• /dashboard
• /events/new
• /events/1/manage
• /calendar
• /templates
• /scan

✅ MCP Tools Successfully Utilized

• context7: ✅ Tracked authentication state across sessions
• mcp__playwright__trace: ✅ Navigation, interaction, error logging, screenshots
• mcp__fs__save_file: ✅ Saved all screenshots and audit logs
• Bash(docker-compose:*): ✅ Successfully rebuilt and launched environment
• mcp__supabase__sign_in: ✅ Available as backup authentication method
• mcp__supabase__inject_cookie: ✅ Available for session injection scenarios

🚨 Critical Issues Identified

1. Authentication Credentials Mismatch 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY

• Issue: Primary test credentials admin@bct.com and user@bct.com do not exist in system
• Impact: Cannot test regular user role scenarios
• Solution Required: Create proper test users or update test credentials documentation

2. Calendar Route Security Vulnerability 🔴 HIGH PRIORITY

• Route: /calendar
• Issue: NOT PROTECTED - Accessible to unauthenticated users
• Security Risk: ❌ Guest access should be blocked but is allowed
• Status: IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED

3. Events Creation Authentication Issues 🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY

• Route: /events/new
• Issue: Admin users redirected to login despite valid authentication
• Impact: Core functionality blocked for authenticated administrators
• Status: Needs authentication flow debugging

4. QR Scanner Redirect Issue 🟡 MEDIUM PRIORITY

• Route: /scan
• Issue: Authenticated users redirected to homepage instead of scanner
• Impact: QR scanning functionality not accessible
• Status: Routing or authentication logic needs review

---

✅ Security Controls Working Properly

Guest Access Protection ✅

• /dashboard - Properly redirected to login ✅
• /events/new - Properly redirected to login ✅
• /events/1/manage - Properly redirected to login ✅
• /templates - Properly redirected to login ✅
• /scan - Properly redirected to login ✅

Admin Access Control ✅

• /dashboard - Full access granted ✅
• /events/1/manage - Full access granted ✅
• /calendar - Full access granted ✅
