Three defects the acceptance walk found in shipped code.

**The public calendar showed neither what is live nor what is recent.** §I says
`GET /public/events` is "the calendar: upcoming, **live** and **recent**". Built,
it was upcoming only: `listInWindow` filtered on `scheduled_for >= from` alone and
the shipped page asks for no window at all, so it took the default of now → +31d.
A run that began five minutes ago and has three hours to go was absent; so was one
that ended an hour ago. The site contradicted itself — `live: true` on
`/site/events/<slug>` while `/site/events` served `entries: []`.

A run is an interval, not an instant. `listInWindow` now matches a run whose
occupied interval OVERLAPS the window, which fixes the admin calendar's identical
hole (a run that started last Sunday and is still going was missing from "this
week"), and the public default reaches `DEFAULT_RECENT_DAYS` back so "recent" has
somewhere to live. Forecasts are still computed from `now`, never from the tail:
a projection into the past would advertise an occurrence that did not happen.

**A resource left `reverting` by a crash was never reclaimed.** `claimRevert`'s
comment said `reverting` is not claimable "exactly as a step with a live claim is"
— but a step's claim carries `claim_expires_at` and is reclaimed when the lease
lapses, and a resource in `reverting` had no expiry and nothing released it. A
process killed mid-teardown stranded the row for good: the sweep skipped it every
15s for ever, `cleanup_status` never left `pending`, and `POST …/cleanup` — the
recourse §I names — answered 200 and did nothing, because it claims through the
same function. On the rig it stranded a lease, which then BLOCKED the next run of
the same event from taking that value until the shard's own deadline lapsed.

The stale test is `updated_at`, which for a `reverting` row is exactly when the
claim was taken, so no column is added. `updated_at` is re-stamped explicitly and
that is load-bearing rather than tidy: this connector sends `CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS`,
so without the write a second claimer would still match the row. `revert_attempts`
is untouched — a stale claim is a process that died, not an attempt that failed.

**Three facts every event announcement computed and none could use.**
`announce.js` `baseFor()` puts `summary`, `seriesName` and `timezone` on all seven
`event.*` payloads, but four triggers declared none of them and a fifth declared
one, so `validatePayload` dropped them, they were absent from the variable list an
author picks from, and every emit logged `emit carried undeclared variables` at
DEBUG. They are now one shared `EVENT_AMBIENT` declaration spread into all seven,
with the per-trigger copies removed so the seven cannot drift.

Verified against a real ServUO + sidecar + website rig: the public page now shows
a live run as "Happening now" beside recent finished ones (it showed nothing at
all before), and a lease stranded by a real mid-teardown crash was reclaimed
within one sweep, taking `cleanup_status` from `pending` to `complete`.

The three `claimRevert` tests live in `eventRunnerSql.test.js` against a real
MariaDB, because every part of the answer is the server's — `NOW() - INTERVAL`,
`ON UPDATE`, and above all what `affectedRows` counts.

e46842a28c fix(events): carry a module's own account of a successful step

`EVENTS.md` §H told a module the revert contract accepts a `detail` on its
envelope. `classify()` reads `ok`, `retry`, `error`, `await`, `holdFor`,
`resources` and `participants` — and has never read a `detail`. So a module
that answered one was writing into nothing.

`module-uo` believed it, twice, since Phase 12b:

  * `uo.item.grant` answers `{ granted, missed, why }`
  * `uo.world.save` answers `{ started: true }`

The grant is the one that matters. A grant reaches the players a run's
participation ledger holds, and **which of them missed out is knowable only to
the module and reported nowhere else** — so an operator saw a step marked
`done` and never learned four of twelve got nothing.

Found writing the integration kit's chapter 5 (`Integration-kit#10`), whose
template made the same mistake on §H's authority.

## What this adds

`detail` becomes a real, optional member of the two SUCCESS envelopes, beside
`resources` and `participants` — on both, because `await: 'human'` is a success
and a cue's confirm finishes the step without a second dispatch, so that is the
only moment its module could ever have said anything.

**Core never interprets it.** `safeDetail()` bounds it and nothing else reads a
key out of it, here or in the runner or in the browser. That is the point: a
module knows things about its own verb core cannot compute, and it had no other
way to say them.

  * objects only — the column is JSON and the console renders keys, so a bare
    string has nothing to render under, and core inventing a key would be core
    interpreting it after all;
  * 4KB of serialised JSON, dropped rather than truncated, because half a JSON
    object is not a JSON object;
  * unserialisable (circular, a throwing `toJSON`) is dropped — reaching the
    runner would make the log INSERT throw, inside the one write documented
    never to;
  * re-parsed rather than passed through, so core holds no live reference into
    a module's object;
  * **anything wrong with it is dropped and logged, never a failure.** A step
    that did what it was asked must not be re-run because its module's
    commentary was malformed: that is a world write repeated for a log line.

The runner writes it as a `step.detail` run-log row, its own kind rather than a
field on `resource.recorded` — the grant that forced this ledgers nothing
(`reversible: 'none'`) and reports no participants, so it would have had
nowhere to ride.

## The renderer, which is half the fix

`describeLogLine`'s default returns a kind WORD, so a `step.detail` row falling
through would have rendered as the literal string "step.detail" — the channel
existing and showing nothing, exactly the failure being fixed. It gets a case
that renders whatever keys the module put there, generically: a switch on known
keys would be the browser learning one module's vocabulary.

    uo.item.grant — granted: 8, missed: 4, why: bank full, offline
    uo.world.save — started: true

**`module-uo` needs no change**: the code it already shipped starts working.

MODULE_API stays 1.10.0, amended in place — it is still on `edge`. Zero-line
route manifest diff; no route added. 2057 server tests, 400 client tests.

1667e636bd feat(events): the public calendar, event pages and participation history (Phase 14a)
The anonymous surface an event was always for: GET /public/events,
/public/events/:slug and /public/events/series/:slug, plus
GET /player/events/history, and the four screens over them.

Four org-lead decisions taken up front: split Phase 14 into 14a (website)
and 14b (the app); add a `listed` flag rather than letting `state` mean both
schedulable and announced; put the `events` capability string in the version
block rather than publishing core as a pseudo-module; and drop "venue" from
the spec rather than adding a field nothing had ever built.

`listed` is announcement, not permission. Publishing is what makes a
definition runnable, so without a separate flag a surprise event would have
to be advertised in order to be allowed to happen. It is a column, a switch
in Phase 13's editor, and three SQL predicates -- never a filter applied
after a read, which works exactly as well until the first caller that forgets.

The public shapes are a projection, and the projection is the security
boundary: nothing is spread, so a column added to event_runs next year does
not ride out through it. The spec, health, cleanup, claims, errors and
member_key are all absent by construction.

The six public event triggers gained `eventUrl` (version 1 -> 2), carrying
?run= because the page lives at the definition's slug while every trigger is
about one occurrence. notify.event-started gained the button, at seedVersion 2.

7d3d6d5abd feat(events): the integrations — lifecycle triggers, participants, results (Phase 10)
Some checks failed

PR Checks / bot-tests (pull_request) Successful in 8m27s
`EVENTS_PLAN.md` Phase 10. Core registers its own `event.` triggers, records who
took part, publishes a results table, and announces a post through the legs the
news pipeline already uses. Events owns none of the delivery: a run says what
happened and an operator's rule decides who is told, so email, the in-app inbox,
push tickles, Discord and the town crier all arrive without anything in
`events/` growing a second delivery path.

**No route was added and nothing moved.** The whole surface is two more derived
fields on a run — `participants` and `resultsPublishedAt` — and a zero-line
`routes.manifest.json` diff proves it.

Seven triggers: six at ceiling `authenticated` / audience `subscribers`, exactly
where `news.post` sits, and `run.failed` at `admin` on both halves. Every one
keys its cooldown on the RUN. Two rules seeded, both off, under a third one-shot
key so a deployment that has already stamped the Team and news keys still gets
them.

**The phase's own defect was a promise nothing kept.** `EVENTS.md` §I says a
rehearsal runs for real "with announcements ceilinged to `staff`" — but a
ceiling is declared on the TRIGGER, and a rehearsal fires the same trigger as
the real thing, so the moment this phase gave a run something to announce,
rehearsing a published event would have mailed every subscriber. The emit
envelope now takes an optional `ceiling` and the send-time G24 gate applies
`meet(declared, emitted)`. It only narrows; two incomparable ceilings refuse
every rule rather than resolving to either.

`MODULE_API_VERSION` stays 1.10.0, amended in place — `main` declares 1.9.0, so
1.10.0 has not shipped and the org lead's 2026-09-03 rule applies for the third
time.

Three defects the live walk found, none visible to a unit test:

1. **A channel that reported success while reaching nobody.** The seeded
   `run.started` rule named `push`, because §8.5 and the plan both do. Push
   delivery joins `notification_subscriptions`, only ever written for an id the
   preferences screen offered push for — and it offers push only for a
   registered STREAM. So the tickle went nowhere every time while
   `pushChannel.deliver` answered "tickle published". `event.run.started` is now
   a stream as well as a trigger; the other six are not.
2. **A trigger's `description` reaches a recipient.** It is the structural
   projection's `intro` fallback, so `run.failed`'s line ending "Staff-facing."
   put those words in an administrator's own inbox item.
3. **`affectedRows` cannot tell an insert from an unchanged upsert.** The
   connector sends `CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS`, so a "was this new" flag would have
   counted every idempotent retried collect as a fresh participant.

And one caught before it shipped: ranking with a session variable is wrong here,
because `query()` takes a pool connection per call — the variable would be set
on one connection and read on another. A window function needs no session state.

## Verification

- `npm test --prefix server` — **1981 pass, 1 fail**, and that one
  (`botScore.test.js`) passes standalone at 18/18: a file-level flake under
  parallel load. Run with an empty `MODULES_DIR`, as CI does.
- `npm test --prefix client` — 362 pass, 0 fail. `npm run build` green.
- Zero-line `routes.manifest.json` / `routes.guards.json` diff.
- A live walk on a real rig: MariaDB, the site with no module, mailpit. The mail
  arrived, headed with the event's title and its start time in the shard's own
  zone; the rehearsal fired the same trigger and produced zero outbox rows where
  the real run produced three; `run.failed` reached the administrator's inbox
  and no player's; `core.announce.post` queued a second job without touching the
  news pipeline's back-pointer or `announced_at`; and `rankRun` and the upsert
  were run against real MariaDB 11.

## One thing for a reviewer, out of scope and not fixed

**Every `#swagger.description` in this repo is truncated in the generated spec.**
swagger-autogen does not honour a backslash-escaped apostrophe, so a description
is cut at the first `\'` — 175 of the 177 in `server/src/router/**`. It is
pre-existing and repo-wide. Only the one annotation this phase edits is fixed
here (a typographic apostrophe), because otherwise this phase's own addition to
it would be dead text. The rest wants its own change.

Event System Phase 8 (EVENTS_PLAN.md). Docs half: RunicGateway/docs#NNN.

One table, one core action, one route, one body field, and two members added to
MODULE_API 1.10.0 in place. The safety property the whole world-write half
depends on: core now remembers what a run changed in the world, and gives it
back on every terminal path.

