Summary & Changes 📃

• Resolves: Security: Remove console logging of sensitive information in frontend #173
• Summary: Remove console logging statements from frontend codebase that could expose sensitive
  information
  • 🔨 Fixes security vulnerability where API URLs, tokens, JWT data, and user information were being
    logged to browser console
  • 👀 Console remains clean in production with no sensitive data exposure; error handling preserved
    through UI feedback (snackbar messages, state updates)
  • 🗨️ Removed 40+ console.log/console.error statements across 21 files; test mock files intentionally
    left unchanged
• Changes:
  • ✅ Removed API URL logging from auth components (sign-in, sign-up, change-password)
  • ✅ Removed JWT token and user data logging from useAuth, userUtils
  • ✅ Removed event data debug logging from useEventForm, useEditForm hooks
  • ✅ Removed navigation/state debugging from event-detail page
  • ✅ Removed error console.error statements (replaced with silent handling or UI feedback)
  • 🛠️ No breaking changes - all error handling preserved via snackbar/state
  • 📝 Files modified: LoginWindow, CoverPhotoDialog, AttendDialog, ArchiveDialog, sign-in/page,
    signupApi, useEventForm, useEditForm, useAuth, userUtils, event-detail/page, profile/page, and 9 others

How to Test 🧪

1. Steps to Reproduce:

   - Step 2: Run npm run lint - should pass with no errors
   - Step 3: Open browser DevTools console, navigate through the app (login, view events, attend events,
   edit events)
2. Expected Behavior: Console should be clean with no API URLs, tokens, or sensitive data logged
3. Actual Behavior (if bug): Previously, console showed API endpoints, JWT tokens, and debug data
