Introduces a new authentication flow for the host, requiring a password to access host-specific features. This commit also adds a dedicated settings section within the host view, allowing administrators to configure essential application parameters such as the API key for AI question generation and the join URL for players.
The backend has been updated to include a new `settings` table in the database to persist these configurations. The Gemini service is refactored to accept the API key as a parameter, enhancing flexibility and security. UI components like `HostView` and `App.tsx` are modified to integrate the new authentication and settings management functionalities.
Key changes include:
- Password-based authentication for host access.
- A new settings interface for API key and join URL management.
- Database schema update with a `settings` table.
- Refactoring `geminiService` to accept API key.
- UI adjustments for login and settings screens.
Adds a dynamic join URL and QR code displayed on the spectator view and host dashboard. This allows players to easily join the quiz session by scanning the QR code or navigating to the provided URL.
The `joinUrl` is now managed within the `GameContext` and exposed to relevant components. The spectator view uses this URL to generate the QR code, while the host view displays it for easy access. This enhances the onboarding experience for new players and simplifies session management.
