Release 0.15.0: Amplitude Analytics + Session Replay (with #21 Part C identity lifecycle)

Wave 5 / Track A. Roadmap item #13. Folds in #21 Part C user-identity-
lifecycle work inline rather than as a follow-up release (operator
ask: "implement Amplitude best practices from the very get-go").

Wraps @amplitude/unified with:
  - consent-gated lazy init (v0.13.0 cookie banner; SDK never loads
    without explicit analytics opt-in)
  - amplitude.initAll(KEY, { analytics: { autocapture: true },
    sessionReplay: { sampleRate: 1 } }) — vendor-recommended shape
  - identify({ user_id, properties? }) with set vs setOnce semantics
  - setUserProperties(properties) for mid-session state changes
  - anonymize() clears both user_id binding AND property cache

Wired into App.jsx (identify on me.user with role / permission_state /
passcode_set / device_trusted as set; first_sign_in_at / account_created_at
as setOnce; Page Viewed on route change; Sign-out fires User Signed
Out + anonymize), Login.jsx (User Signed In + Beta Access Requested),
and the per-feature surfaces (ProposeModal, PRModal, RFCView,
RFCDiscussionPanel, PRView, Admin).

Binding: VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY via `flotilla overlay set`
(bundle-embedded public key like VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY — not
secret). Mid-Session-L correction: original dispatch brief specified
secret-set; vendor guidance + bundle visibility settled it as overlay.

PII discipline: no email, no display_name, no gitea_login, no free-text
fields ever sent. Properties are opaque ids + enums + timestamps +
booleans only.

Subagent ξ shipped the wrapper structure + nine-event taxonomy on
feature/v0.15.0-amplitude (0fd8c52 + 6cfbf69 post-correction).
Driver-side integration extended the wrapper with setUserProperties
+ identify properties for the #21 Part C identity-lifecycle work.
Frontend build verified green.

