Each heart used to take 24 hours, so a student who lost all five waited up to
five days. Now one heart returns every 5 hours, and 24 hours after the first
heart was lost they all come back at once (the owner's call). /api/user/hearts
reports both times (nextRefillAt, fullRefillAt); an existing timer longer than
5 hours is shortened the first time it is read.

Found in a deeper pass over what the frontend's flow actually touches:
- Nothing in the app ever wrote StreakRecord: "days in a row" was 0 forever
for every real user. Answers and lesson/island completions now record the
day (Tehran time); a broken chain shows 0. A streak error never fails the
answer itself.
- /api/leaderboard only changed when someone ran rebuild_leaderboard by
hand. It is now computed live (60s cache); weekly counts island XP too.
- gunicorn ran 3 sync workers with a 30s timeout, so every "ask Pi" stream
pinned a whole worker (~10s, GapGPT buffers the answer) and three at once
queued the entire API. gunicorn.conf.py (read automatically from the
working directory) switches to gthread, 8 threads, 120s timeout.
- Every /api/ response now says Cache-Control: private, no-store, so turning
on caching in the ArvanCloud panel can never serve one student another's data.
- /api/user/summary named no active plan ever ("subscription app not
implemented yet" had long stopped being true).

New progress.Character model: an admin-managed catalog (same pattern as
subscription.Plan) of selectable mascots, each unlocked once the user's
XP crosses unlock_xp. No separate ownership table yet — unlocking is a
pure function of UserStats.xp, kept intentionally minimal since this is
the first of an incremental rollout the senior asked for.
- GET /api/characters — catalog with per-user unlocked/selected flags
- POST /api/characters/select — picks an active character, rejecting
ones the user hasn't unlocked yet
- UserStats.selected_character_id tracks the pick
- seed_test_data now seeds 4 sample characters (owl/fox/turtle/lion)
for local/staging testing

next_refill_at was set on UserHearts but never read or recalculated,
so a heart lost to zero never came back. UserHearts.apply_regen() now
catches up missed 24h intervals on read/deduct, and lose_heart() starts
the timer only when it isn't already running.
Any user with an active (non-expired) subscription now skips heart
deduction entirely, regardless of which plan they're on — good enough
for now until per-plan perks are needed.

progress/views.py
- GuestAwareReadThrottle (same guest-by-IP pattern as the other apps);
throttle_scope='read' on UserSummaryView, StreakCalendarView,
LeaderboardView.
notifications/views.py
- GuestAwareReadThrottle + throttle_scope='read' on NotificationListView.
- list capped at NOTIFICATIONS_MAX=100 newest (Meta.ordering already
newest-first); unreadCount still counted over the full set.
notifications/tests.py
- 150 rows -> 100 returned newest-first, unreadCount = 75.
rag/views.py
- ChunkListView: explicit order_by('-id') before the existing [:200] cap.
ai_tutor/views.py
- ConversationMessagesView: return the newest 200 messages in
chronological order instead of the whole conversation.
