 ## Unfinnished work
 
-- [ ] 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?
+- [ ] Decide whether the profile dropdown still earns a dropdown. With the dead Profile link gone it holds one item, Sign out, behind a click — and its "Signed in as X" head only repeats the name and email the trigger already shows. Either put Sign out in the footer directly, or give the menu a second reason to exist. Overlaps the outside-click item above. Raised by review 2026-08-05.
 - [ ] When copy+paste the verification code from the email, it doesn't work because it does not trim whitechars around the code in the form. It should trim automatically.
 - [ ] Guard against the double-clicked submit, without client-side JavaScript. The README's non-technical persona double-clicks a button that doesn't respond instantly, 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 (no client JS — priority: zero-JS spine), and it must not break an action that is *legitimately* repeatable (an increase-by-one button is not a duplicate, it is two increments). Sketch to evaluate: a CSS-only affordance so the second click has nothing to hit (`:active`/`:focus` state, or the submit visually and semantically settling), paired with the host recognising a duplicate on the server — same session, same route, same payload, within a short window — and then logging it and dropping the second rather than replaying it. Open questions: what identifies "the same submission" (a one-time token minted into each rendered form is stronger than hashing the payload, and the CSRF plumbing already mints per-request tokens), how long the window is, where the record lives given the app is stateless (in-memory like the revoke denylist, or push it to the upstream the plugin already writes to), and how a plugin declares a route as repeatable — an opt-out on the route, or opt-in per form. Raised 2026-08-04 with the personas.
 - [ ] Decide the caching contract for rendered pages. Responses now carry `Vary: Accept-Language` (they content-negotiate), but nothing sets `Cache-Control` — so a shared cache in front of the app has no instruction, and a signed-in page is not marked `private`. Pre-existing, surfaced by the i18n review 2026-08-03: either set the headers deliberately (public pages cacheable, gated pages `private, no-store`) or record in AGENTS.md that the reverse proxy owns this.

 - [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] 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. (English now says **sign in / sign out / create account** everywhere; Swedish was already uniform. Three outliers went: the landing's `landing.signIn` "Log in", the registration submit `kratos.1040001` "Sign up" — under a "Create account" heading, and sv-SE already said "Skapa konto" — and `oauth.logoutExpired`'s "This logout request", whose sign-in twin said "sign-in request". The first-run banner says "sign in at" too, and the admin example's email hint says "the sign-in identifier". The rule is recorded in AGENTS.md → Rules and held by the author: a unit test asserting the verb shipped first and was dropped on the maintainer's call, since a build that fails on a word removes the judgment a growing UI needs. The two e2e specs that clicked "Log in" now scope to `#main-content`, since the anonymous sidebar carries a "Sign in" link of its own.)
+- [x] 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 `<button type="button">` in the sidebar's profile menu had no handler and — zero-JS spine — could never get one; gone from `views/partials/shell.ejs` along with the `shell.profile` key in both locales. Sign out is now the menu's only item; the profile block itself (avatar, name, email) is the summary and stays. `src/ui/shell.test.ts` asserts the menu holds no dead `type="button"`, and `e2e-tests/full-flow.spec.ts` asserts Sign out is the only item once the dropdown is open.)
 - [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`.)
