pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 fb0286e1a9 put rootless docker back, behind the developer gate
Uncommented at all three sites: the call and import in provisionOsAccount, the
~/.local/dockers bind-mount directory in confineUserTree, and the DOCKER_HOST block in
the member zshrc.

Not restored unconditionally, which is how it was before. It now sits behind the same
Developer check as the Postgres role — the gate that prompted disabling it in the first
place. So rolePermitsDatabase is renamed rolePermitsDevTools: it gates two things now
and a name saying "database" while deciding whether you get containers is the kind of
comment that goes stale silently.

~/.local/dockers is created for EVERY account rather than only Developers. It is two
install calls, and confineUserTree is the function that places the layout, not the one
that knows who is a Developer — so a member promoted later finds it already correct.

Postgres role work is untouched and still in place.

Verified: transpiles.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 bf7e919593 only a Developer gets a postgres role
The gate rootless Docker was under, which I did not know about when the Postgres role
replaced it. It inherits the rule along with the purpose: a member not trusted to run
containers is not thereby trusted to run databases.

rolePermitsDatabase() is the single place that rule is written. Admin is deliberately
NOT included — administering the platform is not developing on it, and they are
separate roles precisely so they can be held separately. Say so if that is wrong.

provisionOsAccount now takes the role. Two call sites: create-user passes what the
owner picked, provision-linux-route reads it from the row — which makes that route
the way a member promoted to Developer gets the database role they did not qualify
for when their account was made.

The half that makes the gate real is in updateUserRoleHandler. Without it the rule
would decide what a Developer gets at creation and never look again, so demoting one
would leave their role, their databases and a working password in their ~/.zshenv —
a permission surviving its own revocation, with the UI then saying something untrue.

Revoke before recording, grant after: the drop runs BEFORE updateUser so a failure
aborts with the role unchanged and the whole thing retryable. Promotion runs after and
is non-fatal, like every other provisioning step.

Demotion keeps their data, same as deletion — databases are reassigned to the platform
role, not dropped — and logs where it went, so it does not look deleted.

KNOWN, not handled: a demoted member keeps a stale ~/.pgpass and ~/.zshenv naming a
role that no longer exists. Harmless (the connection just fails) but untidy, and it
means `cat ~/.zshenv` shows a password that no longer works.

Verified: transpiles, both call sites updated. Still no tsgo.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2ac58e2007 drop the postgres role when a member is decommissioned
It was written and never called — dropPostgresRole had zero call sites, so deleting a
member left their role and databases on the cluster.

That is the uid trap in a different id space, and worse. provisionPostgresRole ADOPTS
an existing role, so a role left behind is inherited whole, with its databases, by the
next member who gets the same username. useradd hands out the lowest free uid by
accident; the owner hands out usernames on purpose, so reuse is likelier here, not
less.

Rewritten to PRESERVE rather than destroy. The first version dropped the databases,
which is inconsistent with severMemberTree three files away — that chowns a member's
files to the service user rather than deleting them, and a database is the same kind
of thing. The owner removing an account has not necessarily asked to destroy the work
in it, and dropping is the one choice that cannot be walked back.

Needs the full idiom, per database, and both halves matter:

  ALTER DATABASE .. OWNER TO         REASSIGN OWNED does not move database ownership
  REASSIGN OWNED BY .. TO ..         moves tables, schemas, functions
  DROP OWNED BY ..                   removes what is left, which after a reassign is
                                     only the GRANTS — without it DROP ROLE still
                                     refuses, an ACL entry is a dependency too

Both statements act only on the database they are connected to, so it is a connection
per database rather than a loop over `db`.

Ordered after the Linux teardown (which can fail and abort, and must not do so after
something irreversible) and before deleteUser (the row is what remembers there is
anything to clean up).

Verified live: a member with a database, a table, a row and a schema. Naive DROP ROLE
refused with "2 objects in database carol_app". After the sequence: role gone, row
intact, table owned by postgres. Then recreated the same username and confirmed she is
REFUSED from the old database — the login trigger holds because ownership moved.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 040ea41dbc per-user linux accounts are not optional any more
OFFICER_OS_USERS is gone. The platform behaves as it always would have with the
flag on, and there is nothing to enable.

