feat(admin): make the token lifetimes, cart hold and greeting configurable (#136)
Giving the customer emails a tab of their own (#135) made a family of related holes visible: an admin could edit the wording of every customer email, but not the facts that wording asserted, and two templates could not address the customer at all. Both token lifetimes were hardcoded twice. VERIFY_TOKEN_TTL_MS sat in routes/customers.ts while the verification body separately said "This link expires in 24 hours", and RESET_TOKEN_TTL_MS sat beside a body separately saying "one hour". The prose was not derived from the constant, it was a second hand-written copy of the same fact — so making the constants configurable without addressing that would have made things worse, not better: the setting moves to two hours and the email keeps confidently promising one. Both are now settings, and both templates state their lifetime through an {{expiresIn}} placeholder rendered from the setting. The cart reminder gains {{holdDuration}} for the same reason. Per-item deadlines were already inside {{itemList}}, but there was no way to write a sentence about the hold itself without hardcoding a number the cart expiry setting could change underneath the author. All three durations render through one formatDuration(), so the reset email and the cart reminder say "one hour" the same way rather than in two authors' phrasing. A fractional hour drops to minutes, because "0.5 hours" reads badly and "1.5 hours" reads worse in a sentence a customer is meant to act on. Every template now offers greeting, firstName and lastName. favoriteSold and favoriteWithdrawn previously offered only itemName and siteUrl and could not address anyone — the query behind them never selected a name, so it does now. The greeting itself is two settings, a format and a fallback, rather than the wording baked into greeting(). The fallback is separate rather than the format with the name edited out: that editing is guesswork that has to be right every time, and getting it wrong ships "Hi ," to everyone who registered while first names were still optional (#106). Those customers exist, which is why greeting() guarded the case in the first place. The admin preview renders the durations and the greeting from the live settings rather than from a static sample. The preview exists so an admin sees the email that will be sent, and a sample reading "one hour" while the setting says two is the precise failure these placeholders were added to remove. Settings are read through a new adminSettings accessor. cart_expiry_hours was previously read by an inline query in two places, each with its own `|| '24'`; with five settings and read sites across three routes and the cron job, a default written twice is a default that will eventually disagree with itself. Values are stored as text, so each definition declares how to read it back — numbers were the only kind until the greeting format arrived. The new placeholders are available but never required, so every template an admin has already saved keeps rendering and keeps sending. Also fixes updateAdminSettings announcing success for a save the server refused: it returned the 400 body as though it were the saved settings, so the form reported "Settings saved" either way. Closes #136 |

feat(backend): make the five customer emails editable copy (#92)
Every customer email was a template literal in the route that sent it, so changing a word meant a code change, a review and a deploy. All five now render from markdown that an admin can edit: verification, password reset, favorite sold, favorite withdrawn, and the cart reminder. Five, not the four the issue counted — the favorite alerts have separate copy for sold and withdrawn.
markdown-it runs with html disabled, which is its default and the reason for choosing it over marked. Raw HTML in a stored body is escaped rather than passed through, so editing copy cannot put script into a customer's inbox. That is a stronger guarantee than sanitising output, because there is no output to sanitise.
Values are substituted into the markdown before it renders, which means a value that should become a list has to arrive as markdown. The cart reminder previously built li elements by hand; those would now be escaped and shown to the customer as literal angle brackets, so it emits a markdown list instead. The greeting is one placeholder rather than a bare name, so a template author writes {{greeting}} instead of "Hi {{firstName}}," — which reads as "Hi ," for anyone who registered before first names were required.
Saving is refused when a body has dropped a placeholder it needs, naming all of them rather than the first. This is the rule that separates a convenience from a way to break password resets from a settings screen: a reset email with no link still sends, still looks correct in the log, and is useless to everyone who receives it.
The favorite alerts' consent sentence is appended by the server and is not editable. It explains why the customer is receiving the mail, which is a compliance artifact rather than copy, and editing wording should not be able to delete it.
Unset templates fall back to the built-in defaults, so an install that never touches the settings screen behaves exactly as it did. The API reports an uncustomised template as null rather than as its default text, so "never edited" stays distinguishable from "edited to something identical", and DELETE restores the default by forgetting the row rather than writing the default into it.
Two problems surfaced during verification, both worth recording.
Five favorite-alert tests failed with no error and no mail. The cause was not this code: resetDb does not truncate admin_settings, so a subject of "Gone" stored by the new template tests survived into a later suite and changed the mail it was asserting on. Cleaning up inside the template tests would have fixed only that pairing, so resetDb now clears stored templates for every suite — template rows are test data like any other, and one outliving the suite that wrote it makes a failure appear somewhere unrelated.
The withdrawal notification then failed on timing. Loading copy from the database made the sender async, and the removal path was fire-and-forget, so the response could beat the mail out of the door. Dispatch was previously synchronous even though the sends themselves were not awaited; that is now restored by awaiting it.
Verified: 197 unit and 195 integration passing, lint unchanged at 4 warnings. The admin screen for editing these follows in the next commit.

feat: tell favoriters when an item is withdrawn (#34)
Deleting an item cascades its favorites away, so anyone watching it lost the record silently and heard nothing. Recipients are now collected before the delete, since after it there is nobody left to look up, and the mail is sent only once the delete has succeeded so nobody hears about a withdrawal that did not happen. Items that had already sold are excluded. Their favoriters were told at the point of sale, and a second "no longer available" for the same item reads as a duplicate rather than news. The wording differs from the sale notification — withdrawn rather than sold — because the customer did not lose out to another buyer and saying so would be untrue.

feat: favorite items and notify when a favorite is sold (#34)
Customers can favorite and unfavorite items from the storefront, opt in to being told when a favorite is sold to someone else, and manage that preference from their account page. The opt-in is a consent of its own rather than the existing marketing flag. Being told that a specific item you asked about has gone is a narrower thing than agreeing to marketing, and folding one into the other would leave marketing_consent_text no longer describing what was actually agreed to. It is recorded the same way as the marketing consent — flag, timestamp, and the exact wording shown — and accepting it does not set marketing_consent. The prompt appears only after a customer has actually favorited something, so the reason for asking is concrete rather than an abstract marketing ask, and it says plainly that it is separate from marketing email. Declining keeps the favorite. Notifications fire when an item reaches sold, either through checkout or an admin marking it sold, and never to the buyer — telling someone the item they just bought is unavailable reads as a bug. Reserved is deliberately not a trigger: reservations expire and get released, so a "gone" email would often be about an item still for sale. Disabled accounts are excluded, per #33. completeCheckout now returns the sold item ids and the buyer so its three call sites can notify after COMMIT. Sending inside the transaction would email people about a sale that then rolled back, and would hold the transaction open for SMTP. Each message is sent independently so one bad address cannot stop the rest, and the sale has already succeeded regardless. Favoriting while signed out opens the existing inline register/login modal, exactly as Add to Cart does, and completes the favorite on success. Also fixes a latent bug in the same component: while the session was still resolving, `customer` is null for a signed-in visitor too, so clicking Add to Cart or the new heart in that window prompted them to sign in again. Both now ignore clicks until the session has resolved, and the control shows as loading meanwhile. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |
