> Clerk authentication migration, session review system, case completion flow, skill progress visualization, and UI enhancements.

## Clerk Authentication Migration

### Full NextAuth to Clerk Transition

* Replaced NextAuth with Clerk for user authentication across the entire application
* Updated all API routes to utilize Clerk's authentication methods
* Refactored components to align with new authentication strategy

### Waitlist System

* Introduced waitlist functionality replacing early access mechanism
* Users can request access via email with integrated `joinWaitlist` API from Clerk
* Configurable `WAITLIST_ENABLED` flag to toggle between waitlist and direct login

### Email Templates

* Created branded HTML email templates for Clerk integration: verification, invitation, magic-link, password-reset, verification-code, and waitlist-confirmation

***

## Session Review System

### Review Dashboard

* New `/dashboard/review` route displaying all user sessions as filterable cards
* Date grouping: Today, Yesterday, This Week, or Month/Year for older sessions
* Infinite scroll pagination with 12 initial sessions

### ReviewSessionList Component

* Filtering by status (all, completed, in-progress)
* Sorting by date or score with ascending/descending toggle
* Skeleton loaders for improved loading states

### SessionReviewPanel

* Tabbed navigation with direction-aware animations
* Five tabs: Overview, Objections, Witnesses, Insights, Transcript
* AI-powered insights generation

***

## Case Completion Flow

* Modal displayed when all witnesses are examined in a simulation
* Animated trophy icon with spring physics on completion
* Final score preview and navigation to session review

***

## Skill Progress Visualization

### SkillProgressChart Component

* Area bump chart displaying skill progression across sessions using `@nivo/bump`
* Five tracked metrics: Examination Quality, Objection Accuracy, Defense Against Objections, Question Efficiency, Overall Score
* DaisyUI color-coded series with theme-aware updates

### Skill Progress API

* `/api/user/skill-progress` endpoint returning series data and session labels
* `hasEnoughData` flag for hiding chart when insufficient sessions exist

***

## UI/UX Enhancements

* Replaced "Favorites" with "Bookmarks" terminology and icons throughout
* Header blur effect and scroll fade disabled during modal interactions
* Button style consistency updates (`btn-primary` instead of `btn-success`)

***

## Witness Examination Refinements

* Larger textarea for key facts input in WitnessCard
* Temporary expansion in WitnessToolbar when new elicits are covered
* Elicit polarity scoring with new utility functions

***

## Examination Logic Refinements

* Separated elicit-based and rebuttal-based progress tracking
* Option to skip opposing counsel responses, streamlining to judge rulings
* Differentiated instructions for direct and cross-examination scenarios

***

## Backend & Infrastructure

* Changed database imports from `drizzle-orm` to `@payloadcms/db-postgres`
* Added `@nivo/bump` and `@nivo/core` for data visualization
* Excluded `scripts` directory from TypeScript compilation
* Admin access verification added to GitHub and Linear API routes
