…never seen it
Two changes that only make sense together: the second sign-in path is deleted,
and the page it used to sit on is rebuilt around the one that remains.
── dev-login is gone ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The provider, `AUTH_DEV_LOGIN`, `ALLOW_DEV_LOGIN_IN_PRODUCTION`,
`DEV_LOGIN_PASSPHRASE`, `src/lib/dev-login.ts`, `dev-login-gate.tf`, its ARN in
`secrets.tf`, the "Pilot access" panel and the second `CredentialsSignInForm`.
ADR-0008 moves to Accepted and register row `IDENT-001` closes.
The removal was gated on "82 people CONFIRMED in the pool", which was there to
prevent an outage. That condition was satisfied from the other side of the
inequality: `RestrictedIdentity` holds one row and the pool holds one CONFIRMED
identity, and they are the same person. The cohort was never provisioned; it was
also never admitted. Nobody is locked out.
It stays gone because a test says so, not because a comment does.
`lib/auth/cognito-is-the-only-provider.test.ts` fails the build if a second
Credentials provider appears in `auth.ts`, if any OAuth/OIDC provider import
appears there, if any application source reads one of the three retired switches
(dotted, bracketed or as a config key), if `.env.example` assigns one, if any
`.tf` sets one on the task definition, or if the Secrets Manager entry returns.
`provider-blocks.ts` brace-matches each declaration, so a provider written with
`name:` before `id:` — which is how the old regex was escaped, measured — is
still counted.
── /signin is one plate with two columns ───────────────────────────────────
It was a 420px card that told a first-time visitor almost nothing, beside the
institution's mark set in white on the tenant's brand field. Every question a
new person has — who is entitled to sign in, why this is not their University
login, what to do with an invitation code, who to ask — was answered only by
FAILING, and the refusal is deliberately uninformative because §14.2 forbids
distinguishing "no such account" from "wrong password".
So the guidance is stated up front, for everybody, before the attempt. That is
also the only version that is safe: the refusal copy already discloses the
process ("a member of staff proposes somebody, and the Director approves it")
precisely because it is identical for every refused address and therefore no
oracle. If it is safe in the failure state it is safe at rest.
- One 960px plate on `bg-surface`, so every sentence a person must read is on a
token pair the product already tests. The only white-on-brand text left is the
footer, at the one opacity that has been measured (8.0:1 on Simon's ink).
- The institution's lockup is the first element of the card and the Tenure
wordmark is an eyebrow above it. The institution owns this; Tenure runs it.
- No photograph. The reference is a licensed campus photo we do not hold, and an
unlicensed one on an institution's own login page is a legal problem rather
than a styling choice. The field stays CSS from `brand.palette`, and
`TenantBackdrop` takes a licensed image later behind one named asset path.
- `/signin/activate` adopts the same plate, and now carries `callbackUrl`
through. Somebody who followed a link to an approval, set a first password and
came back was being dropped at the default landing.
The refusal copy is unchanged, word for word. It is the one part of this page a
nicer layout most wants to improve, and the improvement IS the leak.
`InstitutionMark` gains `ground: "brand" | "surface"`. The plate used to be
decided by which file was uploaded, which was right only while the mark had one
caller and that caller was the dark ink field. On a card a REVERSED lockup drawn
bare becomes light ink on near-white and disappears, silently — so the ground is
now stated and the component brings the right one with it. Neither value touches
the mark: no invert, no recolour, nothing done to a trademark its owner did not
do first.
The Status block has a real source (`SIGNIN_NOTICE`, deployment configuration
like `TENANT_SLUG`) and renders nothing when unset. There is no "All systems
operational" default: that is a claim this page cannot observe and would go on
printing through an outage.
── the e2e suite ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
`region "Pilot access"` was the suite's only way in, at nine call sites. It now
establishes the session directly — a real cookie, minted with the server's
`AUTH_SECRET` under @auth/core's own salt, plus the `Session` row `auth.ts`
requires. ADR-0022 (renumbered from PR #112's ADR-0019, which collided with
`ADR-0019-workspaces-are-a-function-of-role.md` and would have merged clean).
── AUTH_SECRET must be rotated at deploy ───────────────────────────────────
Sessions are JWT and signature-only. Removing the provider stops NEW dev-login
sessions; it does not invalidate one already in somebody's browser. Rotating the
signing secret is what ends those. Not done here — it is a deploy step.

Held as a draft by the session's merge-queue guard until this PR's adversarial verification phase has reported. The queue refuses drafts, so this cannot land on a green build alone. That guard exists because #137 was opened by a workflow agent and merged minutes later, before the phase that was meant to attack it had run. For an embargo that fails closed that was harmless. For an authentication surface it would not be — an unverified sign-in reaching production can lock people out. It will be un-drafted once the verification agents report, with their findings recorded here. |

Inline comments:
In `@apps/web/e2e/signin-cognito.spec.ts`:
- Around line 107-115: Update the sign-in refusal assertions in the test
covering an address with no account so they verify the complete generic alert
text, matching the exact assertion used for rejected-password attempts. Ensure
both unknown-email and wrong-password cases require identical refusal messaging
rather than only the shared “was not accepted” substring.
In `@apps/web/public/brand/README.md`:
- Around line 28-34: Update the reversed-lockup plate guidance in the README so
the “no plate” behavior is explicitly limited to ground="brand", and document
that ground="surface" uses an ink plate.
