API Proxy & Frontend Integration with Authentication & UI Updates

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

Successfully debugging API authentication issues, ensuring secure script access, and making the frontend update dynamically without breaking the setup.

Plan a more structured debugging process to avoid going in circles, implement better logging from the start, and optimize API key handling earlier to prevent deployment headaches

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

API key not forwarding correctly, causing 403 Forbidden errors and breaking the quantity update. Debugged request headers, ensured the frontend sent the key, and verified API proxy was forwarding it properly.

"Add to Cart" message wasn't appearing consistently. Ensured event listeners were properly attached
