- Verbesserte Position-Logik in togglePlay() mit Timeout-Bestätigung
- Behebt Problem, dass Specials beim ersten Segment statt bei startTime starteten

+# Caddy-Setup für Hördle
+
+Diese Anleitung erklärt, wie du Caddy als Reverse-Proxy mit automatischen Let's Encrypt Wildcard-Zertifikaten für die Domains `hoerdle.de` und `hördle.de` (xn--hrdle-jua.de) einrichtest.
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Caddy übernimmt folgende Aufgaben:
+- Automatische SSL/TLS-Zertifikate via Let's Encrypt
+- Wildcard-Zertifikate für beide Domains (inkl. Subdomains)
+- Reverse Proxy zu deinem Hördle-Container
+- HTTP zu HTTPS Redirect
+- Optimierte Einstellungen für Audio-Streaming und Uploads
+
+## Voraussetzungen
+
+1. Docker und Docker Compose installiert
+2. Zugriff auf deine GoDaddy Domain-Verwaltung
+3. Ports 80 und 443 müssen frei sein (Caddy übernimmt diese)
+
+## Schritt 1: GoDaddy DNS-API-Zugangsdaten erstellen
+
+Für Wildcard-Zertifikate benötigt Caddy DNS-01 Challenge, was API-Zugriff auf dein GoDaddy-Konto erfordert.
+
+### GoDaddy API-Keys erstellen
+
+1. Gehe zu [GoDaddy Developer Portal](https://developer.godaddy.com/)
+2. Melde dich mit deinem GoDaddy-Konto an
+3. Klicke auf **"Keys"** in der Navigation
+4. Klicke auf **"Create New API Key"**
+5. Fülle das Formular aus:
+   - **Key Name**: z.B. "Hördle Caddy DNS"
+   - **Environment**: Production (für echte Domains)
+6. Klicke auf **"Create"**
+7. **Wichtig**: Kopiere dir den **API Key** und das **API Secret** - das Secret wird nur einmal angezeigt!
+
+### Alternative: Manuelle DNS-TXT-Records (ohne API)
+
+Wenn du keine API-Keys verwenden möchtest, kannst du die DNS-TXT-Records manuell setzen. **Hinweis**: Dies ist nur für die initiale Zertifikatsanfrage möglich, nicht für automatische Erneuerungen.
+
+Siehe Abschnitt "Manuelle DNS-Konfiguration (ohne API)" weiter unten.
+
+## Schritt 2: Environment-Variablen konfigurieren
+
+Erstelle eine `.env`-Datei im Projektverzeichnis (oder erweitere die bestehende):
+
+```bash
+# GoDaddy API-Credentials für DNS-01 Challenge
+GODADDY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+GODADDY_API_SECRET=your_api_secret_here
+
+# Optional: Email für Let's Encrypt Benachrichtigungen
+CADDY_EMAIL=markus@hoerdle.de
+```
+
+**Wichtig**: Die `.env`-Datei sollte nicht in Git committed werden (sollte bereits in `.gitignore` sein).
+
+## Schritt 3: Docker-Netzwerk erstellen
+
+Caddy und Hördle müssen im gleichen Docker-Netzwerk kommunizieren:
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe, ob das Netzwerk bereits existiert
+docker network ls | grep hoerdle
+
+# Falls das Netzwerk bereits existiert, aber falsche Labels hat:
+# 1. Stoppe alle Container, die das Netzwerk nutzen
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml down
+
+# 2. Lösche das alte Netzwerk (falls keine Container mehr dranhängen)
+docker network rm hoerdle_default
+
+# 3. Erstelle das Netzwerk neu
+docker network create hoerdle_default
+
+# Falls das Netzwerk nicht existiert, erstelle es:
+docker network create hoerdle_default
+```
+
+**Hinweis**: Die docker-compose.caddy.yml ist so konfiguriert, dass sie das Netzwerk als externes Netzwerk nutzt. Das bedeutet, dass das Netzwerk bereits existieren muss, bevor Caddy gestartet wird.
+
+## Schritt 4: Caddy starten
+
+### Option A: Mit docker-compose (Empfohlen)
+
+```bash
+# Starte Hördle + Caddy zusammen
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production up -d
+
+# Nur Caddy starten (wenn Hördle bereits läuft)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production up -d
+```
+
+### Option B: Nur Caddy starten (Hördle läuft bereits)
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production up -d
+```
+
+## Schritt 5: DNS-Konfiguration in GoDaddy
+
+### Automatisch (mit API-Keys)
+
+Wenn du API-Keys konfiguriert hast, wird Caddy automatisch die benötigten DNS-TXT-Records erstellen. Keine manuellen DNS-Änderungen nötig!
+
+### Manuell (ohne API-Keys)
+
+Wenn du die API-Keys nicht verwenden möchtest, musst du die DNS-TXT-Records manuell setzen:
+
+#### Für hoerdle.de:
+
+1. Gehe zu deinem [GoDaddy DNS-Verwaltung](https://dcc.godaddy.com/manage/YOUR_DOMAIN/dns)
+2. Für jedes Wildcard-Zertifikat benötigst du einen TXT-Record:
+   - **Typ**: TXT
+   - **Name**: `_acme-challenge`
+   - **Wert**: (wird von Let's Encrypt generiert - siehe Caddy-Logs)
+   - **TTL**: 600 (10 Minuten)
+
+**Wichtig**: Für Wildcard-Zertifikate brauchst du:
+- Einen TXT-Record für `_acme-challenge.hoerdle.de` (Domain selbst)
+- Einen TXT-Record für `_acme-challenge.*.hoerdle.de` (Wildcard)
+
+#### Für hördle.de (xn--hrdle-jua.de):
+
+Das gleiche Vorgehen für die Punycode-Domain:
+- `_acme-challenge.xn--hrdle-jua.de`
+- `_acme-challenge.*.xn--hrdle-jua.de`
+
+**Hinweis**: Die manuelle Methode funktioniert nur für die initiale Zertifikatsanfrage. Für automatische Erneuerungen benötigst du die API-Keys.
+
+## Schritt 6: Prüfen, ob alles funktioniert
+
+### Caddy-Logs ansehen
+
+```bash
+docker logs -f hoerdle-caddy
+```
+
+Du solltest sehen:
+- Caddy startet erfolgreich
+- Let's Encrypt-Zertifikate werden angefordert
+- Zertifikate sind gültig
+
+### Zertifikate prüfen
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe Zertifikate im Browser
+# Öffne: https://hoerdle.de
+# Öffne: https://hördle.de
+```
+
+Oder via Command-Line:
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe Zertifikat für hoerdle.de
+openssl s_client -connect hoerdle.de:443 -servername hoerdle.de < /dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -text | grep "Subject:"
+
+# Prüfe Zertifikat für hördle.de
+openssl s_client -connect xn--hrdle-jua.de:443 -servername xn--hrdle-jua.de < /dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -text | grep "Subject:"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Caddy startet nicht
+
+**Problem**: Container stoppt sofort nach Start.
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe Caddy-Logs: `docker logs hoerdle-caddy`
+2. Prüfe Caddyfile-Syntax: `docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro caddy:2-alpine caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile`
+3. Prüfe, ob Ports 80/443 frei sind: `sudo netstat -tlnp | grep -E ':80|:443'`
+
+### Zertifikate werden nicht erstellt
+
+**Problem**: Let's Encrypt-Zertifikate werden nicht angefordert.
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe GoDaddy API-Credentials in `.env`
+2. Prüfe Caddy-Logs für DNS-Challenge-Fehler
+3. Stelle sicher, dass die Domains korrekt auf deinen Server zeigen (A-Records)
+4. Bei manueller DNS-Konfiguration: Prüfe, ob TXT-Records korrekt gesetzt sind
+
+### DNS-Challenge schlägt fehl
+
+**Problem**: DNS-01 Challenge kann DNS-Records nicht erstellen.
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe GoDaddy API-Permissions
+2. Stelle sicher, dass API-Keys Production-Keys sind (nicht Development)
+3. Prüfe Domain-Ownership in GoDaddy
+4. Warte einige Minuten - DNS-Propagierung kann dauern
+
+### Audio-Dateien funktionieren nicht
+
+**Problem**: MP3-Dateien werden nicht korrekt gestreamt.
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe Caddy-Logs: `docker logs hoerdle-caddy | grep -i range`
+2. Prüfe, ob Range-Header weitergegeben werden (Browser DevTools → Network)
+3. Stelle sicher, dass der `/uploads/` Handle korrekt konfiguriert ist
+
+### Container können nicht kommunizieren
+
+**Problem**: Caddy kann den hoerdle-Container nicht erreichen.