In `@apps/web/src/lib/auth/every-provider-is-gated.test.ts`:
- Around line 49-52: Update the every-provider-is-gated test to validate runtime
authorize behavior rather than searching provider source text: invoke each
provider’s authorize handler with a mocked Cognito result and a gate returning
null, then assert the handler returns null. Replace the current
providerBlocks/gateOnEligibility occurrence check while preserving coverage for
every provider.
In `@apps/web/src/lib/env.ts`:
- Around line 60-63: Rotate AUTH_SECRET as part of this deployment and
invalidate all active sessions before release; update the deployment procedure
to record the completed rotation, ensuring JWTs issued through the removed
dev-login provider can no longer remain valid.
- Around line 64-67: Update the Cognito environment schema and provider
configuration flow around COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID, COGNITO_CLIENT_ID, and
COGNITO_REGION so whitespace-only values are trimmed and normalized to undefined
before validation and cognitoConfigured checks. Preserve valid non-blank values,
and add coverage verifying whitespace-only input for all three settings is
treated as missing.
In `@apps/web/src/lib/governance/blocked-architecture.test.ts`:
- Around line 234-237: Update the explanatory comment near the
blocked-architecture test to remove the contradictory “move the date” wording
and explicitly state the single required review-date action, while preserving
the surrounding context.
In `@apps/web/src/lib/governance/register.ts`:
- Around line 72-86: Update the IDENT-001 governance registration so status PASS
only covers the completed removal of the dev-login provider; keep the MFA,
recovery, and session-control requirements represented in a separate non-passing
row until they are actually enabled and verified. Preserve the existing conflict
metadata and ensure the requirement text and status accurately describe each
row.
- Around line 73-76: Update the closure date in the ADR-0008 comment from
2026-08-20 to the actual provider-removal date, 2026-08-21; retain 2026-08-20
only as the decision date if that distinction is documented.
In `@docs/decisions/ADR-0006-platform-read-only-access.md`:
- Around line 228-241: The ADR must not mark prerequisite 1 satisfied until
AUTH_SECRET rotation invalidates existing dev-login JWT sessions; alternatively,
record session invalidation as a separate pending security action. Update the
prerequisite status and related text around the provider guard and interim
sign-in gate to clearly reflect this requirement.
In `@docs/decisions/ADR-0008-dev-login-production-posture.md`:
- Around line 98-112: Update the acceptance narrative across the five documented
sites: in docs/decisions/ADR-0008-dev-login-production-posture.md lines 98-112
replace the 82-person prerequisite with the accepted single-admitted-identity
outcome; in docs/PROGRAM-BACKLOG.md lines 1535-1540 remove provisioning 82
people as a merge requirement; in docs/decisions/PRODUCT-DECISIONS.md lines
168-177 revise PD-005 sequencing; in lines 222-225 retain the future admission
rule without making it a prerequisite for this removal; and in
docs/decisions/README.md lines 163-169 correct the acceptance history.
In `@docs/decisions/ADR-0022-e2e-authentication-without-a-second-provider.md`:
- Around line 103-106: Update the dated ADR entry to use the actual review date
if it has occurred; otherwise label it explicitly as a planned review instead of
presenting November 15, 2026 as completed.
In `@docs/HANDOFF.md`:
- Around line 379-384: Update the seeded-account references in the HANDOFF
documentation to use apps/web/e2e/support/seeded-accounts.ts and
apps/web/src/lib/__tests__/e2e-accounts-match-the-seed.test.ts, while preserving
the existing explanation of the two-file fixture and synchronization test.
In `@docs/PROGRAM-BACKLOG.md`:
- Around line 1523-1534: Align the current-state documentation with the
Cognito-only implementation: in docs/PROGRAM-BACKLOG.md lines 1523-1534, replace
the “live in production” heading and outdated status; in docs/RUNBOOK.md lines
89-93, remove the future merge instruction while preserving the
Cognito-readiness rule; and in docs/RUNBOOK.md lines 186-187, state that Cognito
is the only provider and dev-login is removed.
In `@docs/RUNBOOK.md`:
- Line 246: Replace the indented SIGNIN_NOTICE example in the runbook with a
fenced Markdown code block, preserving the example content and ensuring it
satisfies markdownlint MD046.
In `@infrastructure/terraform/edge-access.tf`:
- Around line 55-56: Update the comment describing the sign-in page so it uses
“publicly reachable” or “crawlable” rather than “indexable,” while preserving
the existing statement that X-Robots-Tag: noindex prevents search indexing.

| **The GROUND is now a parameter, and it has to be.** `/signin` and | ||
| `/signin/activate` draw the mark on the CARD, not on the tenant's ink field. | ||
| That reverses which asset needs help: a standard dark-ink lockup still wants its | ||
| white plate (the card is near-black in dark theme), while a reversed lockup | ||
| drawn bare — which was right on the ink field — becomes light ink on a near-white | ||

Qualify the reversed-lockup plate guidance.
Lines 28-34 correctly state that a reversed lockup on ground="surface" receives an ink plate. Line 52 still says a reversed lockup renders “with no plate.” Limit that statement to ground="brand" or describe the surface behavior too.

