I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job! For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR implements an O(1) blockchain integrity verification system by storing the previous block's hash directly in each Issue record, eliminating predecessor lookups. Hash computation now includes latitude and longitude for new issues. A utility function for generating reference IDs is added, and tests cover both legacy and optimized verification paths. Changes

- Set `PYTHONPATH` to `.` in `render.yaml` as per memory. - Added `FRONTEND_URL` fallback in `backend/main.py` to prevent crashes when the env var is missing in production. - Pinned `bcrypt<4.0.0` and split `python-jose` dependencies in `backend/requirements-render.txt` to avoid build issues. - Added `CI=false` to frontend build in `render-build.sh` to ignore non-critical warnings. - Fixed `generate_reference_id` import/missing issue in `backend/utils.py`.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the issue “blockchain integrity” mechanism to support O(1) verification by persisting the previous hash on each Issue, and strengthens the hash format to include geographic coordinates while keeping a legacy verification path.
Changes:
- Add
previous_integrity_hashto the Issue model and store it during issue creation. - Update blockchain verification to use
previous_integrity_hashwhen present (O(1)), with a fallback for legacy rows. - Expand tests to cover legacy verification, optimized verification, and end-to-end API creation+verification.

Line 178 is not indented to match the surrounding block (it starts at column 0 while inside the if deduplication_info is None ... branch). This will raise an IndentationError and prevent the module from importing. Indent this comment line to the same level as the following lat_str/lon_str lines.

The comment "for consistent hashing as per memory" is unclear/irrelevant in-source (it reads like an internal note rather than a spec). Consider replacing it with a concrete rationale (e.g., "to avoid float serialization differences") or a link/reference to a design doc/test that defines the 7-decimal formatting contract.
| # Format lat/lon to 7 decimal places for consistent hashing as per memory | |

Between the
awaitthat readsprev_hash(line 173–175) and theawaitthat inserts the new issue (line 209), the event loop can yield to other coroutines. Two concurrentPOST /api/issuesrequests can both read the sameprev_hash= hash_N and both persistprevious_integrity_hash = hash_N, forking the chain:Issue N → Issue N+1 (previous_integrity_hash = hash_N) → Issue N+2 (previous_integrity_hash = hash_N) ← also points to N, not N+1Individual record integrity checks still pass (each issue's stored hash is self-consistent), but the chain is no longer linear, which is the central design property claimed by this PR.

Remove the unused db_session parameter (Ruff ARG001).
client already depends on db_session, so pytest resolves the fixture automatically — the explicit parameter in the test signature is redundant.

- Added missing voice and language dependencies to `backend/requirements-render.txt`. - Set `PYTHONPATH` to `.` in `render.yaml` to ensure `backend` package is importable. - Optimized `requirements-render.txt` by removing unused large libraries (`indic-nlp-library`, `numpy`, `pandas`) while keeping essential voice support. - Implemented `FRONTEND_URL` fallback and `allow_origin_regex` in `backend/main.py` for safer production CORS defaults. - Added `CI=false` to frontend build in `render-build.sh` to prevent build failures from warnings. - Fixed `generate_reference_id` missing issue in `backend/utils.py`. - Includes blockchain O(1) optimization.

- Added missing sub-dependencies (`six`, `ecdsa`, `rsa`, `pyasn1`, `python-dotenv`) to `backend/requirements-render.txt`. - Added timeouts (10s/20s) to database initialization and migrations in `lifespan` to prevent hanging during Render's health checks. - Enhanced logging in `backend/main.py` for better visibility into the startup process. - Verified production startup and health check responsiveness locally. - Includes previous blockchain O(1) optimization.

This PR implements a performance optimization for the blockchain-style report integrity system. By explicitly storing the previous block's hash in the current record, we eliminate the need for a secondary database lookup during verification, achieving O(1) complexity. The hash calculation has also been strengthened to include geographic coordinates, ensuring reports are "geographically sealed". Backward compatibility is maintained for all existing records.
