Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to This PR expands streak tracking across more activity types, but the current implementation can award streak progress for ordinary DSA updates, lose newer streak state under concurrent requests, and apply flashcard learning changes twice after a failed retry.

Make learning and streak updates atomic.
Both handlers persist learning state before recordActivity. If streak persistence fails, the handlers return HTTP 500 after the learning update commits. Retrying a flashcard review can apply the SM-2 update twice.
Wrap each operation in a Mongoose transaction and pass the session to both writes. The duplicate-key fallback in saveProgress also returns success without calling recordActivity.

Count activity only for a newly completed DSA problem.
recordActivity runs after every successful progress save. A request that only follows a sheet, changes percentage, or repeats prior completion data can extend the streak and unlock achievements without solving a new problem.
Detect a completedTopics transition from incomplete to complete before recording activity. Apply the same eligibility check and activity update after the duplicate-key retry succeeds at Lines 107-126.

Serialize streak transitions across UTC days.
recordActivity reads a User document, computes streak fields, and saves stale values. The schema does not enable optimistic concurrency. If a delayed request for day N saves after a request for day N+1, it can restore the older lastPracticeDate. The next activity can then detect a false gap and reset the streak. Use a conditional atomic update or a retryable transaction with conflict detection.

Refresh UserContext after session creation
createSession updates the persisted currentStreak, but CreateSessionForm does not update or refresh UserContext. The dashboard badge therefore remains stale after creating a session.

Closes #1941
Summary
Adds a unified daily activity streak system. Previously, streak fields (
currentStreak,longestStreak,lastPracticeDate) existed on the User model and were only incremented when a session was created, with duplicated reset logic scattered acrossauthController.jsandachievementController.js. This PR extracts that logic into a sharedbackend/utils/streakTracker.jsutility, extends streak tracking to flashcard reviews and DSA sheet progress updates (not just sessions), and adds a 🔥 streak badge to the dashboard so users can see their current streak.Type of Change
How Has This Been Tested?
