peter 1f357b0c21 fix(auth): Google adoption revokes the password of a never-activated account
Without SMTP, registration marks the address verified with no proof, and an ADMIN_EMAILS /
ALLOWED_EMAILS address gets no invite row to gate it. So a stranger who registered such an address
(or a sibling spelling) before its owner kept their own password when the owner's first Google
sign-in adopted the row, activated it and made it admin, and could then sign in with it.

The adoption now treats a never-activated row like an unverified one: the password goes,
password_revoked_at is stamped and the session epoch bumped. An account already let in keeps its
password. The helper is renamed to say what it now judges (revoke_untrusted_preset_password).

test_google_callback.py drives the callback's account-matching branches through the real route,
none of which a test ran before: the squat (red on the old rule), adoption by mailbox, the
sub-collision and unverified-address refusals, the refused sign-in recorded in Google's locale, and
the link flow's conflict, mismatch and attach answers.

peter 4aaaaa7860 chore(comments): drop epic, sprint and review-round ids from the code
The code cited its plan instead of saying why: `E28 review J4`, `(R6 S3b)`, `S1 justified…`,
`deep-review round 5`. That plan lives in the private ops repo, so for every reader of this one the
citation was noise, and a sentence whose subject was the plan step ("round 2 showed…") hid its
lesson behind an id. Each one is gone and the "why" kept: a bare citation is deleted, a sentence
carrying a lesson is reworded around it ("a later attempt showed…").

Measured (`scripts/audit_metrics.py`, product code): 652 lines in 270 files carried an epic code by
the definition the next commit holds (507 / 241 by the old, two-digit-only one) -> 0. Across all
code, tests, scripts and configs: ~1100 epic-code lines plus ~320 sprint/round ids.

Behaviour unchanged, checked mechanically: every changed .py file has the same AST once docstrings
are blanked; css/sh/toml/yml/json files are identical once comments are stripped; the only
non-comment changes in TS/JS are test titles, one description string in a contract table, and five
ESLint messages, whose text is all the gates snapshot diff holds. Not touched: Markdown (docs and
the changelog keep their history), Alembic migrations, TV episode notation (`S2 · E5`), DESIGN.md
ids (`C1`, `B4`, `S3h`), tracker ids (`SEC-16`, `DX-17`).

One stale claim fixed on the way: test_hls_reaper's docstring said the player checkpoints "every
10 s whether or not it is playing", which plex/stream.py calls wrong; it now says what the code does.

peter 99df44d7fb fix(api): mutations answer ok; route helpers flush and leave the commit to the handler
Two rows of the canonical-patterns table had drifted, found while closing the roadmap audit:

- 63 mutation responses carried no `ok` — `{"unsubscribed": true}`, `{"status": "ok"}`,
  `{"added": 3, …}` and so on. Each now leads with `"ok": true` (additive: every field a client
  reads is still there).
- Twelve route helpers committed on their own. Six were just the end of their handler's work and now
  flush: the playlist item add/remove and Watch later get-or-create, the Plex series/season bulk
  mark, and the invite decision + account activation — which an approval used to land in separate
  transactions. The other six commit on purpose (a token durable before its link is mailed, a
  single-use token burned as its own unit, the Google callback's tail, a background registration
  with its own session, the staged search ingest around YouTube calls), each listed with its reason.

`tests/test_route_conventions.py` holds both rules in code; CLAUDE.md's two rows point at it.

peter 47d968eeea fix: review round 4 — an account switch unloads as the old account, a share link's lockout costs five networks
Deep-review round 4, targeted at round 3's changes (f569b19c..e7f38396).

Accounts
- Switching, adding or signing out an account moved the tab's pin before
  the page unloaded, so the players' resume beacons fired on the way out
  under the NEW account: one account's playback position saved into the
  other. The pin is now handed to the next page (pinOnNextPage) and taken
  over at import; clearActiveAccount is gone.
- Switching to a suspended account was refused but left it in the
  switcher, refused on every click; a deactivated one was not refused at
  all, and made the default it signed every account in the browser out on
  the next request. Every account _session_user would refuse — gone,
  deactivated, suspended, revoked — is refused and dropped from the list.

