DEPLOY-login-portal.md was the most wrong and is rewritten. It described taking a username/password portal live - bcrypt, and a first admin created with `create-admin --password`. Every command in it now fails. It keeps its filename and carries a note saying what it replaced, because an admin holding the old copy needs to know why the steps stopped working rather than concluding the deploy is broken. New content leads with the warning that there is no break-glass, and puts verification BEFORE announcing the deploy - the log line, the certificate check that binds nothing, then a real sign-in. DEPLOYMENT.md: AUTH_RESET_* replaced with the LDAP variables; the users table row no longer claims a password_hash column; "Self-service password reset" replaced by a section saying there isn't one and pointing at Okta. New "Domain authentication" section covering the three things that are not obvious - why prime.local and never a DC or an IP, why the CA bundle is not a certificate issued to this app (with the thumbprints and a Get-ChildItem line to rebuild it), and why the outbound network stopped being optional - plus the lockout arithmetic written out so the next person to raise AUTH_MAX_ATTEMPTS sees the constraint rather than a magic 2. server/README.md: endpoint table drops /api/auth/password and gains the role route; the login-portal section becomes domain authentication; create-admin becomes the two-step bootstrap (sign in, then promote). CLAUDE.md: a new "authentication rules" section beside the token rule, for the same reason that one exists - four things that look like tidying-up if you do not know why. The empty-password guard that must run before bind(), CERT_REQUIRED with an explicit CA file, AUTH_MAX_ATTEMPTS being arithmetic rather than taste, and connecting to the domain name rather than a DC. Plus: no break-glass, and roles are local - never read a role from AD. Closed three done-when boxes that were open rather than ticked: T10.8 all of them T10.9 promote/demote verified against a real bind (Aug 24), not a stub T10.3 the Postgres round trip, on postgres:16-alpine Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
