Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 ebdc8eacf2 feat(admin): deleting an account stops deleting other people's work
`tasks.created_by` was ON DELETE CASCADE, so retiring a colleague removed every
task they had ever written — including in projects somebody else owns. The
interface said so in plain words before you pressed the button, which is a
warning rather than a fix. It was the last remaining way to lose other people's
work by accident.

SET NULL instead: the task stays and loses its author, the same shape
`assignee_id` and `completed_by` already have.

SQLite cannot alter a foreign key action, so the table is rebuilt — and with
foreign keys on, the drop in the middle of a rebuild is a cascading delete that
takes every row referencing `tasks` with it. `PRAGMA foreign_keys` is a no-op
inside a transaction, so migrations now run on a connection of their own, and a
migration can opt out of enforcement with `-- verdande:rebuild-tables`.
`PRAGMA foreign_key_check` runs before the commit, so a rebuild that leaves a
dangling reference fails the migration rather than writing it.

The test fills a database at 0007, upgrades it, and counts. Without the marker it
loses a task, a label link and a comment — which is exactly what it is for.

The admin list now says two numbers instead of one: what disappears, and what
stays behind unattributed. They are different sentences and the second is a
reassurance.

Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 c2e2d66e76 feat(admin): keep server errors where a restart cannot take them
Release / Build and publish image (push) Failing after 12m56s
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.

Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 e8ebd0fa78 feat(admin): a page for who is on the instance, and how somebody else gets on it
Release / Build and publish image (push) Failing after 10m0s
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.