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe, ob beide Container im gleichen Netzwerk sind:
+   ```bash
+   docker network inspect hoerdle_default
+   ```
+2. Prüfe, ob hoerdle-Container läuft: `docker ps | grep hoerdle`
+3. Teste Verbindung von Caddy zu Hördle:
+   ```bash
+   docker exec hoerdle-caddy wget -O- http://hoerdle:3000/api/health
+   ```
+   **Hinweis**: Der Container-Port ist 3000 (nicht 3010, das ist nur der Host-Port).
+
+### Netzwerk-Warnung beim Deployment
+
+**Problem**: Warnung `network hoerdle_default was found but has incorrect label`
+
+**Erklärung**: Diese Warnung ist **harmlos** und kann ignoriert werden. Docker Compose funktioniert trotzdem einwandfrei. Sie entsteht, wenn das Netzwerk bereits existiert, aber nicht von Docker Compose erstellt wurde.
+
+**Optional: Warnung beheben** (nur wenn sie stört):
+```bash
+# Reparatur-Skript ausführen (stoppt Container kurz)
+./scripts/fix-network.sh
+
+# Danach Container neu starten
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+**Hinweis**: Das Reparatur-Skript stoppt alle Container kurz, die das Netzwerk nutzen. In Produktion sollte dies außerhalb der Hauptnutzungszeit erfolgen.
+
+## Deployment-Workflow
+
+### Caddy nur in Produktion aktivieren
+
+Die `docker-compose.caddy.yml` verwendet das `production`-Profile. Um Caddy zu aktivieren:
+
+```bash
+# Mit Production-Profile
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production up -d
+
+# Ohne Caddy (nur Hördle)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Caddy aktualisieren
+
+```bash
+# Pull neues Caddy-Image
+docker compose -f docker-compose.caddy.yml pull
+
+# Restart Caddy-Container
+docker compose -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production restart caddy
+```
+
+### Caddy-Konfiguration ändern
+
+Nach Änderungen am Caddyfile:
+
+```bash
+# Caddyfile validieren
+docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro caddy:2-alpine caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+
+# Caddy neu laden (ohne Downtime)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+## Sicherheit
+
+### API-Keys schützen
+
+- **Niemals** API-Keys in Git committen
+- Verwende `.env`-Dateien (sollten in `.gitignore` sein)
+- Setze minimale Berechtigungen für API-Keys in GoDaddy
+- Rotiere API-Keys regelmäßig
+
+### Firewall
+
+Stelle sicher, dass nur Ports 80 und 443 öffentlich erreichbar sind. Port 3010 (Hördle) sollte nicht öffentlich erreichbar sein.

+# Caddy Zertifikat-Troubleshooting
+
+## Problem: Zertifikat für Punycode-Domain (hördle.de / xn--hrdle-jua.de) fehlt
+
+Wenn die Domain `hördle.de` (xn--hrdle-jua.de) einen `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR` zeigt, bedeutet das, dass kein gültiges SSL-Zertifikat vorhanden ist.
+
+### Schritt 1: Zertifikat-Status prüfen
+
+Führe das Check-Script aus:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/check-caddy-certificates.sh
+```
+
+Dieses Script prüft:
+- Ob Caddy läuft
+- Welche Zertifikate vorhanden sind
+- Ob die DNS-Einträge korrekt sind
+- Ob die HTTPS-Verbindungen funktionieren
+
+### Schritt 2: DNS-Einträge prüfen
+
+**Wichtig**: Beide Domains müssen auf die gleiche Server-IP zeigen!
+
+#### In GoDaddy prüfen:
+
+1. Gehe zu [GoDaddy DNS-Verwaltung](https://dcc.godaddy.com/manage/hoerdle.de/dns)
+2. Prüfe die A-Records:
+
+   **Für hoerdle.de:**
+   - Name: `@` oder `hoerdle.de`
+   - Typ: `A`
+   - Wert: `DEINE_SERVER_IP`
+
+   **Für hördle.de (Punycode):**
+   - Name: `@` oder `xn--hrdle-jua.de` (oder der Unicode-Name, falls unterstützt)
+   - Typ: `A`
+   - Wert: **GLEICHE_SERVER_IP wie hoerdle.de**
+
+#### DNS manuell testen:
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe hoerdle.de
+dig +short hoerdle.de @8.8.8.8
+
+# Prüfe xn--hrdle-jua.de (Punycode)
+dig +short xn--hrdle-jua.de @8.8.8.8
+
+# Beide sollten die gleiche IP zurückgeben!
+```
+
+### Schritt 3: Zertifikat neu erstellen
+
+Wenn die DNS-Einträge korrekt sind, lösche das alte (fehlgeschlagene) Zertifikat und lass Caddy es neu erstellen:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/renew-caddy-certificates.sh
+```
+
+Wähle Option 2: "Nur Zertifikat für xn--hrdle-jua.de löschen"
+
+### Schritt 4: Caddy-Logs überwachen
+
+Während Caddy das Zertifikat erstellt, überwache die Logs:
+
+```bash
+docker logs hoerdle-caddy -f
+```
+
+Du solltest sehen:
+- `[INFO] attempting ACME challenge` - Caddy versucht die Challenge
+- `[INFO] successfully completed ACME challenge` - Challenge erfolgreich
+- `[INFO] certificate obtained successfully` - Zertifikat erstellt
+
+Bei Fehlern siehst du:
+- `[ERROR] acme: error` - Challenge fehlgeschlagen
+- `[ERROR] unable to validate` - Validierung fehlgeschlagen
+
+### Schritt 5: Häufige Probleme und Lösungen
+
+#### Problem 1: DNS zeigt auf falsche IP
+
+**Symptom**: `dig` zeigt eine andere IP als erwartet
+
+**Lösung**: 
+1. Prüfe DNS-Einträge in GoDaddy
+2. Warte auf DNS-Propagierung (kann 5-60 Minuten dauern)
+3. Verwende einen DNS-Checker: https://www.whatsmydns.net/
+
+#### Problem 2: Port 80 nicht erreichbar
+
+**Symptom**: Caddy-Logs zeigen "connection refused" oder Timeout
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe Firewall: `sudo ufw status`
+2. Prüfe ob Port 80 offen ist: `sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :80`
+3. Prüfe ob Caddy auf Port 80 lauscht: `docker exec hoerdle-caddy netstat -tulpn | grep :80`
+
+#### Problem 3: Let's Encrypt Rate Limit
+
+**Symptom**: Logs zeigen "too many certificates already issued"
+
+**Lösung**:
+- Warte 1 Woche (Rate Limit von Let's Encrypt)
+- Oder verwende Staging-Environment zum Testen:
+  ```caddyfile
+  tls {
+      staging
+  }
+  ```
+
+#### Problem 4: Punycode-Domain wird nicht erkannt
+
+**Symptom**: Caddy erstellt Zertifikat nur für hoerdle.de, nicht für xn--hrdle-jua.de
+
+**Lösung**:
+1. Prüfe ob beide Domains in der Caddyfile stehen
+2. Prüfe DNS-Einträge (siehe Schritt 2)
+3. Erzwinge Zertifikat-Erstellung (siehe Schritt 3)
+
+### Manuelle Zertifikat-Löschung
+
+Falls das Script nicht funktioniert, kannst du Zertifikate manuell löschen:
+
+```bash
+# Alle Zertifikate löschen
+docker exec hoerdle-caddy rm -rf /data/caddy/certificates/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org-directory/*
+
+# Nur Punycode-Zertifikat löschen (manuell)
+docker exec hoerdle-caddy find /data/caddy/certificates -name "*xn--*" -delete
+
+# Container neu starten
+docker compose -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production restart caddy
+```
+
+### DNS-Propagierung prüfen
+
+Nach DNS-Änderungen kann es bis zu 60 Minuten dauern, bis alle DNS-Server aktualisiert sind:
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe DNS-Propagierung weltweit
+curl "https://dnschecker.org/#A/hoerdle.de"
+curl "https://dnschecker.org/#A/xn--hrdle-jua.de"
+```
+
+### Test-Zertifikat erstellen (Staging)
+
+Zum Testen ohne Rate-Limits kannst du ein Staging-Zertifikat erstellen:
+
+1. Temporär Caddyfile ändern (in beiden Domain-Blocks):
+```caddyfile
+tls {
+    staging
+}
+```
+
+2. Container neu starten
+3. Zertifikat erstellen lassen
+4. Zurück zu Produktion ändern (Staging-Block entfernen)
+5. Erneut Container neu starten
+
+### Verifizieren, dass es funktioniert
+
+Nach erfolgreicher Zertifikats-Erstellung:
+
+```bash
+# Teste HTTPS-Verbindung
+curl -I https://hoerdle.de
+curl -I https://xn--hrdle-jua.de
+
+# Prüfe Zertifikat-Details
+echo | openssl s_client -connect hoerdle.de:443 -servername hoerdle.de 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -subject -dates
+echo | openssl s_client -connect xn--hrdle-jua.de:443 -servername xn--hrdle-jua.de 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -subject -dates
+```
+
+### Support
+
+Falls das Problem weiterhin besteht:
+1. Prüfe Caddy-Logs: `docker logs hoerdle-caddy`
+2. Prüfe DNS: `dig +short xn--hrdle-jua.de @8.8.8.8`
+3. Prüfe Firewall: `sudo ufw status`
+4. Prüfe Port-Zugriff: `curl -I http://hoerdle.de`

+## Caddy Reverse Proxy (Optional - Production)
+
+For production deployments with automatic SSL/TLS certificates, Caddy can be used as a reverse proxy. Caddy provides:
+
+- Automatic Let's Encrypt certificates (including wildcard certificates)
+- HTTP to HTTPS redirect
+- Optimized settings for audio streaming and file uploads
+- Support for both `hoerdle.de` and `hördle.de` (Punycode: `xn--hrdle-jua.de`)
+
+### Quick Start
+
+1. **Follow the setup guide**: See `CADDY_SETUP.md` for detailed instructions
+2. **Configure environment variables**: Add GoDaddy API credentials to your `.env` file
+3. **Start with Caddy**:
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.caddy.yml --profile production up -d
+   ```
+
+### Without Caddy
+
+If you don't want to use Caddy, you can deploy normally:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+The application will still be accessible on port 3010, but you'll need to configure SSL/TLS separately (e.g., with nginx).

