Ensure freshly generated admin passwords are actually applied on reinstall and make CSRF handling more robust. Install scripts (Docker, POSH, sh) now remove stale auth.db from the console_data/data volume or data dir and create a .force_password_update sentinel (Docker also sets FORCE_PASSWORD_UPDATE=true) so the Node.js console will force-update the admin password. web-nodejs/services/authService.js adds checkForcePasswordUpdate() (env var or sentinel) and will forcibly update the admin bcrypt hash when requested; sentinel files are removed after detection. CSRF middleware now only generates tokens for safe methods (GET/HEAD/OPTIONS), avoids interfering with state-changing requests, and clears corrupt cookies using consistent options (httpOnly, sameSite: 'lax', secure based on config) to prevent spurious 403s. server.js mounts rustdeskApiRoutes before CSRF so bearer-token desktop clients are not blocked by cookie-based CSRF. Also unified the health check path from /api/health to /health in diagnostics checks and added required fs/path imports.

Rework password reset flow and diagnostics: change reset-password.js argument order (password first, optional username) and update Docker/CLI scripts to call it accordingly; persist DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD to .env and restart betterdesk-console after resets to avoid overwrites. Add translations for an "invalid_credentials" message across supported locales. Harden reset-password.js with a bcrypt self-test, log hash info, and add additional data directory candidates. Enhance authService with detailed auth/logging (hash type, failures/success), safer admin-hash migration logic (avoid overwriting if admin has logged in), and self-tests when creating/updating admin password hashes to detect/retry corrupted hashes.

Add PostgreSQL support for the web console password reset and install scripts, and improve cross-language auth handling.
Key changes:
- Introduce a unified reset-password.js that supports SQLite and PostgreSQL (reads DB_TYPE / DATABASE_URL) and make shell/PowerShell/Docker helpers prefer it with fallbacks.
- Update betterdesk-server to load an API key from API_KEY or .api_key (key/db dirs) and sync it into the database so Go server and Node console share the same key.
- Adjust docker-compose default command to run the all-in-one mode and point at the bundled DB/key paths.
- Improve dashboard health checks to avoid raw TCP probes in single-binary BetterDesk mode and derive signal/relay status from the API health; allow /api/currentUser to accept POST as well as GET.
- Enhance authService to recognize Go-style PBKDF2 hashes, verify them, auto-migrate verified PBKDF2 hashes to bcrypt, and migrate default admin if needed.
These changes improve interoperability between the Go server and Node console (shared API key and DB modes), add Postgres support for admin tooling, and provide a smooth auth migration path from the Go server's hashing scheme to bcrypt.

Convert many Express route handlers and helper functions to async and await database calls (e.g. getAccessToken, touchAccessToken, getPeerById, getDevice, getPeerSysinfo, upsertPeerSysinfo, logAction, insertAudit*, getAll*/count* etc.). Also made identifyDevice and several route callbacks async, adjusted session.regenerate callback to use async logging, and replaced db.getDatabase() usage with db.getDb() where applicable. These changes ensure DB operations complete before responding and reduce race conditions/unhandled-promise behavior across numerous route files (activity, auth, automation, bd-api, devices, folders, i18n, inventory, registration, remote, rustdesk-api, and related route handlers).

Add a new betterdesk-server Go codebase (server, api, auth, db, relay, signal, metrics, audit, ratelimit, proto, tools, tests) and related deployment/migration scripts. Add a comprehensive SECURITY_AUDIT_2026-03-01 report and .gitattributes; update copilot-instructions (ALL-IN-ONE v2.4.0), README, VERSION, Dockerfiles, scripts, docker-compose and entrypoint. Large updates to web-nodejs (translations, routes, services, frontend assets and middleware) and numerous new utilities; remove legacy Flask web files and archive hbbs-patch-v2 artifacts. Prepares repository for PostgreSQL support, DB migration tooling and the new Go server as the production backend.
Bump to v2.3.0 and switch to Node.js web console as the primary console (Flask deprecated). Add comprehensive security and feature updates: CSRF protection, session-fixation prevention, timing-safe auth, WebSocket auth, TOTP 2FA, operator/admin roles, address-book sync, desktop connect (URI handler), and SSL certificate configuration in installers. Introduce a dedicated RustDesk Client API (WAN port 21121) and related web-nodejs middleware, routes, views, protos, and client JS (rdclient) plus vendor libs. Add developer tooling and scripts (dev_modules), update hbbs-patch-v2 Rust sources, README and changelog/docs, and ignore Node.js artifacts in .gitignore.
Introduce a new Node.js-based web console (Express + EJS + better-sqlite3) under web-nodejs/ and add installer support to choose between Node.js and the legacy Flask console. Update interactive ALL-IN-ONE installers (betterdesk.sh, betterdesk.ps1) with flags/options for --nodejs/--flask, automatic Node.js installation, migration logic, enhanced service handling and diagnostics. Bump VERSION to 2.2.0 and update README and project docs (.github/copilot-instructions.md) to reflect the new console, usage examples, and Docker/docs changes. Many new web-nodejs files and supporting middleware/services/routes/views/static assets were added to support the new console.