Six conditionals, five of which were dead weight — provisionOsAccount,
deprovisionOsAccount and the create/delete paths each opened with an early
"not enabled on this server" return, and the API told the frontend whether to
render the Linux controls at all. Those go, along with the 'disabled'
DeprovisionResult stage, which nothing can produce now.

The sixth is the one with teeth. assertSecretsClosed opened with
`if (!OS_USERS_ENABLED) return`, described in its own comment as "a no-op when
the feature is off, so an existing install is unaffected until the owner opts
in". It is now unconditional: the server refuses to boot while any .env in the
project root is group- or world-readable. A member's shell reading .env and
printing JWT_SECRET was confirmed exploitable when this check was written, and a
prerequisite that only holds when somebody remembers to set a variable is not a
prerequisite.

Nothing to remove on the environment side — the flag was never in .env.example
or in the setup script.

Not typechecked: node_modules is empty in this tree and installs are frozen, so
tsgo could not run. All six files parse under `bun build --no-bundle`, and the
changes are deletions of dead branches plus one removed early return. Formatted
with prettier 3.9.6 via bunx rather than the pinned resolution, for the same
reason; its one unrelated reformat was reverted by hand.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 cec8fbe57e the acl check could not fail, because sudo drops DATA_PATH
Review of 76cd7c2. The ACL finding is right and the fix is correct — verified here that `setfacl -R -P -b`
removes the default entries as well as the access ones, which the man page splits between -b and -k and
does not settle. `acl` is already a core package in setup.sh, so the new hard dependency is real.

But the checker it added cannot fail in the way it is documented to be run.

`assert-uid-free.sh` is invoked as `sudo ./assert-uid-free.sh --check ...`, and sudo's env_reset DROPS
DATA_PATH, so the script falls back to the hardcoded `/home/pastilhas/officerdev/data` — which is not this
machine's data directory and does not exist. Every check in the file is "look for X, report ok when nothing
is found", so a missing root reports clean without looking. Demonstrated: a tree carrying both
`user:65534:rwx` and `default:user:65534:rwx` was reported as `ok  no ACL entries naming uid 65534`.

The ACL check is the one that fails silently and completely, because it is the only one scoped to DATA_PATH
alone — the uid and subuid scans still walk /home and would catch something. So the check just added to
catch the hazard ownership cannot see is the check a wrong DATA_PATH disables.

Fixed by refusing rather than passing:

  require_roots       every search root must exist, or exit 2 naming it and showing the sudo invocation
                      that preserves DATA_PATH
  numeric guard       uid/start/count must be numbers. deprovisionOsAccount logs '<no-subuid-range>' in
                      that position for an account with no /etc/subuid entry, and pasting that log line in
                      — which is exactly how it is meant to be used — made sub_end empty and turned the
                      range scan into a no-op.

The handler's audit line now prints DATA_PATH inside the command it tells the operator to copy, and says
so explicitly when there is no subuid range rather than emitting a command that cannot work.

Verified: bogus root exits 2, non-numeric range exits 2, and the ACL check FAILS on a specimen tree
carrying the entries — the "make it fail before trusting it to pass" step from the spec's own subuid
section, now done for the ACL half too.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 46799dada8 deprovision a member's linux account when the platform account goes
Implements docs/deprovision-os-account.md. Until now deleteUserHandler removed the row, cascaded the
database, and left the entire Linux side running — measured on production on 2026-08-12: working login
shell, healthy postgres container, 454M of data, uid queued for the next useradd to reissue along with
everything still owned by it.

The load-bearing rule from the spec: sever the data from the uid BEFORE releasing the uid, and if
severing fails, do not release. A failed deprovision is not a broken account, it is a trap for whoever
is created next.