Share page (/watch)
- An IPv6 client is limited by its /64 (client_ip becomes client_key, for
  every limiter): keyed on the full address, one subscriber could rotate
  through endless identities. The comments now state what the per-link
  ceiling costs: guessing from five networks can keep a link shut for its
  window, and guesses already running when it fills are still checked.
- The link is looked up before the limiter records the attempt, so made-up
  tokens no longer grow it by an entry each.

Forms
- Failing the same way twice is announced again: the sign-in, passphrase
  and setup errors are keyed on the attempt (a clear and a set in one
  handler left the alert node untouched).
- The install wizard's own validation showed the generic error — it threw
  plain objects its catch did not read. It sets the step's message.

Tests: a re-pin leaving the previous account's notices behind; the pin
hand-over; switching to an ended account; the /64 viewer; made-up tokens;
the repeated alerts. Each mutation-checked RED for its own reason.

peter e7f38396a2 fix: review round 3 — a new tab keeps its account's notices, a revoked tab account lands on the default
Deep-review round 3 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.

Account boot
- The notification history and settings, and the hints toggle, are read
  when their modules load, which in a new tab (bookmark, typed URL) is
  before BootGate pins the account: they read as nobody's, and the tab's
  first notice replaced the account's stored history (up to 100 entries)
  with a one-item list. They now read again when the tab is pinned
  (onAccountPinned, run by setActiveAccount); a notice raised before the
  pin stays, after the history.
- A tab pinned to an account still in this browser's wallet but whose
  session ended (suspended, deleted, or revoked by "log out everywhere")
  got "signed out" from /api/me while the default account was still
  signed in, and signing in again as anyone else left it there. A refused
  per-tab account now leaves the wallet, and the probe answers as the
  default, so the tab reloads onto it.

Share page (/watch)
- The password unlock is limited per viewer (link + client IP), under a
  per-link ceiling that counts only wrong passwords. Keyed on the link
  alone, ten wrong guesses every five minutes locked out every viewer,
  the ones with the password included. client_ip moves to app.ratelimit
  so the public routes can key on it.
- Its failure messages and the load-failure screen are announced
  (role=alert, the password input described by its error). The sign-in,
  passphrase, password-change and setup form errors get role=alert too.

Comments that still described removed machinery are corrected: App's
collapse flags, SettingsPanel's Save bar, ConfigPanel, authed_format_sig.

Tests: the account's history and hints across the pin; a revoked and a
suspended pinned account; the per-viewer limit and the ceiling; the
limiter's exhausted(); the share page's announced failures; a share
link's feed filters persisted. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.

peter f569b19c49 fix: review round 2 — a signed-out tab acts as nobody, honest share-page failures
Deep-review round 2 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.

Account resolution (server)
- A request naming an account that is no longer signed in to this browser
  (X-Siftlode-Account or ?account=) now acts as nobody instead of the
  session's default account. A tab still pinned to an account signed out in
  another tab went on acting as the default: its player checkpoints and
  preference saves landed in that account, the messages socket and Plex
  playback ran as it, and its Sign out signed THAT account out. A hidden tab
  never polls /api/me, so a tab playing in the background kept doing it.
  The /api/me bootstrap probe alone keeps the fallback, which is how such a
  tab learns who it now is: the app's 401 handler reloads, and BootGate
  re-pins the tab.

BootGate
- On an identity change the tab reloads without moving its pin first. The
  tree being torn down still runs its unmount saves before the page goes,
  and with the pin already moved they wrote into the new account's local
  keys (a player volume still pending). The reloaded page corrects the pin.

Share page (/watch)
- Only a 404 says the link is gone. A 5xx, a dropped connection, and the
  unlock's own rate limit all rendered "no longer available ... expired or
  revoked" to a viewer with a valid link, with no way to try again. A load
  failure now offers Retry; too many password tries says so and keeps the
  form; an unlock that gets no answer says so instead of doing nothing.
  Strings in en/hu/de.

Downloads
- A cookie-authed asset is recognised under the current signature version
  and the one before it, so a job queued before a deploy that bumps the
  version still downloads with its cookie instead of failing on the login
  wall with an error that says no cookie was used.

The app chunk is preloaded through lazyWithPreload, so a failed fetch no
longer leaves an unhandled rejection beside the ErrorBoundary. The panel
layout seed is one helper (seedLayout).