Four decisions settled by the org lead on 2026-09-03, all as recommended:

- A lease is acquired by a new CORE action, `core.lease`. Section F puts the
  duration bound and the two-events-one-target conflict check on core's side of
  the seam, and a lease verb per module would be both re-implemented once per
  module, advisory everywhere.
- Record-before-confirm is a PLACEHOLDER keyed by the step's idempotency key. A
  spawn's ref does not exist until the module answers, so what core writes
  before the dispatch is `kind: '@step'`, `ref` = that key. If the answer never
  comes it stands, and cleanup calls revert() with the key and no resources --
  which is why section F's revert takes the key at all.
- Cleanup is one sweep over the ledger, not synthetic step rows. The
  step-shaped version costs a second retry counter beside `revert_attempts`.
- `reconcile` is declared here and TRIGGERED BY THE MODULE, through
  `ctx.events.reconcile()`. Core has no concept of the game being up, so it
  cannot decide when to ask; it asks once at its own boot.

MODULE_API stays 1.10.0. A protocol owes a bump once it has landed on `main`;
while it is on `edge` it is amended in place, so the whole module contract
reaches an author as one version they read once.

Verify

- `npm test` -- 2025 tests, 1935 pass, 89 skipped, 1 fail. That one is the
  pre-existing engagementManifest CRLF failure, in a file this branch does not
  touch (`edge` before: 1950/1876/73/1). +75 tests.
- The unique key was proved against a REAL MariaDB, because nothing else can
  prove it: whether multiple NULLs collide in a unique index, whether a STORED
  generated column is recomputed on UPDATE, and whether the SET NULL foreign key
  survives beside it are properties of the server. eventRunnerSql.test.js gained
  16 tests; 65 pass against the container. The real schema.sql was applied to a
  fresh database and to an existing one.
- Client: 362 pass, and it builds. routes:manifest and swagger -- one route
  added, none moved.

The live walk found three defects, and two of them are the phase's real finding

Driven by a throwaway `rig` module in website/modules/, deleted before commit.

1. A lease was never given back at all. `core.lease` reserves its own ledger
   row, so it never went through the ledger's dirty-marking, so a run holding
   only a lease kept `cleanup_status = 'not_required'` and the cleanup leg --
   which selected on `pending` -- never looked at it.
2. EVENT_REVERT_MAX_ATTEMPTS meant one attempt, not three. The first failing
   sweep moved the run to `incomplete`, which took it out of the leg's own scan
   for ever. The test covering the bound asserted `<= 3` and was satisfied by 1:
   a bound has two halves, and a test that only asserts the ceiling passes
   against a floor.
3. The first fix for (2) made the console lie. Spending every row's
   `revert_attempts` was a tidy way to take a `cleanup: false` run out of a
   counter-bounded scan, and the run page then rendered "3 attempts" beside
   resources nothing had ever tried. Found by opening the page.

Both (1) and (2) are the same mistake: deriving "is there anything to do" from a
summary column instead of from the rows. Neither was visible to a unit test,
because a test that calls the sweep directly never asks what would have selected
the run.

The two properties that need the process to die were walked as the plan asks.
With the module's perform() hanging, the placeholder existed while the dispatch
was in flight and nothing was named; after taskkill and a restart the reclaim
re-dispatched the same idempotency key, the retry re-used its own placeholder,
and everything was given back. Then, with the module reporting one of two
resources as no longer in force, the boot-time reconcile marked the other
`orphaned` -- never `reverted`.

This branch does NOT bump MODULE_API_VERSION, so the integration kit stays as
Phase 7 left it: red until the Phase 16 cutover re-pins ci/core-ref.json.

Two new tables — event_action_settings (the deployment switchboard) and
event_run_budget (what a run has spent and the most it may) — plus verified_at
and verified_by on event_versions. The whole authorisation decision moves behind
one function, events/authorize.js: role, enablement, cap, and the shard's own
switch named as the layer core deliberately does not duplicate.

Three routes, none moved: GET/PUT /admin/events/actions (admin in both
directions) and POST /admin/events/:id/verify (admin, editor — a dry run
dispatches nothing).

Four decisions, settled by the org lead 2026-09-03:

- The default-off line falls between inspect and change, not between notify and
  inspect. Read literally, §K shipped core.wait disabled. The same line is the
  role floor.
- The tightest cap wins where two actions spend one dimension, pinned into the
  run at creation with the action it came from.
- A refusal follows the step's on_failure and takes health to degraded — its own
  status and its own log kind, because a refusal is not an outage.
- The verify gate is enforced for scheduled starts only: a human pressing Start
  now is the review the gate exists to require.

Derived and flagged for review: a dry run fails rather than warns on a disabled
action or an over-cap plan, and the unattended path does not re-check the
starter's role.

+111 tests (1921/1847/73/1 — the one failure pre-existing and environmental),
including a 403 walk over the real router and two concurrent spends against one
cap on a real MariaDB. The live walk found two defects, both fixed here: the run
console route dropped the budget it was handed, and the role refusal used a
plural verb over a one-item list.

A phase used to advance on one fact - every step terminal. It can now also carry
an advance CONDITION: `{ after: '30m' }` or `{ on: '<triggerId>', where:
<conditions>, count: n }`, reusing `engagement/conditions.js` unchanged. The
phase's real deliverable is the diagnosis panel: "why didn't phase 3 start?"
answered in the condition builder's own words, with the tally, the elapsed time
and the last related firing whether or not it counted.

`POST /admin/events/runs/:runId/advance` arrives beside it. It has been absent
since Phase 3 for want of a meaning; a phase with a gate can wait on a boss that
will never spawn, and that is the one state "force it anyway" names.

One new table, `event_run_phase_gates`. The emit path writes the tally at the
moment a firing happens - a gate waiting on three spawns counts things that
occur between two ticks, and a tally held in a process's memory is one a restart
silently zeroes - and the runner's tick reads it.

A gate that never opens is HELD, with no automatic advance and no authored
timeout (org lead, 2026-09-02). What the engine owes instead is visibility:
`EVENT_PHASE_STALL_MS` takes the run's health to `stalled`, and `setHealth` is
now escalation-only so a later retry cannot demote it.

The four closed recurrence shapes computed in the definition's own IANA zone,
a fourteen-day materialisation horizon with projections beyond it, series as a
managed thing, and the admin calendar that replaces the plugin this feature
exists to replace. An event now happens on its own.

No schema change: Phase 1 built every column this needed.

- events/recurrence.js is the ONE place an occurrence is computed, so the
  runner's expansion and the calendar's forecast cannot disagree. No date
  library added — Node ships the tzdata one would vendor, behind Intl.
- The runner's materialise leg is now two halves: expand, then sweep. The
  window starts at `now - grace`, so an occurrence nobody could have seen is
  never invented retroactively; the horizon is what makes the missed sweep
  mean anything for a recurrence.
- Publishing is the schedule switch and archiving turns it off, and publishing
  re-pins every occurrence that has not started.
- A projection is never drawn over an instant a run occupies, so a cancelled
  occurrence does not reappear as a forecast.

54 new tests, incl. the DST fixture set the plan asked for and three new
statements proved against a real MariaDB. Suite 1768/1711/56 skipped/1 fail
(pre-existing CRLF). Walked end to end on the local review stack.

Three screens, an Events nav group and the six live run controls Phase 1 left
absent on purpose because nothing was in flight. An admin can now author,
publish, start and watch an event that announces things and cues a human; a
moderator can stop one that is going wrong.

Six controls, not eight. `advance` is absent because a phase today advances when
its steps go terminal — the per-step skip already does that — and Phase 5 is what
gives a phase an advance condition. Cancel takes `{ reason }`, not `{ cleanup }`,
until Phase 8's ledger exists. Every control is a compare-and-set on the status it
may act from, so a console rendered thirty seconds ago cannot act on a run that
has moved.

Fixes a defect in the Phase 2 runner: `advanceRun` drained up to
EVENT_STEPS_PER_TICK steps while only checking the run's status at the top of the
tick, so a pause pressed mid-batch did nothing for up to 24 more steps.

`utils/eventRunner.js`, the eighth poller, wired into server.js beside
engagementWorker. Its tick reclaims stale leases, sweeps occurrences past their
grace window into `missed`, advances each due run through its phases, and drains
that phase's steps in `seq` order. The three core actions from Phase 1 get real
bodies, so a published event started from the existing run route now announces,
waits and completes on its own.

No routes are added: a runner has no surface, and the live controls stay Phase
3's.

Four things the org lead settled (2026-09-02): a parked step is `running` with a
NULL lease; `await: 'human'` and `holdFor` are ordinary success-envelope members
rather than special cases keyed on an action id; a run whose concurrency key is
held stays `scheduled` and lets its grace window decide; and `n` in §L's
`retry(n)` is a runner constant.

EVENTS_PLAN.md Phase 1. Six of the nine core tables — the ones that do not
depend on the module contract — plus definitions CRUD, publish, archive, and
the action registry with core as its first registrant.

**Nothing dispatches.** There is no runner until Phase 2, so a run row is
created and stays `scheduled`. That is this phase's correct answer and the
surface renders it verbatim rather than hiding it.

Schema (`db/schema.sql`, append-only):
  event_series, event_definitions, event_versions, event_runs,
  event_run_steps, event_run_log. The four that need a writer —
  event_action_settings, event_run_budget, event_run_resources,
  event_run_participants — arrive with the phases that give them one.

Registry (`modules/registries.js` + `config/coreEventActions.js`):
  registerEventActions staging and commit, with its own id namespace, the
  closed risk and reversibility sets, revert() required iff and only iff
  reversible: 'ledger', a bounded budgetMs and a param shape whose every
  entry needs a type and an example. perform/revert/cost are stripped from
  everything the catalog serves. Core declares core.announce, core.wait and
  core.cue through the same staging area a module will use.

  It is reachable ONLY by registerCore(): loader.js builds its own api facade
  and has no method that delegates here, so no module can call it and
  MODULE_API_VERSION is untouched. Phase 7 adds the facade and the bump.

Surface (13 routes under /api/v1/admin/events):
  Reads staff-wide; publish, archive and run creation admin-only from this
  phase per EVENTS.md §N2, even though the switchboard they will consult does
  not exist yet — a button that is admin-only later and open now is a gate
  nobody notices was missing. The live run controls and `verify` are absent
  rather than stubbed, because nothing is in flight yet.

Four things the build settled, all recorded in docs:
  - event_definitions gained a `spec` column. A draft's working copy cannot
    be an event_versions row: that table is immutable and a run pins one.
  - The spec validator must accept its own output. It added `actionVersion`
    and `dormant` and then refused them as unknown keys, which would have made
    the second save of any definition — and publish's re-validation —
    impossible. A test caught it; both are now accepted and recomputed.
  - A param's `example` is required, optional params included, matching
    registerEventTriggers. It is the authoring form's placeholder.
  - Two routes the §API-surface table did not name: GET /admin/events/:id and
    GET /admin/events/series.

Core's three perform() bodies answer { ok: false, retry: false } rather than
{ ok: true }: `ok: true` on an action that did nothing is a recorded world
change that did not occur, which is the exact mistake §F's failure default
exists to prevent.

`conditions.checkLiteral` is exported and reused for step-param type checking
— one switch over the six types, so "is this a datetime" has one answer.

Verified: 44 new tests, whole server suite, `npm run check:modules`, routes
manifest and swagger regenerated (the manifest diff is +13 routes, zero moved).

