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.

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.

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.