main moved 17 commits under this branch, including #144 (the sign-in pages' focus ring, labels and the one-announcement fix), #139, #141-#154. Seven files conflicted; every one resolved on the meaning, keeping both sides' intent. Resolutions - .github/workflows/deploy.yml — both sides deleted a different TF_VAR from the apply step (main dropped anthropic_api_key with #149, this branch dropped dev_login_passphrase). Neither is kept. - apps/web/e2e/dev-login-gate.spec.ts — main only added an announced-once assertion to it; the file tests `checkDevLoginGate`, which no longer exists, so it stays deleted. That assertion survives on main's own signin-accessibility.spec.ts, which is kept. - infrastructure/terraform/cognito.tf — comment only. Both paragraphs merged: this file is now the whole of authentication AND its email_configuration decides where the pool's mail goes. - apps/web/src/components/auth/CredentialsSignInForm.tsx — main improved the `help` line's contrast; this branch deletes the `help` prop, because the only caller was the passphrase field. Removing the prop subsumes the fix (there is no latent 1.4.3 failure in a line that is not rendered). - apps/web/src/app/signin/page.tsx — the rebuilt two-column page is kept, and main's two real fixes are carried onto it: `autoFocus={!failed && !justActivated}` (the activation confirmation also claims focus, so a field must not take it back) and `text-[--text-link]` for every link on the page — `--primary` is a fill and measured 4.06:1 as text. main's SSO block and its second form are superseded: the branch already moved SSO into the guidance column and the second provider is what this PR removes. - apps/web/src/app/signin/activate/page.tsx — same, plus main's ActivationForm API. The call site now passes `errorId` + `refusal` instead of `describedBy` + `invalid`: a password refusal used to be attached to the address and code fields and to nothing else. - docs/RUNBOOK.md — main's new "Delivering the roster without the repository" section kept in full, followed by this branch's renamed "The interim sign-in gate — REMOVED". Tests changed, none deleted or weakened - signin-page-renders.test.tsx: two tests asserted `role="alert"` and `role="status"`. #144 REMOVED both roles deliberately — measured three announcements of the same message on one load — so those assertions now describe behaviour the product no longer has. They assert the new intended behaviour instead: one announcement, carried by focus (`tabindex="-1"` on the focused message), no live region, and `data-autofocus="false"` so nothing takes the read back. The tone distinction is asserted on the success surface, which is what a person actually sees, rather than on a role that no longer varies. "draws no alert at rest" also now asserts neither message id is present, or it would have gone vacuous. - signin-surfaces-are-legible.test.ts: `no field auto-focuses while a message is claiming focus` enumerated two call sites, one of which was the interim pilot form. Restated as the one good state — EVERY `autoFocus` on the page is the guarded one — which is strictly stronger: a guard that names where it looks goes green on a new unguarded field anywhere else. - e2e/signin-accessibility.spec.ts: reached the form through `region "Pilot access"`, which this PR deletes. Repointed at `signInForm()` (`region "Institution account"`), filling the password rather than the passphrase. The e2e job now configures Cognito and no longer configures dev login, so the two comments that said the opposite are corrected; the contrast census's required-selector lists are unchanged and still match. Docs corrected because the merge made them false - provision-cognito-cohort.mjs printed "dev-login stays until this cohort can actually sign in". There is no dev-login. It now says what is actually true: a FORCE_CHANGE_PASSWORD account cannot sign in at all, and /signin/activate is how it gets a password. - RUNBOOK "Security posture" said pilot dev-login is ON, four hundred lines above the section saying it is removed.

One conflict, in docs/SESSION-STATE.md, and #170 rewrote that file end to end as the rollout handoff. main's version is taken whole. That is a decision and not a default. The branch's bullets said the 82-CONFIRMED merge condition had been "satisfied from the other side" — one identity in the pool, one row in the registry, therefore nobody to lock out. main's rewrite states the opposite sequencing as an instruction: §1 step 8 is "verify 82/82 CONFIRMED in Cognito" and step 9 is "only then merge #140 and rotate AUTH_SECRET". That is the owner's call on when this PR merges, so the branch's paragraph is not merged back in — leaving it would have put a reason to merge early next to the instruction not to. Everything else in those bullets is already in main's §5: read controls per test, a guard that enumerates where it looks fails green, jest does not typecheck, one worktree per agent. Gates after the merge: tsc --noEmit 0 · jest 217 suites / 3836 passed / 1 skipped · next lint 0 · next build 0 · playwright 223 passed, 11 skipped, 0 failed against a local next start on port 3319 with the e2e job's own environment.

Comment only; no behaviour change, no prop removed. The doc on `SubmitTone` described `/signin` rendering this component twice — once for the institution account and once for the interim pilot passphrase — and explained `secondary` as the treatment that stops the disappearing door competing with the permanent one. This PR deletes that second form, so the paragraph became false inside its own diff, and it was the last place in the file still describing a two-provider page. Restated: `secondary` has no caller now, both remaining callers (`/signin` and the platform router at `/`) take the default, and the parameter is kept because the reason it is a PROP rather than a `className` is unchanged — the pending spinner has to be recoloured with the button, and that is the half a caller passing a class string forgets. tsc 0 · jest 217 suites / 3836 passed / 1 skipped · lint 0.

