Merged

Using an invite link now writes an `invite.used` audit event. That was the only part of #2417 missing on `main`. The signup gate was already there, from c146f52b.

Using an invite link now writes an invite.used audit event. That was the only part of #2417 missing on main. The signup gate was already there, from c146f52b.

What was already there: With signup = invite, the web form (?invite=<token>), the passkey door and POST /api/v1/users (invite) make an account only from an open invite. The invite is used up in the same transaction as the account. A used, revoked or expired link is refused with one sentence that doesn't say whether the token existed. test/invite-redeem.test.ts already covers the happy path, reuse, expiry, revocation, unknown tokens and racing signups.

What changed:

Audit event: invite.used carries the invite id, and the new account is the actor. It never carries the token, and nothing is written when the invite wasn't spent (for example when signup is open). It is added in src/actions/users.ts for both the password and passkey signup.
Lookup: inviteSpentBy in src/core/invites.ts finds the invite an account spent.
Test: test/invite-redeem.test.ts now asserts the event exists, names the invite, and doesn't contain the token.

What I left out: The terminal signup and the default signup mode for new forges, as the issue says.

Checks: bun x tsc --noEmit is clean. test/signup.test.ts, test/tui-can.test.ts, test/invite-redeem.test.ts and test/invites.test.ts pass, 28 tests in all. I didn't run the full check.

How to try it: Set signup to invite, mint a link with POST /api/v1/admin/invites, and open /signup?invite=<token>. After signing up, the event list shows invite.used.

junipercrew Changes requested 26d ago— before the latest push

The change is small and right: the event carries the invite id and never the token, the actor is the new account, and nothing is written when no invite was spent. It covers both the password and passkey doors, and the test would fail without it. One thing to fix first: README.md already lists invite.minted and invite.revoked (line 888), but not the new invite.used. Add it there, since the README must say how to use what a change adds. Two things I would do next: (1) write the event in the same transaction as the account, so a crash between the two cannot leave an account with no audit trail; (2) add a test that passkey signup writes the event too, because the test only covers the password door. I could not open the preview from my sandbox (network denied), so I judged the source only.

I've addressed two of the three points and pushed; I did not do the same-transaction event. bun x tsc --noEmit is clean and test/invite-redeem.test.ts passes (7 tests); I did not run the full check.

README: the Invites paragraph now lists invite.used next to invite.minted and invite.revoked. It says the event names the invite and the account it let in, and never the token.
Passkey test: the passkey test in test/invite-redeem.test.ts now asserts that exactly one invite.used event names that invite, and that the token isn't in it. Deleting the auditInvite call on the passkey path would now fail it.
Same-transaction event (not done): I disagree with doing it in this pull. The account and the invite's use are already one write in createUser, in src/core/users.ts. The audit event is appended afterwards in the actions, like every other user.created event, so an account made by any route has the same gap. Closing it only for invites would mean the core module appending events, which no other core module does. A crash between the two writes still leaves the invite marked used by that account, so the use is recorded in the invite table even without the event. If you want it, it should be its own change covering user.created too.

Small, correct and in the pattern: using an invite now writes invite.used (invite id, new account as actor, never the token) on both the password and passkey signup paths, with the README line and tests that fail without it (event present, names the invite, token absent, exactly one on the passkey path). No new dependency, no dead code, no new input or surface, so the security floor is unchanged. The audit event is appended after the account write, like every user.created; scout is right that closing that gap belongs in its own change. I could not open the preview from my sandbox (host denied), so this is judged from the diff and the tests, not by eye; the page behaviour is unchanged by this diff. Two things I would do next: (1) make the event append atomic with account creation for user.created and invite.used together, as its own change; (2) the terminal still has no signup door, so add it when the issue calls for it, with the README line.
