+# Ghost Guild — Open Backlog
+
+_Last consolidated: 2026-04-30. Single source of truth for every open issue across the codebase. Pulls from `LAUNCH_READINESS.md`, `TODO.md`, the post-launch backlog memory, and a fresh sweep of in-code TODO/FIXME comments._
+
+Cutover has not happened yet. Deploy steps live separately in [`LAUNCH_READINESS.md`](./LAUNCH_READINESS.md).
+
+---
+
+## Pre-cutover (do once)
+
+Operational steps that have to run during cutover. Full details + env-var list in [`LAUNCH_READINESS.md`](./LAUNCH_READINESS.md).
+
+- [ ] Provision the Dokploy app, set env vars (full list in LAUNCH_READINESS.md), confirm `BASE_URL` exact-matches the public origin and `NODE_ENV=production`.
+- [ ] Add the daily Dokploy Scheduled Task that POSTs to `/api/internal/reconcile-payments` with `X-Reconcile-Token`.
+- [ ] **Run `node scripts/migrate-contribution-amount.cjs --apply` against prod Mongo BEFORE the new code serves traffic.**
+- [ ] Set `NUXT_HELCIM_MONTHLY_PLAN_ID=50302` and `NUXT_HELCIM_ANNUAL_PLAN_ID=50303` in Dokploy.
+- [ ] Set `NUXT_RECONCILE_TOKEN` to a 32+ char random string.
+- [ ] Push local `main` to `origin/main`.
+- [ ] Deploy.
+- [ ] **Run `node scripts/reconcile-helcim-payments.mjs --apply` against prod Mongo AFTER the new code serves traffic.**
+- [ ] Audit prod for pre-fix series-pass bypass registrations (registrations on pass-only series children with `registeredAt < 2026-04-20` from non-pass-holders). Decide per case.
+- [ ] In Helcim dashboard: disable the default payment-confirmation email for plans 50302 + 50303 (we send our own CRA-safe version via Resend).
+- [ ] Run one real test charge and verify (a) Payment doc in Mongo and (b) exactly one CRA-compliant confirmation email.
+- [ ] Rotate `HELCIM_API_TOKEN` in the Helcim merchant portal and update the Dokploy env var.
+- [ ] Trigger the daily reconcile task once manually in Dokploy to confirm it's wired correctly.
+
+## Pilot smoke walks (before first wave)
+
+Once cutover lands, before the first Slack onboarding wave goes out:
+
+- [ ] **Pilot smoke walk for Slack-invited workflow.** One admin manually clicks "Mark as Slack invited" against a real test member in production, confirms the row updates in place, and confirms the dashboard "Slack coming" note disappears for that member. Unit tests cover the pieces; nothing covers the live admin-to-member round-trip.
+
+---
+
+## Bylaws-decoupling (waiting on amendment ratification)
+
+Membership status is being decoupled from payment status. Copy + UI gates already align; behavioral changes below remain.
+
+- [ ] **B1.** `server/api/members/cancel-subscription.post.js:31,48` flips status to `pending_payment` on cancel. Under the new bylaws, cancellation should keep status `active` (just zero contribution). Update the `findByIdAndUpdate` payload + response, the comment at line 26, and add coverage in `tests/server/api/cancel-subscription.test.js`.
+- ~~B3 cancelled.~~ `pending_payment` stays.
+- ~~B4 admin "Pending Payment" → "Payment setup incomplete"~~ shipped 2026-04-29 (`59d2be2`).
+
+---
+
+## Known gotchas (post-launch)
+
+- **Admin edit does not sync Helcim `recurringAmount`.** `/admin/members/[id]` PUT writes `contributionAmount` direct to Mongo by design. Admins must PATCH Helcim manually. The admin form already shows an `--ember`-bordered notice (commit `e756170`); a real sync flow is a future enhancement.
+- **Cadence switch rejected on active subscriptions.** `server/api/members/update-contribution.post.js:206` refuses cadence changes mid-subscription with a TODO comment pointing here. No UI toggle exists on `/member/account`. Adding cadence switch requires a Helcim subscription replacement flow, not a plain update.
+- **S2 test fixture id/slug mismatch (local dev only).** Seeded S2 series has `id: 'test-s2-drop-in-allowed'` but `slug: 'test-s2-drop-in-allowed-series'`. Doesn't affect prod — fix the seed script if anyone re-runs fixtures.
