-# ThrillWiki Codebase Quality Review
-
-**Date:** January 2026
-**Scope:** Full-stack analysis (Django backend, frontend, infrastructure, tests)
-
---
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-This codebase is a **well-architected Django 5.2 application** with HTMX/Alpine.js frontend, PostgreSQL/PostGIS database, Redis caching, and Celery task queue. The project demonstrates strong engineering fundamentals but has accumulated technical debt in several areas that, if addressed, would significantly improve maintainability, performance, and security.
-
-### Overall Assessment
-
-| Area | Score | Notes |
-|------|-------|-------|
-| Architecture | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Well-organized modular Django apps |
-| Code Quality | ⭐⭐⭐ | Good patterns but inconsistencies exist |
-| Security | ⭐⭐⭐ | Solid foundation with some XSS risks |
-| Performance | ⭐⭐⭐ | Good caching but N+1 queries present |
-| Testing | ⭐⭐⭐ | 70% coverage with gaps |
-| Frontend | ⭐⭐⭐ | Clean JS but no tooling/types |
-| Infrastructure | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Comprehensive CI/CD and deployment |
-
---
-
-## 🔴 Critical Issues (Fix Immediately)
-
-### 1. XSS Vulnerabilities in Admin Panel
-
-**Location:** `backend/apps/moderation/admin.py`
-
-```python
-# Line 228 - changes_preview() method
-return mark_safe("".join(html))  # User data not escaped!
-
-# Line 740 - context_preview() method
-return mark_safe("".join(html))  # Context data not escaped!
-```
-
-**Risk:** Attackers could inject malicious JavaScript through edit submissions.
-
-**Fix:**
-```python
-from django.utils.html import escape
-
-# In changes_preview():
-html.append(f"<td>{escape(str(old))}</td><td>{escape(str(new))}</td>")
-```
-
-### 2. Debug Print Statements in Production Code
-
-**Location:** `backend/apps/parks/models/parks.py:375-426`
-
-```python
-print(f"\nLooking up slug: {slug}")  # DEBUG CODE IN PRODUCTION
-print(f"Found current park with slug: {slug}")
-print(f"Checking historical slugs...")
-```
-
-**Fix:** Remove or convert to `logging.debug()`.
-
-### 3. Mass Assignment Vulnerability in Serializers
-
-**Location:** `backend/apps/api/v1/accounts/serializers.py`
-
-```python
-class UserProfileUpdateInputSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
-    class Meta:
-        model = UserProfile
-        fields = "__all__"  # DANGEROUS - exposes all fields for update
-```
-
-**Fix:** Explicitly list allowed fields:
-```python
-fields = ["display_name", "bio", "location", "website", "social_links"]
-```
-
-### 4. N+1 Query in Trip Planning Views
-
-**Location:** `backend/apps/parks/views.py:577-583, 635-639, 686-690`
-
-```python
-# Current (N+1 problem - one query per park):
-for tid in _get_session_trip(request):
-    try:
-        parks.append(Park.objects.get(id=tid))
-    except Park.DoesNotExist:
-        continue
-
-# Fix (single query):
-park_ids = _get_session_trip(request)
-parks = list(Park.objects.filter(id__in=park_ids))
-```
-
---
-
-## 🟠 High Priority Issues
-
-### 5. Fat Models with Business Logic
-
-The following models have 200+ lines of business logic that should be extracted to services:
-
-| Model | Location | Lines | Issue |
-|-------|----------|-------|-------|
-| `Park` | `parks/models/parks.py` | 220-428 | FSM transitions, slug resolution, computed fields |
-| `EditSubmission` | `moderation/models.py` | 76-371 | Full approval workflow |
-| `PhotoSubmission` | `moderation/models.py` | 668-903 | Photo approval workflow |
-
-**Recommendation:** Create service classes:
-```
-apps/parks/services/
-├── park_service.py          # FSM transitions, computed fields
-├── slug_service.py          # Historical slug resolution
-└── ...
