Implement dynamic site appearance configuration system

This commit implements a comprehensive database-driven site configuration system that allows administrators to control the visibility and behavior of homepage elements, navigation links, footer sections, and route availability without code changes. Backend Changes: - Added SiteConfiguration model with singleton pattern (id=1) - Created migration 38_add_site_configuration_table.py - Implemented site_configuration_routes.py with public + admin endpoints - Added Pydantic schemas for validation (Base, Update, Read, Public) - Registered routes in main app Frontend Changes: - Created SiteConfigContext.tsx for global state management - Updated app/layout.tsx to wrap app in SiteConfigProvider - Implemented RouteGuard component for disabled routes - Updated navbar with conditional rendering (pricing, docs, github, signin) - Updated hero-section with conditional buttons (get started, talk to us) - Updated footer with conditional sections and custom copyright - Applied route guards to pricing, contact, terms, privacy pages Admin Panel: - Created /dashboard/site-settings page with full UI - Visual toggle switches for all configuration options - Real-time updates via API with toast notifications - Organized by section (Header, Homepage, Footer, Routes, Text) - Dark mode support and responsive design Configuration Options: Header: show_pricing_link, show_docs_link, show_github_link, show_sign_in Homepage: show_get_started_button, show_talk_to_us_button Footer: show_pages_section, show_legal_section, show_register_section Routes: disable_pricing/docs/contact/terms/privacy_route Custom: custom_copyright text (max 200 chars) Security: - Superuser-only admin endpoints with JWT validation - Public read-only endpoint for frontend consumption - Input validation via Pydantic schemas - Singleton pattern with database constraints - Client-side route guards for disabled routes Documentation: - Added comprehensive section to claude.md - Includes API docs, migration guide, testing checklist - Example code snippets and configuration tables - Security considerations and future enhancements All configuration defaults to minimal/privacy-focused state (most features disabled by default). Administrators can enable features as needed via the admin panel. Files Changed: 16 files (6 backend, 10 frontend, 1 documentation)

+## Site Configuration System
+
+**Implementation Date:** 2025-11-18
+**Implemented By:** Claude AI Assistant (Anthropic Sonnet 4.5)
+**Feature:** Dynamic Site Appearance Configuration
+
+### Overview
+
+The site configuration system provides administrators with a centralized, database-driven approach to control the visibility and behavior of homepage elements, navigation links, footer sections, and route availability. This eliminates hardcoded UI elements and enables runtime customization without code changes.
+
+### Architecture
+
+**Backend Stack:**
+- **Database:** PostgreSQL singleton pattern (single row with id=1)
+- **ORM:** SQLAlchemy with AsyncSession
+- **Migration:** Alembic migration #38
+- **API Framework:** FastAPI with Pydantic validation
+- **Access Control:** Superuser-only admin endpoints, public read endpoint
+
+**Frontend Stack:**
+- **State Management:** React Context API (SiteConfigContext)
+- **UI Framework:** Next.js 15.5.6 App Router
+- **Conditional Rendering:** Client-side based on configuration
+- **Route Guards:** RouteGuard component for disabled routes
+
+### Database Schema
+
+**Table:** `site_configuration` (singleton - only 1 row)
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE site_configuration (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,  -- Always 1 (singleton)
+
+    -- Header/Navbar toggles
+    show_pricing_link BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+    show_docs_link BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+    show_github_link BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+    show_sign_in BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
+
+    -- Homepage toggles
+    show_get_started_button BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+    show_talk_to_us_button BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+
+    -- Footer toggles
+    show_pages_section BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+    show_legal_section BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+    show_register_section BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
+
+    -- Route disabling