+- **`/admin/series-management` "Delete" button doesn't actually delete.** Click handler iterates events to PUT-unlink each from the series, never calls `DELETE /api/admin/series/:id`. For an empty series the button is a no-op; for a series with events it just orphans them. Either rename to "Unlink events" or add the actual DELETE call. Surfaced by `e2e/admin-series.spec.js` (delete test skipped). Flagged 2026-04-30.
+- **Past-deadline events and sold-out events render identically.** `EventTicketPurchase.vue` falls through to "Event Sold Out" panel for both `tickets.available.reason === 'Registration deadline has passed'` and zero-stock cases. If "Registration closed" is meant to read differently from "Sold out," add a distinct branch. Flagged 2026-04-30 (no e2e written — gated on this UX decision).
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility / a11y
+
+- [ ] **Button minimum target size.** Site-wide `.btn` renders ~35px tall. WCAG AA 2.5.8 (24×24) passes; AAA 2.5.5 (44×44) fails. Bumping padding affects every button — design call, not a drop-in fix. Flagged 2026-04-11.
+- [ ] **`/board` color-contrast violations (WCAG AA).** `.block-label` ("Offering" tag) and `.slack-handle` use `#746a58` on `#e8dfc8` → 4.01:1; AA needs 4.5:1 for small text. Surfaced by `e2e/a11y.spec.js` (the `/board` route fails; test is intentionally left red until fixed). Likely a single CSS variable adjustment. Flagged 2026-04-30.
+
+---
+
+## Deferred features (own session each)
+
+- [ ] **Email automation system.** Patterned after Tranzac's implementation (separate project, already built). HTML email bodies with template management and drip sequences. Deferred 2026-04-20 — ruled wasted work given the larger system is designed elsewhere. Current transactional email lives in `server/utils/resend.js` + inline in `server/api/auth/login.post.js`, `server/routes/oidc/interaction/login.post.ts`, `server/api/admin/{members,pre-registrants}/invite.post.js`. Copy dump at `docs/email-copy-dump.md`. See memory: `project_email_automation_future`.
+- [ ] **Receipts for event ticket purchases (Phase 2).** Phase 1 receipts only cover membership payments. Event tickets — especially guest purchases without member accounts — need a receipt flow. Likely an emailed PDF/HTML receipt at purchase time. Build target: June–Oct 2026, live Jan 2027. See memory: `project_receipts`.
+- [ ] **Series/event waitlist.** Admin can configure `tickets.waitlist.enabled` and `maxSize`; `server/utils/tickets.js` returns `waitlistAvailable: true` when full; `app/components/SeriesPassPurchase.vue:341` and `EventTicketPurchase.vue` have stub `handleJoinWaitlist` that toasts "Waitlist Coming Soon." No server endpoint, no confirmation email, no `event_waitlisted` activity hook. Either implement end-to-end or hide the button by removing the `v-if="availability?.waitlistAvailable"` branches in `EventSeriesTicketCard.vue:175` and `EventTicketCard.vue:73`.
+- [ ] **ASVS Phase 4.** File-upload validation pipeline, granular RBAC, credential encryption.
+
+---
+
+## Wave-Slack pilot follow-ups
+
+- [ ] **`/api/auth/member` doesn't return `slackInvited`.** Dashboard's Slack-coming note is gated on `memberData.slackInvited`, which is always `undefined` client-side, so the note shows for *every* active member regardless of state. Real bug. Add `slackInvited` (and `slackInvitedAt`) to the auth/member response. Surfaced by wave-slack §7.2 e2e (skipped pending this fix). Flagged 2026-04-30.
+- [ ] **Admin members list row mutation isn't reactive.** `markSlackInvited` in `app/pages/admin/members/index.vue` does `Object.assign(member, res.member)` on a plain object inside a `useFetch` array; Vue doesn't react, so the "Mark as Slack invited" button stays visible until a manual reload. Fix: `members.value[i] = { ...members.value[i], ...res.member }` or `splice`. Detail page uses the right pattern (covered by §6.6). Surfaced by wave-slack §6.2 e2e (skipped pending this fix). Flagged 2026-04-30.
+- [ ] **Deprecated `slackInviteStatus` field still serialized.** Removed from UI but still on `Member` documents and the `/api/admin/members` payload. Project it away in the API response and run a one-shot `$unset` cleanup. Surfaced by wave-slack §6.7 e2e. Flagged 2026-04-30.
