-### The mobile nav stays reachable on engines without `:has()`
-
-At 860px and narrower, an engine without `:has()` (Chromium below 105, such as webOS TV 22 and 23,
-and Firefox below 121) hid the sidebar off-canvas with no way to open it, so the pages the nav links
-to could not be reached. Now the sidebar moves off-canvas, behind the hamburger, only where `:has()`
-works. Elsewhere it stays in the flow above the content and the hamburger is hidden.
-
-### The whole nav tree shows on engines without `:has()`
-
-On an engine without `:has()` (Chromium below 105, such as webOS TV 22 and 23, and Firefox below 121)
-every nested nav entry was hidden with nothing to open it. Now the tree folds only where `:has()`
-works and stays fully open elsewhere, with its toggles hidden. The theme switch, which also needs
-`:has()`, is hidden there.
-
-### Button and badge text meets 4.5:1 contrast
-
-The primary button and the current page button take their text colour from the new `--on-accent`
-token: white in light mode, near-black in dark mode, where white on the accent was 2.7:1. The
-light-mode success, warning and info badge text is darker. A plugin that overrides `--accent` or
-`--l-accent` should set `--l-on-accent` and `--d-on-accent` to match.
-
-### Unused auth stylesheet rules are gone
-
-`public/css/auth.css` no longer holds the `.auth-view` screen switch, `.tpl-*` preview controls,
-`.forgot-alert`, `.register-alert`, `.remember` and `.auth-foot`; no core view used them. A plugin
-view that did must carry its own rules.
-
-### Colours render on engines without `oklch()`
-
-The theme palette in `public/css/styles.css` is hex, not `oklch()`. On an engine older than
-Chromium 111 (Tizen 2024, webOS TV 24) `var(--accent)` was invalid, so the primary button was white
-text on no background. A plugin that sets a colour custom property, such as `--accent` or `--l-accent`,
-should use hex, `rgb()` or `hsl()` too.
-
-### One horizontal inset across the content pane
-
-The topbar, filter bar, pager, form page and empty-table message inset their content by `--pad-x`
-(12px), as table cells do, instead of 16px. A plugin that overrides `--pad-x` now moves all of them
-together.
-
-### Pages are not kept by a shared cache
-
-Every page and JSON response now carries `Cache-Control: private, no-store`, so a cache or reverse
-proxy in front of Plainpages can't store a signed-in page and serve it to the next visitor. A route
-whose page is the same for everyone can still set its own `cache-control` through
-`RouteResult.headers`; assets are unchanged.

-## Goals
-
-1. **Achieve:** Less boilerplate for a server-rendered web GUI: a new project starts at
-   its own domain, not at sign-in, a menu or a table.
-   - Signal: a new plugin reaches a working, gated page with a menu, tables, filters and
-     forms built only from the core building blocks.
-   - Counter-signal: the core grows features only one project needs.
-   - Why: boilerplate removed by absorbing a project's domain only moves it into the core.
-2. **Achieve:** Every building block works for the person using it: a non-technical user
-   gets what they meant on the first try, and can't hurt themselves by accident.
-   - Signal: bugs users hit in a shipped flow get fixed and stay fixed, such as a pasted
-     code being refused, a double click acting twice, or an admin locking themselves out.
-   - Counter-signal: a fix adds client-side JavaScript, or a setting every plugin has to
-     know about.
-   - Why: a fix that breaks zero-JS or simplicity moves the irritation from users to every
-     plugin author.
-3. **Maintain:** Plainpages solves only the parts every project shares: auth, the GUI
-   building blocks (menu, tables, filters, forms) and the plugin structure. Everything
-   else is a plugin.
-4. **Maintain:** Every page is a server-rendered document that works with zero JavaScript,
-   on old and embedded browsers too. A newer browser only makes it nicer.
-5. **Maintain:** State lives in the URL. Only state the URL can't carry lives in the
-   database, never in local storage or JavaScript. A cookie carries only what must be bound
-   to the browser: the session and its CSRF token.
-6. **Maintain:** The frontend is semantic: the HTML says what each thing is, and the CSS
-   styles meaning, not looks. That keeps every page accessible.
-7. **Achieve:** Hackable: a plugin can change anything, and Plainpages stays out of its way.
-   - Signal: a plugin replaces any page, partial, menu entry or string without forking the
-     host, and fewer plugins need a host change to get unblocked.
-   - Counter-signal: plugins break on upgrade with no version signal, or a plugin mistake
-     shows up at runtime instead of at boot.
