Defense-in-depth banned-country gate covering every entry point that could
set a location Feeld's policy disallows (~60 countries from their support
article):
- New src/config/bannedCountries.ts — single source of truth (ISO codes + aliases)
- New src/utils/reverseGeocode.ts — Nominatim reverse lookup w/ localStorage cache
- New src/api/links/bannedCountryLink.ts — Apollo link chokepoint; intercepts
every DeviceLocationUpdate mutation and refuses to forward if reverse-geocode
resolves to a banned country. Catches Settings, Discover, Likes scanner, and
ApiExplorer raw GraphQL alike.
- useLocation.tsx — setLocation throws BannedCountryError; saveLocation gate;
sanitize banned entries on localStorage and server hydration
- Settings.tsx — block at search, saved-location pick, and save-current
- Likes.tsx — skip banned saved locations in scanForLikes and "Fuck It" scan
- server/index.js — PUT /api/saved-locations filters; readSavedLocations
filters legacy banned entries so rotation cron is safe too
- nginx.conf — route additions for new backend endpoints
Plus the broader rc/realign-graphql-ops session work: GraphQL query/mutation
realignment after Feeld API changes, ApiExplorer updates, Profile/Discover/Likes
refinements, useFavorites hook, dataSync extensions, vite proxy adjustments.
