🔒 Security & Deployment

GitHub Guidelines

• NEVER push your .env or .env.local files to GitHub. They are listed in .gitignore by default.
• Use the provided .env.example to guide your production environment setup.

Supabase Security

• Enable RLS: Go to your Supabase Dashboard -> Database -> Policies and ensure Row Level Security (RLS) is enabled for all tables.
• Service Role Key: The SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY should ONLY be used in the .env file and never exposed in client-side code.

Payment Integration

• This project uses Lahza for production payments. Ensure your webhook secrets are correctly configured in your deployment environment to prevent spoofing.
