Dorian 8d56fe392d refactor: update environment configuration and documentation
- Modified `.env.example` to reflect new API URL structure and added CDN configuration for external storage.
- Updated `.gitignore` to include deployment secrets and certificate files, ensuring sensitive information is not committed.
- Revised `BACKEND_INTEGRATION.md` to clarify authentication methods, replacing Cognito references with Nostr NIP-98.
- Deleted outdated documentation files (`CONTENT-INTEGRATION-COMPLETE.md`, `CURSOR-MCP-SETUP.md`, `FINAL-STATUS.md`, `FIXES-APPLIED.md`, `INDEEHHUB-INTEGRATION.md`, `PROJECT-COMPLETE.md`, `PROJECT-SUMMARY.md`) to streamline project documentation.

These changes enhance the clarity of the environment setup and improve the overall documentation structure for better developer onboarding.

# Development Mode Authentication
When running `npm run dev` without a backend, the app uses **mock authentication** so you can test the full UI flow.
## What Works (Without Backend)
### Nostr Login (Mock)
- Click "Remote Signer" or "Extension" or "Private Key"
- Extension: requires a Nostr browser extension (Alby, nos2x)
- Remote Signer: shows QR/link; mock flow completes without real signer
- Private Key: paste nsec; creates mock session
- Sovereign Identity: generates keypair and mocks login
### Email/Password (Legacy Form)
- The auth form triggers the "Sovereign Identity" flow by default
- After dismissing, any email/password creates a mock user
- Stored in sessionStorage
## With Real Backend
1. Start backend: `cd backend && npm run start:dev` (or use `bash scripts/dev.sh`)
2. Set `VITE_USE_MOCK_DATA=false` and `VITE_INDEEHUB_API_URL=/api` in `.env`
3. Restart frontend: `npm run dev`
Real auth uses Nostr (NIP-98) and issues JWTs from the backend. No Cognito.
## Session Storage
Mock sessions use `sessionStorage`:
- `nostr_token` — Nostr session JWT (mock or real)
- `indeehub_api_refresh` — refresh token for API
Refresh keeps you logged in until the tab is closed.
