The README has promised "internal users are created by an admin" since the beginning and there was no such thing. There are exactly two ways an account has ever come into existence: the first admin at setup, and somebody accepting an invite to a project. So the only way to add a person was to share a project with them first. The store has been ready the whole time. CreateInvite already documents that "projectID may be empty, which invites somebody to the instance rather than to a particular project", and AcceptInvite already has the branch that grants no membership when there is none. requireAdmin has existed in the middleware and was used nowhere. This wires those three together and puts a page on them. An invite rather than an account with a password the administrator picks. A password typed here would be known to two people before it was ever used, and would then have to travel to the second one by some channel nobody has thought about. No name is asked for either — the signup form asks the person, and a name an administrator guesses is a name somebody has to correct. Two refusals keep the instance administrable: the last administrator cannot be demoted or deleted, and nobody can delete the account they are signed in as. Both are enforced on the server; the interface simply does not draw the buttons on your own row, because a button whose only purpose is to be refused wastes a click to teach a rule. The last-admin refusal gets its own error code, because "that already exists" is not what happened and this is the one refusal a person needs explained. Deleting an account is the only hard delete in this database, and building the confirmation is what turned up how wide it goes. `projects.owner_id` cascades, which is expected. But `tasks.created_by` cascades too — so removing a colleague deletes every task they ever wrote, including in projects somebody else owns. The count in the list says so, and the confirmation says it in words. Changing that to ON DELETE SET NULL, so the work stays and loses its author, means rebuilding the tasks table and its FTS triggers: worth doing, not worth doing quietly while adding a screen. It is written down in the store instead. Pending invites are listed and can be withdrawn. Only the token's hash is stored, so a link sent to the wrong address cannot be looked up and resent — withdrawing it is the only way to stop it before it expires. Six API tests for the guards and the counts, and two smoke tests: the whole loop from invite to a second browser creating the account and appearing in the list as somebody who is not an administrator, and the absence of buttons on your own row.

web
The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR=./data VERDANDE_DEV=true go run ./cmd/verdande
