CodeSlick Changelog

Detailed history of improvements, bug fixes, and feature enhancements.


2025-10-18 Session

Dashboard Metrics Fix (00:15)

  • Problem: Together.ai metrics showing zero in Operations Dashboard despite actual usage
  • Root Cause: /api/generate-fix endpoint was calling Together.ai API without tracking usage to Vercel KV
  • Solution: Added UsageTracker.track() calls to /api/generate-fix/route.ts (lines 146-185)
  • Tracks: Tokens (input/output), costs ($0.20/1M tokens), latency, success rate
  • Impact: Dashboard now shows accurate Together.ai usage from individual "Generate Fix" requests

Vercel Analytics Integration (00:45)

  • Added: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights for performance monitoring
  • File Modified: src/app/layout.tsx - added <Analytics /> and <SpeedInsights /> components
  • Package Installed: @vercel/analytics and @vercel/speed-insights (combined package)
  • Features:
  • Automatic page view tracking
  • Core Web Vitals monitoring (LCP, FID, CLS)
  • Real-time visitor metrics
  • Geographic and device analytics
  • Added: External service links section in dashboard sidebar
  • File Modified: src/components/dashboard/Sidebar.tsx
  • Links Added:
  • Vercel Dashboard - Deployments & Analytics
  • PostHog Analytics - User Analytics
  • Together.ai Console - AI API Usage
  • GitHub Repository - Source Code
  • Features: Each link opens in new tab, professional design matching dashboard aesthetic

Emoji Removal from How to Use Modal (01:00)

  • Removed: All emoji characters from src/components/HowToUse.tsx
  • Replaced With: Lucide React icon components for professional appearance
  • Replacements: ⚑ β†’ Zap, πŸ”§ β†’ Settings, ✨ β†’ TrendingUp, βœ… β†’ CheckCircle, πŸ€– β†’ Activity, πŸ’‘ β†’ AlertTriangle
  • Result: Clean, professional modal with consistent icon styling

Build Fix (01:05)

  • Problem: Vercel deployment failing with webpack error "Identifier 'elapsed' has already been declared"
  • Root Cause: Duplicate const elapsed declaration in src/app/api/generate-fix/route.ts
  • Solution: Removed duplicate at line 197, kept line 147 for both tracking and logging
  • Result: Clean compilation, successful Vercel deployment

2025-10-16 Session

SQL Injection Template Fix

  • Problem: SQL injection "Generate Fix" was keeping vulnerable concatenation in query string
  • Root Cause: Regex patterns were not correctly handling SQL quotes (') inside Java strings (")
  • Solution: 5 new regex patterns to handle different quote combinations in src/lib/utils/security-fixer.ts (lines 283-325)
  • Result: Template now generates correct PreparedStatement code with clean ? placeholders
  • Impact: Users can trust the auto-fix to generate secure, production-ready code

2025-10-14 Session

Python Analyzer Enhancement

Mission: Achieve "over the top quality performance" for all analyzers

5 New Checks Added:

  1. tempfile.mktemp() Security Check - MEDIUM severity
  2. Detects insecure temporary file creation (race condition vulnerability)
  3. Suggests tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() or mkstemp()

  4. import() Security Check - HIGH severity

  5. Detects arbitrary dynamic module loading
  6. Suggests importlib.import_module() with strict whitelist validation

  7. Assignment in Conditional Check - Syntax error detection

  8. Detects if x = 10: instead of if x == 10:
  9. Allows := (walrus operator)

  10. Invalid Escape Sequence Detection - Syntax error detection

  11. Detects invalid backslash sequences like "C:\new\folder"
  12. Suggests raw strings r"..." or proper escaping
  13. CRITICAL FIX: Fixed regex compilation error

  14. Improved Unclosed String Detection

  15. Enhanced to properly count unescaped quotes
  16. Avoids false positives from comments

Operations Dashboard Implementation

Overview

The Operations Dashboard provides unified monitoring of all CodeSlick system metrics in a single interface. It tracks Together.ai API usage, Vercel deployments, and PostHog analytics with real-time updates and historical trend visualization.

Architecture

  • Security: Custom hybrid authentication (IP whitelist + API key) - zero external dependencies
  • Storage: Vercel KV (Redis) for metrics tracking with 90-day retention
  • Aggregation: Daily and monthly aggregates for performance optimization
  • Visualization: Recharts-based area charts for trend analysis
  • Auto-refresh: Metrics update every 5 minutes automatically

Tracked Metrics

Together.ai (via UsageTracker): - Total tokens (input + output) - Monthly costs (calculated: $0.20/1M tokens) - Average latency (response time) - Success rate (successful/total requests) - Historical trends (tokens, costs, requests, latency over 30 days)

Vercel: - Total deployments (last 30 days) - Successful deployments (READY state) - Failed deployments (ERROR state) - Recent deployment list with status

PostHog: - Daily Active Users (DAU) - Weekly Active Users (WAU) - Monthly Active Users (MAU) - Total code analyses performed

Setup Documentation

See DASHBOARD_SECURITY.md, VERCEL_KV_SETUP.md, and DASHBOARD_README.md for complete setup instructions.