+# Docker Build Fix: Upload-Dateien ausschließen
+
+## Problem
+
+Der Docker Build schlug fehl mit:
+```
+no space left on device
+```
+
+**Ursache**: Die großen MP3-Dateien in `public/uploads/` wurden in den Build-Context kopiert und verbrauchten zu viel Speicherplatz.
+
+## Lösung
+
+Eine `.dockerignore` Datei wurde erstellt, die folgende Dateien/Ordner vom Build ausschließt:
+
+- `public/uploads/*` - Upload-Dateien (werden als Volume gemountet)
+- `data/*` - Datenbank-Dateien (werden als Volume gemountet)
+- `node_modules` - werden während des Builds installiert
+- `.next`, `out`, `build` - Build-Artefakte
+- Backup-Dateien, Logs, temporäre Dateien
+
+## Zusätzliche Maßnahmen
+
+Falls der Build weiterhin Probleme macht:
+
+### 1. Docker aufräumen
+
+```bash
+# Entferne nicht verwendete Images
+docker image prune -a
+
+# Entferne nicht verwendete Container
+docker container prune
+
+# Entferne nicht verwendete Volumes (VORSICHT: kann Daten löschen!)
+docker volume prune
+
+# Kompletter Cleanup (alles außer laufenden Containern)
+docker system prune -a
+```
+
+### 2. Speicherplatz prüfen
+
+```bash
+# Zeige Speicherplatz
+df -h
+
+# Zeige Docker-Speicherverbrauch
+docker system df
+
+# Zeige größte Images
+docker images --format "table {{.Repository}}\t{{.Tag}}\t{{.Size}}" | sort -k3 -h
+```
+
+### 3. Build-Kontext prüfen
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe was in den Build-Context kopiert wird
+docker build --no-cache --progress=plain -t test-build . 2>&1 | grep "transferring context"
+```
+
+### 4. Upload-Dateien manuell ausschließen
+
+Falls die `.dockerignore` nicht greift, können Upload-Dateien vorübergehend verschoben werden:
+
+```bash
+# Vor dem Build
+mv public/uploads public/uploads.backup
+mkdir -p public/uploads
+touch public/uploads/.gitkeep
+
+# Build durchführen
+docker compose build
+
+# Uploads wiederherstellen
+rm -rf public/uploads
+mv public/uploads.backup public/uploads
+```
+
+## Wichtig
+
+Die Upload-Dateien werden **nicht** ins Docker-Image kopiert, sondern als Volume gemountet:
+
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ./public/uploads:/app/public/uploads
+```
+
+Das bedeutet:
+- Upload-Dateien bleiben auf dem Host-System
+- Sie werden zur Laufzeit gemountet
+- Sie sollten **nicht** ins Image kopiert werden (spart viel Speicher)
+
+## Verifikation
+
+Nach dem Build sollte das Image deutlich kleiner sein:
+
+```bash
+# Zeige Image-Größe
+docker images hoerdle-hoerdle
+
+# Prüfe ob Uploads im Image sind
+docker run --rm hoerdle-hoerdle ls -lh /app/public/uploads
+# Sollte nur .gitkeep oder Covers zeigen, keine MP3-Dateien
+```

+
+### Übersetzungsdateien
+
+Die Übersetzungen sind in JSON-Dateien unter `messages/` organisiert:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Common": {
+    "loading": "Laden...",
+    "error": "Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten"
+  },
+  "Game": {
+    "play": "Abspielen",
+    "pause": "Pause",
+    "won": "Gewonnen!"
+  },
+  "Home": {
+    "welcome": "Willkommen bei Hördle"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Datenbank-Schema
+
+Die folgenden Modelle unterstützen mehrsprachige Felder:
+
+#### Genre
+- `name`: JSON `{ "de": "Rock", "en": "Rock" }`
+- `subtitle`: JSON `{ "de": "Klassischer Rock", "en": "Classic Rock" }`
+
+#### Special
+- `name`: JSON `{ "de": "Weihnachtslieder", "en": "Christmas Songs" }`
+- `subtitle`: JSON `{ "de": "Festliche Musik", "en": "Festive Music" }`
+
+#### News
+- `title`: JSON `{ "de": "Neues Feature", "en": "New Feature" }`
+- `content`: JSON `{ "de": "Markdown Inhalt...", "en": "Markdown content..." }`
+
+### Helper-Funktionen
+
+#### `getLocalizedValue(value, locale, fallback?)`
+
+Extrahiert den lokalisierten Wert aus einem JSON-Objekt:
+
+```typescript
+import { getLocalizedValue } from '@/lib/i18n';
+
+const genreName = getLocalizedValue(genre.name, 'de'); // "Rock"
+const genreNameEn = getLocalizedValue(genre.name, 'en'); // "Rock"
+```
+
+**Fallback-Verhalten:**
+1. Versucht die angeforderte Locale (`de` oder `en`)
+2. Fallback zu `en` falls nicht vorhanden
+3. Fallback zu `de` falls nicht vorhanden
+4. Fallback zum ersten verfügbaren Schlüssel
+5. Fallback zum übergebenen `fallback`-Parameter
+
+#### `createLocalizedObject(de, en?)`
+
+Erstellt ein lokalisiertes Objekt:
+
+```typescript
+import { createLocalizedObject } from '@/lib/i18n';
+
+const name = createLocalizedObject('Rock', 'Rock');
+// { de: "Rock", en: "Rock" }
+```
+
+## Verwendung in Komponenten
+
+### Server Components
+
+```typescript
+import { getTranslations } from 'next-intl/server';
+import { getLocalizedValue } from '@/lib/i18n';
+
+export default async function Page({ params }: { params: { locale: string } }) {
+  const { locale } = await params;
+  const t = await getTranslations('Home');
+  
+  const genreName = getLocalizedValue(genre.name, locale);
+  
+  return <h1>{t('welcome')}</h1>;
+}
+```
+
+### Client Components
+
+```typescript
+'use client';
+import { useTranslations } from 'next-intl';
+import { useLocale } from 'next-intl';
+
+export default function Game() {
+  const t = useTranslations('Game');
+  const locale = useLocale();
+  
+  return <button>{t('play')}</button>;
+}
+```
+
+### Navigation
+
+Verwende die lokalisierte Navigation aus `lib/navigation.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Link } from '@/lib/navigation';
+
+// Automatisch lokalisiert
+<Link href="/admin">Admin</Link>
+<Link href="/Rock">Rock</Link>
+```
+
+## Admin-Interface
+
+Das Admin-Dashboard unterstützt mehrsprachige Eingaben:
+
+1. **Sprach-Tabs:** Wechsle zwischen `DE` und `EN` Tabs
+2. **Genre/Special/News:** Alle Felder können in beiden Sprachen bearbeitet werden
+3. **Vorschau:** Sieh dir die lokalisierte Version direkt an
+
+### Beispiel: Genre erstellen
+
+1. Öffne `/de/admin`
+2. Wähle den `DE` Tab
+3. Gib Name und Subtitle ein
+4. Wechsle zum `EN` Tab
+5. Gib die englischen Übersetzungen ein
+6. Speichere
+
+## Migration bestehender Daten
+
+Bestehende Daten werden automatisch migriert:
+
+1. **Migration `20251128131405_add_i18n_columns`:** Fügt neue JSON-Spalten hinzu
+2. **Migration `20251128132806_switch_to_json_columns`:** Konvertiert String-Spalten zu JSON
+
+**Wichtig:** Alte String-Werte werden automatisch in beide Sprachen kopiert:
+- `"Rock"` → `{ "de": "Rock", "en": "Rock" }`
+
+## Proxy
+
+Der Proxy (`proxy.ts`) leitet Anfragen automatisch um:
+
+- `/` → `/en` (Standard)
+- Ungültige Locales → 404
+- Validiert Locale-Parameter
+
+## Sprachumschalter
+
+Die `LanguageSwitcher`-Komponente ermöglicht Nutzern, zwischen Sprachen zu wechseln:
+
+```typescript
+import LanguageSwitcher from '@/components/LanguageSwitcher';
+
+<LanguageSwitcher />
+```
+
+Die aktuelle Route bleibt erhalten, nur die Locale ändert sich:
+- `/de/admin` → `/en/admin`
+- `/de/Rock` → `/en/Rock`
+
+## API-Endpunkte
+
+API-Routen unterstützen einen optionalen `locale`-Parameter:
+
+```typescript
+GET /api/genres?locale=de
+GET /api/specials?locale=en
+GET /api/news?locale=de
+```
+
+Falls kein `locale` angegeben wird, wird `en` als Standard verwendet.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Immer `getLocalizedValue` verwenden
+
+❌ **Falsch:**
+```typescript
+<span>{genre.name}</span> // Rendert { de: "...", en: "..." }
+```
+
+✅ **Richtig:**
+```typescript
+<span>{getLocalizedValue(genre.name, locale)}</span>
+```
+
+### 2. Übersetzungsschlüssel konsistent benennen
+
+Verwende Namespaces für bessere Organisation:
+- `Common.*` - Allgemeine UI-Elemente
+- `Game.*` - Spiel-spezifische Texte
+- `Home.*` - Homepage-Texte
+- `Navigation.*` - Navigations-Elemente
+
+### 3. Fallbacks definieren
+
+Immer einen Fallback-Wert angeben:
+
+```typescript
+const name = getLocalizedValue(genre.name, locale, 'Unbekannt');
+```
+
+### 4. Neue Übersetzungen hinzufügen
+
+1. Füge den Schlüssel zu `messages/de.json` hinzu
+2. Füge den Schlüssel zu `messages/en.json` hinzu
+3. Verwende `useTranslations('Namespace')` oder `getTranslations('Namespace')`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### 404-Fehler auf `/de` oder `/en`
+
+**Problem:** Route wird nicht gefunden.