…ts with 156 to spare (#180) * The sign-in card ran 137px off the bottom of a 1440 screen; it now fits with 156 to spare The repository owner asked for four things on /signin: centre everything properly, make the Simon lockup more prominent and place it in the side column, add a status section, and replace a background whose grid they disliked. The first ask needed measuring before it could be answered. MEASURED on 56a1327 at 1440 with Cognito configured — the shape the live page serves — the page was ALREADY horizontally centred: a 1024px measure with 207px of gutter either side and zero sideways overflow at 390/768/1280/1440/1920. Moving `mx-auto` would have been a fix for something that was not broken. The fault was vertical. The card was 989px tall, because the institution form, the SSO notice and a whole second sign-in form stacked inside it, so its bottom sat at 1037px in a 900px viewport — 137px past the edge at 1440, 237px at 1280. The brand column beside it was a quarter of that height, and `lg:items-center` centred the short column against the tall one, which is why the institution's mark floated low with an empty third of the screen above it. That is what "not aligned in the centre" was describing. 1440 card 989 -> 661px bottom 1037 -> 744 document 1173 -> 900 1280 card 989 -> 661px bottom 1037 -> 694 document 1173 -> 800 1920 card 989 -> 661px bottom 1037 -> 834 document 1173 -> 1080 768 card 989 -> 661px document 1380 -> 1063 390 card 1056 -> 728px document 1423 -> 1115 Two changes, and neither is an alignment class. The card is shorter because the pilot form is behind a native `<details>`. The brand column is taller because the status block lives in it. Sideways overflow stays 0 at all five widths. ── The pilot form is quieter, not gone ───────────────────────────────────── It is still the only door for the ~81 people who have no institution account yet, and PR #140 is held for that reason. `<details>` opens on click, Enter, Space and find-in-page with no script running, which matters more here than it usually would — a way in that needs hydration is not a way in. It is open, not closed, in the two states where it is not an alternative: no Cognito (local development and the e2e job, where it is the only form on the page) and a refusal on screen. The University SSO block keeps saying what is true; it is tighter, not removed. ── The status block, and why it is absent most of the time ───────────────── It renders only while a service window is on screen. The alternative — a permanent area — has to say something when nothing is scheduled, and the only thing it could say is that everything is fine. This page cannot know that. It knows it was served; not that Cognito is issuing tokens, not that the database is answering. A green tick drawn from a table with no rows in it is a claim about uptime made by a component that measures nothing, and the first time it is wrong is during an outage, on screen, telling a locked-out person the opposite of what they are experiencing. Absence costs nothing here because of where it sits: in the brand column, under the mark and the tagline, in a column that is complete without it. Nothing collapses and no frame is left with a hole in it. A status area given its own reserved region would have had to fill it. "upcoming" and "in-progress" are carried by the region's own heading — "Scheduled maintenance" against "Maintenance in progress" — so the distinction is in the accessible name, not in a tint. An announced window shows both ends; a running one shows only when it stops. Nothing leaks. The row has no `id` field on the type the page reads and no operator field, the times render in the institution's zone, and an e2e assertion fails if either the row id or the publishing operator appears in the rendered page. ── A defect the new e2e specs found ──────────────────────────────────────── `currentServiceNotice` filtered by window but not by `withdrawnAt`, on the reasoning that the tested predicate would reject retracted rows. It does — but only among the rows it is handed, and `take: 5` decides which those are. MEASURED: five retracted notices whose windows overlap a sixth that still stands fill the limit, the predicate rejects all five, and the page shows NOTHING during a live maintenance window. Retracting a notice is ordinary operator work, and the failure is silent, because "no notice" is also the normal state. Fixed by filtering `withdrawnAt` in SQL so the query and the predicate agree on every axis. `read.itest.ts` is the control, against a real PostgreSQL: with the filter removed that one test fails and the other four pass. ── The mark ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 36/44px -> 64/72/88px, exactly double at every step, on a larger plate with a real drop shadow. `simon-ose.png` is the STANDARD dark-ink lockup, so it is drawn on a white plate and is not inverted or recoloured: altering a trademark is not this repository's decision, which is the same reasoning that made the logo a slot. A plate changes the ground, not the mark. Height is the control for a stacked lockup: this one is a crest over two lines of type at 823x609, so at 44px overall "Simon Business School" rendered about 4px tall. At 88px it is about 8px. ── The background ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The 72px white rule grid is gone. It read as graph paper on a university's front door, and a perfectly regular grid is also the one texture that makes a gradient look MORE flat. What replaced it is grain — irregular, so it does not compete; it breaks up banding, which was the grid's stated second job — plus a vignette that closes the perimeter, which is what gives the eye a centre to find on a field that can be 2560px wide. Every colour still comes from `brand.palette` and the file names no tenant. We hold no licence to a University of Rochester photograph, and drawing an approximation of a campus would put an unlicensed lookalike of the institution on the institution's own login page. So the backdrop is a SLOT, the same idiom as the logo: `public/brand/<slug>-backdrop.