5779d15150 feat(engagement): retention — three sweeps and one recorded refusal
All checks were successful

ENGAGEMENT.md Phase 14, the last phase of the workstream. Four engagement
tables grew on every fire and nothing had ever deleted from any of them.

Three of them now have a horizon, swept nightly by one worker
(utils/engagementRetentionPrune.js — setInterval + unref + stop(), batched
1000 x 50, each table's failure caught on its own so a lock timeout on one
does not leave the other two unbounded):

  engagement_sends      180 days   engagement_sends_retain_days      (7-3650)
  engagement_cooldowns   30 days   engagement_cooldowns_retain_days  (2-3650)
  engagement_outbox      30 days   engagement_outbox_retain_days     (2-3650)

The fourth, engagement_suppressions, does not expire, and that is the
recorded decision rather than an omission: a suppression is a standing
decision, and ageing out a hard bounce re-mails an address that already
bounced. The way out stays deliberate, and is now reachable per row.

Six decisions were settled by the org lead before any code. Two of them
widened the phase past what was offered:

  * the send-log horizon is admin-configurable, so retention got a SCREEN
    (Admin -> Engagement -> Retention) where team_activity and
    user_notifications keep theirs in invisible settings rows. The send-log
    horizon changes what an operator-facing page is able to show, so it has
    to be visible; the other two came with it, because "what does this
    deployment keep" is one question.
  * the suppression purge, which cost a Phase 9 decision. The list
    deliberately stripped address_hash from every row, so the only way out
    was a window.prompt asking the operator to retype an address the screen
    has never shown them. The row had no handle at all. The hash is now
    returned: this route is admin-only and an admin can already suppress and
    unsuppress any address they can name, so it grants no capability they
    lack. GET /sends still strips its own.

The outbox sweep is TERMINAL-ONLY and that is a correctness rule: a
scheduled row is a send this deployment still intends to make (delay_seconds
can put one a day out) and a sending row may be mid-flight.

One shipped defect had to be fixed for the sweep to be a bound at all.
reclaimStale returned every stale sending row to scheduled, and MAX_ATTEMPTS
is consulted only on a graceful retry outcome — so a send that killed the
process mid-flight cycled sending -> scheduled -> sending forever, never
terminal, therefore never eligible for any sweep. It now fails an exhausted
row BEFORE reclaiming the rest; the order is the fix.

Two indexes (idx_engo_sweep, idx_engs_sweep): every existing index on those
tables has created_at in second position, which serves a per-rule window and
is useless to a whole-table horizon.

Proved twice: engagementRetentionSql.test.js against a real MariaDB (7
tests, incl. the acceptance case and the wrong reclaim order run
deliberately), and the live stack, where a 90-day-old cancelled row was
swept and a 90-day-old scheduled row survived.

eec7dbf785 fix(engagement): claim the seed guard atomically, and let a rule name a digest body
All checks were successful
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 35s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 5m29s
PR Checks / bot-tests (pull_request) Successful in 8m30s
Both defects came out of Phase 13's acceptance walk, and neither was visible to
any test.

**1. The one-shot rule-group guard was not a guard.** `seedRuleGroup` and
`coreRules.seedGroup` both read their settings stamp, inserted the whole group,
and wrote the stamp AFTER the loop. Two instances booting in the same moment both
read "absent" and both insert -- the walk ended up with 52 module rules where the
module ships 26. `docker compose up --scale app=2` and a rolling restart both
start two instances on purpose, so this is ordinary rather than exotic.

`settings.db` gains `claim(key, value)`: the same `INSERT IGNORE` as
`seedDefault`, reporting its own `affectedRows`, so exactly one caller can win a
key. The atomicity is the PRIMARY KEY's -- no transaction, no lock, the same
bargain `engagementWorker`'s row claim already makes. Both seeders claim before
inserting.

The trade the code already documented is unchanged, only its order: a process
that dies mid-loop leaves the group stamped and partly seeded, and the missing
rules are an operator's visit to the "new rule" form. A duplicate rule is two
mails per event, for every rule in the group, which both functions' own comments
already call the worse outcome.

**Why no test caught it:** the stubs supplied `get` and `set` over a Map, which
cannot race, so they agreed with the bug -- Phase 4a's `foundRows` finding in a
different costume. The fake is now `claim`-shaped and decides without yielding,
exactly as the table does, and both suites gained a test that runs two seeders
with `Promise.all` and asserts one insert each. Verified by reverting the fix:
the module test then reports every rule inserted twice.

**2. A rule that names a `digest` body could not be saved.** `registries.js`
`checkSeedRule` permits `digest` in as many words -- it is the body
`teamDigestWorker` renders for a rule whose email channel an individual set to
digest mode, so it never appears in `channels` and never could -- and
MODULE_API.md 2.4 tells modules they may point `template_keys` at
`notify.digest`. `engagementRules.model.js` then rejected any key that was not
one of the rule's channels.

So every rule shipping a digest body answered an operator who opened it and
pressed Save with a 400 naming a key they had never typed: core's own Team and
news rules, and sixteen of module-uo's. The only way to save was to delete the
digest body, silently dropping digest support from that rule. The two validators
now agree; anything that is neither a channel nor `digest` is still refused, with
a test for each direction.

No MODULE_API bump: no member is added, removed or changed, and the documented
contract is what the code now honours rather than something new.

c8d45733b6 fix(engagement): two defects the Phase 11b live walk found in core
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-tests (pull_request) Successful in 37s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 45s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 5m30s
Both are invisible to a fixture and loud on a real database, which is why the
walk is the phase's acceptance rather than a formality.

1. registerEngagementSeeds validated `max_sends_per_hour` and then dropped it
   from the normalized rule. The column is NOT NULL, so every one of the 25
   module-seeded rules failed to insert at boot. The registry test asserted the
   REJECTION of a bad ceiling and never that a good one survives; it now asserts
   the normalized rule against `engagementRules.db.insert`'s own column list, so
   the next field added is covered the day it is added.

2. The cooldown claim runs inside the engine's per-channel loop and its key was
   (rule, user, subject). So the first channel of a rule claimed the cooldown and
   every later one was reported as cooled -- and `inapp` is ranked first
   deliberately, so a rule naming email + in-app delivered the inbox item and
   silently never the mail. Core's own `news.post` rule has that shape. Phase
   11b's decision 8 requires the letter and the inbox item to fire together.

   `channel` joins the PRIMARY KEY (the org lead's decision 12: a cooldown is per
   delivery, not per occasion). Migrated in place behind an information_schema
   guard, because MariaDB has no conditional form of a key change and replaying
   schema.sql would otherwise fail on every boot after the first.

1551 core tests green; both new tests verified by reverting each fix in turn.

1d4cd4adae feat(engagement): the admin ceiling and core's news.post emitter (Phase 11a)
All checks were successful
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 26s
PR Checks / bot-tests (pull_request) Successful in 28s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 13m3s
Core's half of ENGAGEMENT.md Phase 11a: the two decisions the org lead settled
before any code that land in core rather than in module-uo. Pairs with
Module-uo#22 and docs#194.

## Decision 1 -- a seventh ceiling, `admin`, as a child of `staff`

Phase 11's operator-facing triggers (uo.audit.staff_action, uo.economy.milestone,
uo.world.saved) are described as admin-audience everywhere, and the narrowest
value the lattice had was `staff` -- which ceilings.js defines as admin, editor
AND moderator. Ceilinging them there would have let an operator save a rule that
mails the staff audit digest to every moderator in it.

`admin` is the ONLY genuine refinement in the tree -- every admin is staff, which
is exactly the containment every other pair of branches lacks -- so it is a child
rather than a seventh leaf, and permits/meet/meetAll needed no change beyond the
new PARENT entry.

**The one non-obvious consequence, and the reason for ROLE_CEILINGS.**
notificationChannelPrefs' `visibleTo` asked `item.ceiling !== 'staff'`. That was
correct while `staff` was the only role-gated value, and the day `admin` arrived
it would have silently published every admin-ceilinged id -- the staff audit
digest, the economy thresholds -- to every player's preferences screen by name.
It now reads a TABLE (`ceilings.reachableBy`), so a ceiling added without an entry
fails closed instead. An EDITOR is the viewer that tells the two rules apart, and
the new tests use one.

MODULE_API_VERSION -> 1.8.0 on both halves. Additive: every declaration valid
under 1.7.0 is valid now and no stored value changes.

## Decision 5 -- 7.1 Q9: news.post gets an emitter, and it REPLACES the tickle

`news.post` has been a declared payload contract with no caller since Phase 2, so
a rule naming it could never fire. utils/newsNotify.js is the caller;
announceIfNewlyPublished now calls it instead of pushDispatch.publish, gated on
the same enqueueIfNeeded job id -- the single "newly published news" transition
signal, not re-derived.

**News push therefore stops on upgrade** until an operator enables the seeded
rule. That is the org lead's decision, taken over keeping the raw call beside the
emit "for one release": an exception with a deadline nobody owns, which Phase 6
already refused for Teams. The Rules screen gains a second migration notice
naming news, and Phase 13's release note carries it as an upgrade step.

**The seed needed its own one-shot key, and this is the trap worth recording.**
`engagement_team_rules_seeded` is already stamped on every deployment that has
booted since Phase 6, and the guard reads its presence -- so appending news to
RULES would have seeded it on fresh installs only, and on exactly the upgrades
that lose their raw push, never. One key per seed GROUP is now the rule;
seedGroup() is the shared implementation and seedCoreRules() is what boot calls.

Also fixes news.post's `postUrl` example, which named `/news/<slug>` -- a path
App.jsx does not mount. An example is what the template editor previews and
test-sends with, so a wrong one is a preview that looks right and a mail that is
not. It is `/site/news`, the list, which is what the Discord and town-crier
announcements have always linked.

1550 tests pass (16 new), 327 client tests pass, client builds, check:modules
clean -- core still names no module identifier with module-uo now registering 24
UO-named triggers.

ENGAGEMENT.md Phase 9, closing gap G16. Two mechanisms decide that somebody in a
rule's audience does not get the mail, and they sit at deliberately different
points in the pipeline.

`engagement_suppressions` is checked at DELIVERY: an outbox row can sit through a
rule's `delay_seconds` grace window and an address can bounce inside it, so the
only correct check is the one taken immediately before the transport call — which
is also what produces the `status='suppressed'` row with no transport call at all.

The Phase 1b verification gate is applied at ENQUEUE, through a new optional
`registerDeliveryChannel({ eligible })` that only `email` declares. Filtering the
shared audience would have silenced the wrong sink: a rule spanning email and
in-app must still put an item in an unverified user's inbox. The excluded counts
reach `summary.ineligible` and the admin reach preview, which until now reported
an audience size that was never the number of people who would be mailed.

`bounceClassify.js` is the only thing that may write a `bounce` row, and it is
deliberately NOT `mailer.PERMANENT_CODES`. That set answers "is retrying
pointless?" and contains EAUTH and 554 — an auth failure and a relay-wide policy
refusal, neither of which is a fact about the recipient. Reusing it would mean one
stale SMTP password suppressing every address the worker touched, silently. The
classifier reads the RFC 3463 enhanced status first, falls back to a phrase match
only past a veto list and only for 550/551/553, and does not suppress anything it
is unsure about.

