## Authentication System Design

### Simple Master Password Authentication
- **No User Registration**: Single master password for the entire application
- **No Email System**: No email verification or password reset via email
- **Environment Configuration**: Master password hash stored securely in .env
- **JWT Tokens**: Stateless authentication using JWT for API access
- **Session Management**: Client-side token storage and management

### Authentication Flow
1. **Login**: POST `/auth/login` with master password
2. **Token**: Receive JWT token for subsequent requests
3. **Authorization**: Include token in Authorization header for protected endpoints
4. **Verification**: Use `/auth/verify` to check token validity
5. **Logout**: Client removes token (stateless logout)

### Security Features
- Password hashing with SHA-256 and salt
- Configurable token expiry
- JWT secret from environment variables
- No sensitive data in source code

## Priority Order
1. **Critical Priority**: Fix API implementation bugs and security vulnerabilities
2. **High Priority**: Complete core functionality (Anime Controller, Episode Controller)
3. **Medium Priority**: Performance optimizations (Database Service, Caching)
4. **Low Priority**: Enhanced features and testing

## Notes
- ✅ Authentication system uses simple master password (no email/user management)
- Follow the repository pattern consistently across all data access
- Use dependency injection for all service dependencies
- Implement proper logging for all controller actions
- Add input validation using Pydantic models for all endpoints
- Use the `get_current_user` dependency for protecting endpoints that require authentication
- All API endpoints should follow RESTful conventions
- Implement proper OpenAPI documentation for all endpoints
- Use environment variables for all configuration values
- Follow Python typing best practices with proper type hints
