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.