Scope is engagement rules only: resets, invites, verification and the contact form
still attempt, matching the posture passwordReset.controller.js already stated.

Found on the live rig, against a real MariaDB and a real SMTP conversation: a hard
bounce was being recorded as `failed`, so the Send Log's "Bounced" filter — a
status `engagement_sends` has carried since §4.5 — matched nothing and always
would have. It is now its own outcome; the outbox row stays `failed`, since that
ENUM has no `bounced` and a bounced row is one that finished unsuccessfully.

`address_masked` is this phase's one addition to §4.5's DDL. A hash-only table
cannot be operated — an operator cannot tell three typos from a whole domain
refusing mail — and the domain survives while the local part is destroyed, so the
column can never be read back as an address book.

- schema: `engagement_suppressions` (+ `address_masked`, `created_by`)
- `GET/POST/DELETE /api/v1/admin/engagement/suppressions`, and Admin → Engagement
  → Suppressions, the only way out of the list
- `sendNotification` returns `smtp: { code, responseCode, response }`
- 26 new tests; swagger, routes manifest and guards regenerated

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.

Email becomes a DeliveryChannel driven by rules, and the Team pipeline stops being
its own thing. `teamNotify.forumPost` now emits an event; a rule decides who is
mailed, through which template, and how often at most. One walk goes forum write
-> events.emit -> rule -> outbox -> worker -> email channel -> template -> SMTP.

Seven decisions settled by the org lead before any code:

  - email only moves; the push tickle and the Discord bridge stay direct calls
  - the EVENT carries its access-checked audience, and `members` resolves to it
  - the four Team rules are seeded DISABLED, with an admin banner and a note
  - team_notification_prefs stays, read by the engine as a scoped preference
  - the payload wins and a structural projection fills the gaps
  - the digest keeps computing at send time; only its state generalizes
  - an unsubscribe token turns off the channel it names, and nothing else

Three defects found while building it:

  - `email.button` never absolutized its href, while image and itemList both
    did. Every rule-driven CTA would have been a dead relative link, because a
    trigger's url variables are validated site-relative by construction.
  - Phase 4a enqueued digest-mode recipients for a drain that Phase 6 decided
    not to build. An outbox row snapshots the payload and so has none of the
    three properties the digest design exists for, including the security one.
  - the digest's send-log row carried no address_hash while the instant row
    beside it did, which would have made half the mail uncorrelatable in Phase 9.

Also: engagement_digest_state + a replay-safe backfill, engagement_outbox.scope_key,
a v2 unsubscribe token that still verifies v1 forever, and the canonical
/public/engagement/unsubscribe pair with the old /public/teams path kept
permanently — mail is not editable once sent.

Verified with 1464 server tests, 324 client tests, and a live rig (MariaDB +
Mailpit + a real Team) covering the instant mail, the digest, the generic
template, a pre-migration unsubscribe link and the backfill's replay-safety.

Phase 5a gave templates a table, a renderer and nine seeded rows; nothing could
change one. This is the screen that lets an operator change one without being able
to break the mail the system depends on — plus the two screens Q4 promised Phase 5:
Triggers (read-only, from the registries) and the Send Log, which closes G15.

The shape follows from one fact: a mail body is rendered by the SERVER, so the
preview is too, and framed rather than redrawn in React. A client-side renderer
would be a second implementation of the one artifact that matters, agreeing with
the send path on the day it was written and drifting from the first Outlook fix on.

Settled with the org lead before any code: a shipped default is edited IN PLACE
(`protected` blocks deletion and nothing else, `customized = 1` keeps the edit);
duplicate is the only way to a new template; `renderByKey` now requires
`published`; a test send is logged under a synthetic `core.admin.test-send`; and a
template a rule points at refuses deletion with a 409 naming the rules.

Three things the plan did not know, found by building it:

  - The undeclared-variable check cannot be a token scan. `email.itemList.variable`
    holds a BARE name, so a digest pointed at `itmes` would have saved clean and
    arrived empty. Blocks now declare `variables(props)`; the editor makes that
    field a select over the trigger's list variables so the typo is unavailable.
  - A duplicate that drops `seed_key` loses its variable palette, so duplicating
    `notify.event` would have been refused for the tokens it was copied with — the
    one action §4.6.2 offers, refusing itself. The copy inherits it; `customized`
    is what the seeder actually reads.
  - `validateEmailBlocks` returns `{ valid, errors }`, not an array, and the first
    version tested it with `.length` — so block validation never ran at all.

Also fixes a Phase 4a defect the live walk found, with the org lead's approval: a
rule's template key was checked against a pattern with no dot in it, so no rule
could name any template that exists — §4.6.2's whole duplicate-and-point-a-rule-at-it
workflow was unreachable. Both models now read one pattern.

Verified against the running stack: real multipart mail into a mailpit catcher
including an unsaved draft, the draft/published arms both ways through the real
mailer path, every refusal, and the end-to-end duplicate → rule → 409 walk.

Every subject and body moves out of `mailer.js` into `engagement_templates` rows an
operator can edit. A relocation, not a regression: nothing that sends mail today
starts depending on an operator authoring something first.

- `email.*` block family in its own registry, sharing the page family's envelope
  walk and validate-then-sanitize order by binding rather than by copy.
- A server-side renderer producing both parts of a multipart message; the text
  part is byte-identical to the literals this commit deletes.
- Nine seeded templates, six of them wired now; the seeder's `customized = 0`
  guard lives in the UPDATE's own WHERE.
- `renderByKey` falls back to the shipped seed when a row is missing or unusable,
  so no failure of the table can stop a password reset.

Also fixes `check:hosts` reading the template key `auth.email-verify` as the
hostname `auth.email`.

The admin surface over the Phase 4a engine: two screens, twelve routes and the
reach preview. Nothing in the engine changed; what changed is that an operator
can now reach it.

Four decisions settled by the org lead before any code:

  - segments get their OWN nav entry, "Audiences", not a tab of the rules screen
  - the on/off switch is its own PATCH route, not a full PUT
  - the reach preview is a count only, on demand
  - a rule can be hard-deleted; the send log survives it

The switch is the one with real content in it. A PUT re-validates against the
registries as they are NOW, so the rules a re-validating toggle cannot switch
off are exactly the three an operator most wants stopped: a rule whose module
was uninstalled, one naming a channel that is gone, and one whose trigger has
since narrowed its ceiling under a saved audience. PATCH .../enabled writes one
column and always works. Switching ON unvalidated is safe because the engine
re-checks the ceiling at send time.

The preview calls the engine's own resolver rather than a second query that
agrees with it today, and answers a count and nothing else - the resolver's
output for a module-declared segment is a set of players derived from game data.
It reports `capped` at the 5000-row bound (the count is a floor, not a total),
`reason` for an `owner` audience (which resolves per event and has no advance
answer), and `permitted` so the editor cannot show a healthy number beside a
save the server will refuse.

Two defects found by walking it against a live server, both in Phase 4a's code:

  1. A rule pointing at a DORMANT segment read as healthy. listAnnotated asked
     only whether the segment ROW existed. The other shape of the same failure
     is a segment sitting exactly where it was whose every audience belongs to
     an uninstalled module: same outcome, nothing deleted. Uninstalling a module
     under an enabled rule produced a rule the screen showed as on and firing.
     The expression walk now lives in engagement/segments.js as
     `missingAudiences` and both lists ask it.
  2. "1 rule still use this segment" - the delete refusal pluralised the noun
     and not the verb, in the sentence an operator reads when told no.

Also: a rule's trigger is now a stated rule rather than an omission in the
UPDATE statement (its cooldowns, queued sends and history are all about one
trigger id); a condition tree the editor cannot render is shown read-only rather
than flattened, because flattening changes which events fire the rule; and
literals are coerced client-side to the type the trigger declared, with anything
that does not parse passed through unchanged so the server's refusal names the
variable.

Tests: 21 new server tests (test/engagementAdmin.test.js) and 25 client ones
(client/test/engagementRules.test.js), all green. The single failure in the
server suite (`the committed manifest matches the declarations in the tree`) is
the known Windows CRLF artifact and fails identically on clean edge.

Phase 4 of docs/website/ENGAGEMENT.md, split 4a/4b at the org lead's direction.
This is 4a: the engine, server only, with no HTTP surface at all. A fired trigger
now produces outbox rows and send-log entries; Admin - Engagement - Rules and the
segment composition UI are 4b.

Five tables (rules, audience segments, cooldowns, outbox, sends), the sweep
worker, audience resolution, condition evaluation, the grace window and its
cancellation, and the save-path validation 4b's form will call. engagementEmit's
Phase 2 log line becomes the engine call.

Two settled questions this phase was blocked on:

  Q2 (multi-instance) - neither SKIP LOCKED nor documented single-instance: the
  outbox claims each row with a compare-and-set into the 'sending' state the ENUM
  already carried. It makes the outbox safe for two instances, not the deployment.

  Q4 (admin surface) - its own top-level nav group, built in 4b.

Two defects in the plan's own section 4, both found by building it:

  The global UNIQUE(dedupe_key) was data loss. A dedupe key names the EVENT, and
  one event is one row per (rule, user, channel) - so a fifty-person audience
  would have had one row admitted and forty-nine silently ignored. Scoped.

  Section 4.1's single INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE cooldown claim always
  passes against this codebase's pool: the mariadb connector defaults
  foundRows:true, so a no-op update reports affectedRows 1 rather than 0. It is
  two statements now, with the interval guard in a WHERE clause.

The second defect is why there is a second test file. The stubbed suite was green
against the broken claim, because a stub can only agree with whoever wrote it;
engagementEngineSql.test.js runs the raw statements against a real MariaDB and
skips when there is none.

Verification: 43 new tests green in engagementEngine.test.js, 12 more against
MariaDB 11.8, and the whole path exercised end to end against a live database -
per-subject cooldowns, conditions, the CAS claim, the send log's honest failure
detail, and dormancy on uninstall. The three pre-existing Windows-only CRLF
failures in the generated-artifact tests are unchanged from clean edge.

`notification_subscriptions` answers one question — which streams a user wants
PUSHED — because that is the only question the shipped Android client can ask.
This adds the general one: which subscribable ids, on which channel, in which
mode. The old table becomes the push projection of the new one and keeps its
exact wire shape, so the shipped APK needs no update and no delivery path is
touched.

What lands:

- `engagement/channels.js` — `registerDeliveryChannel` (ENGAGEMENT.md §3.1), the
  declarative half only: id, label, `carriesContent`, `defaultMode`,
  `supportsDigest`. `addressFor`/`render`/`deliver` wait for Phases 6 and 7, for
  the reason `transports/index.js` deferred this file at all. `coreChannels.js`
  declares push / email / inapp through the subsystem's one door.
- `notification_channel_prefs` + a replay-safe `INSERT IGNORE … SELECT` backfill,
  copying the `announce_jobs → announce_job_legs` precedent.
- `GET · PUT /auth/me/notifications/channels`. The PUT is SPARSE — only the
  `(id, channel)` pairs named are written — deliberately unlike the two whole-set
  PUTs beside it. `off` is a mode rather than an omission, so this endpoint has
  no empty-array case and the kotlinx DTO gotcha cannot arise here.

