# Family onboarding & distribution site

The distribution site (landing + account wizard) lives in `pb_public/` and is
served by PocketBase itself at `/` — same origin as the API, no extra service.
It exists so a family member can be fully set up **from a browser**: create an
account, receive the family addon config (encrypted client-side), and log the
TV in via the existing device sign-in flow — without ever installing Amber on a
PC or typing addon URLs.

## Pages

| `AMBER_INVITE_CODE` | The single family invite code. **Unset → registration and the template route are disabled (fail closed).** Set it in Coolify. |

## Routes (pb_hooks/onboarding.pb.js)

### users create gate
Creating a `users` record requires the invite code — header `X-Amber-Invite`
(what the wizard sends) or `?invite=` query fallback. Superusers bypass.
**Note:** this also closes the previously-open in-app registration; the app's
register screen will refuse without a code until it grows an invite field
(family onboarding happens through the site, so this is acceptable).

### GET /api/amber/onboarding-template?code=CODE
Returns the admin-maintained plaintext family config:

```json
{ "addonUrl": "…", "czechAddonUrl": "…", "tmdbKey": "…" }
```

- `403` bad code · `429` after 10 bad codes / 5 min / IP · `404` no template
  record · `503` env unset.
- **Deliberately no 18+ fields** — the template is family config by
  definition (mirrors the #14/#20 child stripping), and Amber has no 18+ content.
- Plaintext travels once over TLS to the wizard, which encrypts it under the
  *new user's* password (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 210k → AES-256-GCM, blob =
  `base64(nonce[12] ‖ ct ‖ tag[16])`, `kdf = pbkdf2-sha256-210000`) and pushes
  it as the account's `addon_config` row — the server still stores only
  ciphertext per account. Interop with the app's `AddonConfigCrypto` is
  verified (a wizard-produced blob decrypts in the app's Dart crypto).

### GET /get/tv
Streams the newest `releases` row with `platform=android && variant=clean` as
`amber-tv.apk` (attachment). Public by design: the TV-sideload path (the
Downloader app needs a plain URL, a fresh TV has no account, and the APK is
useless without one). One build ships, so there is nothing else to serve.

## Template maintenance (admin)

One record in the `onboarding_template` collection, edited via the PocketBase
admin UI (`/_/`). Fields: `addonUrl`, `czechAddonUrl`, `tmdbKey` (+ free-form
`note`). Same value shapes the app's Settings store (base URLs without
`/manifest.json`). The hook serves the newest record if several exist — keep
just one. No client can read the collection directly (all rules null).

## Wizard flow (onboarding.html)

1. `POST /api/collections/users/records` with `X-Amber-Invite` (email +
   password).
2. `auth-with-password` → token.
3. `POST /api/collections/profiles/records` — the default profile, named by
   the user ("Kdo se bude dívat?"). The app adopts the earliest-created
   profile on first login (`CloudSyncService._ensureProfile`), so this *is*
   their profile.
4. Template fetch → client-side encrypt → `POST /api/collections/addon_config/records`
   (`profile`, `blob`, `salt` (fresh 16 B), `kdf`, `updatedAt`).
5. Success: TV instructions (`/get/tv` + "Přihlásit z jiného zařízení" →
   `/device`), plus login-token-gated Windows/Linux download buttons (existing
   `/api/update/manifest` + `/api/files/token`).

Template application is optional (checkbox, default on); every failure past
account creation degrades gracefully — the account still works, config can be
entered in-app.

## Coolify deploy

1. DNS: `amber.petruzalekr.cz` → the server.
2. The service's **Domains** field becomes a comma-separated list:
   `https://pb.petruzalekr.cz,https://amber.petruzalekr.cz` (save, don't
   "Generate Domain", then restart). The site is host-agnostic (relative API
   paths), so both domains work; hand the family the `amber.` one.
3. Env: add `AMBER_INVITE_CODE=<code>` and redeploy.
4. Admin UI → `onboarding_template` → create the one record with the real
   values.
5. Publish releases (`scripts/publish-release.sh`) so `/get/tv` and the
   download buttons have something to serve.

## Local verification (2026-07-22)

Native `pocketbase serve` against the repo dirs + `AMBER_INVITE_CODE`:
signup refused without/with wrong code (Czech error) and accepted via header
and query · template route 403/200/429(10 per 5 min)/404 paths · full wizard
run in a real browser produced the user, the named profile, and an
`addon_config` blob that **decrypted with the app's Dart `AddonConfigCrypto`**
with every field intact · `/get/tv` streamed a
published dummy APK byte-identical with the attachment header · landing's
download login handled the no-releases state.

