fix secrets no longer needed

Kept our version over remote (security hardening PR #12) for all conflicts:
- pom.xml: Spring Boot 4.0.6 vs 3.4.1, new test deps
- SecurityConfig: new csrf/package API for SB4
- GlobalExceptionHandler: full handler set with SLF4J logging
- AppUserController/ExpenseListController: clean delegation to GlobalExceptionHandler
- Test files: SB4 package paths, extra test coverage

+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Xpensely Server is a Spring Boot REST API that manages shared expense lists for pairs of users. It uses Google OAuth2 JWT tokens for authentication. All protected endpoints require a valid Bearer token in the `Authorization` header.
+
+**Base URL (local dev):** `http://localhost:8080`
+
+**Content-Type:** `application/json` for all request and response bodies.
+
+**Public endpoints (no auth required):**
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET | `/` | Health check — returns `"Welcome"` |
+| GET | `/api/version` | Returns build version and timestamp |
+| POST | `/api/users/createUser` | Register a new user |
+| GET | `/api/users/byName` | Look up a user by username |
+
+All other endpoints require authentication (see [Section 2](#2-authentication)).
+
+## 2. Authentication
+
+The server uses **OAuth2 Resource Server** authentication with **Google ID JWT tokens**.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. The client authenticates with Google and receives a Google ID JWT.
+2. Every protected API request must include this token in the header:
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <google-id-jwt>
+```
+
+3. The server validates the JWT signature and extracts the `sub` claim (Google User ID).
+4. The `sub` value is used to look up the registered `AppUser` in the database via `AuthenticatedUserResolver`.
+5. If no `AppUser` exists for that Google ID, the request is rejected with **403 Forbidden**.
+
+### Test profile
+
+When the application runs under the `test` Spring profile (`-Dspring.profiles.active=test`), **all security is disabled** — every endpoint is accessible without a token. This is used for automated tests only.
+
+### User registration flow
+
+Before a user can call any protected endpoint they must first be registered:
+
+1. Authenticate with Google to obtain a Google ID JWT.
+2. Call `POST /api/users/createUser` with the JWT's `sub` value as `googleId` and a chosen `username`.
+3. All subsequent protected calls use the same JWT — the server resolves the caller automatically.
+
+## 3. Rate Limiting
+
+All requests pass through a `RateLimitFilter` (implemented with **Bucket4j**).
+
+| Setting | Value |
+|---------|-------|
+| Limit | 60 requests per minute |
+| Window | Rolling 1-minute bucket |
+| Key (authenticated) | JWT `sub` claim (Google User ID) |
+| Key (unauthenticated) | `X-Forwarded-For` header, falling back to remote IP |
+
+When the limit is exceeded the server responds with:
+
+```
+HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
+```
+
+No `Retry-After` header is currently returned. Clients should back off and retry after 60 seconds.
+
+> **Note:** Rate limiting applies in the `!test` profile only. Tests run without rate limiting.
+
+## 4. Endpoints

+```
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |

+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|-------|------|-------|

+
+---
+
+### Expense
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 7,
+  "title": "Dinner",
+  "owner": { "id": 1, "username": "alice" },
+  "amount": 42.50,
+  "personalUseAmount": 21.25,
+  "otherPersonAmount": 21.25,
+  "category": "Food",

+| `category` | String | Category name (free text — must match a category on the list) |
+| `date` | String (ISO-8601) | `YYYY-MM-DD` |
+
+> The `expenseList` back-reference is excluded via `@JsonBackReference` to prevent circular serialisation.
+
+---
+
+### XpenselyStandardCategories
+
+A named group of standard categories assigned to every new expense list.
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": 1,
+  "categories": [
+    { "id": 1, "name": "Food", "colorCode": "#FF5733" },

