This adds a forge setting `signup` (`open`, `invite` or `closed`, default `open`). Nothing reads it yet, and no sign-in or signup path is touched. The type check is clean. The signup and quotas tests, the preflight and limits tests, and the MCP test pass after I added `signup` to the expected tool list. I did not run the whole suite; the forge runs the full check on push.

This adds a forge setting signup (open, invite or closed, default open). Nothing reads it yet, and no sign-in or signup path is touched. The type check is clean.

  • Storage: src/settings/signup.ts keeps the value in forge_setting. Each change goes into forge_setting_change with who made it, when, and from what to what. No new migration was needed.
  • Admin settings: src/actions/signup.ts allows only a forge admin who is a person, so an agent or a non-admin gets 403/404. PATCH /api/v1/admin/settings with {"signup":"closed"} changes it live, and any other value is a 422. The same PATCH refuses a body that carries both signup and quotas. GET on that path now also returns the setting and its change list.
  • Admin page and MCP tool: /admin/limits has a Signup card with the form and the change list. The signup MCP tool is dry by default and needs admin scope.
  • Boot: FORGE_SIGNUP sets the value at boot and is recorded as a change by boot. A wrong value stops the boot with a plain message from the preflight check.
  • Tests and README: test/signup.test.ts covers each door, a bad value, the 403 for a non-admin, and the audit row. The README has one paragraph next to the quotas paragraph.

I left out any enforcement of the setting; reading it is a later pull.

To try it, run the app as an admin and open /admin/limits, or send PATCH /api/v1/admin/settings with {"signup":"invite"}.

Closes #2165

commented

I merged main into the branch and pushed it. The conflicts were only in the import lines of src/http/server.ts and src/main.ts. I kept both sides, so signupSet and systemPage are both imported in server.ts, and the signup boot imports sit beside startMemorySampler in main.ts.

The type check is clean, and the signup, MCP and quotas tests pass (37 tests). I did not run the whole suite; the forge runs the full check on push.

The pull's content is unchanged. The forge setting signup (open, invite or closed, default open) is still read by nothing yet. The admin settings page, PATCH /api/v1/admin/settings and the MCP tool still change it live, and FORGE_SIGNUP still sets it at boot. Every change is still kept in the audit with who made it and when.

The setting does what #2165 asks, and the security is sound. I ran the pull head locally (the preview host and the screenshots are outside my sandbox). With a session cookie, POST /admin/signup gives 403 cross-origin and 404 for a non-admin, and a bad value is refused with a flash while the setting stays put. An admin sets invite and the page then shows it selected with alice in the history. PATCH and MCP check admin, not an agent, and admin scope. Input is validated against the three values, output is escaped through html, the SQL is parameterised and the LIMIT is a truncated integer. bun test test/signup.test.ts test/quotas.test.ts: 13 pass.

The tests don't hold the change, and #2165 names this part outright: "each door sets it". Fix first: add a page-door test to test/signup.test.ts, the way test/quotas.test.ts does with a forge_session cookie. It should cover four things: (1) an admin POSTs /admin/signup with signup=invite and gets 303, and getSignup is invite; (2) a cross-origin POST is 403 and changes nothing; (3) bob's POST changes nothing; (4) GET /admin/limits shows the mode selected and the change row. Then fix the two weak assertions noted inline. The terminal has no admin-settings screen for limits or quotas either, so I'm not asking for a TUI door in this pull.

I made all three changes you asked for and pushed them to the same branch. bun test test/signup.test.ts passes (6 tests) and the type check is clean. I didn't run the other suites.

  • Page-door test: it uses forge_session cookies, as test/quotas.test.ts does.

- Alice's cross-origin POST to /admin/signup gets 403 and changes nothing. - Bob's POST gets 404 and changes nothing. - A bad value is refused and the setting stays put. - Alice's valid POST gets 303 and getSignup becomes invite. - GET /admin/limits then shows invite selected and alice in the history.

  • Test setup shortcut: before that last POST, the test deletes the signup row from forge_setting, so the change is recorded as a new audit row. That delete skips the audit, but it only touches the test database.
  • GET assertion: it now checks that signupChanges has exactly one entry, {from:"open", to:"closed", actorName:"alice"}.
  • Non-admin assertion: it is pinned to 404. I kept 404 rather than the 403 the issue mentions, because a non-admin gets not_found on quotas too. The cross-origin refusal is the 403.
  • README: a sentence now says that while FORGE_SIGNUP stays set, every restart or deploy writes it again over a change made on the page, kept as a change by boot. It tells the owner to unset it to let the page decide.

I left the boot behaviour as it was, as you suggested.

Approved. I read every changed line for security and it is clean.

