## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Problem: Can't Access /admin

**Symptoms:**
- Redirects to home page
- Shows 403 Forbidden
- "Admin access required" error

**Solutions:**

1. **Check Staff Level:**
   ```javascript
   // In MongoDB
   db.users.findOne({ steamId: "YOUR_STEAM_ID" })
   // Should show: staffLevel: 3 or higher
   ```

2. **Set as Admin:**
   ```javascript
   db.users.updateOne(
     { steamId: "YOUR_STEAM_ID" },
     { $set: { staffLevel: 5 } }
   )
   ```

3. **Use Environment Variable:**
   ```bash
   # Add to .env
   ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=YOUR_STEAM_ID
   
   # IMPORTANT: Restart server after!
   npm run dev
   ```

4. **Verify Login:**
   - Make sure you're logged in via Steam
   - Check if username appears in top right
   - Try logging out and back in

### Problem: Toggles Still Look Old

**Solutions:**

1. **Clear Build Cache:**
   ```bash
   cd frontend
   rm -rf node_modules/.vite dist
   npm install
   npm run build
   ```

2. **Hard Refresh Browser:**
   - Windows/Linux: `Ctrl + Shift + R`
   - Mac: `Cmd + Shift + R`
   - Or: DevTools (F12) → Right-click refresh → Empty Cache

3. **Verify Files Exist:**
   ```bash
   ls frontend/src/components/ToggleSwitch.vue
   ls frontend/src/components/AdminDebugPanel.vue
   ```

### Problem: Debug Tests Failing

**Health Check Failed:**
- Backend is not running
- Start with: `npm run dev`

**Auth Check Failed:**
- Not logged in
- Session expired
- Log in via Steam OAuth

**Admin Config Failed:**
- User is not admin
- Check staffLevel or ADMIN_STEAM_IDS
- Restart server after changes

**Admin Routes Failed:**
- Routes not registered
- Check backend logs for errors
- Verify `/api/admin` routes exist

## 🔍 Common Questions

### Q: Do I need to rebuild every time?
**A:** Only when you update the frontend code. Changes to backend `.env` or database don't require rebuild.

### Q: What staff level do I need?
**A:** You need `staffLevel >= 3` to access admin panel, or be listed in `ADMIN_STEAM_IDS`.

### Q: Can I customize toggle colors?
**A:** Yes! Edit `frontend/src/components/ToggleSwitch.vue` and modify the gradient colors in the CSS.

### Q: Why am I still seeing old toggles?
**A:** Clear your browser cache with Ctrl+Shift+R (or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). Also ensure you rebuilt the frontend.

### Q: How do I find my Steam ID?
**A:** Check your profile in the database, or use a Steam ID finder tool online with your Steam profile URL.

### Q: Can other users see the Debug tab?
**A:** Only users with admin access (staffLevel >= 3) can see the entire admin panel, including the Debug tab.