+    disable_pricing_route BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
+    disable_docs_route BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
+    disable_contact_route BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
+    disable_terms_route BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
+    disable_privacy_route BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
+
+    -- Custom text
+    custom_copyright VARCHAR(200) DEFAULT 'SurfSense 2025',
+
+    CONSTRAINT check_singleton CHECK (id = 1)
+);
+```
+
+**Migration:** `surfsense_backend/alembic/versions/38_add_site_configuration_table.py`
+
+### API Endpoints
+
+#### 1. Public Configuration (Unauthenticated)
+
+```http
+GET /api/v1/site-config/public
+```
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "show_pricing_link": false,
+  "show_docs_link": false,
+  "show_github_link": false,
+  "show_sign_in": true,
+  "show_get_started_button": false,
+  "show_talk_to_us_button": false,
+  "show_pages_section": false,
+  "show_legal_section": false,
+  "show_register_section": false,
+  "disable_pricing_route": true,
+  "disable_docs_route": true,
+  "disable_contact_route": true,
+  "disable_terms_route": true,
+  "disable_privacy_route": true,
+  "custom_copyright": "SurfSense 2025"
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Admin Configuration (Superuser Only)
+
+```http
+GET /api/v1/site-config
+Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>
+```
+
+**Response:** Same as public endpoint
+
+#### 3. Update Configuration (Superuser Only)
+
+```http
+PUT /api/v1/site-config
+Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "show_pricing_link": true,
+  "custom_copyright": "© MyCompany 2025"
+}
+```
+
+**Response:** Updated configuration object
+
+### Frontend Integration
+
+#### 1. Global Context
+
+**File:** `surfsense_web/contexts/SiteConfigContext.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+const { config, isLoading, error, refetch } = useSiteConfig();
+
+// Access any configuration value
+const showPricing = config.show_pricing_link;
+const copyright = config.custom_copyright;
+```
+
+**Initialization:** Wrapped in `app/layout.tsx` for global availability
+
+#### 2. Conditional Rendering Examples
+
+**Navbar** (`components/homepage/navbar.tsx`):
+```tsx
+{config.show_pricing_link && !config.disable_pricing_route && (
+  <Link href="/pricing">Pricing</Link>
+)}
+
+{config.show_github_link && (
+  <Link href="https://github.com/okapteinis/SurfSense">
+    <IconBrandGithub />
+  </Link>
+)}
+```
+
+**Homepage Hero** (`components/homepage/hero-section.tsx`):
+```tsx
+{config.show_get_started_button && (
+  <Link href="/register" className="btn-primary">
+    Get Started
+  </Link>
+)}
+```
+
+**Footer** (`components/homepage/footer.tsx`):
+```tsx
+<p>&copy; {config.custom_copyright || "SurfSense 2025"}</p>
+
+{config.show_legal_section && (
+  <div>
+    {!config.disable_terms_route && <Link href="/terms">Terms</Link>}
+    {!config.disable_privacy_route && <Link href="/privacy">Privacy</Link>}
+  </div>
+)}
+```
+
+#### 3. Route Guarding
+
+**File:** `components/RouteGuard.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+<RouteGuard routeKey="pricing">
+  <PricingPage />
+</RouteGuard>
+```
+
+**Protected Routes:**
+- `/pricing` → checks `disable_pricing_route`
+- `/contact` → checks `disable_contact_route`
+- `/terms` → checks `disable_terms_route`
+- `/privacy` → checks `disable_privacy_route`
+
+**Behavior:** Redirects to `/404` if route is disabled
+
+### Admin Panel
+
+**Location:** `/dashboard/site-settings`
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ Visual toggle switches for all boolean flags
+- ✅ Text input for custom copyright
+- ✅ Real-time updates via API
+- ✅ Organized by section (Header, Homepage, Footer, Routes, Custom Text)
+- ✅ Descriptions for each toggle
+- ✅ Save button with loading state
+- ✅ Toast notifications for success/error
+
+**Access Control:** Requires superuser authentication (JWT token)
+
+**UI Components:**
+- Custom ToggleSwitch component with animated transitions
+- Gradient save button matching brand colors
+- Dark mode support
+- Responsive design (mobile-friendly)
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+#### Header & Navigation
+| Toggle | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `show_pricing_link` | Show pricing link in navbar | `false` |
+| `show_docs_link` | Show docs link in navbar | `false` |
+| `show_github_link` | Show GitHub icon in navbar | `false` |
+| `show_sign_in` | Show sign in button | `true` |