+- [ ] **Spec vs shipped-UI mismatch on wave language.** `docs/specs/wave-based-slack-onboarding-tests.md` §7.5 asserts "no wave/cohort/batch language" in the dashboard note, but the shipped welcome-email and dashboard copy say "monthly onboarding waves." Decide which side wins; update the other.
+- [ ] **E2E coverage for `e2e/wave-slack-onboarding.spec.js`.** 9 of 16 scaffolded tests now passing (admin Slack-invited button + non-trivial dashboard cases). 7 remain skipped pending the bugs above (7.2, 6.2), seeding gaps (7.4 — no dev endpoint to mint members of arbitrary status), Open Questions (7.8, 6.9), or spec-vs-UI conflicts (7.5, 6.7).
+- [ ] **Pilot exit decision (~8 weeks post-launch).** Either restore `server/_archive/utils/checkSlackJoins.js` + its plugin if polling is needed, or delete the archive permanently. Driven by whether the manual-invite cadence is sustainable post-pilot.
+- [ ] **`slack_invite_failed` enum slug cleanup.** Detector and alert removed in `d15458b`, but the slug remains in `server/models/adminAlertDismissal.js` enum so historical dismissal rows continue to validate. Full removal needs a one-shot cleanup of stale dismissal rows in the DB. Roll into a future schema-tidy pass.
+
+---
+
+## Simplify-pass follow-ups (still open)
+
+Items surfaced during the 2026-04-29 /simplify review. The 2026-04-30 small-wins batch shipped 3 items (STATUS_LABELS dedup, ImageUpload focus, signupBridge rename). Remaining:
+
+- [ ] **Extract `.tint-candle` / `.tint-ember` utility classes.** The `color-mix(in srgb, var(--candle) 15%, transparent)` + matching border pattern is now inlined as `style=""` in ~9 sites across `EventSeriesTicketCard.vue`, `SeriesPassPurchase.vue`, `NaturalDateInput.vue`, `ImageUpload.vue`. Promote to utility classes in `app/assets/css/main.css` so future tints don't keep multiplying inline styles (and so `:hover` / `:focus` variants are reachable).
+- [ ] **Audit `member &&` truthy checks in sibling ticket/subscription routes.** Commit `f66455e` fixed `server/api/events/[id]/tickets/available.get.js:115` to use `hasMemberAccess(member)`. Same anti-pattern likely exists in adjacent routes (`tickets/purchase.post.js`, subscription endpoints). Guests/suspended/cancelled members would currently look like full members for any feature gated on truthiness alone.
+- [ ] **STATUS_LABELS dedup — verify.** The 2026-04-30 small-wins batch claimed STATUS_LABELS dedup, but `e2e/admin-members.spec.js` expansion found an inline copy still at `app/pages/admin/members/index.vue:491` and another at `app/pages/member/account.vue:420`. Either the previous dedup was partial or a new copy was reintroduced — confirm and finish dedup into a shared constants module.
+- [ ] **`app/pages/admin/members/[id].vue` status select still hand-written.** Commit `441a5f5` aligned the index page's status `<select>` to `STATUS_LABELS`, but the detail page (`[id].vue`) still hand-codes raw status options. Refactor to drive from the same constant.
+
+---
+
+## Optional / low-priority
+
+- [ ] **Welcome-email Slack-timing mention.** Currently the welcome email doesn't mention Slack timing — the dashboard carries that note. Could add a one-line "Slack invitation comes in monthly waves — there may be a short wait" if the dashboard turns out not to be enough signal.
+
+---
+
+## E2e infrastructure gaps
+
+Surfaced during the 2026-04-30 e2e expansion. None block a green suite, but each blocks specific coverage from being added.
+
+- [ ] **Other email routes still send real emails in dev mode.** The `ALLOW_DEV_TEST_ENDPOINTS` short-circuit was added to `server/api/admin/pre-registrants/invite.post.js` (which calls `new Resend(...)` directly), but the five wrapper functions in `server/utils/resend.js` (event registration, cancellation, waitlist, series pass, welcome) still dispatch live. Either add the same gate to each wrapper, or refactor the wrappers into a single `sendEmail({ from, to, subject, text, html })` helper holding the gate centrally — would also dedupe ~5 near-identical try/catch blocks.
+- [ ] **No dev endpoint to seed members of arbitrary status.** Wave-slack §7.4 (note hidden for suspended/cancelled/guest) is gated on this. `/api/dev/test-login` only mints an `active` admin. A minimal `/api/dev/members.post` accepting `{ email, status, slackInvited, ... }` would unblock many more dashboard-state e2e tests.
