Verified: new phase-2 suite 42/42 (history/SRS shapes from a real study
run, mistakes clearing, review session, stats math, exam timer and
breakdowns, VAPID-less hidden state plus the configured
subscribe/validate/test/delete path against a second instance) plus
regression 74/74, mobile 52/52, wizard 80/80, declutter 116/116,
animation 8/8, native 35/35, phase1 38/38, i18n 25/25. Key parity
709/709. Lint + build clean. SW freezmo-v26.
Homework (/homework — entry points in the drawer and on the create screen)
- Assignment intake reuses the study pipeline: pasted text, photos
(camera/picker, compressed in the browser) and documents (PDF/DOCX/PPTX/
ODT/text) through lib/image + lib/documents, the same vision step and the
same language guard. Raw files never leave the device — only text and JPEG
data URLs reach the server.
- Two large choice cards: “Just make it” returns the finished homework
(answer only, plain text, copy + make it again); “Explain how to make this
homework” builds an interactive guide.
- The guide is one step per screen in the study-feed snap layout:
explanation, three progressive hints (nudge -> hint -> the answer) and an
optional checkpoint rendered by the existing activity components (graded
through /api/grade). The last screen assembles the solution from the step
answers, with a copy button. Checkpoints carry xp 0 so the guide stays free
of XP/streak chrome.
- Results live in freezmo.homework.v1 with a small history (open/delete);
“Make it again” re-runs from the stored assignment text (the vision
transcription when photos were used) — no original files are stored.
- The answer and the guide are written in the assignment's language, never
translated into the UI language.
Server
- POST /api/homework: NDJSON stage events like /api/generate, the same
http-guard, auth checked before parsing, and its own RATE_LIMIT_HOMEWORK
(documented in .env.example + the README table).
- New prompts in lib/prompts.ts and zod schemas in lib/schemas.ts with the
same single repair retry; TEXT_MODEL for content, VISION_MODEL only for
photos. New shared client pieces: useNotesIntake, lib/homework store,
lib/clipboard, and a shared NDJSON reader in lib/client-api.
Also finishing the mobile polish pass from the previous request
- Phone ice scene: the top-left orb moved behind the glass header (it sat
behind the page heading/subtitle). The settings sheet's scroll cue is now a
bare chevron inside a content fade (mask) instead of a chip over the status
banner, and the API key card's note/disclosure/actions are tightened.
- theme-color now follows the in-app theme (SSR metas still fall back to the
OS preference); apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style stays “default”
because iOS fixes the status-bar text colour at launch.
Verified: 78/78 homework checks (text/photo/PDF, both modes, EN+CS, dark+light,
360/390px, copy, history persistence, storage privacy, API language, axe), plus
the existing suites re-run (mobile 47/47, pixel contrast 0 below AA, i18n 27/27,
desktop regression 72/72). Lint + build clean; service worker freezmo-v6.
Next.js 15 app that turns photos, PDFs, DOCX/PPTX and text into a swipeable
feed of AI-generated activities (flashcards, multiple choice, true/false,
fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering, short answer) using the user's own
Ollama models.
Highlights:
- All AI calls run in server route handlers; the browser never talks to Ollama.
- Bring-your-own-key mode (default): the key lives only in the browser and is
sent per-request; server, local-daemon and shared-key modes also supported.
- Client-side document extraction (pdf.js, mammoth, jszip) with scanned-PDF
page rendering for the vision model; notes stay in their original language.
- ChatGPT-style shell: collapsible sidebar / mobile drawer, neutral token-based
light + dark themes, folder organisation, PWA (manifest, SW, offline page).
- Strict JSON validation with zod + auto-repair, rate limiting, and request
guards (cross-origin, body-size, API-key sanitising).
- setup.sh bootstraps deps, .env.local and a production build.
Gitignore excludes .env*, the generated pdf.js worker and local scratch files.