+# Using the RFC app
+
+This is the user-facing guide to the Wiggleverse RFC framework — how to
+read what's here, propose a new RFC, contribute to one that already
+exists, and understand who is allowed to do what.
+
+This guide describes the framework. Individual deployments brand and
+configure themselves independently — the name in the header and the
+corpus the RFCs are about belong to the deployment, not to this
+document.
+
+For the *why* of the framework, read the [philosophy](/philosophy).
+For the binding technical contract, see `SPEC.md` in the repository.
+
+---
+
+## Reading without signing in
+
+You can read the catalog and every public RFC without an account.
+Anonymous visitors can:
+
+- Browse the catalog of super-drafts and active RFCs.
+- Open any RFC and read its canonical body.
+- Read any public branch — its diff and its chat thread.
+- Read any pull request — its diff, its conversation, its review
+  comments.
+- Read the discussion that has accumulated on an RFC's main view.
+
+Reading is open by design. The framework's claim is that the *argument
+behind a definition* is the evidence that the definition was earned,
+and an argument that disappears behind a sign-in wall stops carrying
+that evidence.
+
+What you cannot do without an account: chat, propose a new RFC,
+create a branch, open a PR, drop a flag, or post on a discussion
+thread. Every write affordance is replaced with a sign-in prompt.
+
+---
+
+## Signing in
+
+While the framework is in private beta, only invited email addresses
+can complete sign-in. If your email is on the allowlist, the
+"Sign in" button in the header completes the flow and lands you on
+the catalog with full read and write access. If your email is not on
+the allowlist, you'll be sent to a short "pending" page explaining
+the gate.
+
+Once you have an account, you're a **contributor** by default — the
+role that grants every write affordance the app exposes, scoped by
+the per-RFC and per-branch rules described below.
+
+---
+
+## Proposing a new RFC
+
+A new RFC begins as a proposal. The "+ Propose new RFC" button at
+the bottom of the catalog opens a small modal that collects four
+things:
+
+- **Title.** The word, concept, or topic this RFC would define.
+- **Slug.** A kebab-cased identifier derived from the title. It is
+  the entry's stable handle from this moment until it graduates;
+  collisions with existing entries or open proposals are caught
+  inline.
+- **Pitch.** One or two paragraphs answering *why this RFC is
+  needed*. This becomes the body of the entry.
+- **Tags.** Optional. The AI suggests tags from the pitch; you can
+  accept, dismiss, or type your own.
+
+Submitting the modal does one concrete thing: it opens a pull
+request against the framework's meta repository, adding one new
+file under `rfcs/`. There is no other Git artifact and no other
+side-effect. You are returned to the **pending-idea view** for the
+new proposal.
+
+A pending idea is publicly readable but not yet a super-draft. The
+catalog surfaces it in a "Pending ideas" disclosure at the bottom
+of the list. A conversation can accumulate on the pending-idea view
+before it is admitted — contributors can argue, in public, about
+whether the entry belongs in the catalog at all.
+
+Three outcomes are possible:
+
+- **Merge.** An admin or owner merges the proposal PR. The entry
+  becomes a super-draft and graduates from the "Pending ideas"
+  section into the main catalog. Any conversation that accumulated
+  on the pending-idea view migrates with it.
+- **Decline.** An admin or owner declines, attaching a written
+  comment. You see the comment on your next visit, along with a
+  one-click affordance to revise and re-propose.
+- **Withdraw.** You can withdraw your own proposal at any time. The
+  entry will not appear in any default view; the conversation that
+  accumulated stays attached to the closed PR as historical record.
+
+You are automatically the first owner of any RFC you propose. The
+claim flow described under [Roles & permissions](#roles--permissions)
+is for *other* contributors to add themselves as owners later, not
+for the proposer.
+
+---
+
+## What a super-draft is
+
+A super-draft is an entry that has been admitted to the catalog but
+does not yet have its own dedicated repository. Most of the
+argument that shapes a definition happens here. The framework
+assumes — and the philosophy explicitly invites — that many
+super-drafts will not survive the argument, and that is fine. The
+entries that do survive earn their place in the catalog by being
+defensible in public.
+
+Opening a super-draft from the catalog gives you the same surface
+an active RFC uses:
+
+- The canonical body in the centre, read-only by default.
+- A chat thread on the right where the public conversation lives.
+- A breadcrumb dropdown listing any in-flight edit branches and
+  any open body-edit PRs against this entry.
+- A "Start Contributing" affordance that cuts a fresh edit branch
+  and lands you in contribute mode.
+
+Edits to a super-draft body propagate through pull requests against
+the meta repository — there is no dedicated RFC repository yet.
+
+---
+
+## What an active RFC is
+
+An active RFC is an entry that has been **graduated**. It has its
+own dedicated repository, an integer `RFC-NNNN` identifier, and a
+canonical body file (`RFC.md`) inside that repository. The catalog
+distinguishes super-drafts and active RFCs at a glance.
+
+Opening an active RFC gives you:
+
+- `main` — the canonical body, always read-only. Changes to `main`
+  arrive exclusively through pull requests.
+- A breadcrumb listing every open branch and pull request on this
+  RFC.
+- A per-branch chat thread on the right. Each branch has its own
+  conversation, including `main` itself.
+- A "Start Contributing" affordance: on `main` it cuts a new branch
+  and lands you on it in contribute mode; on any other branch you
+  already have push access to, it flips that branch into
+  contribute mode.
+
+---
+
+## Discussion vs contribution
+
+The framework draws an explicit distinction between two surfaces
+that other tools tend to conflate:
+
+- **Discussion** is what the RFC is *for*. The chat thread on an
+  RFC's main view is the place for "what about this part?" or
+  "have we considered…?" questions that don't yet warrant proposing
+  a specific edit. Posting on a discussion thread does not create
+  any Git artifact; the conversation lives in the app database.
+- **Contribution** is how an RFC *changes*. Editing the canonical
+  body requires opening a branch and, eventually, a pull request.
+  The pull request is the place a specific proposed change is
+  reviewed and merged.
+
+Reading both surfaces is open to anonymous visitors. Posting on
+either requires a contributor account.
+
+---
+
+## Working on a branch
+
+Contribute mode flips one branch into edit-enabled. The centre
+column splits: a markdown source pane on the left, a live-rendered
+preview on the right. Fenced `mermaid` blocks render as diagrams in
+the preview.
+
+Two kinds of edits accumulate on a branch:
+
+- **AI-proposed changes.** You ask the AI a question or request a
+  revision in the branch's chat. When the AI proposes a concrete
+  edit, that edit appears as a *change card* in a panel below the
+  chat — not yet applied to the document. You can **accept**,
+  **decline**, or **edit before accepting**. Accepting produces
+  one commit on the branch with the original text, the proposed
+  text, and the AI's reason recorded in the commit body.
+- **Manual edits.** Typing directly into the source pane buffers
+  locally and flushes as a single commit on an idle window, a
+  branch switch, or an explicit "Save now" button. Manual edits
+  also appear as change cards in the same panel — same evidence
+  shape, different author.
+
+Every accepted change is one commit. The framework does not
+support squash-merges or fixup-style cleanups: the per-change
+commit granularity is the framework's evidence unit, and
+collapsing it would erase what was earned.
+
+### Discuss mode vs contribute mode
+
+A branch defaults to discuss mode — read-only, with chat enabled.
+AI proposals still appear in chat, but they are *buffered* rather
+than applied; a single CTA invites you to flip the branch into
+contribute mode if you want to act on them. The toggle is an
+*intent* affordance, not a permission one. If you don't have push
+access to the branch, the toggle is disabled with a sign-in or
+request-access path.
+
+`main` is special: contribute mode is never available there. The
+"Start Contributing" button on `main` always cuts a new branch.
+
+### Flags
+
+Anywhere you can read, you can drop a flag. A flag is the
+lightweight "I'm pointing at this, it's a problem" gesture — a
+single short declarative statement anchored to a passage. Creating
+a flag requires a contributor account but does not require push
+access to the branch: any signed-in contributor who can read a
+passage can point at it and say it's wrong.
+
+Flags don't block PR merges by design — making them a merge gate
+would re-create the failure mode where contributors hastily "resolve"
+threads to unblock a button. Flags are prominent on PR headers but
+non-blocking.
+
+### Branch visibility
+
+A new branch is publicly readable by default. The branch creator
+can flip a branch to private, in which case only the creator, any
+explicit grantees, and the RFC's per-RFC owners and arbiters can
+read it. Owners and arbiters can flip it back.
+
+**Opening a PR makes the branch fully public.** If your branch is
+currently private, the "Open PR" affordance asks you to confirm
+this before submitting. There is no concept of a private PR — the
+framework's evidence claim depends on the argument being readable.
+
+### Who can push to a branch
+
+Every branch has one of three contribute modes:
+
+- **`just-me`** (default) — only the branch creator can push.
+- **`specific`** — only the branch creator and explicitly granted
+  contributors can push.
+- **`any-contributor`** — any signed-in contributor can push.
+
+The branch creator and the RFC's per-RFC owners and arbiters can
+change this setting at any time.
+
+### Branch hygiene
+
+A branch with no associated PR auto-closes after 30 days of
+inactivity. A closed branch is deleted from the Git host 60 days
+later. Closed branches remain in the catalog under a "show closed"
+filter — closing is a state, not a censorship event. The chat
+attached to a closed or deleted branch is preserved as historical
+record.
+
+Owners and arbiters can *pin* a branch to disable the auto-close
+timer if the work is paused but legitimately ongoing.
+
+---
+
+## Opening and reviewing a pull request
+
+A pull request is the deliberate "ready for review" gesture for
+work that has accumulated on a branch. The "Open PR" affordance is
+available on any branch with at least one commit ahead of `main`.
+
+The PR creation modal collects two AI-drafted fields, both editable
+before submit:
+
+- **Title.** A one-line description of the change, in spec voice.
+- **Description.** Two to four sentences pulling from the branch
+  chat, written for an arbiter.
+
+There is no reviewer picker. The RFC's arbiters are the implicit
+reviewer set.
+
+### The PR review page
+
+The review page shows the diff, the branch's compressed chat
+(messages that produced accepted changes are expanded, the rest is
+behind a "Show full conversation" toggle), and the review-comment
+surface inline below the chat.
+
+Review comments are not a separate concept from chat — they live in
+the same thread, anchored to a range in the diff. The framework's
+claim is that the disagreement an arbiter raises about a proposed
+change is the same *kind* of thing as the disagreement that
+produced the proposed change in the first place, and the two should
+share a surface.
+
+Each PR records a per-user seen-cursor. New diff hunks and new
+conversation messages since your last visit render with a subtle
+accent. The cursor advances on view; you do not have to mark
+anything as read.
+
+### Merging a PR
+
+Per-RFC owners and arbiters can merge; app-wide admins and owners
+also retain this capability. The merge produces a no-fast-forward
+commit on `main`, preserving every per-acceptance commit as an
+individually reachable node in `main`'s history.
+
+Merge is hard-blocked **only** by Git-level conflicts with `main`.
+Open review threads, pending change-cards, unresolved chat threads,
+and open flags do not block merge by design.
+
+### Conflicts with main
+
+A conflict surfaces on the PR page as a read-only banner. A "Start
+resolution branch" affordance cuts a fresh branch off `main`'s
+current tip, replays the work into it (asking the AI to resolve
+unambiguous conflicts, surfacing the rest for you), and opens a new
+PR. The original PR auto-closes when the resolution PR merges.
+
+Fixup commits on the existing branch are not supported. Per-change
+commit granularity is the framework's evidence unit; admitting
+"fix merge conflict with main" commits would dilute it.
+
+---
+
+## Graduation: super-draft → active RFC
+
+Graduation is the moment a super-draft becomes a canonical entry
+in the catalog. It is initiated by an app-wide admin, an app-wide
+owner, or one of the RFC's per-RFC owners or arbiters from the
+super-draft's page.
+
+Two preconditions block the action:
+
+- **The super-draft must have at least one owner.** The proposer
+  is automatically the first owner; if they have stepped away, any
+  contributor can use the "Claim ownership" affordance to add
+  themselves.
+- **No open body-edit PRs against the super-draft's entry.** An
+  open body-edit PR would attempt to re-introduce a body to a
+  frontmatter-only entry after graduation runs. Merge or withdraw
+  them first.
+
+When the dialog confirms, the framework runs a transactional
+sequence: create a fresh Git repository for the RFC, seed it with
+the super-draft's body as `RFC.md`, update the meta-repo entry to
+`state: active` with the integer ID and the new repository's URL,
+auto-merge that update. If any step fails partway, the sequence
+rolls back — the half-created repository is deleted and the
+unmerged update is abandoned. The dialog shows each step in flight
+and tells you exactly what happened.
+
+The chat thread on the super-draft moves to the new repository's
+`main` chat at graduation. Edit-branch chats from the super-draft
+phase stay attached to their original branches on the meta repo
+and surface from the new RFC view under a "Pre-graduation history"
+section.
+
+Graduation is not reversible. The path forward from an active RFC
+is withdrawal, not back to super-draft.
+
+---
+
+## Withdrawing and reopening
+
+An active RFC or a super-draft can be withdrawn by the proposer
+(for a super-draft they proposed) or by an admin or owner. A
+withdrawn entry stays in the catalog as a historical record but is
+hidden from default views. The entry is filterable back in.
+
+An admin or owner can reopen a withdrawn entry back into the
+super-draft state. The history is preserved across the transition.
+
+---
+
+## AI in the chat
+
+The chat on every RFC, super-draft, branch, and PR has an AI
+participant by default. The framework treats the AI as one voice
+among many in a public argument — not an oracle, and not a
+co-author whose name lands on commits.
+
+You invoke the AI by writing into the chat composer and submitting.
+Each message can pick a model from the picker (the option list is
+configurable per RFC). The AI responds in the chat; when its
+response includes a concrete change to the document, that change
+appears as a card you can accept, decline, or edit.
+
+When you accept an AI's proposed change, the commit's
+`On-behalf-of:` trailer names *you*, not the AI. The AI's authorship
+survives only as evidence — the original proposal in the commit body
+and the message that produced it in the chat record. The framework
+is explicit about this: AI participation produces evidence; it does
+not produce authorship.
+
+Two configuration knobs scope AI participation per RFC:
+
+- **Which models are available.** The meta-repo entry's frontmatter
+  carries an optional `models:` list. Absent means the RFC inherits
+  whatever models the deployment is provisioned to run. An empty
+  list (`models: []`) opts the RFC out of AI entirely — every AI
+  surface is absent rather than disabled-but-present.
+- **Whose credentials pay.** By default the deployment operator's
+  API credentials cover AI calls on every RFC. A `funder:`
+  frontmatter field can name a single contributor whose registered
+  credentials pay for AI calls on this RFC instead. The named
+  contributor must explicitly consent from their settings page;
+  either side can revoke at any time.
+
+Per-RFC AI configuration is edited through the meta-repo PR flow
+that governs the rest of the entry's frontmatter — by the RFC's
+per-RFC owners and arbiters, or by app-wide admins or owners.
+
+---
+
+## Notifications
+
+The framework's public-async work model produces signals that
+shouldn't all reach you the same way. Five surfaces compose:
+
+- **In-app inbox.** The durable triage surface. One mental space
+  across every RFC you have any relationship to, with per-RFC and
+  per-category filters. Reachable from the inbox icon in the
+  header.
+- **Badges.** Ambient pull-ins. A single integer beside the inbox
+  icon (count of unread notifications). A small binary dot on
+  individual catalog rows for watched RFCs with unseen activity.
+  No per-row counts and no per-section counts.
+- **Toasts.** Transient mid-session signals. Used only for your own
+  actions completing, and for events arriving on the view you're
+  currently looking at.
+- **Email.** The single channel that escapes the app. Opt-in per
+  category, conservative defaults. One-click unsubscribe per
+  category.
+- **Digest.** Aggregation for activity on watched RFCs you haven't
+  triaged through any other channel.
+
+### Watch states
+
+Every RFC has one of three implicit relationship states for you:
+
+- **Watching.** You receive structural signals for the RFC.
+- **Following.** You receive only churn-grade signals (new
+  commits, new chat messages on threads you didn't participate
+  in). This is a lighter relationship than watching.
+- **Muted.** You receive no signals for the RFC. The mute is
+  per-RFC and self-imposed; it does not affect what others see
+  or what reaches you on *other* RFCs.
+
+Watch states transition automatically based on your participation,
+with explicit overrides available from each RFC's header and from
+the notification settings page.
+
+### Email categories
+
+Four categories with distinct defaults:
+
+- **Personal-direct events** — default on. Signals where you are
+  the named subject. The contract is that when your name is on the
+  action, the framework reaches out of band.
+- **Watched-RFC structural events** — default off. PR opened on a
+  watched RFC, PR merged, graduation, withdrawal. Inbox and badges
+  carry these by default; the email toggle is opt-in.
+- **Watched-RFC churn** — permanently off, by design. Per-commit
+  and per-message email is intentionally not offered. The digest
+  aggregates this activity weekly.
+- **Admin-actionable events** — default on for admins and owners,
+  unused for contributors.
+
+### Quiet hours
+
+You can set a daily window during which email notifications are
+held. Messages held during the window are released at window end —
+bundled into a single "Activity while you were away" email if a
+threshold accumulated, otherwise sent individually.
+
+---
+
+## Roles & permissions
+
+Authorization in this framework is owned by the app itself, not by
+the Git host. The Git host sees only a single bot account — every
+commit, every PR, every merge passes through it on a user's behalf
+— and the *app* decides which users are authorized to ask the bot
+to do which things.
+
+### The four app-wide roles
+
+Each role is a strict superset of the one below it.
+
+1. **Anonymous.** Anyone who has not signed in. Can read public
+   RFCs, public branches, and public PRs; cannot chat, propose,
+   create branches, or open PRs.
+
+2. **Contributor.** The default role for any authenticated
+   account. Adds everything anonymous can do, plus: propose new
+   RFCs, create branches on any RFC repository, open PRs from
+   branches they have push access to, post on chat anywhere they
+   can read, claim ownership of unclaimed super-drafts.
+
+3. **Admin.** Adds the ability to act on any RFC, anywhere in the
+   framework. Concretely: merge any PR on any RFC, graduate any
+   super-draft, set branch visibility on anyone's behalf, withdraw
+   or reopen any entry, write-mute or restore any contributor,
+   grant or revoke the **admin** role.
+
+4. **Owner.** Adds two capabilities admin does not have: grant or
+   revoke the **owner** role itself, and disable an account
+   entirely. The framework names a single "owner zero" at
+   bootstrap.
+
+The practical difference between admin and owner is narrow but
+load-bearing: admin is the operational tier — it does the day-to-
+day moderation and stewardship work; owner is the tier that
+controls the admin tier. Disabling an account and creating other
+owners are owner-only because they affect the framework's chain of
+authority itself.
+
+The app refuses to let the last owner demote themselves silently —
+losing the last owner would leave nobody able to grant the role
+back. Role changes are recorded in an append-only `permission_events`
+log; an admin's own admin/users page shows the log of who promoted,
+demoted, or muted whom.
+
+### Per-RFC delegated authority
+
+The four roles above are framework-wide. Within an individual RFC,
+the meta-repo entry's frontmatter names two additional groups:
+
+- **`owners:`** — contributors elevated for this RFC. They can
+  grant push access on any branch in the RFC, merge any PR on the
+  RFC, change branch visibility, and withdraw the RFC.
+- **`arbiters:`** — contributors with merge authority for this RFC.
+  Functionally similar to per-RFC owners for merge decisions; the
+  distinction matters in some configuration paths.
+
+Per-RFC owners and arbiters are **not** app-wide admins. Their
+elevated powers are scoped strictly to the RFC named in the
+frontmatter. This is what lets the framework distribute work
+without putting one person on the hook for every action.
+
+The proposer of an RFC is automatically the first per-RFC owner.
+Additional per-RFC owners are added through a "Claim ownership"
+PR against the meta repository; app-wide admins or owners merge
+it.
+
+### Per-branch contribute grants
+
+Within an RFC, the branch creator and the RFC's per-RFC owners
+and arbiters can grant push access to specific contributors on a
+specific branch — `specific` contribute mode, described under
+"Working on a branch."
+
+### The write-mute
+
+An app-wide admin or owner can **mute** a contributor. A muted
+account retains read access and keeps its existing branches, but
+cannot create new branches, open new PRs, propose new RFCs, or
+post chat. This is a moderation tool, distinct from removing the
+account; restoring is the reverse gesture.
+
+The write-mute applies only to contributors. Promoting a user to
+admin or owner is the way to remove a user's write-restriction in
+the structural sense; the write-mute is for *retaining* an account
+while removing its ability to act.
+
+Every mute and every restore is recorded in `permission_events`.
+
+### Three different "mutes"
+
+The word "mute" appears in three structurally distinct places.
+They share a word and nothing else.
+
+- **Write-mute.** Admin-imposed. Removes a contributor's ability
+  to post or push. Described above.
+- **Per-RFC notification mute.** Self-imposed. Sets your watch
+  state on a specific RFC to *muted* — you stop receiving signals
+  for that RFC, in inbox, badges, and email. Does not affect what
+  others see.
+- **Per-user notification mute.** Self-imposed. Suppresses
+  notifications produced by a specific other user, anywhere in
+  the framework. Notification-volume only — it does not affect
+  what you can read.
+
+A write-muted contributor continues to receive notifications
+normally, so they can triage what they can't act on, and so a
+restore lands cleanly.
+
+### Audit trail
+
+Every gesture that changes app state — role changes, mutes,
+graduations, withdrawals, grant changes — is recorded in
+append-only logs the app maintains. Git commit history is for
+code archaeology; the app's audit log is the accountability
+record. An admin's page surfaces both `permission_events` (the
+role/mute log) and `actions` (the state-transition log) for
+review.
+
+---
+
+## Where to learn more
+
+- The framework's *why* lives in [the philosophy
+  document](/philosophy).
+- The binding technical contract — section numbers (`§n.n`)
+  referenced throughout this guide — is in `SPEC.md` in the
+  framework's source repository.
+- Deployment operators have their own recipe in
+  `docs/DEPLOYMENTS.md`.

