+Next.js web dashboard for configuring the ZyroX Discord bot.

 </div>

-## ✦ Overview
+## Overview

-This folder contains the ZyroX web dashboard built with `Next.js 14` (App Router), `TypeScript`, and `Tailwind CSS`. It connects to the bot's FastAPI backend via a permanent Cloudflare Tunnel HTTPS URL and lets server admins manage all bot settings through a sleek, branded UI.

+- **Discord OAuth login** — users only see servers they can manage
+- **Server-side API proxy** — `DASHBOARD_API_KEY` never exposed to the browser
+- **Guild permission checks** — bot API verifies Discord Manage Server / Admin rights
+- **Fully branded** — name and colours via environment variables
+- **Vercel-ready**

-## ✦ Environment Reference
+## Environment Reference

 | Variable | Description |
 |---|---|
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` | Full URL to the bot's FastAPI backend — use the Cloudflare Tunnel URL |
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_DASHBOARD_API_KEY` | Must exactly match `DASHBOARD_API_KEY` in the bot `.env` |
-| `NEXTAUTH_URL` | Your dashboard's public URL (Vercel domain in production) |
+| `DASHBOARD_API_URL` | Bot API URL (server-side). Local: `http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/v1` |
+| `DASHBOARD_API_KEY` | Must match bot `DASHBOARD_API_KEY` — **server-side only** |
+| `NEXTAUTH_URL` | Dashboard public URL |
 | `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` | Random secret for NextAuth session signing |
 | `DISCORD_CLIENT_ID` | Discord OAuth2 client ID |
 | `DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET` | Discord OAuth2 client secret |
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_IDS` | Comma-separated Discord user IDs with admin panel access |
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_BRAND_NAME` | Bot name shown in the dashboard UI |
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_BRAND_NAME_WORD` | Short abbreviation shown in the dashboard (e.g. `ZX`) |
+| `ADMIN_IDS` | Server-side admin user IDs (for admin API routes) |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_IDS` | Same IDs for admin panel UI visibility |

+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_BRAND_NAME_WORD` | Short abbreviation (e.g. `ZX`) |
+
+> Do **not** set `NEXT_PUBLIC_DASHBOARD_API_KEY`. The browser uses `/api/proxy`, which adds the secret server-side.

 ---

-## ✦ Deployment (Vercel)
-
-**Step 1 — Connect your repo**
-
-Go to [vercel.com](https://vercel.com) → **Add New Project** → connect your GitHub repo → set root directory to `dashboard/`
-
-Vercel auto-detects Next.js — no build settings needed.
-
-**Step 2 — Add environment variables**
-
-In **Settings → Environment Variables**, add all keys from the table above.
-
-| Variable | Production Value |
-|---|---|
-| `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` | `https://api.yourdomain.com/api/v1` |
-| `NEXTAUTH_URL` | `https://your-app.vercel.app` |
-| `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` | [generate one](https://generate-secret.vercel.app/32) |
-| `DISCORD_CLIENT_ID` | from [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) |
-
-**Step 3 — Add redirect URI in Discord**
-
-In your Discord app → **OAuth2 → Redirects** → add:
+## How API auth works

 ```
-https://your-app.vercel.app/api/auth/callback/discord
+Browser  →  /api/proxy/guilds/...  →  Next.js (session check)
+         →  Bot API with:
+              Authorization: Bearer DASHBOARD_API_KEY
+              X-Discord-Access-Token: <oauth token>
+              X-Discord-User-Id: <user id>
+         →  Bot verifies Discord Manage Server permission per guild
 ```

-**Step 4 — Deploy**
-
-Hit **Deploy**. Vercel builds and publishes automatically. ✓
+SSR (server components) call the bot API directly with the same headers from the active session.

 ---

-## ✦ Connecting to the Bot API
+## Deployment (Vercel)

-The dashboard reads the API URL from `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL`.
+1. Connect repo → set root directory to `dashboard/`
+2. Add all environment variables from the table above
+3. Set `NEXTAUTH_URL` to your Vercel domain
+4. Add OAuth redirect: `https://your-app.vercel.app/api/auth/callback/discord`
+5. Deploy

-| Environment | Value |
-|---|---|
-| Local dev | `http://localhost:8000/api/v1` |
-| Production | `https://api.yourdomain.com/api/v1` (Cloudflare Tunnel URL) |
+For production with Cloudflare Tunnel, set:

-The bot prints the confirmed URL on every startup:
+```env
+DASHBOARD_API_URL=https://api.yourdomain.com/api/v1
 ```
-◈ Tunnel: API is live at  https://api.yourdomain.com
-  ↳ NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL = https://api.yourdomain.com/api/v1
-```
-
-This URL is permanent — it never changes between restarts as long as the Cloudflare Tunnel token stays the same.

 ---

-## ✦ Troubleshooting
+## Troubleshooting

 | Problem | Fix |
 |---|---|
-| Auth error on login | Check Discord OAuth client ID/secret and redirect URI in Developer Portal |
-| Dashboard can't load data | Confirm bot is running with `API_ENABLED=true` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` is correct |
-| CORS error in browser | Add your Vercel URL to `CORS_ORIGINS` in the bot's `.env` |
-| `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` error | Make sure `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` is set and non-empty |
-| API key rejected (401) | `NEXT_PUBLIC_DASHBOARD_API_KEY` must exactly match `DASHBOARD_API_KEY` in the bot |
-| Tunnel URL changed | Cloudflare named tunnels always produce the same URL — check `CF_TUNNEL_TOKEN` is valid |
+| Dashboard can't load data | Bot running with `API_ENABLED=true`, `DASHBOARD_API_URL` correct |
+| 401 from bot API | `DASHBOARD_API_KEY` must match bot `.env` exactly |
+| 403 on guild routes | User must have Manage Server or Admin on that Discord server |
+| Admin panel 403 | Add your Discord ID to `ADMIN_IDS` and bot `DASHBOARD_ADMIN_IDS` |
+| Auth error on login | Check Discord OAuth client ID/secret and redirect URI |