-
-apps/moderation/services/
-├── submission_service.py    # EditSubmission workflow
-├── photo_service.py         # PhotoSubmission workflow
-└── ...
-```
-
-### 6. Missing Database Indexes
-
-**Critical indexes to add:**
-
-```python
-# ParkPhoto - No index on frequently-filtered FK
-class ParkPhoto(models.Model):
-    park = models.ForeignKey(Park, on_delete=models.CASCADE, db_index=True)  # ADD db_index
-
-# UserNotification - Missing composite index
-class Meta:
-    indexes = [
-        models.Index(fields=["user", "created_at"]),  # ADD for sorting
-    ]
-
-# RideCredit - Missing index for ordering
-class Meta:
-    indexes = [
-        models.Index(fields=["user", "display_order"]),  # ADD
-    ]
-
-# Company - Missing status filter index
-class Meta:
-    indexes = [
-        models.Index(fields=["status", "founded_year"]),  # ADD
-    ]
-```
-
-### 7. Inconsistent API Response Formats
-
-**Current state (3+ different formats):**
-
-```python
-# Format 1: rides endpoint
-{"rides": [...], "total_count": X, "strategy": "...", "has_more": bool}
-
-# Format 2: parks endpoint
-{"parks": [...], "total_count": X, "strategy": "..."}
-
-# Format 3: DRF paginator
-{"results": [...], "count": X, "next": "...", "previous": "..."}
-
-# Format 4: Success responses
-{"success": True, "data": {...}}  # vs
-{"detail": "Success message"}     # vs
-{"message": "Success"}
-```
-
-**Recommendation:** Create a standard response wrapper:
-
-```python
-# apps/core/api/responses.py
-class StandardResponse:
-    @staticmethod
-    def success(data=None, message=None, meta=None):
-        return {
-            "success": True,
-            "data": data,
-            "message": message,
-            "meta": meta  # pagination, counts, etc.
-        }
-
-    @staticmethod
-    def error(message, code=None, details=None):
-        return {
-            "success": False,
-            "error": {
-                "message": message,
-                "code": code,
-                "details": details
-            }
-        }
-```
-
-### 8. Overly Broad Exception Handling
-
-**Pattern found 15+ times:**
-
-```python
-# BAD - masks actual errors
-try:
-    queryset = self.apply_filters(queryset)
-except Exception as e:
-    log_exception(e)
-    return Park.objects.none()  # Silent failure!
-```
-
-**Fix:** Catch specific exceptions:
-
-```python
-from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
-from django.db import DatabaseError
-
-try:
-    queryset = self.apply_filters(queryset)
-except ValidationError as e:
-    messages.warning(request, f"Invalid filter: {e}")
-    return base_queryset
-except DatabaseError as e:
-    logger.error("Database error in filter", exc_info=True)
-    raise  # Let it bubble up or return error response
-```
-
-### 9. Duplicated Permission Checks
-
-**Found in 6+ locations:**
-
-```python
-# Repeated pattern in views:
-if not (request.user == instance.uploaded_by or request.user.is_staff):
-    raise PermissionDenied()
-```
-
-**Fix:** Create reusable permission class:
-
-```python
-# apps/core/permissions.py
-class IsOwnerOrStaff(permissions.BasePermission):
-    def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
-        if request.method in permissions.SAFE_METHODS:
-            return True
-        owner_field = getattr(view, 'owner_field', 'user')
-        owner = getattr(obj, owner_field, None)
-        return owner == request.user or request.user.is_staff
-```
-
---
-
-## 🟡 Medium Priority Issues
-
-### 10. Frontend Has No Build Tooling
-
-**Current state:**
- No `package.json` or npm dependencies
- No TypeScript (vanilla JS only)
- No ESLint/Prettier configuration
- No minification/bundling pipeline
