jaap-janandClaude Opus 5 a43286ece8 Let a team change hands, and be joined by somebody with no account yet
M3 built teams and stopped short of the two operations that decide who
controls one. Both were written down as refusals rather than omissions:
ADR 0009 listed ownership transfer under "deliberately not built", and
design-import-gaps said an invitation needed "a token with a lifetime and an
outbound mail path". One of those reasons had expired and the other never
applied — an invitation does not need a token if it is not a thing anybody
presents.

Handing a team over is one write. The member you name becomes owner and you
become an admin, in a single transaction, because ownership is sole: promoting
first leaves the team owned twice, demoting first leaves it owned by nobody,
and there is nobody left with the authority to finish a transfer that stopped
in the middle. That is also why it is not two calls to the role endpoint, which
refuses Owner outright. The outgoing owner is demoted rather than removed —
removing them would revoke their vault key grants and flag every team vault for
rekey, which is a far larger act than the one asked for, and somebody handing
over a team is usually staying in it. It unblocks the thing that was impossible
before: an owner can now leave, by handing the team on first.

An invitation is a standing instruction rather than a message. This server has
no outbound mail path, so nothing is sent and there is nothing for the invitee
to present. The row says the next account signing in with that address joins
this team at this role, and telling them to sign in is the caller's job over a
channel this server does not carry. A link nobody can deliver would be worse
than none. It lives in its own table rather than becoming a membership with
MembershipStatus.Invited, and that member stays unwritten for the reason it
always was: team_membership.user_id is not nullable and carries a foreign key,
so somebody who has never signed in has nothing for that row to point at.
Widening it would make the unique index on (team, user) meaningless, because
PostgreSQL counts every NULL as distinct.

Verification is the security boundary, and nothing in this server read it
before. A claim requires the access token to assert email_verified. An
invitation decides what the server will serve, so one claimable by anybody able
to obtain a token carrying somebody else's address is a way into a team — which
is precisely the attack OidcOptions.AllowEmailLinking exists to refuse, and it
would have been reintroduced by the back door. There is deliberately no setting
that relaxes it: a flag that exists is one somebody turns on for the afternoon
their provider is misconfigured. Absence is refused rather than trusted, and
logged, because a provider that never sends the claim otherwise leaves every
invitation pending with nothing anywhere saying why.

Claiming happens at just-in-time provisioning and again on an hourly sweep. The
sweep is what makes it recoverable rather than one-shot — an invitation issued
between an account being created and that person next signing in would
otherwise be stranded for ever — and it shares its rate with the last-seen
write because both are housekeeping nobody is waiting on.

Archiving is refused while a team owns a vault, and that refusal is the end of
the road rather than a step on it. A team vault is readable because of
membership, so archiving one that still owned vaults would take them away from
everybody holding a key, including the caller, quietly and all at once. Nothing
in this product deletes a vault, so no order of operations gets past it today —
which is stated with a count of what is in the way, for the reason the SFTP
layer refuses a recursive delete: a refusal is visible and a quiet removal is
not. It is owner-only, as handing over is; renaming is not, because a rename is
visible to everybody and reversible by anybody who can do it. The slug is not
renameable at all: it is unique only among live teams, so a rename could take
one an archived team is still holding, and that team could then never be
restored.

LAST ACTIVE is real and coarse on purpose. UserAccount.LastSeenAtUtc is
refreshed on ordinary authenticated requests, at most once per account per
hour, through ExecuteUpdateAsync — user_account carries the xmin concurrency
token, so a read-then-write on the hot path would start losing races between
one user's own overlapping requests. An hour is the granularity the question is
actually asked at, and the interface draws it to the day rather than the minute
so it does not read as a precision that is not there. The remarks in Contracts
and in the view model that argued at length for the column's absence are
rewritten rather than extended; both had become false.

Two endpoints already existed and nothing called them. ChangeTeamMemberRole and
ListVaultGrants have been reachable since M3. The role picker refuses Owner
itself rather than letting the server do it, since the interface already knew
the rule; the key-holder list sits under the vault rather than beside the
member, because a grant is per vault and a count on a member row would imply
per-item sharing, which is M5. It lists withdrawn and stale grants and says
which they are — a list that dropped them would show a departed colleague as
merely absent rather than as somebody whose key was taken away — and staleness
is decided by comparing generations, since a grant can be Active and still open
nothing.

