The automated API test passes against a local PostgreSQL, and I checked the main flow with curl, including that a todo was still there after a server restart. I stopped the server and the Postgres container afterwards.\n\n**Stack:** Node.js with Express, PostgreSQL through `pg`, and bcrypt for password hashing. The frontend is a single plain HTML/JS page at `public/index.html`, served at `GET /`, where users can sign up, log in, log out, and add, rename, complete/uncomplete and delete todos.\n\n- **Data:** the tables (users, sessions, todos) are created automatically when the server starts, so there is no separate migration step.\n- **Login tokens:** tokens are random strings, and only a hash of each is stored in the database. They're accepted as `Authorization: Bearer ` or from an HttpOnly cookie. The password hash is never returned by any endpoint.\n- **API:** every endpoint and status code from `TASK.md` is implemented. Every todo query checks the owner, so another user's todo gives `404`.\n- **Endpoints not in `TASK.md`:** `POST /api/auth/logout`, `GET /api/me` (used by the page to show who's signed in) and `GET /healthz` (for Render's health check).\n- **Test:** `test/api.test.js` covers signup and login errors, adding, listing in oldest-first order, editing and deleting todos, checking that one user can't reach another's todos, the bcrypt hash format, and logout.\n\n**Run locally:**\n```\ndocker run -d --name pg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pg -p 5432:5432 postgres:16\nnpm ci\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:pg@localhost:5432/postgres npm start # http://localhost:3000 (or $PORT)\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:pg@localhost:5432/postgres npm test\n```\n\n**For Render (step 2):** `render.yaml` sets up two things: a Node web service (build with `npm ci`, start with `npm start`, health check at `/healthz`) and a managed Postgres database. Render passes the database's connection string to the app as `DATABASE_URL`. Both are on the free plan. If the app ever connects to an external Postgres that requires TLS, set `PGSSLMODE=require`; addresses ending in `.render.com` turn TLS on automatically.", "deploy": "The app is live at **https://adb-9mnhm-crud-web.onrender.com** and costs $0 a month.\n\n**What's running on Render:**\n- **Web service** `adb-9mnhm-crud-web` (`srv-db7ebb7avr4c73ftvb1g`), free plan.\n- **PostgreSQL 16** `adb-9mnhm-crud-db` (`dpg-db7eavivcj2c73db3fs0-a`), free plan. The service connects over Render's internal network. The connection strings are saved only in `.env`.\n\n**How the code gets there:** there were no GitHub credentials, so Render couldn't build from a repo. Instead the service runs the official `node:22-alpine` image (pulled from Docker Hub), and the app is uploaded to Render as a secret file. A start script, also a secret file, unpacks it, runs `npm ci` and starts the server.\n\n**Tested through the public URL:**\n- `GET /` returns the web page.\n- Signup returns 201, and 400 or 409 for the error cases. Login returns 200, and 401 for wrong credentials.\n- Listing todos (oldest first), creating, renaming, completing and uncompleting, and deleting all work, as do the 400, 401 and 404 errors.\n- A second user sees an empty list and gets 404 on the first user's todos.\n- Data survived a redeploy: the next todo got ID 3, after the two created before it.\n\n**What didn't work:** I tried to confirm directly in the database that passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes. Connecting from outside Render failed with \"connection terminated\", so I didn't check it on the deployed database. It is covered by the local test from step 1.\n\n**Limitations:**\n- **Free database expiry:** Render's free PostgreSQL expires 30 days after creation. To keep the data longer, upgrade it to a paid plan (about $6 a month). This is listed as a non-blocking human step.\n- **Idle spin-down:** the free web service sleeps when idle, so the first request after a quiet period takes about a minute.\n- **Updating the code:** to ship changes, rebuild the app archive, upload it again as the secret file and trigger a deploy. The steps are in `deployment.json`.\n\n**Optional human step:** for normal builds and auto-deploys, push this directory to a Git repo, connect it in the Render dashboard and deploy from it; the included `render.yaml` defines both services.