+- [ ] **SSR `useFetch` blocks `page.route` mocking.** Page-level fetches in `[slug].vue` files run during SSR and can't be intercepted client-side. Affects: hidden-event 404 e2e, any test that needs a mocked event payload before client hydration. Either expose a client-side fetch alternative, add a server-side test mock layer, or accept that DB seeding is required for these cases.
+- [ ] **Self-cancel block on paid event registrations not e2e-tested.** Requires seeding a logged-in member with a paid registration row. Out of scope for this round.
+- [ ] **Visual snapshot for `join — desktop` is stale.** 12,676px diff (2% of image) from layout drift. Regenerate via `npx playwright test --update-snapshots e2e/visual/pages.spec.js` once a designer eyeballs the diff.
+- [ ] **E2e cross-file races on admin specs.** With `fullyParallel: false` + `workers: 4` + `retries: 1`, ~1 admin CRUD test still fails per full-suite run (rotates between `admin-events` CRUD, `board` page-loads, and wave-slack §6.4). Each passes 100% in isolation. Root cause: tests anchor on "first row" / "any visible button" rather than uniquely-identified data, so they race when other admin specs mutate the shared dev DB. Proper fix is per-test data isolation: each test creates its own scoped record with a `Date.now()` suffix and queries by that exact identifier. Out of scope for the e2e expansion.

-## Bylaws decoupling — follow-ups (added 2026-04-18)
+## Post-launch & deferred work
 
-Context: bylaws are being amended to remove automatic termination for nonpayment. Membership status will be fully decoupled from payment status; failed payments trigger committee outreach, not status change. Copy + UI access gates already aligned in `useMemberStatus.js` and `account.vue` (2026-04-18). Server-side status gating shipped as B2 (see archive). The behavioral changes below remain.
-
-Not blocking launch — the amendment hasn't passed yet, and the user-visible copy/UI is already consistent. Pick up once the amendment is ratified.
-
-### B1. `cancel-subscription` flips status to `pending_payment`
-- `server/api/members/cancel-subscription.post.js:31,48`
-- When a member cancels their paid subscription, status is set to `pending_payment` and contribution amount to `0`. Under the new model, cancelling a payment plan moves the member to the $0 contribution — status should stay `active`.
-- **Fix:** change `status: 'pending_payment'` → `status: 'active'` in both the `findByIdAndUpdate` payload (line 31) and the response (line 48). Comment at line 26 also needs updating ("(not cancelled) so member can re-subscribe" → reflect new framing).
-- Add coverage in `tests/server/api/cancel-subscription.test.js` if it doesn't already exist.
-
-### B3. Vestigial `pending_payment` status
-- Once payment is fully decoupled, `pending_payment` no longer gates anything and is functionally equivalent to `active`. Consider removing it from the enum (`server/models/member.js:38`, `server/utils/schemas.js:299`) and treating new signups as `active` from the moment of account creation.
-- Touches: signup flow (`helcim/customer.post.js:34`, `invite/accept.post.js:48`), admin filter UI (`app/pages/admin/members/index.vue:45,382,499,1145`, `[id].vue:69,286`), admin alerts (`server/utils/adminAlerts.js:22,100-116`, `server/models/adminAlertDismissal.js:6`), and a data migration to flip existing `pending_payment` rows to `active`.
-- Larger refactor — break out into its own ticket once B1 lands.
-
-### B4. Admin "Pending Payment" filter label (cosmetic)
-- `app/pages/admin/members/index.vue:45,499`, `[id].vue:69` show `pending_payment` as "Pending Payment". If B3 removes the status entirely, this disappears too. If we keep `pending_payment` for now, rename in admin UI to "Payment setup incomplete" so admins also stop conflating it with membership state.
-

-
-## Post-launch backlog
-
-See `docs/TODO.md` for:
-- Button minimum target size (WCAG AAA 2.5.5).
-- `/oidc/interaction/[uid]` routing quirk.
-- Admin layout migration from `guild-*` tokens to zine spec.
-- Admin dashboard quick-action button contrast.
-- Members table NAME column clipping.
-- OWASP ASVS L1 Phase 4 (file-upload validation pipeline, granular RBAC, credential encryption).
-- `tickets/available.get.js:115` `memberSavings` block reports `$0 saved` for inactive members — cosmetic; suppress comparison block when `!hasMemberAccess(member)` if it ever surfaces in UI.