Three decisions the org lead settled before any code, and one corrects the
phase's own acceptance criterion: push's `defaultMode` is `off`, not `instant`.
The plan borrowed "push is opt-OUT" from `team_notification_prefs`, where no row
does mean notified — but stream subscriptions have never worked that way, so
`instant` would have projected the whole catalog into the legacy GET for every
existing user and switched every toggle on in the shipped app after an upgrade
nobody asked for. A test pins the legacy GET at `{streams:[]}` for a fresh user.

One thing not named by the phase, and it is a G24 consequence rather than scope
creep: a trigger ceilinged at `staff` can never reach a non-staff user, so
offering the toggle would be offering a dead control AND disclosing the event
exists — `uo.cheat.detected` would otherwise appear in every player's screen the
moment Phase 11 declared it. Filtered from the catalog and gated on write. That
gave the `staff` label its first consumer, now written down as
`ceilings.STAFF_CEILING_ROLES` (the admin tier's three, deliberately not
`teamGrants.STAFF_ROLES`, which answers a different question).

15 new tests; swagger, route manifest and guards regenerated. No web or app
surface — those are Phases 7 and 8, where a preference governs something visible.

Makes `users.email` unique, de-duplicates the addresses an upgrade will find,
and builds the self-service change-and-verify flow that did not exist.

The uniqueness index is on a generated `email_norm AS (LOWER(email)) STORED`
column under `utf8mb4_bin`, NOT on `email` under a `_ci` collation as the plan
specified. Every case-insensitive collation this server offers is also
accent-insensitive: `josé@x.com` and `jose@x.com` compare equal, and those are
two different mailboxes. The plan's index would have refused the second address
forever and the de-duplication would have nulled a legitimate account's.

A requested address is STAGED in `email_pending` and only a tokened link
installs it, so a typo cannot silently redirect account-recovery mail.

`isDuplicateUsername()` now distinguishes the two indexes. All five call sites
branch on it; each answers differently on purpose, because a public form, an
IdP callback, a half-completed invite and an admin screen do not owe the same
person the same amount of truth.

SSO reads the IdP's actual `email_verified`/`verified` claim instead of
inferring verification from an address merely being present.

47c8b37d45 feat(email): remove Gmail OAuth2, put SMTP behind a transport registry
Engagement Phase 1 (docs/website/ENGAGEMENT.md §1.2a, §3.1, §3.2). A
subtraction and a replacement in one commit, because leaving the OAuth2
flow half-wired across a release is worse than either end state.

Deleted, per the §1.2a inventory: GET /admin/email/connect/start and
/connect/callback, the connectStart/connectCallback controllers with the
email_oauth_tx signed cookie, the PKCE verifier and CSRF nonce plumbing,
the https://mail.google.com/ scope, the borrowed `google` auth-providers
client, the OAuth2 nodemailer transport with its smtp.gmail.com:465
literals, the refresh-token decrypt in the model, and the client's
Connect Gmail button, redirect banner and six Gmail error strings.
`provider` and `refresh_token_enc` stay as columns under the
additive-only discipline, unread.

Added: a mail transport registry (server/src/engagement/transports) with
`smtp` as the sole registration. `credentialFields` is the single
declaration the admin form renders, the sanitizer filters against, and
the "is it secret" answer comes from, so adding a transport is a
registration rather than four edits. email_config gains transport /
credential_enc (one encrypted JSON blob, since the field list is the
transport's to declare) / reply_to.

All six call sites keep their exact failure contracts: the contact
form's mailto fallback, the invite's copyable link, the reset's generic
200, and sendTeamNotification's never-throws. One deliberate behaviour
change: `enabled` now gates every sender rather than only isConfigured()
— the connect flow used to set it as a side effect, and with a credential
form the toggle has to mean what it says.

Send-test becomes the real verification. Under OAuth2 the sender came
back from Google and was guaranteed to belong to the credential;
operator-typed, it can be refused, so failures name the sender and the
SPF/DMARC reason (§1.2a consequence 2).

G22, the silent degradation: an upgraded deployment backfills to smtp
with no credentials and every sink politely does nothing. The admin
dashboard now warns when the deprecated Gmail token is present and no
replacement credential is, so the one deployment this happens to is told.
A fresh install has never had mail and is not nagged.

Guardrails: new `npm run check:hosts` (§3.2 rule 4) with its own
self-test, wired into pr-checks before the install; routes.manifest and
routes.guards regenerated (-2 routes).

Walked against real MariaDB, the real app, and a fake standing in for Discord
that mounts the bot's real internal routes — everything up to the Discord API
call was production code. 47 assertions, and it found two things every unit
test in the phase had passed over.

1. **Every query failed: two result columns named `team_id`.** `desiredTeams`
   and `holdersWithoutClaim` both select `t.id AS team_id`, and the shared
   column list added `i.team_id` beside it. The `mariadb` driver refuses a
   result set with a repeated field name outright, so the pass died at its
   first query with "Error in results, duplicate field name `team_id`" — on the
   one code path every unit test stubs.

   It was also the wrong column: `desiredTeams` LEFT JOINs, so `i.team_id` is
   NULL for exactly the Teams that have no channel yet, which is the create
   case. The two queries that do not join `teams` now ask for it by name.

   The regression test checks the INTERPOLATED sql captured from a fake
   `query`, not the source text — in the source the shared list is still a
   `${COLUMNS}` placeholder, and a first attempt that read the file passed
   happily with the bug reintroduced.

2. **"Sync now" said "Nothing was done" while it was doing it.** Saving the
   settings with voice switched on asks for a pass. An operator who then
   presses Sync now — the obvious next thing — hit `running` and got back
   `ran: false, reason: "a pass is already running"`, which the panel renders
   as nothing having happened, while the pass they triggered was busy creating
   their channels. A pass in flight is now JOINED and its real outcome
   returned, the same choice `teamSync.reconcileNow` makes for the same reason.

Tests: 1162 server (+2), 53 bot, 284 client.

61abb3ec89 feat(teams): phase 9 — one voice channel per Team, granted by a role
TEAMS.md §7.3. Each qualifying Team gets a Discord voice channel of its own
and a role that opens it, kept in step by a reconciler that rides the Team
reconcile it already depends on.

Access is a per-Team ROLE, always. §7.3 designed per-member overwrites with
escalation to a role above ~90 members; the org lead settled on roles always
(2026-08-18), which deletes `voice_overwrite_max`, the escalation and the
`mode` column — and moves the ceiling. Overwrites are capped per channel, so
the old shape's limit was "how big can one Team be"; roles are capped per
guild at 250, so the new one is "how many Teams can have voice at all". That
is a limit an operator must be told about before they hit it, so the panel
reports it and the pass refuses the create rather than letting Discord do it.

Three things §7.3 named that this codebase does not have, all settled by
asking the operator because nothing in the data model can answer:

  - "the staff role" — there is no staff-role concept anywhere. Now a list of
    role ids the admin designates; empty is a normal answer, since guild
    administrators bypass overwrites and what is really missing is a way to
    let NON-admin staff in.
  - the parent category — §7.3 said the bot creates it and gave the id nowhere
    to live (`team_integrations.team_id` is NOT NULL). The bot creates it and
    the server stores the id in settings.
  - whether the bot can act at all — nothing has ever checked. The operator
    invites the bot by hand and no invite URL with a permission integer exists
    in the tree, so a deployment can be one unticked box from every call
    failing. A preflight is now a PRECONDITION to enabling (422), not a
    per-Team error discovered afterwards.

Two more, decided rather than asked:

  - the threshold counts every active member, not linked ones. §7.3 wrote
    `voice_min_linked_members`; the operator is judging whether a Team is real,
    and link state answers a different question.
  - hidden Teams are never provisioned. A channel name is a game-sourced string
    published outside the site, which is exactly §2.8's concern —
    reservedNames.js already names "and eventually a Discord channel name" as a
    surface it protects — so the screen that suppresses a Team's page suppresses
    its channel, and a Team that becomes hidden takes the grace window.

Turning voice OFF tears nothing down: the pass suspends in both directions and
the panel offers per-row removal. A checkbox must not delete structure in
somebody's guild.

Fixes a phase 8 defect that blocks this phase's own artifact: `npm run swagger`
has been unable to run on `edge` at all. `param('teamId').custom((v) => ... ||
/^[0-9]+$/.test(v))` makes swagger-autogen's parser run away — a regex literal
followed directly by `.test(`. Hoisted to a const, as modules.router.js
already does. Underneath it, `teams.router.js` sits exactly at that parser's
per-file limit: at twenty `teamsRouter.*` statements it dies, at nineteen it
generates, and one more statement of ANY shape tips it — an unannotated route
does, and so does a bare `use`. So the voice routes are their own router file
mounted from `admin/index.js`, and teams.router.js keeps its nineteen.

Also breaks a require cycle this phase would have introduced:
teamSync -> teamVoiceSync -> teams.model -> teamSync left `teams.model` holding
the reconciler's exports object as it stood mid-load — the empty one, since
`module.exports = {…}` replaces rather than fills. The symptom is not in the
new code: it is `teamSync.intervalSeconds is not a function` thrown out of
`syncStatus()`, the freshness banner on every public Team page.

Tests: 1160 server (+40), 53 bot (+21), 284 client (+21). Swagger, routes
manifest and guards regenerated; the guard shape of the four new routes is
byte-identical to the existing admin-only ones.

11b4368b57 feat(teams): phase 8 — the notifications bridge, and the gate §7.2 could not check

The same Team event as §6, delivered a third time: push, email, and now a
Discord channel the operator configured. Not a second pipeline — teamNotify.js
already computed the recipient set once, so the bridge is a sink beside the two
that were there.

The design's gate has no data source. §7.2 bridges an event only if "its
visibility is public, or its destination channel is configured for a
members-only Team context". The four team.* streams carry no visibility; forum
threads have no public/members column because a forum is members-only by
construction; and core cannot see a Discord channel's permissions. So §7.2's own
example config names exactly the two events that are never public.

The gate is therefore an attributed operator acknowledgement, in the shape
teams_forum_uploads_ack already uses. It is a precondition — 422, not a quiet
drop at delivery — it is re-asked at delivery as well as at the save, and
changing the channel clears it, because an acknowledgement is about a
destination and cannot survive the destination changing underneath it.

The design's DDL cannot hold its own default row: MariaDB coerces every PRIMARY
KEY column to NOT NULL, so `team_id NULL` — the deployment-wide default every
override overrides — is unrepresentable. Proved on a real MariaDB (error 1048).
Replaced with a surrogate id, a generated team_key AS IFNULL(team_id, 0) in the
unique key, and the foreign key the original had no room for.

One-shot, not queued: "identical to announce and mod-reverse" names two
different reliability models, and a Team notification is the moment it
describes.

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.

Found walking the live rig, which is the only place it could be found: every unit
test and the settings screen itself send every row, so the bug was invisible to
both.

`PUT /auth/me/notifications/teams` documents itself as replacing the whole set. It
did not — it wrote the entries it was given and left every other preference
standing. So `{"teams": []}` cleared nothing, which is precisely the body the route
requires the array for: the field is mandatory even when empty so that clearing
everything is expressible, and it was the one thing that did not work.

A Team the caller could have named and did not now returns to its defaults. RESET
rather than deleted, and the difference is `last_digest_at`: that column is the
digest worker's state and not a preference, so dropping the row with it would make
every visit to the settings screen re-open a day-wide digest window and mail
somebody a summary they had already read.

