cfd1cb3c3c feat(engagement): let a module ship its own templates and rules (Phase 11b)
Phase 11a declared 24 triggers and stopped where the plan said it would. Standing
11b up found that the next sentence — "24 rules, all enabled = 0; bespoke template
bodies" — described work with no mechanism to land in: templateSeeds.js and
coreRules.js are core files with core arrays in them, and there was no
registerTemplates or registerRules anywhere in registries.js.

So a module could say what an event's payload was and could never say what the
mail should read like. That is tolerable for one trigger and not for a catalogue,
and it is decisive once the bodies carry domain prose core must not contain (§5.2).

Adds api.registerEngagementSeeds({ templates, ruleGroups }) — MODULE_API 1.9.0.
The module supplies data; core keeps seedOne's customized skip, its seed_version
comparison and the block registry's validation, which is the whole argument for a
registry over the ctx.query a module already holds: a copy of any of those living
outside engagement/ would drift the first time core improved the original, and the
drift would surface as a mail somebody already received.

The two halves behave differently, deliberately:

  - Templates re-ensure on every boot, so a bumped seedVersion reaches every
    deployment except the ones where an operator edited that row.
  - Rule groups are ONE-SHOT, each under its own settings guard — re-ensuring
    would resurrect a rule an operator deleted and reset one they enabled. This is
    11a's seed-key finding stated as an API rather than as a warning: a rule
    appended to an existing group reaches fresh installs only, and one that must
    reach stamped deployments takes a new group key.

Three prohibitions, each a shipped mistake that would only surface as mail: a
seeded rule is always enabled = 0 (Q3's invariant, ignored rather than refused so
a typo cannot take a module offline at boot); a module may not mark a template
protected; and a rule may only name its own trigger ids and its own or core's
template keys, with template keys namespaced because the key column is UNIQUE.

Runs from modules/lifecycle.js boot() rather than seedDefaults(), and that is
forced rather than chosen: server.js seeds before it requires app.js, and
requiring app.js is what runs the loader — at the moment core seeds, no module has
registered anything. Placed after the installed_modules reconcile (so a disabled
or failed module is skipped) and before the onBoot dispatch (so a module warming a
cache may assume its rules exist).

16 new tests; 1549 core tests green; check:modules clean.

24a3cd85b3 feat(engagement): the in-app channel, core and web (engagement Phase 7)
All checks were successful

PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 3m27s
PR Checks / bot-tests (pull_request) Successful in 8m36s
ENGAGEMENT.md Phase 7. `user_notifications`, the in-app DeliveryChannel, the
four inbox routes, and the web surface — plus the two pieces earlier phases
assigned here that Phase 7's own acceptance line omits.

Four decisions settled by the org lead before any code:

1. `inapp` defaults to `instant` — the only channel that does. Push wakes a
   device somebody is holding and email leaves the building, so both are asked
   for; an inbox item is a row on a page the user chose to open. Left `off` the
   channel ships dead.
2. The phase takes push's `deliver` (§2603) and the web per-channel preferences
   screen (Phase 3's as-built), neither of which its own bullets mention.
3. The inbox takes `/auth/me/notifications` and `/account/notifications`; the
   preferences screen moves to `…/settings`. The plain word belongs to the
   content, which is what the bell opens.
4. `ctx.inbox.push` honours the user's in-app preference when `triggerId` names
   a registered trigger, and writes when it does not.

Server
- `user_notifications` + `model/userNotifications/`. The dedupe UNIQUE is scoped
  to the USER, narrower than the outbox's `(rule, user, channel)`: an inbox has
  no channel dimension, so two rows for one event would be one item shown twice.
- `engagement/inappChannel.js` — renders by block ROLE (first heading → title,
  first button → url, the rest → body) and inserts. `pushChannel.js` — a
  content-free `{stream, ref}` tickle whose ref deep-links the inbox row.
- `engine.liveChannels` orders `inapp` first (`CHANNEL_ORDER`) so that ref
  resolves on the first sweep. An ordering, not a dependency.
- `templates.renderInappByKey` + `resolveTemplate` extracted from `renderByKey`,
  so both channels take the same fallback chain.
- `inapp.event` seed → seedVersion 2: it named `body`/`url`, which nothing
  supplies. Renamed to the structural vocabulary the projection fills in.
- `utils/userNotificationsPrune.js` — nightly, READ items only, horizon in
  `settings.user_notifications_retain_days` (default 90).
- `GET /auth/me/notifications`, `…/unread-count`, `POST …/:id/read`,
  `POST …/read-all`. Swagger + route manifest + four component schemas.

Web
- `NotificationBell` in all three headers, polling its badge once a minute and
  pausing while the tab is hidden. `PlayerInbox` at `/account/notifications`.
- The preferences screen becomes a channel matrix over
  `/auth/me/notifications/channels` — a strict superset of the push-only stream
  list it replaces. The two legacy endpoints are untouched, so the shipped
  Android app keeps its wire shape.
- Staff get the same two screens at `/admin/notifications…`: `RequirePlayer`
  keeps them out of `/account`, so without this the inbox was unreachable for
  every non-player account. `lib/notificationPaths.js` is the one mapping.