+
+**Lösung:**
+1. Überprüfe, ob `proxy.ts` korrekt konfiguriert ist
+2. Stelle sicher, dass `app/[locale]/layout.tsx` existiert
+3. Prüfe die `i18n/request.ts` Konfiguration
+
+### "Objects are not valid as a React child"
+
+**Problem:** Ein JSON-Objekt wird direkt gerendert statt des lokalisierten Werts.
+
+**Lösung:**
+Verwende `getLocalizedValue()`:
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Falsch
+<span>{genre.name}</span>
+
+// ✅ Richtig
+<span>{getLocalizedValue(genre.name, locale)}</span>
+```
+
+### Übersetzungen werden nicht angezeigt
+
+**Problem:** Texte erscheinen als Schlüssel (z.B. `"Game.play"`).
+
+**Lösung:**
+1. Überprüfe, ob der Übersetzungsschlüssel in `messages/de.json` und `messages/en.json` existiert
+2. Stelle sicher, dass der Namespace korrekt ist: `useTranslations('Game')` für `Game.play`
+3. Prüfe die JSON-Syntax auf Fehler
+
+### Admin-Interface zeigt Objekte statt Text
+
+**Problem:** In Dropdowns oder Listen werden `{ de: "...", en: "..." }` angezeigt.
+
+**Lösung:**
+Verwende `getLocalizedValue()` in allen Render-Funktionen:
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Falsch
+<option value={s.id}>{s.name}</option>
+
+// ✅ Richtig
+<option value={s.id}>{getLocalizedValue(s.name, activeTab)}</option>
+```
+
+## Erweiterung um weitere Sprachen
+
+Um eine neue Sprache hinzuzufügen (z.B. Französisch):
+
+1. **Übersetzungsdatei erstellen:**
+   ```bash
+   cp messages/de.json messages/fr.json
+   ```
+
+2. **Übersetzungen hinzufügen:**
+   Bearbeite `messages/fr.json` mit französischen Übersetzungen
+
+3. **Locale zur Konfiguration hinzufügen:**
+   - `i18n/request.ts`: `const locales = ['en', 'de', 'fr'];`
+   - `proxy.ts`: `locales: ['en', 'de', 'fr']`
+   - `lib/navigation.ts`: `export const locales = ['de', 'en', 'fr'] as const;`
+
+4. **Layout aktualisieren:**
+   ```typescript
+   // app/[locale]/layout.tsx
+   if (!['en', 'de', 'fr'].includes(locale)) {
+     notFound();
+   }
+   ```
+
+5. **LanguageSwitcher erweitern:**
+   Füge einen Button für `fr` hinzu
+
+6. **Datenbank-Migration:**
+   Bestehende Daten behalten ihre Struktur, neue Einträge können optional `fr` enthalten

+# Plausible Analytics Konfiguration
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Die App verwendet Plausible Analytics für anonyme Nutzungsstatistiken. Die Konfiguration erfolgt über Umgebungsvariablen.
+
+## Konfiguration
+
+### Erforderliche Variablen
+
+**Nur eine Variable ist erforderlich:**
+
+1. **`NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC`** (erforderlich)
+   - Die vollständige URL zum Plausible-Script
+   - Beispiel (selbst gehostet): `https://plausible.elpatron.me/js/script.js`
+   - Beispiel (extern): `https://plausible.io/js/script.js`
+
+**Hinweis:** Die Domain wird automatisch aus der Request-Domain erkannt. Beide Domains (`hoerdle.de` und `hördle.de`) werden automatisch getrackt.
+
+### Konfiguration für Docker
+
+Da es sich um **Build-Time Variablen** handelt (NEXT_PUBLIC_*), muss die App neu gebaut werden, wenn diese geändert werden.
+
+#### Schritt 1: Umgebungsvariablen setzen
+
+Erstelle oder bearbeite eine `.env`-Datei im Projektverzeichnis:
+
+```bash
+# Plausible Analytics (Script-URL ist erforderlich)
+NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC=https://plausible.elpatron.me/js/script.js
+
+# Die Domain wird automatisch erkannt - keine weitere Konfiguration nötig!
+```
+
+#### Schritt 2: docker-compose.yml konfigurieren
+
+Stelle sicher, dass die Variablen als Build-Args übergeben werden:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  hoerdle:
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: Dockerfile
+      args:
+        NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC: ${NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC}
+```
+
+Die `docker-compose.example.yml` enthält bereits diese Konfiguration.
+
+#### Schritt 3: App neu bauen
+
+**WICHTIG:** Nach Änderung der Plausible-Variablen muss die App neu gebaut werden:
+
+```bash
+docker compose build --no-cache
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Oder mit dem Deploy-Script:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/deploy.sh
+```
+
+### Konfiguration für beide Domains
+
+Die App unterstützt **automatisches Tracking** für beide Domains (`hoerdle.de` und `hördle.de`). Die Domain wird automatisch aus dem Request-Header ausgelesen und entsprechend in Plausible getrackt.
+
+#### Automatisches Domain-Tracking
+
+**Standard-Verhalten:** Die App erkennt automatisch, welche Domain aufgerufen wurde, und setzt die entsprechende `data-domain` im Plausible-Script:
+- `https://hoerdle.de/*` → `data-domain="hoerdle.de"`
+- `https://hördle.de/*` → `data-domain="hördle.de"`
+
+#### In Plausible konfigurieren
+
+Du hast zwei Optionen:
+
+##### Option 1: Beide Domains als separate Sites (separate Statistiken) - Empfohlen für getrenntes Tracking
+
+1. Erstelle in Plausible zwei separate Sites:
+   - `hoerdle.de`
+   - `hördle.de`
+
+2. Fertig! Die App trackt automatisch die richtige Domain.
+
+**Vorteil:** Separate Statistiken für jede Domain.
+
+##### Option 2: Beide Domains als Aliase für eine Site (gemeinsame Statistiken)
+
+1. Erstelle in Plausible eine Site: `hoerdle.de`
+2. Füge `hördle.de` als Alias hinzu (in den Site-Einstellungen)
+
+3. Fertig! Die App trackt automatisch die richtige Domain, und Plausible behandelt beide als Aliase für die gleiche Site.
+
+**Hinweis:** Du musst nichts zusätzlich konfigurieren. Die App trackt automatisch `hoerdle.de` oder `hördle.de` basierend auf der Request-Domain, und Plausible erkennt beide als Aliase.
+
+**Vorteil:** Gemeinsame Statistiken für beide Domains in einer Site.
+
+#### Empfehlung
+
+Für separate Statistiken: **Option 1** (automatisches Tracking)
+Für gemeinsame Statistiken: **Option 2** (Aliase in Plausible)
+
+### Automatische CSP-Anpassung
+
+Die Content Security Policy (CSP) in `proxy.ts` wird automatisch an die konfigurierte Plausible-URL angepasst. Die Domain wird automatisch aus der Script-URL extrahiert.
