New users get a Gravatar-backed avatar automatically (computed from email
at signup); users can upload a custom photo instead via Settings, or
revert to the Gravatar/initials fallback. avatarUrl stays the single
resolved value (custom photo, OAuth photo, or precomputed Gravatar URL)
so every existing avatar-rendering spot across the app needs zero changes.
- users.hasCustomAvatar tracks whether avatarUrl is a real upload vs a
computed Gravatar fallback, so "remove photo" knows what to revert to.
- New /api/v1/upload/avatar-presign route (session-scoped, generic —
the existing recipe-photo presign route required a recipeId).
- CSP img-src needed www.gravatar.com added, or every browser blocks
the fallback avatar outright.
- Settings page now reads avatarUrl from a fresh DB query instead of
Better Auth's session object — the session cookie cache (5 min TTL)
was serving a stale image right after upload, showing the initials
fallback until the cache happened to expire.
Verified locally: signup auto-sets a Gravatar URL, upload persists
across reload, remove correctly reverts to Gravatar/initials.
- Private accounts: users.isPrivate hides a user from search and their
recipes from search/trending/for-you discovery surfaces (follow-aware
where the route already has session context, blanket exclusion where it
doesn't); existing followers and direct links are unaffected, no
follow-request approval flow was built (explicit scope limit)
- Merged /people into the Explore tab (tab=people query param); the old
standalone route now redirects there
- "Get Ideas" vs "Surprise Me" were doing the same empty-prompt call;
Surprise Me now injects a real random constraint (5-ingredient, one-pot,
etc.), matching the existing pattern in the AI recipe-generate dialog
- Meal-plan day cells now link to their recipe (was dead text) and gained
a one-click "mark as cooked" action
- Theme toggle is now a real three-way light/dark/system control instead
of a binary flip
- Nutrition goals form had zero i18n wiring; fully localized now
New migration 0027 (users.is_private) generated, left unapplied like the
others. Verified with typecheck, lint, and a clean --no-cache docker build.

- Settings sidebar was a fixed-width vertical list with no responsive
breakpoint, squeezing the form into a sliver on mobile. Turn it into
a horizontal scrollable tab bar under md, vertical sidebar above.
- setLocale() fired the PATCH and swallowed the result with
.catch(() => {}) — never checked res.ok, no success/failure feedback.
A failed save (expired session, network blip) looked identical to a
successful one. Now returns a boolean, reverts local state on
failure, and the settings form toasts success/failure.