- No source maps for debugging
-
-**Impact:**
- No type safety in 8,000+ lines of JavaScript
- Manual debugging without source maps
- No automated code quality checks
-
-**Recommendation:** Add minimal tooling:
-
-```json
-// package.json
-{
-  "scripts": {
-    "lint": "eslint backend/static/js/",
-    "format": "prettier --write 'backend/static/js/**/*.js'",
-    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
-  },
-  "devDependencies": {
-    "eslint": "^8.0.0",
-    "prettier": "^3.0.0",
-    "typescript": "^5.0.0"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 11. Test Coverage Gaps
-
-**Disabled tests (technical debt):**
- `tests_disabled/test_models.py` - Park model tests
- `tests_disabled/test_filters.py` - Filter tests
- `tests_disabled/test_search.py` - Search/autocomplete tests
-
-**Missing test coverage:**
- Celery async tasks (not tested)
- Cache hit/miss behavior
- Concurrent operations/race conditions
- Performance benchmarks
- Component-level accessibility
-
-**Recommendation:**
-1. Re-enable disabled tests with updated model references
-2. Add Celery task tests with `CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER = True`
-3. Implement Page Object Model for E2E tests
-
-### 12. Celery Configuration Issues
-
-**Location:** `backend/config/celery.py`
-
-```python
-# Issue 1: No retry policy visible
-# Tasks that fail don't have automatic retry with backoff
-
-# Issue 2: Beat schedule lacks jitter
-# All daily tasks run at midnight - thundering herd problem
-CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
-    "daily-ban-expiry": {"schedule": crontab(hour=0, minute=0)},
-    "daily-deletion-processing": {"schedule": crontab(hour=0, minute=0)},
-    "daily-closing-checks": {"schedule": crontab(hour=0, minute=0)},
-    # All at midnight!
-}
-```
-
-**Fix:**
-
-```python
-# Add retry policy to tasks
-@app.task(bind=True, max_retries=3, default_retry_delay=60)
-def process_submission(self, submission_id):
-    try:
-        # ... task logic
-    except TransientError as e:
-        raise self.retry(exc=e, countdown=60 * (2 ** self.request.retries))
-
-# Stagger beat schedule
-CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
-    "daily-ban-expiry": {"schedule": crontab(hour=0, minute=0)},
-    "daily-deletion-processing": {"schedule": crontab(hour=0, minute=15)},
-    "daily-closing-checks": {"schedule": crontab(hour=0, minute=30)},
-}
-```
-
-### 13. Rate Limiting Only on Auth Endpoints
-
-**Location:** `backend/apps/core/middleware/rate_limiting.py`
-
-```python
-RATE_LIMITED_PATHS = {
-    "/api/v1/auth/login/": {...},
-    "/api/v1/auth/signup/": {...},
-    # Missing: file uploads, form submissions, search endpoints
-}
-```
-
-**Recommendation:** Extend rate limiting:
-
-```python
-RATE_LIMITED_PATHS = {
-    # Auth
-    "/api/v1/auth/login/": {"per_minute": 5, "per_hour": 30},
-    "/api/v1/auth/signup/": {"per_minute": 3, "per_hour": 10},
-    "/api/v1/auth/password-reset/": {"per_minute": 3, "per_hour": 10},
-
-    # File uploads
-    "/api/v1/photos/upload/": {"per_minute": 10, "per_hour": 100},
-
-    # Search (prevent abuse)
-    "/api/v1/search/": {"per_minute": 30, "per_hour": 500},
-
-    # Submissions
-    "/api/v1/submissions/": {"per_minute": 5, "per_hour": 50},
-}
-```
-
-### 14. Inconsistent Status Field Implementations
-
-**Three different patterns used:**
-
-```python
-# Pattern 1: RichFSMField (Park)
-status = RichFSMField(default=ParkStatus.OPERATING, ...)
-
-# Pattern 2: CharField with choices (Company)
-status = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, ...)
-
-# Pattern 3: RichChoiceField (User role)
-role = RichChoiceField(choices=UserRole.choices, ...)
