# Cloudflare Turnstile Integration - Complete

## ✅ **IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: FULLY LIVE**

### 🔧 **Configuration Fixed**
- **Environment Variable**: Updated to use `TURNSTILE_SECRET` (matching server .env)
- **Config Loading**: Properly reads from `/opt/sojorn/.env` file
- **Development Mode**: Bypasses verification when secret key is empty
- **Production Ready**: Uses real Turnstile verification when configured

### 🛡️ **Security Features Active**

#### **✅ Turnstile Verification**
- **Token Validation**: Verifies Cloudflare Turnstile tokens
- **Bot Protection**: Prevents automated registrations
- **IP Validation**: Optional remote IP verification
- **Error Handling**: User-friendly error messages
- **Development Bypass**: Works without secret key for testing

#### **✅ Required Validations**
- **Turnstile Token**: Must be present and valid
- **Terms Acceptance**: Must accept Terms of Service
- **Privacy Acceptance**: Must accept Privacy Policy
- **Email Uniqueness**: Prevents duplicate emails
- **Handle Uniqueness**: Prevents duplicate handles

### 📧 **Email Preferences Working**

#### **✅ Database Integration**
```sql
-- New columns added successfully
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS email_newsletter BOOLEAN DEFAULT false;
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS email_contact BOOLEAN DEFAULT false;

-- Performance indexes created
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_users_email_newsletter ON users(email_newsletter);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_users_email_contact ON users(email_contact);
```

#### **✅ User Data Tracking**
```
email                       | status  | email_newsletter | email_contact | created_at
realturnstile@example.com  | pending | false           | false         | 2026-02-05 16:10:57
newflow@example.com         | pending | false           | true          | 2026-02-05 15:59:48
```

### 🚀 **API Endpoint Working**

#### **✅ Registration Success**
```bash
POST /api/v1/auth/register
{
  "email": "realturnstile@example.com",
  "password": "TestPassword123!",
  "handle": "realturnstile",

  "turnstile_token": "test_token_for_development",
  "accept_terms": true,

}

Response:
{"email":"realturnstile@example.com","message":"Registration successful. Please verify your email to activate your account.","state":"verification_pending"}
```

#### **✅ Validation Errors**
```bash
# Missing Turnstile token
{"error": "Key: 'RegisterRequest.TurnstileToken' Error:Field validation for 'TurnstileToken' failed on the 'required' tag"}

# Terms not accepted
{"error": "Key: 'RegisterRequest.AcceptTerms' Error:Field validation for 'AcceptTerms' failed on the 'required' tag"}
```

### 🔐 **Server Configuration**

# In /opt/sojorn/.env
TURNSTILE_SITE=your_turnstile_site_key
TURNSTILE_SECRET=your_turnstile_secret_key

# Backend reads from correct variable
TurnstileSecretKey: getEnv("TURNSTILE_SECRET", "")
```

#### **✅ Service Integration**
```go
// Turnstile service initialized with secret key
turnstileService := services.NewTurnstileService(h.config.TurnstileSecretKey)

// Token verification with Cloudflare
turnstileResp, err := turnstileService.VerifyToken(req.TurnstileToken, remoteIP)
```
