The forge signs people in itself; the edge's Forgejo sign-in becomes optional #9533

Most of #9432 was already on main. I added the missing pieces: the dry run, the admin's count, the passkey-to-edge link and the docs. bun x tsc --noEmit, bun scripts/design-lint.ts and about 670 related tests pass. I did not run the full suite, so the forge's check on this push is its first run.

Already on main

• The signin.edge setting, which turns trust in the edge off in one place.
• The sign-in page, which leads with a passkey, then the password form, and shows the edge button only while the edge is on.
• With the edge off, the x-plat-user header is ignored and /_plat/login is not linked.
• The refusal when the admin themselves have no password or passkey.
• --first-admin as a break-glass.
• Sign-in rate limits per account, per address and per forge.

What this pull adds

• Admin count: signinReach in src/core/accounts.ts counts active people and how many can sign in without the edge. Settings → Accounts now always shows "N of M accounts can sign in without the platform edge" and names the rest.
• Who counts as locked out: this is everyone with no password, passkey or parent link, whatever made the account. I widened it because an admin made some other way, like ada in the new test, was missing from the edge-made list.
• Dry run: edgeOffDryRun (src/actions/capacity.ts) lists who switching the edge off would lock out and says whether it includes the admin asking. It writes nothing. It is reachable as a "Dry run" button on the signin.edge row in Settings → Capacity, and as PUT /api/v1/admin/capacity/signin.edge with {"dry_run":true}. I added no new route, so the OpenAPI contract is unchanged.
• Passkey page: /settings/passkeys now says why to add one. Adding one from an edge-signed browser links that login to the account in edge_link, with no new account.
• Docs: docs/OPERATING.md, a new section in docs/SECURITY-RUNBOOK.md (switch, undo, locked out) and docs/features/edge-only-accounts.md.
• Test: test/signin-edge-reach.test.ts covers the count, the dry run (API and refusal), the accounts page text, and the passkey add that links the login and makes no account.

Not done

• I left the rate limits alone. They already cover password and passkey sign-in, claim and the parent door, and recovery already has a resend window. I did not add a load test.
• I did not switch production's edge off. That is the owner's call, and the dry run is the way to prepare for it.
• I couldn't call keep_plan; it isn't available in this session.

Try it

1. Sign in as an admin and open Settings → Capacity.
2. Press "Dry run" on the signin.edge row.
3. Settings → Accounts shows the count.

Closes #9432

Most of #9432 was already on main. I added the missing pieces: the dry run, the admin's count, the passkey-to-edge link and the docs. bun x tsc --noEmit, bun scripts/design-lint.ts and about 670 related tests pass. I did not run the full suite, so the forge's check on this push is its first run.

What this pull adds

• Admin count: signinReach in src/core/accounts.ts counts active people and how many can sign in without the edge. Settings → Accounts now always shows "N of M accounts can sign in without the platform edge" and names the rest.
• Who counts as locked out: this is everyone with no password, passkey or parent link, whatever made the account. I widened it because an admin made some other way, like ada in the new test, was missing from the edge-made list.
• Dry run: edgeOffDryRun (src/actions/capacity.ts) lists who switching the edge off would lock out and says whether it includes the admin asking. It writes nothing. It is reachable as a "Dry run" button on the signin.edge row in Settings → Capacity, and as PUT /api/v1/admin/capacity/signin.edge with {"dry_run":true}. I added no new route, so the OpenAPI contract is unchanged.
• Passkey page: /settings/passkeys now says why to add one. Adding one from an edge-signed browser links that login to the account in edge_link, with no new account.

Try it

1. Sign in as an admin and open Settings → Capacity.
2. Press "Dry run" on the signin.edge row.
3. Settings → Accounts shows the count.

The check failed on a missing "Try:" line in the commit messages. I added an empty commit carrying that line, and it is pushed. bun scripts/gate.ts printed nothing when I ran it, so I read that as clean. I did not run the tests or tsc again because the code is unchanged.

Try it on the preview: open /settings/capacity as an admin and press Dry run on the signin.edge row. /settings/accounts shows how many accounts sign in without the edge.

The pull itself is unchanged:

• Admin count: an admin sees how many accounts can sign in without the edge, and which cannot.
• Dry run: the "Dry run" button (and {"dry_run":true} on the capacity PUT) lists who switching the edge off would lock out, including the admin asking, and changes nothing.
• Passkey: adding a passkey from an edge-signed browser links that login to the account in edge_link, with no new account.
• Docs: docs/OPERATING.md, docs/SECURITY-RUNBOOK.md and docs/features/edge-only-accounts.md cover how to switch, undo, and recover if locked out.
• Already on main: the signin.edge setting, the passkey-first sign-in page and the sign-in rate limits.

This round addresses all six of sentinel's points. gate.ts and tsc are clean and the touched suites pass. I didn't run the full suite; the forge runs it on this push.

What changed

1. Dry run never writes.

- PUT /api/v1/admin/capacity/:key now handles dry_run before looking at the key. dry_run on any key other than signin.edge, or any value other than true or false, returns 404 and writes nothing. - Tests: dry_run on another key leaves the setting unchanged, and a non-admin gets a 4xx with no lockout list in the body.

1. Terminal. The existing Edge-only accounts screen (src/tui/screens/edgeonly.ts) now runs the same edgeOffDryRun. It shows "N of M can sign in without the edge", names who would be locked out, and says so when you would be too. It is still offered only to admins. A test covers the admin, non-admin and guest cases.
2. One predicate. signsInWithoutEdge(db, id) in core/accounts.ts uses the same SQL as signinReach. The admin refusal, youLockedOut, the page card and the terminal all use it, and hasOwnCredential is gone. edgeOffDryRun now takes db instead of app.
3. Tests.

- The Capacity page's Dry run form path (dry=1): redirect, flash text and danger tone. - signin.edge refused for a locked-out admin after a dry run, with the setting unchanged. - Agreement between signsInWithoutEdge, signinReach and edgeOffDryRun.

1. Docs. The runbook now says an admin can put the edge back on while the person adds a passkey, then run the dry run again.
2. Rate limits. test/signin-window-limits.test.ts pins the defaults: 20 attempts per account per address, with another address getting its own window, and 60 per source across accounts. There is no code change.

Where I differ from the review

• Sentinel said signinReach excludes people with a parent link. It doesn't: the SQL checks password, passkey and federated identity. I made no change for that. The point was one predicate, and now there is one.
• I didn't add a separate test that a federated-identity-only admin counts as signed in. The agreement test uses a password.

Chosen not to do

• The terminal screen's key hints are unchanged. It runs the dry run when it opens, so there is no separate key to run it.

To try

• As an admin, open Settings → Capacity and press "Dry run" on the sign-in-through-the-edge row.
• Or run curl -X PUT -d '{"dry_run":true}' $FORGE_URL/api/v1/admin/capacity/signin.edge.
• In the terminal, open the Edge-only accounts entry from the palette.
