# Corrected Errors and Improvements

## Repaired application foundation

- Restored `public/index.php`, `.htaccess`, framework configuration, provider registration, writable storage paths, cache/session/queue tables, and environment settings.
- Changed the requirement to Laravel 12 and PHP 8.2+ for compatibility with current XAMPP installations.
- Removed the incomplete Spatie role setup and replaced it with a built-in role system that requires no package-owned permission migrations.
- Removed the incomplete SQL installation method. Laravel migrations now define the complete schema.

## Security and data integrity

- Added role middleware and route protection.
- Added project ownership and panel-assignment checks to prevent IDOR access.
- Restricted private file downloads and enforced extension/size validation.
- Added login throttling, inactive-account blocking, forced password change support, CSRF protection, and audit logs.
- Prevented administrators from promoting users to Superadmin and protected the last active Superadmin account.
- Locked projects and competitions after evaluation/final completion.
- Blocked rubric changes after evaluation records exist.

## Completed workflows

- Competition creation, stages, final validation, lock, and audited reopen.
- Project registration with team leader, members, supervisors, files, and submission status.
- Rubric builder with decimal scores and exact 100% weight validation.
- Multi-panel assignment matrix.
- Draft/final panel evaluation, score-range checks, weighting, finalisation lock, and audited reopen.
- Category-separated ranking, tie handling, averages from finalised panels only, and award labels.
- Verifiable PDF certificates with revoke/restore actions.
- Transactional CSV imports and updated templates.
- Audit-log screen and demonstration data.

## Interface

- Replaced the small basic interface with a responsive dashboard, role-aware sidebar, accessible forms, modern cards, searchable tables, status badges, mobile navigation, evaluation cards, public result display, empty states, and printable certificates.
- The interface uses local CSS and JavaScript and does not require Bootstrap or another front-end build step.

## Version 3: Superadmin Panel Comment Printing

- Added a Superadmin-only consolidated panel evaluation comments report for each competition.
- Added a Superadmin-only detailed panel evaluation report for each project.
- Reports show panel identity, evaluation status, total score, finalisation time, panel comment, and score justification.
- The project report also shows the criterion-level score breakdown.
- Added print-friendly A4 formatting, confidentiality marking, report summaries, and dedicated Print buttons.
- No database migration is required because the existing evaluation comment and justification fields are reused.
