The approval workflow had no front door. The notification email told the operator to
"review it in ScreenTinker under Admin" and that screen did not exist — the only way to
approve was curl, while the tenant sat locked out of their own product. Admin now leads
with a removal-request section: who asked, for which organization, the reason they
gave, what approving does, and Approve/Reject. It hides itself when the queue is empty.
Approving is confirmed; rejecting is not, because rejecting only leaves the safe state.
REGISTRATION BYPASSED SSO-ONLY AND SQUATTED ADDRESSES
/register had no domain awareness: it issued a working session at an SSO-only domain,
and the account then held that address forever, because an SSO login will not adopt a
row that has a password. Registering ceo@acme.test before the real CEO's first login
left the address dead in both directions with no self-service way out. Refused now, and
"Create Account" is hidden on the login page for those domains — it was the only action
left on the card, so the page was inviting the one thing that cannot work.
THE NEW RATE LIMIT WAS DECORATIVE
/api/organizations carries three caller-chosen segments, and only the OIDC slug was
folded — so every request minted its own bucket. Measured: 120 calls with unique org
ids produced ZERO 429s, unauthenticated, against the limit that exists to bound
outbound discovery and live DNS. Now 60/60. The general problem was named in the
previous commit's own comment and then not applied to the mount it added.
XSS IN THE TOAST
showToast built innerHTML from server strings, including ones that reflect input
verbatim — a reviewer typed `<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>` as an issuer and got script
execution in the admin's session. Escaped.
ALSO
- the org SSO button sat BETWEEN the "Password" label and its input, so the label
described the button and the field had none; moved below the input, with a for=
- the OR divider survived when the providers under it were hidden
- provider action buttons were clipped off-screen at 375px with no way to scroll to
them — "Remove" was unreachable; the row wraps now
1609 tests. Verified in real Chrome: 13/13 on the approval loop and the login states,
including approving a request and watching password login re-open for that org.

Each of these views carries its own copy of a fetch helper ending in `.then(r => r.json())`. A 403,
404 or 500 body resolves as an ordinary value, so the surrounding try/catch is unreachable and every
handler treats the failure as success. The shared client in api.js has always thrown on !res.ok;
these local copies never did.
Two concrete consequences, both of which tell the operator something untrue:
- The layout editor renders a Delete button on built-in templates for everyone. The server returns
403. The handler shows "Layout deleted" and re-renders the list with the template still sitting
there.
- A rejected platform-role change in Admin shows "Role updated", and the revert that would put the
dropdown back lives only in the dead catch — so the UI keeps displaying a value the server
refused. The same control in Settings uses the throwing client, so the two pages disagree about
whether the change happened.
All eight now match the shared contract: reject on !ok with the server's own message, and treat 401
as session expiry the way api.js does.
This makes previously-silent failures visible, which is the point — some of them will surface
refusals that were always happening. The layout template Delete button, for instance, is now
honestly reported as refused rather than falsely confirmed; whether that button should be shown at
all is a separate question.

