Minor Release - MFA Profile Controls, Auth Simplification, and Surface Cleanup

Summary

• Added and iterated in-app MFA phone-update capabilities with re-auth enforcement and shared utility refactors to improve account-security workflows.
• Simplified registration/auth configuration by removing extra allowlist/default-company wiring while keeping core validation and onboarding behavior intact.
• Stabilized access/routing flows through auth action path updates and mobile-prevention redirect fixes.
• Refined interface surfaces with toolbar color/theming iterations, modal/message polish, and cleanup of legacy footer/portal paths.
• Performed repository and public-surface cleanup by removing stale assets/components/script integrations and refreshing compatibility/config metadata.

Detailed Changes

MFA and Authentication Workflow Improvements

• Added profile-level MFA update flow support and iterated the associated modal UX/state handling.
• Hardened MFA re-authentication flow behavior for phone update operations.
• Refactored MFA update logic into utility/separate component pathways for clearer responsibilities.
• Continued auth flow cleanup by removing registration-config indirection and simplifying login-path MFA checks.

Routing and Access Guard Refinements

• Updated auth email action handling and route behavior for better reliability.
• Fixed and iterated mobile-prevention routing logic to reduce path-specific bypass risk.
• Applied additional in-app link fixes after route and surface cleanup.

UI, Theming, and Surface Cleanup

• Added toolbar color selector development updates.
• Applied color theming refinements, including a permanent dark-theme pass in this release window.
• Improved modal and message styling/error feedback behaviors.
• Removed footer component/surface remnants and deprecated portal-related link pathways.

Legal, Community, and Support Surface Updates

• Refined registration, terms, and privacy content/flow integration.
• Added terms-update toast messaging updates.
• Added Patreon and sponsor button pathways for community support surfaces.
• Included FUNDING file add/remove/reapply cycle adjustments in repo metadata.

Maintenance and Repository Hygiene

• Refreshed compatibility date metadata.
• Included NOTICE file update and corrective revert within the release window.

Key Fix Summary

Category	Change	Impact
MFA Security Flow	Profile MFA update + re-auth and utility refactor	Improved reliability and maintainability of MFA management
Auth/Access Stability	Email action/routing updates + mobile-prevention fixes	More consistent authentication and guarded-route behavior
UI/Surface Cleanup	Theming/modal/link cleanup and footer/portal removal	Cleaner interface and reduced legacy surface complexity
Repository Hygiene	Removal of stale assets/components/scripts and metadata refresh	Lower maintenance overhead and reduced config drift

Technical Implementation Details

Authentication Layer

• MFA profile update behavior was refactored and hardened around re-auth requirements and clearer component boundaries.
• Login-path MFA checks were streamlined through shared utility usage and registration configuration simplification.

Routing and Public Surface

• Route and link updates focused on reducing inconsistent path behavior and improving support/legal navigation reliability.
• Public/static cleanup removed stale artifacts that no longer map to active application surfaces.

Release Statistics

• Commit Range: v2.1.0..HEAD
• Commits Included: 37 (non-merge)
• Build/Typecheck Context: Completed in local release prep workflow

Closing Note

v2.2.0 focuses on practical security-flow hardening, auth path simplification, and cleanup-driven maintainability improvements across both application and repository surfaces.