## The setup flow for someone with their own accounts (2026-08-12)

The family path is the `onboarding_template` route above: one code, and the shared
credentials arrive already filled in. This is the other path, for someone who is
trusted with an account but brings their own subscriptions, and until now had to
work out on their own that Amber needs paid accounts somewhere before it can find
anything.

`#start` is a tab in `index.html`, not a new page, because the deploy copies files
into `pb_public` and never deletes the ones a commit removed. That is why stale
`onboarding.html` and `settings.html` still answer 200 and need shadow routes in
`web.pb.js`, and one file avoids repeating it.

### The six steps

| | Step | Finished when |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Change the generated password | `onboarding.pwChangedAt` is set |
| 2 | Choose services | `onboarding.chosen` is non-empty |
| 3 | Create accounts and pay | an `addon_config` row exists |
| 4 | Get a TMDB key | the decrypted config has `tmdbKey` |
| 5 | Enter the credentials in Zdroje | an `addon_config` row exists |
| 6 | Download and pair | never; you can always want the app again |

Steps 1, 5 and 6 hand off to the existing Účet, Zdroje and Stáhnout tabs. This
screen owns no credentials and no crypto, deliberately: a second encryptor for one
blob is how a vault gets corrupted. Step 5 in particular is just a signpost to
`adByocBox`, which already turns usernames and keys into addon URLs by calling the
addon's `/encode` straight from the browser.

**The password is step 1 and not step 6.** Changing it re-keys the vault with a
fresh salt, so every device already signed in holds a stale key until it
authenticates again. First, while the vault is still empty, there is nothing to
re-encrypt and no paired television to strand, and the password is still in memory
from the sign-in that just happened.

### State: three fields, and everything else derived

`users.onboarding` is json holding only `skipped`, `chosen` and `pwChangedAt`.
Nothing else needs storing: whether the sources exist is `CONFIGS.length`, and
whether TMDB is set is a field in the decrypted config. A second copy of a
derivable fact eventually disagrees with the first, and then the flow either nags
someone who has finished or congratulates someone who has not.

`pwChangedAt` is the exception that cannot be derived, because PocketBase records
no password-changed timestamp and `updated` moves for any edit. Absent means "as
far as we know, still on the password the owner generated", which is the honest
default for a reminder.

The flow opens itself only when there is no `addon_config` and `skipped` is not
set, so the family, who all have sources already, never see it. An explicit
`#hash` always wins so bookmarks still land where they say.

### Content lives in `providers`, not in the page

Prices and click-paths go stale on somebody else's schedule, and a wrong price on
our own page reads as a promise. `providers` is editable in the admin UI and
`priceCheckedAt` renders next to the number, so a stale figure looks stale.
`scripts/providers.seed.json` is the starting point; `scripts/seed-providers.py`
upserts by slug and leaves existing rows alone unless given `--force`, so it is
safe to run after any deploy.

`slug` is load-bearing: the page keys its wiring off `torbox`, `prehrajto`,
`webshare` and `tmdb`, and the seeder refuses anything else. Everything else is
free text.

`kind` separates the two questions the flow asks. `source` rows are a choice to
weigh up; `metadata` (TMDB) is not optional and is not offered as one, because
without a key there are no posters and no descriptions.

### Verified locally (2026-08-12)

Against PocketBase 0.39.6, the pinned version, run from a throwaway data dir with
this repo's real `pb_migrations`, `pb_hooks` and `pb_public`. Docker was not used:
its daemon is disabled on the dev box and the binary alone is enough.

Both migrations applied clean on a fresh database. Then, as a locally created test
user with no sources: the flow opened itself; choosing prehraj.to and TorBox
persisted as `{"chosen":["prehrajto","torbox"]}` and nothing else; step 3 rendered
both guides numbered with working links; skipping moved to Profily and raised the
banner; a reload kept it skipped rather than reopening; resuming came back in.

Not yet verified: the whole thing against the live instance, and a real TorBox or
webshare signup followed end to end by someone who does not already know the
answer.

## Several shared-credential groups, one code each (2026-08-12)

The family shares one set of paid accounts. Friends now get a second set that is
deliberately not the family's, so `onboarding_template` holds one row per group.

