🔧 Critical Fixes Applied

Fix #1: Datetime Deprecation Warning

Problem: Python 3.13+ deprecated datetime.utcnow()
Solution:

  • Added get_utc_now() helper function
  • Replaced all 19 occurrences of datetime.utcnow() with get_utc_now()
  • Imported timezone from datetime module
  • Result: ✅ No deprecation warnings on health endpoint

Fix #2: Enhanced Notes PDF Styling

Problem: Basic color scheme lacked visual appeal
Solution:

  • Expanded color palette from 5 to 8 vibrant colors
  • Added alternating line backgrounds for readability
  • Implemented bullet points (●) for visual structure
  • Added rotating header background colors per page
  • Improved typography with better spacing
  • Added page numbers and footer
  • Result: ✅ Professional, visually appealing study notes

Fix #3: 3D Model Fallback Chain

Already Verified: Previous session implemented CDN fallback chain

  • Primary: KhronosGroup CDN models (fast loading)
  • Secondary: Local /static/models/demo*.glb files
  • Tertiary: Three.js generated geometry shapes

Fix #4: AI Generation Triple Fallback

Already Verified: Previous session implemented robust fallback

  • Level 1: Selected provider (Gemini or OpenRouter)