+}
+```

+| `name` | String | Category label |
+| `colorCode` | String | 7-char hex string e.g. `#RRGGBB` |
+
+> The `expenseList` back-reference is excluded via `@JsonBackReference`.
+
+## 6. Error Handling
+
+All errors are returned as JSON. The `GlobalExceptionHandler` (`@RestControllerAdvice`) maps exceptions to HTTP status codes consistently across every endpoint.
+
+### Error response format
+
+Most errors:
+```json
+{
+  "error": "Human-readable message"
+}
+```
+
+Validation errors (`400`):
+```json
+{
+  "username": "size must be between 3 and 30",
+  "googleId": "must not be blank"
+}
+```
+
+### Status code reference
+
+| HTTP Status | Condition | Source |
+|-------------|-----------|--------|
+| 400 Bad Request | Input validation failed (missing/invalid fields) | `MethodArgumentNotValidException` via `@Valid` |
+| 400 Bad Request | Business rule violation (e.g. expense not in this list) | `IllegalArgumentException` |
+| 403 Forbidden | User not registered in the system | `AuthenticatedUserResolver` → `ResponseStatusException(FORBIDDEN)` |
+| 403 Forbidden | Ownership check failed (e.g. deleting someone else's list) | `ResponseStatusException(FORBIDDEN)` in controller |
+| 404 Not Found | Entity does not exist (user, list, expense) | `ResourceNotFoundException` |
+| 409 Conflict | Username already taken | `UsernameAlreadyExistsException` |
+| 429 Too Many Requests | Rate limit exceeded | `RateLimitFilter` (returned directly, not via exception handler) |
+| 500 Internal Server Error | Unexpected runtime or generic exception | `RuntimeException` / `Exception` — message is hidden from client |
+
+## 7. Recent Changes — `feature/security-hardening`
+
+This section summarises API-visible changes introduced on the `feature/security-hardening` branch (commits `3d456f2` → `b1324e3` → `8b96433` → `f0de751`). A developer or agent reading this document should be aware of these differences compared to the `main` branch.
+
+---
+
+### New: Centralised error handling (`GlobalExceptionHandler`)
+
+**File:** `src/main/java/.../controller/GlobalExceptionHandler.java`
+
+All error responses now follow the consistent JSON shape described in [Section 6](#6-error-handling). Previously, individual controllers returned ad-hoc responses, including HTTP 417 and raw stack trace output. Both have been removed. SLF4J logging has been added for server-side error visibility.
+
+---
+
+### New: `AuthenticatedUserResolver`
+
+**File:** `src/main/java/.../security/AuthenticatedUserResolver.java`
+
+A new component that extracts the Google ID from the JWT `sub` claim and resolves the corresponding `AppUser`. Injected into all protected controller methods. Returns `403 Forbidden` if the token is valid but the user has never called `POST /api/users/createUser`.
+
+---
+
+### New: `RateLimitFilter` — 60 req/min
+
+**File:** `src/main/java/.../security/RateLimitFilter.java`
+
+Rate limiting was not present on `main`. See [Section 3](#3-rate-limiting) for full details.
+
+---
+
+### New: `CreateExpenseListRequest` DTO with validation
+
+**File:** `src/main/java/.../model/CreateExpenseListRequest.java`
+
+`POST /api/expenselist/create` previously accepted a raw `ExpenseList` body. It now requires a `CreateExpenseListRequest` with a single validated `name` field (`@NotBlank`, `@Size(max=100)`). Clients must update their request body shape.
+
+---
+
+### Updated: Validation constraints tightened on existing DTOs
+
+| DTO | Field | Change |
+|-----|-------|--------|
+| `AppUserCreateRequest` | `username` | Added `@Pattern(regexp="^[a-zA-Z0-9_.\-]+$")` — special characters (other than `_`, `.`, `-`) now rejected |
+| `InviteRequest` | `inviteCode` | Added `@Size(min=6, max=6)` — non-6-char codes now rejected at binding |
+| `ExpenseInput` | `amount` | Added `@DecimalMin("0.01")` — zero and negative amounts now rejected |
+| `ExpenseChangeRequest` | `amount` | Added `@DecimalMin("0.01")` — zero and negative amounts now rejected |
+
+---
+
+### Updated: `SecurityConfig` — test-profile isolation
+
+**File:** `src/main/java/.../security/SecurityConfig.java`
+
+Two separate `SecurityFilterChain` beans now exist:
+- `@Profile("test")` — all endpoints permitted, CSRF disabled (for automated tests only).
+- `@Profile("!test")` — full JWT/OAuth2 enforcement (production behaviour).
+
+Previously a single config was used for both, which made tests fragile.
+
+---
+
+### Fixed: `ExpenseListService` — JPQL and exception consistency
+
+- Single `@Param` used in all JPQL queries (multi-param variant was broken).
+- `ResourceNotFoundException` is now thrown consistently instead of returning `null` or a generic `RuntimeException`.
+- `addExpenseToList` delegates directly to `ExpenseList.addExpense()` rather than looping.
+
+---
+
+### Fixed: `UserService` — null returns replaced with exceptions
+
+All not-found paths in `UserService` now throw `ResourceNotFoundException` instead of returning `null`. Callers that previously needed to null-check responses will now receive a `404` response.
