The other half of the error log. That one is what broke; this is what was done,
and nobody could ask it: `ListActivity` takes one project id, and an
administrator is not necessarily a member of the project they need to look into.
Paged with a keyset cursor rather than an offset. The log is written to
constantly and read rarely, so a page fetched a minute after the one before it
would be shifted by everything written in between — one row shown twice and the
row behind it skipped, which is the single failure an audit log must not have.
Both halves of the cursor matter: the log is written in whole seconds, so a
timestamp alone cannot separate two rows written in the same one.
Migration 0009 makes `activity.user_id` SET NULL for the same reason 0008 did it
to `created_by`. A log whose rows vanish with the account they describe answers
"what has happened here" with everything except the part somebody had a reason to
remove. `project_id` keeps cascading on purpose: the trash is the undo, and past
it the deletion was deliberate.
The event names moved to `web/src/lib/events.js`, because two surfaces read the
same log now and two copies of nineteen strings is two places for them to drift.

The panel's watcher reported four 5xx today — twice from one address at
11:49, twice from another at 10:45 — and there is no way to find out what
any of them were. verdande logs the real cause of every 500, but on a Rune
the log belongs to the container and the container is replaced on every
restart. So an operator is told that something broke and given nothing to
act on, which is the worst of both: alarming and useless.
Every 500 now writes a row: what the handler was attempting in its own
words, the error it hit, the method and path, who was asking, and the
request id that ties it back to the log line for whoever still has it. The
"what" is the part a status code cannot give — "list projects" and "move
task" are the difference between a fault you can find and one you can only
count.
Written best-effort and never checked. This is the path that is already
reporting a failure, and a diagnostic that can itself fail the request
would turn one broken screen into two.
Threading the request through `internal()` and `storeError()` touched 108
call sites across 19 files, which is the price of not having had it there
from the start. It is mechanical and the compiler checked all of it.
Kept for thirty days by the nightly sweep: long enough to answer "what
happened last week", short enough that a fault loop cannot fill the volume
the tasks live on.
Read at Indstillinger → Fejl, administrators only — it carries paths,
account names and the server's own error strings. The empty state says
"Ingen fejl registreret. Det er den rigtige tilstand", because a blank
panel should not read as a broken one.
The test drops a table and asks for the endpoint that reads it: the same
code path a disk error takes, and the row that comes back has to name the
operation, the account and the request.

The README has promised "internal users are created by an admin" since the
beginning and there was no such thing. There are exactly two ways an
account has ever come into existence: the first admin at setup, and
somebody accepting an invite to a project. So the only way to add a person
was to share a project with them first.
The store has been ready the whole time. CreateInvite already documents
that "projectID may be empty, which invites somebody to the instance
rather than to a particular project", and AcceptInvite already has the
branch that grants no membership when there is none. requireAdmin has
existed in the middleware and was used nowhere. This wires those three
together and puts a page on them.
An invite rather than an account with a password the administrator picks.
A password typed here would be known to two people before it was ever
used, and would then have to travel to the second one by some channel
nobody has thought about. No name is asked for either — the signup form
asks the person, and a name an administrator guesses is a name somebody
has to correct.
Two refusals keep the instance administrable: the last administrator
cannot be demoted or deleted, and nobody can delete the account they are
signed in as. Both are enforced on the server; the interface simply does
not draw the buttons on your own row, because a button whose only purpose
is to be refused wastes a click to teach a rule. The last-admin refusal
gets its own error code, because "that already exists" is not what
happened and this is the one refusal a person needs explained.
Deleting an account is the only hard delete in this database, and building
the confirmation is what turned up how wide it goes. `projects.owner_id`
cascades, which is expected. But `tasks.created_by` cascades too — so
removing a colleague deletes every task they ever wrote, including in
projects somebody else owns. The count in the list says so, and the
confirmation says it in words. Changing that to ON DELETE SET NULL, so the
work stays and loses its author, means rebuilding the tasks table and its
FTS triggers: worth doing, not worth doing quietly while adding a screen.
It is written down in the store instead.
Pending invites are listed and can be withdrawn. Only the token's hash is
stored, so a link sent to the wrong address cannot be looked up and
resent — withdrawing it is the only way to stop it before it expires.
Six API tests for the guards and the counts, and two smoke tests: the
whole loop from invite to a second browser creating the account and
appearing in the list as somebody who is not an administrator, and the
absence of buttons on your own row.

There was no /indstillinger route at all. The Gmail OAuth callback
redirects there and had been answering 404 since it was written.
Six pages rather than one long scroll, because the sections have nothing
to do with each other and somebody opening API tokens should not have to
walk past their own password to get there: the account and its second
factor, notifications, integrations, AI, tokens, and data. Everything
listed as having no interface in the handoff is reachable from one of
them — the calendar feed, the mail-to-task address, Gmail, the AI
provider, import, export, templates and the update notice.
Two decisions worth naming. The AI key field starts empty and says why:
a settings page that repopulates a password field is one that will
eventually leak a key into a screenshot, and an empty value means "leave
the stored one alone" rather than "clear it". And the form chrome lives
in the layout as :global rules, because scoped styles do not reach a
child route and six copies of the same twelve selectors is six places for
them to drift.