-```
-
-**Recommendation:** Standardize on one approach (RichFSMField for state machines, RichChoiceField for enums).
-
-### 15. Magic Numbers Throughout Code
-
-**Examples found:**
-
-```python
-# auth/views.py
-get_random_string(64)  # Why 64?
-timeout=300  # Why 300 seconds?
-MAX_AVATAR_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024  # Inline constant
-
-# Various files
-page_size = 20  # vs 24 in other places
-```
-
-**Fix:** Create constants module:
-
-```python
-# apps/core/constants.py
-class Security:
-    MFA_TOKEN_LENGTH = 64
-    MFA_TOKEN_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 300
-    MAX_AVATAR_SIZE_BYTES = 10 * 1024 * 1024
-
-class Pagination:
-    DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE = 20
-    MAX_PAGE_SIZE = 100
-```
-
---
-
-## 🟢 Low Priority / Nice-to-Have
-
-### 16. Deprecated Code Not Removed
-
-**Location:** `backend/static/js/moderation/history.js`
- File marked as DEPRECATED but still present
- Should be removed or migrated
-
-### 17. Unused Imports
-
-Multiple files have duplicate or unused imports:
- `backend/apps/api/v1/rides/views.py` - `Q` imported twice
-
-### 18. Missing Docstrings on Complex Methods
-
-Many service methods and complex views lack docstrings explaining:
- Expected inputs/outputs
- Business rules applied
- Side effects
-
-### 19. Template `|safe` Filter Usage
-
-**Files using `|safe` that should use `|sanitize`:**
- `templates/components/ui/icon.html:61`
- `templates/components/navigation/breadcrumbs.html:116`
-
---
-
-## Architecture Recommendations
-
-### 1. Adopt Service Layer Pattern Consistently
-
-```
-apps/
-├── parks/
-│   ├── models/           # Data models only
-│   ├── services/         # Business logic
-│   │   ├── park_service.py
-│   │   ├── slug_service.py
-│   │   └── media_service.py
-│   ├── selectors/        # Read queries (already exists)
-│   └── api/              # Serializers, viewsets
-```
-
-### 2. Create Shared Response/Error Handling
-
-```python
-# apps/core/api/
-├── responses.py          # StandardResponse class
-├── exceptions.py         # Custom exceptions with codes
-├── error_handlers.py     # DRF exception handler
-└── mixins.py            # Reusable view mixins
-```
-
-### 3. Implement Repository Pattern for Complex Queries
-
-```python
-# apps/parks/repositories/park_repository.py
-class ParkRepository:
-    @staticmethod
-    def get_by_slug_with_history(slug: str) -> Park | None:
-        """Resolve slug including historical slugs."""
-        # Move 60+ lines from Park.get_by_slug() here
-```
-
-### 4. Add Event-Driven Architecture for Cross-App Communication
-
-```python
-# Instead of direct imports between apps:
-from apps.parks.models import Park  # Tight coupling
-
-# Use signals/events:
-# apps/core/events.py
-park_status_changed = Signal()
-
-# apps/parks/services/park_service.py
-park_status_changed.send(sender=Park, park=park, old_status=old, new_status=new)
-
-# apps/notifications/handlers.py
-@receiver(park_status_changed)
-def notify_followers(sender, park, **kwargs):
-    ...