Tests: the stale-tab refusal, its harmless Sign out and the probe fallback;
the pre-bump authed asset; BootGate keeping the pin on reload and staying
mounted through a same-account change; the reveal clock's later-commit
hand-off; the prefs, panel layout and demo-scope seeds from the me cache;
the share page's failure states. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.

peter 3dc14402b0 test(auth): pin what rounds 1 and 2 left unpinned (E9.5 review round 3)
Three low findings, all in what the review rounds themselves wrote.

The comment on `test_approving_an_unverified_account_keeps_its_password` still asserted the argument
rounds 1 and 2 refuted — that dropping the approval-time revoke was safe because `password_login`
reads `email_verified` first — while the docstrings on the two functions it describes now say the
opposite. Two contradictory "why" records for one rule is how the round-1 takeover primitive got
reasoned into existence in the first place, so the test comment now carries the corrected account
and names SEC-16.

`test_a_later_registration_leaves_a_link_already_in_flight_alive` asserted a subset relation that is
vacuously true on an empty set, and the guard that made it non-empty had gone out with the revert.
It now pins both halves: the old link survives, and exactly one new one appears.

Round 2's own fix — activation moved to after a successful send — was unpinned; putting it back
above the send left the suite green. The failed-invitation test now also asserts the account was not
activated by a request the UI reported as a failure.

peter 563fa0513d fix(auth): close what the epic's own review found (E9.5 review round 1)
Eleven findings survived adversarial verification; these are the fixes.

**Address pre-emption.** S1 dropped the approval-time password revoke, arguing `password_login`
refuses an unverified account before it reads `is_active`. Two verifiers showed that holds only
while the address stays unverified — and S6's approval mail exists to get the real owner to end that
state, at which point the squatter's password works. While an address is unverified the NEWEST
registration now owns it: the password is replaced and every outstanding verify token deleted, so
the owner takes the row back simply by registering, and a link already in flight cannot confirm it
for anyone else. The residual (an owner who confirms and neither registers nor resets) is logged as
SEC-16 beside SEC-15, where the re-attestation path it needs already lives. The comments that
asserted the old, false invariant now say what actually guards this.

**The entry URL.** S2 moved `clearEntryUrl()` out of the signed-out auth card into a hook App mounts
unconditionally, and it blanket-stripped the whole query string, the fragment and `history.state` on
the FIRST commit. That broke first-run setup outright — the wizard mounts only after its query
resolves and then finds no `?token=` — and silently ate `?link=`/`?oauth=` (no toast, no refetch
after connecting Google), `?v=`/`?chan=` deep links, and scroll restoration. It now clears only the
fragment and the two one-time flags it owns, and preserves `history.state`.

**The env allow-list.** S3 canonicalised the Invite branch of `is_allowed` and left the
ALLOWED_EMAILS/ADMIN_EMAILS fallback matching literally — the 2026-09-03 lockout with a different
source of truth, plus a shadowing trick where an unauthenticated request under a sibling spelling
permanently masked an env grant. Canonical on both sides now, and the same for the delete dialog's
warning and the ADMIN_EMAILS role bootstrap.

**Honest states.** `send_invitation` stamped "I already wrote to them" before a fail-soft background
send; it sends inline and records only what left. The admin-side resend answered `{ok: true}` for a
dropped mail; it now says so. Both also activate/serialize consistently with the other decide paths.

**Correctness sweep.** The 7-day approval link said "expires in 168 hours" — durations render in
days once there is more than one. `_register_account`, `upsert_pending_invite` and `add_invite`
picked among canonical siblings with no ORDER BY and no exact-spelling tie-break, so which account
got the re-send, and whether a denied row was reopened over a pending one, was up to Postgres.
`purge_user` deleted every canonically-equal invite, revoking a surviving sibling account's access.
`ConfirmProvider` wrapped its ReactNode message in a `<p>`. Approving no longer leaves the
stuck-sign-ups list stale. The refusal panels announce and take focus.

