ZIP lookup (GET /api/members/by-zip/{zip}):
- Two-step geocoding: Nominatim (ZIP → lat/lng) then Census TIGERweb
Legislative identify (lat/lng → congressional district via GEOID)
- Handles at-large states (AK, DE, MT, ND, SD, VT, WY)
- Added rep_lookup health check to admin External API Health panel
congress_api.py fixes:
- parse_member_from_api: normalize state full name → 2-letter code
(Congress.gov returns "Florida", DB expects "FL")
- parse_member_from_api: read district from top-level data field,
not current_term (district is not inside the term object)
Celery beat: schedule sync_members daily at 1 AM UTC so chamber,
district, and contact info stay current without manual triggering
Members page redesign: photo avatars, party/state/chamber chips,
phone + website links, ZIP lookup form to find your reps
Draft letter improvements: pass rep_name from ZIP lookup so letter
opens with "Dear Representative Franklin," instead of generic salutation;
add has_document filter to bills list endpoint
UX additions: HelpTip component, How It Works page, "How it works"
sidebar nav link, collections page description copy

Phase 3 completion — Personal Workflow feature set is now complete.
Collections / Watchlists:
- New tables: collections (UUID share_token, slug, public/private) and
collection_bills (unique bill-per-collection constraint)
- Full CRUD API at /api/collections with bill add/remove endpoints
- Public share endpoint /api/collections/share/{token} (no auth)
- /collections list page with inline create form and delete
- /collections/[id] detail page: inline rename, public toggle,
copy-share-link, bill search/add/remove
- CollectionPicker bookmark-icon popover on bill detail pages
- Collections nav link in sidebar (auth-required)
Shareable Brief Links:
- share_token UUID column on bill_briefs (backfilled on migration)
- Unified public share router at /api/share (brief + collection)
- /share/brief/[token] — minimal layout, full AIBriefCard, CTAs
- /share/collection/[token] — minimal layout, bill list, CTA
- Share2 button in BriefPanel header row, "Link copied!" flash
AuthGuard: /collections → AUTH_REQUIRED; /share prefix → NO_SHELL_PATHS

- Add get_optional_user dependency; dashboard returns guest-safe payload
- AuthGuard only redirects /following and /notifications for guests
- Sidebar hides auth-required nav items and shows Sign In/Register for guests
- Dashboard shows trending bills as "Most Popular" for unauthenticated visitors
- FollowButton opens AuthModal instead of acting when not signed in
- Members page pins followed members at the top for quick unfollowing
- useFollows skips API call and invalidates dashboard on follow/unfollow

Notifications:
- New /notifications page accessible to all users (ntfy + RSS config)
- ntfy now supports no-auth, Bearer token, and HTTP Basic auth (for ACL-protected self-hosted servers)
- RSS enabled/disabled independently of ntfy; token auto-generated on first GET
- Notification settings removed from admin-only Settings page; replaced with link card
- Sidebar adds Notifications nav link for all users
- notification_dispatcher.py: fan-out now marks RSS events dispatched independently
Action history:
- Migration 0012: deduplicates existing bill_actions rows and adds UNIQUE(bill_id, action_date, action_text)
- congress_poller.py: replaces existence-check inserts with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING (race-condition safe)
- Added backfill_all_bill_actions task (no date filter) + admin endpoint POST /backfill-all-actions