 Authorization is owned by the app. Gitea sees only the bot account.
 
+Authentication has three paths, in the order a visitor encounters
+them:
+
+1. **Email + one-time code (OTC).** The v0.7.0 primary path: a
+   visitor enters their email address, receives a six-digit code via
+   SMTP, and exchanges the code for a session. Used by every visitor
+   on first sign-in, and as the fallback for the other two paths.
+2. **Email + passcode (with OTC fallback).** Added in v0.10.0
+   (roadmap item #8). After a successful OTC sign-in, the visitor
+   may set a user-chosen passcode (4–20 characters, bcrypt-hashed at
+   rest) and use email + passcode on subsequent sign-ins. Five
+   consecutive failed verifies lock the passcode path for 15 minutes
+   (HTTP 423); during the lockout the user falls back to OTC. The
+   OTC path is unaffected by the passcode lockout, so a forgotten
+   passcode is recovered by requesting a fresh OTC — there is no
+   separate "forgot passcode" flow. The user can remove the passcode
+   at any time from the §6.2 sign-in settings tab, returning to
+   OTC-only.
+3. **Device trust (cookie-only, 30 days).** Added in v0.11.0
+   (roadmap item #9). After a successful OTC or passcode sign-in,
+   the visitor may check "trust this device for 30 days." The
+   framework then mints a server-issued opaque token, hashes it
+   (bcrypt) into the `device_trust` table, and sets a long-lived
+   HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite=Lax cookie carrying the raw token.
+   On a subsequent visit, `POST /auth/device-trust/start` resolves
+   the cookie and re-establishes the session without an OTC /
+   passcode roundtrip. The user can list and revoke their trusted
+   devices from the `/settings/notifications` "Trusted devices"
+   section; a revoked or expired cookie is cleared on the next
+   request. The cookie is "essential" per §14.5 — it is part of
+   authentication, not analytics, and is set regardless of the
+   user's analytics / other-cookies choice. The raw token only
+   ever lives in the outbound `Set-Cookie` header and the inbound
+   `Cookie` header; server-side storage is the hash, with
+   constant-time comparison on lookup.
+4. **Gitea OAuth fallback (migration only).** The v0.1 OAuth
+   callback remains functional during the v0.7.0 window, with a
+   small "Sign in with Gitea (fallback)" link on `/login` so users
+   with active OAuth sessions or older invite paths still have a
+   way in. Scheduled for removal in a future release per §19.2.
+
+`users.gitea_id` is preserved on existing rows so a grandfathered
+user signing in via any of the three paths resolves to the same row.
+`users.email` is the identity key for everything provisioned after
+v0.7.0; `users.gitea_id` is the grandfathering linker (nullable,
+partial-unique). The Gitea bot user + token are still required for
+server-side git operations (repo reads, PR creation); only the
+operator-facing sign-in surface moved.
+
+Admission, as of v0.8.0, is by admin grant. v0.7.0 carried the
+v0.3.0 `allowed_emails` table forward as the admission gate at the
+OTC request surface — emails not on the list got a silent drop.
+v0.8.0 (roadmap item #6) reverses that: any valid email receives an
+OTC, the fresh `users` row lands in `permission_state='pending'`,
+and an admin grant flips the column to `'granted'` before write
+endpoints accept the user. The capture-fields step (first name,
+last name, free-text "why I should be included in the beta") feeds
+the admin's triage queue. The `allowed_emails` table stays in the
+schema as a fast-path bypass — the v0.3.0 admin UI still manages
+it — but the OTC request path no longer consults it. v0.9.0
+(roadmap item #7) shipped the user-management surface that
+consumes the `permission_state` column: `/admin/users` carries
+every user with their state, profile, and sign-up reason, plus
+Grant / Revoke controls that flip the column and write a
+`permission_events` audit row. The capture-form submission also
+fans a `new_beta_request` notification out to every admin/owner
+through the §15 substrate, so the queue surfaces in the inbox +
+email channels admins already have.
+
+The `/admin/allowlist` sub-tab stays in place alongside
+`/admin/users` rather than merging: the two surfaces have
+different keys (allowlist by email pre-sign-up, user list by
+user_id post-sign-up) and a union row would be confusing rather
+than clarifying. The allowlist's role narrowed to "fast-path
+bypass for known-good emails" with the v0.8.0 admission shift;
+v0.9.0 retains that role unchanged.

