Whitelist & Waitlist System

When NEXT_PUBLIC_IS_ONLY_WHITELIST=true, the site operates in gated access mode:

• Waitlist Form — Users without access see a waitlist signup form
• Cloudflare Turnstile — Captcha protection against spam
• Invite Links — Users with valid /invite/<code> URLs get permanent access via cookie
• Admin Dashboard — View waitlist entries at /admin (requires SIWE signature from admin address)

Getting Started

Turnstile Test Keys (localhost):

• Site Key: 1x00000000000000000000AA
• Secret Key: 1x0000000000000000000000000000000AA

These are official Cloudflare Turnstile always-pass test keys, intended only for localhost and development. They do not provide real bot protection and must not be used in production. For production deployments, generate your own Turnstile site and secret keys from the Cloudflare dashboard and configure them via environment variables.
