Two adversarial reviews over61119be,1d9fb11andeb0e405. The merge itself came back clean — client_upload_id end to end, TempFileGuard's arm/retarget/disarm, the supervised sweep wiring and v_feed's column parity were all verified sound. What follows is what my own three commits broke. BLOCKER — a post-release rebuild was permanently impossible, and it 404'd the keepsake1d9fb11deferred prune_superseded_archives to run only on success, so a failed rebuild could no longer destroy the last good archive. It did not follow that through: ensure_export_space runs BEFORE the prune, so at rebuild time the previous generation is still on disk and counted against free. That halves the gallery a rebuild can survive (~4.6 GB) relative to what the upload gate accepts (~7.8 GB) — and it self-locks, because invalidate_and_arm bumps the epoch on COMMIT, which 404s both download routes immediately, while the only code that could free the space now runs only after a success that can never happen. A guest deleting their own photo is enough to trigger it. Recovery needed `docker exec rm`. Now two-phase: try to build while preserving the old generation; if that genuinely does not fit, reclaim it and try once more. Strictly better than both the original ordering and my change — the old archive is sacrificed only when it is the only way to get a new one. BLOCKER — the deferred prune could delete the last archive when a worker LOST the race run_*_export_inner returned Ok(()) on the superseded/discard path, so `res.is_ok()` fired the prune with the worker's own RETIRED epoch as keep_seq. At that moment the winning generation is still `pending` with no file, so protected_files is empty and the last good archive was deleted with no replacement. Exactly the invariant deferring the prune was meant to establish. Returns Err(Superseded) now, which abandon_if_superseded already swallows for the caller. BLOCKER — the low-disk banner could never fire before the wall eb0e405's gate refuses at `free < keepsake + DISK_RESERVE`, while disk_is_low warned at `free < keepsake`. The two differ by the whole reserve, so the wall always came first: every guest blocked from uploading while the host dashboard showed ~27 GB free and no banner, with nobody on site. disk_is_low now shares the gate's expression plus a 25% margin, and a test asserts the banner fires at the gate threshold across the whole gallery-size range. BLOCKER — I raised the unauthenticated bcrypt ceiling 24x on a 2 vCPU box1d9fb11moved admin_login's tight bucket after verify_password (correct — that is what stops a guest locking the operator out) but replaced the incidental 5/min bound on bcrypt with 120/min and nothing global. bcrypt is on spawn_blocking, but tokio's blocking pool is 512 threads, so "off the runtime" is not "bounded": enough concurrent verifies preempt both async workers and uploads, feed and SSE stall. Three unauthenticated endpoints reach bcrypt and every guest shares one NAT IP, so per-IP limits bound nothing globally. Adds a process-wide semaphore of `cores - 1` around both verify and hash, and drops the ceiling to 30. Also correcting my own claim: "a correct password is never throttled" was wrong. The failure bucket cannot block it, but the CPU ceiling still can. The code comment said so; the commit message did not. BLOCKER — migration 025 could crash-loop the app on boot Its UPDATE derives `Name (8hex)` with no guard against idx_user_event_name_ci. A guest who had already joined as exactly that string makes the migration fail, which propagates out of create_pool, exits main, and `restart: unless-stopped` turns it into a permanent loop — a worse version of the lockout the migration exists to clean up. Now skips colliding rows (create_admin_user already falls back to Admin-<8hex>, so the cleanup is convenience, not load-bearing). Also `role = 'guest'` rather than `<> 'admin'`, which was renaming legitimately promoted hosts named "Host". DEGRADATION — the watchdog's suspension credit was unbounded Background tabs are throttled to ~1 tick/min WITHOUT the network stack pausing, and the tick gap cannot tell that from a freeze. Crediting every late tick grew the observed silence by only one interval per real minute, so a dead socket took ~18 minutes to detect while holding the queue's processing latch. Credit is now capped at one stall window and REFILLS on real progress: an upload that is moving survives any number of screen locks, while one that is silent and suspended is detected within ~3 minutes. DEGRADATION — the 4xx log line was an unauthenticated log-injection vector validate_display_name allowed newlines, several 4xx messages interpolate the name, and %message wrote it unescaped. Two unauthenticated /join requests could forge arbitrary lines in the only forensic record an unattended event has. Fixed at both ends: control characters rejected at the door, and `detail = ?message` escapes on the way out (which also stops colliding with tracing's reserved `message` field). 401/404 drop to DEBUG — they carry no operator signal and were the cheapest lines for a scanner to use to roll the 30 MB log window in minutes. DEGRADATION — the quota floor was inverted exactly where it mattered `computed.max(MIN.min(budget))`: `budget` is the whole disk's share, so below 500 MiB the "floor" became the entire remaining budget and EVERY uploader was authorised all of it — 400 MB free, 3 uploaders, 300 MB each. A test pinned that as correct under the name `the_floor_never_exceeds_what_the_disk_can_back`. Both fixed. Also replaces the headline gate test, which asserted its own precondition inside an `if` on that precondition and could not fail. It now pins what actually binds the gate to the preflight — that required_free_bytes charges for both halves — plus the ceiling band. Verified: 151/151 backend tests against a live Postgres, clippy clean, 58/58 vitest, svelte-check 0 errors, eslint clean, both builds, caddy validate, and the migration collision reproduced against Postgres 16 before and after.

Migrations
SQLx-managed Postgres migrations. Each NNN_topic.up.sql has a matching
NNN_topic.down.sql. Run by sqlx::migrate!() at app start.
Rules
- Never edit a shipped migration. If a column needs to change or a fix needs to land, write a new migration. Production has already applied the old one and SQLx tracks each by checksum — editing in place will fail to apply on existing databases.
- Always pair
.up.sqlwith a.down.sql. Reverts may not be perfect (data loss is sometimes unavoidable) but the file must exist and do the best it can. - Prefer additive changes. New columns, new tables, new keys in
config. Drop / rename only when there is no alternative. - No business logic in migrations. Schema + seeds only. Anything that needs Rust code goes in a one-off binary, not a migration file.
- One concern per migration. Easier to revert. Easier to read in
git log.
Numbering
Zero-padded three digits, monotonically increasing. The next free number lives at the bottom of the directory listing — pick that.
Seed-only migrations
When you only need to add config keys (feature flags, defaults), use
INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING so existing operator overrides survive. See
009_feature_toggles.up.sql for the canonical shape.