-   - Why: freedom that breaks silently costs more than the boilerplate it saved.
-8. **Achieve:** Speed: pages render fast and stay small.
-   - Signal: server time per page and bytes sent per page fall.
-   - Counter-signal: a building block loses a feature or accessibility to save bytes.
-   - Why: a fast page that does less only moves the work back into each plugin.
-9. **Achieve:** LLM-friendly: an LLM builds a correct plugin from the README and the
-   examples alone.
-   - Signal: an agent given only those writes a plugin that passes discovery and its E2E
-     test on the first try.
-   - Counter-signal: the README grows to restate what the code already shows.
-   - Why: docs that pass the test by growing cost every later reader, human or LLM.
-10. **Maintain:** Every behaviour is an explicit configuration choice, the same in every
-   environment.
-
-## Audience
-
-- **Developers starting a web GUI project, and the LLMs that build plugins with them.**
-  They may rely on `@plainpages/plugin-api`, the core partials and the packaging promises,
-  all versioned by `apiVersion`. A change that breaks a plugin takes a major bump.
-- **Operators** who self-host Plainpages. They may rely on semver-tagged images, on
-  configuration through environment variables and the drop-in mounts (`plugins/`,
-  `config/`, `locales/`), and on upgrades within a minor version that need no change on
-  their side.
-- **Visitors** to a site built on Plainpages, on any browser, including the older engines in
-  TVs, kiosks, thin clients and embedded panels. They may rely on pages that load fast and
-  work without JavaScript, with a keyboard and a screen reader.

-## Scoring
+## Unfinnished work
 
-`Score = 100 * V / (2**S + 8)`
+- [ ] **Publish every release to Docker Hub, and give the Hub page its short description.** Today Hub's newest tag is 0.4.0 (2026-09-10), while git has v0.4.1–v0.4.12, and the overview still says 0.4.0. No `release.yml` run exists for the tags auto-release pushes as `renovate-bot`, so neither the images nor the overview reach Hub; find out why Gitea doesn't fire `push: tags` for them, fix it, and backfill the missing tags. The short description is empty. fejkdata already did this (`../fejkdata`, commits `51d924a` and `34c8234`), and two parts port directly: a `dockerhub/description.txt`-style one-liner, which here can ride the existing PATCH as its `description` field; and a unit test that the description opens a README sentence and every command the overview shows appears in the README. fejkdata also syncs the page on any push to `main` that changes it, with its own Read/Write/Delete token in an environment only `main` may use, so the image-push token needs no Delete scope. Decide whether that fits here, where `{{VERSION}}` must render a released tag.
+- [ ] Rename the plugin "admin" to something less generic, like "auth-admin" or "users-groups-admin".
+- [ ] Guard the group paths against self-lockout, or accept them explicitly. The self-revoke guard covers only your own *direct* grants on the Users screen; unticking a permission on a group you belong to, removing yourself from that group, or deleting it can all still strip your own effective access with no warning. Recorded in AGENTS.md as a known gap — the robust fix is a "last effective holder" check, which needs a reverse Keto query.
+- [ ] The permission picker has no concurrency baseline, so two operators editing the same user/group silently discard each other's change. Sketch: post the rendered set as a hidden baseline; if it no longer matches Keto, re-render with "this changed while you had the page open" rather than applying.
+- [ ] A grant whose plugin was uninstalled is invisible and unremovable in the GUI. `grantDiff` deliberately never revokes an undeclared name, but nothing *shows* it either — so it can't be audited or cleaned, and reinstalling that plugin silently reactivates access nobody remembers granting. Sketch: a read-only "held, but no installed plugin offers this" list with a remove action.
+- [ ] A plugin may gate a route on a permission it never declares — declaring stays optional on purpose. The cost is a dead end: the picker is built from declarations only, so that route is ungrantable from the GUI with no boot error and a permanent 403 as the operator's only clue. Sketch: a discovery *warning* (not an error) naming the gated-but-undeclared permission.
+- [ ] Saving permissions gives no confirmation, and a partial failure is silent. `applyGrants` loops writes then deletes with no transaction, so a Keto error midway leaves a half-applied set behind the generic error page; and a successful save is indistinguishable from "nothing changed". The `alert alert-pos` pattern the recovery-code banner uses is already available.
+- [ ] In Playwright tests, try different resolutions and sizes, from BIG desktop down to tiny phone.