ADD MEMBER stopped being a dead end. An address the directory did not know used
to end at a sentence telling the user their colleague had to sign in first. It
invites them instead, from the same button, because which of the two applies is
a fact about the server's account table rather than about what the user is
doing; which one happened is reported afterwards, because that decides what
they do next. An address that merely has an account is invited rather than
refused: refusing would have made the endpoint an oracle for which addresses
have accounts here, answerable by anybody willing to create a team first.

The phone has a TEAMS screen, behind MORE, and it is the reverse of every other
row in design-import-gaps: a shipped screen the design had no slot for. It is
there because an invitation is claimed by signing in, so somebody told they are
now in a team is at least as likely to be holding a phone — and a membership
visible only on a head they never installed is one they cannot see. It draws
SHARE KEY and nothing that takes something away: wrapping a key is the one act
on that screen a server cannot perform at all, and the desktop guards its
revocations with a tooltip, which is a control a touch screen cannot show.

Two defects were found by an adversarial pass and both were green against the
whole suite at the time. The owner-only check on archiving and handing over had
been weakened to the admin check while their messages and comments still said
owner — and since nothing behind the archive endpoint re-checks it, an admin
the owner had promoted could have archived the team out from under them. And
the rename endpoint built its response with a hardcoded Owner role, so an admin
who renamed a team was handed a summary claiming they owned it, and a client
trusting that instead of re-listing would have offered them the two owner-only
buttons the server then refuses.

The new table gets its constraints tested rather than merely migrated: live
uniqueness per (team, address), the citext proof that an address typed by a
person matches one cased by a provider, and reissue after both revocation and
acceptance. The teams screen gets its first entries in the layout suite, at the
minimum window with every list populated and with each of the two states that
cover half of it — it had none, and it just grew four sections and a second
line in the member row.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5 093f3904c1 Apply pending migrations at startup instead of asking for a second command
ci / build and test (push) Failing after 1m48s
ci / api image (push) Skipped
ci / android head (push) Failing after 5s
The API deliberately never migrated: it failed readiness while a migration was pending and
named it, and a separate step applied them. That is the right split for a deployment with a
release pipeline and the wrong one for a self-hosted server, where it means an image that
boots, refuses traffic, and waits for somebody to know that dotnet ef exists. The schema and
the code that expects it ship in the same image, so the image is where the two are
reconciled now.

Before RunAsync rather than in the background. A migration racing the first requests would
let them through against a half-applied schema, and the first authenticated request is the
one that provisions accounts. Failing to migrate therefore fails to start, which is the
loudest signal available and the one an orchestrator already acts on.

Concurrent starts take a Postgres advisory lock first. Without it two replicas rolled out
together read the same empty history table, both apply the same migration, and the second
dies on an object that already exists — a crash loop on the day of a schema change, which
is the worst day to have one. The lock is held on a connection of its own because EF opens
and closes one per command, and a session lock belongs to the connection that took it.

The exception is a database that does not exist yet: there is nothing to hold a lock in, so
that path migrates without one and says so. Two instances creating it at once still
converges — one wins, the other restarts into the ordinary locked path — and refusing to
start would leave a fresh deployment stuck on the step this removes.

Database:AutoMigrate turns it off for the deployments that own their schema: a migrator job,
a rollout where new code must run against the old schema first, or a database user denied
DDL. With it off the behaviour is exactly what it was, and the health check now explains
which of the two situations a pending migration means.

Verified against a throwaway PostgreSQL container: an empty database gets all seven
migrations applied before the port opens, the tables land in the dodo schema, and a second
start logs the schema up to date and serves. The API suite passes, which exercises the
startup path once per assembly.

jaap-jan 1d262b7ccc Run M1's end-to-end slice, and fix the two bugs it found
The whole vertical slice now runs against a real Keycloak, a real API, a
real PostgreSQL and a real sshd: sign in through the browser flow, enroll
with the identity-provider key binding, unlock, create a host, sync it,
read it back on a second machine, unlock again with no network, accept an
unseen host key, and open an interactive shell. Opt-in, because it needs
the development stack; skipped with a message naming the commands.

It found two bugs on its first run, and both are the same class: two
sides of a stub agreeing with each other about something the
specification never said.

**The API never applied DodoSshJsonContext to its HTTP JSON options.**
Minimal APIs therefore used the framework's web defaults, which write an
enum as a number. Every request DTO carrying one failed to bind against a
client writing the specified string form — which is the entire sync
surface, unreachable from the real client, with a 400 naming only the
parameter. The documented guarantee that request bodies reject unmapped
members was likewise not in effect anywhere.