**Tests.** Three mailers rewritten this epic never rendered in any test; every `send_*` now renders
in both languages. The orphan-key guard could not fail (it scanned the catalog that defines the
keys) and had no reverse direction. Newly pinned: canonical activation, the surviving sibling's
grant, a failed invitation and resend, an expired reset link, a throttled login's silence, the
per-language admin fan-out, and that the entry URL keeps what it does not own.

peter 10c0ca4cf7 feat(email): write to people in their own language (E9.5 S7)
Twelve mails carried hardcoded English while the app itself has enforced HU/EN parity since E5.
A mail is the one user-facing surface nobody can re-render by switching the UI language: it arrives
once, in whatever language we picked, and stays that way. That made the epic's own headline mail —
"one mail, one click" — English for a Hungarian reader.

The text moved to a catalog (`mailtext.py`) with a `text(key, lang, **vars)` renderer, and the parity
rule is now a test rather than a habit: every key must carry both languages AND the same
`{placeholders}`. A translation that drops `{link}` sends a mail with no link in it; one that invents
a placeholder raises inside a background task nobody is watching. Both are silent in production.

Every `send_*` takes the language as its second argument, resolved by the REQUEST handler and never
inside the mail — these all run as background tasks, after the request's session is gone, which is
the same reason the approval mail computes its link in the handler.

Where the language comes from, in order: the account's own preference; failing that, the language the
person asked us in; failing that, English. The middle one is new — `invites.lang`, migration `0082` —
because the mails an access request produces go to an address that usually has no account yet, and
the signal does exist: the page their form was submitted from, or the locale Google reported for a
sign-in we refused. Captured rather than derived, for the third time in this epic (`google_email` in
S3, `preferences.language` in S6 taught the same lesson): a signal that exists only in one moment
cannot be backfilled later. So the admin is asked in exactly one place — the invitation to an address
they typed in themselves, where nobody has ever told us anything.

That send is now a dialog rather than a bare click, which is also where the "you already wrote to
them" warning belongs — it used to live only in a tooltip the admin may never hover, guarding the one
action whose failure mode is mailing a real person twice.

S6's registration `lang` field turned out to be dead on arrival: the backend accepted it, the
frontend never sent it, so every account has been storing nothing. The request builders now stamp the
UI language themselves — a signal that has to be passed in by every caller is one every caller can
forget, which is exactly how it shipped unset.

Admins are notified one mail per language group instead of one blast to everyone. They are people
with their own UI language; a single message would have to pick one of them and be wrong for the rest.

Also removes a duplicated `invited_at` column declaration on `Invite` (two identical definitions
landed in S6).

peter a76bab9b34 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.

peter ed91c83dd7 fix(auth): name the state and the address behind a refused sign-in (E9.5 S4)
"Your account is awaiting admin approval." was true and useless. It never said WHICH mailbox the
account was on, and on 2026-09-03 that silence hid a Gmail alias mismatch for a day: a registration
as np.temu@gmail.com met a Google claim of nptemu@gmail.com, and every screen in the funnel agreed
to say nothing about it.

Every refusal password-login can answer with now uses the codebase's structured {code, reason}
detail, built in one helper. The three that arrive AFTER the password is proven carry the address on
the account plus both gate flags; the two that answer before it (invalid, rate_limited) carry
nothing, so a wrong password and an unknown account stay byte-identical. The frontend renders the
first three as a named screen in place of the form — there is nothing to retype once the password is
correct — with an icon, the two-gate checklist, the address in monospace, and a resend CTA where one
helps. Reporting each gate from its own flag is the payoff of S1: approved-but-unverified is a real
state now, and a screen that assumed a sequence would send that user off to wait for an admin who
has already decided.

The Google access-request notice names the address too, and says so when the request was already on
file under ANOTHER spelling of the same mailbox — the honest version of "we didn't open a second
one", stated only when it applies. It moved from the query string to the fragment: the notice now
carries an address, and a query string lands in every reverse-proxy access log. Same reasoning that
put the verify/reset tokens there, and the same owner already clears it. urlencode, not an f-string,
because URLSearchParams reads a bare + in a fragment as a space and would mangle exactly the
+tag addresses this epic exists to protect.

upsert_pending_invite returns the row it settled on beside the is-new flag, since the row's stored
address is what the notice has to name and what mail will go to.

Deviation from the PendingScreen mockup, deliberately: no "Sign out" button and no separate "Not
your address?" link. The mockup drew the panel in the app shell; the accepted decision (a) keeps the
pending user session-less, so there is no session to end, and the address is named directly above a
"Back to sign in" that answers the same question.