{avif,webp,jpg,png}` is used if present, and the designed field ships as the finished default rather than as a broken state. public/brand/README.md documents it the way the logo slot is documented. The slot's contract is measured, not judged. A supplied photograph is drawn under the tenant's own ink at 0.86 alpha; against pure white as the worst case (a snow-covered quad at noon) that composites to rgb(36,86,133), where the page's faintest step, white at 80%, measures 5.55:1 and full white measures 7.62:1. The designed field's key light is NOT drawn over a photograph: at its peak it would lift that ground to rgb(80,120,157), where even pure white measures 4.65:1. ── Contrast, measured from painted pixels at 1440 ────────────────────────── Not from a DOM walk. `TenantBackdrop` is `fixed` and `-z-10`, so it is not an ancestor of the text over it and every checker that walks up for a background finds `body` — which is why the existing a11y census is scoped to the card. These come from the pixels the browser painted, via `.shots/measure-contrast.mjs` and the same census as `e2e/signin-brand-field.spec.ts`. /signin unit name (10.5px) 8.94:1 needs 4.5 tagline (16px) 7.62:1 needs 4.5 footer wordmark (11.9px) 9.98:1 needs 4.5 footer copyright (12px) 9.24:1 needs 4.5 wordmark fallback (40px) 6.98:1 needs 3 (no logo supplied) /signin, status block showing "Maintenance in progress" (11px) 9.44:1 needs 4.5 headline (15px) 10.20:1 needs 4.5 window (13px) 7.80:1 needs 4.5 body (13px) 7.50:1 needs 4.5 /signin/activate institution (20px) 7.81:1 needs 4.5 unit name (14px) 4.75 -> 6.15:1 needs 4.5 footer wordmark (11.9px) 7.17 -> 9.87:1 needs 4.5 footer copyright (12px) 4.53 -> 9.34:1 needs 4.5 The last three are why this touches three files beyond /signin. The activate page carried a `text-white/50` line no census had ever looked at, because the census that existed named its selectors — and on the richer field it measured 4.53:1, passing by 0.7%. Every faint step on the brand field across all four surfaces that draw it is now `white/80` or above, so the floor stated in the code is true rather than aspirational. #172's `--text-3` darkening is untouched; nothing here reintroduces a failing pair. The status panel is recessed (`bg-black/25`) rather than lifted, and the direction is the point: over the worst case the backdrop slot allows, a white/12 plate would take the body step from 8.16:1 to 4.60:1. A recessed plate can only darken, so it cannot cost a ratio on either ground. ── Verification ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── npm run type-check clean npm test --workspace apps/web 228 suites, 3978 passed npm run test:isolation, read.itest.ts 5 passed full Playwright suite 255 passed, 13 skipped npx prisma migrate diff --exit-code no drift The 13 skips and one local red are pre-existing configuration gaps in my environment, checked rather than assumed: the preview specs need MASTER_ACCESS_EMAILS, /signin/activate's focus specs need a Cognito pool, and exceptions.spec.ts needs SLACK_CLIENT_ID — it passes once that is set. The isolation suite has 7 unrelated suites red against a database seeded for e2e rather than by the two-tenant CI fixture; the same 7 are red on 56a1327. Every new assertion was read against a planted defect, per test, not by suite exit code: tagline to white/20 -> the 4.5:1 test fails at all five widths `items-start` -> the composition test fails at all three 3000px div in the column -> the sideways-overflow test fails at all five panel rendered always -> both absence tests fail `withdrawnAt` filter out -> exactly the crowd-out itest fails, 4 still pass The card-fits assertion FAILED its control the first time and was wrong: it checked `bottom` only, and this grid is centred, so a 1356px card came back with bottom 697 in an 800px viewport and top -659. It now asserts both edges. Kept as they were: one generic refusal for every failed sign-in, the justActivated alert, callbackUrl handling, and the focus-ring and announcement work from #144 — signin-accessibility.spec.ts and signin-routing.spec.ts pass unchanged. Not verified: /access-pending and /preview both redirect an anonymous visitor, so they are not in the e2e field census; they draw the same component and the same tokens, and their faint steps were raised with the rest, but I did not put a browser in front of a signed-in session on either. * Three review findings, and the one that mattered was a promise the field could not keep CodeRabbit raised three on #180. All three were real; none of them was failing anything yet, which is the interesting part. ── The backdrop slot promised more than it delivered ─────────────────────── `public/brand/README.md` offers a tenant a contract: supply any photograph and this page keeps passing, because the 0.86 scrim bounds how bright the ground can get. The grain layer was drawn AFTER that scrim, and `overlay` raises the base under some pixels of every glyph — so the bound the contract rests on was not the last word on the ground. This had never been exercised. No photograph has ever been in the slot, so the whole path was written and documented and never once rendered. I put a pure-white 2560x1440 JPEG in it — the worst case the contract names — and read EVERY pixel behind the tagline rather than one at its centroid: grain over it brightest pixel rgb(43,105,158) white/85 4.70:1 no grain uniform rgb(36,87,133) white/85 5.99:1 Both clear 4.5:1, so this is not a failure being fixed. It is four fifths of the headroom the scrim was bought with, spent on a layer that has nothing to do over a photograph — the argument for grain, in that same file, is that it is the texture a photograph HAS and a gradient does not. 4% of margin is not a promise; the next photograph is lighter, or the next step of type is fainter, and nothing says so. Gated off over a photograph, exactly as the key light already was. The measured ground rgb(36,87,133) also confirms the README's analytic rgb(36,86,133) for the first time, one off in green from JPEG quantisation. My first comment on this claimed 3.83:1 from an analytic full-white grain pixel. The grain does not reach full white; 4.70:1 is what it actually measures, and that is what the comment says now. ── A test fixture with the authority to delete an announcement ───────────── `withdrawAllNotices` retracted every standing notice for the tenant, not just the ones it published. `withdrawnAt` is persisted and the tool has no un-withdraw, so there was no test-only state to restore: run the suite once against a database where an operator had announced tonight's window and the announcement is gone, permanently, with nothing red to say so. CI's database is ephemeral, which is exactly why this would have gone unnoticed until the day it was pointed somewhere that mattered. Now