+   open PRs. v0.6.0 (roadmap item #4) closed the audit: every
+   write-shaped endpoint surveyed in §17 enforces an explicit
+   `auth.require_contributor` (or stricter) gate before doing any
+   state-changing work; anonymous writes refuse 401. The explicit
+   audit covers propose, branch create, branch threads, PR-less
+   discussion threads + messages, PR open / merge / withdraw,
+   funder credentials + consent, admin allowlist add, graduation
+   kickoff + claim. Anonymous reads on every catalog and RFC-body
+   surface remain open per the v0.3.0 contract.
+2. **Contributor.** Default role for any authenticated account. A
+   first OTC sign-in by a previously unknown email provisions a row
+   at this role; v0.8.0 replaced the v0.3.0 / v0.7.0 allowlist gate
+   with an admin-grant flow (roadmap item #6, see opening of §6).
+   The contributor capabilities below — propose, branch, PR, chat,
+   claim — are gated by `users.permission_state='granted'` as well
+   as by the role. A pending contributor (the post-OTC waiting

+
+`/login` itself is a stepped surface, driven by which auth path the

+
+1. **Email step.** The viewer enters their email. The frontend
+   consults `GET /auth/passcode/check?email=…` to learn whether
+   this email has a passcode set. The check endpoint is
+   account-enumeration-safe — it returns `has_passcode: false` for
+   both "unknown email" and "known email without passcode", so a
+   probing client cannot distinguish the two from the response.
+2. **Either the passcode step or the OTC code step.** If the email
+   has a passcode set, the viewer is asked for it (v0.10.0).
+   Otherwise an OTC is dispatched and the viewer is asked for the
+   six-digit code from their email (v0.7.0).
+3. **Optional post-OTC passcode-offer step.** After a successful
+   OTC verify on an account with no passcode set, the surface
+   asks "Set a passcode for faster sign-in next time?" — the user
+   can dismiss the offer or set one inline. The skip-for-now path
+   redirects straight to `/`.
+
+The passcode step carries a "Use a code instead" link that
+re-dispatches an OTC and switches to the code step — the same path
+the lockout response (HTTP 423) takes automatically after five
+consecutive failed passcode verifies.
 
 This is the front door. It sets expectation before the user encounters

+### 14.5 Cookie / privacy consent (v0.13.0)
+
+The framework ships a non-modal cookie consent banner reachable by
+every viewer — authenticated and anonymous alike. The banner appears
+at the bottom of the viewport on first load and stays visible until
+the user makes a choice, after which it hides and the choice is
+persisted. The `/settings/notifications` page carries a "Privacy &
+cookies" tab that surfaces the current choice and re-opens the banner
+on demand.
+
+The choice has three categories, presented as a single-select:
+
+- **Essential only** — the framework's strictly-necessary cookies
+  (sign-in session, signed payloads, the consent-choice record
+  itself). Always on; the user cannot switch this off because the
+  app cannot function without it.
+- **Essential + analytics** — adds the optional analytics layer
+  gated by this choice. As of v0.13.0 no analytics SDK ships in the
+  framework; roadmap item #13 (v0.15.0) lands one behind this gate.
+  Off by default — the user has to opt in.
+- **Essential + analytics + other** — adds third-party embeds or
+  social widgets a deployment may configure. The framework ships no
+  such cookies by default; this category exists so deployments that
+  add them have a categorized opt-in to wire them behind.
+
+Storage shape:
+
+- **Anonymous viewer** — choice persists in `localStorage` only
+  (`rfc-app.cookie-consent.v1`). The same browser carries the choice
+  forward; a different browser, or cleared storage, re-prompts.
+- **Authenticated viewer** — choice persists in the `cookie_consent`
+  row keyed by `user_id`. On sign-in, the server row (if present)
+  overrides the local snapshot; if the server has no row, the local
+  choice is uploaded.
+
+The `essential` flag is permanently true at the API surface. The
+endpoint accepts it for symmetry but never persists a false value.
+A deployment that wants strictly-necessary cookies to be optional
+must change the framework contract, not flip a flag.
+
+The framework exports a small JavaScript helper (`frontend/src/lib/
+consent.js`) for downstream surfaces:
+
+- `getConsent()` — current snapshot.
+- `hasChosen()` — true once the user has made a choice.
+- `onConsentChange(cb)` — subscribe to updates.
+- `setConsent({analytics, other})` — record a new choice locally
+  (the banner / settings surface handles server persistence on top).
+
+Roadmap item #13's analytics SDK (v0.15.0) will read from this helper:
+read consent, then conditionally `import()` the SDK module. The gate
+is wired before the SDK lands so the contract is already in place.
+
+### 14.6 Privacy and cookies policy pages
+
+The framework ships two policy routes:
+
+- `/privacy` — a minimal default privacy policy that describes the
+  framework's stance (what is stored, why, how to revoke consent,
+  how to reach the deployment operator). The page is reachable by
+  anonymous and authenticated viewers alike.
+- `/cookies` — the framework's cookies policy, listing exactly which
+  cookies the framework sets, by category. Self-documenting: a future
+  framework release that adds or removes a cookie updates this page
+  as part of the change.
+
+Each page links to the other and to the §14.5 banner. The consent
+banner links to both.
+
+Deployments override the policy content via two optional build-time
+env vars documented in `frontend/.env.example`:
+
+- `VITE_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL` — an http(s) URL the `/privacy` page
+  links to as the "full deployment policy". The framework's stub
+  always renders above the link so the framework-level contract is
+  always visible; the link layers deployment-specific content on
+  top.
+- `VITE_COOKIES_POLICY_URL` — same shape for `/cookies`.
+
+Both are optional. Unset is the supported default; the stub pages are
+sufficient for a default-config deployment that has nothing
+deployment-specific to add. The framework chose the env-var path over
+a content-repo file because it composes with the existing build-time
+config layer; the content-repo-file alternative is the §19.2
+candidate.

+  increments `passcode_failed_attempts`. After five consecutive
+  failures, stamps `passcode_locked_until = now + 15 minutes` and
+  returns HTTP 423 with a `locked_until` field; subsequent attempts
+  inside the window are refused with the same shape. After the
+  window expires, the next attempt clears the counter and proceeds
+  normally. The OTC path (§17 above) is unaffected by the passcode
+  lockout — a locked-out user can still request and verify a fresh
+  OTC. The wrong-passcode and unknown-email failure modes both

