Summary

The "Try the demo" button was hidden in #578 (disable demo for now). The likely
root cause was the JWT token expiring repeatedly, requiring manual rotation.

The token was subsequently updated with a far-future expiry in commit da834ce
("one more time"), eliminating the need for manual rotation going forward.

The demo account is active and the experience works end-to-end: login, dashboard,
drive list, and map view all function correctly — useful for contributors without
a comma device, as mentioned in the README.

PR #586 noted this as a "separate bug, left for follow-up."

The demo button was hidden in commaai#578 because the JWT token kept expiring
and required manual rotation. The token was subsequently updated with a
far-future expiry (year 2299) in commit da834ce, which removes the need
for manual rotation going forward.

The demo account is working and provides a useful way for contributors
without a comma device to explore and test the app locally.

unfortunately, we removed demo mode for now, but we may add it back in the future.

thanks for your PR though, we appreciate it!