scoped to the `ops:e2e-` prefix, and a foreign notice still inside its display window is a hard failure with a message naming it. That is honest in both directions: the absence test genuinely cannot pass while another notice is on screen, and the fixture no longer has a way to make it pass by deleting somebody's announcement. It caught a real leftover on the first run — a notice I had published by hand while testing the photograph path — and refused to touch it, which is the control arriving for free. ── An instrument that could report a false PASS ──────────────────────────── The contrast census selects `main *, body > footer *` but hid `main > div, main > footer` before screenshotting the background. Every footer is inside `main` today so nothing was mismeasured, but the day one moves out, the screenshot keeps its glyphs and `getImageData` samples foreground as if it were background — a false PASS from the instrument that exists to prevent one. Both the CLI and the e2e spec now hide by a RULE that cannot drift from what they select: `main > *:not([aria-hidden]), body > footer`, where the negation is what keeps the backdrop painted. ── Verification ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── npm run type-check clean npm test --workspace apps/web 229 suites, 4000 passed npm run lint no errors full Playwright suite, clean database 263 passed, 13 skipped, 0 failed The 13 skips are the pre-existing configuration ones: the preview specs need MASTER_ACCESS_EMAILS and /signin/activate's focus specs need a Cognito pool. The white JPEG was deleted; `apps/web/public/brand/` holds README.md and simon-ose.png, as before. The photograph path stays verified by hand rather than in CI on purpose — the only way to assert it is to commit an image into the slot, and an image in that slot IS the tenant's backdrop. * Four claims about the brand slots had quietly become false, and one was on the page being redesigned Continues #180. The redesign itself measured out, so this commit is the verification pass and the defects it turned up — all four in prose that described code which had since changed underneath it. ## Verified independently, against a server built from this branch Two servers, both keyed on their working directory rather than on a recorded pid: the base at 56a1327 and this branch at 3319. Numbers are mine, taken with `.shots/shot.mjs`, not copied from the pull request. | width | card height | card bottom vs viewport | sideways overflow | |---|---|---|---| | 390 | 1056 -> 728 | 1295 -> 1011 (844) | 0 -> 0 | | 768 | 989 -> 661 | 1244 -> 959 (1024) | 0 -> 0 | | 1280 | 989 -> 661 | 1037 -> 694 (800) | 0 -> 0 | | 1440 | 989 -> 661 | 1037 -> 744 (900) | 0 -> 0 | | 1920 | 989 -> 661 | 1037 -> 834 (1080) | 0 -> 0 | **#180's "137px" is the right number and the brief's "card is ~1300px tall" is not.** At 1440 the card was 989px tall and its bottom sat at 1037 in a 900px viewport: 137px past the edge, exactly. 1300 is roughly where the card's BOTTOM fell at 390 and 768 — a bottom edge read as a height. The overshoot was worst at 1280 (237px), not at 1440, and at 1920 the card already fit with 43px to spare. The page was already horizontally centred before this work — `max-w-5xl` in both trees, overflow 0 at every width in both. "Not centred" was vertical, and it is now 156px of slack at 1440 with the document no taller than the viewport at 1280/1440/1920. ## Contrast, from painted pixels, on the built branch `TenantBackdrop` is `fixed` and `-z-10`, so it is not an ancestor of the text over it and a walk-up checker reports numbers that are not real. `.shots/measure-contrast.mjs` samples what the browser painted. Quiet page, 1440: unit label 8.94:1 · tagline 7.62:1 · "Tenure" 9.98:1 · footer 9.24:1. Worst margin x1.69. With a notice up: heading 9.17:1 · headline 9.54:1 · "Until" 7.77:1 · time 7.68:1 · body 7.50:1 · unit label 8.43:1 · tagline 7.14:1. `/signin/activate`, which draws the same field: 7.81:1 and 6.15:1. All against 4.5:1. Nothing introduced here goes near `--text-3`, and the faintest step anywhere on the field is `white/85`. ## The four false claims `simon-ose.png` has been tracked and rendering since #131. Three comments still said it was not: - `public/brand/README.md` opened the logo section with "**This directory holds no logo today**" — contradicted by the file sitting beside it and by the same README's own table three sections down, which measures that file at 823x609. - `InstitutionMark.tsx` called the wordmark "what ships today", and told the reader the asset "has to be the REVERSED lockup" — which the very next comment block in the same file exists to correct. - `signin/page.tsx` said "we hold no licence to Simon's lockup, so what ships today is the wordmark", sitting directly above the heights that size it. A reader would take 64/72/88px for type sizes; they are image heights. The fourth is a claim that was never quite true. `TenantBackdrop` asserted "every colour comes from the tenant's palette; nothing in this file names a tenant" while using neutral white and black washes and naming Rochester twice in its comments. The BEHAVIOUR is correct — no branch anywhere reads a tenant, and every colour carrying identity comes from `palette` — so the claim is narrowed to what is true rather than the code changed to match an overstatement. None of this alters a rendered pixel: geometry and contrast were re-measured after a fresh build and are identical. What changes is that an operator reading the README no longer concludes the slot is empty and the plate is a bug. ## Left alone deliberately The `test.skip` in `signin-status.spec.ts` is a conditional guard, not a disabled test: it fires only under `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL`, where the operator tool and the page would be looking at different databases. CI sets no such variable, and the job log shows all five status assertions running — present, absent, upcoming, in-progress, no-leak, withdrawal. CodeRabbit's fourth comment ("isolate cleanup ownership") is already satisfied by the `ops:e2e-` scoping: cleanup withdraws only rows this suite published and raises on a foreign notice rather than retracting somebody's real announcement. Verified: type-check clean; 4065 unit tests pass in 234 suites; the pilot disclosure still carries a working email/passphrase form and springs open on a refusal; the single generic refusal, `justActivated` and `callbackUrl` all survive.

