Marc-André Bombeck a69666fa16 feat(account): hold account deletion and data wipe for a grace window
Deleting an account, a guardian deleting a managed profile, and "Delete
all data" were final the moment they were confirmed: the account row
cascaded into every table and every stored copy, and the off-host objects
were purged in the same breath. Nothing short of rolling the whole
instance back could return one account.

ACCOUNT_DELETION_GRACE_DAYS (14 by default, at most 30, 0 erases at once
as before) now sets a window:

- Account and managed-profile deletion lock the account (migration 0488:
  deletion_requested_at, deletion_purge_at, deletion_requested_by_id).
  Every session, refresh token, API token, connector, share link and
  step-up elevation is revoked in the same transaction, and the record,
  its stored copies and its off-host objects are left as they are.
- Sign-in is refused with 403 auth.account.deletion_pending and the
  erasure date, after the credential was proved and before a second
  factor is asked for. The session and Bearer resolvers and the acting-
  account resolver refuse a pending account too, so a credential minted
  in the moment before the lock is useless.
- POST /api/admin/users/{id}/undo-deletion (cookie-only, audit-logged)
  clears the lock. The admin users list reports the pending state.
- The hourly account-deletion-purge job erases accounts whose window has
  ended, exactly as the immediate deletion did, with the off-host purge
  request committed alongside. The Guardian invariant is decided again;
  a refused erasure stays pending and is reported.
- A wipe first stores the whole record as a PRE_WIPE_<ms> copy through
  the writer the weekly copy uses, keeps it out of the wipe, and holds
  its off-host purge back with a new not_before on the request. The
  ordinary restore brings the record back; restoring that copy withdraws
  the held purge. The purge job deletes the copy when its window ends.

Background work skips accounts pending deletion through one shared
predicate (src/lib/account-deletion/active-account.ts): every reminder,
digest, Coach, sync, backfill, rollup, score and backup enumeration
filters with it, and account-deletion-enumeration-guard.test.ts fails on
a query in background work that neither filters nor says why it need
not. Notification delivery and the AI capability loader refuse a pending
account as chokepoints behind it, and the Withings, WHOOP and Telegram
webhooks and the notification quick actions ignore one.

The privacy summary publishes the window. Two pieces of the reminder tick
and the off-host pass moved into modules of their own to keep the files
inside their size ratchet.

docs/ — internal reference + operator playbooks

The user-facing documentation lives at https://docs.healthlog.dev — that's the canonical surface for self-hosting guides, integration walkthroughs, AI-provider setup, and the doctor-report workflow.

The files in this directory are the internal operator playbooks, audit notes, and machine-readable specs that ship alongside the source:

  • api/ — the OpenAPI 3.1 spec for the native-client subset (iOS DTO codegen target). See api/README.md for the preview commands. Also home to the MCP-server contract: api/mcp-capabilities.md (tools, resources, prompts, write model) and api/mcp-skills.md (building a connector / skill).
  • ops/ — operator runbooks: deploy, backup / restore, encryption-key rotation, password reset and account recovery, env checks, TLS pinning, data repair. These are what an operator reaches for during an incident.
  • self-hosting/ — horizontal-scaling notes (HEALTHLOG_PROCESS_TYPE=web|worker|all) and the deploy-pipeline recipe. Routine install steps stay on docs.healthlog.dev. Includes self-hosting/mcp.md — enabling the off-by-default MCP connector and pointing Claude.ai / ChatGPT / Claude Desktop at it, and self-hosting/sso.md — OIDC SSO login: IdP setup, the identity-pinning security model, OIDC_ONLY consequences, and the break-glass runbook. Also self-hosting/geolite2.md — bringing your own offline GeoLite2 databases via GEOLITE2_DIR instead of sending login IPs to a third-party lookup. And self-hosting/account-sharing.md — letting one account on the instance open another's health record: the three access levels, the eight sections a grant can be narrowed to, managed profiles for somebody with no login and the guardians who look after them, what revocation does and does not undo, and which trust properties of the instance are unchanged by any of it. And self-hosting/support.md — reporting a problem: error ids, the support info every account can copy, the operator's redacted support report, and finding an error in the admin log.
  • using/ — notes on using the app that sit close to the code. using/search.md covers the command palette's record search: opening it, what it finds, how matching works, and its limits on very large and shared records.
  • migration/ — migration notes. Currently only v1.3 to v1.4; later releases are covered by CHANGELOG.md and https://docs.healthlog.dev.
  • integrations/ — per-integration reference (Withings, Fitbit, Google Health, WHOOP, Apple Health, AI providers, data import).
  • adr/ — architecture decision records.
  • security/ — threat-model notes.
  • diagrams/ — architecture diagrams rendered through docs.healthlog.dev.
  • releases/ — release imagery.
  • apple-store-connect-checklist.md — the iOS submission gate.
  • codex-protocol-spec.md — Codex / ChatGPT OAuth protocol reverse-engineering notes.
  • contributing/ui-standards.md — the binding UI standards: card anatomy, spacing, text colour, tokens and which primitive to use where. Read before touching any surface.
  • contributing/benchmarks.md — the large-account benchmark (latency and statements per request) and the statement budgets on the hot routes.
  • contributing/testing.md — which suite a test belongs in, the route test kit, the integration database, sharding, property and mutation tests, and the flaky-test quarantine.
  • ui-guidelines.md — UI / a11y house style; where it disagrees with the UI standards, the standards win.
