New Features

Family/Parent Account Registration — new signup flow allows parents to create a family account and add multiple children in one session
Parental Approval Flow — child accounts require explicit parent approval before activation; parents receive an approval email to review and approve or deny
Family Signup API — 3-step backend process: parent account creation, child accounts, and finalize with email notifications
Family Approval Page — dedicated page for parents to review child details, preview age-based permissions, and sign a consent form
Child Password Management — parents can view and reset child account passwords from the Parental Controls dashboard
Server-side enforcement prevents child accounts from changing their own passwords
Consent Form PDF Generation — multi-child family consent forms are generated as PDFs and emailed to parents upon approval
Consent Forms ZIP Download — parents can download a ZIP folder containing individual consent PDFs for all children; auto-cached for 1 hour and regenerates automatically if a new child is added
Child account verification emails now route to the parent's email address with child-specific template messaging
Parental Controls Forms section — parents can view consent form status and download individual or all consent forms from the dashboard
Auto-Configure Permissions — one-click button in Parental Controls automatically sets permissions and content ratings based on the child's age (under 13, 13–15, 16+)

Bug Fixes

Fixed child accounts getting 'profile not found' when viewing fake stream broadcaster profiles
Fixed child account email collision by using unique dummy emails for each child account
Fixed Add Child dialog stuck on step 2 by removing stale email validation guard
Cleaned up package.json — removed unused bcrypt, archiver, react-native-nodemediaclient and their type definitions
Merged duplicate API calls in stream watch page (broadcaster timeout + staff status now fetched in one request)
Added console.error to all previously silent catch blocks for easier debugging
Fixed screen orientation lock to only apply on mobile devices (was running on desktop too)
Added reconnect attempt counter UI overlay during WebRTC reconnection
Created useAdminPermissions hook to centralize admin auth checks across components
Created useModeration hook to abstract moderation action boilerplate
Wrapped key event handlers (play, volume, follow, like, mute) in useCallback to reduce unnecessary re-renders
Mobile chat drawer snap points are now computed dynamically based on actual video aspect ratio instead of hardcoded values
Added architectural comment documenting why separate polling intervals are kept independent