Verified: 28 new server tests (5 of them against a real MariaDB, for the three
index/statement properties that are a server contract rather than a reading of
this code) + 3 client. Server suite green, client 327 green. A live rig walked
the whole path: two rules on one event produced three outbox rows and exactly
one inbox item, the tickle carried `ref: notification:2`, and the retention
sweep dropped an aged read row while keeping an equally aged unread one.

563199a096 feat(modules): event triggers, audiences and the ceiling lattice (engagement Phase 2)
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-tests (pull_request) Successful in 25s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 26s

The contract half of the engagement system: a module (and core) can DECLARE an
event with a payload contract and fire it. Nothing delivers yet — `emit`
validates, logs and stops, and Phase 4 replaces that log line with the engine.

`api.registerEventTriggers` and `api.registerAudiences` ride the existing
stage()/apply() validate-then-commit discipline, so a registrant that throws
halfway leaves nothing behind. `ctx.events.emit` is fire-and-forget and binds
the owner from the calling module — a module fires its own triggers and no one
else's. `ctx.inbox.push` is present and throws until Phase 7, the shape 1.6.0
settled on for a member that arrives a phase late.

MODULE_API_VERSION 1.7.0 on both halves. Additions only; module-uo's
`coreApi: "^1.3.0"` still resolves.

Three design decisions, approved by the org lead before any code:

ONE NAMESPACE for trigger ids and notification-stream ids (ENGAGEMENT.md §7.2,
against the recommendation in the text). A trigger is a payload contract
attached to an id that may also carry a subscription toggle, so an id has
exactly one owner across both facets, checked in both directions. Core's five
trigger ids ARE its five stream ids, so the same-owner upgrade case is
exercised on every boot rather than only by a module. It keeps
notification_channel_prefs single-keyed in Phase 3, where two namespaces would
have forced a `kind` discriminator into its primary key.

Two knock-on effects appeared only once it was implemented. The id grammar had
to be RELAXED to admit `_` inside a segment — §4.3's own worked example is
`uo.house.idoc_warning`, and two grammars over one namespace would mean an id
legal as a trigger and illegal as the stream it is the same event as. And the
seven grandfathered `uo.*` ids had to share their legacy allowlist with
triggers, because under one namespace `idoc.warning` is a single id. The push
catalog is untouched either way: allStreams() still serves the stream facet
only, so the shipped Android client sees exactly what it saw before.

THE CEILING LATTICE (G24), which the plan named everywhere and defined nowhere.
It is containment, not size: everyone ⊃ authenticated ⊃ {subscribers, members,
staff, owner}, with the four leaves mutually incomparable. The flat total order
the plan's wording invites would let a `staff`-ceilinged trigger be given an
`owner` audience — a rule that mails cheat detection to the player it detected.
Fewer people is not less exposure. Two incomparable ceilings have no meet at
all, so a composition is refused rather than guessed; union-widens is the
intuitive implementation and it is the wrong one.

`kind: 'event' | 'scheduled'` is declarable now and no evaluator exists (§7.1
Q6). Registration accepts `scheduled` and emit refuses to fire one, so `kind`
means something from the moment it can be written rather than from the moment
it is honoured.

Also: `GET /admin/engagement/{triggers,audiences}`, served from the registries
rather than a table so an uninstalled module simply stops appearing;
`npm run engagement:manifest` plus its CI `--check`, the twin of the route
manifest, because renaming a variable breaks stored templates silently, at send
time, in mail someone already received.

6e61146678 refactor(api): collapse /admin/account and /player/account onto /auth/me/account
All checks were successful

PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 27s

Self-service account security had three URL surfaces onto one controller. All
three mounted the same `admin/account.controller.js` handlers; each of the three
router files carried a header comment apologising for the arrangement.

`/auth/me/account` was already a strict superset, which settles which to keep:

  /admin/account   6 routes  noindex, isLoggedIn, staffOnly
  /player/account  8 routes  noindex, requireAuth
  /auth/me/account 10 routes noindex, requireAuth

Neither of the deleted surfaces carried recovery codes, and /admin/account
carried no username or password change at all — so client.js already called
/auth/me/account/recovery-codes/* for two operations on a screen it otherwise
served from /admin/account. The split was leaking before this change.

Gating is equivalent where it overlapped: /player and /auth/me apply identical
`noindex, requireAuth`, and `staffOnly` on /admin/account was strictly narrower
while buying nothing, since every handler is self-scoped to req.user.id. There
is no CSRF layer to differ.

  - 14 routes deleted, 0 added, no handler changed.
  - account.controller.js moves router/v1/admin/ -> router/v1/auth/, beside the
    one router that still reaches it.
  - Web client: 14 call sites move onto a root-level api.myAccount /
    api.changeUsername / ... group, matching the /auth/me methods already there.
  - Android app: no change. MeApi.kt was already 100% /auth/me/account/*.
  - Two swagger tags, `Admin · Account` and `Player`, were declared only by the
    deleted routes and go with them. The orphaned `AccountStatus` schema goes
    too; `PlayerAccount` is re-described as the any-role /auth/me/account shape
    (the name is kept so existing $refs resolve).