Walked again after the fix on the real database: the empty set clears, an entry
naming a Team the caller is not in is still dropped, and the digest stamp survives.

2a56cbf22a feat(teams): fire the four events, and the routes that configure them
The roster sync tickles at most ONCE per stream per run, not once per member: a
tickle is content-free, so five people joining in one sweep is five identical
notifications and one piece of information. Suppressed on a Team's FIRST roster,
the same condition the activity feed uses and the half where it matters more —
importing a 155-member guild would otherwise wake every one of their phones.

Forum notifications fire from the CONTROLLER, not from the forum model. That file
takes an already-resolved access decision and reads no membership table by design;
the fan-out reads both to compute its recipients, so calling it from inside would
make the forum model transitively depend on exactly what its header says it must
not touch. The model returns a `notify` key the controller destructures out before
the response, so the API's answer to "did my post save" is unchanged.

`pageUrlTemplate` joins the team provider — the one thing phase 6 found that the
design of record had not anticipated. Phase 3 left core with no Team page and
therefore no way to LINK to one, so a notification email could name a Team and not
take you to it. It is data rather than a callback: a function would put a module
hook on the mail path to produce a string that never varies. Relative paths only,
and protocol-relative is refused with absolute.

The unsubscribe endpoint is the only write in the public tier and the only route
with no `siteMode` — the reader is in their mail client, and the mail went out
before the site went into maintenance. POST always answers 200, valid token or
forged: distinguishing them would be an oracle for which (user, Team) pairs exist.
GET redirects and acts on nothing, so a mail client's link scanner cannot mute
Teams nobody asked to leave.

26c23bd603 feat(teams): the notification core — four streams, and a recipient set
Phase 6's foundation: the fan-out shape the existing pipeline could not express.

`pushDispatch.publish` answers "everyone subscribed to a stream" and "this one
owner". Team notifications need "these N users", because Team scoping cannot live
in a stream id: the catalog is a static registration validated at boot against a
namespaced pattern, so a stream per Team is unexpressible, and stream ids are
stored in `notification_subscriptions` rows that would need collecting every time
a Team archived. So there are FOUR fixed core streams and the Team lives entirely
in the recipient set.

`team_notification_prefs` is opt-out for push and opt-IN for email — the two sinks
default opposite ways, and the asymmetry lives in the column defaults so no
condition anywhere has to remember it.

One recipient query serves all four streams, because §6.2's two populations are
the same set written twice: "active members with a user_id plus active grants" IS
"everyone with resolved forum access". Mutes are subtracted in SQL rather than by
the caller — there is no function here that returns an unfiltered set.

128de0ff2e test(teams): phase 5's server surface, and the negative property under it
1008 pass (972 before). The tests worth reading first are the ones that pin a
property no screen would look different without:

  * **The edit window is decided on the server, twice.** One test proves the read
    path stamps `canEdit` per post per viewer; another proves the WRITE path
    re-derives it from `created_at` and refuses a stale edit even though the
    client was told it could — because a time-bounded permission must not take its
    clock from the party it bounds.

  * **A locked thread refuses staff too**, asserted over member, leader and staff
    in one loop, at 409 rather than 403: well-formed request, refusing state.

  * **delete → restore is reversible for images.** Without the second half of the
    pair a restored post returns its words and loses its pictures a retention
    window later, silently — the test asserts both calls and that `hide` makes
    neither.

  * **Post moderation recomputes the thread's counters** rather than nudging them;
    the test runs hide → unhide → hide, which is the cycle a delta gets wrong.

  * **acceptance: nothing in the report model is reachable by a Team leader.** The
    negative property is the whole point of §5.6 and negatives are what nobody
    notices going, so it is asserted directly — the module's function surface is
    pinned, and `queue`/`handle` are checked not to mention leadership at all. If
    a leader-facing queue is ever wanted it is the org lead's decision, and this
    test is what makes somebody ask.

  * **A report never changes the content it is about**, proved by stubbing every
    mutation the forum has to throw. If filing a report touched a status then
    "report" would BE moderation, and the first person to work that out would have
    found a way to hide anything on the site.

The test suite caught one real defect: `describeTarget` returned `undefined` for a
hard-deleted target, and `undefined` is dropped by JSON.stringify — so the
documented `target: null` would have reached clients as an absent key.

Two phase-4 tests were updated rather than added to, both because phase 5 changed
what they describe: `canPost` split into `canPost` (open a discussion, everyone)
and `canAnnounce` (leaders), and `discussion` is no longer a refused thread type.
Phase 5's four new player routes are added to acceptance criterion 2's list, so
"with the forum off every forum route 404s" keeps covering the whole surface.

fff14848f1 feat(moderation): member-raised abuse reports, to site staff only
TEAMS.md §5.6. **Core has had no user-facing report flow of any kind** — the
`moderation`, `mod_notes` and `appeals` tables are all either staff-initiated or
Discord-sanction-shaped, and nothing anywhere let a member say "this is a
problem". That was survivable while every piece of content on the site came from
staff; phase 5 lets players write to each other, so it stops being.

The gap has a specific shape: leaders moderate their own Team's forum, and a
Team's leaders are exactly the people who will not report their own Team. So the
whole point of this queue is a path that routes AROUND a Team's own leadership.
Org lead settled it on 2026-08-18: **reports are site administration only** —
there is no leader-facing view of this queue, not even a read-only one scoped to
their own Team. §5.6's "a leader may also see and act on reports for their own
Team" is not implemented and is not deferred.

`content_reports` is deliberately generic — `target_type` is a VARCHAR so a wiki
page or a news comment becomes a value rather than a table — and the queue is
mounted beside appeals under /admin/moderation rather than under Teams, because a
staffer working a queue should have one place to work.

**§5.6's literal unique key has a defect and this does not copy it.** Written as
(target_type, target_id, reporter_user_id, status) it makes CLOSED rows collide
with each other too: reporter reports a post, staff dismiss it, the behaviour
recurs, they report again — and the second dismissal is an UPDATE into a tuple
that already exists, so working the queue starts throwing duplicate-key errors on
the first repeat reporter. The key is on a generated `open_marker` instead, the
same trick `team_forum_grants.active_marker` uses: 1 while open, NULL once
closed, and NULLs are distinct — which is what §5.6's prose asks for, "one open
report per (target, reporter)".

Two other departures from the doc, both small and both flagged in the docs PR:
`handled_note`, because a queue whose resolution reason lives only in an
activity_log line is one where the next staffer to see a repeat report cannot
find out why the last was dismissed; and a CASCADE on `team_id`, so a deleted
Team does not leave a queue full of reports about content that no longer exists.

Also here: a report is filed against a target the model verifies really belongs to
the Team the request came through, or the queue's per-Team filter would quietly be
lying; the queue resolves every row's target in three batched reads rather than
N+1, which is §5.6's fourth rule (uploader, size and sniffed type without
hunting) actually paying for §5.5.4's attribution table; a target that has since
been hard-deleted comes back null and the report still lists, because "somebody
reported this and by the time we looked it was gone" is a fact a moderator needs;
and every transition writes activity_log, `dismissed` included — a queue where
acting is audited and declining to act is not is one where the cheapest way to
make a report vanish leaves no trace.

`teams_forum_edit_window_minutes` gains its range validation on the admin settings
PUT and is seeded at 15, so the value on the settings screen is the value in
force. Route manifest and OpenAPI regenerated: 6 operations added, 0 lost.

ae0d27cf27 feat(teams): discussion threads, replies, the edit window and post moderation
Phase 5's server half — TEAMS.md §5.1's "5b". The schema for all of it landed in
phase 4, so this adds no ALTER: every column it needed (`type`, `locked`,
`edited_at`, `edited_by`, the post table's `status`, the ledger's
`target_type='post'`) was already there waiting.

  * `teams_forum_edit_window_minutes` (0…1440, default 15) joins the forum's
    settings. It fails closed to ZERO rather than to its default, which is the
    opposite of what it looks like it should do: the risk an edit window bounds is
    an author rewriting a post out from under a reader quoting it or a moderator
    about to act on a report, so the safe answer during a DB fault is "nobody may
    edit for the next minute". A stale uploads acknowledgement freezes this key
    too — it is a forum setting.

  * Thread creation splits its authority BY TYPE, which is what phase 4's comment
    said would happen here rather than widening the leader gate. An announcement
    stays leader-authored; a discussion is open to every participant, and
    "participant" includes a granted non-member with no game identity — path 3
    doing its job. `type` still defaults to `announcement`, so a phase-4 client
    keeps meaning what it meant.

  * Replies refuse three ways with deliberately different codes: 404 for absent or
    hidden, 400 for an announcement (which takes no replies by TYPE, not by being
    closed), and 409 for locked — well-formed request, refusing state. Locked
    refuses staff too; they hold `unlock`, and unlock/post/relock reaches the same
    place leaving three ledger rows that say so.

  * The edit window is evaluated on the server twice, on purpose. The read path
    stamps every post with `canEdit`/`editableUntil` so the client knows whether to
    draw the control; the write re-derives it from `created_at` before allowing
    anything. A time-bounded permission must not take its clock from the party it
    bounds. Staff are not time-bounded, and a staff edit of someone else's words
    writes `activity_log` while a member fixing their own typo does not (§5.3).

  * Post moderation shares the thread ledger via `target_type='post'`, so
    "everything moderated in this Team" stays one query. `pin`/`lock` are refused
    by name rather than as unknown actions — they describe a thread's place in a
    list and its openness to replies, neither of which a post has. Counters are
    RECOMPUTED after each action rather than nudged, because hide → unhide → hide
    is a cycle a delta gets wrong the first time a step is retried.

Two fixes to phase 4 code this work reached: `softDeleteUploadsForPost` bound its
two arguments in the wrong order (never fired — nothing called it until post
deletion did), and it had no inverse, so `delete` → `restore` would have returned
a post's words and silently lost its pictures a retention window later.

5baada08ef fix(teams): four defects the live rig found in the forum
All checks were successful
PR Checks / bot-install (pull_request) Successful in 22s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 34s
PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 8m48s
None of these could fail a unit test, and three of them break the feature for the
operator rather than for the code.

**The uploads acknowledgement was a one-way door.** A settings form sends every
field it owns, so once `teams_forum_images` was `uploads`, every later save
re-sent `uploads` — and the gate fired on the VALUE being present rather than on
the mode being SELECTED. The operator could never change a forum setting again,
and the thing they would reach for in a hurry, switching the forum off, was
exactly what came back 400. The gate now passes when an acknowledgement for the
version in force is already on record AND uploads is already the stored mode:
there is no new consent to take. A transition INTO uploads still asks, and a
reworded notice is still caught by assertSettingsWritable.

**An uploaded image could never become a picture.** `uploads` mode hands the
composer `/uploads/<name>.png`, the composer puts it in the body as text — the
author never writes markup, which is the whole design — and the renderer only
rewrites ANCHORS. The linkifier matched absolute http(s) URLs only, so the write
path could not produce the anchor the read path looks for, even though
`isEmbeddableImageUrl` had accepted those paths since the first commit. The two
halves disagreed and only a real upload showed it.

**The embed sat beside its link, not beneath it**, because an <img> is inline, and
nothing capped a remote image to the column — one post from a host serving a
4000px file would have blown the layout out. Core now emits `class="forum-embed"`
and the stylesheet owns both. A class rather than an inline style because the
style would then have to survive the client's DOMPurify pass, and its CSS
sanitiser is a larger thing to reason about than one class name.

