USDA FoodData Central is a nutrient composition database, not a price
analysis tool. Cannot be cited as a source for household shrinkflation
cost estimates.
Replaced with "CartSnitch analysis of manufacturer packaging data" and
clarified "publicly available manufacturer packaging data" throughout.
Added trailing newline to end of file.
Fixes CTO review feedback on PR #39.

Kubernetes runAsNonRoot validation requires the USER directive to be
explicitly set in the image metadata. nginx-unprivileged runs as UID 101
internally, but without the explicit USER directive Kubernetes cannot
verify this from the image config and fails with CreateContainerConfigError.
Fixes CAR-231.

Adds top-of-funnel explainer article targeting "what is unit price",
"how to calculate unit price", and "unit price vs shelf price" keywords.
Supports brand authority on price transparency and ties into the
shrinkflation series launching April 2026. Closes CAR-218.

Non-root users cannot bind to ports < 1024. Port 8080 is used by
nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged by default.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Switch from nginx:stable-alpine to nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged:stable-alpine.
The unprivileged image runs as nginx user (UID 101) on port 8080, satisfying
the runAsNonRoot: true security context in Kubernetes.

Must-fix:
- Exclude JWT token from Zustand persist (partialize) to prevent
localStorage XSS exfiltration — token now lives in memory only
- Wire all pages through TanStack Query hooks (usePurchases, useProduct,
useProducts, usePriceHistory, useCoupons, usePriceAlerts) with proper
loading skeletons and error states
- Add mock interceptor in api.ts (VITE_MOCK_API=true) so mock data flows
through the same fetch path — single flag to switch to live API
Should-fix:
- Wire theme toggle to DOM (dark class on <html>)
- Fix AccountLinking form inputs (controlled with value/onChange)
- Remove unused err in catch blocks (Login, Register)
- Bump remaining min-h-10 touch targets to min-h-12 (48px)
Build: 128KB initial JS, Recharts 498KB lazy chunk. 5/5 tests pass.
