Subject: [PATCH] fix(auth): resolve admin login - token sanitization and
 missing password field
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

SUMMARY:
Fixed admin login failures caused by two issues:
1. Response sanitization middleware stripping auth tokens
2. Admin users missing password field in database

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS:
- sanitizeResponseData middleware removed ALL fields named 'token'
- This included authentication tokens that SHOULD be sent to clients
- Admin user records created without proper password field
- User.authenticate() failed on bcrypt.compare() with undefined password

FIXES:
1. Changed auth response field from 'token' to 'accessToken'
   - Avoids overly aggressive sanitization
   - More semantically correct (it's specifically an access token)
   - Frontend updated to use data.accessToken

2. Created fix-admin-user.js script
   - Properly creates admin user via User.create()
   - Ensures password field is bcrypt hashed
   - Deletes old malformed user records

3. Updated login.js auto-fill for correct dev email
   - Changed from admin@tractatus.local to admin@agenticgovernance.digital

TESTING:
- Local login now returns accessToken (308 char JWT)
- User object returned with proper ID serialization
- Auth flow: POST /api/auth/login → returns accessToken + user
- Ready for production deployment

FILES:
- src/controllers/auth.controller.js: Use accessToken field
- public/js/admin/login.js: Store data.accessToken, update default email
- scripts/fix-admin-user.js: Admin user creation/fix utility

NEXT STEPS:
1. Deploy to production
2. Run: node scripts/fix-admin-user.js admin@agenticgovernance.digital <password>
3. Test admin login at /admin/login.html