UAT on localdev, both languages: all three refusals with the typed spelling deliberately differing
from the stored one (the panel named the stored one), the resend CTA carrying the typed address into
the resend form, and both access-request banners with a +tag address surviving the fragment round
trip. Throwaway accounts and the language switch reverted.
2026-09-04 01:56:55 +02:00
peter c134b514c1 fix(auth): confirm an emailed verification link wherever it is opened (E9.5 S2)
The token was only ever consumed inside Welcome.tsx, which App renders ONLY when
there is no session. Opening the emailed link in a browser that already held a
Siftlode session posted nothing, the fragment was then stripped, and the user got
no signal at all -- the link simply did nothing. Incognito worked, which is why it
survived. Confirmation now happens in App, above that branch: signed out the outcome
still drives the auth card's banners, signed in it drives a top-of-app bar.

The entry URL is snapshotted once at import time (lib/entryUrl) instead of per
component, so no future URL writer can strip a token before whoever needs it has
read it -- that ordering race is what broke this in the first place. POST /auth/verify
now names the address it confirmed, which matters when the browser holds a session
for a different account; the same reasoning as password_reset_required already
covers the disclosure.

Also here, from the 2026-09-02 review tail: the dead GET /auth/verify goes (both
senders emit the fragment form, and the last query-token link expired 24h after the
0.78.7 deploy), a spent #verify=/#reset= fragment is cleared while signed in, and
the auth-card banners get role=status. The verifyOkReset copy no longer blames
admin approval, which E9.5 S1 made false.
2026-09-03 23:45:31 +02:00
peter 243869401a fix(auth): stop discarding a legitimate password on admin approval (E9.5 S1)
SEC-10 revoked any password set while an account's email was unverified, on both
the Google-adoption and the admin-approval path. On the approval path that was
redundant: password_login refuses an unverified account before it ever reads
is_active, so approval hands a pre-emptor's password nothing it could use. All the
revoke achieved there was destroying the password a legitimate registrant had just
chosen -- and since the admin normally decides before the user reads their mail,
'your password was cleared for security' was the DEFAULT experience, not an edge
case. The guard stays on the Google-adoption path, where the real owner does attest
ownership.

password_reset_required and the ok_reset banner stay: accounts stripped on prod
before this change have no other way back in.

Two existing tests pinned the old rule, so they are rewritten rather than deleted,
and the SEC-10 recovery pack now builds the revoked state through the surviving
producer.
2026-09-03 23:32:34 +02:00
peter 3ac3d382e7 fix(auth): stop the address-bar mirror eating emailed auth tokens, and unlock revoked accounts
Two independent bugs made an email+password registration unrecoverable in prod.

The verification link did nothing. urlWithParams/clearParams rebuilt the URL as
pathname+query and dropped the fragment — but the one-time auth tokens ride the
fragment (#verify=/#reset=, SB3), and the providers that mirror nav params
(useUrlMirror in FeedFilters/Playlists/Plex/Channels) sit ABOVE the lazily-loaded
<App> in main.tsx. Their mount effect replaceState'd the token away before the auth
card's chunk had loaded, so the card read an empty hash: the link opened a bare
sign-in page, no request, no banner. Both helpers now carry the fragment over.

The account was then locked out for good. SEC-10 nulls password_hash when an
unverified account is attested (here: admin approval landing before the user could
verify — which the bug above made impossible). That is indistinguishable from a
Google-only account, and reset eligibility keyed off password_hash alone, so no
reset link was ever issued: no password to sign in with, and no way to get one.
users.password_revoked_at records the revocation, reset eligibility honours it, and
setting a password again (reset-confirm or set-password) clears it. An account that
never had a password stays ineligible on purpose — its owner adds one from Settings.

/auth/verify now also answers password_reset_required so the card can say why the
registered password stopped working, instead of leaving the user at the uniform
"Invalid email or password". Telling the holder of a valid verify token leaks
nothing: they have already proved they own the mailbox.

The 0078 migration backfills the stamp for rows carrying the exact lockout signature
(local, non-demo, no password, unverified), so existing victims recover unaided.

peter 24c93cbb83 docs: name the Configuration tab as it is rendered, drop an unused fixture
Round 6's two remaining nits. The operator note said "Configuration → Email"
but the group renders as "Email / SMTP" in both locales, and
test_an_admin_can_activate_a_pre_approved_registrant requested make_user without
using it — a leftover from the reverted rounds that made the test look like it
seeded an admin when it did not.

peter cb1f4f00b0 docs(auth): correct the last round of over-claiming comments and notes
Round 5's correctness/security pass came back clean; what was left was text that
said more than the code does.