+
+Candidates surfaced during v0.8.0 (open beta-access request flow,
+§6.1 / §14.1, item #6):
+
+- **Admin user-management page** (`/admin/users`). *Shipped in
+  v0.9.0 (roadmap item #7).* The listing surfaces every user with
+  permission_state, profile fields, sign-up reason, and a Grant /
+  Revoke control set; the `POST /api/admin/users/<id>/permission`
+  endpoint flips the column and writes a `permission_events` row.
+  v0.9.0 left the `/admin/allowlist` sub-tab in place rather than
+  merging (see allowlist deprecation below). The grant/revoke
+  notify-the-user surface is deferred (see the new candidate
+  below).
+- **Allowlist deprecation.** *Decision deferred past v0.9.0.*
+  v0.9.0 considered merging `/admin/allowlist` into the new
+  `/admin/users` page but kept the surface as a sibling sub-tab:
+  the two have different keys (allowlist by email pre-sign-up,
+  user list by user_id post-sign-up) and a union row would be
+  confusing rather than clarifying. The fast-path-bypass role
+  the allowlist has carried since v0.8.0 stays intact; the
+  cutover to retire the table outright is a later session.
+  Decision points unchanged from v0.8.0: drop the table outright
+  (a schema migration) or leave it as a non-functional surface
+  and remove only the UI (a frontend-only change); how to handle
+  existing `allowed_emails` rows at the cutover (probably: walk
+  them into the pending queue with `permission_state='granted'`
+  for any matching `users` row, leave unmatched rows as a no-op
+  since v0.8.0 doesn't consult them anymore). Earns its session
+  once the v0.9.0 admin queue has run long enough to confirm the
+  allowlist's bypass role is no longer pulling weight.
+- **Admin notification on new beta request.** *Shipped in v0.9.0
+  (roadmap item #7).* The `POST /api/auth/me/beta-request`
+  handler now calls `notify.fan_out_new_beta_request`, which
+  fans a `new_beta_request` event (category `admin-actionable`,
+  rfc_slug NULL) out to every owner / admin. The §15 chokepoint
+  handles the SSE broadcast and the §15.4 email dispatch; the
+  email reaches only recipients whose `email_admin_actionable`
+  toggle is on (the default for owners + admins).
+- **Grant / revoke notification to the user.** *Surfaced by
+  v0.9.0.* The new flip endpoint stamps `permission_decided_by` +
+  writes a `permission_events` row but does not yet signal the
+  affected user that their state changed. A future release could
+  fire a `personal-direct` notification (event_kind
+  `permission_change_affecting_me`, already in the §15.1 enum) so
+  a granted user sees "Your beta-access request was approved" in
+  their inbox and email, and a revoked user sees a parallel
+  refusal notice. Decision points: does revocation include a
+  reason field (probably yes — symmetric with §9.3's decline
+  comment); does grant carry a welcome message (probably no —
+  the existing welcome surfaces are sufficient); does the
+  notification escape the §15.8 mute path (probably yes — it's
+  a personal-direct admission state change). Earns its session
+  as a follow-up to the v0.9.0 page.
+- **Decline-with-reason on permission revoke.** *Surfaced by
+  v0.9.0.* The current Revoke gesture takes only a confirmation;
+  there is no audit-visible reason captured. A future release
+  could add a free-text reason input that lands in the
+  `permission_events.details` JSON column (no schema change
+  needed — the column is already JSON-shaped). This is the
+  symmetric companion to the §9.3 proposal-decline contract.
+  Earns its session alongside the grant/revoke notification
+  candidate above.
+- **Removing the Gitea OAuth fallback.** *Surfaced by v0.7.0.*
+  v0.7.0 keeps `/auth/callback` functional and links to it as a
+  "Sign in with Gitea (fallback)" affordance on the new `/login`
+  surface, so users with active OAuth sessions or older invite
+  paths still have a way in during the migration window. A later
+  release retires the route entirely. Decision points: how do we
+  know "every active user has signed in via OTC at least once"
+  (probably: a `users.otc_first_signed_in_at` timestamp added in
+  v0.7.x and a query that confirms 100% population), how do we
+  handle users who never come back (probably: silently leave them
+  with stale rows; OAuth callback returning 404 is a sufficient
+  message), and whether the `/auth/login` and `/auth/callback`
+  routes get a tombstone redirect to `/login` or just 404. Earns
+  its session once the OTC adoption curve flattens.
+- **Device trust (30-day skip).** *Settled in v0.11.0 (roadmap
+  item #9). The shape: a distinct `rfc_device_trust` cookie
+  (HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite=Lax + 30-day Max-Age) carrying a
+  server-issued opaque token, keyed against a `device_trust` table
+  whose rows store the bcrypt hash. `POST /auth/device-trust/start`
+  resolves a presented cookie at next visit. A
+  `/settings/notifications` "Trusted devices" section lists active
+  rows with per-row + bulk revoke. The trust outlives a sign-out
+  (sign-out clears the session cookie, not the device-trust
+  cookie) and is not affected by passcode set/change/clear — the
+  next two items below carry the remaining open questions.*
+- **Cross-device session revocation surface.** v0.11.0's
+  `/settings/notifications → Trusted devices` revokes the
+  long-lived device-trust grants. What it does NOT revoke is an
+  active session cookie sitting in another browser, or the
+  v0.10.0 passcode-failure-counter shape, or a stale
+  password-equivalent that some future release ships. The natural
+  next step is a single "active sessions and devices" surface
+  that lists everything currently authenticating as this user —
+  device-trust rows + active session cookies (if/when the
+  framework moves to server-side sessions) + future credential
+  shapes — and lets the user kill any of them with one gesture.
+  Earns its session when a second cross-cutting concern lands
+  (the most likely first trigger: future Yubikey / WebAuthn
+  support, which surfaces another credential to revoke).
+- **Password-equivalent change invalidates device trust.** v0.11.0
+  intentionally leaves device-trust rows live across a passcode
+  set / change / clear. The argument is structural: the user has
+  the v0.10.0 lockout, the v0.11.0 per-device revoke list, and a
+  fresh sign-in path via OTC, so the cookie is not a high-value
+  bypass relative to the keys-to-the-account a passcode change
+  signals. The argument against is the conventional "changing a
+  password should kill every active session" expectation users
+  bring from other systems. This earns its own session once the
+  evidence is in: either a security-review finding that says
+  "this is the wrong default," or user feedback that says "I
+  expected my old laptop to sign out when I changed my passcode."
+- **Device-trust window tunables via env.** v0.11.0 hard-codes
+  the 30-day window in `backend/app/device_trust.py`
+  (`TRUST_DURATION_DAYS = 30`). Surfacing it as an env var
+  (`DEVICE_TRUST_DURATION_DAYS`?) is small and obvious; deferring
+  follows the same pattern as the v0.10.0 passcode-lockout
+  hard-coding — name the tunable when a deployment wants it
+  different rather than shipping a knob that has no operator
+  asking for it.
+- **Cloudflare Turnstile on `/auth/otc/request`.** *Settled in
+  v0.12.0 (roadmap item #10).* The OTC request endpoint is now
+  gated behind a Turnstile siteverify call: the frontend renders
+  the official widget on the `/login` email-entry step (and on the
+  passcode step for the "Use a code instead" fallback dispatch),
+  the captured token rides in the request body as
+  `turnstile_token`, and the backend POSTs `secret` + `response`
+  to `challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify` before
+  the bcrypt hash + SMTP send. The widget renders only on the
+  email-entry / passcode-fallback dispatch points — the OTC
+  verify step is bottlenecked on email delivery and protected by
+  the five-minute TTL + single-use row consume, so a second
+  challenge there would double the rate budget against the same
+  abuse path without measurably more protection (revisit if bots
+  adapt to the email-entry challenge specifically). Configured
+  via `CLOUDFLARE_TURNSTILE_SECRET` (Secret Manager) and
+  `VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY` (frontend build-time overlay); a
+  third var `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED` (default `false`) lets the
+  operator flip from "soft-fail when secret unset" (the dev /
+  pre-rollout shape) to "fail-closed when secret unset" (HTTP 500
+  "auth misconfigured", the production-locked shape). Tests mock
+  the siteverify HTTP call at the `httpx.post` boundary in
+  `app.turnstile`. The hCaptcha / reCAPTCHA alternatives noted in
+  the v0.7.0 surfacing are still viable substitutes for a future
+  deployment that wants them but the framework's tested path is
+  Turnstile.
+
+Candidates surfaced during v0.10.0 (user-set passcodes, §6.2 /
+roadmap item #8):
+
+- **Passcode policy tunables via env.** v0.10.0 hard-codes the
+  lockout shape (5 consecutive failures → 15-minute lockout) and
+  the min/max passcode length (4 / 20) in
+  `backend/app/passcode.py`. The denylist of obvious patterns is
+  also hard-coded. A deployment that wants tighter or looser rules
+  has to fork the constants. Two env vars
+  (`PASSCODE_LOCKOUT_AFTER_ATTEMPTS`,
+  `PASSCODE_LOCKOUT_DURATION_MINUTES`) would let operators
+  reshape the lockout without forking; a third
+  (`PASSCODE_MIN_LENGTH`) would cover the length floor. Earns its
+  session if a deployment surfaces evidence that the v1 defaults
+  bite.
+- **Per-IP rate-limiting on `/auth/passcode/verify`.** v0.10.0's
+  lockout is per-account: 5 failures against the same email lock
+  that account for 15 minutes. A distributed attacker that knows
+  many emails can fan out across them without ever tripping any
+  one account's lockout. Adding a per-IP throttle (e.g., 30
+  passcode-verify attempts / minute / IP, returning HTTP 429) is
+  the natural pairing. Defer-able — the per-account lockout is
+  the v1 shape that closes the loud-loop case; the per-IP
+  distributed case waits on evidence. Touches §6.2 and §17.
+- **Passcode-change "still know your old passcode" challenge.**
+  v0.10.0 lets a signed-in user replace their passcode from
+  `/settings/notifications` without re-entering the old one — the
+  session is sufficient. A future hardening pass may require the
+  old passcode (or a fresh OTC verify) before accepting the
+  change, to mitigate session-hijack scenarios where the attacker
+  rotates the passcode to lock the legitimate owner out. The same
+  question applies to the clear gesture. Earns its session if
+  session-hijack becomes a real threat surface.
+- **Passkey / WebAuthn.** A much heavier next step than passcodes:
+  hardware-backed device credentials that resist phishing. The
+  v0.10.0 passcode shape is a stopgap for the "I'd rather not
+  type a code every time" ergonomic problem; passkeys are the
+  long-term answer. Out of scope for the current roadmap —
+  earns a dedicated session if/when the deployment grows enough
+  that the phishing surface justifies the integration cost.
+
+Candidates surfaced during v0.13.0 (cookie / privacy consent, §14.5
+and §14.6):
+
+- **Policy content via content-repo file vs env var.** v0.13.0
+  shipped the deployment-policy-override path as two env vars
+  (`VITE_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL`, `VITE_COOKIES_POLICY_URL`) that the
+  framework's stub pages link out to. The alternative — accepting
+  a markdown file path the framework renders inline, parallel to
+  `PHILOSOPHY_PATH` per §14.2 — was deferred. The two compose:
+  a deployment could carry both an inline file (rendered above
+  the fold) and an external link (rendered below). Earns its own
+  topic when a real deployment ships a policy long enough that
+  the link-out shape bites and renders the link unread.
+- **Global Privacy Control / Do-Not-Track headers.** v0.13.0
+  scoped the consent surface to the in-app banner and did not
+  honor browser-side GPC or DNT signals. The framework's stance
+  is that the in-app banner is the authoritative gesture — a
+  user who clears their consent in the banner has expressed
+  intent, and the GPC header is a coarser signal layered on top.
+  Earns its own topic if a regulatory regime emerges that treats
+  GPC as the legally-binding gesture, in which case the framework
+  would honor GPC as an automatic "essential only" choice unless
+  the user explicitly broadened it in-app.
+- **Multi-language consent text.** The banner ships English-only.
+  i18n of the framework's user-facing strings is a broader topic
+  than the consent banner; carrying the work in that future topic
+  rather than as a per-surface translation pass.
+- **Analytics SDK gating against `consent.js`.** Roadmap item #13
+  (target v0.15.0) lands the analytics SDK behind
+  `lib/consent.js`'s `getConsent().analytics` gate. The framework
+  contract is already in place; the SDK integration is the work
+  the item ships. Listed here so the dependency is documented.

