" summary

A monolithic HDR photo app becomes CloudHdr split into 3 main service apps plus a collection of Ember frontends, implemented as Rails JSON APIs. Authentication uses OAuth flows: session‑based via server redirects with a jQuery withCredentials fix to send cookies, and a token flow prototyped but not yet deployed. Cross‑domain CORS is solved using the rack-cors gem. File uploads, single sign‑on, and small focused apps all function in production after those fixes.