**The panel's buttons had no button styling.** `btn-ghost` is a MODIFIER — every
other call site in this codebase pairs it with the base `btn` — so alone it
contributed colours and no geometry, and the controls rendered as bare boxes.
Small inline actions use `pill`, which is what the rest of the admin surface uses
for exactly these. Same class of mistake as the Material one in the Android M12
phase: the modifier carries no base.

Also: the post body now re-sanitises client-side like every other body-HTML
surface on this site, with `ADD_ATTR: ['referrerpolicy']`. That argument is
load-bearing — DOMPurify's default allowlist carries `loading` but not
`referrerpolicy`, so a plain sanitize() call silently strips the one attribute
limiting what a remote embed leaks to the host serving it, which is the privacy
property the admin help text promises.

4ac353684a feat(teams): harden the upload path for an uploader who is not an admin
The existing admin upload path is already good for an admin: an 8 MB cap, a
mimetype allowlist, a random filename, an extension derived from the mimetype map
and never from originalname, and nosniff forced on serve. All of it is kept. What
it does not have is anything that assumes a hostile uploader, because until now it
has not had one.

Magic-byte sniffing, because `file.mimetype` is the client's own Content-Type
header — a player can send image/png with arbitrary bytes and land arbitrary
content under a .png. Unrecognised bytes are a rejection and never a fallback to
what the header claimed. The file is on disk before it can be sniffed, so the
rejection path removes it: a rejected upload left on disk is the same
disk-exhaustion vector reached another way.

A rolling per-account byte quota and a per-IP rate limit, because community uploads
with no ceiling is disk exhaustion on the operator's own host.

An attribution row per accepted file. Not bookkeeping: the acknowledgement is
meaningless if "who uploaded this" cannot be answered afterwards, which is exactly
what the operator has just accepted responsibility for.

A nightly sweep for soft-deleted files past retention and for never-referenced
orphans, in the same in-process shape as the activity prune. It runs whether or not
`uploads` is the current mode, and that is the point — an operator who turns
uploads off after a problem still has the files, and a sweep that switched itself
off with the setting would strand exactly the bytes they were trying to be rid of.
It works from the forum's own rows outward and never from the directory listing
inward, because UPLOAD_DIR is shared with the admin upload path.

e27c368234 feat(teams): the grant flow, announcements, and the routes behind both guards
Path 3's WRITE half. The resolver landed in phase 2; this is who may hand access
out, to whom, and what stops a leader turning a Team forum into open hosting on
the operator's site.

Two authorities, and not one authority with different reach. Staff may act on any
Team, uncapped, and may revoke anything. A leader may grant and revoke ordinary
access on their own Team, is capped at `teams_max_grants_per_team` (default 50),
is rate-limited, and may NOT revoke a staff-issued grant — which is what stops a
leader undoing a moderation decision. The issuer's role is checked at revoke time
rather than stored, so an account that has since lost its staff role stops
protecting the grants it made.

Nothing on this path writes team_members, in either direction. A grant may name any
account, including one with no linked game identity — that is the point of it — and
that account stays off the roster, out of every count, and ineligible for external
platforms.

Announcements are a degenerate thread rather than their own object, so phase 5 adds
no migration. Moderation records WHICH authority was exercised: a staff action also
writes activity_log, a leader's writes only the Team's own ledger. Merging the two
would make a guild leader locking a thread an appealable Discord sanction.

Every forum route answers 404 while the switch is off, and 404 — never 403 — to a
caller with no access: in a private room the contents and the existence are the
same secret. The grant routes deliberately answer even while the forum is OFF,
because a toggle-off revokes no grant and the access list has to stay manageable.

Under /player rather than /admin: a leader is a player, and the /admin tier gate is
requireRole('admin','editor','moderator') — putting a leader endpoint behind it
would mean widening that gate.

11fd9821bf feat(teams): the forum schema, the operator's two switches, and the ack gate
The whole forum schema lands at once — threads, posts, the moderation ledger and
upload attribution — including the columns only phase 5's discussion threads use.
That is TEAMS.md 5.1's split BY LAYER rather than by feature: phase 5 opens paths
instead of migrating data.

Three settings keys, and only one of them is ordinary. `teams_forums_enabled` and
`teams_forum_images` are enum keys on the existing admin settings endpoint;
`teams_forum_images` also carries a server-side PRECONDITION, which is why the
three live in their own model rather than in the generic setMany() loop where a
reader would never find it.

The gate is the server's. `PUT teams_forum_images = 'uploads'` is rejected 400
unless the same request carries the acknowledgement version — the admin checkbox
is how the gate is presented, never the gate. What is stored is the TEXT VERSION,
so "which wording did they agree to" is answerable later; settings already record
updated_by/updated_at, and an activity_log row puts it in the staff audit trail.

A reworded notice makes a stored acknowledgement stale, and neither obvious answer
is right: uploads KEEP WORKING, and no other forum setting may be saved until it is
re-given. Non-destructive, and impossible to ignore.

Both reads fail closed. A DB fault reports the forum off and images disabled — a
forum that 404s for a minute is the cheap failure; a policy that is not a policy
is not.

All checks were successful

PR Checks / client-build (pull_request) Successful in 29s
PR Checks / server-tests (pull_request) Successful in 35s
Org lead's correction, and it changes what this phase ships.

TEAMS.md §3.1 and §3.5 put four public pages and three nav rows in core. They
should never have been core's. **Teams is the platform primitive that the API
contract exposes; the module builds the pages on top of it.** module-uo builds
guilds; the Rust module that comes next builds clans. Core does not own the word
for a Team, so a core page under a noun core invented would have sat beside
module-uo's existing /uo/guilds saying the same thing in the wrong vocabulary.

Removed: /teams, /teams/:slug, /teams/:slug/roster, /player/teams, the public
and portal nav rows, the `teams` feature flag and the core feature provider that
answered it. /admin/teams stays — an operator inspecting the primitive is
looking at the primitive.

Kept, and unchanged: the tables, the reconciler, the access resolver, the
activity feed, the retention prune, the whole public/player/admin API,
optionalAuth and the roster projection. That is the contract, and it is what
this phase was actually for.

**So the extension slots invert, which is a new direction in MODULE_API §3.7.**
`team.overview` and `team.member.row` assumed core rendered the page. In their
place `registry.declareModuleSlot(id, name)` lets a MODULE declare a place on
its own page and core fill it. Core fills `uo.guild.detail` with the Team
activity feed — the one part of that page core cannot hand over, because only
core can resolve whether the viewer is inside the Team and the public/members
split is a security boundary.

Three things about the inverted direction are load-bearing:

  - the name is namespaced under the declaring module and that is enforced, not
    conventional: it is the only thing keeping two modules off one name;
  - core's fills are applied at MOUNT rather than eagerly. Core's bundle
    evaluates before every module chunk, so when core registers a fill the slot
    does not exist yet — filling eagerly would silently do nothing;
  - a fill for a slot nobody declared is a no-op, never an error. The declaring
    module is simply not installed, which is the ordinary case. That is the
    opposite of §3.7, where an unknown slot throws, and the asymmetry is real:
    there, core declares first, so an unknown name is always a typo.

`Slot` becomes the eighth member of the shared UI kit, so a module renders the
place with core's own error boundary. It matters more here than anywhere else in
the kit: the thing being contained is core's content failing inside the module's
page.

`GET /public/teams/by-external/:moduleId/:externalId` is added because a module
names a Team in its own vocabulary and core keys the feed by slug. The module id
is matched rather than trusted — an external id is unique only within a module.

03631d7d40 feat(teams): the roster's audience projection, and optionalAuth to resolve it
TEAMS.md §3.3, as the eighth member of MODULE_API 1.6.0 — amended in place per
the org lead, on the rule Protocol 4 was given in phase 2: a contract owes a
bump only once it has landed on `main`.

Two questions meet on the roster and they belong to different owners. WHICH
ROWS a viewer may see is the module's, because the audience rungs and their
configuration live there and core does not know what a rung is. WHAT A ROW
LOOKS LIKE stays core's.

So `projectRoster` answers with member KEYS, not rows. §3.3 said rows, and rows
would let a module widen what is published — handing back a `userId` core had
withheld — leaving core's field guarantee resting on every module's good
behaviour. Core asks which rows and re-normalises the answer through its own
public shape, so a module can narrow and cannot widen.

"The module declines" needed splitting before it could be implemented. No
module at all and a module whose rungs could not be consulted are opposite
situations: the first withholds nothing and must serve the roster whole, the
second must serve none of it. The refusal carries `projects`, and only
`projects: true` fails closed. Without the split, bare core serves an empty
roster on every Team page.

This is also the first public route whose CONTENT depends on identity, which
needed a middleware core did not have. `attachSession` only decodes a token, so
a banned account, a password change or a logout would have kept working against
the private half of a feed until the JWT expired. `optionalAuth` runs
requireAuth's full database re-validation and, on any failure, continues
ANONYMOUSLY rather than rejecting — a caller whose session is no longer good
sees the public view, which is what they are entitled to.

`GET /public/teams/:slug/activity` lands here for the same reason: §2.11's route
table had no activity endpoint though §4.3 describes a filtered feed. Paged,
with the visibility resolved from the session and never from a parameter.

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.

The eighteen routes of docs/website/TEAMS.md §2.11, their OpenAPI annotations,
and the staff screen that drives them.

Two rules shape the read model. Hidden means absent from every public surface --
the index, the lookup and the roster alike, and a hidden Team 404s
indistinguishably from one that does not exist, because "absent" includes not
confirming it is there. And staleness is surfaced rather than silent: every
public payload carries { configured, stale, lastSyncAt }, so a page can say how
recently the projection was confirmed instead of presenting stale data as
current.

The public roster withholds both the member key and the user id -- one is a
game-internal identifier, the other names a site account. `linked` answers the
only question a public page has without publishing which account. The module's
per-audience field projection is phase 3's; this is a conservative core one.

The §2.9 gate is enforced per REQUEST, not per route. A moderator may call all
eighteen; three of them mean something different when they do, and the server
decides from the role it re-validates on every request rather than from a token
claim. The client has no "file as request" argument to get wrong.

Found by booting the real server against the real database, and not by any test:
**the index and the by-slug lookup disagreed about what exists.** listPublic was
keyed on a registered team provider while findBySlug is not, so with no module
installed `/teams` returned an empty list while `/teams/:slug/members` served a
full roster -- the index denying a Team that direct URLs answered for in full.
The rows are core's and they outlive the module that filled them: an uninstalled
module leaves a projection that is unmaintained, not one that stopped existing,
and `configured: false` is how a client learns that. The read side no longer
takes the provider into account at all. There is now a test named for the
property.

Also verified live: the public routes answer anonymously, an unknown and a hidden
slug both 404, the player and admin tiers 401 an anonymous caller, a seeded
roster projects correctly, and the reconciler logs that it is staying idle with
no provider registered rather than failing a boot.

Process obligations, all done: #swagger.* annotations on every route, `npm run
swagger` regenerated (18 paths in the spec, no dangling $refs, and the schemas
they reference added), `npm run routes:manifest` regenerated -- additions only,
184 public routes -- and BACKEND_DESIGN.md updated across the schema section and
all three tier tables.