+"""§6.2 / v0.11.0: trust device for 30 days (roadmap item #9).
+
+After a successful OTC or passcode sign-in, a contributor may check
+"trust this device for 30 days." The framework then issues a
+server-issued opaque token, hashes it (bcrypt) for storage in the
+`device_trust` table, and sets a long-lived cookie carrying the raw
+token. On a subsequent visit, the cookie is presented at
+`/auth/device-trust/start`; if a non-expired, non-revoked row matches,
+the session is re-established without another OTC / passcode round
+trip.
+
+The shape:
+
+  * `issue(user_id, user_agent)` — mint a fresh CSPRNG token, hash it,
+    insert a row, and return the raw token + row id so the endpoint
+    can set the cookie. The 30-day expiry is the only knob; the
+    `revoked_at` column stays NULL.
+  * `lookup(raw_token)` — walk the user's active rows (the unique
+    index keys on the hash, so we read a small candidate set), check
+    the bcrypt hash in constant time, drop any row whose `expires_at`
+    has passed or whose `revoked_at` is non-NULL, and return the
+    matched row or None. On a hit, refresh `last_seen_at`.
+  * `list_for_user(user_id)` — return the active rows for the
+    /settings/devices surface. Revoked + expired rows are filtered out
+    so the surface only shows live trust grants.
+  * `revoke(user_id, row_id)` — stamp `revoked_at` on the row. The
+    next lookup refuses the cookie token (the row is dead).
+  * `revoke_all(user_id)` — bulk-revoke every active row for the user.
+    The /settings/devices surface's "revoke all" button calls this.
+
+Cookie shape: `rfc_device_trust`. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax,
+Max-Age=2592000 (30 days), Path=/. The cookie value is the raw token;
+server-side storage is the hash. The cookie is "essential" per the
+v0.13.0 cookie-consent banner (it is part of authentication, not
+analytics), so the framework sets it regardless of analytics /
+other-cookies choices.
+
+Constant-time comparison: bcrypt's `checkpw` is already constant-time
+over the hash bytes. We walk the candidate set linearly with `_check`
+which delegates to `bcrypt.checkpw`; no early-exit shortcut leaks
+which row was the match.
+
+The raw token never appears in a log line or an exception message;
+the helpers carry the token only as a parameter and forget it after
+hashing.
+
+The cookie sits orthogonal to the §6.1 `permission_state` gate: a
+revoked or pending user with a valid device-trust cookie still
+re-establishes their session (the cookie identifies the user, not
+their admission state), and the existing `require_contributor` /
+`require_admin` dependencies in `auth.py` continue to refuse the
+unrelated write surfaces.

+"""Outbound OTC email — a thin wrapper over the existing SMTP layer.
+
+The §15.4 notification mailer in `email.py` is purpose-built for
+inbox-driven mail (unsubscribe footers, quiet-hours holds, bundling).
+OTC mail is structurally different: it carries a credential, has no
+inbox row behind it, and ignores user-preferences (a contributor
+who's opted out of every notification still needs to receive the
+code they explicitly requested).
+
+So this module reuses `EmailConfig.from_env()` for the SMTP plumbing
+and the From identity, but writes its own envelope. In dev (no
+SMTP_HOST set), the envelope is logged at INFO level and pushed to
+the same `_SENT` buffer the notification mailer uses, so the
+integration tests can assert on the outbound shape without standing
+up an SMTP server.
+
+The send is synchronous. The `/auth/otc/request` endpoint always
+returns 202 regardless of send outcome — the user-facing surface
+doesn't know whether the SMTP relay was reachable, since revealing
+that would let an attacker probe for valid emails on a tight loop.

+"""§6.2 / v0.7.0 / v0.8.0: email + one-time-code sign-in.
+
+Replaces the Gitea OAuth gesture as the primary human-auth path. The
+Gitea bot user + token are still needed for server-side git
+operations (repo reads, PR creation); only the operator-facing
+sign-in surface moves through this module.
+
+The shape:
+
+  * `request_code(email)` generates a 6-digit decimal code,
+    hashes it (bcrypt), stores the hash + expiry in `otc_codes`,
+    and dispatches a plain-text email via `email_otc.send`. It
+    invalidates any prior unused codes for the same email so a
+    re-request keeps the surface to one outstanding code per
+    address. The TTL comes from `OTC_TTL_MINUTES` (default 10).
+    A per-email cooldown (`OTC_REQUEST_COOLDOWN_SECONDS`, default
+    60) refuses back-to-back requests inside the window.
+
+  * `verify_code(email, code)` walks the most recent unconsumed
+    non-expired row for the email, checks the bcrypt hash, marks
+    the row consumed, and returns the linked or freshly-provisioned
+    user row.
+
+  * `provision_or_link_user(email)` is the migration path: if a
+    `users` row already carries `email` (case-insensitive), it is
+    reused — `gitea_id` is left alone so a grandfathered OAuth-era
+    user keeps the linker intact. Otherwise a fresh contributor
+    row is provisioned with `gitea_id = NULL`, `gitea_login = NULL`,
+    and `permission_state = 'pending'` (v0.8.0 — see below).
+
+The endpoints in `main.py` thin-wrap this module.
+
+v0.8.0 (roadmap item #6) replaces the v0.3.0 `allowed_emails` gate at
+the request surface. The request handler used to silently drop OTC
+requests for emails not on the allowlist; now any valid email
+receives a code. The admission gate moves to `permission_state` on
+the freshly-provisioned `users` row: a fresh user lands in 'pending'
+and waits for an admin grant before write endpoints accept them.
+Read surfaces stay open (the same blast radius v0.6.0 / item #4
+already audited for anonymous viewers).
+
+The `allowed_emails` table itself stays in the schema as a
+fast-path bypass — the admin UI from v0.3.0 continues to manage it,
+and a future release (v0.9.0's admin user-management page) collapses
+the two admission surfaces into one. The OTC request path no
+longer consults the table.

+"""§6.2 / v0.10.0: user-set passcodes after OTC (roadmap item #8).
+
+After a successful OTC sign-in, a contributor may set a passcode and
+use email + passcode for subsequent sign-ins. OTC remains the fallback
+— a forgotten passcode is recovered by requesting a fresh OTC.
+
+This module is the state machine behind the four `/auth/passcode/*`
+endpoints (`set`, `clear`, `verify`, `check`). The endpoints in
+`main.py` thin-wrap these helpers in the same shape the OTC module
+uses (see `otc.py`).
+
+Shape:
+
+  * `set_passcode(user_id, passcode)` — bcrypt-hash the passcode and
+    write it to `users.passcode_hash` + `users.passcode_set_at`.
+    Validation (length, denylist) happens here, not at the endpoint,
+    so the rule lives in one place. Replaces any prior passcode.
+  * `clear_passcode(user_id)` — null out `passcode_hash` and
+    `passcode_set_at`. The user is back to OTC-only.
+  * `verify_passcode(email, passcode)` — locate the user by email,
+    check lockout, compare via bcrypt, manage the failure counter,
+    and return a populated `SessionUser` on success.
+  * `passcode_status(email)` — does this email have a passcode set?
+    Used by the `/auth/passcode/check` endpoint that the Login.jsx
+    flow consults after the user types their email.
+
+Lockout is a v1 shape: 5 consecutive failures sets
+`passcode_locked_until` to `now + 15 minutes`, after which a verify
+attempt that lands inside the window returns HTTP 423. The OTC path
+is unaffected by the lockout — a user can request and verify a fresh
+OTC to sign in while their passcode is locked out, and `verify_code`
+in `otc.py` does not consult these columns.
+
+The lockout window and the failure threshold are hard-coded here.
+Tuning them via env vars (or moving to per-IP rate-limiting) is a
+§19.2 candidate; see SPEC §19.2.

+"""§6.2 / v0.12.0 / roadmap item #10: CloudFlare Turnstile siteverify.
+
+The OTC request endpoint (`/auth/otc/request`) is the abuse hot path
+of the auth surface since v0.7.0 — the per-email cooldown stops the
+trivial back-to-back loop, but it does not stop a distributed scraper
+that fans out across a large invitee list to harvest the "this email
+is admitted vs. this email is not" signal indirectly (timing
+differences, SMTP bounce-rate observation). v0.12.0 gates the request
+endpoint behind a one-step browser-side Turnstile challenge before the
+bcrypt hash + SMTP send.
+
+Stateless: no DB writes, no schema change. The siteverify call to
+CloudFlare lives entirely in this module; the endpoint handler in
+`main.py` thin-wraps `verify_token`.
+
+Tunables (read at call time so tests can monkeypatch):
+
+  * `CLOUDFLARE_TURNSTILE_SECRET`  — the operator-provisioned secret
+    key from the Turnstile dashboard. Lives in GCP Secret Manager in
+    production; absent in tests (which monkeypatch the siteverify
+    transport). When unset, the behavior depends on `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED`:
+      - `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=true`  → fail closed (`misconfigured`).
+      - `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=false` (default) → skip verification entirely
+        and admit the request. This is the dev/test path and the
+        "operator hasn't wired the secret yet" path; production
+        deployments **should** set `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=true` once the
+        secret is in place so a regression in the secret wiring fails
+        loudly instead of silently disabling abuse defense.
+
+  * `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED`           — `true` / `false` (default `false`).
+    When `false` and the secret is absent, the gate is open. When
+    `true` and the secret is absent, the endpoint refuses with a
+    misconfigured-auth shape rather than silently letting requests
+    through.
+
+  * `TURNSTILE_SITEVERIFY_URL`     — points at the real CloudFlare
+    endpoint by default. Override in tests to redirect at a mock
+    URL when `httpx.MockTransport` isn't ergonomic for the case.
+
+The siteverify contract is documented at
+https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/get-started/server-side-validation/.
+We POST `secret` + `response` (and optionally `remoteip`) as form
+fields and read back `{"success": true|false, ...}`. Any network /
+parse failure on the siteverify call is treated as a verification
+failure (`network`) — the abuse path is to skip the challenge, so
+"can't reach CloudFlare" defaults to "refuse the request" when
+`TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=true`, and "admit" when `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=false`.

+-- operations (repo reads, PR creation); only the operator-facing
+-- sign-in surface moves. The /auth/callback OAuth route remains
+-- functional during migration as a fallback, scheduled for removal
+-- in a future release once every active user has signed in via OTC

+--
+-- A row in `otc_codes` represents an outstanding 6-digit code that
+-- was emailed to `email`. Codes are stored hashed (bcrypt) rather
+-- than plaintext, so a database compromise does not expose the
+-- in-flight code. TTL is enforced by `expires_at`. Each `verify`
+-- success stamps `consumed_at` and refuses every later attempt
+-- against the same row.

