+
+## 🎯 What Was Delivered
+
+### Security Fix: JWT Signature Verification Vulnerability (GHSA-223g-f5mq-gw33)
+
+#### The Vulnerability

+## 🔥 What Was Fixed (The npm Error)
+
+### The Error
+```
+npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
+npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "link:": link:@/components/ui/badge
+```
+
+### The Root Cause
+`package.json` had local development dependencies that only work in monorepo/development:
+```json
+❌ "badge": "link:@/components/ui/badge",
+❌ "button": "link:@/components/ui/button",
+❌ "card": "link:@/components/ui/card",
+❌ "progress": "link:@/components/ui/progress",
+❌ "separator": "link:@/components/ui/separator"
+```
+
+### The Fix Applied
+Removed all `link:` dependencies from `frontend/package.json`.
+These are internal component references only needed during development.
+
+## 🚀 Ready to Publish
+
+### Current Status
+- ✅ Security fix complete
+- ✅ Version bumped to 2.0.4
+- ✅ Package.json cleaned (no link: dependencies)
