`the manifest and the module's declared mounts agree` was written in phase 1 with
its own exception named in a comment: when `admin.users.detail` arrives, its
routes live on a resource core owns and the test must grow the exception
deliberately rather than let a route outside every declared mount arrive
unnoticed. This is that growth, and the test did its job — it failed on the first
run after the slot was filled.
A route is now legitimate if it is under a declared prefix OR under the mount of
a slot `module.json` declares, and a declared slot that contributes no route
fails too: core never checks that a declared slot was filled (`checkDeclared`
covers `mounts` alone), so this is the only place an exception widening the check
for nothing is noticed. Verified by pointing the slot mount at a path nothing
serves and watching it fail.

R1's identity link, site-side, and R13's first extension slot. A player types
/link in game, the plugin hands them a six-character code privately, and they
enter it here; the site records who owns which Steam account, and an operator
sees that on core's own `/admin/users/:id` page.
**The site is the author of record and the game holds nothing.** There is no
per-account store in Rust that survives a wipe, and phase 7 needs the site
authoritative anyway — it pushes permissions INTO the game keyed by Steam id. A
copy in the game would be a second thing to reconcile every wipe, for no question
it could answer better.
## D24 — a code is minted by ONE server, so every server is asked
Nothing in six characters says where it came from. The fleet is asked in turn and
the first `link.ok` wins; the others answer `unknown` and nothing happens there,
because a code is only spent at the server that actually holds it. Asking the
player to pick was rejected: a wrong pick would come back indistinguishable from
a wrong code, and that is the one refusal which must not be ambiguous.
**"Every reachable server refused" is not the same answer as "a server was
unreachable."** Collapsing them tells a player whose server is down that their
code is wrong — so they run /link again on that same server and are told the same
thing for as long as it stays down. `unsure` is that case, and it says to try
again rather than to fetch a new code.
## D23 — a Steam id another account holds is refused, never moved
The primary key is `steam_id`, and it is load-bearing rather than tidy: phase 7
grants permissions against a link and phase 13 hangs entitlements off it, so a
silent move is an account takeover performed by typing six characters. The
refusal names the holder, because the advice is unusable without it. The INSERT
is a plain INSERT for the same reason — `ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE` here would BE
that move — and the duplicate-key error is the refusal for the race the check
above cannot close.
The way out is `/unlink` in game, which reaches the site off the ingest feed
rather than through a route (the plugin has no link to delete). D25 adds the
other way out: staff can sever a link from the admin panel, for a player who
cannot reach that Steam account in game.
## The slot, and the hole it found in this repo's own generator
`admin.users.detail` is declared in `module.json` AND registered in `index.js`
AND filled by the chunk — three places, because the server half and the client
half are different registrations that share one name.
`swaggerFragment.js` knew only about tier routers, so the two routes under
`/admin/users/:id` were generated by nothing: a fragment that was internally
consistent and described two routes fewer than the module serves. A slot's mount
is core's and cannot be derived here, so it is a fourth constant beside
`TIER_BASE` — held to account by the frozen-manifest job, which was verified to
catch exactly this by removing the two paths and watching it fail.
## Smaller things worth knowing
- **Core's `useAsync` has no `refresh`.** A counter in the deps is how a page
re-reads after its own write; it blanks while it re-reads, which is right here
and is exactly what made it wrong for a poll.
- **Every player-portal nav row needs an `icon`** — core draws one on every row,
and the client suite says so. This module had no icons file until now, because
the public header is text buttons.
- The two new frame kinds are STAFF-only. Neither carries a code, but both name a
Steam id beside a website account's activity, and that join is not a public
fact about what happened on a server.
- The link code route carries its own rate limiter rather than core's
`accountChangeLimiter`: this is guessing somebody else's secret, not changing
your own password, and a shared counter would let one policy set the other.
Protocol 3 on all three declaration sites; 17 new tests, 136 green.