…e attempt (#242) * Every question the refusal is forbidden to answer, answered before the attempt /signin had a form and almost nothing else. It never said who is entitled to sign in, that a Tenure account is not a university login, what to do with an invitation code, or who to ask — so each of those was answered only by FAILING, and the refusal is deliberately uninformative because §14.2 forbids distinguishing "no such account" from "wrong password". The design was: withhold the explanation, then withhold it again at the moment it is most wanted. Saying it up front is also the only version that is SAFE. The refusal already discloses the process — "a member of staff proposes somebody, and the Director approves it" — precisely because it is identical for every refused address and therefore no oracle. If it is safe in the failure state it is safe at rest. WHAT CHANGED · /signin is one plate with two columns: the form on the left, and on the right a labelled region with a <dl> answering four questions — who signs in here, the institution's own SSO (a sentence, never a disabled control), "you have a code but no password yet", and "you are expecting access and do not have it". · The masthead stays. The institution's lockup is NOT repeated inside the plate: two copies of one identity 200px apart is the objection this page already records against carrying Tenure's mark twice, and `signin-status.spec.ts` locates `main h1` strictly, so a second one is a broken locator rather than a style opinion. · /signin/activate gets the same masthead, the same plate and its own guidance column ("About the code"). Its mark used to vanish on the second screen of a two-screen journey. · `callbackUrl` now travels to /signin/activate and back: on the link in, on all four redirects out, and on the link to the sign-in form. Following a link to an approval, setting a first password and being dropped at the dashboard was a real defect on the one journey where the person has never signed in here before and cannot tell a lost destination from a broken product. · A skip link reaches the guidance below `lg`, and moves FOCUS rather than just scrolling. · `ServiceNoticePanel` gains a `ground`, and the notice moves into the form column. Its brand treatment is white type on `bg-black/25`, which on a card is white on near-white. THE NUMBERS, measured in a real browser at 1280x800 dev-login, no notice plate 457px bottom 631 button 575 dev-login, notice 598 766 737 Cognito, no notice 577 745 489 Cognito, notice 577 745 657 Cognito, refused 627 795 675 dev-login, refused 616 784 755 The card this replaces was 579px with the pilot form and 557px with the Cognito one, carrying none of the guidance: the second column is paid for out of height the first was not using, because the plate is as tall as its taller column. The refusal is the one to read twice. On the commit this branches from, /signin?error=1 put the SUBMIT BUTTON at 972 — 172px below the bottom of an 800px screen, in the state a person reaches by getting their password wrong. It is at 755 now. The notice's alternatives were measured, not argued about: beside the plate wants 1704px of measure against 1240 available; stacked above it puts the plate's bottom at 929. WHAT DELIBERATELY DID NOT CHANGE This is the redesign half of #140 and none of the auth cutover. `dev-login` is untouched: the inline "Pilot access" region on /signin, the footer link and the post-refusal "Sign in with that" sentence are all still there, and `signin-guidance-is-on-the-page.test.ts` asserts each of them by name — a redesign is exactly the kind of change that removes one of those without meaning to, and ~81 pilot users have no other way in. The refusal copy is byte-identical; a crafted ?error=…&callbackUrl=… produces the same alert text as a plain one (verified in the browser). VERIFIED tsc 316 errors before and after — every one a Prisma client generated from another branch in the shared node_modules, none in a touched file. eslint clean on all nine files. jest 5353 passing; the same three suites fail on this branch and on a stash of it, for the same reason. Accessibility checked on the served page: heading order, labelled fields, focus ring, Enter-submits, the alert taking focus with both fields aria-describedby and aria-invalid, and the skip link landing focus on the guidance heading. Two e2e censuses follow the notice: `signin-brand-field.spec.ts` now asserts it is NOT on the field, and `signin-accessibility.spec.ts` names it in its own required list and publishes a window to reach it. Its two-column test measured the notice against the card, an arrangement that only existed while a notice was published; it now measures the plate's own columns, in every configuration. * The pilot's own way in, asserted once and by name Removing dev-login is a change somebody is actively proposing, and the pilot cohort has no second door until every one of them holds a Cognito account. The suite proved that door worked only INCIDENTALLY — as a side effect of two dozen specs signing in on their way to a calendar or a budget — so its removal would have surfaced as two dozen unrelated failures in files that are not about sign-in, none of which says what broke. Extends e2e/dev-login-gate.spec.ts, which already owns this gate, rather than adding a second spec with a second opinion about the same flow. Three tests, one per thing a person does at a sign-in page: - a club seat signs in through the redesigned page and the DASHBOARD opens, with their own name on it. The existing positive test admits the OSE Director, who lands on /admin — a different route and a different entitlement check, so it cannot stand in for this one. - the form submits from the keyboard alone. The redesign moved this form into a two-column plate; the failure that invites is a submit button outside the <form> it belongs to, which no other test would notice because every other sign-in in 27 spec files is a click. - a mistyped passphrase marks both fields invalid, leaves the guidance column standing, and can be retried into the dashboard. Deliberately NOT wrapped in test.skip(!DEV_LOGIN_PASSPHRASE) like the describes above it: a guard keyed on an environment variable lets the exact change it exists to catch land green, because removing the provider removes the variable with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * On a 320px screen the Tenure lockup was 38px off the side of the page Every pre-authentication route shares one masthead, and at 320px — the narrowest viewport a phone still reports — it did not fit. Measured on the served page, in both themes: /signin, /signin?error=1 and /signin/pilot each put 38px of themselves past the right edge of the document, and the thing sticking out was Tenure's