Sequence: disable-linger, terminate-user, reap-and-prove, chown -R, userdel (never -r).

  reap    terminate-user is not a barrier. Production measured a three-hour-old `/bin/zsh -i` surviving
          it AND the removal of /run/user/<uid>. So: pkill, bounded wait, pkill -9, bounded wait, and a
          final count that must be zero or the account is not released.
  chown   fixes the uid and subuid halves in one pass — it rewrites every file it walks whatever owned
          it. The range is still captured first, because userdel removes the /etc/subuid entry and after
          that nothing on the machine remembers what it was. It is returned on every path including the
          failures, and logged as the exact assert-uid-free.sh command line.

Two guards the spec did not ask for, both pure and unit-tested:

  guardDeletable    ensureOsUser's adoption rule backwards. Deletable only if the passwd home is the one
                    the platform would have confined, and uid >= 1000. Without it `userdel root` is one
                    bad users.osUser away and nothing else in the sequence would object.
  guardMemberTree   the tree must resolve to a direct child of DATA_PATH. The email reaches join() from a
                    database row and the result is the argument to a recursive chown.

chown runs with -h. Measured here that `chown -R` already declines to follow a symlink out of the tree and
re-owns the link itself, but the argv should say so rather than rest on traversal semantics — and
re-owning links is what makes `find -uid` (lstat) a meaningful check afterwards.

destroy exists, has no call site, and is chown-then-delete-as-the-service-user rather than sudo rm -rf, so
a recursive root delete built from a database column does not exist in this codebase.

deleteUserHandler now runs this FIRST and refuses to delete the row if it fails: the row is what remembers
there is anything to clean up, so deleting it first makes a failure unrecoverable through the UI.

NOT YET RUN AGAINST A REAL ACCOUNT. Only the pure guards have tests. The five-step validation is in the
doc; it needs the production host, a shell left open, and a container writing as a non-root user — the two
cases the quiet path passes vacuously.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 2c9d4e55aa retry a linux account in place instead of deleting the person
POST /users/:id/provision-linux, and a terminal button on each user row. One
operation covering three needs that were all previously answered by "delete the
account and make it again":

  backfill  an account created before the feature existed, or while the host was not
            set up for it
  retry     the first attempt failed for something since fixed — the traversable
            ancestor chmod being the one everybody hits once
  re-key    replace authorized_keys with a new public key

Deleting to redo a retryable side effect throws away the password, the dashboards and
everything else keyed to the row.

The provisioning block moves out of create-user into provisionOsAccount, shared by
both entry points for the same reason app-store/members.ts is shaped that way: two
moments, one piece of work.

Found by testing the retry rather than the create: provisionUserDirs re-chmods every
directory including home, and home belongs to the MEMBER after the first successful
run — chmod requires ownership, so it threw EPERM and took every retry down before it
started. Those chmods are now a default for directories being created, not an
assertion about ones that already exist; os-user.ts sets the home's mode through sudo
and is the authority for it.

The route answers 200 with the error in the body, because the interesting cases are
partial: "the account exists and is confined but the keys failed" is not nothing
having happened, and the row shows both halves.

Verified end to end: blocked ancestor reports the chmod and leaves osUser null, the
retry after that chmod succeeds and records the row, and a re-key replaces
authorized_keys without rotating the outbound key.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 0fb9a29e64 ssh for a member's linux account, both directions
Inbound and outbound are two keys doing two jobs, and treating them as
alternatives breaks the goal:

  inbound   ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, from an optional public key the owner pastes
            on the create form. Their private half stays on their laptop.
  outbound  ~/.ssh/id_ed25519, generated in their home, never leaves the machine.

"They pasted a key, so skip generating one" is the obvious simplification. Agent
forwarding covers a human in an interactive session, but a platform-spawned agent
has no agent socket to borrow — so an edge checkout it is asked to commit and push
needs a key that lives on the box. The inbound key is therefore optional and the
outbound one is not.

No linux password, ever: useradd sets none, which blocks password login and does
not block key auth. So "real user, reachable over SSH, no password anywhere" is
the resting state, and the platform password stays the platform's business.

