ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN, ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN_MUSIC, and everything they gated. The flag
defaulted to ON, so none of it ran on a real install — what comes out is
documented defence in depth that was already switched off. The file said so
itself: "Both flags and their call sites come out once the tailnet is the
perimeter."
Origin was never authentication here in any case. An app's `officer://<hex>`
origin is chosen by the client, forgeable outside a browser, and extractable from
a shipped binary.
Gone: the two flags, isOriginAllowed, isOriginCheckDisabled, isMusicOriginExempt,
originValidationMiddleware, ORIGIN_RULES and the whole OFFICER_<APP>_ORIGIN
scheme, PUBLIC_URL's origin/host derivation, and origin-validation.test.ts, which
existed only to pin them. CORS now echoes whatever Origin it is given, which is
what every install already did.
What SURVIVES is the reason this needed care. origin-validation.ts held two
unrelated things, and the second was the global authorization gate — a valid
non-owner token reaches only what its role grants, deliberately NOT under the
flag because it is account-based rather than origin-based. Its own comment called
it "the airtight half". Deleting the file wholesale would have deleted
authorization.
So it moves to _middlewares/capability-gate.ts as capabilityGateMiddleware, with
the name matching what it does: nothing in it reads an Origin header any more.
hono.ts mounts it in the same position, ahead of every router.
origin-middleware.ts stays and is untouched — it extracts the Origin for six auth
handlers that log it, and for passkeys. Extraction, not validation.
Also updates every claim that rested on the old model: CLAUDE.md's security
section and repo map, docs/secret-store.md, docs/mobile-api-keys.md, and five
messages in machine-setup's Tailscale section which told the owner to set
ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN=false when declining a tailnet. That advice is now impossible to
follow, and the honest version is different: with no tailnet the token is the
whole lock, so put a proxy in front and restrict who can reach it.
Not typechecked (empty node_modules, frozen installs). Every changed file parses;
the setup section was run and writes four variables now.

Reported from two browser windows: an account deleted from the dashboard survived a
page refresh in the other one. Two independent halves.
Server: userMiddleware looked the account up, then read the result as
`dbUser?.passwordChangedAt` — so a DELETED account fell through the optional chain and
the request proceeded on a token that is still cryptographically valid, for up to the
full 30 days. `status` was the same hole from the other direction: signin refuses
anything that is not Active, but nothing rechecked it afterwards, so marking someone
Blocked did not end the session they already had, which is exactly when you would be
doing it. Now the account must exist and be Active on every request.
Client: nothing reacted to a 401 at all. onError fed the bug-report form and stopped
there, so the window kept rendering off cached React Query data. A 401 now clears every
storage key createClient reads and returns to the sign-in screen. /auth/ is exempt
because a wrong password is also a 401 and reloading the form would look like a crash.
window.officerBearerToken was declared non-optional, which made "there is no token"
unspeakable. It has always been one of five sources, any of which may be absent.

a user can mint a long-lived key for an app or a device instead of
carrying a 30-day session, so multiple logins on the mobile apps are
per-device revocable rather than one shared token.
identity was being decided independently in userMiddleware and
originScopeMiddleware, each verifying the token itself. teaching only
one of them a new credential format is how those two stop agreeing, so
both now call resolveAuthToken and neither knows what a bearer string
is. verified: a member's key returns the same status as their jwt on
every route tried, 403s included.
a key carries its holder's full authority — not an escalation, it
equals what the password could already do. scoping wants a scopes
column, not a change here.

Off unless ALLOW_ANY_ORIGIN_MUSIC=true, so it is opt-in per host and reverting is an env
edit rather than a deploy. Set on this host now; the flag and the two call sites come out
when the tailnet becomes the perimeter and the music app stops needing to be public.
It drops one layer, not the lock: /api/music still requires a valid token through
userMiddleware, and the non-owner account backstop in originScopeMiddleware still confines
music accounts to /api/auth + /api/music whatever Origin they claim. Worth being plain
about what is lost — Origin was never authentication here. `officer://<hex>` is chosen by
the client, trivially forged outside a browser, and extractable from any shipped app
binary. It is defence in depth, and this removes it for one path prefix.
Two gates had to know: userMiddleware, which is what actually 403s, and the CORS origin
callback, which would otherwise echo an empty origin and block a browser client that
userMiddleware had already allowed through.

Officer is single-user: the server owner is the only account, created once by
/auth/bootstrap. Everything that existed to serve additional users was
unreachable, so it is gone rather than left looking like it does something.
Accounts: drop the invite / resend-invite / delete / list-users routes and the
Users settings screen, the inert /auth/signup handler, and the account
verification chain it fed (verify, resend-verification, VerifyScreen, the
UserInvite + VerifyAdmin + VerifyRegistration templates). /auth/verify-token
survives for password resets only, and now requires a reset-password token
rather than accepting any signed JWT.
Roles: drop the users.role column and the four-value USER_ROLES enum. The
permissions table granted every role identical methods, and every
role === 'Super Admin' check was permanently true. The JWT no longer carries a
role claim.
Sandbox: remove sidecar/sandbox.ts and its five call sites. bwrap was selected
only for non-Super-Admin users, so it never ran. It was also not a usable agent
jail as written — --share-net, the project root (with .env) bound read-only,
and runuser dropping to the server's own uid. Rebuilding it for agent
containment would be a different construction, and git history keeps this one.
getHomeDir keeps its DATA_PATH meaning; the new getOwnerHomeDir resolves the
owner's real login home, which is what terminals, chats and task runs use.

Add a duress password (DISTRESS_PASSWORD env): entering it at login trips an
in-memory full lockdown — all new logins (password + passkey) and every existing
session are refused until the server is restarted, and the login itself returns a
normal "invalid credentials" so it gives nothing away. Also add
POST /api/auth/blacklist-token as a clearly-named alias for revoking the current
JWT (same effect as signout).
