The reading of the full reading's fixes found that every refusal at the
address's ceiling moved a reset to 72 hours after it (A1): someone who
knows only the address kept the owner's own reset from ever taking effect
with one burst every three days, and kept a forgotten one alive (A2).
Now a hold-out that begins before a reset takes effect moves it on only by
the time it holds the owner out and no hold-out counted before did
(account_reset.heldOutUntil, under a row lock), so the owner gets 72 hours
outside hold-outs in total; and every reset not carried out lapses 30 days
after it was asked (resetLivesAtMost), whatever moved it, besides a week
after it took effect.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
ALTER TABLE "account_reset" ADD COLUMN "heldOutUntil" timestamp without
time zone; nullable, existing rows counted from now on.

The full reading's M3: whoever knows the password made the account's codes
wait, and that wait refused the phrase's owner their reset too, so they were
held out of both without end. Codes now count per account and per way they
came (SecondFactorPath: after the password, after the phrase), each with
its own waits; a code accepted either way clears both.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers; Learn's device schema
rebuilds the server-only table):
DROP INDEX "second_factor_failures_person_idx";
ALTER TABLE "second_factor_failures" ADD COLUMN "path" text NOT NULL
DEFAULT 'password'::text;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "second_factor_failures_person_idx" ON
"second_factor_failures" USING btree ("authUserId", "path");
Existing rows are the password's, unique per account, so unique per
account and way too.
Also the hosts' generated future calls, for the pruning's doc comment the
lapsed resets' commit changed.

The tenth wrong owner proof in a row ends a session (the third
reading); someone holding that session tried the password or its
codes. The register now keeps the moment with the account's password
(`account_password.sessionEndedForProofsAt`): the account's sign-in
ways and its next password sign-in carry it, until the owner dismisses
it (`password.dismissSessionEndedWarning`, their session alone: it
hides a warning and secures nothing) or sets a new password. A member
ending its own session tells the register
(`noteSessionEndedForProofs`); a register out of reach leaves the
owner unwarned, the session ended all the same.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
ALTER TABLE "account_password" ADD COLUMN "sessionEndedForProofsAt"
timestamp without time zone; nullable, so every row keeps its values
and has no warning.

Codes by mail were tied to nothing but their address (the re-review's
seventh finding): a hostile instance could answer that a setup never
finished, have the person type a code into it, relay it to start the real
instance's account reset, and 72 hours later relay a second to finish it
with its own password and keys; the mail said "to sign in" whatever the
code was for. A code is now asked for a purpose (signUp, finishSetup,
authenticatorReset, accountReset, deletion), only that purpose takes it (any
other is refused as no longer valid, leaving the code as it was), and its
mail says what it would do ("to reset your account on learn.halkyon.eu: a
new password and new keys, and what was encrypted with the old ones is
lost") and to type it only in the app on that instance, nowhere else. The
app asks for each code with the purpose of its step.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
ALTER TABLE "email_code_request" ADD COLUMN "purpose" text; nullable,
so the requests of the last 15 minutes before it stay, taken by nothing
and forgotten within the hour.

Wrong codes for removing an authenticator, new recovery codes or confirming
one counted toward the account's waits (the re-review's third finding): a
stolen session alone, without the password, could keep the owner's codes
waiting for up to a day at a time, renewed without end, holding them out
of signing in and of changing the password, the way to end that session,
and nobody was mailed. Those codes now count per session, where the session
is (the register's own, or a member's, which forwards the code): each try
counted before its code is checked (one statement, so tries sent at once
count each), a code accepted clearing the count, and the tenth wrong in a
row ending the session (sessionEnded; the device says it was signed out).
A try that checked no code (a refusal of something else) is taken back.
The account's waits now count only codes after a right password, and the
per-account ten tries an hour, which a session could fill as well, go.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
CREATE TABLE "session_code_failures" ("id" bigserial PRIMARY KEY,
"sessionId" uuid NOT NULL, "authUserId" uuid NOT NULL, "failures"
bigint NOT NULL, "updatedAt" timestamp NOT NULL) with a unique index on
"sessionId": a new table, nothing touched. Its rows go with a code
accepted, with the person, and hourly once their session is gone.

Whoever knew the password could guess codes at 10 an hour forever,
unnoticed, each guess checked against every authenticator (the second
reading's M4). Every code an account's second factor refuses after a
right password (sign-in, a phrase's reset, a change) or from a signed-in
device (removing an authenticator, new recovery codes, the code from one
confirmed before) now counts, per account, from every network; after
every tenth in a row no code is taken (codesWait, saying until when), an
hour, then twice as long each time, a day at the most (longestCodeWait,
second_factor_waits.dart): at a day, ten guesses a day still have about a
1 % chance a year against one authenticator, so the first wait mails the
owner that someone knows their password. The instance keeps no address,
so sign-in and the phrase's reset now send the address the device typed
(and its language), used only for that mail after its hash is checked
against the account's. A code accepted clears it all.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
CREATE TABLE "second_factor_failures" ("id" bigserial PRIMARY KEY,
"authUserId" uuid NOT NULL, "failures" bigint NOT NULL, "waits"
bigint NOT NULL, "waitUntil" timestamp, "updatedAt" timestamp NOT
NULL) with a unique index on "authUserId": a new table, nothing
touched.

