Rule 32 "Comments describe the product to a stranger" sweep over
src/, alembic/ and tests/. Comments and docstrings now say what the code
does and the reason as a present-tense constraint, briefly.
Removed:
- issue, task, note, rule, milestone and family-idea references
- "used to" / before-and-after narration
- quotes of decisions and incident stories from the deploying instance
- paragraph-length arguments, where a line or two carries the fact
Kept every hazard as a present-tense fact, e.g. timing oracles, the
proxy hop direction, and migrations that must stay frozen.
Also:
- Three test names lose "still"/"used to"/"pre_m304" phrasing.
- pyproject's description drops "FabledSword family".
The history these comments carried stays in Scribe and in git log.
A comment-stripping diff (Scribe snippet #6226 "codeonly.py — prove a
diff changed only comments") shows no code changed apart from the
renamed tests and the description string.

- users.is_admin; first registered user becomes admin; registration gated by the
allow_registration setting (first account always allowed). is_admin in
/api/auth/* responses; require_admin guard (live DB check).
- settings table + code registry (site_name, allow_registration, session_ttl_days)
with typed defaults — empty table = all defaults (rule 26). get/set/validate
service; GET /api/config (public) + GET/PATCH /api/settings (admin), live
session-TTL apply with no restart (rule 25).
- Cookie-signing secret now persisted in the DB (before_serving load-or-create),
so sessions survive restarts with no volume. Config: DATABASE_URL is the only
required env; SECRET_KEY + DATA_DIR are optional break-glass items.
- Migration 0003; DB-free tests for settings validation + admin guard.