The admin plan table read /api/subscription/plans, which filters `active = 1` because
that endpoint feeds the public pricing page. So the one screen meant to show the
operator what plans exist could not show a hidden one — a comped or beta tier was
invisible to us as well as to customers, with no way to see it existed or who was on it.
Found immediately after creating exactly such a plan.
GET /api/admin/plans (platform-admin only) returns every plan plus, per plan, the number
of accounts, organisations and screens on it. Visible plans sort first so the list still
reads like the pricing ladder, with hidden ones after and badged.
The public endpoint is deliberately untouched: hiding a plan has to keep working, and
the test pins BOTH directions because they pull against each other — the admin list must
include an inactive plan, and the public list must never leak one.
Counts are the point, not decoration: "how many people are on what plan" is the question
you actually ask of this screen, and it was answerable only by hand in SQLite.
Also carries a warning for accounts whose plan no longer resolves. Both users.plan_id and
organizations.plan_id are FK-enforced to plans.id and there is no delete-plan route, so
this should be unreachable — but migrations here do rebuild tables with foreign keys off
(the tenant-cascade one rebuilt thirteen), and that is exactly how a row would be
orphaned. Six lines for a state that would otherwise be silent.
Strings added to en/de/es/fr/it/pt. Not hi: it has no admin translations at all, lookup
falls back to English, and four Hindi strings among forty English ones would read worse
than consistent English.
Driving the app in a real browser showed a context menu whose only item read
"schedule.ctx_new". t() returns the KEY when a string is missing — it never
returns undefined — so a missing key renders literally, and the common
`t('x') || 'A readable default'` guard is dead code: the key is truthy, the
default can never fire, and the pattern hides the problem instead of covering
it. Every occurrence of it in the app was doing exactly that.
Nineteen strings were affected, most of them predating this work: fifteen in
the self-hosted update panel and four in video walls, all of which have been
showing raw keys to users. The intended text was recovered from the dead
defaults, so the wording is the authors' own, and the defaults are removed
rather than left to imply a safety net that does not exist.
A test now walks the views for the keys they actually ask for and fails on any
that English does not define, and separately rejects the `|| default` pattern.
Neither problem is visible to a syntax check, a unit test, or review — only to
someone looking at the screen — so the guard is the only thing that keeps them
from coming back.

* feat(dashboard): version indicator + GHCR update check with admin panel
- Add server/lib/ghcr-check.js: GHCR tag poller (36h cache, semver filter)
- Extend /api/version with latest_version and update_available
- Add POST /api/admin/check-update (force GHCR poll)
- Add POST /api/admin/trigger-update (Docker compose or manual instructions)
- Sidebar footer: version label + amber badge when update available
- Admin > System: version comparison card with Check/Update buttons
- 14 new tests (10 unit + 4 integration), 68/68 passing
Closes#163
* fix(dashboard): gate trigger-update to platform-admin + add GHCR fetch timeout
Review follow-up on #165 (the two blockers):
- trigger-update runs `docker compose up -d` on the HOST via docker.sock
(root-equivalent) but was behind requireAdmin, i.e. reachable by any
workspace-level admin. On a multi-tenant host that's a customer, not the infra
operator. Gate it with requirePlatformAdmin (DOCKER_UPDATE_ENABLED still gates
it further). check-update stays requireAdmin — it's a read-only GHCR poll.
- ghcr-check.checkNow had no fetch timeout. Node's global fetch has no default
timeout, so a hung GHCR connection never settled — leaving `inFlight` set
forever (the finally never ran), which wedged the background poller AND hung
any awaited checkNow (/api/admin/check-update). Add a 10s AbortController
timeout on both requests so the try/catch/finally always fire.
All 405 server tests pass.

1. devices_connected (always on, never gated): a top-level /api/status field next to
loop_lag = LIVE WS socket count from the heartbeat connection map (getConnectedCount),
NOT devices.status='online' (which lags by the offline-timeout). The single
most-glanced operational number, so it can't disappear when debug is off. Also dropped
4 dead per-poll COUNT(*) queries the route computed but never returned.
2. debug block behind an admin flag: new minimal app_settings KV table (none existed;
ai_settings is per-workspace, white_labels is branding) + lib/app-settings.js (cached,
refresh-on-write so status polls read a cached boolean, not a DB row).
routes/status.js includes `debug` ONLY when status_debug_enabled is on (persisted value
overrides the STATUS_DEBUG_ENABLED env default); when off the key is omitted entirely.
3. Admin toggle: GET/PUT /api/admin/status-debug (requirePlatformAdmin, mirrors the
branding endpoints) + a checkbox in the Admin tab "Status endpoint" section
(mirrors the branding checkbox). Takes effect on the next poll, no restart.
Tests: devices_connected always present+numeric and rises with a live socket (booted +
socket.io-client); debug present by default, admin flips OFF -> key omitted (loop_lag +
devices_connected remain) -> ON again, no restart; non-admin 403, anon 401; unit coverage
for getConnectedCount + app-settings default/override. Suite 289/289.