-```
-
---
-
-## Performance Optimization Opportunities
-
-### 1. Database Query Optimization
-
-| Issue | Location | Impact |
-|-------|----------|--------|
-| N+1 in trip views | `parks/views.py:577` | High - loops with `.get()` |
-| Missing indexes | Multiple models | Medium - slow filters |
-| No query count monitoring | Production | Unknown query count |
-
-### 2. Caching Strategy Improvements
-
-```python
-# Add cache key versioning
-CACHE_VERSION = "v1"
-
-def get_park_cache_key(park_id):
-    return f"park:{CACHE_VERSION}:{park_id}"
-
-# Add cache tags for invalidation
-from django.core.cache import cache
-
-def invalidate_park_caches(park_id):
-    cache.delete_pattern(f"park:*:{park_id}:*")
-```
-
-### 3. Frontend Performance
-
- Add `loading="lazy"` to images below the fold
- Implement virtual scrolling for long lists
- Add service worker for offline capability
-
---
-

---
-
-## Conclusion
-
-This codebase has a solid foundation with good architectural decisions (modular apps, service layer beginnings, comprehensive configuration). The main areas needing attention are:
-
-1. **Security:** XSS vulnerabilities and mass assignment risks
-2. **Performance:** N+1 queries and missing indexes
-3. **Maintainability:** Fat models and inconsistent patterns
-4. **Testing:** Re-enable disabled tests and expand coverage
-
-Addressing the critical and high-priority issues would significantly improve code quality and reduce technical debt. The codebase is well-positioned for scaling with relatively minor refactoring efforts.

+
+## Installation & Setup
+
+### Required Packages
+
+```bash
+# Add packages to pyproject.toml
+uv add "django-allauth[headless,mfa,socialaccount]"
+uv add fido2  # For WebAuthn support
+
+# Install all dependencies
+uv sync
+```
+
+### Running Django Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run migrations
+uv run manage.py migrate
+
+# Create superuser
+uv run manage.py createsuperuser
+
+# Run development server
+uv run manage.py runserver
+
+# Collect static files
+uv run manage.py collectstatic
+```
+
+### INSTALLED_APPS Configuration
+
+```python
+# config/django/base.py
+INSTALLED_APPS = [
+    # Django built-in
+    "django.contrib.auth",
+    "django.contrib.sites",
+    
+    # Allauth core (required)
+    "allauth",
+    "allauth.account",
+    
+    # Optional modules
+    "allauth.headless",              # For headless/API mode
+    "allauth.mfa",                   # MFA support (TOTP, recovery codes)
+    "allauth.mfa.webauthn",          # WebAuthn/Passkey support
+    "allauth.socialaccount",         # Social auth base
+    "allauth.socialaccount.providers.google",
+    "allauth.socialaccount.providers.discord",
+]
+```
+
+### Middleware
+
+```python
+MIDDLEWARE = [
+    # ... other middleware
+    "allauth.account.middleware.AccountMiddleware",
+]
+```
+
+### URL Configuration
+
+```python
+# urls.py
+urlpatterns = [
+    # Allauth browser views (needed for OAuth callbacks)
+    path("accounts/", include("allauth.urls")),
+    
+    # Allauth headless API endpoints
+    path("_allauth/", include("allauth.headless.urls")),
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## JWT Token Authentication
+
+### Configuration
+
+```python
+# settings.py
+
+# Token strategy - use JWT
+HEADLESS_TOKEN_STRATEGY = "allauth.headless.tokens.JWTTokenStrategy"
+
+# Generate private key: openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048
+HEADLESS_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY = """

+
+# Stateful validation (invalidates tokens on logout)
+HEADLESS_JWT_STATEFUL_VALIDATION_ENABLED = True
+
+# Rotate refresh tokens on use
+HEADLESS_JWT_ROTATE_REFRESH_TOKEN = True
+```
+
+### DRF Integration
+
+```python
+from allauth.headless.contrib.rest_framework.authentication import JWTTokenAuthentication
+from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
+from rest_framework.views import APIView
+
+class ProtectedAPIView(APIView):
+    authentication_classes = [JWTTokenAuthentication]
+    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
+    
+    def get(self, request):
+        return Response({"user": request.user.email})
+```
+
+### JWT Flow
+
+1. User authenticates (password/social/passkey)
+2. During auth, pass `X-Session-Token` header to allauth API
+3. Upon successful authentication, response `meta` contains:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "meta": {
+       "access_token": "eyJ...",
+       "refresh_token": "abc123..."