Breaking to the published OpenAPI surface, accepted deliberately: both consumers
are in this org, and deprecate-then-delete would leave the next phase deciding
whether to add routes to surfaces already marked for removal.

Verification: routes.manifest.json shows exactly 14 deletions and 0 additions.
The OpenAPI spec loses the same 14 paths with zero surviving path definitions
changed; its large textual diff is pure reordering, because removing the
first-mounted router shifts every later path. 1203 server tests, 288 client
tests, 53 bot tests green; check:modules, check:hosts and routes:manifest
--check all pass.

Design of record: docs/website/ENGAGEMENT.md Phase 1a. This lands ahead of
engagement Phase 1b, which adds a self-service email field — written once here
rather than three times.

cecd72915f feat(teams): the slash-command seam, and the first command through it
Phase 7 of TEAMS.md. `api.registerSlashCommands` stops throwing: a module
registers a command's DEFINITION and its HANDLER together, the bot pulls the
definitions over the internal listener and runs none of our code, and the
handler executes here — forced by the bot container having no `modules` volume,
and the right boundary anyway.

Registration validates what Discord would reject as a batch (names, description
lengths, the four option types, required-before-optional), because the bot
registers the whole set in one PUT and a single bad entry costs every command
including the bot's own. Commands are not namespaced under their owner — there
is no dot in Discord's name grammar — so collisions are first-come with the
holder named.

The dispatcher is the access boundary: `linked` has no Discord equivalent, so
the platform-side permission default can only ever be advertising. It resolves
the actor by `auth_providers.kind` rather than the id slug, treats a banned
account as unlinked, bounds a handler under the bot's own timeout, and keeps
`ok` outside the envelope so a handler cannot forge it.

Liveness is asked at both the pull and the dispatch. The registries have no
removal path, so a module an operator disables at runtime would otherwise keep
a live handler behind a command Discord still advertises.

aa332eda82 feat(teams): the activity feed, its two writers and its retention
TEAMS.md Part 4. `team_activity` takes items from two sources and treats them
identically on the read path: core writes its own membership and rename items
with source='core', and a module pushes game items through
`ctx.teams.activity.push`, which stops throwing and starts working.

Core writing here too is deliberate — the rendering path is exercised by core's
own content from day one, so the feed is never empty on a deployment whose
module pushes nothing.

Three rules shape the model:

  - core never composes a summary. It arrives already rendered and is stored
    verbatim; core cannot phrase "gained 15,000 gold" for a game whose
    vocabulary it does not know.
  - visibility fails closed. An item with no stated visibility is `members`.
  - a push never throws at its call site. It is called from inside a game-event
    handler, and a storage problem of core's must not become the module's
    control flow.

Core emits four of the five kinds §4.2 names — `core.forum.thread` has nothing
to emit it until the forum lands in phase 4 — and emits none of them for a
Team's FIRST roster: importing a 155-member guild is one Team arriving, not 155
people joining, and a join per member would bury every real event under the
import and reach the row cap on day one.

Retention ships with the feed rather than after someone notices. A nightly
worker applies an age horizon and a per-Team row cap, both settings; either
alone has a hole, since age lets one busy guild write a million rows inside the
window and a cap keeps a dead Team's feed forever.

The sync now reads member ROWS rather than keys, replacing the `memberKeys`
call rather than adding to it: the feed needs each changing member's display
name and prior `is_leader`, and the upsert is about to overwrite both.

92631347f9 feat(teams): the reconciler, its four refusal gates, and ctx.teams (API 1.6.0)
Core's projection of the module's Teams, kept in step (docs/website/TEAMS.md
§2.4), plus the two ctx members a module pushes through.

The four gates are the file, and each is invariant 1 in a different costume --
module unavailability is staleness, never emptiness:

  1. getTeams() not ok           -> record the failure, touch NOTHING, return.
  2. ok but empty, core holds >=1 -> quarantine; apply only if the NEXT
                                    authoritative answer, an interval later,
                                    agrees.
  3. getTeamMembers() not ok      -> that Team's roster untouched and stale; the
                                    other Teams sync normally.
  4. ok but zero members, had some -> the same two-strikes quarantine, per Team.

Gates 2 and 4 exist because an authoritative-looking empty answer during a cold
start is the one failure indistinguishable from a real wipe. "Every Team on the
shard disbanded at once" costs one interval to confirm; getting it wrong empties
every roster on the site.

Events are an optimisation, never the source of truth. Member and leadership
deltas apply at once for a Team core already knows; team.created and
team.disbanded only ask for a run. §2.2 scopes archival to an authoritative full
list, so a repeated or spurious disband event costs a reconcile rather than a
Team -- and a Team invented from a delta would have no name, no roster and no
leaders anyway.