Platform admins can now cleanly remove a customer org (account ends) or a stray
workspace from the UI, instead of raw SQL that risks orphaning resources.
The tenant cascade isn't pure DB CASCADE - workspace-scoped tables (devices,
content, playlists, ...) are NO ACTION and must be purged before the workspace.
Extracted that logic out of deleteUserCascade into shared deleteWorkspaceCascade /
deleteOrgCascade helpers (one tested implementation; deleteUserCascade now reuses
the purgeWorkspaces extraction).
Backend (platform-admin only): GET /api/admin/orgs (list + owner + counts +
workspaces), DELETE /api/admin/orgs/:id, DELETE /api/admin/workspaces/:id.
UI: an Organizations section in Admin listing every org/workspace with a
type-the-name confirmation before the irreversible delete.
Tests: org/workspace cascade (real FKs) + endpoint gating/404. Suite 53/53.
MSPs onboarding customers as separate orgs had no way to create one with
AUTO_CREATE_ORG_ON_SIGNUP=false (the only path was signup auto-org). Add a
platform-admin 'Create organization' action.
POST /api/admin/orgs (requirePlatformAdmin) creates the org + its first 'Default'
workspace. organizations.owner_user_id is NOT NULL, so an org can't be ownerless;
the creating admin becomes org_owner + workspace_admin (mirrors the signup
bootstrap in routes/auth.js) - which also surfaces the org in their switcher.
Customer users are then added via the existing Add User / manage-memberships flow.
UI: 'Create organization' button + single-field modal in the Admin area (gated).
Tests: create (201 + memberships + audit), empty-name 400, non-admin/operator 403.
White-label is stored per-workspace (white_labels.workspace_id); unbranded and
new workspaces - and the login page - fell back to hardcoded ScreenTinker. Add a
single platform default that everything inherits beneath the per-workspace layer.
Resolution (lib/branding.js): workspace row -> custom-domain match -> platform
default -> hardcoded ScreenTinker. Row-level override: a workspace with its own
row keeps it (current behavior); only row-less workspaces inherit the default,
so editing the default propagates instantly (no row-copying at creation).
The platform default is a white_labels row with a FIXED id ('platform-default'),
not a "workspace_id IS NULL" sentinel - legacy pre-multitenancy rows can also
have a null workspace_id, which would be ambiguous.
- routes/admin.js: GET/PUT /api/admin/branding (requirePlatformAdmin) to read/
upsert the single platform-default row; audit-logged.
- server.js: public GET /api/branding (domain match -> platform default ->
hardcoded) for pre-login/pre-workspace contexts.
- routes/white-label.js: authed GET now falls back to the platform default
(was hardcoded) for row-less workspaces.
- Frontend: login page resolves + applies branding (logo, name, colors, favicon,
custom CSS) pre-auth; Admin page gets a "Default branding" form.
Tests: resolver order incl. legacy null-ws safety; admin GET/PUT (single row,
upsert, platform-admin-only 403). Full suite 37/37. Verified end-to-end:
public + authed + login-page all inherit the platform default; per-workspace
override preserved.
Closes#15.
The Workspace column on the platform Users page could only move a 0/1-workspace
user and showed a dead "N workspaces" label for multi-membership users. Replace
it with a "Manage workspaces" modal that handles the full picture.
Backend (routes/admin.js, requirePlatformAdmin):
- GET /api/admin/users/:id/workspaces list memberships (+org/ws names, role)
- POST /api/admin/users/:id/workspaces add to a workspace (upsert role)
- PUT /api/admin/users/:id/workspaces/:wsId change role in a workspace
- DELETE /api/admin/users/:id/workspaces/:wsId remove (last one allowed -> unassigned)
Roles validated against WORKSPACE_ROLES; each mutation writes an audit row.
Frontend:
- Workspace cell is now a summary (Unassigned / <name> / N workspaces /
"Platform (all)" for staff) + a Manage button.
- New admin-user-workspaces-modal: lists every membership with an inline role
dropdown + Remove, plus a type-to-filter "Add to workspace" picker (org-grouped,
excludes current memberships) with a role select. Staff get a note that they
already have platform-wide access. Refreshes the table on close if changed.
- Removed the old single-select inline move control (superseded by the modal).
Tests: 6 added (add to multiple workspaces, per-workspace role change, upsert,
remove incl. last->unassigned, validation 400/404, non-platform-admin 403).
Full suite 33/33. Verified headless: Manage opens, lists memberships, filtered
picker, add/role-change/remove round-trips persist (throwaway user, cleaned up).
Adds a "Workspace" column (after Plan) to the platform Users admin table so a
platform_admin can see and reassign a user's workspace inline, alongside the
Role/Plan dropdowns. Single-workspace move/assign model.
Backend:
- GET /api/auth/users (platform branch): one aggregate query adds
workspace_count and, for exactly-one membership, the workspace id/name + org
name (no N+1).
- PUT /api/admin/users/:id/workspace (requirePlatformAdmin - operator excluded):
move (1 membership) or assign (0) into the chosen workspace, default role
workspace_viewer, in a transaction; no-op if already there; REFUSES (400) a
user with >1 membership (manage in the members view). logActivity
admin_set_user_workspace.
Frontend (admin.js):
- Editable <select> only for a 'user' with 0/1 membership; multi-membership ->
read-only "N workspaces", platform staff -> read-only "Platform (all)".
- Options grouped by org via <optgroup>, built ONCE from /me's
accessible_workspaces (same source as the Add User picker) and reused per row.
- Picking "Unassigned" or the same workspace is a no-op so a stray pick can't
strip a membership. Success -> toast + refresh. EN i18n only.
Tests: 4 added (single-membership move 200 + changed, zero-membership assign
200, multi-membership 400 refused, non-platform-admin/operator 403). npm test
16/16. Verified headless: column renders, selected value correct, "Platform
(all)" for staff, and a dropdown move persisted (throwaway user, cleaned up).

