 - Neither hook can mint a session or change who is signed in.
 
+### When a member deletes their account
+
+A member can delete their own site account, and staff can delete one from the
+admin panel (`MODULE_API_VERSION` 1.20.0). Core removes the row, and every table
+with a foreign key to it follows: `ON DELETE CASCADE` for what was theirs alone,
+`SET NULL` for what they made that others still read. Your module hears about it
+once, first:
+
+```js
+api.onUserDeleting(async ({ userId, deletedBy }) => {}) // deletedBy: 'self' | 'staff'
+```
+
+- **It runs before the row goes**, so you can still read what the person holds.
+- **A cascade is not an unlink.** If your game holds anything for the person, such
+  as a link it reports back on every login or a grant it enforces, undo it here
+  through your module's own unlink, the same call a player's own unlink makes. That
+  way the game sees exactly what it would see if they had unlinked by hand. Clean up
+  any data you keep without a foreign key here too.
+- **It cannot stop the deletion.** A throw is logged, and so is no answer within
+  10 s, and the account is deleted anyway, because a person who asks to be deleted
+  must be. So a module that talks to a game needs **a record of what is left and a
+  retry**: write down what you are about to undo *before* the first call, keep what
+  the game could not take (it was down, or it refused), and try again when the game
+  comes back. That record cannot have a foreign key to `users`, because it outlives
+  the user it names.
+- **Your hook keeps running past the 10 s.** Core stops waiting, not your code, so
+  the user may already be gone when your last call finishes. Anything you write
+  afterwards must not need the row: an activity entry, for instance, names the id in
+  its `detail`, not its `userId`.
+- **Every module that holds per-person game state should register it.** Declaring it
+  needs `coreApi` `^1.20.0`, because an older core has no `api.onUserDeleting`, and
+  calling a missing function throws during `register()`.
+
+### When members report, hide or block what your game shows
+
+If your module shows what players wrote, such as chat from the game, members can
+report it, hide it for themselves, and block whoever wrote it, and staff can hide
+it for everyone (`MODULE_API_VERSION` 1.21.0, [`USER_SAFETY.md`][safety]). Core
+keeps the Reports queue and each member's blocks and hides. You keep the content,
+and you tell core three things about it:
+
+```js
+api.registerReportTargets([{ id: 'mygame.chat', label: 'Chat line', snapshot, hide, unhide }])
+api.registerGameIdentities([{ kind: 'steam', label: 'Steam account', ownersOf }])
+// and, from your own per-reader routes: ctx.safety.forViewer(userId), ctx.safety.staffAmong(userIds)
+```
+
+- **`snapshot({ targetId, viewer })` answers for that reader, and `null` covers two
+  cases.** An item that is gone and an item they could not have seen get the same
+  `null`, so core gives them the same 404. Otherwise a report or a block would tell
+  anybody who said line 4410 on a server whose player list is hidden from them. Run
+  the same visibility check your page runs.
+- **Name the author by their site account when they have one.** `author.userId` is
+  the linked account and `author.identity` is the game id. `ownersOf(ids)` answers
+  which ids are linked. A block then lands on the account, and only an unlinked id
+  is blocked as itself. Core rewrites that block as an account block once the id
+  links, so you never have to.
+- **Filter on the server, in your query.** A route that shows the content to
+  signed-in readers calls `ctx.safety.forViewer(userId)` and leaves out what that
+  reader blocked or hid. Do it in the `WHERE` clause, so a page of 100 is still 100
+  long, and keep the route per-viewer (`Cache-Control: private`), or a shared cache
+  hands one reader's filter to the next. If your page offers *Block*, mark each item
+  with whether it can be blocked. Use `ctx.safety.staffAmong` for that, because
+  staff cannot be blocked.
+- **Hide for everyone is a flag you keep.** `hide` is called from core's queue.
+  Leave the item out for everyone but staff, and show it to staff marked, with an
+  undo where it lives. Core never calls `unhide` itself.
+- **Each call has 5 s.** A module that does not answer is a 503 to the member,
+  never a silent success. Declaring any of it needs `coreApi` `^1.21.0`.
+
+Module-Rust's `server/safety.js` is a complete worked example: chat lines, Steam
+ids and the feed's own filter.
+
+### On a public demo site
+
+A site can run as a public demo (`MODULE_API_VERSION` 1.18.0). Anybody signs in with
+published logins, nothing destructive is allowed, and the site is wiped and seeded
+again every couple of hours. It is the same image with one flag set,
+`DEMO_MODE=true`. Core locks its own routes; yours are yours to declare, and three
+members are for that. With the flag off none of them changes anything, except that
+`demoLocks` is still validated.
+
+```json
+"demoLocks": [
+  { "method": "PUT",    "path": "/admin/mygame/servers/:id" },
+  { "method": "DELETE", "path": "/admin/mygame/servers/:id" }
+]
+```
+
+(The template has no write routes, so this is a shape rather than one of its files.)
+
+- **`demoLocks` in `module.json` lists your write routes that the demo refuses.**
+  Core answers a match `403 { code: 'DEMO_LOCKED', message }` before your handler
+  runs, the same body it gives for its own locks, so the site's one toast explains
+  it. Writes only (`POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`), in your routers' own `:param`
+  syntax with an optional trailing `/*`, and under one of your declared `mounts`.
+  **It is validated on every boot, demo or not**, so a wrong entry fails on your
+  machine rather than only on the demo.
+- **Two refusals reach your routes without being listed.** On a demo, core refuses
+  any request with a multipart body, and any write whose JSON body carries a
+  `data:` URI in any string (a pasted image is an upload by another name), with the
+  same `403` body. An upload route of yours is locked on a demo whether or not
+  `demoLocks` names it.
+- **`ctx.demoMode` is for a lock a route list cannot express**, one that depends on
+  what is in the request rather than which URL it went to. The Rust module refuses a
+  console command by its first word, and a plugin's config file by the plugin that
+  owns it. Check it in your handler and answer with the same `403` body. It is also
+  how you hide the rare read that must never be shown on a demo, such as a file
+  holding credentials; `demoLocks` takes writes only.
+- **`api.onDemoSeed(fn)` writes your rows into the demo's fresh database.** The seed
+  calls `fn(data, { accounts })`: `data` is your section of the fixture
+  (`modules.<id>`, with every `"$env:NAME"` string already replaced) and `accounts`
+  maps each demo username to its user id. Core never writes your tables. **Upsert,
+  never insert**: the seed may run more than once on one database, and core seeds
+  its own content only the first time but calls your hook on every run. A fixture section for a module with no hook fails the seed, and so does a
+  hook that throws.
+- **Lock at the server, never in the UI.** A request sent with `curl`, or from an
+  old app build, must be refused exactly like a click. Your pages may explain a lock;
+  they must not hide or disable a control as the way of locking it.
+- **Declaring `demoLocks` needs `coreApi` `^1.18.0`**, because an older core rejects
+  the unknown key. Using only the other two should declare it as well: an older core
+  has no `onDemoSeed`, and its `ctx.demoMode` is `undefined`, which reads as "not a
+  demo".
+
+An event step the demo should refuse when it is saved is
+[chapter 5](05-events.md)'s `demoRefuses`.

+**`demoRefuses` keeps a step off a public demo** (MODULE_API 1.19.0). A demo site
+([chapter 2](02-website-module.md)) lets anybody author an event, and some steps must
+never be saved there: the Rust module refuses a console command that would stop the
