feat(auth): one mail, one click — the approval mail carries the confirmation link (E9.5 S6)
The funnel's common ordering made a person open TWO messages: one saying their access was approved, another asking them to confirm their address. The approval mail now branches on what they actually still have to do — carry the confirmation link, point at sign-in, or say a confirmation mail follows once they register — so the usual case is one mail and one click. A mail that guesses wrong is worse than a plain one: telling someone to sign in while their address is unconfirmed contradicts the screen that will refuse them. That embedded link lives 7 days rather than the usual 24 hours. Nobody sits waiting for an approval — it can easily be read on Monday after a weekend, and an expired link spends the one-mail promise and puts them back on two. The risk is small: the token only ever confirms an address; it signs nobody in and sets no password. The most likely root cause of the 2026-09-03 report that a confirmation mail "never arrived" is here too, and it was never a delivery failure: re-registering an address that already had an unconfirmed account returned in SILENCE — same cheerful "check your inbox", no mail sent at all. It now re-sends the link. Nothing new leaks: the response and its timing are unchanged, and the public verify/resend already does exactly this for the same input. Whitelisting stays silent, and that is a decision, not an omission. The operator opens a door as a possibility — usually already agreed with the person — and a row can sit approved for weeks with nobody registering; a mail fired automatically there would be nudging someone who never asked. Telling them is its own act on its own button, `invited_at` records it so a second click is a decision rather than an accident, and the button only appears where nobody is behind the address yet: "the door is open, come in" is meaningless to someone already inside. Two things UAT caught that no test would have. Every fresh registration appeared in BOTH admin lists at once, because the stuck-sign-ups filter keyed on "unconfirmed" — the rule is now "the address may sign in, and this account still can't", which leaves an undecided request with the queue that owns it. And the invitation button was offered on every approved row, half of which are existing users. Also: the confirmation mail finally says what its link's rules are (once, 24 hours) — the reset mail always has, while this one left the reader to discover both by meeting a dead link. The card's "didn't get the email?" moves up under the form, and the three waiting messages name the spam folder, which is where a first message to a fresh recipient sometimes lands. Registration now records the language the sign-up page was in. Nothing reads it yet — the bilingual templates are S7 — but it is the only moment that choice exists anywhere the server can see, and a preference nobody recorded cannot be backfilled later. UAT on localdev: re-registering re-sent the link (one token became two, one account); approval issued a 7-day token and moved the account into the stuck list with only a re-send; whitelisting mailed nobody; the invitation recorded itself and the row then warned that sending again would write twice. Test data removed. |

feat(admin): surface the sign-ups that are stuck outside, and let an admin finish letting them in (E9.5 S5)
Approve an address BEFORE the person registers and their sign-up produces no queue row at all — `_decide` only takes a still-pending invite — so the Access-requests screen sat empty, the tab badge read zero, and the only working move was re-typing the address into the whitelist box. Nobody would guess that, and on 2026-09-03 nobody did. This is roadmap UX-25, where two earlier attempts were reverted after review. Both moved AUTHORITY: auto-activating on registration turns a standing whitelist entry into a bearer grant for whoever registers the address first, and reopening the approved invite to `pending` lets an anonymous sign-up REVOKE a standing approval. What was actually missing was visibility, so this changes nothing about what an unauthenticated caller can cause — the admin could already do exactly this by re-entering the address; they just had no way to know they had to. The section lists every account that cannot sign in yet and says WHICH gate is shut, because the two dead ends look the same from the admin's chair: waiting for activation, or waiting on a confirmation mail. Naming the unconfirmed ones is not decoration — on a no-SMTP instance that is the difference between the owner and whoever registered the address first (SEC-15), and an admin about to let someone in should see it. A person the queue above already covers is deliberately NOT listed here; two buttons for one person is worse than one. Activate is gated on `is_allowed` — the same function the sign-in paths consult, in core, so the button that appears and the badge that counts cannot disagree. Without that gate it would manufacture an inconsistent account: password sign-in only checks `is_active` and would let them in, while their Google sign-in would be turned away and silently reopened as a fresh access request. Letting in someone with no approved invite stays the whitelist box's job, which says so out loud. The badge counts activations SEPARATELY from pending invites rather than widening an existing field's meaning, and only counts what genuinely waits on the admin: an unconfirmed account waits on its owner, so it is listed with a re-send but does not nag. The admin-side resend says plainly what happened, including refusing when the instance has no working SMTP — mail is fail-soft everywhere else, and that silence is exactly what left the 0.78.5 sign-ups with nothing to fall back on. `send_verification_link` is now one function with three callers (registration, the public resend, this one), so the link's shape and TTL cannot drift by who triggered it. UAT on localdev, both languages: the UX-25 shape reproduced end to end (approve the address, then register), the badge counting it, Activate letting them in and dropping the badge, the row losing its Activate but keeping the re-send, a fresh token issued by the re-send, and both actions in the audit log. Test data removed. |
