Add Next.js API proxy rewrite in next.config.mjs (/api/* → localhost:8000/api/*)
Create response adapter layer (snake_case → camelCase key transforms in interceptors)
Replace mockApi functions with real API calls — src/api/api.ts
Connect all pages to real API (login, feed, map, profile, playlists, search, notifications, review/new, venue detail, playlist detail)
Wire up UserReviewsView backend endpoint (/api/auth/users/<uuid>/reviews/)
Update all TypeScript types to match backend serializer shapes

Added hop-by-hop header filtering (transfer-encoding, connection, keep-alive, etc.)
Added res.headersSent guard in timeout handler to prevent crash

App & Context

_app.tsx: Added QueryClient default options (staleTime: 30s, refetchOnWindowFocus: false, retry: 1)
AuthContext.tsx: Logout now calls queryClient.clear() to purge stale cached data

React Query Hooks (`src/hooks/useApi.ts`)

Axios Client (`src/api/client.ts`)

Fixed snakeToCamel regex: /_([a-z])/g → /_([a-z0-9])/g to handle digits after underscores

TypeScript Types (`src/types/index.ts`)

Made Review.venueDetail optional: venueDetail?: Venue | null

Components

ReviewCard.tsx: Added useEffect sync for liked/likeCount/bookmarked from props
ReviewCard.tsx: Fixed double-tap handler (preventDefault + stopPropagation to avoid Link navigation)
ReviewCard.tsx: Changed HTML IDs from venue-name-based to review-id-based (fixes duplicate IDs)

N+1 query fix: get_is_liked/get_is_bookmarked now use getattr(obj, '_is_liked', fallback) for pre-annotated querysets
get_recent_comments: Uses hasattr(obj, '_recent_comments') for prefetched data
CommentCreateSerializer.validate_parent: Added cross-review validation for parent comment

Views (`reviews/views.py`)

Wrapped perform_create, perform_destroy, LikeView, BookmarkView, CommentListCreateView, CommentDeleteView in transaction.atomic()
Added perform_update to ReviewViewSet to recompute quality_score on edit
Added permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated] to LikeView and BookmarkView

Users (`users/serializers.py`, `users/views.py`)

Removed email from public UserSerializer (security: prevents email scraping)
Created UserPrivateSerializer for MeView (includes email for authenticated user only)
Wrapped FollowView.post/delete in transaction.atomic()
Added context={"request": request} to serializer calls in RegisterView/LoginView

Playlists (`playlists/views.py`)

Feed (`feed/engine.py`, `feed/views.py`)

Added text = review.text or "" null guard in compute_quality_score()
Added explicit permission_classes to all feed views (FeedView, TrendingView, TasteProfileView, FeedTierView)
