- Added 'react-bootstrap' to frontend dependencies for improved UI components.
- Updated bid placement mechanics: backend now stores bids as a list of {user, amount}; frontend displays live bid leaderboard, including highest bid.
- Implemented bid placement form and UI in participant draft screen.
- Used React-Bootstrap Collapse for nominee menu accordion behavior.
- Expanded DraftStateManager and websocket consumers to broadcast bid updates in the new format.
- Added missing 'bids' syncing to all relevant state handling code.
- Improved styling for bidding, panel headers, and pick lists in SCSS; leveraged Bootstrap variables/utilities more extensively.
- Other minor JS, Python, and style tweaks for better stability and robustness.
- Replaced scattered message strings with `DraftMessage` `StrEnum` and
numeric `DraftPhase` `IntEnum` for clear, centralized definitions.
- Added Python→JS constants sync via `scripts/generate_js_constants.py`
to ensure backend/frontend parity.
- Refactored WebSocket consumers to use `broadcast.*` and
`direct.message` handlers with `_dispatch_broadcast` for consistent
event delivery.
- Enhanced `DraftStateManager` to store `draft_index` and explicitly
manage `connected_participants`.
- Added colored logging config in settings for improved debugging.
- Frontend: split UI into `ParticipantList` and `DraftMoviePool`,
extracted message handlers (`handleDraftStatusMessages`,
`handleUserIdentifyMessages`), and updated components to use new
message/phase enums.
- Created new `api` Django app with serializers, viewsets, and routers
to expose draft sessions, participants, and movie data.
- Registered `api` app in settings and updated root URL configuration.
- Extended WebSocket consumers with `inform.draft_status` /
`request.draft_status` to allow fetching current draft state.
- Updated `DraftSession` and related models to support reverse lookups
for draft picks.
- Enhanced draft state manager to include `draft_order` in summaries.
- Added React WebSocket context provider, connection status component,
and new admin/participant panels with phase and participant tracking.
- Updated SCSS for participant lists, phase indicators, and status badges.
- Modified Django templates to mount new React roots for admin and
participant views.
- Updated Webpack dev server config to proxy WebSocket connections.
