WhiteX d32389a8ef Add LearnHouse Deployment Isolation Toolkit and debugging tools
- Introduced comprehensive documentation for diagnosing and fixing deployment isolation issues between DEV and LIVE instances.
- Implemented enhanced debug API endpoints for deployment verification, URL hardcoding detection, cookie isolation testing, and session configuration checks.
- Created scripts for visual demonstration of cookie isolation, enhanced debugging deployment, and verification of NextAuth cookie isolation.
- Developed a master isolation verification script to run all isolation checks in sequence and summarize results.
- Added detailed README and environment variable guidelines for proper deployment isolation.

# LearnHouse Isolation Fix: Improvements Summary
We've developed a comprehensive set of tools, scripts, and documentation to help diagnose and fix deployment isolation issues between DEV and LIVE instances. Here's a summary of the improvements:
## 1. Enhanced Debug Endpoints
We expanded the API debug capabilities significantly:
- **`/api/v1/debug/deployment`**: Enhanced with detailed database, Redis, container, and hostname information
- **`/api/v1/debug/urls`**: Improved to detect cross-contamination from both domains and categorize findings
- **`/api/v1/debug/cookies`**: New endpoint to test cookie isolation and detect cross-deployment cookies
- **`/api/v1/debug/session`**: New endpoint to check session configuration and origins
## 2. Verification Scripts
We created several verification scripts for different aspects of isolation:
- **`verify-enhanced-isolation.sh`**: Comprehensive isolation checks for all aspects of deployment
- **`test-nextauth-cookie-isolation.sh`**: Focused testing for NextAuth cookie isolation
- **`verify-all-isolation.sh`**: Master script that runs all verification checks and produces a report
- **`create-cookie-demo.sh`**: Visual tool to demonstrate and test cookie behavior in browsers
## 3. Documentation
- **`ENHANCED_DEBUG_TOOLS.md`**: Detailed guide to all debug endpoints and how to use them
- **`ISOLATION_TOOLKIT_README.md`**: Overview of all tools available for isolation testing
- **Updated `ISOLATION_IMPLEMENTATION_CHECKLIST.md`**: Comprehensive checklist with new tools
- **Updated `DATABASE_ISOLATION_FIX.md`**: Enhanced verification methods
## 4. Developer Experience
- Visual cookie isolation demo with browser-based testing
- HTML reports for easy sharing and analyzing of results
- Colored terminal output for easy interpretation of verification results
- Container and hostname information for infrastructure verification
## 5. Implementation Details
The specific code improvements include:
1. **Enhanced database information**:
- Now shows database username, hostname and database name
- Extracts Redis instance information
2. **Cookie isolation testing**:
- Sets test cookies with deployment name
- Checks if cookies from one deployment are visible to another
- Visual browser-based tool to demonstrate isolation
3. **Session configuration verification**:
- Analyzes headers and environment variables that affect session behavior
- Shows where sessions would be sent based on current configuration
4. **Comprehensive URL checking**:
- Categorizes URLs by domain to identify cross-contamination
- Reports specific instances of hardcoded URLs in the frontend
## Usage
To use these enhanced tools:
1. Deploy the enhanced debug module:
```bash
./deploy-enhanced-debug.sh
```
2. Run the comprehensive verification:
```bash
./verify-all-isolation.sh
```
3. Check the reports generated in `/tmp/learnhouse-isolation-report/`
These enhancements will make it much easier to diagnose and fix isolation issues between the DEV and LIVE LearnHouse deployments.
