v0.4.0Feature Release

May 22, 2026

GP4-REV-3

Super-Admin Operations & Feedback Dispatch Queue

Hardened platform telemetry security rules and created centralized logging interfaces for real-time monitoring and automated feedback loops.

In-App Feedback Dispatch: Created /feedback portal to capture user feature requests and bug reports, sync directly to Firestore feedback queue, and form work streams for the active automated operations system.

Super-Admin Console: Engineered a high-end, responsive system logs analyzer route (/admin/logs) securely gated by a strict server-side email match verification restricted exclusively to loseyp@gmail.com.

Central Firestore Logger: Deployed a centralized logger logging all QR tag scans, payment hooks, and server actions structured with custom attributes (IP, browser agent, level, status).

Hardened Rules: Deployed robust firestore.rules and storage.rules preventing unauthorized reads of private logs while allowing public anonymous feedback and QR claim submissions.

v0.3.0Infrastructure Update

May 22, 2026

GP4-REV-2

Next-Gen Serverless Stripe Billing Pipeline

Engineered a highly flexible and type-safe serverless payment architecture converting functions from the companion iRacersResource codebase.

Stripe Serverless Conversion: Migrated and refactored express onboarding and split-payout billing systems into modern Next.js 16 Route Handlers in /api/billing/*.

Split-Payment Checkout: Deployed /checkout endpoint matching split-fee routing for tracks, ensuring that when day-passes are purchased, the platform fee is collected, and remaining payouts route directly to track owners.

Connected Express Onboarding: Deployed /connect endpoint enabling tracks, parks, and event hosts to instantly link Stripe Express accounts to automatically receive payout distributions.

Verified Signature Webhooks: Built security-hardened webhook validation routing to automatically trigger premium vehicle unlocks and track event check-in entries in Firestore upon successful payment completion.

v0.2.0Core Feature

May 22, 2026

GP4-REV-1

Unified QR Resolving & Inline Claim Experience

Designed a highly polished, mobile-first unified router to capture physical QR tag scans in the wild with geolocation insights.

Unified Tag Resolver: Engineered the /join landing route, automatically fetching scanner geocoordinates (latitude/longitude), logging location metrics to database, and presenting high-converting registration forms.

Claim Tag Interface: Created ClaimTagForm allowing logged-in community members to claim new tags or register vehicles instantly during the resolve flow with zero friction.

Legacy Forwarding: Deployed a dynamic route wrapper at /qr/[id] to intercept and forward older printed tags in the wild to the optimized /join pipeline, preserving 1,000+ tags active in the field.

Diagnostic Tracking: Built background syncs recording device profiles and proximity details during scans to optimize local track telemetry.

v0.1.0Platform Overhaul

May 21, 2026

GP4-REV-0

Next.js 16 & HSL Dark Glassmorphic Bootstrap

Overhauled the legacy base structure from the ground up to establish a state-of-the-art framework layer.

Next.js 16 Workspace: Clean migration to Next.js 16 App Router, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS v4 in gridpass-v4 root folder.

Dark Glassmorphic UI: Created globals.css containing curated HSL colors, smooth transitions, glassmorphic cards, custom typography, and dynamic ambient background glows.

Firebase Singletons: Set up centralized Auth, Firestore, and Storage client singletons and secure Admin SDK server loaders.

Auth Cookies Integration: Integrated AuthProvider wrapping with nookies to sync user JWT tokens securely, ensuring seamless server-side middleware and authentication gate validations.
