Points API
Endpoints live under /api/points/*. The router is backend/src/routes/pointsRoutes.ts, delegating to PointsController and PointsService (backend/src/services/points/PointsService.ts). The router applies authenticateToken globally — every endpoint requires Bearer JWT.
Models: PointTransaction, LevelConfig. Points are minted automatically by the platform (referral signup, successful purchases, reviews) and can be redeemed for discounts or marketplace credits. Levels progress as the user's lifetime points cross configured thresholds.

Side effects and real-time
PointsService emits Socket.IO events on level-up and referral rewards:
level-uponuser-<userId>when a transaction crosses a level threshold.referral-rewardonuser-<referrerId>when a referred user triggers a reward.
See Socket Events for payload shape.