Extends the shared add-user modal (workspace-members-add-user-modal.js) with
an optional picker mode instead of forking a second form:
- opened with a fixed workspace (members view) -> unchanged, no picker;
- opened with null (platform Users admin page) -> shows an Org/Workspace
picker (type-to-filter over /me's accessible_workspaces, labelled
"org / workspace") plus the role select; email/name/password+generate/
must-change/error-mapping stay shared.
Role options are rendered from a single WORKSPACE_ROLES constant that mirrors
the set POST /api/admin/users accepts (routes/admin.js) - so we never offer a
value the endpoint 400s (the platform_operator mismatch we already hit).
org_admin is intentionally NOT offered: the endpoint accepts only the three
workspace roles.
admin.js: "Add user" button in the page header (page is already
platform_admin-gated; the endpoint additionally enforces canAdminWorkspace,
which platform_admin passes everywhere). On success -> toast + refresh the
user list. Reuses workspace-members.js's mapMutationError. EN i18n only.
Frontend only - no backend change. Verified headless (Playwright): button
opens the modal, picker lists all 45 workspaces with working filter, role
options = [viewer, editor, admin], and submit created + assigned a user into
the chosen workspace (test row cleaned up afterward). npm test still 12/12.

platform_operator is cross-org STAFF: it can see and act-as into every
org and read/write workspace-scoped resources (content, playlists,
layouts, schedules, devices, widgets, kiosk) anywhere - but holds NO
owner-level power.
Design is deny-by-default: operator is NEVER added to PLATFORM_ROLES /
isPlatformRole, so every owner capability (billing, org/workspace
deletion, user/role management, shared & template asset curation,
branding, workspace member mgmt/rename) stays denied, and any NEW owner
endpoint added later inherits that denial automatically.
Operator gets power from exactly two levers:
- middleware/auth.js: new PLATFORM_STAFF set + isPlatformStaff(); owner
guards (PLATFORM_ROLES, requireAdmin, requireSuperAdmin) unchanged.
- tenancy.js: accessContext + resolveTenancy treat staff as act-as
capable; new req.isPlatformStaff / req.isPlatformOperator (req.isPlatformAdmin
stays owner-only); accessibleWorkspaceIds + switch-workspace guard use staff.
- permissions.js: canRead/canWrite + canAccessWorkspace (read) grant staff;
canAdmin / canAdminWorkspace / isOrgAdmin / isOrgOwner stay owner-gated.
Read-only edges (per review): operator may VIEW workspace member lists
(canAccessWorkspace) and the unassigned device pool (devices.js), but
cannot mutate either.
Frontend: platform role dropdown adds "Platform operator"; the user-mgmt
view stays isPlatformAdmin-gated so operators can't open it. EN i18n only.
Behaviour identical under HOSTED_INSTANCE set or unset.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The legacy /api/auth/users dropdown could write 'superadmin' and 'admin'
role strings that not every code path recognized. Some checks matched only
'platform_admin' (tenancy accessContext/resolveTenancy), so a 'superadmin'
user could list orgs but not act-as into them.
Normalize to the current two-tier platform model (users.role holds the
PLATFORM role only; org/workspace roles live in the membership tables):
- Migration (idempotent, exact-string): superadmin -> platform_admin,
admin -> user. No-ops on rows already in the current model.
