Full-codebase-audit 2026-05-30 outputs:
- Audit report: 09 - Audits/Full Codebase Audit - 2026-05-30.md
- 81 issue files ISSUE-055..135 (decisions + 1 skipped no-brainer).
- Scanner docs from scratch (was zero): architecture, data model, API ref, payment
  flow, operations runbook + repo README.
- Doc-sync updates across API reference, data models, flows, design system.
- Secret Rotation Runbook (08 - Operations) for the exposed credentials.
- Reusable workflow guide (07 - Development) + .claude/workflows/full-codebase-audit.js.

Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

# Backend: native bcrypt addon present alongside bcryptjs — unnecessary build toolchain dependency
**Severity:** medium
**Domain:** Dependencies
**Labels:** backend, dependencies, cleanup
## Description
`backend/package.json:67` includes `bcrypt` (native C++ addon, requires build toolchain) alongside `bcryptjs` (pure JS). Code uses `bcryptjs`. The native addon adds unnecessary native build complexity and is an unused dependency.
## Options
1. Remove `bcrypt` (keep `bcryptjs`) after confirming no imports and no migration need.
2. Standardize on native `bcrypt` instead (faster) and migrate hashes-compatible.
3. Leave both.
## Recommendation
Confirm `bcryptjs` is the sole hasher and remove native `bcrypt` to drop the build toolchain requirement. Hashing libs are sensitive — verify before removing.
## Affected Files