+
+### Prüfen der Konfiguration
+
+Nach dem Neubau kannst du prüfen, ob Plausible korrekt geladen wird:
+
+1. **Browser-Entwicklertools öffnen**
+   - Network-Tab: Suche nach dem Plausible-Script
+   - Console: Prüfe auf Fehler
+
+2. **Prüfe die Meta-Tags**
+   ```html
+   <script defer data-domain="hoerdle.de" src="https://plausible.elpatron.me/js/script.js"></script>
+   ```
+
+3. **Prüfe Plausible-Dashboard**
+   - Öffne dein Plausible-Dashboard
+   - Prüfe, ob Daten ankommen
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### Plausible wird nicht geladen
+
+- Prüfe, ob die Umgebungsvariablen korrekt gesetzt sind
+- Prüfe, ob die App neu gebaut wurde (Build-Time Variablen!)
+- Prüfe Browser-Console auf CSP-Fehler
+
+#### CSP blockiert Plausible
+
+Die CSP sollte automatisch angepasst werden. Falls Probleme auftreten:
+- Prüfe, ob `NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC` korrekt gesetzt ist
+- Prüfe die Logs des Containers
+
+#### Daten werden nicht in Plausible angezeigt
+
+- Prüfe, ob die Domain in Plausible als Site konfiguriert ist
+- Prüfe, ob `data-domain` Attribut mit der konfigurierten Domain übereinstimmt
+- Prüfe Browser-Console auf Fehler beim Laden des Scripts
+
+### Beispiel-Konfiguration
+
+#### Für selbst gehostetes Plausible:
+
+```bash
+NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC=https://plausible.elpatron.me/js/script.js
+```
+
+#### Für Plausible.io (extern):
+
+```bash
+NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC=https://plausible.io/js/script.js
+```
+
+**Hinweis:** Die Domain wird automatisch aus der Request-Domain erkannt - keine weitere Konfiguration nötig!

+# Scoring-System Optionen
+
+## Problem-Analyse
+
+### Aktuelle Situation
+- **Start:** 90 Punkte
+- **Richtige Antwort:** +20 Punkte
+- **Falsche Antwort:** -3 Punkte (falscher Rateversuch) + -5 Punkte (Track-Verlängerung) = **-8 Punkte total**
+- **Skip:** -5 Punkte
+- **Replay:** -1 Punkt
+
+### Problem (vor der Änderung)
+Bei vielen Versuchen kam man mit einem relativ hohen Score heraus:
+- Beispiel (alt): 7 Versuche = 90 + 20 - (6 × 3) = **92 Punkte**
+
+### Lösung (aktuell implementiert)
+Bei falschen Rateversuchen werden zusätzlich -5 Punkte für die Track-Verlängerung (unlockSteps) abgezogen:
+- Beispiel (neu): 7 Versuche = 90 + 20 - (6 × 8) = **62 Punkte**
+  - Start: 90 Punkte
+  - 6 falsche Versuche: -48 Punkte (6 × -8, bestehend aus -3 für falsch + -5 für Verlängerung)
+  - 1 richtiger Versuch: +20 Punkte
+  - **Ergebnis: 62 Punkte**
+
+Dies spiegelt nun besser die tatsächliche Leistung wider. Das System bleibt motivierend, da richtige Antworten weiterhin belohnt werden.
+
+---
+
+## Option 1: Progressive Abzüge ⚠️ (Intransparent)
+
+### Konzept
+Abzüge steigen mit jedem Versuch, aber das System ist schwer nachvollziehbar.
+
+```
+- Versuch 1-2: -2 Punkte pro falscher Antwort
+- Versuch 3-4: -4 Punkte pro falscher Antwort  
+- Versuch 5-6: -6 Punkte pro falscher Antwort
+- Versuch 7: -8 Punkte
+```
+
+### Beispiel
+Bei 7 Versuchen: 90 + 20 - (2+2+4+4+6+6) = **86 Punkte**
+
+### Probleme
+- **Intransparent**: Spieler müssen sich merken, welche Abzüge in welcher Runde gelten
+- **Schwer erklärbar**: Das Regelwerk ist komplex
+- **Unklar im UI**: Aktuelle Abzüge sind nicht sofort ersichtlich
+
+### Vorteile
+- Progressive Bestrafung für viele Versuche
+- Fairer als aktuelles System
+
+---
+
+## Option 2: Bonus-Malus-System
+
+### Konzept
+Höhere Belohnungen für frühe Erfolge + progressive Abzüge.
+
+```
+Start: 90 Punkte
+
+Richtige Antwort (Bonus abhängig vom Versuch):
+  - Versuch 1: +30 Punkte (sehr gut!)
+  - Versuch 2: +25 Punkte (gut!)
+  - Versuch 3: +20 Punkte (okay)
+  - Versuch 4: +15 Punkte
+  - Versuch 5+: +10 Punkte
+
+Falsche Antwort (progressive Abzüge):
+  - Versuch 1-2: -3 Punkte
+  - Versuch 3-4: -5 Punkte
+  - Versuch 5-6: -8 Punkte
+  - Versuch 7: -10 Punkte
+```
+
+### Beispiele
+- Gelöst in Versuch 1: 90 + 30 = **120 Punkte** ⭐
+- Gelöst in Versuch 4 (nach 3 Fehlern): 90 + 15 - (3+5+5) = **92 Punkte**
+- Gelöst in Versuch 7 (nach 6 Fehlern): 90 + 10 - (3+5+5+8+8+10) = **61 Punkte**
+
+### Vorteile
+- **Transparent**: Klare Regeln pro Versuch
+- **Motivierend**: Hohe Belohnungen für schnelles Lösen
+- **Fair**: Späte Erfolge werden abgewertet
+
+### Nachteile
+- Etwas komplexer als aktuelles System
+- Muss im UI klar kommuniziert werden
+
+---
+
+## Option 3: Effizienz-Multiplikator
+
+### Konzept
+Basis-System bleibt, aber Multiplikator basierend auf Versuchszahl.
+
+```
+Basis-System (wie aktuell, aber mit höheren Abzügen):
+- Falsche Antwort: -5 Punkte (statt -3)
+- Skip: -7 Punkte (statt -5)
+
+Bonus-Multiplikatoren (basierend auf Versuch, in dem gelöst wurde):
+  - Gelöst in 1-2 Versuchen: ×1.2 (20% Bonus)
+  - Gelöst in 3-4 Versuchen: ×1.1 (10% Bonus)
+  - Gelöst in 5-6 Versuchen: ×1.0 (kein Bonus)
+  - Gelöst in 7 Versuchen: ×0.9 (10% Abzug)
+```
+
+### Beispiele
+- Gelöst in Versuch 2 (1 Fehler): (90 + 20 - 5) × 1.2 = **126 Punkte**
+- Gelöst in Versuch 4 (3 Fehler): (90 + 20 - 15) × 1.1 = **104.5 → 105 Punkte**
+- Gelöst in Versuch 7 (6 Fehler): (90 + 20 - 30) × 0.9 = **72 Punkte**
+
+### Vorteile
+- Multiplikator ist einfach zu verstehen ("20% Bonus für schnelles Lösen")
+- Basis-System bleibt ähnlich
+- Gerechte Bestrafung für viele Versuche
+
+### Nachteile
+- Multiplikatoren müssen berechnet werden (könnte kompliziert wirken)
+- Kombination aus Basis + Multiplikator kann verwirrend sein
+
+---
+
+## Option 4: Kombiniertes System
+
+### Konzept
+Höhere Abzüge + kleine Motivations-Boni.
+
+```
+Basis-System (höhere Abzüge):
+- Falsche Antwort: -5 Punkte (statt -3)
+- Skip: -7 Punkte (statt -5)
+- Richtige Antwort: +20 Punkte (bleibt)
+
+Motivations-Boni:
+- "Erstversuch" Bonus: +2 Punkte wenn erster Versuch nicht skipped wurde
+- "Perfekter Durchlauf": +5 Bonus wenn kein Skip verwendet wurde
+- "Knapp daneben": +1 Punkt für Versuche, die fast richtig waren (optional, komplex)
+```
+
+### Beispiele
+- Gelöst in Versuch 1: 90 + 20 + 2 + 5 = **117 Punkte**
+- Gelöst in Versuch 4 (3 Fehler, kein Skip): 90 + 20 - 15 + 5 = **100 Punkte**
+- Gelöst in Versuch 7 (6 Fehler, 2 Skips): 90 + 20 - 30 - 14 = **66 Punkte**
+
+### Vorteile
+- **Einfach verständlich**: Basis + kleine Boni
+- **Motivierend**: Positive Verstärkung für gutes Verhalten
+- **Fair**: Höhere Abzüge sorgen für differenzierten Score
+
+### Nachteile
+- Mehrere kleine Boni können unübersichtlich werden
+- "Knapp daneben" ist schwer zu implementieren
+
+---
+
+## Option 5: Streak-System (Langfristige Motivation)
+
+### Konzept
+Zusätzliche Belohnungen für konsequentes Spielen über mehrere Tage.
