# T04: Added ProtectedRoute component, CreatorDashboard with sidebar nav, CreatorSettings with profile/password forms, protected routes in App.tsx, and auth-aware header nav

**Added ProtectedRoute component, CreatorDashboard with sidebar nav, CreatorSettings with profile/password forms, protected routes in App.tsx, and auth-aware header nav**

## What Happened

Created ProtectedRoute that checks isAuthenticated and redirects to /login?returnTo=... when unauthenticated. Built CreatorDashboard with two-column layout (sidebar + content) using NavLink for active state, with placeholder cards for future analytics. Built CreatorSettings reusing the same SidebarNav, with profile (display_name editable, email read-only) and password change sections calling authUpdateProfile(). Restructured App.tsx by extracting AppShell so useAuth() works inside AuthProvider, added AuthNav component showing user name + dashboard link + logout when authenticated or login link when not. Updated Login.tsx to honor returnTo param. All CSS uses modules with existing dark theme tokens.

## Verification

All task and slice verification checks pass: npm run build exits 0 with zero TypeScript errors, all required files exist, ProtectedRoute and useAuth grep checks pass in App.tsx, backend model/auth/schema imports succeed.

## Verification Evidence

| 6 | `cd backend && python -c "from models import User, InviteCode, UserRole; print('OK')"` | 0 | ✅ pass | 500ms |
| 7 | `cd backend && python -c "from auth import hash_password, verify_password, create_access_token, decode_access_token; print('OK')"` | 0 | ✅ pass | 500ms |
| 8 | `cd backend && python -c "from schemas import RegisterRequest, LoginRequest, TokenResponse, UserResponse, UpdateProfileRequest; print('OK')"` | 0 | ✅ pass | 500ms |


## Deviations

Extracted AppShell from App to allow useAuth() inside AuthProvider. AuthNav added as separate component rather than inline.

## Known Issues

None.