Two columns TEAMS.md did not contemplate, both on `teams`:

  - roster_synced_at, because team_sync_state holds one row per MODULE and gate 3
    leaves ONE Team behind while the others sync. Without a per-Team stamp that
    Team's page would report the module's last success as its own -- exactly the
    staleness the gate exists to surface.

  - members_empty_since, gate 4's per-Team quarantine. The twin of
    team_sync_state.pending_empty_since, which is per module and cannot express it.

One real bug found by its own test. The roster upsert was writing is_leader, so a
refused getTeamLeaders() left every member demoted -- the roster had already
written `leader: false` before the authoritative call was even made. §2.5 is
explicit that path 2 is answered by getTeamLeaders(), so is_leader is now set on
INSERT only (seeding a Team so it is not leaderless while that call fails) and
moved afterwards by setLeaders() alone. Two writers for one column was the whole
defect.

MODULE_API_VERSION 1.6.0 on both halves -- they state one contract and a module
declares one coreApi range. The number covers the whole Team surface per Part 11;
the members arrive by phase. registerTeamProvider, ctx.teams.publish and
ctx.teams.reconcile are live. ctx.teams.activity.push (§4, phase 3) and
api.registerSlashCommands (§7.1, phase 7) are present and THROW with a sentence
naming their phase, rather than being absent or silently accepting data into
tables that do not exist yet.

39 tests here, and the ctx surface guard in moduleLoader.test.js updated -- it
caught the addition, which is what it is for. Server 809 passed, client 192
passed, 0 failed.

8b63ffc725 feat(modules): registerTeamProvider, and a call path that cannot answer "empty"
The registration a module uses to become the authoritative source of Teams
(docs/website/TEAMS.md §2.3), plus the wrapper core calls it through.

registerTeamProvider is the first registration where core CALLS THE MODULE and
waits for an answer. Every existing one is either the module claiming a mount or
core notifying it; the closest precedent is registerAnnounceLeg's dispatch, and
this is modelled on it rather than invented. It also holds a single value rather
than a map, unlike every other registry: Teams have one authoritative source by
construction, and two modules answering "what teams exist" would produce two
disjoint sets under one `teams` table with no rule for merging them. A second
registration is therefore a collision, named against the module that holds it.

teamProvider.js is where invariant 1 -- module unavailability is staleness,
never emptiness -- is actually enforced. It is deliberately generous about what
counts as a failure: a rejected promise, a synchronous throw, a timeout, a
non-object, a bare array, a missing `ok`, or a structurally malformed row all
leave as the same `{ ok: false }` a module would have sent on purpose. There is
no shape a broken provider can produce that arrives at the reconciler looking
like an authoritative empty list -- which is the entire argument for the
envelope, since a bare array has exactly one such shape and it is the one a
module returns while its sidecar is still connecting.

A malformed row fails the whole call rather than being dropped. Salvaging is the
dangerous option: one unreadable member quietly omitted from a roster is
indistinguishable, downstream, from that member having left, and the sync would
mark them departed on the strength of a broken payload. Refusing costs one stale
interval.

The deadline timer is unreffed as well as cleared. Clearing covers the case
where the race settles; it cannot cover a module promise that never settles at
all, where nothing exists to clear until the deadline fires. Caught by the test
file taking 10.2s to run 265ms of assertions -- the same class of bug as the
mariadb pool that used to hold the suite open (test/_setup.js). 292ms now.

28 tests. Full suite 770 passed, 0 failed.

b30e82cde2 feat(modules): install, uninstall, purge and restart (phase 4, slice 1)
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 17s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 26s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 33s
The consumer half of a release module-uo's CI has been publishing since
phase 3 closed. Before this, core had the installed_modules provenance
columns and no code that could ever fill them: nothing fetched, verified,
unpacked, removed or purged anything, and there was no admin route at all.

Adds modules/archive.js, modules/install.js, schema.runPurge(),
lifecycle.stop(), loader.stopHook(), and /api/v1/admin/modules with eight
routes. 797 server tests (+76), manifest 158 -> 166 + 2 internal, OpenAPI
gains 8 operations and loses nothing.

Reject, never sanitise
----------------------
The download is the easy part: an https-only allowlist re-checked on every
redirect hop, a declared sha256 compared against the bytes that arrived, and
a byte cap. Unpacking is where the archive chooses the filenames, and core
writes into a directory bind-mounted from the host, so an escape is not
confined to the container.

archive.js inspects the whole archive before a byte is unpacked and refuses
absolute and drive-absolute paths, `..` segments, NUL bytes, backslashes,
anything that is not a regular file or a directory, more than one top-level
entry, and anything over the entry or byte caps. Refusing symlinks and
hardlinks outright is what keeps this off the majority of node-tar's
published advisories rather than depending on the library to contain them.

That two-pass shape is load-bearing, and it was measured rather than assumed:
extracting an archive whose fourth member escapes upward throws under
node-tar 7.5.22 -- and leaves the first three members on disk. The loader
scans that directory at require time on the next boot, so a half-unpacked
module is a module. Everything therefore happens in a scratch directory that
is removed on any failure, and the move into place is the last step.

