// Stop storing JWTs in localStorage. It exposes your app to XSS.
// Instead, set an HttpOnly cookie from your Express backend:
res.cookie('auth_token', jwtToken, {
httpOnly: true,
secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
sameSite: 'strict',

});

// but client-side JavaScript cannot access it. Your frontend is secure.
