A password sign-in whose account carries the warning (a session ended
for ten wrong proofs in a row) shows it before the sign-in is put in
place: when, what it means, and to change the password if it wasn't
the owner. Dismiss clears it on the instance through the held-back
session; Remind me later signs in and keeps it. The account section
shows it above the change of password, with Dismiss, while it stands.
Nothing identifies the session or its device.

The fourth reading's second finding: a stolen session outlived the reset
of the authenticators (carrying it out ended no session) and confirmed
the account's first authenticator on its own code alone, ahead of the
owner, so the owner's confirmation and sign-in were refused after.
- Carrying out a reset of the authenticators ends every session of the
account, on the register at once and on every member by notice, as the
other resets do; the sign-in that carries it out gets its session after
that moment (PasswordProof.sessionsEndedBefore, issueSessionAfter).
- Confirming the first authenticator takes the password's proof for a
change's challenge, without a code (proveOwnersPassword), counted per
session as the owner's proofs are: a session of a lost phone, or of a
setup never finished, claims no second factor.
The app sends the password with every confirmation: the sign-up's, a
reset's and the account section's (which asks for it), and a sign-in's
own unlock where the session is still held back.

The fourth reading's first finding: password.set took a session alone,
so whoever took one made a GitHub-only account, or an address account
without a password, theirs for good (their address or password, their
authenticator; GitHub then refused the owner).
- An account with an address proves it anew: a code mailed to that
address for this (EmailCodePurpose.firstPassword, its own mail), never
the session alone, a code asked for anything else, or another address.
- An account that signs in with GitHub alone does it within 10 minutes of
a GitHub sign-in (the session's method and creation time, where the
session lives; members tell the register), refused signInAgain before
any code is used; the address it adds is proved as before.
- Anonymous people still become identified with a code to the address
they add.
The app mails the code to the person's own address (asking for it where
the device doesn't know it), offers a password right after a GitHub
sign-in (D2's "at their next sign-in") before the person's app, and asks
for a GitHub sign-in anew when the instance refuses an older one, keeping
the code typed.

The app's side of the owner's proof (OwnerProof, the third reading): adding
an authenticator once one is confirmed, removing a confirmed one and new
recovery codes now ask for the current password beside the code, as
changing the password, a new phrase and deleting already did; one
challenge and one answer per sheet (OwnerAnswer). A wrong password or code
reads as the one refusal the instance gives.
Deleting chooses a code by mail from what the instance says
(secondFactorWorks), no longer from whether an authenticator was ever
confirmed: with the authenticators' reset taken effect but not carried
out, the app offered a code field the instance refused (the fourth
finding). Signed-in calls take no address any more, so a device that
doesn't know it changes the password as any other; deleting by mail asks
for the address only where the device doesn't know it, as the code goes
there (the fifth finding).

When a member's clock ran more than its allowance behind the register's,
the session after a reset was refused as unavailable (the re-review's tenth
finding), after the register had already reset the account and ended every
session, and the app read it as "this instance has no password sign-in".
It now has a refusal of its own (passwordChanged): the app says the password
was changed and to sign in again with the new one.

An account whose setup never finished, or whose authenticators' reset took
effect, could not delete itself (the re-review's eighth finding): deletion
asked for a TOTP or recovery code it had no way to give. Such an account
now deletes itself with the password's proof and a code by mail to its
address asked for deleting (EmailCodePurpose.deletion, which nothing else
takes), the address checked against the account's as everywhere after the
password; an account whose second factor works still takes a code from it.
The app's deletion sheet asks for the password and mails the code there,
then takes it.

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.

Whoever guessed codes decided whether the owner was mailed (the re-review's
fourth finding): the address a sign-in sent was optional, so a guesser left
it out and no mail went, and a wait begun without a mail used up the one
mail there was. Every call carrying a code after the password or the phrase
proved (signing in, the phrase's reset, a change of password, a new phrase,
deletion) now takes the account's address and the language of its mails,
and is refused (wrongCredentials, as anything wrong after the password)
before any code is checked when the address isn't the account's; every
wait mails the owner, not only the first. The app sends the address the
person typed, or for changes while signed in the one this device signed in
with, and says so where it doesn't know it (addressUnknown).

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.

A session alone deleted any account, with everything encrypted under its
keys (the second reading's lows; decided by the developer: the password
and a code, as a change of password takes). account.delete now takes a
DeletionProof (the password's SRP proof for a beginChange challenge, a
TOTP or recovery code, the host the device addressed); the register
checks it (requireOwnerToDelete), a member passing it on bound to its own
host. Accounts without a password, anonymous ones among them, delete with
their session as before. In the app, deleting an account with a password
asks for it and a code in a sheet of its own; a wrong one deletes
nothing.

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"

The register can't check a password it never sees, and should its
database leak, the verifier and the keys wrapped under the password fall
to guessing at Argon2id's cost (the second reading's M8). Devices now
refuse a new password shorter than 12 characters, counted as code points
once normalised (halkyon_keys' checkNewPassword), at sign-up, a reset
keeping the keys and a change alike, before anything is derived; the new
password's field says so, and the refusal has its own text (en, de).
Signing in takes any length, so a password set before keeps working.

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.

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

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

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.

on halkyon_app's fakes: signing in with a code (a wrong one refused
alike), an account never finished signing in with a code by mail and

three of its words checked before anything reaches the instance), the
recovery phrase getting back in, and the account section (a password

ADR 0017, step 3: halkyon_app's side, which Learn and Todo take.
- The account's cryptography on the device (`SodiumAccountCrypto`):
halkyon_keys and SRP's client half, each step on an isolate of its
own. sodium hands out results as views of native memory its
finalizers free once the isolate that made them ends, so everything
crossing back is copied first: a view read freed memory and crashed
the process.
- `PasswordGateway` on the module's endpoints (steps without a session
through a client holding none; an authenticator set up with a session
granted but not yet the device's), and `PasswordRepository` running
the flows: signing in (M2 checked, the keys opened before anything is
trusted), signing up, a password for someone signed in, an account
never finished, the authenticators, recovery codes, changing the
password, a new recovery phrase, and getting back in.
- The unlocked keys in the system's keyring per instance and person
(`SecureAccountKeyStore`), gone once another person signs in or
nobody, and with the instance's removal.
- The screens: the start screen's Sign in and Create an account (and
when GitHub sign-in ends), the sign-in sheet (codes, recovery codes,
an account never finished, a lost authenticator), the account's setup
(the recovery phrase shown once, three random words typed back before
anything reaches the instance; the authenticator's QR code, drawn
with pub.dev's qr; the recovery codes), getting back in, and the
account section (`AccountSecuritySection`).
- `FileSaver` moves from Learn into halkyon_app, for the phrase and the
codes in Todo too; `AppDependencies` names it and `passwords`.
- halkyon_keys rebuilds account keys from the secret keys a device kept;
the key proof's message is in halkyon_base_client, checked against
the register's.