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.

ADR 0017, step 3. `password.beginChange` and `password.change` take the
old password's SRP proof and a TOTP or recovery code, and the same keys
wrapped under the new password; a session alone changes nothing, and an
account without a confirmed authenticator is told to set one up first.
`password.setRecoveryKeys` replaces the keys' wrapping under the
recovery phrase for a TOTP code, so a device holding the keys can make
a new phrase.
A change of password ends every other session of the account in every
service of the instance; resets of the password and of the account end
them all. The register ends its own and keeps a notice per member
(`sessions_ended_notice`, a migration that only creates it), told at
once and hourly until it confirms, as deletions are told: it names a
moment, so sessions made since stay, and the session that asked for a
change. A member answering one ends its sessions made before that
moment; a member signing someone in after a reset ends its own first
and makes the new session only once its clock is past the moment.
A reset not due says when it takes effect (`takesEffectAt` on
`PasswordRefusedException`), across members too.

The register's side of signing in with an address, a password that never
leaves the device (SRP-6a) and a code from an authenticator (ADR 0017),
with members forwarding every step through AccountRegister:
- password.set: salt, Argon2id's costs, SRP's verifier, the public keys
and the private keys wrapped twice, all made on the device; with the
address a mailed code proves, an anonymous person becomes identified
under their ID. It signs in once an authenticator is confirmed.
- passwordSignIn.begin and complete: SRP's two steps with a TOTP or
recovery code. An address nobody has is answered from a decoy key as
an account would be; every wrong credential is refused alike.
- authenticator: secrets sealed under totpKey (XChaCha20-Poly1305, bound
to their row), each code accepted once, ten recovery codes with the
first, the last one kept.
- accountRecovery: a lost authenticator reset 72 hours after the
password and a mailed code or the recovery phrase ask, a lost password
set anew with the phrase's signature, or the account reset with new
keys 72 hours after a mailed code asks; a mail at each start, a
sign-in calling it off.
- An account with a password no longer signs in by a mailed code or
GitHub; no new GitHub account is linked where passwords are offered,
and from GITHUB_SIGN_IN_ENDS GitHub signs nobody in and its IDs go.
Five tables, added by the module's migration; deletePerson deletes
their rows.

halkyon_base runs as the instance's register or as one of its members.
The register keeps the ways in, handles and profiles; members ask it
over HTTP with the instance's shared secret (instanceSecret), and open
sessions of their own for its accounts, under the same account ID.
- AccountsMode from the environment: INSTANCE_MEMBERS on the register,
ACCOUNT_REGISTER_URL on a member. Learn always holds the register
(Explore joins the profiles); Todo is a member where it is set.
- AccountRegister: LocalRegister, RemoteRegister, an in-memory one in
tests. Calls between services on the web server, refused without the
secret (constant-time compare); a server needing it doesn't start
without it.
- Deleting an account deletes it everywhere: notices per member kept in
the deletion's transaction (account_deletion_notice), told at once and
hourly until confirmed; members prune daily whom the register no longer
knows, never while it knows none of them or can't be reached.
- Deploy: INSTANCE_SECRET and INSTANCE_MEMBERS in compose and .env.

People's public profiles are the instance's register's (ADR 0016), so
the module now holds them: the public_profile table (unchanged, so
Learn's migration records versions only; devices get the table empty,
as they hold every module's tables), the profile and profiles
endpoints under `base`, the handle rules, the link checks and the page
at /@handle, whose foot names the app as the host's configuration says
(profilePageNote). Deleting a person deletes their profile in the
module's core.
Hosts read profiles through the module (profileOf, profilesOf,
personWithHandle, fixHandle; saveProfile for their tests), behind an
AccountRegister that is this server's own database for now. Learn's
feedback, discussions and publishing ask it; publishing fixes the
handle just before it writes the release, outside its transaction.
Explore still joins the table in its search, so Learn holds the
register wherever it runs. Learn's app calls the module's endpoints;
a profile not found is ProfileNotFoundException. Todo's database gets
the table too (it was never deployed).

What every Halkyon server has, taken from Halkyon Learn's: anonymous,
GitHub and email-code sign-in with their endpoints, an account's ways
in and its deletion, the pruning of abandoned anonymous people, of
sign-up attempts and of expired codes, and the instance's basics (the
sign-in ways offered, the source link, the minimum app build, where
people's data and its backups are). Endpoints sit under the nickname
`base`. A host configures it in one place before its pod starts: its
name for the mails, its source link, its minimum build, and hooks that
delete its own data with a person.
The tables keep Learn's names, columns and indexes, so a host moving
onto the module migrates nothing but version rows. Server package under
the SSPL, client under the AGPL, as Learn's are.