`tar` is pinned to ^7.5.22 rather than the ^6 that installs by default: 6.x
is flagged critical, and reading the advisory list is what the file's header
now says out loud -- almost all of it is hardlink or symlink traversal and
PAX header interpretation differentials, which is exactly this feature's
threat model.

Two things the plan had wrong
-----------------------------
The bundle's top-level directory is `module-uo-<version>`, not the module id
-- so "the top-level name must equal the id" was checked against nothing real.
The extractor strips that level instead, because its name belongs to whoever
published the bundle and the directory it lands in is core's. What is checked
instead is the unpacked module.json: a manifest promising `uo` and delivering
something else is refused rather than installed under the name it promised.

And purge cannot be a follow-up action (decision 5): purge.sql lives inside
the directory uninstall deletes. It is offered in the uninstall flow and as a
standalone action on a still-installed module, and the standalone one refuses
unless the module is already disabled -- dropping tables under something that
is still serving leaves it answering out of a world that no longer exists.

Disable now means stopped
-------------------------
lifecycle.stop() dispatches that one module's onShutdown before flipping the
guard, so a module an operator switches off actually releases its sockets and
closes its streams instead of merely becoming unreachable. The hook runs
first and the state moves after it, because while onShutdown runs the module
is still `started` and that is the only state in which its routes and the
world it is tearing down agree. A hook that throws does not stop the disable
-- the opposite of the boot path's rule, and deliberately.

Enable is not its mirror and there is no start(id) beside it. There is no
onBoot re-dispatch and the hooks were never promised re-entrant, so enable
moves the row and the restart route starts it. A test pins that enable does
not touch the loader, because "fixing" it is a one-line change that would put
a module with closed sockets back on the nav.

Restart raises SIGTERM against its own process rather than calling the
shutdown path directly, so server.js's handler stays the one graceful-shutdown
path and this route cannot drift from it.

The allowlist bootstraps from MODULE_SOURCE_HOSTS into a settings row and is
admin-managed after that (decision 6); seedDefault is INSERT IGNORE, so
changing the variable on an existing deployment is a no-op by design. An empty
list forbids every install rather than allowing every host -- the safe
direction for a value someone might blank by accident.

Verified against the real v0.3.0 release
----------------------------------------
Not a fixture: fetched the published install manifest over the real Gitea
host and its redirect chain, verified the sha256, inspected and unpacked the
252,517-byte artifact to 82 files, and then booted core against the result --
the module registered its five mounts, seven streams and eight capabilities
and resolved its client chunk, with no scratch directory left behind.

Two defects this slice's own tooling caught, both of which had already been
written down as classes:
  - the controller destructured runPurge at require time, capturing the
    function rather than the module, which made the one dependency whose
    ORDER matters the one that could not be substituted;
  - two swagger annotations carried an apostrophe inside a quoted string,
    dropped silently by swagger-autogen before slice 5 taught it to fail loudly.

adff20be7b feat(modules): merge module OpenAPI fragments into /api/docs.json (phase 3, slice 5)
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 18s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 26s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 31s
Core's half of the slice that closes phase 3. Two things: the request-time
fragment merge core has owed since phase 1, and the last of core's UO copy.

**The merge (MODULE_API.md §6.1a).** `swagger-output.json` is core's own routes
and cannot be anything else — it is generated on a developer's machine and
committed, so it must come out the same regardless of what they had checked out,
and a module arrives on a volume long after the image was built. Module routes
therefore reach the document at request time, from the `swagger-fragment.json`
each module ships: `swagger/docsSpec.js` merges the fragments of STARTED modules
over the committed spec, cached on a new loader state version and rebuilt when a
module's state moves.

Until now neither half existed. `swagger/mergeSpec.js` named the request-time
caller in its header and that caller was never written, so the 72 routes
module-uo serves were in no OpenAPI spec at all — core's standing rule ("never
ship a route that isn't in the spec") broken by the extraction rather than by a
route.

Core wins every key collision, `swagger-output.json` is never mutated (it is a
require()d JSON module — one in-place merge would be permanent AND cumulative),
and a fragment that is missing or unreadable costs that module its paths and
nothing else. The Swagger UI is now built per request for the same reason the
JSON is: bound once at require time it would show core's routes for the life of
the process while /api/docs.json showed the merged set.

**The last of core's UO copy** (slice 4 deferred it; §5.2's check reads code, not
prose, so none of this was caught):

- 31 UO schemas and 4 UO tags in `swagger/swagger.js`, describing routes core has
  not served since slice 1 — 578 lines. They moved to module-uo, namespaced
  `Uo…`, and arrive back through the merge on an instance that installs it.
- `info.description` said "a private Ultima Online shard".
- README.md's 48 UO mentions, including the architecture diagram and the whole
  `## Shard integration (uo-link)` section, now `## Modules`.
- `TOWNCRIER_DURATION_SEC` and `UOLINK_*` in the two `.env.example`s: read by the
  module, not by core, and documented in the module's README instead.

