Two findings from Stefan's manual clean install per the guide, both
ending in an api restart loop that was hard to diagnose:

- #324: the guide recommended `openssl rand -base64 32` for
  POSTGRES_PASSWORD, but the compose interpolates the password unescaped
  into DATABASE_URL — base64's `/`, `+`, `=` break the URL. Misleadingly,
  db stays healthy (it gets the password as a plain env var) while
  api/collab/backup crash. Guide and .env.example now recommend
  `openssl rand -hex 24` for both secrets and say why; Troubleshooting
  gained the symptom line.
- #325: SETUP_ADMIN_PASSWORD's minimum (10 chars,
  packages/shared/src/auth.ts) was undocumented, and a violation crashed
  the boot with a raw ZodError naming schema fields and i18n keys.
  Failing the boot stays — deliberately, no half-seeded instance — but
  preseedFromEnv now translates validation errors into operator terms
  ("Pre-seeding failed: SETUP_ADMIN_PASSWORD must be at least 10
  characters. Fix .env and recreate the api container."). Documented in
  the guide's first-run section, .env.example, and Troubleshooting; new
  test pins the message and that nothing is half-seeded afterwards.

When the api runs against a database without the setup.completedAt
marker, a global SetupGuard answers every non-exempt route with 503
setup_required; only /setup/*, health probes, and the session routes
stay reachable. The wizard steps (POST /setup/admin|instance|smtp|
registration|complete) write straight to their production homes; the
Site Admin step signs its creator in, later steps require that session.
Completing sets the marker and locks every step permanently (410, also
across restarts, and not reopenable via PATCH /admin/settings).

SMTP entered in the wizard is verified with a live delivery test first
(failure blocks the step with the transport error as detail) and then
persisted to the new env-backed secret store: a mode-600 dotenv file on
the new `secrets` volume (SECRETS_FILE). Explicit container env always
wins over the store; empty compose-passed strings count as unset. The
mail transport now resolves lazily through SmtpConfigService so wizard
changes apply without a restart.

SETUP_ADMIN_* env pre-seeds the whole wizard at boot for automated
deploys; a backfill migration marks instances that already have a Site
Admin as completed, and seed/vitest global-setup do the same for
fixture databases. The setup e2e suite provisions its own fresh
database (CREATE DATABASE + migrate deploy) per run.
