Three of the second reading's lows:
- A member waits at most 5 seconds (maxClockSkew) for the register's
moment before making a session after a reset; a clock further behind
is refused at once (unavailable, logged), rather than holding the
request for as long as the clocks differ.
- instanceSecret, which lets a service set passwords and delete accounts
for anyone, stops the server when set shorter than 32 characters, as
the password keys do.
- A change of password, a reset keeping the keys and a new phrase each
write their own columns alone (writeNewPassword, columns: in
setRecoveryKeys), so one made from the row as it was before another
never undoes it.

Nothing tied a sign-in's proof to the instance it was made for: an
instance a person was lured into adding could pass A, M1 and the code on
to the real register and get a session there, and pass a phrase's proof
on with a password of its own in place of the person's (the second
reading's M6). SRP's identity is now a label, the challenge's ID and
the host the device addressed (passwordIdentity, in halkyon_base_client
and halkyon_base_server alike), and the phrase's proof signs that host,
what it is for (an authenticator's reset or a new password) and the new
password's digest (key proof v2). Every proving call carries the host;
in production it must be the server's apiServer.publicHost (otherwise
otherInstance, which the app shows as an instance it can't trust), in
development any; a member forwards its own. The tests prove that a
relayed sign-in, a proof for another host or purpose, and a swapped
password are refused, nothing changing.

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.

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.

ADR 0017, step 3 (D4: nobody signs in with email codes yet, so the
password replaces them outright). `emailCode.verifyCode`,
`emailSignIn.signIn` and the switch token go, with the register's
`verifySignInCode` and `completeEmailSwitch` and their operations
between services. `emailCode.sendCode` stays, now without a session
(signing up and getting back in have none), as what proves an address
for a password's setup, a sign-up, a setup never finished and the
resets; `accountRecovery.sendCode`, which did that for the resets,
goes. The `switchChallengeId` column stays: Serverpod's challenges
still link a completion token, and older servers read it during a
deploy.
The apps: halkyon_app's email sign-in (its bloc, sheet, gateway calls
and the start screen's Continue with email) goes; Learn's profile and
Todo's account sheet show `AccountSecuritySection` (a password set up
by someone anonymous or signing in with GitHub, whose end it names;
the authenticators; changing the password; new recovery codes and
phrase), which reads anew after every change the repository makes.
BREAKING CHANGE: Learn's `minimumAppBuild` is 22: builds up to 21 sign
in with the endpoints that went. Todo was never released and stays at
build 1.

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.

ADR 0017, step 3. Signing up takes an address a mailed code proves and
a password's setup, without a session (`passwordSignIn.signUp`): an
address nobody has becomes a new identified account, and an account
with the address but no password (codes by mail before; no keys exist,
so nothing waits) takes the password, keeping its ID. A setup never
finished signs in with its password and a code mailed to the address it
began with, until an authenticator is confirmed, which also calls off a
reset of the account waiting; any other account takes no code by mail
in place of its second factor and leaves the code unused. A reset of
the whole account waiting no longer counts as having had an
authenticator, so its owner isn't locked out until it completes.
Members forward both through the register; the tests' shared helpers
move into `support/password_support.dart`.

`password.set` replaced a password whenever the account had no confirmed
authenticator, which is also the state an authenticator's or the
account's reset leaves behind; and in that state a code by mail or GitHub
signed in again. So whoever got a session another way could replace the
password and the keys, skipping the reset's 72 hours.
An account had a confirmed authenticator while it has one or a reset of it
stands (`hadConfirmedAuthenticator`: the reset's row stays until a new
authenticator is confirmed). Then `password.set` is refused
(`passwordExists`), and the account signs in with its password alone:
codes by mail and GitHub are refused (`usePassword`), the latter through
`SignInWays.passwordOnly`, which members read from the register.

Enrolling and confirming an authenticator took only a session, so whoever
held one (a stolen token) could add a second factor of their own, then use
its codes to remove the owner's and make new recovery codes.
While the account has a confirmed authenticator, confirming another now
also takes a code from one of those (`existingCode`, each step's code once
as signing in takes it, within the same 10 tries an hour), refused as
`wrongExistingCode`; it is checked only once the new one's code is right,
so a wrong one uses none. The first authenticator, and the first after a
reset carried out, need none. Members forward it to the register.

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.