-- Simplify-pass follow-ups (2026-04-25): source-grep test bloat, login/verify rate-limit gap, stringly-typed `metadata.type`, reconcile-payments sequential loop, stale `new Date()` in events list, `loadPublicSeries` helper extraction.
-
-### Known gotchas worth addressing post-launch
-
-- **Subscription cache fed wrong field on CREATE.** `subscription.post.js` and `update-contribution.post.js` read `subscription.nextBillingDate` from Helcim's CREATE response, but Helcim returns `dateBilling`. The lazy refresh in `subscription.get.js` masks this (handles both shapes), so next-charge rendering works — but the cache starts empty. Fix at the CREATE sites so the cache is correct from first write.
-- **Admin edit does not sync Helcim `recurringAmount`.** `/admin/members/[id]` PUT writes `contributionAmount` direct to Mongo by design. Admins must PATCH Helcim manually. Worth surfacing in admin UI or docs.
-- **Cadence switch rejected on active subscriptions.** `update-contribution.post.js:184-189` refuses cadence changes mid-subscription; no UI toggle exists on `/member/account`. Adding cadence switch would require a Helcim subscription replacement flow, not a plain update.
-- **`SeriesPassPurchase.vue` doesn't auto-refresh after purchase.** (Observed 2026-04-21 during Phase 4 series-pass functional tests.) Component's local `$fetch` to `/api/series/{id}/tickets/available` fires on mount + `userEmail` watch, but isn't re-invoked after a successful purchase — the "already registered" state only appears on next navigation. Parent page calls `refreshNuxtData()` but the component doesn't participate in it. Fix: call `fetchPassInfo()` after the success toast in `handleSubmit`, or lift the fetch to `useAsyncData` so it can be refreshed from outside.
-- **S2 test fixture `id`/`slug` inconsistency.** (Local dev only.) Seeded S2 series has `id: 'test-s2-drop-in-allowed'` but `slug: 'test-s2-drop-in-allowed-series'`. Doesn't affect prod — fix the seed script if anyone re-runs fixtures and is confused why `id`-based Mongo queries return empty.
-
-### Events-surface visual audit — deferred items (2026-04-21)
-
-Context: Phase 4 audit against `docs/specs/events-visual-audit-findings.md` fixed all critical phantom-palette, rounded-corner, CTA-mismatch, and input-styling issues across `EventTicketCard`, `EventTicketPurchase`, `EventSeriesTicketCard`, `SeriesPassPurchase`. Items below were explicitly deferred or out of reach.
-
-- **Success-state color convention (4 instances).** "You're Registered!" blocks use `--candle` (gold) instead of `--green`. Touches `EventSeriesTicketCard.vue:186-196` (still uses phantom `candlelight-*` classes — preserved byte-for-byte pending decision) and registered-state wrappers in `SeriesPassPurchase.vue`. Needs a UX call on whether success should render gold (zine-consistent) or green (semantic). Once decided, finish the phantom-palette removal on those 4 lines.
-- **Sidebar breakpoint unverified.** `app/layouts/default.vue:89` hides the sidebar at ≤1024px per spec. Browser `resize_window` tool refused viewport changes during the audit, so the actual crossover and any layout shift at 1023–1025px was never visually confirmed. Do a manual responsive check before declaring the sidebar pattern shipped.
-- **`EventTicketPurchase.vue:469` magic padding.** `.consent-hint { padding-left: 24px; }` is a hardcoded offset to align the hint under the checkbox text. Cosmetic; swap for a gap/grid approach when touching the consent block next.
-- **Toast API rename unverified.** Nuxt UI v4 may have renamed `toast.add({ timeout })` → `{ duration }`. Current `SeriesPassPurchase.vue` toasts still pass `timeout`. No visible breakage, but worth confirming against current Nuxt UI docs.
-- **`.section-label` extraction candidate.** Several audited files repeat the same uppercase/letter-spaced small label pattern inline. Low-priority refactor into a utility class in `main.css`.
-- **Past-events toggle component.** Existing, untouched this pass; noted in findings doc as a future consistency check.
-
-### Contribution-amount redesign — cosmetic cleanup (naming only, not behavior)
-- Rename admin members column header "Tier" → "Contribution" (`app/pages/admin/members/index.vue:265`).
-- Delete dead `app/components/TierPicker.vue`.
-- Update stale tier comment in `app/composables/useMemberPayment.js:59`.
-- Update error log message referencing "tier" in `server/api/members/update-contribution.post.js:221`.
-- Rename `handleUpdateTier` handler in `app/pages/member/account.vue`.
