Change Log

Introduction

This documents aims to detail all the changes that have been made across the Tory Ferry platform.

Changes

Stripe Metadata Update | 2026-07-25

• Stripe PaymentIntents are now tagged with the ticket id, ticket ref, user id and payment method
  • Payments are traceable back to a ticket from the Stripe dashboard for every ticket, not just ones that complete payment
  • All 8 PaymentIntent creation flows now go through the same insertTicketWithPaymentIntent and tagPaymentIntentWithTicket helpers

App and API Overhaul | 2026-07-22

Huge Update

• API:
  • Upgraded the whole dependency stack to match the Arranmore API - Express 4 to 5, MongoDB 4 to 7, Stripe 10 to 19, firebase-admin 11 to 13, react-email 1 to 6, TypeScript 5.3 to 5.8. Node 20.19+ is now required
  • Migrated the v1 controllers off the MongoDB callback API that was dropped in driver 5 - 46 call sites. On the new driver those requests hung forever with no error, GET /timetables included, which the app calls on every launch
  • Fixed crashes found along the way:
    • Cancelling a sailing with tickets on it crashed the API and emailed nobody - the cancellation email was being called with one argument against a four-argument signature
    • An unknown user on getPaymentIntent carried on into a null dereference instead of stopping
  • Moved the database, Stripe and Twilio secrets out of the config files and into gitignored .env files, with a documented .env.example
    • This uncovered a dotenv ordering bug the hardcoded values had been masking - the config was read before the env file had loaded
    • The old credentials are still in the git history and need rotating
  • Error reporting added via Sentry and Bugsink, along with Loki log shipping and a request logger
  • The auth token moved from req.body.authUser to req.authUser - Express 5 leaves the body undefined on GETs, which would have 500'd every authenticated ticket read
  • Added a local test harness - 88 v2 routes are probed for the Express 5 upgrade and all nine email templates are rendered
• App:
  • Fixed the sold-out guard - it compared seats against a car count, which is always 0 on Tory, so passengers could be added to a full sailing with the Buy button still live. Only the server-side check at payment stopped it
  • The ticket card now shows the price actually paid rather than recalculating it on the phone, so discounts and islander rates match the receipt
  • Fixed tickets greying out 30 minutes before departure instead of after - the grace period was added to the wrong side, so the QR code read as expired exactly when the crew needed to scan it
  • Free passenger bookings now go through the normal booking path - they were being sent to a reservation endpoint that doesn't exist in the API and failed with "Reservation Failed"
    • Free baskets are re-priced against the server price list before a ticket is issued, so a spoofed zero total can't mint a valid ticket
    • The genuinely free fares are islander children under 14 - the smartpass is charged for
  • Timetable parsing is now typed and guarded - one bad record used to take the whole timetables page down instead of being skipped
  • Translations now come from Tolgee as the source of truth, with a pull script that runs before a build
  • Now targeting Android 16 (API 36) ahead of the Google Play deadline on 31 August 2026
  • Added a Maestro device test suite - four flows passing on iOS 26.2 and Android 16
• Wrote up the Tory/Arranmore parity audit and the upgrade in PARITY_WITH_ARRANMORE.md and UPGRADE_NOTES.md

Email Update | 2026-06-22

• Removed "All tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable" from the cancellation emails

API Updates | 2026-06-13

• Fixed a kiosk timezone bug - the weekday was worked out on the server's UTC clock, so a date picked at midnight rolled back a day and returned the wrong timetable
• Ticket history now records who made the change, and sorts in the right order

API Updates | 2026-05-31

• Email logging now includes the ticket reference and the recipient address

App Update | 2026-05-01

Admin Reroute Functionality | 2025-10-23

• Added reroute functionality to the Admin panel
• Added all reroute API endpoints
  • When rerouting a ferry, no emails are sent, just marked as "Requires Attention"
• Added cancellation - "Mark as Requies Attention" to the cancellation panel
