This addresses the remaining test failures @jasnow reported in issue #486.
Fixes:
1. Ambiguous Login button - Changed from click_button "Login" to
find("input[type='submit'][value='Login']").click to specifically
target the form submit button and avoid the header Login button
2. Fixed password_complexity_spec field names:
- user_email → email
- user_first_name → first_name
- user_last_name → last_name
- user_password → password
- user_password_confirmation → password_confirmation
- Submit → Create Account (correct button text)
3. Applied same selector fix to login helper in capybara_shared.rb
These changes complete the test suite fixes for the new UI that was
introduced in the file upload UX improvements.

Instead of maintaining a duplicate list of vulnerabilities in the README,
point users to the wiki where the complete and authoritative list exists
with full tutorials and explanations.
This keeps the wiki as the single source of truth for vulnerability

This comprehensive README update improves the documentation structure,
updates outdated information, and provides a clearer learning path for users.
Key improvements:
- Added OWASP Flagship badge and clearer project description
- Created "What is RailsGoat?" section explaining the educational purpose
- Added comprehensive "Vulnerabilities Included" section listing all 11+ vulnerabilities
- Restructured "Quick Start" with numbered steps and clearer prerequisites
- Added "Learning Path" section with 3-step approach (tests → explore → wiki)
- Updated all outdated technical information:
* Rails 8.0 with Ruby 3.3.6 (was "3 to 6")
* Removed references to deprecated Thin, PhantomJS, and Poltergeist
* Updated Docker instructions (removed outdated docker-machine references)
* Corrected Rails version branches (added rails_5, updated main to Rails 8)
- Reorganized content flow: what → why → how → learn → advanced → contribute
- Moved "Support" to bottom with expanded help resources
- Simplified Docker and MySQL sections under "Advanced Configuration"
- Added security warning footer about not deploying publicly
- Improved formatting with bold headings and better code block examples
The new structure guides users from understanding what RailsGoat is,
through installation, to actively learning from the vulnerabilities.

The password_hashing_spec was using 'pending unless verifying_fixed?' which caused
confusing output in maintainer mode:
- Before: "1 example, 0 failures, 1 pending" with "(compared using ==)" message
- After: "1 example, 0 failures" - clean output
The spec now uses conditional expectations:
- Training mode: expects password is NOT MD5 hashed (test fails, vulnerability exists)
- Maintainer mode: expects password IS MD5 hashed (test passes, verifies vulnerability)
This addresses the "(compared using ==)" error message that @jasnow reported in issue #486.
Related to #486
Fixes test suite to run cleanly across different platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows)
after the Rails 5→8 upgrade and UI/UX overhaul.
## Issues Fixed
1. **Firefox/Selenium driver errors**: Removed deprecated Poltergeist/PhantomJS
configuration and properly configured Selenium with headless Chrome. This
works across all platforms without requiring Firefox.
2. **CSS selector errors** ('Unable to find css ".signup"'): The UI/UX overhaul
removed the .signup CSS class. Updated the login helper to work with the
new login form structure.
3. **Ambiguous Login button**: The new UI has both a Login button and Login link.
Changed from `click_on "Login"` to `click_button "Login"` to be specific.
4. **Deprecation warning**: Opted into Rails 8.1 behavior for to_time timezone
preservation to eliminate deprecation warnings.
## Changes
- spec/support/capybara_shared.rb:
* Removed deprecated Poltergeist/PhantomJS configuration
* Configured Selenium with headless Chrome
* Updated login helper to work with new UI (removed .signup/.actions selectors)
* Changed click_on to click_button for specificity
- spec/spec_helper.rb:
* Removed conflicting Capybara.javascript_driver override that was forcing
selenium_headless (which tried to use Firefox)
- config/application.rb:
* Added config.active_support.to_time_preserves_timezone = :zone to opt into
Rails 8.1 behavior and eliminate deprecation warning
## Test Results
Before: 43 failures (driver errors, CSS selector errors)
After: 46 examples, 0 failures, 14 pending ✅
The 14 pending specs are expected - they verify vulnerabilities still exist.
## Platform Requirements
JavaScript tests now require Chrome/Chromium to be installed:
- macOS: Chrome is usually installed
- Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install chromium-browser chromium-chromedriver`
- Windows: Chrome is usually installed

Changed flash message handling to ensure success and error messages
are visible to users after file upload attempts.
Changes:
- Use flash.now for validation errors (no file, wrong type, too large)
so messages display immediately without redirect
- Re-render index page on validation errors instead of redirecting
- Keep regular flash for success messages to persist through redirect
- Refactored file listing into load_uploaded_files helper method
Before: Flash messages were set but not displaying after redirect
After: Users see clear feedback for all upload outcomes

Enhanced the benefit forms file upload functionality to provide better
user feedback and visibility of uploaded files.
Changes:
1. Added file type validation in controller:
- Only accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPG, PNG formats
- Shows clear error message with the rejected file extension
2. Added file size validation:
- Maximum 10MB file size limit
- Shows file size in error message if exceeded
3. Improved success/error messages:
- Shows specific filename on successful upload
- Shows detailed error messages for validation failures
4. Added uploaded files display section:
- Lists all uploaded files with icons based on file type
- Shows file size and upload timestamp
- Provides download button for each file
- Only displays when files exist
Before: Users received generic "Something went wrong" message with no
indication of why uploads failed. No way to see uploaded files.
After: Clear validation feedback tells users exactly what went wrong
(wrong format, too large, etc.) and uploaded files are visible with
download links.

Fixed two UI issues in the navigation header:
1. **Navbar Alignment**: Added CSS to remove margin/padding from forms in the
header to ensure the Tutorials button (created with button_to) aligns
properly with other navbar items like font size controls and user dropdown.
2. **Font Size Toggle**: Added data-turbolinks="false" to font size control
links to force full page reload. Previously, clicking the small font button
wouldn't apply changes until manual refresh due to Turbolinks caching. Now
both font size buttons work immediately.

Reduced padding from 0.85rem to 0.5rem and adjusted line-height from 1.6 to 1.5
to prevent text from being cut off at the bottom of the dropdown selector. Also

Bootstrap 5 removed jQuery plugin support, so .modal('show') doesn't work.
