 ## Unfinnished work

- [ ] There is a "Settings" in the bottom left (a little cog) showing a "Preferences" in a little menu when clicked. That is not in any spec, it exists when not even logged in and erh. Just remove.
 - [ ] On the first page there is a button saying "Log in" and in the bottom left corner another button says "Sign in". Use a uniform language.
 - [ ] When logged in, there is a "profile" link in the little box when I've clicked my username in the bottom left corner. There is no profile, so the link is dead. Remove it.
 - [ ] The little menues, like when choosing language or clicking my username, they do not dissapear when clicking outside them, I must click the original trigger or choose something. See if there are more modern ways of handling this with HTML and CSS. I think there is a modal-thing or something?

 - [x] The human developer understands the security model in the auth in this project. (Two README sections. [Users, groups & permissions](README.md#users-groups--permissions) carries the weight: the entity model, a worked graph, a per-route can/cannot walkthrough, and the trap that a per-row grant never widens a coarse gate — placed before Building plugins because a manifest's `permission:` gate is unreadable without it. [Security model](README.md#security-model) is deliberately short, only the facts a deployment gets wrong without them: the private network as the *only* guard on the Ory APIs, signed-not-encrypted claims, the 30-day Kratos session behind the ~10m JWT, and non-instant offboarding. The first attempt answered the *threat* model instead — a 12-row attack/defense table — which was the wrong question and mostly restated code readable at its source; cut. Also corrected the hardening checklist: `REQUIRE_SECURE_SECRETS` guards only `CSRF_SECRET`, so the committed Kratos/Hydra/Postgres/demo-admin secrets are now listed in "What you must supply". The mandatory-`exp` guard gained a test in `src/auth/jwt-middleware.test.ts`.)
 - [x] Add i18n support. (Catalogs are TS modules per locale — `src/i18n/locales/<tag>.ts` for the host, `plugins/<id>/i18n/<tag>.ts` for a plugin, looked up plugin-first then core; en-US + sv-SE ship. A request is served by `?locale=sv-SE` → `Accept-Language` → `en-US`, exact on a full tag but a lone language takes the first regional catalog; no cookie — when the URL asked, the host carries `?locale` onto the links it renders and `ctx.localeHref()` does it for a plugin's. `ctx.t(key, vars)` plus `t`/`locale`/`locales`/`localeHref`/`dir` merged into every view (any include depth); `{{var}}` interpolation, plurals via `Intl.PluralRules`, an unknown key renders as itself — which is what makes a nav label either a key or plain text. Every catalog is checked against its set's en-US at boot (keys, kind, plural categories) and a mismatch stops startup. Kratos' own flow text is mapped by its numeric id (only ids verified against the live stack; its generic trait-label id is deliberately unmapped, field labels key on the input name instead). Zero-JS language picker in the shell + the auth/consent pages, `<html lang dir>` from the locale. Core, both example plugins and their views translated; unit tests + `e2e-tests/language.spec.ts` in the visual gate; documented in README → Languages, decisions in AGENTS.md.)
 - [x] Settle the identity-vs-user vocabulary. (Plainpages says **user** everywhere — Keto namespace `User`, subjects `user:<kratos-id>`, `ctx.user`. Ory calls the record an "identity", but its own docs say it uses that term interchangeably with "users"/"accounts", so this is house style rather than a renamed concept, and "user" is the word readers know (Nielsen heuristic #2). README → Auth carries one note recording the mapping; the only place Ory's spelling survives is the `Identity` DTO in `src/auth/kratos-admin.ts`, which mirrors the Kratos wire shape. Recorded in AGENTS.md.)
+- [x] There is a "Settings" in the bottom left (a little cog) showing a "Preferences" in a little menu when clicked. That is not in any spec, it exists when not even logged in and erh. Just remove. (Dropped from the sidebar footer in `views/partials/shell.ejs`, which now carries the profile menu — or Sign in when anonymous — plus the language picker. The `shell.settings`/`shell.preferences` catalog keys went with it in both locales, as did the then-unreferenced `i-gear` icon: `ICON_NAMES` is by definition the icons the UI references, so `views/partials/icons.ejs` was regenerated from it. Kratos' own `/settings` account flow is a different thing and is untouched. Covered by `src/ui/shell.test.ts` signed-in and anonymous, plus the public-landing case in `e2e-tests/visual.spec.ts`.)