+- [ ] Decide whether `e2e-tests/` should be typechecked. It is outside `tsconfig.include`, so the gate never checks its most logic-bearing file (`console-guard.ts`). Including it needs the DOM lib and `@playwright/test` present wherever `npm run typecheck` runs, which today is the `web` image that installs neither.
+- [ ] Decide whether Playwright's `workers` should be pinned. Unset, it sizes the pool from `os.cpus()`, which reports the host's cores regardless of a container CPU quota — and with `retries: 0` a starved runner turns a slow test straight into a red gate. Fine on the current act_runner; revisit if CI ever runs constrained.
+- [ ] Record the browser floor Plainpages requires, and whether the fallback is the contract or a courtesy. The stylesheet needs `:has()` (Dec 2023); the menus need the popover API (Safari 17) and CSS anchor positioning for placement (newer still, and unguarded — the `@supports` test covers popover only). An iPadOS 16 tablet, capped at Safari 16, therefore gets panels flowing inline rather than working menus. Either state a supported floor or accept the fallback for those devices; nobody has rendered that path on real hardware.
+- [ ] Decide whether the profile dropdown still earns a dropdown. It holds one item, Sign out, behind a click, and its "Signed in as X" head repeats what the trigger already shows.
+- [ ] Trim whitespace around the verification code — a copy+pasted code from the email fails, today as a browser `pattern` refusal rather than a Kratos rejection, now carrying a digits-only hint so that refusal isn't bare. The paste still fails. **Own session.** No zero-JS fix exists: `pattern` is rejective and cannot transform, so loosening it only lets the untrimmed value through. The real fix is a host-side proxy of the flow POST, which is feasible and half-built — `submitFlow` (`src/auth/kratos-public.ts:132`) already relays cookies and normalises a 422 `redirect_browser_to`, and has no callers outside tests. CSRF improves rather than breaks: the host already writes Kratos' cookie onto its own origin (`src/auth/routes.ts:77`), so the POST becomes same-origin, and `form-action 'self'` could finally join the CSP. Two risks: one `flow.ui.action` serves all five flows, so this rewrites the sign-in path, not just code entry; and Go's nosurf checks Referer only over https, which no test here covers. **Check first:** `kratos-admin.ts:75` returns a `recovery_link` alongside the code — if the stock courier mail carries one (unverified), a template change fixes the UX with no host code. Code entry has no E2E coverage today either way.
+- [ ] Guard against the double-clicked submit, without client-side JavaScript. A non-technical user clicks a button twice when nothing happens fast enough, so a second identical POST is an expected event, not misuse — today it creates two users, mints two recovery codes, or registers two OAuth2 clients. Constraints: HTML/CSS only, and it must not break an action that is *legitimately* repeatable. Sketch: a CSS-only affordance so the second click has nothing to hit, paired with the host recognising a duplicate on the server — same session, route and payload within a short window — then logging and dropping it. Open questions: what identifies "the same submission" (a one-time token minted into each rendered form beats hashing the payload, and the CSRF plumbing already mints per-request tokens), the window length, where the record lives given the app is stateless, and how a plugin declares a route repeatable.
+- [ ] Decide the caching contract for rendered pages. Responses carry `Vary: Accept-Language` but nothing sets `Cache-Control`, so a shared cache has no instruction and a signed-in page is not marked `private`. Either set the headers deliberately (public cacheable, gated `private, no-store`) or record in AGENTS.md that the reverse proxy owns this.
+- [ ] Decide whether the single generic Keto `Resource` namespace should become per-domain namespaces (`Shift`, `Document`, …), as Ory's own examples model it. One global `Resource` bucket is the project's own "no catch-all names" rule applied to namespaces. A design question, not a naming one.
+- [ ] Decide what `ICON_NAMES` (`src/ui/icons.ts`) actually is. `i-chart`, `i-copy`, `i-download` and `i-sliders` have no caller anywhere — so either they go, or the comment should say the palette is curated and may carry an id ahead of its first use. Not cosmetic: the sprite is inlined into every page, and the rule decides whether a future removal is routine cleanup or a plugin-facing regression.
+- [ ] Decide (once) whether the CSRF token staying unbound to `sub`/session is accepted. `src/auth/csrf.ts` signs `<nonce>.<HMAC(secret, nonce)>` with no session binding, so any validly-signed token passes for any user — an attacker who can write cookies on the origin can fix a token they know. Standard for unbound signed double-submit and plausibly fine behind `SameSite=Lax` + HSTS. Accepted ⇒ record it in AGENTS.md and README → Security model; not accepted ⇒ bind the nonce to `sub`.