own lockup. /signin/pilot is not touched by this branch and overflowed identically on origin/main, which is how you can tell the defect belonged to the masthead rather than to any one page. It mattered here because this branch gives /signin/activate that same masthead — the fix for the institution's mark vanishing on the second screen of one journey — and would have handed it the overflow along with it. The header wraps now. At 320 the institution's group is 259.5px, Tenure's is 95.7px and does not shrink, and with the gap that is 371.2px of content against 280px of measure; the three alternatives all give up something this page is not allowed to give up. Shrinking the mark means a 21px image, and the words inside a vertical lockup stop being words — the defect its size was raised to fix. Shrinking the unit name past 86.6px breaks the institution's own name mid-word. Hiding it is `hidden sm:block` again, which took the Office of Student Engagement off the page on a phone. So below 412px the two lockups take a line each and neither is touched; at 412 and above nothing moves at all. `ml-auto` is load-bearing rather than tidy: a lone item on a wrapped line is packed to the START under `justify-between`, which put Tenure directly beneath the institution's mark instead of in the corner opposite it. `signin-brand-field.spec.ts` now runs the same subtraction at 320 and 360 over all three field routes. Nothing in this repository had ever measured below 390 — `mobile-shell.spec.ts` starts there too — so a person on a 320px phone was reading a login page that slid sideways under their thumb with no test anywhere to say so. Two verification notes in signin/page.tsx were also stale and understated the work, so they are corrected against what a production build actually does: `next build` succeeds and `next start` serves, the four rows of the fold table that have no service notice reproduce to the pixel on it, and the one state that still runs past the fold — a refusal during a published service window — is now CONFIRMED rather than disclosed: measured with the same notice row on both revisions, origin/main puts the submit button at 972 and this puts it at 944. The page scrolls; it is a reach, not a lockout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Two changes that only make sense together: the second sign-in path is deleted, and the page it used to sit on is rebuilt around the one that remains. Supersedes the draft in #112 — its decisions are taken, its
signin/page.tsxhunk is not (that hunk's base predates the two-zone design,TenantBackdrop,InstitutionMark, the activation link and the expanded refusal, and applying it would have reverted all of them).1 ·

/signinrebuiltThe old page was a 420px card that told a first-time visitor almost nothing. Who is entitled to sign in, why this is not their University login, what to do with an invitation code, who to ask — every one of those was answered only by failing, and the refusal is deliberately uninformative because §14.2 forbids distinguishing "no such account" from "wrong password". The design was: withhold the explanation, then withhold it again at the moment it is most wanted.
One 960px plate, two columns. Sign-in on the left, guidance on the right.

The reference is a licensed dusk photo of the UR campus. We hold no licence, and an unlicensed photograph on an institution's own login page is a legal problem rather than a styling choice — the same reasoning that makes the lockup a slot instead of a drawn approximation. The field stays CSS built from
brand.palettealone;TenantBackdroptakes a licensed image later behind one named asset path, with no change topage.tsx.If you want a photograph, what you would need to supply: a licence (or written permission from University Communications) for one landscape image, ≥2560px wide, that we may host and serve from

Moving it onto the card breaks the coincidence silently: a standard dark-ink lockup still wants its white plate, but a reversed lockup drawn bare becomes light ink on a near-white card and disappears, with nothing to error on.
ground="brand"ground="surface"<slug>.png(dark ink)<slug>-reversed.svg(light ink)Neither value touches the mark. No invert, no brightness, no filter — asserted in both render suites.
/signin/activateSame plate, same eyebrow, same lockup on the same ground — it previously rendered
institutionNameas plain white text and showed no lockup at all, so Simon's mark appeared on one screen of a two-screen flow and vanished on the other. The activation logic is untouched: same form, same three refusal strings, samewithMinimumDurationresponse floor, same deliberate absence of a session on success.It also now carries
callbackUrlon all four of its redirects. Somebody who followed a link to an approval, clicked "Set your password", and succeeded was being dropped at the default landing with the destination lost.The Status block has a real source
SIGNIN_NOTICE— deployment configuration exactly likeTENANT_SLUG, declared inenv.ts, documented in.env.exampleand the RUNBOOK. Unset/empty/whitespace ⇒ the block is not rendered. There is deliberately no "All systems operational" default: that is a claim this page cannot observe, on a page anybody can reach, and it would go on printing through an outage. Text only, escaped as a React child; over 280 chars it is refused with a log warning rather than truncated.3 · The e2e suite
getByRole("region", { name: "Pilot access" })was the suite's only way in, at nine call sites. It now establishes the session directly (ADR-0022): a real cookie minted bynext-auth/jwt's ownencodewith the server'sAUTH_SECRETunder @auth/core's derived salt — plus the server-sideSessionrow.That row is not optional and its absence is silent.
auth.ts'sjwtcallback returnsnullfor a token with nosid, @auth/core reads that as "no session", clears the cookie and bounces to/signin. Measured: eight specs simply timed out, which reads as the application being broken. The helper now writes the row exactly asissueServerSessiondoes, sosession-revocation.spec.tsstill revokes a suite session for real.Two other measured fixes:
SEEDED_ACCOUNTSmoved toe2e/support/seeded-accounts.ts(imports nothing).src/lib/preview/personas.test.tsimports it under jest, which cannot transformnext-auth/jwt— the whole suite died onSyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'in a file about personas.signin-cognito.spec.tsasserted Dana Whitfield lands on/dashboard. ADR-0019 sends an OSE Director to/admin; it now asserts/admin, plus a club seat landing on/dashboard, so the claim is about role rather than about a URL that happens to resolve.Tests, each with the control that flips it
Every control was applied to the source, run, and read per test — never by suite exit code.