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+4. Use `Authorization: Bearer <access_token>` for subsequent requests
+5. Refresh tokens via `POST /_allauth/browser/v1/auth/token/refresh`
+
+---
+
+## Password Authentication
+
+### Configuration
+
+```python
+# config/settings/third_party.py
+
+# Signup fields (* = required)
+ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FIELDS = ["email*", "username*", "password1*", "password2*"]
+
+# Login methods
+ACCOUNT_LOGIN_METHODS = {"email", "username"}  # Allow both
+
+# Email verification
+ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = "mandatory"  # Options: "mandatory", "optional", "none"
+ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_SUPPORTS_CHANGE = True
+ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_SUPPORTS_RESEND = True
+
+# Security
+ACCOUNT_REAUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED = True  # Require re-auth for sensitive operations
+ACCOUNT_EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS = True
+ACCOUNT_EMAIL_UNKNOWN_ACCOUNTS = False  # Don't reveal if email exists
+
+# Redirects
+LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/"
+ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = "/"
+
+# Custom adapters
+ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = "apps.accounts.adapters.CustomAccountAdapter"
+```
+
+### Headless API Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Description |
+|----------|--------|-------------|
+| `/_allauth/browser/v1/auth/login` | POST | Login with email/username + password |
+| `/_allauth/browser/v1/auth/signup` | POST | Register new account |
+| `/_allauth/browser/v1/auth/logout` | POST | Logout (invalidate tokens) |
+| `/_allauth/browser/v1/auth/password/reset` | POST | Request password reset |
+| `/_allauth/browser/v1/auth/password/reset/key` | POST | Complete password reset |
+| `/_allauth/browser/v1/auth/password/change` | POST | Change password (authenticated) |
+
+### Magic Link (Login by Code)
+
+```python
+# Enable magic link authentication
+ACCOUNT_LOGIN_BY_CODE_ENABLED = True
+ACCOUNT_LOGIN_BY_CODE_MAX_ATTEMPTS = 3
+ACCOUNT_LOGIN_BY_CODE_TIMEOUT = 300  # 5 minutes
+```
+
+---
+
+## MFA: TOTP (Authenticator App)
+
+### Configuration
+
+```python
+# config/settings/third_party.py
+
+# Enable TOTP in supported types
+MFA_SUPPORTED_TYPES = ["totp", "webauthn"]
+
+# TOTP settings
+MFA_TOTP_ISSUER = "ThrillWiki"  # Shows in authenticator app
+MFA_TOTP_DIGITS = 6             # Code length
+MFA_TOTP_PERIOD = 30            # Seconds per code
+```
+
+### TOTP API Flow
+
+1. **Get TOTP Secret** (for QR code):
+   ```
+   GET /_allauth/browser/v1/account/authenticators/totp
+   ```
+   Response contains `totp_url` for QR code generation.
+
+2. **Activate TOTP**:
+   ```
+   POST /_allauth/browser/v1/account/authenticators/totp
+   {
+     "code": "123456"
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Deactivate TOTP**:
+   ```
+   DELETE /_allauth/browser/v1/account/authenticators/totp
+   ```
+
+4. **MFA Login Flow**:
+   - After password auth, if MFA enabled, receive `401` with `mfa_required`
+   - Submit TOTP code:
+     ```
+     POST /_allauth/browser/v1/auth/2fa/authenticate
+     {
+       "code": "123456"
+     }
+     ```
+
+---
+
+## MFA: WebAuthn/Passkeys
+
+### Configuration
+
+```python
+# config/settings/third_party.py
+
+# Include webauthn in supported types
+MFA_SUPPORTED_TYPES = ["totp", "webauthn"]
+
+# Enable passkey-only login
+MFA_PASSKEY_LOGIN_ENABLED = True
+
+# Allow insecure origin for localhost development
+MFA_WEBAUTHN_ALLOW_INSECURE_ORIGIN = True  # Only for DEBUG=True
+```
+
+### Internal WebAuthn API Functions
+
+The `allauth.mfa.webauthn.internal.auth` module provides these functions:
+
+```python
+from allauth.mfa.webauthn.internal import auth as webauthn_auth

+