+
+```
+Tägliche Streaks:
+- 3 Tage in Folge gelöst: +5 Bonus-Punkte
+- 7 Tage: +10 Bonus-Punkte
+- 30 Tage: +15 Bonus-Punkte
+```
+
+**Kombiniert mit einem der anderen Systeme** (z.B. Option 2 oder 4).
+
+### Vorteile
+- Langfristige Spielermotivation
+- Belohnt Engagement
+
+### Nachteile
+- Braucht Tracking über mehrere Tage
+- Löst nicht das Hauptproblem (zu hoher Score bei vielen Versuchen)
+
+---
+
+## Option 6: Multiplikator-System (Vereinfacht)
+
+### Konzept
+Höhere Abzüge + einfache Multiplikatoren für Versuchszahl.
+
+```
+Höhere Basis-Abzüge:
+- Falsche Antwort: -5 Punkte
+- Skip: -7 Punkte
+
+Multiplikator basierend auf Versuch, in dem gelöst wurde:
+- Versuch 1: ×1.5 (50% Bonus) → Sehr schnelles Lösen
+- Versuch 2: ×1.3 (30% Bonus)
+- Versuch 3: ×1.1 (10% Bonus)
+- Versuch 4: ×1.0 (kein Bonus/Aufschlag)
+- Versuch 5+: ×0.9 (10% Abzug)
+```
+
+### Beispiele
+- Gelöst in Versuch 1: (90 + 20) × 1.5 = **165 Punkte** ⭐⭐⭐
+- Gelöst in Versuch 3 (2 Fehler): (90 + 20 - 10) × 1.1 = **110 Punkte**
+- Gelöst in Versuch 7 (6 Fehler): (90 + 20 - 30) × 0.9 = **72 Punkte**
+
+### Vorteile
+- **Sehr transparent**: "50% Bonus für Erstversuch" ist einfach zu verstehen
+- **Stark motivierend**: Hohe Belohnungen für schnelles Lösen
+- **Fair**: Viele Versuche = niedriger Score
+
+### Nachteile
+- Multiplikatoren könnten als zu komplex empfunden werden
+- Hohe Scores bei frühen Erfolgen (könnte als "zu leicht" empfunden werden)
+
+---
+
+## Empfehlungen
+
+### Für Transparenz und Einfachheit: **Option 2 oder Option 4**
+
+**Option 2 (Bonus-Malus)** ist am transparentesten:
+- Klare Werte pro Versuch
+- Einfach zu kommunizieren: "Erstversuch gibt +30, jeder weitere Versuch reduziert den Bonus"
+- Fair und motivierend
+
+**Option 4 (Kombiniert)** ist am einfachsten:
+- Basis-System bleibt ähnlich (nur höhere Abzüge)
+- Zusätzliche kleine Boni sind optional und motivierend
+- Sehr einfach zu verstehen
+
+### Für maximale Motivation: **Option 6**
+
+- Hohe Belohnungen für schnelles Lösen
+- Einfache Multiplikatoren ("50% Bonus")
+- Sehr fair für viele Versuche
+
+---
+
+## Implementierungs-Hinweise
+
+### UI-Kommunikation
+Welche Option auch gewählt wird - sie muss im Spiel klar kommuniziert werden:
+- Tooltips bei Versuchen
+- Score-Breakdown zeigt Abzüge/Boni pro Versuch
+- Vorschau: "Dieser Versuch würde X Punkte kosten/geben"
+
+### Testing
+Vor der Implementierung sollten verschiedene Szenarien durchgespielt werden:
+- Erstversuch-Lösung
+- Mittlere Versuche (3-4)
+- Knappe Lösung (6-7 Versuche)
+- Mit/ohne Skips
+- Mit/ohne Replays
+
+### Migration
+- Bestehende Scores können nicht einfach migriert werden
+- Neue Regeln gelten ab Start des neuen Systems
+- Eventuell: "New Scoring System" Ankündigung
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Implementiert: Abzüge für zusätzliche Sekunden
+
+**Status:** ✅ **Aktuell implementiert**
+
+Bei falschen Rateversuchen werden zusätzlich **-5 Punkte für die Track-Verlängerung** abgezogen:
+- Falsche Antwort (Rateversuch): -3 Punkte (falsch) + -5 Punkte (Verlängerung) = **-8 Punkte total**
+- Skip: -5 Punkte (kein zusätzlicher Abzug, da Skip keine Verlängerung bedeutet)
+
+**Vorteile:**
+- ✅ Reflektiert den "Hilfsmittel"-Charakter der zusätzlichen Sekunden
+- ✅ Macht viele Versuche deutlich teurer
+- ✅ Fairer Score bei vielen Versuchen
+- ✅ Transparent: Klar getrennt als "Wrong guess" und "Track extension"
+
+**Hinweis:** Dies ist die erste Anpassung des Scoring-Systems. Weitere Optionen (siehe oben) können in Zukunft ergänzt werden.
+
+## Offene Fragen
+
+1. Sollen Replays weiterhin -1 Punkt kosten?
+2. Soll das Jahr-Bonus-System (+10) beibehalten werden?
+3. Wie wichtig ist Backward-Compatibility mit bestehenden Scores?
+4. Soll es eine "Preview"-Funktion geben ("Dieser Versuch kostet X Punkte")?
+5. Sollen zusätzlich freigeschaltete Sekunden (Unlock-Steps) zusätzlich Punkte kosten?
+
+---
+
+## Status
+
+📝 **Erstellt:** 2024-12-01  
+✅ **Erste Änderung implementiert:** 2024-12-01 - Track-Verlängerung kostet jetzt -5 Punkte bei falschen Rateversuchen  
+🔄 **Status:** Teilweise umgesetzt  
+💡 **Nächste Schritte:** Weitere Optionen können bei Bedarf ergänzt werden (siehe Optionen oben)

+# SEO & Open Graph Testing Guide
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Diese Anleitung zeigt dir, wie du die SEO-Implementierung (Meta-Tags, Open Graph, Twitter Cards) testen kannst.
+
+## Lokales Testen
+
+### 1. Browser-Entwicklertools
+
+1. **App starten:**
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+   Die App läuft unter `http://localhost:3000`
+
+2. **Meta-Tags im HTML prüfen:**
+   - Öffne eine Seite (z.B. `http://localhost:3000/en` oder `http://localhost:3000/de/about`)
+   - Rechtsklick → "Seite untersuchen" (F12)
+   - Tab "Elements" → `<head>` Bereich erweitern
+   - Suche nach Meta-Tags:
+     - `<meta property="og:title">`
+     - `<meta property="og:description">`
+     - `<meta property="og:image">`
+     - `<meta name="twitter:card">`
+
+3. **View Page Source:**
+   - Rechtsklick → "Seitenquelltext anzeigen"
+   - Suche nach "og:" oder "twitter:" um alle Open Graph und Twitter Meta-Tags zu sehen
+
+### 2. cURL-Test (für schnelle Prüfung)
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe Meta-Tags einer Seite
+curl -s http://localhost:3000/en | grep -i "og:\|twitter:"
+```
+
+### 3. Node.js-Script zum Testen
+
+Erstelle eine Test-Datei `test-og.js`:
+
+```javascript
+const https = require('https');
+const http = require('http');
+
+function fetchHTML(url) {
+  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
+    const client = url.startsWith('https') ? https : http;
+    client.get(url, (res) => {
+      let data = '';
+      res.on('data', (chunk) => data += chunk);
+      res.on('end', () => resolve(data));
+    }).on('error', reject);
+  });
+}
+
+async function testOGTags(url) {
+  try {
+    const html = await fetchHTML(url);
+    const ogTags = {
+      title: html.match(/<meta property="og:title" content="([^"]*)"/)?.[1],
+      description: html.match(/<meta property="og:description" content="([^"]*)"/)?.[1],
+      image: html.match(/<meta property="og:image" content="([^"]*)"/)?.[1],
+      url: html.match(/<meta property="og:url" content="([^"]*)"/)?.[1],
+    };
+    
+    console.log('Open Graph Tags:', ogTags);
+    return ogTags;
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Error:', error.message);
+  }
+}
+
+// Test
+testOGTags('http://localhost:3000/en');
+```
+
+## Online-Tools (für Produktions-URLs)

+1. Öffne die URL
+2. Gib deine Produktions-URL ein (z.B. `https://hoerdle.de/en`)
+3. Klicke auf "Debuggen"
+4. Prüfe die Vorschau und alle Meta-Tags
+
+**Wichtig:** 
+- Facebook cached die Vorschau! Klicke auf "Scraping erneut ausführen" um den Cache zu leeren
+- Funktioniert nur mit öffentlich erreichbaren URLs (nicht localhost)
+
+### 2. Twitter Card Validator
+
+**URL:** https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator
+
+**Verwendung:**
+1. Öffne die URL
+2. Gib deine Produktions-URL ein
+3. Prüfe die Twitter Card Vorschau
+
+**Hinweis:** Twitter hat den Validator eingestellt, aber die Cards funktionieren trotzdem. Du kannst auch einfach einen Tweet mit deiner URL erstellen, um zu sehen, ob die Card angezeigt wird.
