    • Documents routes (POST, PUT, DELETE, textversion, public, accessibility)
  • Ensure ffmpeg is installed on the production server for video processing
  • Implement JWT-based authentication with proper security measures
  • Ensure strict authentication for all admin routes
  • Keep all forms accessible and keyboard navigable
  • Ensure admin interfaces work well on mobile devices
  • All uploaded content must support WCAG 2.2 AA compliance