+- [ ] Verify the documented Docker commands on macOS and fix whatever misbehaves — **macOS is a supported dev host**, but nothing here has been run on one. Two suspects, both from the `--user "$(id -u):$(id -g)"` idiom: a macOS `id -g` is `20`, which is `dialout` inside the noble image rather than a user group, and Docker Desktop remaps bind-mount ownership in its own VM layer. The same question covers rootless Docker, where README already says to *drop* the flag.
+- [ ] Map Kratos' 401 on a self-service flow init, so an anonymous `GET /settings` with no `?flow` renders instead of 500ing. `flowPage` (`src/auth/routes.ts`) maps 403/404/410 → restart the flow, 400 `session_already_available` → `/auth/complete`, and ≥500 → the themed 503, then rethrows everything else — and Kratos answers the settings-flow init with 401 when there is no session. `/settings` is correctly `public` (the recovery flow lands there with a live Kratos session but no app JWT), so the gate is not the fix: a 401 should redirect to `/login` with the page as `return_to`. No E2E covers an anonymous hit on a flow page that needs a session.
 
-`Bar = 1`
+### Architectural review findings (2026-07-02)
 
-`Next ID = 39`
+Prioritized. Overall verdict: architecture is sound; these are refinements.
 
-## Items
+- [ ] **MEDIUM — Add complexity/method-size static analysis to the CI gate.** Only `tsc --strict` today; a size/complexity rule would have caught the `app.ts` growth.
+- [ ] **LOW — The users list offers a pencil "Edit" row action to a `users:read` holder.** The link is harmless (it opens the read-only detail page), but the label contradicts what the reader can do. Needs `canWrite` threaded into `listTable` plus a `common.view` core catalog key and an `i-eye` entry in `ICON_NAMES`.
+- [ ] **MEDIUM→LOW — Add a list-page view-model helper in `src/ui/`.** Every list screen hand-rewrites the same ~40 lines bridging `parseListQuery`/`paginate` to the EJS partials; at minimum a `buildPaginationModel(page, hrefFor)` block.
+- [ ] **LOW→MEDIUM — Retire `src/ui/shell-context.ts`.** `ShellModel`/`buildShellContext` has one consumer left (dashboard) and duplicates `PageChrome` on almost every field. Fold the dashboard onto `ctx.chrome` + title/breadcrumbs; keep `shellUser` as the shared primitive.
+- [ ] **LOW — Fix stale doc references to removed `docs/plugin-contract.md`** in `views/index.ejs` (user-visible dashboard text; also links /scheduling as if pre-installed) and `examples/plugins/scheduling/views/shifts.ejs`.
+- [ ] **LOW — Decide (once) on a `ctx.system` facade.** `@plainpages/plugin-api` exposes raw Ory client shapes, so an Ory client refactor is a major `apiVersion` bump. AGENTS.md accepts this; revisit only if external plugin authors appear.
+- [ ] **LOW — README/AGENTS.md gaps:** state the intended lifetime/horizon explicitly, add a short domain glossary (host, manifest, chrome, nav fragment, permission token, system plugin, denylist…), and note the expected plugin-author population and plugin count — per-plugin dependency isolation prices N dependency trees on disk and in RSS, and that number is what says whether the trade needs revisiting (build-time dedupe for baked images stays open).

+## Finnished work
 
-## Details
-
-### 26. Add a domain glossary and the project's intended horizon to the README.
-
-Glossary: host, manifest, chrome, nav fragment, permission token, system plugin, denylist. Also the
-expected plugin count, since per-plugin dependency isolation prices N dependency trees on disk and
-in RSS.
-
-### 24. Retire `src/ui/shell-context.ts` and render the dashboard from `ctx.chrome`.
-
-`ShellModel`/`buildShellContext` has one consumer, the dashboard, and duplicates `PageChrome` on
-almost every field. Keep `shellUser` as the shared primitive.
-
-### 17. Remove the icons no caller uses from `ICON_NAMES` and the sprite.
-
-`i-chart`, `i-copy` and `i-download` have no caller, and the sprite is inlined into every page.
-AGENTS.md → "`ICON_NAMES` is a host-owned registry" already makes this routine cleanup.
-
-### 21. Fail the gate on a function that exceeds a size or complexity limit.
-
-Only `tsc --strict` runs today. A new tool is a new dependency, so justify it.
-
-### 38. Correct the TOKENS comment at the top of `public/css/styles.css` so it no longer claims `:has()` swaps are "rock-solid" or that the theme follows the OS on every engine.