+
+### 3. LinkedIn Post Inspector
+
+**URL:** https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/
+
+**Verwendung:**
+1. Öffne die URL (Login erforderlich)
+2. Gib deine Produktions-URL ein
+3. Prüfe die LinkedIn Vorschau
+
+### 4. OpenGraph.xyz (Universelles Tool)
+
+**URL:** https://www.opengraph.xyz/
+
+**Verwendung:**
+1. Öffne die URL
+2. Gib deine URL ein
+3. Sieh dir alle Open Graph und Twitter Meta-Tags an
+4. Sieh dir die Vorschau für verschiedene Plattformen an
+
+### 5. Metatags.io
+
+**URL:** https://metatags.io/
+
+**Verwendung:**
+- Gebe deine URL ein
+- Sieh dir alle Meta-Tags an
+- Vorschau für verschiedene Plattformen
+
+## Produktions-Test (hoerdle.de / hördle.de)
+
+Sobald die App deployed ist, kannst du alle oben genannten Tools mit deinen Produktions-URLs verwenden:
+
+### Test-URLs:
+
+- Homepage (EN): `https://hoerdle.de/en`
+- Homepage (DE): `https://hoerdle.de/de`
+- About (EN): `https://hoerdle.de/en/about`
+- About (DE): `https://hoerdle.de/de/about`
+- Genre-Seiten: `https://hoerdle.de/en/Rock` (Beispiel)
+- Special-Seiten: `https://hoerdle.de/en/special/Weihnachtslieder` (Beispiel)
+
+### Schnelltest mit cURL:
+
+```bash
+# Teste Homepage
+curl -s https://hoerdle.de/en | grep -E "og:|twitter:" | head -10
+
+# Teste About-Seite
+curl -s https://hoerdle.de/de/about | grep -E "og:|twitter:" | head -10
+```
+
+## Erwartete Meta-Tags
+
+Die folgenden Meta-Tags sollten auf allen Seiten vorhanden sein:
+
+### Open Graph Tags:
+- `og:title` - Seitentitel
+- `og:description` - Seitenbeschreibung
+- `og:image` - Bild für Social Media (Standard: `/favicon.ico`)
+- `og:url` - Canonical URL
+- `og:type` - Typ (sollte "website" sein)
+- `og:site_name` - Name der Site
+- `og:locale` - Sprache (de/en)
+
+### Twitter Tags:
+- `twitter:card` - Card-Typ (sollte "summary_large_image" sein)
+- `twitter:title` - Titel
+- `twitter:description` - Beschreibung
+- `twitter:image` - Bild
+
+### Canonical & Alternates:
+- `<link rel="canonical">` - Canonical URL
+- `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="de">` - Deutsche Version
+- `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en">` - Englische Version
+- `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default">` - Standard-Version
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: Meta-Tags werden nicht angezeigt
+
+**Lösung:**
+1. Prüfe, ob die App läuft: `npm run dev`
+2. Prüfe Browser-Console auf Fehler
+3. Stelle sicher, dass `generateMetadata` in der Seite exportiert ist
+4. Prüfe, ob `lib/metadata.ts` korrekt importiert wird
+
+### Problem: Open Graph Image wird nicht angezeigt
+
+**Lösung:**
+1. Prüfe, ob das Bild unter `/favicon.ico` existiert (oder konfiguriertes OG-Image)
+2. Für bessere Ergebnisse: Erstelle ein dediziertes Open Graph Bild (1200x630px)
+3. Platziere es in `public/og-image.png`
+4. Setze in `.env`: `NEXT_PUBLIC_OG_IMAGE=/og-image.png`
+
+### Problem: Facebook zeigt alte Vorschau
+
+**Lösung:**
+1. Öffne Facebook Sharing Debugger
+2. Gib deine URL ein
+3. Klicke auf "Scraping erneut ausführen" (mehrfach, falls nötig)
+4. Facebook cached die Vorschau - Cache kann mehrere Stunden dauern
+
+### Problem: Domain-Erkennung funktioniert nicht
+
+**Lösung:**
+1. Prüfe `lib/seo.ts` - `getBaseUrl()` Funktion
+2. Stelle sicher, dass Request-Headers korrekt sind
+3. In Produktion: Prüfe, ob Proxy-Headers (`x-forwarded-host`) korrekt gesetzt sind
+
+## Open Graph Bild optimieren
+
+Für bessere Social Media Vorschauen solltest du ein dediziertes OG-Bild erstellen:
+
+**Empfohlene Größe:** 1200x630px
+**Format:** PNG oder JPG
+**Pfad:** `public/og-image.png`
+
+**Konfiguration:**
+```bash
+# In .env
+NEXT_PUBLIC_OG_IMAGE=/og-image.png
+```
+
+Dann wird dieses Bild in allen Open Graph Meta-Tags verwendet.

+# Integration Testing
+
+Hördle uses [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) for end-to-end (E2E) integration testing. These tests ensure that critical flows like gameplay, authentication, and admin management function correctly across different browsers.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the Playwright browsers installed:
+
+```bash
+npx playwright install
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Headless Mode (CI/CLI)
+
+To run all tests in headless mode (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit):
+
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+### UI Mode (Interactive)
+
+To run tests with a UI to inspect traces and watch execution:
+
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e:ui
+```
+
+### Specific Test File
+
+To run a specific test file:
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test tests/gameplay.spec.ts
+```
+
+### Specific Project (Browser)
+
+To run tests only on a specific browser (e.g., Chromium):
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test --project=chromium
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The Playwright configuration is located in `playwright.config.ts`. It sets up the base URL (default: `http://localhost:3000`) and the web server command to start the app if it's not running.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+*   **`ADMIN_PASSWORD`**: The tests assume the admin password is `'admin123'`. 
+    *   In `app/api/admin/login/route.ts`, the login logic has been enhanced to check if `ADMIN_PASSWORD` is a bcrypt hash (starts with `$2b$`) or plain text. 
+    *   For local testing, you can set `ADMIN_PASSWORD="admin123"` in your `.env` or `.env.local` (though the default fallback in the code also handles this).
+*   **Curator Credentials**: The mock Curator login page (`app/[locale]/curator/page.tsx`) mocks validation for testing.
+    *   Username: `elpatron`
+    *   Password: `example_password`
+
+## Test Structure
+
+Tests are located in the `tests/` directory:
+
+*   **`auth.spec.ts`**: Verifies public access and admin login flows.
+*   **`admin.spec.ts`**: Checks the Admin Dashboard, including access protection and visibility of sections (Dashboard, Daily Puzzles, etc.).
+*   **`curator.spec.ts`**: Verifies the Curator login form and authentication flows (valid/invalid credentials).
+*   **`gameplay.spec.ts`**: Tests the core game loop: loading the game, playing audio, interaction with the prompt, and submitting a guess.
+
+## Troubleshooting & Known Issues
+
+### Next.js Development Overlay (`nextjs-portal`)
+
+In development mode (`npm run dev`), Next.js injects an overlay (`<nextjs-portal>`) for hot reloading feedback. This overlay can sometimes intercept clicks intended for UI elements, causing tests to fail with "element is not clickable" or timeout errors.
+
+**Solution:** 
+We inject a CSS style in the `beforeEach` hook of our tests to hide this overlay:
+
+```typescript
+test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+    await page.addStyleTag({ content: 'nextjs-portal, #nextjs-dev-overlay, [data-nextjs-dev-overlay] { display: none !important; }' });
+});
+```
+
+### WebKit (Safari) Stability
+
+WebKit can be slower or more sensitive to timing in some environments. If tests fail on WebKit but pass on other browsers:
+1.  Try increasing the timeout in `playwright.config.ts`.
+2.  Use `await page.waitForTimeout(500)` or specific assertions like `await expect(page).toHaveURL(...)` to allow for transition times, as implemented in `tests/admin.spec.ts`.

+# Troubleshooting Guide
+
+## Application Error: "a server-side exception has occurred"
+
+Dieser Fehler tritt auf, wenn die Next.js-Anwendung auf dem Server einen Fehler hat.
