104-107: Silent error handling may hide persistence failures.The error from
persistUserStatsis silently discarded. If the stats normalization persistence fails, it could lead to repeated unnecessary updates on subsequent requests and mask underlying database issues.Consider at minimum logging the error:

6-6: Log import added and used for JWT debugging - LGTM.The

582-586: Default config path references potentially deleted file.The default config path points to

logimport was correctly added to resolve the compilation error whenlog.Printlnis called at line 116.
99-118: ConnectRedis implementation looks correct.The Redis connection function properly initializes the client, tests connectivity with a ping, and logs success. Error handling is appropriate.

3-5: Go 1.24 is a released stable version.Go 1.24 was released on February 11, 2025, and go1.24.4 is a valid patch version. No build failures will occur due to version unavailability. However, Go 1.25 is now the latest stable version (as of December 2025), so consider upgrading to a more recent version if compatibility allows.

62-73: SafeWrite methods with mutex protection - good pattern.The
SafeWriteJSONandSafeWriteMessagemethods properly use a mutex to prevent concurrent writes to the WebSocket connection, which is required by the gorilla/websocket library.
439-450: Recipient snapshot helper properly handles concurrent access.
snapshotTeamRecipientscorrectly acquires the mutex and creates a copy of clients before releasing the lock, allowing safe iteration outside the critical section.
836-842: Mutex unlock placement after goroutine spawn is correct but fragile.The mutex is unlocked at line 918, which is after the goroutine is spawned at line 880. This is correct because the goroutine doesn't execute immediately and re-acquires locks as needed. However, the code path is complex - consider restructuring for clarity.
Note: The goroutine correctly re-acquires
teamRoomsMutexandroom.Mutexbefore accessing shared state, which is proper.Also applies to: 918-918
948-949: Minor formatting cleanup - LGTM.The added blank line improves readability between variable assignment and the loop.

20-35: Unable to verify - repository access failed.The review comment requests verification of the Comment-to-AdminComment rename using shell commands, but no verification results are provided in the original review. Additionally, the codebase cannot be accessed to independently confirm that:
- The old Comment type references have been fully updated across backend code
- models/comment.go exists and contains a Comment struct that would cause the collision
- The rename is complete and no broken references remain
The code snippet itself appears correctly documented, but the claimed namespace collision fix requires verification across the entire codebase to confirm completeness.

Potential scope creep and security concern.
The SMTP configuration block appears to add new functionality rather than fix the compilation errors described in PR #128. Consider whether this belongs in a separate feature PR.
Additionally, storing the SMTP password in plain text in the YAML file poses a security risk. Consider using environment variables or a secrets manager for sensitive credentials.
Example using environment variables:
SMTP struct {
Host string `yaml:"host"`
Port int `yaml:"port"`
Username string `yaml:"username"`
Password string // Load from environment variable instead
SenderEmail string `yaml:"senderEmail"`
SenderName string `yaml:"senderName"`
} `yaml:"smtp"`Then in your initialization code, load the password from an environment variable:
cfg.SMTP.Password = os.Getenv("SMTP_PASSWORD")🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In backend/config/config.go around lines 45–52, the new SMTP struct addition
introduces potential scope creep for PR #128 and stores the SMTP password in
plain text via YAML; remove or revert this SMTP block from this PR (move it to a
dedicated feature/security PR) and, if keeping it, remove the yaml tag from the
Password field and load the password from an environment variable or secrets
manager during config initialization (do not persist secrets in the YAML file).

45-52: Scope creep and security concern remain unaddressed.The SMTP configuration block continues to:
- Add new functionality unrelated to the compilation errors described in PR #128
- Store the SMTP password in plain text via YAML, which poses a security risk
This block should be moved to a separate feature PR. For the password field, remove the

408-415: Revert to the underscore pattern for unused return values.The email is captured but never used in this function. The

18-22: PermissiveCheckOrigindisables CSRF protection for WebSocket connections
debateUpgradercurrently allows any origin:CheckOrigin: func(r *http.Request) bool { return true },This is convenient during development but effectively disables origin checks, allowing arbitrary websites to establish WS connections to your backend if they can reach it over the network.
Consider tightening this to validate against a configured list of allowed origins or at least environment‑dependent behavior (e.g., strict in prod, permissive in local dev).

websocketpackage, resolving the previous compilation error.backend/websocket/debate_spectator.go (3)
1-1: Package rename correctly aligns this file with the websocket packageSwitching from
package maintopackage websockethere is consistent with the other websocket files and avoids mixed-package compilation issues in the same directory.
188-193: Avoid concurrent writes on the same WebSocket: useSpectatorClient.WriteJSONinstead ofconn.WriteJSONin the handlerGorilla WebSocket requires all writes to a connection to be serialized. In
DebateWebsocketHandler, direct calls toconn.WriteJSONfor the initial snapshot and presence event can race with concurrent broadcasts that callclient.WriteJSON, which serializes writes viawriteMu. Sinceclient *SpectatorClientis already available, route these writes through its mutex-protected helper to ensure all writes on the connection are properly serialized:- conn.WriteJSON(snapshot) + _ = client.WriteJSON(snapshot)- conn.WriteJSON(presenceEvent) + _ = client.WriteJSON(presenceEvent)
55-99: Verify mutex locking pattern inRegisterandBroadcastPresenceThe review identifies a potential self-deadlock where
Registerholdsh.mu.Lock()and then callsh.BroadcastPresence, which attempts to acquireh.mu.RLock(). This pattern is theoretically problematic because Go'ssync.RWMutexis not re-entrant—a writer lock (Lock) held cannot wait on a reader lock (RLock) without causing deadlock.However, verification requires inspecting the actual
BroadcastPresenceimplementation to confirm it indeed callsh.mu.RLock(), and checking lines 164-186 to confirm the same pattern exists there. The repository is currently unavailable for direct inspection.The proposed fix (releasing
h.mubefore the broadcast call) is sound in principle, but cannot be validated against the actual codebase implementation.

Dead code: unreachable default assignment.

In backend/cmd/server/main.go around lines 46-50, the inner check `if redisURL

Description
This PR resolves critical compilation errors that are currently preventing the backend server from building and starting. It addresses struct naming collisions, duplicate configuration fields, and unresolved merge conflicts found in the codebase.
Note to Maintainers:
This PR focuses strictly on fixing the build. I have identified further runtime errors and areas for refactoring (such as the Gemini service logic and WebSocket handlers), but I am submitting this first to establish a stable, compilable baseline. I plan to address the remaining logic/runtime issues in subsequent PRs once this is merged.