-
-Section 1's TOKENS comment says the theme follows the OS by default and that `:has()` variable swaps
-are "rock-solid". On an engine without `:has()` (Chromium below 105, Firefox below 121) every theme
-rule is inert, the OS-dark rule included, so those engines stay light, as the
-`@supports not selector(:has(a))` block further down says. A reader trusting the comment expects dark
-mode there.
-
-### 32. Fail the gate on a stylesheet feature the browser floor lacks, unless it is guarded.
-
-Nothing checks README → "Two browser floors", and no E2E engine is old enough to show a break.
-Lint every stylesheet, the examples' included, against Chromium 87, Safari 15 and Firefox 115, and
-allow a feature only inside an `@supports` that guards it.
-
-### 20. Redirect an anonymous hit on a session-needing flow page to sign-in, instead of a 500.
-
-`flowPage` (`src/auth/routes.ts`) rethrows a 401, which Kratos answers to a settings-flow init with no
-session. `/settings` stays `public`, since recovery lands there with a Kratos session but no app JWT;
-a 401 should redirect to `/login` with the page as `return_to`. Add the missing E2E.
-
-### 4. Refuse a permission save whose baseline no longer matches Keto, so concurrent edits are not silently lost.
-
-Sketch: post the rendered set as a hidden baseline; when it no longer matches Keto, re-render with
-"this changed while you had the page open" rather than applying.
-
-### 7. Confirm a successful permission save, and report a partial failure instead of hiding it.
-
-`applyGrants` loops writes then deletes with no transaction, so a Keto error midway leaves a
-half-applied set behind the generic error page. The `alert alert-pos` pattern of the recovery-code
-banner is available.
-
-### 22. Offer a `users:read` holder a View row action on the users list, not Edit.
-
-The pencil opens the read-only detail page, so it is harmless, but the label contradicts what the
-reader can do. Needs `canWrite` threaded into `listTable`, a `common.view` core catalog key and an
-`i-eye` icon.
-
-### 34. Serve every stylesheet and script under a content-versioned URL with a year-long immutable `Cache-Control`, so a page view downloads none of them again.
-
-`serveStatic` (`src/http/static.ts`) sends only `content-length` and `content-type`, so every page
-view downloads `styles.css`, `auth.css` and each plugin's stylesheet again: about 50 kB on a plugin's
-issue page, seconds per page over GPRS. Firefox can paint the page unstyled meanwhile, when an
-extension forces layout early.
-
-- A versioned URL carries a hash of the file's content, as `?v=<hash>` or in the path, and answers
-  `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`. A release changes the hash, so it still
-  reaches every browser at once.
-- An unversioned `/public/` URL answers a short `max-age` with revalidation: `ETag` or
-  `Last-Modified`, and 304 on `If-None-Match` or `If-Modified-Since`, for GET and HEAD.
-- Every `/public/` href the host renders comes out versioned: the shell's `<link>`s and favicon,
-  the error pages (`views/403.ejs`, `404`, `500`, `503`, `error`), `views/oauth-consent.ejs`, and
-  the `styles` hrefs a plugin passes to `views/partials/shell.ejs`.
-- **Recommended: the host versions a plugin's hrefs itself.** A plugin names its asset once, as
-  today, and the shell adds the version to any `/public/` href. A helper would make every plugin
-  author remember to call it, and adds to the barrel.
-- **Contract:** `views/partials/*.ejs` are contract surface (AGENTS.md → Rules). Host-side
-  versioning keeps the `styles` option and its meaning, and an unversioned href keeps working, so
-  no minor bump of `HOST_API_VERSION` is needed and 0.4.21 holds. A helper exported through
-  `@plainpages/plugin-api` would add to the contract and need 0.5.0.
-- Pages stay `private, no-store` (`src/http/app.ts`); the static branch returns before that header
-  is set.
-
-Tests first, with expected values from this item: `src/http` unit tests for both header sets and the
-304s, and an E2E test that a repeat page view fetches no stylesheet again. State the choice once in a
-comment in `static.ts`, and in a sentence where the README tells plugin authors and operators about
-assets. Requested by plainpages-plugin-fastjira, whose own item waits on the release that ships this.
-
-### 3. Guard the group paths against self-lockout, or accept the gap explicitly.
-
-The self-revoke guard covers only your own direct grants on the Users screen. Unticking a permission
-on a group you belong to, leaving that group, or deleting it can still strip your own access with no
-warning. AGENTS.md records this as a known gap. The robust fix is a "last effective holder" check,
-which needs a reverse Keto query.
