+- **RLS (Row-Level Security):** DISABLED on family_members and children tables (was blocking INSERTs)
+- **App-level security:** All routes use `requireFamily()` and `requireOwnership()` checks
+- **This is secure because:** All API routes validate session before returning data
+- **To re-enable RLS later:** Add proper INSERT bypass policy, keep RLS for SELECT only
