Web Foundations dogfood notes

This living note records concrete pressure discovered while Gamertan services adopt Web Foundations. It is implementation evidence, not a promise that every application concern belongs in the shared module.

Gamertan accounts and commerce

• The account email remains required and unique. Gamertan uses normalized email as the canonical login identifier and keeps username as a stable public identity. Until a mail package exists, the application must not describe an address as verified merely because it was entered during registration.
• Password authentication is sufficient for an ordinary customer base session. Privileged application actions use an exact operation binding with authwebauthn.BeginApproval and FinishApproval; that is safer than a broad long-lived "elevated" session. A user without a passkey can use ordinary features but must enroll one before performing protected work.
• auth.Service.VerifyPassword remains available for flows that truly require password plus passkey before session issuance.
• Public registration exposed a cross-package transaction boundary. The account package now keeps an unusable bounded registration draft and makes recovery-code digests, personal organization, membership, owner binding, activation, audits, and an optional initial passkey one repository commit. A failed WebAuthn ceremony can be restarted, or an ordinary password account can finish without it, without persisting a partly privileged account.
• Media belongs behind a storage-neutral interface with a hardened local adapter. Content workflow, references, and authorization remain application policy.
• Historical authsqlite.Open still migrates for compatibility. Applications with reviewed deployment gates use OpenWithOptions with migration disabled, require the current schema at startup, and invoke Migrate only from an explicit operator command.
• Commerce remains a separately versioned nested module so payment-provider policy and catalog evolution do not enlarge the authentication core.