**Two dropped annotations, and the reason nobody knew.** swagger-autogen reports
an annotation it cannot parse and then prints Success in green, having skipped
it. `npm run swagger` now captures its diagnostics and fails — which immediately
found `POST /api/v1/admin/invites` and `POST /api/v1/auth/invite/:token/accept`
documented with an EMPTY request body, both since the day they were written.

Fixing the tag list also cleared five tags used by routes but never declared
(`Admin · Email`, `Admin · Invites`, `Admin · Moderation`, `Admin · Pages`,
`Auth · Me`) — the same defect class, in the other direction.

- 646 server tests (+9), 157 client tests unchanged
- routes.manifest.json unchanged (158 public + 2 internal); check:modules clean
- swagger-output.json: 128 paths, 69 schemas, 0 orphan tags, 0 orphan schemas
- verified against a real boot with module-uo installed: 197 merged paths
  (128 core + 69 module), all four module tags, 31 Uo schemas, no dangling $refs,
  /api/docs renders the module's operations with zero console errors

5bdb6a7e10 fix(modules): guard the portal's nav icon, resolve MODULES_DIR absolutely
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 18s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 26s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 29s
Both found by the §7.7 browser smoke, running the slice-3 pair together, and
neither is visible to any test in either repo.

`PlayerPortalLayout` rendered `<n.icon />` unguarded while `AdminLayout` guarded
its equivalent. `icon` is optional in the nav contract, and every core row in
that sidebar has always had one — so the difference cost nothing until a module
registered a row without, and then it was not a missing glyph, it was React
error #130 and a blank player portal. Guarded now, like its neighbour.

`MODULES_DIR` is resolved absolute. `resolveClient` checks containment by
comparing an absolute `path.resolve(dir, entry)` against the module directory,
so a RELATIVE `MODULES_DIR` — which is what §7.7's own recipe produces when run
from `server/` — failed every module with "client.entry escapes the module
directory". A perfectly-placed entry, and a message pointing at the module.

f50541f374 feat(modules): ctx additions and the post-hook registry (API 1.1.0)
Everything the extraction needed from core that ctx did not already offer.
Additions only, so minor.

ctx.activity.log, because an admin action a module performs has to land in
core's one audit log or the trail has a hole exactly where a module operates the
game -- a module keeping its own log would be a second place to look, which in
practice means a place nobody looks. Write-only; reading the log is the admin
panel's job and it spans every actor.

ctx.users.getById, one function for one caller: the admin.users.detail slot
router needs the user its prefix names. ctx.site.baseUrl, because a module has
to build absolute links and §2.7 forbids it reading core's APP_BASE_URL -- a
getter, not a captured string, so it cannot go stale against the env.

ctx.middleware.rateLimit is core's makeLimiter, plus accountChangeLimiter handed
over whole. The split is deliberate: a module states its own window and cap
because it knows what its endpoints cost, and takes the plumbing from core so
there is one express-rate-limit in the process and one place a breach is logged.
accountChangeLimiter is shared policy -- core's /auth/me and /player/account sit
behind the same counter -- so a module's account-change route has to land IN it
rather than beside it. marketLimiter was UO policy living in core's file and
leaves with the route it guards.

registerPostHook is the fourth registry, and the last thing binding core to the
module. Core's post controller called newsGump.syncPost directly: core's CMS
naming a UO file. It now publishes what it already knows and a subscriber
decides what to do with it. Not folded into registerAnnounceLeg, which fires on
the same transition, because a leg is a one-shot DELIVERY with retry and
classification while a post hook maintains idempotent STATE, runs on delete as
well as save, and refreshes silently on an edit.

Also fixes a real loader defect the extraction exposed: schema table names were
matched against the RAW file, so a fragment whose header says "every CREATE
TABLE carries IF NOT EXISTS" was rejected for a prefix violation on a table
called `carries`. module-uo's fragment hit exactly that. Both scans now read
split statements, which strip comments -- the same class of bug as a boundary
check failing on its own documentation.

e0927bc255 feat(modules): the client registry, window.__rg and the chunk's script injection
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 21s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 30s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 1m37s
Phase 2, PR 7 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md 2.7 — the client half's
delivery. A module's prebuilt chunk is served, injected, handed core's React
and its UI kit, and its routes are rendered by App.jsx. The registry is empty
on a bare core, so nothing an operator can see changes.