- The register-path notify comment (and its test) claimed the admin "is still
  told". The call fires, but on a no-SMTP instance _send drops it — which is the
  open half of the problem, not something this branch fixed. Both now say so.
- The release notes tell admins what to actually do: an account whose address was
  whitelisted in advance has no pending request to approve, so the whitelist box
  is what activates it. That instruction only existed in the roadmap and in
  chores, which the dialog does not render.
- "That one line is the whole production change" now accounts for the test-only
  RateLimiter.reset() that also ships.
- The rate-limiter test claimed to pin that blocked attempts are not counted, on
  an assertion that held either way. Replaced with one that drives the clock
  across the window boundary and fails if hammering extends it.
2026-09-01 22:02:43 +02:00
peter f6e1d1e69f fix(auth): keep the admin notice unconditional on the register path
Round 4 showed the `inv is not None` gate added in b5a1002 removed a signal that
matters: for an address the admin had already approved, that email is their only
notice that someone has now created an account on it — the invite is not pending
so nothing lands in the Access-requests queue either. Suppressing it left the
registrant at "awaiting admin approval" with the admin unaware they existed. The
duplicate it avoided (Request access, then sign up) is mild noise by comparison.

The production change is now one db.commit(), which is all the reported bug ever
needed. Release notes corrected again: a previously-denied address was also
unaffected, the pending-request case never lost its queue entry (only the
account behind it), and the test inventory was missing a guard.

peter b64c3f514d fix(auth): drop the invite reopen — keep the fix to the lost account alone
Round 3 of the review killed the reopen from b5a1002: flipping an approved
invite back to pending let an unauthenticated POST /auth/register REVOKE a
standing approval for any whitelisted-but-unclaimed address, which then fails
is_allowed() and locks the real owner out of Google sign-in — the primary way
people get in here. It also re-armed the pre-emption window it was meant to
close, because with no SMTP email_verified is set True and the SEC-10 guard the
design leaned on never fires.

Two attempts at fixing the stranded-account UX in the same change both came back
worse than the wart. What remains is the narrow, real bug: the account was
silently rolled back and is now committed. An admin still binds the approval to
the account, exactly as before this branch. UX-25 in the roadmap records the
follow-up and both dead ends so they are not retried.

Also from round 3: the upsert docstring no longer claims the admin UI cannot
reach these accounts (re-entering the address in the same panel's whitelist box
does, and a test now pins it), the release notes are scoped to what the diff
actually changes with the operator note moved where the dialog renders it, and
RateLimiter has unit tests so reset() is not production code only a fixture
calls.

peter b5a1002412 fix(auth): reopen a pre-dated approval instead of auto-granting it
Replaces the activation added in ea931dc, which round 2 of the review showed was
a real weakening: on a no-SMTP instance it made a standing whitelist entry a
bearer grant — the first anonymous party to register an approved-but-unclaimed
address got an immediately usable account under that identity, with no
attestation, no admin action and no signal anywhere. The verify-time activation
had the same shape one step removed, and neither site ran the SEC-10 preset-
password guard or left an audit trail.

Keep a human in the loop instead. An approval granted before any account existed
was a decision about the ADDRESS, so registration reopens the invite
(upsert_pending_invite gains revive_approved, used only by the register worker).
The request lands in the Access-requests queue, approving it runs
_activate_user_by_email — and with it revoke_preset_password_if_unverified — and
the account activates. One mechanism, already audited, no new grant path, and
the "awaiting admin approval" copy is honest again.

The explicit commit from the previous commit still matters: with an invite
already pending, upsert returns without committing and _issue_token is gated on
SMTP, so a no-SMTP registration was still being rolled back.