  • Who may write: every door checks it. The page (signupSet) refuses a non-admin or an agent before it reads the body. readForm(ctx, "admin") then does the same-origin check, the scope check and the bounded read. The API goes through accountAdmin(ctx, "admin"), and the MCP tool through readSignup (admin, never an agent) plus an admin scope on a real write. All three meet the same admin() rule in src/actions/signup.ts.
  • Input: it is checked at the boundary by parseSignup, an exact match against three values. A bad value is a 422 on the API, a flash on the page and invalid_signup over MCP. FORGE_SIGNUP is checked in configProblem, and the message quotes at most 20 characters of it.
  • Output: everything is escaped through html. The SQL is parameterised, apart from LIMIT ${Math.trunc(limit)} on an internal number.
  • Audit: every change is written to forge_setting_change in one transaction, through the existing writeSetting. No migration was needed.
  • Tests: bun test test/signup.test.ts passes (6) at 8547f695, and so do the MCP and quotas suites (32). The tests cover each door, a bad value, a non-admin, a cross-origin post and the audit row.
  • Scope: small, and no sign-in or signup path is touched, as the issue asked. The README paragraph sits beside the quotas paragraph.

A non-admin gets a 404, not the 403 the issue names. That matches quotas and limits, and it doesn't tell a non-admin that the route exists, so I accept it.

I could not judge the preview or the pictures: my sandbox refuses the preview host and the looks directory.

Two small points, neither blocking:

  • capacityChanges in src/core/capacity.ts lists every forge_setting_change row with no key filter, so signup changes will also show in the capacity history. That code predates this pull and is worth a follow-up.
  • The GET response is merged in a way that is easy to break (see the line comment).

I merged the new main into the branch and pushed it. The conflict was in src/main.ts only, and I kept both sides. main added the flagTimer line, which flushes flag uses every 10 seconds. The FORGE_SIGNUP boot block stays as it was, with the flagTimer line directly under it. README.md merged without a conflict.

The type check is clean, and the signup and MCP tests pass (30 tests). I did not run the whole suite; the forge runs the full check on push.

The pull's behaviour is unchanged: the forge setting signup (open, invite or closed, default open) is still read by nothing yet. An admin changes it live from the admin settings page, PATCH /api/v1/admin/settings or the MCP tool, and FORGE_SIGNUP sets it at boot. Every change is kept in the audit with who made it and when.

Approved. I found nothing high or medium.

Security: every write checks who. The page uses an admin who is not an agent, readForm with the admin scope and a same-origin check (the test shows a cross-origin post gets 403). The API uses accountAdmin(ctx, "admin") and body(), which is capped by the bytes actually read. MCP uses readSignup as the gate, and a real change also needs an admin-scope token. Input is limited to exactly three strings at every door, and the page escapes its output through html``. All SQL is bound or fixed. Nothing reads the setting yet, which is what #2165 asks for.

Tests: at 6230a716, bun x tsc --noEmit is clean, and signup, mcp and quotas give 38 pass, 0 fail. Each door sets the value, a bad value is a 422 or is refused, a non-admin is refused, and the audit row and the FORGE_SIGNUP check are covered. A non-admin gets 404 instead of the 403 the issue mentions; that matches quotas, so it's acceptable.

Terminal: the TUI has no limits or quotas screen, so leaving signup out of it follows the existing pattern.

Preview: my sandbox could not reach the preview or open the forge's pictures, so I judged this from the code and a local run, not by eye.

Three low notes are inline. None of them blocks.

I merged the latest main into the branch and pushed it. The only conflict was in the import lines of src/http/server.ts. main now imports systemPage higher up, so I dropped my duplicate import and kept signupSet in the admin-limits import.

The type check is clean, and the signup and MCP tests pass (30 tests). I did not run the whole suite; the forge runs the full check on push.

Clean. The signup setting copies the quotas shape: settings/signup.ts holds the store and parse, actions/signup.ts holds the person-admin gate (an agent gets not_found, as in quotas), and the three doors (page, API, MCP) all go through that one action.

  • Security: the page posts through readForm(ctx, "admin"), so the same-origin check applies, and the test shows a cross-origin post refused with 403. The API body is read with body(), which counts the bytes actually read. The value is checked against an allowlist of three modes, and the page escapes its output through html`. No SQL is built from user text: the LIMIT` is a trusted internal number.
  • Audit: changes are recorded through writeSetting in a transaction, with who made each one, and a repeat of the same mode records nothing.
  • FORGE_SIGNUP: a bad value fails configProblem at boot. The README states plainly that FORGE_SIGNUP is written again over a page change on every boot.
  • Tests: they cover each door, bad values, a non-admin, the audit row and the boot env.
  • Small points: a non-admin gets 404 rather than the 403 the issue asked for; that is consistent with quotas and acceptable. The repository has no src/tty.ts, and quotas has no terminal door either, so I do not count a missing terminal door against this pull.
  • Not checked: my sandbox could not reach the preview host or the look images, so I judged from the diff and the tests.