+
+#### Homepage Buttons
+| Toggle | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `show_get_started_button` | Show "Get Started" CTA button | `false` |
+| `show_talk_to_us_button` | Show "Talk to Us" CTA button | `false` |
+
+#### Footer Sections
+| Toggle | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `show_pages_section` | Show pages section (Pricing, Docs, Contact) | `false` |
+| `show_legal_section` | Show legal section (Terms, Privacy) | `false` |
+| `show_register_section` | Show register section (Sign Up, Sign In) | `false` |
+
+#### Route Disabling
+| Toggle | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `disable_pricing_route` | Disable /pricing route (404) | `true` |
+| `disable_docs_route` | Disable /docs route (404) | `true` |
+| `disable_contact_route` | Disable /contact route (404) | `true` |
+| `disable_terms_route` | Disable /terms route (404) | `true` |
+| `disable_privacy_route` | Disable /privacy route (404) | `true` |
+
+#### Custom Text
+| Field | Description | Default |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `custom_copyright` | Footer copyright text (max 200 chars) | `"SurfSense 2025"` |
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+1. **Access Control:**
+   - Admin endpoints require `is_superuser = true`
+   - Public endpoint is read-only and unauthenticated
+   - JWT token validation on all admin operations
+
+2. **Input Validation:**
+   - Pydantic schemas enforce data types
+   - String length limits (copyright max 200 chars)
+   - Boolean validation for all toggles
+
+3. **Singleton Pattern:**
+   - Database constraint ensures only 1 configuration row
+   - `get_or_create_config()` helper prevents missing config
+   - Atomic updates via SQLAlchemy transactions
+
+4. **Client-Side Security:**
+   - Configuration fetched at app startup
+   - No sensitive data exposed (public-facing settings only)
+   - RouteGuard prevents access to disabled routes
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+#### Step 1: Apply Database Migration
+
+```bash
+cd surfsense_backend
+alembic upgrade head
+```
+
+This creates the `site_configuration` table and inserts the default row.
+
+#### Step 2: Verify Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Check that singleton row exists
+psql -d surfsense -c "SELECT * FROM site_configuration WHERE id = 1;"
+```
+
+#### Step 3: Access Admin Panel
+
+1. Log in as superuser
+2. Navigate to `/dashboard/site-settings`
+3. Configure toggles as desired
+4. Click "Save Configuration"
+
+#### Step 4: Verify Frontend Changes
+
+1. Visit homepage at `/`
+2. Check navbar for conditional links
+3. Check footer for conditional sections
+4. Test disabled routes (should show 404)
+

+surfsense_web/app/dashboard/site-settings/page.tsx               # Admin UI
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **No Code Deployments:** Site appearance changes without code changes
+2. **Self-Service:** Administrators manage UI without developer intervention
+3. **Branding Flexibility:** Custom copyright text for white-label deployments
+4. **Privacy-Focused:** Disable routes/features you don't need
+5. **Minimal UI:** Default configuration hides all non-essential elements
+6. **Type Safety:** Full TypeScript support with validated schemas
+7. **Performance:** Configuration cached in React context (no repeated API calls)
+8. **Scalability:** Singleton pattern ensures consistent state across all users
+
+### Future Enhancements
+
+**Potential additions (not yet implemented):**
+- Multi-tenant configurations (per-user or per-organization)
+- Custom navigation links (dynamic menu items)
+- Theme color customization
+- Logo upload and management
+- Custom homepage headline/tagline
+- Feature flag management for experimental features
+- Analytics opt-out configuration
+- GDPR compliance toggles
+
+### Comparison to Previous Approach
+
+**Before (Hardcoded):**
+- UI elements always visible
+- Changes required code modifications
+- No runtime customization
+- Developer-only control
+
+**After (Database-Driven):**
+- UI elements conditionally rendered
+- Changes via admin panel
+- Runtime customization
+- Self-service for admins
+
+### Support
+
+For questions or issues related to site configuration:
+- Review API documentation: `surfsense_backend/app/routes/site_configuration_routes.py`
+- Check schema definitions: `surfsense_backend/app/schemas/site_configuration.py`
+- Examine frontend context: `surfsense_web/contexts/SiteConfigContext.tsx`
+- Access admin panel: `/dashboard/site-settings`