Admin -> Teams follows the ModulesAdmin precedent: everything that decides what a
row SAYS lives in lib/teamAdmin.js, which is plain JS with tests, and the view
renders it. That split earns itself here specifically -- the screen's job is to
make "the shard has no Teams" and "core has not been able to ask for two hours"
impossible to confuse, and those two produce the same empty table. The four
freshness states are named and tested for exactly that reason, and the last
provider error is shown verbatim rather than paraphrased.

The button labels follow the caller's role: a moderator sees "Request publish",
so the pending result is not a surprise. Hiding is offered to everyone with no
gate, matching the server.

Server 894 passed, client 206 passed, client build clean. 17 route tests, 20
client display tests.

8fe2e01466 feat(teams): reserved-name screening, auto-hide, and the admin-approval gate
The one place untrusted game data becomes a public page (docs/website/TEAMS.md
§2.8), and the gate on releasing it (§2.9).

A Team's name is written by a player, in the game, with no review, and this
platform turns it into a public page, a URL and eventually a Discord channel
name. Someone naming their guild "Admin" or "<Brand> Staff" gets an
official-looking page on the operator's own site for free.

Hide, never reject. Core cannot refuse a name -- the guild already exists in the
game and core is a mirror of it, not an authority over it. A match hides the Team
from public surfaces and files it in a review queue, and it keeps working
completely for its own members: their forum, their grants, their notifications.
The people in it are not being punished for a name their leader chose.

That asymmetry -- a false positive costs a human glance, a false negative costs
an impersonated staff page -- is what lets the matcher be conservative. It is not
licence to be sloppy the other way: a check that fires on "Badminton" gets
switched off, and then the real cost is paid in full. So matching is whole WORDS
after normalisation, never substrings, following the precedent
scripts/checkModuleIdentifiers.js set for exactly this reason.

Three matcher gaps found by writing the tests, all real impersonation vectors:

  - "Guild of Moderators" did not match `moderator`. Only a trailing s off the
    WHOLE term is stripped, so "Nomads" still does not match `mod`.
  - "G.M." normalises to two single-letter words and matched nothing. A run of
    two or more single-letter words is now also offered joined. Deliberately not
    a whole-name condensation, which would re-admit substring matching.
  - The multi-word condensed form was already handled and is what makes
    "RunicGateway" match the two-word term -- the form an impersonator would
    reach for, since it is what the Gitea org and every URL use.

Terms resolve at CHECK time, never baked in, so renaming a deployment protects
the new name without a redeploy. A failed settings read falls back to the static
role and project terms rather than to an empty list: screening fewer terms is
bad, screening none is the whole hole.

Re-screening runs on every reconcile, over names no human has ruled on. Names are
immutable per row, so it only ever changes an outcome when the TERM LIST changed
-- an operator adding one, or a rename -- which is exactly what a create-time-only
check would miss forever. `name_reviewed_at` is what makes a staff decision
sticky; without it an override would be undone every fifteen minutes.

The gate is scoped to three actions because they publish untrusted game-sourced
strings, and to nothing else. Ordinary forum grants, leadership overrides,
archives and forum moderation still apply immediately and are audited. A
moderator initiating one files a pending request; an admin applies at once.
Never four-eyes on admins: users.role defaults to admin and `npm run seed`
creates exactly one, so most deployments have precisely one and a second-approver
rule would wedge them with no way out.

Hiding is deliberately NOT gated. Publishing untrusted data needs a second pair
of eyes; withdrawing it needs to be possible at once, by whoever is on duty.

Two concurrency details worth the review: a decision moves the row out of
`pending` under a guard and applies its effect only if the row actually moved,
so two admins clicking approve cannot double-apply or overwrite each other's
record; and a JSON payload is parsed defensively, because the driver returns
JSON columns already parsed on some versions and as a string on others.

Screening is stubbed in the reconciler's own tests -- it is a separate unit, and
the real call reads settings, which this suite must never do against a live
database. That was caught the hard way: the suite went from 11s to hanging, and
the cause was the reconciler reaching a dead pool through the new call.

44 tests in the reconciler file (up from 39), 19 for the matcher, 25 for the
gate. Full suite 877 passed, 0 failed.

The four authority paths of docs/website/TEAMS.md §2.5, and the rule that they
stay four: four tables answering four questions, and no resolver reads another
path's table.

  1. Is this account a member?        module  team_members
  2. Does this account lead the Team?  module  team_members.is_leader + override
  3. May it use the Team forum?        CORE    team_forum_grants OR path 1
  4. May it get external access?       CORE    derived, nothing of its own

The temptation this resists is collapsing 1 and 3 into one boolean. They answer
different questions about different populations: a forum grant may name any
Runic Gateway account, including one with no game identity at all -- that is the
point of it, since letting an unlinked guildmate into a forum must not require a
staff ticket. Reading "has forum access" as "is a member" would put that person
on the public roster, into every membership count, and into the external-platform
grant, which is where a modelling preference becomes an impersonation risk.

Path 4 is deliberately blind to path 3, and the reason is written down so nobody
"fixes" it: an integration cannot verify that an unlinked, forum-granted account
corresponds to a real game member, so it must not hand that account a privilege
on a platform where impersonation has consequences. A forum is a room on the
operator's own site with a known moderator; a Discord role is an identity claim
in someone else's space.

Leadership overrides are applied ON TOP of the synced value at read time, never
written into the projection. The sync owns that column and rewrites it every
interval, so an override stored there would be undone fifteen minutes after
staff set it -- which is the whole reason §2.5.1 is a separate table. The roster
carries both the resolved answer and `is_leader_synced`, so an admin sees that a
decision was made rather than being shown it as fact.

Three tests are named INVARIANT rather than for behaviour, because what they
protect is structural and a reasonable-looking refactor destroys it silently: a
grant never writes the membership projection, a granted user is absent from the
roster, and a grant does not confer external eligibility. None of those failures
appears on a screen as a bug -- the first shows up as a stranger on a public
roster, the second as a Discord role handed to an account nobody can tie to a
real player.

Every unit test here stubs the db layer, so the SQL itself was verified
separately: all 44 statements across teams.db.js and teamAccess.db.js were run
against MariaDB 11 with a throwaway module id and cleaned up after. That run
also confirmed live what the reconciler's tests could only assert against a
stub -- an upsert does not overwrite is_leader, a revoked grant frees the unique
key for a new one while the ledger keeps both, and an archived team stays
resolvable at its old slug while its external_id is free for the successor row.

19 tests. Full suite 828 passed, 0 failed.

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.

732927a6bb fix(modules): three defects a real install exposed (phase 4, slice 1)
Standing the slice-2 screen up against a live server and installing the
published module-uo v0.3.0 through it found three things, none of which any
unit test in this repo could have caught. Two of them are older than this
phase.

1. The boot refresh nulled every install's provenance
--------------------------------------------------------
`installed_modules.source` and `.sha256` exist so the admin panel can say
where a module came from. They never survived a restart.

`lifecycle.boot()` re-records every scanned module with no source and no
sha256 -- correctly, because a scan finds a directory and never where it came
from -- and `upsert` assigned both columns unconditionally. So an install's
provenance lasted exactly until the restart that install asked for, and the
screen then described a module installed from a URL as "placed on the volume
by hand". Verified live: install, restart, provenance gone.

Nothing could have caught it before now. Phase 4 wrote the first non-null
value these columns had ever had, so lifecycle.js's comment asserting that
"recordInstalled leaves what it is not given" described an intention rather
than the statement below it -- and modules.model.test.js's fake reproduced
the defect faithfully, assigning unconditionally just like the SQL.

Fixed with COALESCE(VALUES(col), col): a value overwrites, a NULL leaves what
is there. The fake now matches, and two tests pin both directions -- a boot
refresh must not wipe it, and a re-install from a new URL must still replace
it, or the column would become write-once and an upgrade would for ever show
where the first version came from.

2. The restart killed the server on Windows instead of stopping it
------------------------------------------------------------------
The route called `process.kill(process.pid, 'SIGTERM')` to reach server.js's
graceful-shutdown handler. That works on Linux. **Windows has no POSIX
signals, and Node documents SIGTERM there as unconditional termination of the
target process** -- so on a Windows host the restart killed the server
outright: no module onShutdown, no listener close, no pool close, no log
flush. Observed exactly that: the process was gone and the shutdown handler
had logged nothing at all.

`process.on('SIGTERM', ...)` is an ordinary EventEmitter listener, so
`process.emit('SIGTERM')` reaches the same handler on every platform without
involving the OS. One shutdown path, still; it just gets there by an event.

Deployment is Linux containers and would never have shown this. Development
is not, and neither is the smoke that found it.

The test was worse than useless: it stubbed `process.kill` and asserted it
had been called with SIGTERM, which is precisely the call whose MEANING
differs by platform. It now waits for the SIGTERM EVENT -- what server.js is
actually subscribed to -- so a pass here means the handler would run.

3. `present()` did not publish the running version
--------------------------------------------------
An upgrade writes new files and a new row while the old code stays loaded, so
the row's version is a promise about the next boot rather than a description
of this one. Adds `liveVersion` from the loader beside `liveState`, so the
screen can tell the two apart instead of reporting the new version as running.

723 server tests (+2), manifest and OpenAPI both unchanged.

f7d27f7a06 refactor(client): delete the UO client half (phase 3, slice 3)
35 files and 5,332 lines out — twelve public pages, seven admin views, two
player views, eight components, the two `data/` leaves and the three `lib/`
ones, plus the two tests that came with them. §2.7.1's estimate of 51 files /
~3,700 lines was measured differently and is corrected in the docs PR.

The seams core keeps, each smaller than what it replaced:

Nine rows leave the public header and six leave the admin sidebar, and both
lists are now free of `feature` gates and of `IconShard`. `moduleTitle` already
handled a module page's heading, so the six TITLES entries and the
`/admin/characters` branch of `sectionTitle` simply go.

`/player` had `PlayerCharacters` as its index — a UO page — and rather than name
a replacement or invent a landing screen it now resolves to the first row of the
portal nav this viewer can reach (`firstDestinationFor`, beside
`allowedPathsFor` and reading the BASE nav for the same reason: an override is
presentation and where everybody lands is behaviour). With the module installed
that is still Characters, so a player's first screen after signing in does not
change. Deliberately generic and deliberately not in the portal layout — the
admin index is the same question with a hardcoded answer, and if the two
logged-in areas ever become one this is what serves both.

`game_account_signup` goes with the rest of core's UO prose: the mode list, the
derived public flag, the validation and a Site Settings field whose help text
named Bridge.cfg. The row itself is untouched and module-uo reads it through
ctx.settings — the data stays, the semantics move.

KNOWN BREAK, accepted by the org lead: the shipped Android app reads
`gameAccountSignup` off `/public/settings` (PublicDto.kt:80). The field has a
`= false` default so nothing crashes; the app silently stops offering
game-account creation until it reads the module's `/public/shard/features`
instead. Out of scope here, recorded in the Android plan, and it lands well
before this workstream's cutover reaches `main`.

620 server + 161 client tests. Manifest 158 public + 2 internal, unchanged;
routes.guards unchanged. The OpenAPI spec loses exactly one property, and only
because it was hand-written in swagger.js — regeneration alone would have left
the spec documenting a field core no longer returns.

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.