Client:
  - modules/registry.js — registerRoutes/registerNav/registerFeatureProvider,
    with the URL namespace written by core, never by the module
  - modules/shared.js — window.__rg: React, react-dom/client, react-router-dom,
    react/jsx-runtime, the registry, the seven-member UI kit and the request
    primitive, frozen
  - App.jsx reads routesFor for all three areas; nav consumption is PR 8
  - main.jsx publishes the global, then mounts on DOMContentLoaded

Server:
  - the loader validates client.entry and publishes clientChunks() and
    clientEntryUrls(); an entry in the module root is rejected, because the
    directory it sits in is what gets served
  - app.js mounts each chunk at /modules/<id>/ behind the module's state guard
    with no-cache; anything else under /modules is a 404, not the SPA shell
  - htmlShell injects the tag before </body>, so core's bundle runs first
    wherever a bundler puts it

Found by loading a real chunk in a browser, and fixed here: core mounted before
any module chunk had evaluated, because document.readyState during a deferred
script is 'interactive', not 'loading'. Every test passed against that build.
The smoke is written down in MODULE_API.md 7.7.

933 server tests (+23), 123 client tests (+14). routes.manifest.json unchanged
at 230 routes; the OpenAPI spec regenerates byte-identical.

21196466ed feat(modules): boot/shutdown hook dispatch and the installed_modules reconcile
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 23s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 1m44s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 9m1s
Phase 2, PR 5 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md 2.7. api.onBoot/api.onShutdown
stop throwing, server.js gains one call on each side, and the 2.4 state machine
finally runs against real outcomes -- which is what makes 4.5's `disabled` 404
leg reachable for the first time.

Dispatch and reconcile live in src/modules/lifecycle.js rather than in the
loader, for the reason the schema replay does: routeManifest.js and swagger.js
both require app.js against a dead pool, so the loader may not reach the
database. The two halves meet at exactly one function, loader.setState(), so the
in-memory record the dispatch guard reads and the row the admin panel reads are
moved together and cannot disagree.

Four decisions, all recorded in MODULE_API.md 2.5 and 4.4:

- The loader classifies its failures by 4.3 step, so failure_stage says where a
  module broke instead of being a column nothing ever filled. The four steps
  readManifest covers in one pass label themselves; the rest are inferred from
  how far load() had got, and an unlabelled throw is recorded against the step
  that was running rather than guessed at.
- A row whose directory is gone is marked startup_failed rather than left
  claiming `enabled` -- the boot reset has just moved it there, and a row
  claiming to be enabled for a module that is not on the volume is the one state
  that is simply untrue. An uninstall leaves `disabled`, which the reset never
  touches, so this catches only a hand-deleted directory.
- Core's eight UO boot call sites stay in server.js until Phase 3. Unlike a
  registered announce leg, a boot call site already has somewhere to live, so
  moving it now would be extraction done early in a phase whose exit criterion
  is that nothing changes.
- onBoot gets no timeout. Shutdown races a SIGKILL and boot does not, and a slow
  onBoot delaying the listener is the contract's promise to a module that must
  warm up before it serves.

The operator's switch wins over everything: a disabled module is guarded, not
booted, and does not have its failure re-recorded, or an outcome would silently
switch it back on next boot. Every database write in the reconcile is
individually caught -- a row that will not update is worse reporting, never a
failed boot.

900 tests pass (17 new). routes.manifest.json is unchanged at 229 routes and the
OpenAPI spec regenerates byte-identical.

6195c76d61 feat(modules): the three de-entanglement registries, with core as the registrant
All checks were successful

PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 1m39s
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 8m49s
Phase 2 PR 4 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md §2.7. Adds server/src/modules/registries.js
and moves core's own notification streams, announce leg and users-detail routes
behind it, so the three seams §1.8 and §1.9 named are exercised on every boot
before any module depends on them.

Registering is validate-then-commit per registrant: the loader stages what a
module claims and the second pass commits it, so a module that throws halfway
through register() — or fails checkDeclared after it — leaves nothing behind.
That is the registry-side twin of PR 2's second-pass mount rule.

Four decisions, all the recommended option:

- announce legs became a child table. `announce_job_legs` replaces the
  towncrier_*/discord_* column groups, so the leg set is data: core registers
  `discord`, module-uo will register `towncrier`, and a module cannot ALTER a
  core table to add its own. Backfill is guarded on information_schema (a
  SELECT of a dropped column is a parse error, not a runtime one) and the
  columns go with DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS. Verified against the live dev DB:
  three legacy jobs migrated faithfully, three replays, no duplicates.
- `mapEvent` dropped from registerNotificationStreams. §1.8 already inverts the
  push path so a module owns fromShardEvent and calls core's publish() with a
  stream id it resolved; a second mapping mechanism was a leftover. The public
  safety filter, the kinds it reads and the streams it protects now live in one
  file and move together.
- core registers through the same staging area a module uses, via an explicit
  registries.registerCore() in app.js before modules.load().
- core's six /admin/users/:id/shard/* paths now go through the
  `admin.users.detail` slot, and getUser moved back to admin.controller.js.