`name` labels it, `code` unlocks it, `isDefault` marks the family. The unique index
on `code` is partial (`WHERE code != ''`) because PocketBase text fields default to
`''` and SQLite treats two empty strings as equal, which would otherwise stop a
second row from existing until both had codes.

### The code chooses the row, which it did not before

The route used to check the code and then take the most recently updated row:

```js
findRecordsByFilter("onboarding_template", "id != ''", "-updated", 1, 0)
```

With one row that was invisible. With two it would have handed the family's
credentials to friends, or the reverse, depending only on which row was edited
last, silently and with no error. The lookup is now `code = {:code}` bound as a
parameter, and `AMBER_INVITE_CODE` is a fallback that opens the `isDefault` row so
nobody mid-setup broke and Coolify needed no edit. Once the family row carries its
own code the env var is redundant.

A wrong code and a code with no row behind it both return 403. Distinguishing them
would confirm which codes exist. The per-IP failure limit is unchanged and stays
per IP rather than per code, so guessing at one group cannot earn a fresh budget by
switching to another.

### status.html is the FAMILY editor, explicitly

The dashboard read the template in three places, all `sort=-updated`, and its own
comment warned "never create a second, or `-updated` ordering in the hook would
start deciding which config the family gets". All three now go through
`familyTemplate()`, which selects on `isDefault` and falls back to the single row
only on an instance that never had a template. So adding a friends row cannot make
the editor wander onto it, and cannot make account creation preload the wrong
group.

### The dashboard edits any group (added same day)

A `skupina` dropdown above the fields, listing every row plus **+ nová skupina**.
The selection lives in `tplSel` rather than being read off the `<select>`, because
`load()` re-renders the section from scratch and the choice has to survive that.
Switching groups drops unsaved edits, which is the honest behaviour: they belonged
to the group you just left.

`name` and `code` are editable here too, and `code` is masked with the other
secrets behind *zobrazit hodnoty*, because it is one.

**Ticking `výchozí` unticks it everywhere else.** `familyTemplate()` is gone, but
the route's fallback for the old `AMBER_INVITE_CODE` still takes "the" `isDefault`
row, so two of them would put us back to the original bug: which credentials the
old code hands out would depend on edit order. Saving with the box ticked clears
the flag on every other row and says so in the confirmation.

Account creation takes a **sdílené nastavení** dropdown instead of the old
family-only checkbox: every group, plus *žádné* for someone bringing their own
accounts. It defaults to the `isDefault` row, so the previous behaviour is what you
get by not touching it. `preloadFamilyConfig` became `preloadSharedConfig(userId,
name, password, tplId)` and fetches the chosen row by id.

Fixed in passing: the save confirmation was written and then destroyed by `load()`
re-rendering the section, so it had always flashed and vanished. It matters now
because the message reports that the default group moved.

### Verified locally (2026-08-12)

PocketBase 0.39.6 from a throwaway data dir with this repo's real migrations, hooks
and pages, `AMBER_INVITE_CODE=legacy-family-code`, and two rows carrying
deliberately different credentials.

With **friends** as the most recently updated row, which is the exact state that
used to break:

| given | resolves to |
|---|---|
| the friends code | friends credentials |
| the family's own code | family credentials |
| `AMBER_INVITE_CODE` | family credentials, via `isDefault` |
| a wrong code | 403 |
| an empty code | 403 |
| a second row reusing a code | rejected, 400, by the unique index |

`familyTemplate()` returned `family` while `-updated` returned `friends`, which is
the divergence the change exists to create. Rate limiting still allows ten failures
and answers 429 on the eleventh.

### Dashboard verified locally (2026-08-12)

Driven through the page's own handlers against three rows with deliberately
different credentials. Screenshots were unavailable in this session (the browser
pane was not displayed), so this was checked at the DOM level rather than by eye.

- the picker listed `family (výchozí)`, `friends`, `kolegove`, `+ nová skupina`,
  and the create form listed all three plus *žádné*, with the default preselected;
- switching to `friends` loaded the friends' code and TorBox URL, not the family's;
- `+ nová skupina` cleared every field rather than inheriting the previous group's;
- a nameless save was refused; reusing another group's code reported
  `code: Value must be unique.` rather than a bare 400;
- saving a new group with `výchozí` ticked moved the marker off `family`, and
  putting it back reported "Výchozí skupina je teď „family“, ne „kolegove“";
- afterwards all four codes resolved to their own credentials (three group codes
  plus `AMBER_INVITE_CODE` to family) and exactly one row held `isDefault`.