+--
+--   * `users.email` is the primary identity key for new sign-ins.
+--   * `users.gitea_id` stays populated for users grandfathered in
+--     via the OAuth-era flow; new users have `gitea_id = NULL`.
+--     The unique-constraint on `gitea_id` is relaxed (in v0.5.0 it
+--     was `INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL`) to permit the NULL.
+--   * `users.email` becomes a (case-insensitive) unique key. An
+--     existing OAuth user whose Gitea profile carried an email is
+--     linked on first OTC sign-in; if no row matches, a fresh
+--     contributor row is provisioned.
+--
+-- New env vars (v0.7.0):

+-- fast-path bypass — populated rows are still readable by the
+-- existing admin UI; the OTC `/request` handler no longer consults
+-- it. v0.9.0's admin user-management page will replace the
+-- allowlist UI entirely.
+--
+-- Schema additions:
+--
+--   * `permission_state` — three-state CHECK: 'pending' | 'granted' |
+--     'revoked'. Default 'granted' so every row at migration time
+--     passes through unaffected; only newly provisioned OTC users
+--     land in 'pending' (the OTC verify path sets the column

+--     slot is here so v0.9.0's admin user-management page can flip
+--     the column without another migration.
+--
+--   * `first_name`, `last_name` — nullable TEXT. Captured on the
+--     first OTC sign-in via `POST /auth/me/beta-request`. Existing
+--     rows (OAuth-era users, OTC users provisioned in v0.7.0) carry
+--     NULL through the migration; the admin queue treats an
+--     unpopulated capture as "auto-grandfathered" since the row's
+--     `permission_state` is already 'granted'.
+--
+--   * `beta_request_reason` — nullable TEXT. The free-text "why I
+--     should be included" from the capture form. Bounded to ~4000
+--     chars at the endpoint layer (no DB-level constraint —
+--     SQLite's TEXT is unbounded).
+--
+--   * `permission_decided_by` — nullable INTEGER. The `users.id` of
+--     the admin who flipped `permission_state` from 'pending' to
+--     'granted' (or 'granted' to 'revoked'). NULL for grandfathered
+--     rows (they were never decided — they passed through at
+--     migration). ON DELETE SET NULL because losing the admin row
+--     should not cascade-delete the user whose access they granted.

+--   * `id` — surrogate key. Lets the revoke-device UI address a single
+--     row by id without leaking the token shape.
+--   * `user_id` — FK into users(id) with cascade on delete. A deleted

+--     issued at trust-time. The raw token only ever lives in the
+--     outbound `Set-Cookie` header and the inbound `Cookie` header;
+--     server-side storage is the hash, so a DB compromise does not
+--     hand attackers a stash of valid device tokens.
+--   * `created_at` — when the row was issued.
+--   * `expires_at` — `created_at + 30 days`. A row past this timestamp
+--     is dead; the lookup path refuses it without further checks.
+--   * `user_agent` — the User-Agent header captured at issuance.
+--     Stored verbatim (truncated to 1024 chars at the application
+--     layer) so the revoke-device UI can show a rough device label.
+--     Not used for any auth decision — purely a hint to the user
+--     reviewing their device list.
+--   * `last_seen_at` — refreshed every time the row authenticates a
+--     request. Lets the revoke-device UI surface "last used 3 days
+--     ago" so the user can tell which row corresponds to which
+--     device.
+--   * `revoked_at` — NULL means active; non-NULL stamps when the user
+--     (or admin) revoked the row. Lookups treat any non-NULL value
+--     as "this row is dead" without consulting the expiry; the
+--     revoke gesture is intentionally one-way (a revoked device must
+--     re-trust to come back online).
+--
+-- Indexing: a unique index on `device_token_hash` so collisions are

+    submits `POST /api/auth/me/beta-request`, every owner/admin
+    receives a `new_beta_request` notification (the §15 substrate

+  * **Admin user-management surface** at `/admin/users`. The
+    `GET /api/admin/users` listing carries every user with their
+    permission_state, profile fields, sign-up reason, and decision
+    audit. The new `POST /api/admin/users/<id>/permission` endpoint
+    flips the column and writes a `permission_events` row.
+
+The tests prove:
+
+  * The first beta-request submission fans a `new_beta_request`
+    row out to every admin/owner (and not to the requester
+    themselves). The row carries the captured profile in
+    `payload.extras`.
+  * Re-submitting the form from the same pending user doesn't
+    re-fan (we only notify on the row's first complete state).
+  * `GET /api/admin/users` carries the v0.9.0 columns
+    (permission_state, first/last/reason, decided_by).
+  * `POST /api/admin/users/<id>/permission` flips the state,
+    stamps decided_by/at, and writes a `permission_events` row.
+  * The endpoint refuses self-flip (422) and refuses non-admin
+    callers (403).
+  * The endpoint accepts only the three valid states (422 on

+"""v0.6.0 (roadmap item #4) — "anon discuss + contribute off-limits"
+vertical.
+
+A sweep-the-edges hardening release. The v0.3.0 release hid the write
+affordances from anonymous viewers; v0.5.0 added the PR-less discussion
+surface with its own write gate. v0.6.0 audits both: every write-shaped
+endpoint refuses anonymous callers with 401 (or 403 when the role check
+runs after the auth check), and every anonymous-read surface stays
+reachable.
+
+This test is the regression net for the audit. It walks each module's
+representative write endpoint as an anonymous client and asserts the
+401/403, then walks the same surfaces' representative read endpoints
+as anonymous and asserts the 200. The intent is breadth over depth:
+one assertion per write endpoint family is enough to catch a
+regression where someone strips the `auth.require_contributor` line.
+
+Endpoints covered (one or two from each module):
+
+  - api.py:          propose, decline (admin), withdraw,
+                     funder credentials POST/DELETE, funder consent
+                     POST/DELETE
+  - api_branches.py: promote-to-branch, start-edit-branch, metadata,
+                     manual-flush, visibility, grants POST/DELETE,
+                     threads POST, thread messages POST, resolve,
+                     chat-seen, change accept/decline/reask
+  - api_prs.py:      pr-draft, open-pr, seen, review, merge, withdraw,
+                     description, resolution-branch
+  - api_discussion.py: thread create, message post, resolve
+  - api_admin.py:    role POST, mute POST, allowlist POST/DELETE
+  - api_notifications.py: prefs POST, watch POST, mark-read POST,
+                          quiet-hours POST, user-mute POST/DELETE
+  - api_graduation.py: graduate POST, claim POST, progress GET
+
+The §15.7 reads (`/api/notifications`, `/api/watches`,
+`/api/users/me/*`) are per-user surfaces — they require an
+authenticated viewer by definition; an anonymous 401 on those reads is
+shape-correct, not a regression. The test does not assert reads on
+those.

+"""End-to-end integration tests for v0.8.0's open beta-access request
+flow (§6.1 / §14.1, roadmap item #6).
+
+The release replaces v0.3.0's `allowed_emails` allowlist as the
+admission gate. Any valid email can sign in via the v0.7.0 OTC flow;
+a fresh user lands in `permission_state='pending'` until an admin
+grants access. The first-OTC flow captures first name, last name,
+and a free-text "why I should be included in the beta" via a new
+`POST /api/auth/me/beta-request` endpoint.
+
+The tests prove:
+
+  * A fresh OTC user lands `permission_state='pending'` with empty
+    profile fields, and the verify-response carries `needs_profile=true`.
+  * `POST /api/auth/me/beta-request` populates the three fields and
+    leaves the row in `pending`.
+  * A pending user is refused write endpoints (representative
+    samples: propose RFC, post discussion thread). The refusal is
+    403 (not 401 — they're authenticated, just not granted).
+  * An admin-grant flow promotes pending → granted. v0.8.0 doesn't
+    ship an admin UI for this (deferred to item #7 / v0.9.0), so
+    the test flips the column directly via DB and asserts that
+    `require_contributor` now admits the user.
+  * A grandfathered user (existing row pre-migration, default
+    `permission_state='granted'`) is unaffected — write endpoints

+"""End-to-end integration tests for the v0.11.0 trust-device vertical
+(§6.2, roadmap item #9).
+
+After a successful OTC or passcode sign-in with `trust_device=true`
+on the body, the server mints a fresh `device_trust` row and sets the
+`rfc_device_trust` cookie. On a subsequent visit, the cookie carries
+a session re-established by `POST /auth/device-trust/start`. The
+tests below prove:
+
+  * `trust_device=false` (default, including omitted) on OTC verify
+    does NOT set the device-trust cookie and does NOT insert a row.
+  * `trust_device=true` on OTC verify DOES set the cookie (HttpOnly +
+    Secure + SameSite=Lax + 30-day Max-Age) and DOES insert a row.
+    The row's hash is NOT the raw token; only the hash lives in the
+    database.
+  * Same shape for passcode verify.
+  * On a returning visit with the cookie, `POST /auth/device-trust/start`
+    re-establishes the session — `GET /api/auth/me` reads the right
+    user without an OTC roundtrip.
+  * `last_seen_at` refreshes on a successful lookup.
+  * `POST /auth/device-trust/start` with no cookie returns 401.
+  * `POST /auth/device-trust/start` with a forged / unknown cookie
+    returns 401 + clears the cookie.
+  * A revoked row refuses the cookie (401) and clears it.
+  * An expired row refuses the cookie (401) and clears it.
+  * `GET /api/auth/me/devices` lists the user's active rows.
+  * `DELETE /api/auth/me/devices/{id}` revokes a single row.
+  * `DELETE /api/auth/me/devices/{id}` for another user's row reads 404.
+  * `DELETE /api/auth/me/devices` revokes every active row.
+  * Constant-time path: bcrypt.checkpw guards lookup; the raw token
+    is never written to logs or to the DB.
+
+The fakes from `test_propose_vertical` give us a working app harness.
+The OTC envelope buffer from `test_otc_vertical` is reused for the
+OTC roundtrips this suite needs.

