Implements a "Remember Me" option that allows users to stay logged in for 30 days instead of the default 24 hours. This addresses the pain point of frequent re-authentication in LAN-only environments while maintaining authentication security. Backend changes: - Add rememberMe field to login request handling - Support variable session durations (24h default, 30d with Remember Me) - Implement sliding session expiration that extends sessions on each authenticated request using the original duration - Store OriginalDuration in session data for proper sliding window - Update session cookie MaxAge to match session duration Frontend changes: - Add "Remember Me for 30 days" checkbox to login form - Pass rememberMe flag in login request - Improve UI with clear duration indication Key features: - Sessions extend automatically on each request (sliding window) - Original duration preserved across session extension - Backward compatible with existing sessions (legacy sessions work) - Sessions persist across server restarts This provides a better user experience for LAN deployments without compromising security by completely disabling authentication.

Important Note About frontend-modern/
The frontend-modern/ subdirectory that appears here is:
- AUTO-GENERATED during builds
- NOT the source code - just a build artifact
- IN .gitignore - never committed
- REQUIRED BY GO - The embed directive needs it here
Frontend Development Location
👉 Edit frontend files at: /opt/pulse/frontend-modern/src/
Why This Structure?
Go's //go:embed directive has limitations:
- Cannot use
../paths to access parent directories - Cannot follow symbolic links
- Must embed files within the Go module
This is a known Go limitation and our structure works around it.