Also from round 2: gate the admin notice on a fresh decision (matching the two
other upsert callers) so a retry no longer re-pings every admin, and reset the
module-level rate limiters between tests — the suite pooled every login into one
300s window and was two logins short of failing an unrelated test with a 429.

peter ea931dca30 fix(auth): honour an approval granted before sign-up instead of parking the account
Follow-up to the commit fix, from the deep-review. Persisting the account was
only half the story: when the admin had approved the address BEFORE the person
registered, the account landed is_active=False against an invite that is no
longer pending — absent from the Access-requests queue, and approve_invite 409s
on an already-decided invite. The sign-up worked and still could not sign in.

Derive activation from is_allowed() at the moment ownership is attested:
- verify_email_confirm activates a pre-approved account when the emailed link is
  confirmed (only the mailbox owner can follow it), so SEC-10 stays intact;
- _register_account activates only when there is no SMTP to verify with, where
  the admin whitelist is by design the sole gate — the same one add_invite
  already activates on.

Tests: the pre-approved no-SMTP case and the verify-activates case are real
regression tests (both fail without this change); guards cover the unknown-email
and denied->pending branches, verification of an unapproved account, and the
first end-to-end coverage of the /auth/register route and its
allow_registration gate. Release notes rewritten — the previous entry miscounted
its regression tests and advertised an email fix this release has no code for.

peter d954e71a77 fix(auth): commit the account on registration so a pre-approved sign-up isn't lost
_register_account() flushed the new User but relied on someone else to commit:
upsert_pending_invite() commits only when it actually writes an invite row, and
_issue_token() runs only when SMTP is enabled. For an email an admin had ALREADY
approved, on an instance where email is unavailable, neither fired — the session
closed and the account was rolled back. The would-be user got the uniform "ok"
and no account, could not sign in, and re-registering was a silent no-op.

Commit explicitly after the invite upsert (a no-op when upsert already committed
the same transaction). Three DB-lane regression tests cover the pre-approved
no-SMTP path (fails without the fix), the unknown-email path that always worked,
and the pre-approved path with SMTP on.

Mechanical, whole-tree `ruff format` pass — no behaviour change. Recorded in

peter 18edbecb1e fix(auth): close the account pre-emption + wrong-account link holes (E1 S5, SEC-10/11)
SEC-10 (account pre-emption / "pre-hijack"): a password set on an account whose
email was never verified is untrusted — whoever registered the address (to
pre-empt the real owner) could have chosen it. Both the Google-adoption callback
and admin activation (_activate_user_by_email) now drop that pre-set password and
bump the session epoch when the account isn't email_verified, so a later Google
login / admin approval can't hand the pre-set password a working login. No-op for
a verified account (the legit no-SMTP flow). +2 tests.

SEC-11 (link/upgrade bound to the session default): the OAuth link/upgrade GETs
resolved to the session DEFAULT account, so a tab acting as a secondary account
would link Google / the YouTube grant to the wrong account. The frontend now
threads the active account through the navigation URL (withActiveAccount ->
?account=<active>), and _complete_link accepts any wallet account, not only the
default, so the identity lands on the account that started the flow.

peter e764ca4568 test(fixtures): make the TestClient fixtures isolated and composable (S2 review)
Address the /code-review findings on the S2 test-net:
- as_user no longer sets a global `lambda: user` override that two users in one
  test would collide on; the shared current_user override now resolves the caller
  from an x-test-user header, and each returned client tags its own requests, so
  as_user(a)/as_user(b) are independent (#1).
- override_dep records the prior value per dependency key and restores it on
  teardown instead of a blanket dependency_overrides.clear(), so fixtures compose
  without clobbering each other (#5).
- a _configured fixture bakes the post-setup state into client/as_user, and the
  per-test inline monkeypatch / autouse duplicates are removed (#4).
- the feed keyset walk asserts all seeded rows surfaced before comparing, so a
  seeding regression can't make the sorts pass vacuously (#3).

peter 296af2a498 test(auth): session/epoch/wallet/token security core (E1 S2, TEST-1)
The auth security mag had zero tests. Add a DB-lane suite over the real
auth/session stack (TestClient carries the signed cookie): password login ->
/api/me authenticated; a wrong password and an unknown email return a
byte-identical 401 (no enumeration oracle); an X-Siftlode-Account header naming
a non-wallet account falls back to the default (impersonation gate); logout-others
bumps the epoch so a second session is rejected (401 on a protected endpoint)
while the caller stays in; and password-reset/confirm is single-use (replay ->
400) and bumps the epoch so pre-reset sessions die.
