Fixes #17 Implements a backward-compatible fix for the editcarinfo.php endpoint. The script now accepts either ID or �ssetID as the identifier for updates, prioritizing ID. This resolves the contract mismatch where the Flutter client was sending �ssetID while the backend expected the primary key ID. The endpoint now also uses prepared statements and returns a standardized JSON response.
Reviewer's GuideAligns the CarInfo edit backend endpoint with the expected API contract (ID or assetID, structured JSON, explicit HTTP status codes), tightens validation and error handling, updates the release workflow to Java 17, and introduces standard community and contribution documentation and GitHub templates.

Hey - I've found 4 issues, and left some high level feedback:
- The new editcarinfo endpoint dropped the
seyruseferdateYYYY-MM-DDformat validation that existed before; if clients or downstream code rely on this constraint, consider reintroducing a simple format check to avoid silently accepting invalid dates. - For the
No fields to update were provided.case you currently return a 500 unless a code was set earlier; this appears to be a client error, so explicitly setting a 4xx status (e.g., 400) before throwing would make the API contract clearer and error handling more accurate.

## Overall Comments
- The new editcarinfo endpoint dropped the `seyruseferdate` `YYYY-MM-DD` format validation that existed before; if clients or downstream code rely on this constraint, consider reintroducing a simple format check to avoid silently accepting invalid dates.
- For the `No fields to update were provided.` case you currently return a 500 unless a code was set earlier; this appears to be a client error, so explicitly setting a 4xx status (e.g., 400) before throwing would make the API contract clearer and error handling more accurate.

**issue (bug_risk):** The previous `seyruseferdate` format validation has been removed, which can allow invalid dates into the DB.
The new loop now treats `seyruseferdate` as a plain string and no longer enforces the `YYYY-MM-DD` format that was previously checked. If the DB or downstream logic assumes a valid date, this can introduce bad data and hard-to-track bugs. Please add a specific validation branch for `seyruseferdate` inside the loop to preserve the original guarantee.

**suggestion (bug_risk):** Client-side input issues like “no fields to update” currently end up as HTTP 500 instead of a 4xx.
Because we throw here without setting an HTTP status, this case will be returned as 500. Since this is a client error, please set an appropriate 4xx status (e.g. `http_response_code(400);`) before throwing, consistent with how missing identifiers are handled, so clients can distinguish bad requests from real server errors.

if (empty($setClauses)) {
http_response_code(400);

**🚨 issue (security):** Returning raw exception messages in the API response may leak internal details and SQL errors.
Some exceptions here include low-level messages like `SQL statement preparation failed: ...` or `SQL statement execution failed: ...`. Sending `$e->getMessage()` directly to clients can expose internal DB details. Instead, map exceptions to generic user-facing messages (e.g. "Internal server error") and log the detailed message server-side, only returning specific messages when they are known-safe (such as validation errors).

Missing date format validation for the 'seyruseferdate' field. The original code validated that this field matches the YYYY-MM-DD format when provided. This validation has been removed, which could allow invalid date formats to be inserted into the database.
Other carinfo endpoints (addcarinfo.php and addfullcarinfo.php) include this validation. For consistency and data integrity, you should add the validation back before processing the field.

This code concatenates $connNow->error and $stmt->error into exception messages that are then returned directly to clients via $response['message'], which can leak internal database details and query structure. An attacker can deliberately trigger SQL errors (for example by sending malformed or out-of-range input) to enumerate schema information and error states useful for further attacks. Instead, log detailed database errors only on the server and return a generic error message to the client while preserving appropriate HTTP status codes.