+
+### ⚠️ Datenbank-Berechtigungen (wenn DB von anderem Server kopiert wurde)
+
+**Symptom**: Application Error nach dem Kopieren einer Datenbank von einem anderen Server
+
+**Ursache**: SQLite benötigt Schreibrechte auf:
+- Die Datenbankdatei selbst (`prod.db`)
+- Das Datenbankverzeichnis (für temporäre Dateien wie `-wal`, `-shm`)
+
+**Sofort-Lösung (auf dem Server ausführen)**:
+```bash
+# 1. Setze Berechtigungen für Datenbankverzeichnis und Datei
+chmod 775 ./data
+chmod 664 ./data/prod.db
+
+# 2. Falls temporäre SQLite-Dateien existieren, auch diese:
+chmod 664 ./data/*.db-wal 2>/dev/null || true
+chmod 664 ./data/*.db-shm 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# 3. Oder verwende das Fix-Skript:
+./scripts/fix-database-permissions.sh
+
+# 4. Container neu starten
+docker compose restart hoerdle
+
+# 5. Logs prüfen
+docker logs hoerdle --tail=50
+```
+
+**Warum passiert das?**
+- Wenn du eine Datenbankdatei von einem anderen Server kopierst, behält sie die ursprünglichen Berechtigungen
+- SQLite muss Schreibrechte haben, um zu funktionieren
+- Auch das Verzeichnis braucht Schreibrechte (für SQLite-WAL-Modus) 
+
+### Sofort-Diagnose (auf dem Server ausführen)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Container-Logs prüfen (die wichtigste Information!)
+docker logs hoerdle --tail=100
+
+# 2. Container-Status prüfen
+docker ps | grep hoerdle
+
+# 3. Prüfe ob Datenbank existiert
+docker exec hoerdle ls -lh /app/data/prod.db
+
+# 4. Prüfe ob Server auf Port 3000 antwortet (intern)
+docker exec hoerdle curl -f http://localhost:3000/api/daily
+
+# 5. Prüfe Health Check
+docker inspect hoerdle --format='{{json .State.Health}}' | python3 -m json.tool
+```
+
+### Häufige Ursachen und Lösungen
+
+#### 1. Datenbankfehler / Migrationen fehlgeschlagen
+
+**Symptom**: Logs zeigen Prisma-Fehler oder "database locked"
+
+**Lösung**:
+```bash
+# Container-Logs prüfen
+docker logs hoerdle | grep -i "migration\|database\|prisma"
+
+# Falls Migrationen fehlgeschlagen sind:
+docker compose restart hoerdle
+
+# Bei persistierenden Problemen: Datenbank-Backup prüfen
+ls -lh ./backups/
+```
+
+#### 2. Container läuft nicht oder ist crashed
+
+**Symptom**: Container existiert nicht oder Status zeigt "Exited"
+
+**Lösung**:
+```bash
+# Container-Status prüfen
+docker ps -a | grep hoerdle
+
+# Container neu starten
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Falls Container nicht startet, Logs prüfen
+docker logs hoerdle --tail=200
+```
+
+#### 3. Caddy kann Container nicht erreichen
+
+**Symptom**: 502 Bad Gateway oder "connection refused" in Caddy-Logs
+
+**Lösung**:
+```bash
+# Prüfe ob hoerdle Container läuft
+docker ps | grep hoerdle
+
+# Prüfe Netzwerk
+docker network inspect hoerdle_default
+
+# Prüfe Caddy-Logs
+docker logs hoerdle-caddy --tail=50
+
+# Stelle sicher, dass Caddyfile Port 3000 verwendet (nicht 3010!)
+grep "reverse_proxy" Caddyfile
+```
+
+#### 4. Fehlende Umgebungsvariablen
+
+**Symptom**: Logs zeigen undefined variables
+
+**Lösung**:
+```bash
+# Prüfe wichtige Umgebungsvariablen
+docker exec hoerdle env | grep -E "DATABASE_URL|NODE_ENV"
+
+# Prüfe .env Datei (falls vorhanden)
+cat .env | grep DATABASE_URL
+```
+
+#### 5. Build-Fehler oder fehlerhafte Dateien
+
+**Symptom**: Container startet, aber App crasht sofort
+
+**Lösung**:
+```bash
+# Container komplett neu bauen
+docker compose down
+docker compose build --no-cache
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Prüfe Build-Logs
+docker compose build 2>&1 | tee build.log
+```
+
+### Detaillierte Log-Analyse
+
+```bash
+# Alle Fehler in Logs finden
+docker logs hoerdle 2>&1 | grep -i -E "error|exception|fatal|panic" | tail -50
+
+# Prisma-spezifische Fehler
+docker logs hoerdle 2>&1 | grep -i prisma | tail -20
+
+# Next.js-spezifische Fehler
+docker logs hoerdle 2>&1 | grep -i "next\|react" | tail -20
+```
+
+### Netzwerk-Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Teste Verbindung von Caddy zu Hördle
+docker exec hoerdle-caddy wget -O- http://hoerdle:3000/api/daily
+
+# Prüfe alle Container im Netzwerk
+docker network inspect hoerdle_default --format='{{range .Containers}}{{.Name}}: {{.IPv4Address}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'
+```
+
+### Datenbank-Debugging
+
+```bash
+# Prüfe Datenbank-Integrität
+docker exec hoerdle npx prisma db pull
+
+# Prüfe Datenbank-Struktur
+docker exec hoerdle npx prisma studio &
+# (dann Browser öffnen - erfordert X11 forwarding oder lokalen Zugriff)
+```
+
+### Quick-Fix: Vollständiger Neustart
+
+Wenn nichts anderes hilft:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Backup erstellen
+cp ./data/prod.db ./backups/prod_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).db
+
+# 2. Container stoppen
+docker compose down
+
+# 3. Container neu starten
+docker compose up -d
+
+# 4. Logs beobachten
+docker compose logs -f
+```
+
+## Bei weiterem Bedarf

+# White Labeling Guide
+
+This application is designed to be easily white-labeled. You can customize the branding, colors, and configuration without modifying the core code.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The application is configured via environment variables. You can set these in a `.env` or `.env.local` file.
+
+### Branding
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME` | The name of the application. | `Hördle` |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_DESCRIPTION` | The description used in metadata. | `Daily music guessing game...` |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_DOMAIN` | The domain name (used for sharing). | `hoerdle.de` |
+
+### Analytics (Plausible)
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT_SRC` | The URL of the Plausible script. | `https://plausible.example.com/js/script.js` |
+
+**Hinweis:** Die Domain wird automatisch aus der Request-Domain erkannt. Beide Domains (`hoerdle.de` und `hördle.de`) werden automatisch getrackt.
+
+### Credits
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CREDITS_ENABLED` | Enable/disable footer credits (`true`/`false`). | `true` |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CREDITS_TEXT` | Text before the link. | `Vibe coded with ☕ and 🍺 by` |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CREDITS_LINK_TEXT` | Text of the link. | `@elpatron@digitalcourage.social` |
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_CREDITS_LINK_URL` | URL of the link. | `https://digitalcourage.social/@elpatron` |
+
+## Theming
+
+The application uses CSS variables for theming. You can override these variables in your own CSS file or by modifying `app/globals.css`.
+
+### Key Colors
+
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `--primary` | Main action color (buttons). | `#000000` |
+| `--secondary` | Secondary actions. | `#4b5563` |
+| `--accent` | Accent color. | `#667eea` |
+| `--success` | Success state (correct guess). | `#22c55e` |
+| `--danger` | Error state (wrong guess). | `#ef4444` |
+| `--warning` | Warning state (stars). | `#ffc107` |
+| `--muted` | Muted backgrounds. | `#f3f4f6` |
+
+### Example: Red Theme
+
+To create a red-themed version, add this to your CSS:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --primary: #dc2626;
+  --accent: #ef4444;
+  --accent-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg, #ef4444 0%, #b91c1c 100%);
+}
+```
+
+## Assets
+
+To replace the logo and icons:
+1.  Replace `public/favicon.ico`.
+2.  Replace `public/icon.png` (if it exists).
+3.  Update `app/manifest.ts` if you have custom icon paths.
+3.  Update `app/manifest.ts` if you have custom icon paths.
+
+## Docker Deployment
+
+When deploying with Docker, please note that **Next.js inlines `NEXT_PUBLIC_` environment variables at build time**.
+
+This means you cannot simply change the environment variables in `docker-compose.yml` and restart the container to change the branding. You must **rebuild the image**.
+
+### Using Docker Compose
+
+1.  Create a `.env` file with your custom configuration:
+    ```bash
+    NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME="My Music Game"
+    NEXT_PUBLIC_THEME_COLOR="#ff0000"
+    # ... other variables
+    ```
+
+2.  Ensure your `docker-compose.yml` passes these variables as build arguments (already configured in `docker-compose.example.yml`):
+    ```yaml
+    services:
+      hoerdle:
+        build:
+          context: .
+          args:
+            NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME: ${NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME}
+            # ...
+    ```
+
+3.  Build and start the container:
+    ```bash
+    docker compose up --build -d
+    ```