+## API Patterns & DRF Integration
+
+### Authentication Classes
+
+```python
+from allauth.headless.contrib.rest_framework.authentication import (
+    JWTTokenAuthentication,
+    SessionTokenAuthentication,
+)
+
+# For JWT-based authentication
+REST_FRAMEWORK = {
+    "DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES": [
+        "allauth.headless.contrib.rest_framework.authentication.JWTTokenAuthentication",
+    ],
+}
+```
+
+### Headless Frontend URLs
+
+```python
+# Required for email verification, password reset links
+HEADLESS_FRONTEND_URLS = {
+    "account_confirm_email": "https://thrillwiki.com/account/verify-email/{key}",
+    "account_reset_password_from_key": "https://thrillwiki.com/account/password/reset/{key}",
+    "account_signup": "https://thrillwiki.com/signup",
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Adapters
+
+```python
+# apps/accounts/adapters.py
+from allauth.account.adapter import DefaultAccountAdapter
+from allauth.socialaccount.adapter import DefaultSocialAccountAdapter
+
+class CustomAccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):
+    def save_user(self, request, user, form, commit=True):
+        """Customize user creation."""
+        user = super().save_user(request, user, form, commit=False)
+        # Custom logic here
+        if commit:
+            user.save()
+        return user
+    
+    def is_open_for_signup(self, request):
+        """Control signup availability."""
+        return True
+
+class CustomSocialAccountAdapter(DefaultSocialAccountAdapter):
+    def pre_social_login(self, request, sociallogin):
+        """Hook before social login completes."""
+        # Link social account to existing user by email
+        if sociallogin.is_existing:
+            return
+        
+        email = sociallogin.account.extra_data.get("email")
+        if email:
+            User = get_user_model()
+            try:
+                user = User.objects.get(email=email)
+                sociallogin.connect(request, user)
+            except User.DoesNotExist:
+                pass
+```
+
+---
+
+## Internal API Reference
+
+### Authenticator Model
+
+```python
+from allauth.mfa.models import Authenticator
+
+# Types
+Authenticator.Type.TOTP      # TOTP authenticator
+Authenticator.Type.WEBAUTHN  # WebAuthn/Passkey
+Authenticator.Type.RECOVERY_CODES  # Recovery codes
+
+# Query user's authenticators
+passkeys = Authenticator.objects.filter(
+    user=user,
+    type=Authenticator.Type.WEBAUTHN
+)
+
+# Check if MFA is enabled
+from allauth.mfa.adapter import get_adapter
+is_mfa_enabled = get_adapter().is_mfa_enabled(user)
+```
+
+### Session Token Header
+
+For headless mode during authentication flow:
+```
+X-Session-Token: <session-token>
+```
+
+After authentication completes with JWT enabled:
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <access-token>
+```
+

+
+## Current ThrillWiki Implementation Summary
+
+ThrillWiki already has these allauth features configured:
+
+| Feature | Status | Notes |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Password Auth | ✅ Configured | Email + username login |
+| Email Verification | ✅ Mandatory | With resend support |
+| TOTP MFA | ✅ Configured | 6-digit codes, 30s period |
+| WebAuthn/Passkeys | ✅ Configured | Passkey login enabled |
+| Google OAuth | ✅ Configured | Needs admin SocialApp |
+| Discord OAuth | ✅ Configured | Needs admin SocialApp |
+| Magic Link | ✅ Configured | 5-minute timeout |
+| JWT Tokens | ❌ Not configured | Using SimpleJWT instead |
+
+### Recommendation
+
+To use allauth's native JWT support instead of SimpleJWT:
+
+1. Add `"allauth.headless"` to INSTALLED_APPS
+2. Configure `HEADLESS_TOKEN_STRATEGY` and JWT settings
+3. Replace `rest_framework_simplejwt` authentication with `JWTTokenAuthentication`
+4. Add `/_allauth/` URL routes