Found on the way, and the reason two build tools changed:

- scripts/routeManifest.js could not decode a parameterised mount. Its
  unwinder expected `(?:([^\/]+?))`; express 4.22 emits `(?:\/([^/]+?))` with
  the separator inside the group. The branch had never run. It threw rather
  than guessing, which is what it is for.
- swagger-autogen cannot follow a route into an extension slot — the slot's
  router is created by declareSlot() and filled later, so there is no literal
  mount for a static parse. Regenerating deleted 407 lines and printed
  `Swagger-autogen: Success`, the spike's exact failure (MODULE_API.md §7.4).
  swagger/slotSpecs.js generates a fragment per filled slot and re-roots it at
  the prefix the router actually hangs at in the live app — read from the
  express stack via routeManifest's own mountPath, so the manifest and the spec
  cannot disagree. swagger/mergeSpec.js is the merge helper core owes for
  module fragments anyway (§6.1a), proved here against core's own slot first.

884 tests pass (856 before). routes.manifest.json is unchanged at 229 routes.
The OpenAPI spec diff is two lines of intent: the retry endpoint's summary, and
its `leg` no longer being a fixed enum.

2892d01b24 feat(modules): replay module schema fragments after core's
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 22s

PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 10m9s
Phase 2, PR 3 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md 2.7. ensureSchema() now replays
every installed module's schema fragment immediately after core's schema.sql,
per MODULE_API.md 2.6.

The work splits across two files on the line of whether a database is needed to
know the answer. loader.js VALIDATES a fragment at load time, before anything is
mounted, because every rule 2.6 states about the SQL is knowable by reading it;
a module that breaks one never mounts (4.4, left column). modules/schema.js
EXECUTES it, so the only failures there are the ones the database alone could
report, and those are post-mount and answer 503 (4.4, right column).

Validation is a leading-verb allowlist -- CREATE, ALTER, INSERT, UPDATE, the
four core's own schema.sql uses -- rather than the DROP denylist 2.6 words it
as. A fragment is replayed on every boot, so TRUNCATE and DELETE would empty a
table at each restart and RENAME would fail at the second one; a denylist only
ever bans what somebody thought of. A CREATE TABLE missing IF NOT EXISTS is
rejected for the same reason: it works once and fails every boot after, which
presents to an operator as a module that broke on restart.

The splitter moves to utils/sqlStatements.js so core's schema and a fragment are
split by literally the same code, which is what 2.6 promises. It is its own file
rather than an export of utils/db.js because the loader validates fragments at
require time and must not drag the mariadb pool into app.js's require chain.

The replay sits outside ensureSchema's wait-for-the-database retry loop: a
fragment that throws is one module's failure, not a signal the database is
coming up, and retrying core's whole schema nine more times over one module's
bad SQL would turn a 503'd module into a two-minute boot.

Found while wiring it: db/seed.js calls ensureSchema() standalone for
`npm run seed`, without ever requiring app.js, so the loader has not scanned and
fragments()'s 7.6 throw would have broken seeding outright. The replay asks
isLoaded() and logs the skip rather than swallowing it -- a booting server
quietly getting no module tables is the thing 7.6 exists to prevent.

Verification:

- 856 server tests pass, 14 new. moduleSchema.test.js injects the query fn, so
  the exact statements and their order are asserted with the pool at a dead port
  like every other suite.
- routes.manifest.json and routes.guards.json diffs are zero lines, 229 routes
  -- the phase 2 exit criterion. swagger-output.json regenerates byte-identical.
- Run for real against the local MariaDB with two fixture modules: a good
  fragment created its table, applied its ALTER and seeded its row; a fragment
  whose SQL passes validation but the server rejects (`id NOTATYPE`) marked only
  that module startup_failed, its route answering 503 while the other answered
  200; a second ensureSchema on the same database was a clean no-op.

ec1ca7e794 feat(modules): the filesystem module loader
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 16s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 24s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 10m4s
Phase 2 PR 2 of docs/website/MODULE_SYSTEM.md 2.7. Adds
server/src/modules/{loader,semver,version}.js: the synchronous scan of
MODULES_DIR, manifest validation, prefix and table-name collision
rejection, per-module try/catch and the mount into the three tier
routers behind the MODULE_API.md 4.5 dispatch guard.

Two decisions the contract left open, both now written up there:

- The load trigger is one explicit modules.load(tierRouters) call in
  app.js, not a lazy scan (API 7.6). Accessors throw until it has run,
  because "no modules installed" is a real answer a caller must not be
  handed by accident.
- Whether core owns a prefix is asked of the live tier routers via
  express's own layer.match(), skipping root-mounted layers, rather than
  a hardcoded table -- the spike's was already stale when written
  (API 4.3).

Mounting is a second pass after every module is validated. Doing it
inside the scan loop makes the first module's layers indistinguishable
from core's, so the second module claiming a taken prefix is told it
collided with core and the module-versus-module check is unreachable.

registerExtension/NotificationStreams/AnnounceLeg and onBoot/onShutdown
throw "not available until phase 2 PR 4/5" rather than no-op; an
accepting stub would let a module believe it had registered something.
No schema replay, no boot dispatch, no installed_modules reconcile --
those are PRs 3 and 5, and until PR 5 a record's state is in memory only.

No module ships on the volume, so nothing an operator or client can see
changes: 842 tests pass, routes.manifest.json is unchanged at 229 routes
and swagger-output.json regenerates byte-identical.