-
-### 1. Publish every release to Docker Hub, and give the Hub page its short description.
-
-Hub's newest tag is 0.4.0, while git has v0.4.1 onwards, and the overview still says 0.4.0. No
-`release.yml` run exists for the tags auto-release pushes as `renovate-bot`; find out why Gitea
-doesn't fire `push: tags` for them, fix it, and backfill the missing tags. fejkdata did this
-(`../fejkdata`, commits `51d924a` and `34c8234`), and two parts port directly: a one-line
-description riding the existing PATCH as its `description` field, and a unit test that the
-description opens a README sentence and every command the overview shows appears in the README.
-fejkdata also syncs the page on any push to `main`, with its own token in an environment only `main`
-may use; decide whether that fits here, where `{{VERSION}}` must render a released tag.
-
-### 13. Accept a verification code pasted with surrounding whitespace.
-
-A pasted code fails the browser's `pattern` check. No zero-JS fix exists: `pattern`
-cannot transform, so loosening it only lets the untrimmed value through to Kratos. **Check first:**
-`kratos-admin.ts` returns a `recovery_link` alongside the code; if the stock courier mail can carry
-one, a template change fixes this with no host code. Otherwise proxy the flow POST through the host:
-`submitFlow` (`src/auth/kratos-public.ts`) already relays cookies and normalises a 422
-`redirect_browser_to`, and has no callers outside tests. CSRF improves, since the POST becomes
-same-origin and `form-action 'self'` can join the CSP. Risks: one `flow.ui.action` serves all five
-flows, so this rewrites the sign-in path; and Go's nosurf checks Referer only over https, which no
-test covers. Code entry has no E2E coverage today.
-
-### 19. Run the documented Docker commands on macOS and fix whatever misbehaves.
-
-Needs a Mac. Two suspects, both from `--user "$(id -u):$(id -g)"`: a macOS `id -g` is `20`, which is
-`dialout` inside the noble image, and Docker Desktop remaps bind-mount ownership in its VM.
-
-### 16. Decide whether the single Keto `Resource` namespace splits into per-domain namespaces.
-
-Ory's own examples model `Shift`, `Document` and so on. One global `Resource` bucket is the
-project's "no catch-all names" rule applied to namespaces.
-
-### 6. Warn at discovery when a route or nav node gates on a permission no plugin declares.
-
-Declaring stays optional on purpose, but the picker is built from declarations only, so such a route
-is ungrantable from the GUI and answers a permanent 403. A warning, not an error.
-
-### 23. Give list pages one view-model helper from query to pagination, instead of ~40 hand-written lines each.
-
-Every list screen bridges `parseListQuery`/`paginate` to the partials by hand. At minimum a
-`buildPaginationModel(page, hrefFor)`. Exported through the barrel, so it is contract surface.
-
-### 28. Let a plugin add entries to the profile menu through the plugin API.
-
-The profile dropdown stays a dropdown: Sign out is its only entry today, and it will gain more.
-`views/partials/shell.ejs` hand-rolls it (AGENTS.md → UI, the dropdown rule), so the entries need a
-manifest field that discovery checks, gated like a nav node.
-
-### 2. Rename the admin example plugin to a name that says what it administers.
-
-Candidates: `auth-admin`, `users-groups-admin`. The id is also the mount path, so the compose files,
-E2E stacks and README move with it.
-
-### 5. List grants that no installed plugin declares, with a remove action.
-
-`grantDiff` never revokes an undeclared name, and nothing shows one either, so it can't be audited or
-cleaned, and reinstalling its plugin silently reactivates access nobody remembers granting.
-
-### 14. Drop a double-clicked duplicate submit, with no client-side JavaScript.
-
-A second identical POST is expected from a non-technical user, and today creates two
-users, mints two recovery codes, or registers two OAuth2 clients. It must not break a legitimately
-repeatable action. Sketch: a CSS-only affordance so the second click has nothing to hit, plus the
-host recognising a duplicate (same session, route and payload within a short window), logging and
-dropping it. Open: what identifies "the same submission" (a one-time token minted into each form
-beats hashing the payload), the window, where the record lives given the host is stateless, and how
-a plugin declares a route repeatable.
+- [x] Configure a plugin at install time: the manifest declares `settings`, the operator sets one `PLUGIN_SETTING_<ID>_<KEY>` variable per key, and the resolved values arrive on `onBoot` typed from the declaration. Read-only admin screen at `/admin/plugin-settings`.
