Remove CORS headers to enable universal image support and fix local API server settings.
## Changes
**Remove CORS Headers**
- Remove Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy headers
- Enables images from any domain (Facebook, Medium, arbitrary websites)
- Database falls back to IndexedDB mode (minimal performance impact)
**Fix Local Development Configuration**
- Set LOCAL_ENDORSER_API_SERVER to http://127.0.0.1:3000 (was "/api")
- Create .env.development with local API server config
- Fix ensureCorrectApiServer() method in HomeView.vue
- "Use Local" button now sets proper localhost address
**Fix Settings Cache Issues**
- Add PlatformServiceMixin to AccountViewView.vue
- Disable settings caching to prevent stale data
- Settings changes now apply immediately without browser refresh
## Impact
**Tradeoffs:**
- Lost: ~2x SharedArrayBuffer database performance
- Gained: Universal image support from any domain
- Result: Better user experience, database still fast via IndexedDB
**Files Modified:**
- Configuration: vite.config.*.mts, index.html, .env.development
- Source: constants/app.ts, libs/util.ts, views/*.vue, utils/PlatformServiceMixin.ts
## Rationale
For a community platform, universal image support is more critical than marginal
database performance gains. Users share images from arbitrary websites, making
CORS restrictions incompatible with Time Safari's core mission.
- Replace any type assertions with proper type definitions
- Add null safety with fallback values for undefined fields
- Improve error handling with type-safe string assignments
- Use JSON.stringify for non-string error objects
- Maintain runtime compatibility while improving type safety
Files changed:
- src/views/DIDView.vue: Fix claim type assertions and error handling
- src/views/ContactsView.vue: Fix registration payload and catch block typing
- Fix remaining type warnings by specifying Settings for cache and using this._setCached directly
- Add eslint-disable-next-line comments for unavoidable (this as any) usages required for Vue context access
- All @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any warnings are now suppressed or resolved
- Lint passes with zero warnings or errors
- No functional changes; improves code clarity and developer experience
- Replace all `any` types in IPlatformServiceMixin and ComponentCustomProperties with proper types:
- Use PlatformCapabilities for capabilities
- Use QueryExecResult, DatabaseExecResult, and generics for database methods
- Use Contact[] and Settings for contact and settings methods
- Improves IDE type inference and type safety for all consumers of the mixin
- No functional changes, interface/type declarations only
- Add proper return types for database methods: QueryExecResult, DatabaseExecResult, Contact[]
- Improve cache system typing with VueComponentWithMixin interface and CacheEntry<unknown>
- Fix $refreshContacts() return type from Promise<any[]> to Promise<Contact[]>
- Update database interfaces with DatabaseExecResult and generic DatabaseResult types
- Maintain runtime compatibility by keeping necessary (this as any) for Vue component context
- Reduces TypeScript warnings from 81 to 23 while preserving all functionality
- Improves type safety for database operations, caching, and contact management
- Replace WeakMap<any, Map<string, CacheEntry<any>>> with proper VueComponentWithMixin interface
- Add VueComponentWithMixin interface with _platformService, $options, activeDid, and platformService() method
- Use CacheEntry<unknown> instead of CacheEntry<any> for better type safety
- Replace (this as any) with (this as unknown as VueComponentWithMixin) for safer type assertions
- Reduces TypeScript warnings from 53 to 29 (24 warnings eliminated)
- Maintains all existing functionality while improving type safety
- Replace all `any` types in $db, $exec, $one, $query, $first, and $contacts with proper interfaces:
- Use QueryExecResult and DatabaseExecResult for raw database operations
- Use Contact[] for contact queries
- Add generics for mapped query results
- Update PlatformService and database interfaces to match new types
- Remove unused type imports and fix linter errors
- Reduces risk of runtime errors and improves type safety for all database access

- Prevent database logging during critical startup phase
- Use console logging for critical startup messages to avoid circular dependency
- Add manual initialization control functions (markInitializationComplete, isInitializationPhase)
- Filter initialization-related messages from database logging
Files modified:
- src/utils/logger.ts: Add initialization state tracking and filtering
- src/registerSQLWorker.js: Use console for critical startup message
- src/services/PlatformServiceFactory.ts: Use console for singleton creation message
- src/services/platforms/WebPlatformService.ts: Use console for worker context message
Resolves circular dependency where logging tried to access database during platform service initialization, causing infinite loops with [DB-PREVENTED-INFO] messages.
- Reduce migration/platform logging verbosity in development mode (~80-90% less noise)
- Fix AbsurdSQL platform check to support 'development' alongside 'web'
- Add missing WebPlatformService methods (isWorker, initSharedArrayBuffer)
- Fix Electron API endpoint resolution to prevent JSON parsing errors
- Prevent circular database logging that caused [DB-PREVENTED-INFO] spam
Console now shows only essential information while preserving all errors/warnings
fix: eliminate SharedArrayBuffer checks on non-web platforms
* Add platform guard in AbsurdSqlDatabaseService to only initialize on web
* Change singleton pattern from eager to lazy instantiation
* Update worker import to use lazy singleton pattern
* Prevents absurd-sql initialization on Electron/Capacitor platforms
* Reduces console noise and memory footprint on desktop/mobile
* Maintains full web platform functionality and performance
Resolves SharedArrayBuffer-related console output on Electron platform
while preserving all web features and maintaining clean architecture.
- Applied transformImageUrlForCors to all image-displaying components
- Added followRedirects: true to image proxy to serve actual content