Validation is about line count, not key shape. Every line of authorized_keys is a
credential, so a pasted value with a newline would install a SECOND key silently.
Multi-line refused, a private key refused by name, an options prefix refused.

Every write goes through sudo install: the home is 700 and the member's, so the
service user cannot even create .ssh. install sets content, owner and mode in one
step, and content travels as a temp path so nothing quotes a form value into a
shell. ssh-keygen runs AS the member so the private key is never briefly root's.

known_hosts is not seeded — StrictHostKeyChecking accept-new instead. The Gitea
SSH endpoint is not knowable at create time, and the default setting makes a first
connection prompt, which in a non-interactive agent turn is a hang rather than an
error. accept-new still refuses a changed host key.

The generated public key is stored on the row and shown twice: on the after-create
panel and behind a key button on the user's row. It has an errand attached that
nothing else will remind anyone about — it must be added to their Gitea account.

Verified with a real useradd: .ssh 700 and id_ed25519 600 both owned by the member
and usable by them, authorized_keys byte-identical to the paste, no key rotation on
a second run, and a multi-line paste refused with authorized_keys untouched.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 69a31051ac the owner can create accounts
POST /api/users plus an Add-account form in Settings > User management. Until now
createUser had one call site — bootstrap, gated on an empty user table — so every
non-owner account anywhere had been inserted into Postgres by hand.

Created accounts are Active. The column defaults to Unverified and signin refuses
anything else with a bare UNAUTHORIZED, which is exactly what made the hand-INSERT
route look like a wrong password.

Also closes a hole found while reading the write path: a second Super Admin was
storable. The CHECK constraint pins user 1's role but cannot see other rows, and
getOwnerUser() was LIMIT 1 with no ORDER BY, so two holders would have made "who owns
this server" a question the query plan answered — and that answer feeds the agent
sidecar's identity, vault access and origin scoping. Both write paths now refuse the
role and getOwnerUser() orders by id.

USER_DIRS and provisionUserDirs move into data-path.ts so the create handler and
scripts/provision-user-dirs.ts cannot disagree about what an account's skeleton is.

pastilhasandClaude Opus 5 a328451250 add /settings/user-management
The role column now has somewhere to be used from. Lists every account, changes
roles, removes members.

API — all owner-only, mounted on the existing users router:
  GET    /api/users            list, plus the role enum so the UI never
                               hand-writes the names
  PATCH  /api/users/:id/role   change a role
  DELETE /api/users/:id        remove an account

ownerGate uses isSuperAdmin, which now reads the role column. The global backstop
in originScopeMiddleware already confines a non-owner token to /api/auth +
/api/music, so a Member cannot reach any of this — the gate is the explicit
statement of intent and gives a clear 403 rather than leaning on a rule written
for another purpose.

The password hash never leaves the handler: listing accounts is not a reason to
hand out hashes, so the response is an explicit shape rather than the row.

The owner is refused twice over, in both handlers, before the database has to.
ck_users_owner_is_super_admin and deleteUser() would each reject it anyway, but a
raw CHECK violation surfaces as a 500 in Postgres wording, which tells the person
clicking a dropdown nothing. Same reason `isOwner` is on the wire: the UI locks
that row rather than offering an action that cannot succeed.

The menu entry is shown to the owner only. That is tidiness, not access control —
the route stays reachable and the endpoints are gated server-side, because a
hidden menu item is not a permission and anything relying on it being hidden is
already wrong. Said so in the code, next to both.

Deleting cascades — passkeys, dashboards, screens, email accounts, playlists —
and there is no undo, so it asks first and says what goes.

Not built: invitations. Creating an account still means bootstrap or a row by
hand; an invite flow needs a token, an email and an acceptance screen, which is
its own piece of work.

Untested at runtime: the routes 404 on the running server because platform TS
does not hot-reload. Everything typechecks, the token path was verified against
/api/dashboards, /api/tasks and /api/jobs returning 200, and the 404 is the
restart asymmetry rather than the wiring. Needs `pm2 restart officer`.