Nothing caught it because the API tests posted with PostAsJsonAsync's
defaults, so they and the server had independently settled on integers.
Those tests now serialise through the contract, which is the deeper fix:
removing the new configuration fails 13 of them. Copying settings into
options a host owns is itself the hazard the context warns about, so
ApplyTo lives beside the settings it mirrors and ApplyToTests pins the
transformation, including that inserting the resolver leaves the caller's
own in place.

**The realm registered a loopback redirect URI Keycloak rejects.**
`http://127.0.0.1:*/callback` looks more explicit than the RFC 8252 form
and is broken: Keycloak's wildcards are trailing-only, so the `*` parses
as a literal port and every authorization request came back "Invalid
parameter: redirect_uri". Providers ignore the port for loopback hosts,
which is the whole mechanism, so the correct registration is
`http://127.0.0.1/callback` — path pinned, port free. The value the
server advertises through the discovery document said the same wrong
thing and now says the right one.

Two smaller things, both documented in docs/platform-flags.md:

- --import-realm skips a realm that already exists, so editing the realm
  file and restarting Keycloak changes nothing and serves stale
  configuration. The container has to be recreated. The compose comment
  claimed the opposite.
- Keycloak marks its session cookies Secure even over plain HTTP, because
  SameSite=None requires it. A spec-conformant client drops them and the
  login POST answers 400 with no message; browsers complete the flow only
  because they exempt loopback. Harmless for the product, fatal for
  automation, so ScriptedBrowser carries the cookies by hand and says why.

Also: the server enforces a 64 MiB floor on the passphrase KDF, so this
suite cannot use the 8 MiB profile the other client suites take for
speed. Those only get away with it because their in-memory servers have
no policy — worth knowing rather than rediscovering.

638 tests. The solution-wide run stays green with the stack down: exit
code 8 means "no tests ran", which the platform reports as failure, so
the opt-in project ignores exactly that code.

jaap-jan d3b14e6bc0 Add configuration, OIDC auth wiring and discovery endpoints (M1)
Options, JWT bearer validation, the /meta and .well-known endpoints, and a dev compose
stack with Keycloak. Verified end to end: compose up, migrate, run, both discovery
endpoints return correct payloads, and readiness reports the schema current.

Configuration:
- Strongly-typed options for Server, Oidc, Relay and Sync, all ValidateOnStart. A
  self-hosted server that boots half-configured and fails later per-request is far harder
  to diagnose than one that refuses to start and names the bad setting.
- Cross-field validation the annotations cannot express: relay needs a WebSocketUrl when
  enabled, idle timeout must be under max session duration, item payload cap under batch cap.
- Startup warnings for combinations that are individually valid but dangerous together:
  RequireHttpsMetadata false outside Development, and AllowEmailLinking (which turns any
  token bearing a victim's email into account takeover, hence default false).

Auth:
- JwtBearer with ClockSkew cut to 30s from the 5-minute default; five minutes of slack on a
  credential granting vault ciphertext access is more than any clock needs.
- IncludeErrorDetails off, and a FallbackPolicy so an endpoint without an explicit policy
  still requires a caller rather than silently being public.

Discovery, per ADR 0002:
- /api/v1/meta reports versions, features and push caps.
- /.well-known/dodossh-configuration is the onboarding story: the user types one server URL
  and the client discovers OIDC authority, client id, scopes and relay endpoint.

Two environment problems found by actually running the stack:
- PostgreSQL 18 changed its data mount point. Mounting /var/lib/postgresql/data — correct
  through 17 — makes the image refuse to start; 18+ wants a single mount at
  /var/lib/postgresql with the cluster in a subdirectory.
- Keycloak moved to host port 18080. An unrelated Apache Tomcat on this machine holds
  127.0.0.1:8080, and a loopback-specific bind beats Docker's 0.0.0.0 publish for
  "localhost". It presents as Keycloak 404ing every realm while its own log says the import
  succeeded, which is a genuinely misleading failure.

Also: CA1848 is enforced, not advisory — warnings are errors, so the .editorconfig comment
claiming otherwise was wrong. Startup and health logging now uses [LoggerMessage]. And a
clean rebuild is back to zero warnings; the incremental build had been hiding 40 in test
projects (banned Guid.NewGuid, an obsolete Testcontainers constructor, and two analyzer
families that are genuinely noise under a test host).

Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 122 tests pass, format clean.
