`POST /player/shard/account` and its staff twin have answered 500 for every
caller since slice 1: the ported controller called
`settings.isGameAccountSignupEnabled()`, which is a member of core's settings
model and not of `ctx.settings` — three functions, deliberately. The call was
`undefined(...)`, the TypeError landed in the catch, and no test reached the
branch.
The gate now lives on the side that uses it (`utils/gameSignup.js`), which is
also where the policy belongs: the setting's own help text names Bridge.cfg and
says the shard's SignupMode must agree, and core cannot own a sentence about a
UO shard. The admin field moves to this module's Shard page and the derived
flag onto `/public/shard/features`, beside the visibility flags the same
callers already read.
The setting KEY is unchanged. Renaming `game_account_signup` would silently
reset every configured instance to `disabled` on upgrade, with players
reporting broken signup as the only clue — the same grandfathering as
`spawn_atlas_servuo_path` and the seven stream ids.
Both regression tests were shown to fail against the bug before it was fixed.

The data half of the extraction: 8 model directories, 13 utils, the shard
stream catalog and the 27-table schema fragment with its purge.
server/core.js is what makes the port a one-line import change per file rather
than a signature change per function. Ported code requires its dependencies at
file scope -- `const { query } = require('../../core')` -- which runs before
register() has been called and before any ctx exists. So every member is a
stable function that resolves ctx when CALLED, and nothing may be destructured
off ctx at init either, because core is free to hand over a getter.
Two helpers are vendored rather than taken from ctx, and the line between them
is the point. utils/excerpt.js is core's deriveExcerpt -- nine lines of pure
text handling. Core's sanitiser next to it was NOT copied: a second copy of a
security control diverges silently the moment either is fixed. announceLinks.js
vendors legError and articleUrl the same way, but baseUrl could not be: core's
reads APP_BASE_URL, and §2.7 forbids a module reading core's environment, so it
comes off ctx.site.baseUrl.
The schema fragment is core's 27 shard_*/uo_link_* statements, verbs CREATE,
ALTER and UPDATE only, every CREATE TABLE guarded. Two of its tables carry a
foreign key INTO users, which is allowed and is why the replay order matters --
core's schema is in place before this runs. The reverse never occurs and must
not: it would make core unable to boot without a module installed.
One real port bug caught by the integration run, not by tests: the atlas art
map resolved `../../../db/data`, which pointed at core's tree when this file
lived there and points outside server/ now. A path that happens to resolve is
exactly what survives a green suite, because the absent-file branch returns {}
and looks like the normal case.
