docs(auth): GitHub is offered to nobody where passwords are (ADR 0017)
ADR 0017's rules as they stand, halkyon_app's README and Learn's
AGENTS.md: where an instance offers passwords, the apps offer no Add GitHub
and no hint on adding it, an anonymous person's Sign in with GitHub reaches
only the account someone has, and every refusal says why.

docs(auth): the short reading of the fixes (ADR 0017)
ADR 0017 gets "The short reading": its findings, the developer's four
decisions of 21 Oct, and what changed. "The rules as they stand" says a
reset takes effect 14 days after it was asked at the latest, that a member
keeps the session a reset signed in and deletes nobody while the register
is out of reach, and no longer claims every secret is kept out of every
capture: Android holds them back, Windows from 10 2004, macOS from
screenshots but not ScreenCaptureKit on macOS 15 and later, iOS covers
the app switcher's picture alone, Linux nothing. The module's and
halkyon_app's READMEs and Learn's AGENTS.md follow.

docs(auth): reading the full reading's fixes (ADR 0017)
ADR 0017 gets "Reading the fixes (21 Oct 2026)": each finding and what
was done, and "The rules as they stand" brought up to date (resets take
effect once 72 hours outside hold-outs passed and lapse 30 days after
they were asked; GitHub-only accounts go 30 days after the end; a member
takes the register's moment by its own clock; nothing secret copied on
the device). The module README and Learn's AGENTS.md say the same.

docs(auth): the device side's rest of the full reading (ADR 0017)
ADR 0017's full-reading part says what the device's fixes did: the
clipboard, plain HTTP refused but on this machine, sheets never left busy,
what Save leaves, secrets out of debug logs, keyboards, screenshots and
backups, memory, and the real cryptography against the register's checks.
halkyon_app's README says what an app must add (its activity's screen
guard), Learn's AGENTS.md the HTTPS rule for instances.

docs(auth): proofs bound to the base URL and to what they approve (ADR 0017)
The full reading's part in ADR 0017 records the device's medium 1 as done
(the identity's purpose and digest, the base URL in place of the host, an
instance under a path taking no password sign-in), and "The rules as they
stand" says what "password" binds; the module's and halkyon_app's READMEs
say the same.

its operation and the whole base URL, still to do. "The rules as they

fix(auth)!: the recovery phrase is proved by a key of its own
A key proof was a signature by the account's signing key, which every
signed-in device keeps in its keyring: whoever could read one, with a
code from its authenticator, set a new password without the password or
the phrase (the second reading's H1). The phrase now proves itself with
an Ed25519 key derived from its bits alone (halkyon_keys'
recoveryProofKeysOf, KDF context hlkrprf1, a sibling of the recovery
key), whose public half every setup, new phrase and account reset sends
and the register keeps (account_password.recoveryProofKey); the device
derives the secret half only while the phrase is typed. An account
without one (none exist outside development) proves no phrase until it
sets a new one; decoys check against a decoy proof key alike.

Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
ALTER TABLE "account_password" ADD COLUMN "recoveryProofKey" bytea;
nullable, so rows made before keep working and no data is touched.

fix(keys): a device refuses Argon2id costs beyond the register's ceiling
PasswordKdf.fromJson refused costs below the floor but took any above it,
so an instance could ask a device for 100 GiB and crash the app at every
sign-in. It now refuses more than the register's own ceiling (16 passes,
1 GiB; KeyRefusal.excessivePasswordKdf), and the app reads either refusal,
before deriving or sending anything, as PasswordProblem.unsafeCosts with
a text of its own (before, costs below the floor read as keys missing).

fix(auth): a new recovery phrase takes the password too
password.setRecoveryKeys took a session and a TOTP code alone, so a phone
signed in with its authenticator beside it could set a phrase of its
holder's own and, through the phrase's reset, a new password, never
knowing the old one. It now takes the old password's SRP proof (from
beginChange, the caller's own) and a TOTP or recovery code, as changing
the password does: one owner proof for both (_proveOwner), forwarded by
members, asked for in the account section's New recovery phrase.

docs(auth): what building the apps' side settled (ADR 0017)
ADR 0017's step-3 section: codes by mail sign nobody in, the ways in
for accounts without a working password, changes while signed in,
sessions ended in every service, the apps' screens (the QR package and
the alternatives considered), the keys in the keyring, anonymous
people's keys waiting for step 4, and libsodium on devices (results
copied before they leave an isolate; a C compiler and make for every
build). The module's and halkyon_app's READMEs and the AGENTS files say
the same; the snap's build installs make for sodium's build hook.

docs(auth): what reviewing the register's side settled
ADR 0017: the account's reset without the phrase waits 72 hours, as the
developer confirmed; adding an authenticator takes a code from one
confirmed before; a password set up for good stays through resets; and
per-network limits count by the visitor's address behind a trusted proxy.

deprecation) and what step 3 must do; the module's README and the

feat(keys): passwords taken as RFC 8265's OpaqueString
Other spaces become a plain space and the text is composed (NFC) before
Argon2id, so a password typed on another system, accents composed or
not, unlocks the same keys; empty passwords and control characters are
refused. The normalisation (unorm_dart) is pinned exactly, as it must
never change once an account exists. ADR 0017 records both decisions.