- Add isPlatformRole() helper in middleware/auth.js; route the two
superadmin-excluding checks in tenancy.js through it so a stray
'superadmin' is never treated as lower-privileged (fixes act-as).
- Remove the dead/stricter requirePlatformAdmin in permissions.js (bare
=== 'platform_admin'); the single guard is the one in middleware/auth.js.
- Recovery-token default role admin -> platform_admin so emergency
recovery keeps full access once 'admin' no longer implies elevation.
- PUT /api/auth/users/:id/role whitelist -> ['user','platform_admin'];
self-demote guard retargeted via isPlatformRole.
- Frontend: platform user-management dropdown now offers User / Platform
admin only; owner-delete guard and settings highlight use isPlatformAdmin.
EN i18n: add admin.role.platform_admin.
Behaviour is identical under HOSTED_INSTANCE set or unset; the migration
only touches exact legacy strings.

Password reset for other users:
- New PUT /api/auth/users/:id/password endpoint
- Superadmin can reset any local user; admin can reset role=user
members of teams they own only (cannot reset other admins or
superadmins, cannot self-reset — that goes through PUT /me with
current_password)
- OAuth users are excluded (no password to reset)
- Rate-limited 20 req/min/IP to cap blast radius if an admin session
is compromised
- Explicit audit log entry "password_reset_for_user / target: <email>"
on every reset; activity logger's summarizeAction never reads the
password field, so the password value is not stored anywhere
Frontend: Reset Password button in the Admin user table and Settings
> User Management table. Shown only for local-auth users that aren't
the current user; prompts for an 8+ char password.
Widgets visibility fix:
- routes/widgets.js had `const isAdmin = req.user.role === 'superadmin'`
which mislabeled superadmin as admin and silently restricted real
admins (role=admin) to seeing only their own widgets. Now matches
/auth/users behavior: superadmin sees all, admin sees own + public
+ widgets owned by members of teams they own, user sees own + public.
7 new i18n keys (admin.reset_password, admin.prompt_reset_password,
admin.toast.password_min_8, admin.toast.password_reset, and the
matching settings.user.* / settings.toast.* trio). 1024 keys total,
parity 100% across en/es/fr/de/pt.

Inline width:NNNpx beats the .modal { width: 95vw } mobile rule due to
specificity. Convert to max-width:NNNpx;width:95vw on the three affected
modals so they cap at their desktop size but still shrink on mobile:
- playlists.js add-item modal (560px)
- device-detail.js assign-playlist modal (650px)
- content-library.js edit-content modal (500px)
Same fix pattern for fixed-width form controls flagged in QA — selects
and inputs change to max-width:NNNpx;width:100% so they keep their
desktop size but shrink to container on mobile:
- admin.js role/plan selects (120/130px)
- teams.js member role + add-device selects (100/200px)
- content-library.js search input + folder filter (250/180px)
- onboarding.js pairing code + display name inputs (240px)

- Wrap wide tables (admin, settings, reports) in .table-wrap with
min-width on the table so they scroll horizontally on narrow screens
instead of collapsing rows.
- Add global .table-wrap { overflow-x: auto } utility.
- Mobile: add mask-image fade on .tabs right edge to hint scrollability
when tabs overflow; flex-shrink:0 on .tab keeps labels intact.
