Pairs with the ALLOW_SELF_REGISTER toggle from 0.42.0: admins can mint
accounts regardless of the toggle state, so a closed-membership
deployment still has a working enrollment path. The endpoint accepts
{ username, password, is_admin? } so admins can mint co-admins in one
call (avoiding a separate promote + extra audit row for the common
"invite a co-admin" flow).
Implementation:
- POST /api/v1/admin/users guarded by RequireAdmin
- Reuses validate_username / validate_password from api::auth (made
pub(crate)) so the admin path can never produce an account self-
register would reject and vice versa
- repo::user::admin_create_user wraps INSERT + admin_audit insert in
a single tx — same "audit reflects what committed" semantics as the
existing admin_safe_* fns
- Audit row: action="create_user", payload={username, is_admin}
Frontend:
- createAdminUser() in lib/api/admin.ts
- /admin/users grows a collapsible "Create user" form above the table
(username, password, "Make admin" checkbox). Errors surface inline;
the list reloads on success.
Backend tests: 7 new, including the headline
`create_user_works_even_when_self_register_disabled` that pins the
admin-create path is NOT gated by the public toggle.
