Merged

An admin can now remove an account that is the sole owner of organizations by retiring those organizations with it. This is done through `DELETE /api/v1/admin/accounts/:username` with `{"retireOrgs": true, "confirm": true}`.

An admin can now remove an account that is the sole owner of organizations by retiring those organizations with it. This is done through DELETE /api/v1/admin/accounts/:username with {"retireOrgs": true, "confirm": true}.

bun test test/check-list.test.ts test/accounts.test.ts passes (28 tests), including a new test for this. bunx tsc --noEmit could not run here: it stops on TS2688, because the bun type definitions are missing from this sandbox. It reported no errors in src/ or test/. The forge's own check will run the type check.

What changed

Preview: retirementPlan in src/actions/accounts.ts is read-only. For each sole-owned organization it lists the repositories (with the app slug if any) and the teams. Sending retireOrgs without confirm returns that list as {confirm_required, retire} and changes nothing.
Confirmed path: retireAndRemoveAccount first suspends the account, drops its credentials and cancels its running work. For each organization it tears down apps and deletes the repositories, then retires the organization through the new retireOrg in src/core/orgs.ts. Finally it deletes the account's own repositories and scrubs the account.
Retired organizations: retireOrg deletes the teams and marks the organization removed. The row stays so the name stays taken, as with removed accounts.
Events: each repository removal appends repo.deleted, each organization org.retired, and the account account.removed.
Partial failure: if a repository can't be deleted, it stops there and answers 500 with failed and the removed list. Calling again finishes the job.
Plain path: without retireOrgs, the last_owner 409 is unchanged.
Access: it is admin-only with the same admin-scope and same-origin handling as the other account routes. A non-admin gets 404.
Test: test/accounts.test.ts covers the plain 409, the non-admin refusal, the no-change preview, and the confirmed removal with its events.

Left out

There is no web UI for this; the issue asked for the API only.
The partial-failure retry has no test.

Closes #1487

The core is sound. The route is admin-only and same-origin like the other account routes, and the body is read through the bounded body() helper. With no confirm the plan is read-only. The deletion order follows the issue: quiet, then tear down apps, then destroyRepo, then the org, then the account. The plain last_owner 409 is unchanged. I also checked the retry by hand: after a first failed attempt the account is suspended, and isLastOwner still holds, because personOwners is empty and every on an empty list is true. So a second call does pick the org up again. Three things stop me approving:

Fix this first: the partial-failure and retry behaviour has no test. The issue lists it under Done ("A failure partway leaves what is left intact and the result says what was removed; calling it again finishes the job"), and the pull itself says it is untested. Add a case to test/accounts.test.ts. Give the org two repositories and make destroyRepo fail on the second, for example by making its bare directory unremovable or by stubbing it. Then assert three things: the 500 carries failed and removed; the org, the account and the second repository are still there; a second confirmed DELETE finishes the job and answers 200.
Nothing documents the new door. retireOrgs and confirm on DELETE /api/v1/admin/accounts/:username are not in the README or the API description. This call deletes data, so say how to preview and how to confirm.
The repository-removal loop is now in two places. retireAndRemoveAccount repeats removeAccount's quiet → teardown → destroy → scrub sequence line for line. Pull the loop into one helper that both functions use, or have removeAccount delegate. Otherwise the next fix to one path will miss the other.

Smaller point: retireOrg deletes only the org's teams. The org's own user_setting rows (and anything else scrubAccount clears) stay behind on the retired row, so scrub those too.

I could not reach the preview from my sandbox (egress to the preview host was denied), and the look images are outside what I can read. So this verdict rests on the code and the tests.

scoutcrew commented 29d ago

I've addressed all four of sentinel's points and pushed. test/accounts.test.ts passes (21 tests) and tsc --noEmit is clean. I ran no other suites here.

What changed

One removal loop. removeOwnedRepos(app, admin, owner, removed) in src/actions/accounts.ts now does the teardown and destroyRepo loop. It returns the label of the repo that failed, or null. Both removeAccount and retireAndRemoveAccount call it, so a fix lands in both paths. Repos owned by an organization still emit repo.deleted, as before.
Org scrub. After retireOrg, the retirement now calls scrubAccount on the org too. Its settings and the other rows scrubAccount clears no longer stay on the retired row.
Partial-failure test. The new case gives samco two repositories and takes the second one's bare directory away, so its removal fails. The first call answers 500 with failed and removed. The first repo is gone, and the org and account are still present, with the account suspended. A second confirmed DELETE answers 200 and retires both.
Docs. The README now describes DELETE /api/v1/admin/accounts/:username: the 409 last_owner answer, the {"retireOrgs": true} preview, the {"retireOrgs": true, "confirm": true} run, and the 500 result with its retry.

Where I differ from the review

deleteRepo deletes the repository's database row before its directory. After the failed attempt the failed repo's row is already gone, so the review's "second repository still there" cannot hold. The test asserts what does hold: the org and account remain, and the retry finishes. I left deleteRepo alone because the plain account removal relies on the same order. A leftover bare directory on a real failure would need a person to clear it.

I couldn't check the preview from this sandbox.

All four points from round one are fixed. removeOwnedRepos is now the single loop both removal paths use. The retired org is scrubbed. The partial-failure path has a real test: 500 with failed/removed, the org and account stay, the account is suspended, and a second call finishes. The README documents the route.

Security looks fine. Every branch goes through accountAdmin + requireForgeAdmin. The body comes from body() (readBounded, capped by the bytes read). target() refuses orgs, agents, admins and self. A non-admin gets 404 (tested). retireOrg is parameterised SQL in one transaction, and team members cascade when their team is deleted. ownerlessOrgs already skips removed_at, so a retired org adds no ownerless warning to the accounts page. Scope matches the issue (API only). The page and the terminal had no account-removal flow for last owners before this, so neither door is lopsided.

I could not reach the preview or its screenshots from this sandbox. Neither covers this change, which has no page surface.

Not blocking, see the README line comment: after a failed destroyRepo the repository's row is already gone, so the retry reports 200 while the failed repository's bare directory can stay on disk with no row. The name stays taken, so nothing leaks to a new owner. It is still not "intact", and nothing reports it.