+"""End-to-end integration tests for the v0.7.0 email/OTC sign-in
+vertical (§6.2).
+
+The release replaces the Gitea OAuth gesture as the primary human
+sign-in path. The tests prove:
+
+  * `/auth/otc/request` is rate-limited per-email — back-to-back
+    requests inside `OTC_REQUEST_COOLDOWN_SECONDS` are refused with
+    429 (the loud-failure shape the spec calls out).
+  * The happy path: request → code lands in the outbound buffer →
+    verify with the code → session cookie surfaces an authenticated
+    user via `/api/auth/me`.
+  * Expired codes refuse with 400.
+  * Already-consumed codes refuse with 400 on re-use.
+  * Wrong codes refuse with 400.
+  * Allowlist gate (v0.8.0 update): v0.7.0 silently dropped requests
+    for emails not on `allowed_emails`. v0.8.0 (item #6) removed
+    that gate from the request path; the admission gate is now
+    `permission_state` on the freshly-provisioned `users` row,
+    asserted in test_beta_access_vertical.py. The tests below
+    confirm v0.8.0's open-request shape for both on-list and
+    off-list emails.
+  * Migration link: an existing OAuth-era user (with a `users.email`
+    row) is linked by email on first OTC sign-in — `gitea_id` is
+    preserved.
+  * Provisioning path: an unrecognized email creates a fresh
+    contributor row with `gitea_id = NULL`.
+
+The Gitea bot user + token are still required at process construction
+(every test harness sets the same `GITEA_*` env vars); the OTC flow
+itself never reaches Gitea. The fakes from `test_propose_vertical`
+remain in scope so the rest of the app boots cleanly.

+"""End-to-end integration tests for the v0.10.0 user-set passcode
+vertical (§6.2, roadmap item #8).
+
+After a successful OTC sign-in the user can set a passcode and use
+email + passcode for subsequent sign-ins. OTC remains the structural
+fallback — these tests prove:
+
+  * `/auth/passcode/set` requires an active session.
+  * `/auth/passcode/check` returns `has_passcode` without leaking the
+    hash, the set-at stamp, or the lockout state.
+  * Happy path: OTC sign-in → set passcode → sign out → email +
+    passcode signs in (no OTC roundtrip).
+  * Wrong passcode increments the failure counter without locking.
+  * Five consecutive failures lock the passcode path (HTTP 423) and
+    persist `passcode_locked_until` on the user row.
+  * The lockout expires after `passcode_locked_until`; a verify
+    attempt past the window succeeds again and clears the counter.
+  * The OTC path is unaffected by the passcode lockout — a user
+    whose passcode is locked can still request and verify a fresh
+    OTC to sign in.
+  * Clearing the passcode wipes the hash; subsequent verify refuses
+    with the no-passcode failure shape.
+  * Setting a new passcode replaces the prior one (and resets the
+    failure counter / lockout state).
+  * `passcode_set_at` updates on every set call.
+  * The validation denylist refuses obvious patterns (e.g. `0000`,
+    `1234`).
+  * Passcode length is enforced (4-20).
+
+The fakes from `test_propose_vertical` give us a working app harness.
+The OTC envelope buffer from `test_otc_vertical` is reused for the
+OTC roundtrips this suite needs.

+"""End-to-end integration tests for the v0.12.0 CloudFlare Turnstile
+gate on `/auth/otc/request` (§6.2 / roadmap item #10).
+
+The release gates the OTC request endpoint behind a one-step
+browser-side Turnstile challenge before the bcrypt hash + SMTP send.
+The tests prove:
+
+  * Happy path: with the secret set, a valid token admits the request
+    and the OTC envelope lands.
+  * Failure path: with the secret set, a token siteverify rejects
+    refuses the request with 400 and produces no envelope.
+  * Missing-token: with the secret set, a request without a token
+    refuses with 400.
+  * Missing-secret-soft: with the secret unset AND
+    `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=false` (the v0.12.0 default), the request
+    admits — this is the dev / "operator hasn't wired it yet" path.
+  * Missing-secret-hard: with the secret unset AND
+    `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED=true`, the request refuses with 500
+    "auth misconfigured" — the production fail-closed path once
+    the operator has flipped the policy.
+
+The Turnstile siteverify call is mocked at the `httpx.post` boundary
+inside `app.turnstile` so no real keys are needed and no real
+CloudFlare call is made. The Gitea fakes from `test_propose_vertical`
+remain in scope so the rest of the app boots cleanly.

+// `/login`. Reads the site key from `import.meta.env.VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY`
+// (Vite convention — VITE_* prefix is build-time embedded). When the
+// site key is unset/empty, this component renders nothing and reports
+// a `null` token through `onToken` so the parent form can still submit.
+// The backend's `TURNSTILE_REQUIRED` policy decides what happens to a
+// request that arrives without a token; the frontend is intentionally
+// not in that loop. See `backend/app/turnstile.py` for the matrix.
+//
+// The CloudFlare script is loaded once per page on first widget mount.
+// Subsequent mounts (e.g. user goes back to email-entry after a failed
+// OTC request) reuse the script tag and re-render the widget on the
+// fresh container `div`. Unmounting removes the widget instance via
+// `turnstile.remove(widgetId)` so a remount produces a new challenge
+// rather than reusing a stale, already-consumed token.
+//
+// Turnstile contract:
+//   * `data-callback` fires with the token string on a successful
+//     challenge; the token is single-use and expires after ~5 minutes.
+//   * `data-error-callback` fires on a failed challenge (network,
+//     blocked, etc.); we surface a `null` token so the parent shows
+//     a retry hint.
+//   * `data-expired-callback` fires when the token times out before
+//     submission; we also drop to `null` and re-render so the user
+//     gets a fresh challenge on retry.

+// analytics.js — v0.15.0 / roadmap item #13.
+//
+// Wrapper around `@amplitude/unified` (Amplitude Analytics +
+// Session Replay) that gates SDK initialization on the user's
+// cookie/privacy consent (v0.13.0, `frontend/src/lib/consent.js`,
+// SPEC §14.5). The wrapper presents a stable surface to the rest
+// of the app:
+//
+//     import { track, identify, anonymize } from './lib/analytics'
+//
+//     track('RFC Viewed', { rfc_slug: 'open-human-model' })
+//     identify({ user_id: 'u_123' })
+//     anonymize()  // call on sign-out
+//
+// At first import the wrapper:
+//   1. Calls `bootstrap()` once, which reads `getConsent()` and
+//      subscribes to `onConsentChange()`. If consent.analytics is
+//      true, it lazily imports the Amplitude SDK and calls
+//      `amplitude.initAll(API_KEY, { analytics: { autocapture: true },
+//                                     sessionReplay: { sampleRate: 1 } })`.
+//      If consent.analytics is false (or undecided), the SDK is
+//      not loaded — no network request, no cookies, no session
+//      replay recording. A later consent change to `true` triggers
+//      init at that moment.
+//   2. The wrapper queues `track()` and `identify()` calls made
+//      before init finishes (lazy import + consent grant), and
+//      drains the queue when init completes.
+//   3. If the user later flips consent from granted → denied, the
+//      wrapper calls `amplitude.setOptOut(true)` so subsequent
+//      events are dropped client-side and session replay stops
+//      recording (the SDK is still loaded — we cannot unload a
+//      script — but it stops firing).
+//
+// Consent precedence ladder:
+//
+//     consent.analytics === true   → init + track
+//     consent.analytics === false  → no init; or if already init,
+//                                    setOptOut(true)
+//     consent.recorded_at === null → treat as denied (banner is up;
+//                                    the user has not yet chosen)
+//
+// Session replay scope: this release ships session replay at
+// `sampleRate: 1` (100% of sessions are recorded for full-DOM
+// playback). That is the vendor-recommended default for new
+// Amplitude deployments. The v0.13.0 consent banner's single
+// "analytics" toggle gates both events and session replay together —
+// a separate consent category for session-replay specifically is a
+// §19.2 follow-up.
+//
+// API key resolution:
+//
+//     The build-time env var `VITE_AMPLITUDE_API_KEY` carries the
+//     Amplitude project's API key. When it is unset/empty, the
+//     wrapper logs one console warning and no-ops — every public
+//     function becomes a deterministic no-op so dev environments
+//     (and deployments that intentionally don't ship analytics)
+//     keep working. The deploy gesture wires the key via flotilla's
+//     `overlay set` verb (see CHANGELOG for the operator gesture):
+//     Amplitude browser keys are bundle-embedded by design (visible
+//     to anyone with dev tools, same nature as the v0.12.0
+//     `VITE_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY`), so the binding is overlay, not
+//     secret.
+//
+// PII discipline:
+//
+//     `identify({ user_id })` SHOULD pass only the opaque server-
+//     side user id (the `viewer.id` integer or string). DO NOT pass
+//     email, display name, IP, or any other PII through the SDK.
+//     Event properties SHOULD likewise stay limited to ids and
+//     enums; free-text fields (titles, comment bodies) MUST NOT be
+//     sent.

+          stores the identity you sign in with (your Gitea login,
+          display name, email, and avatar URL), the proposals and edits
+          you author, the discussion threads you participate in, and
+          your notification preferences. Authoring is public by design —
+          this is a framework for public-async RFC work, and threads,
+          changes, and PRs are visible to anyone who reaches the
+          deployment. Settings (notification toggles, quiet hours, mute
+          list, cookie consent) are private to your account.

+          The app sets a small set of cookies. The full list is on the{' '}
+          <Link to="/cookies">cookies policy page</Link>. You can choose
+          which categories you allow from the consent banner shown on

+        </p>
+
+        <h2>Analytics</h2>
+        <p>
+          The framework supports an optional anonymous analytics layer
+          gated behind your consent choice. As of v0.13.0 no analytics
+          SDK ships in the framework; deployments that enable analytics
+          do so via a later framework version (roadmap item #13). The
