#303: operator-uploaded fonts — storage, API, PDF embedding, backup
An operator holding a font licence could only use it by baking the file
into a custom image, which tied every change to a rebuild and left the
file out of the backup.

ADR 0016 said there is no runtime font management. It also listed this
exact case under "Alternatives considered" — *may become a Site-Admin-
level feature later*. The amendment takes that option and answers the two
objections it raised: licensing risk (Site Admins only, licence recorded
with the family) and file-format attack surface (magic-byte check and a
size cap, never a parse).

- `CUSTOM_FONTS_DIR` (default `./data/fonts`) — a sibling of uploads and
  plugins, NOT inside the image-baked `FONTS_DIR`, where a deploy would
  overwrite it and no backup would ever see it.
- One list of data directories (`apps/backup/src/data-dirs.ts`) now feeds
  both the nightly archive and the restore, so they cannot drift. #306 and
  #307 add one line each instead of a second mechanism.
- Both Dockerfiles bake the path. The backup image sets its volume paths
  itself ("self-sufficient without compose env" — #71's lesson) and reads
  no *_DIR from compose; without the ENV entry the archive would have
  skipped the directory silently.
- The PDF path already read WOFF2 from disk at request time, so it only
  had to pick the other base directory for a custom family.
- `fontStack`/`fontEntry` take the instance's uploaded families as an
  argument — they are runtime data. The catalog is searched first, and a
  colliding family name is rejected at upload, so a custom font can never
  shadow a catalog one.
- Deletion is never blocked by usage: an unknown family already falls back
  to the system stack, so affected ponds degrade instead of breaking. The
  count of affected ponds travels into the audit entry.
- Audit catalogue v1.6 (`font.uploaded`, `font.deleted`).

Verified: api full suite against a fresh database, 102 files / 571 tests.
The upload suite writes into a real temp directory and reads the bytes
back off disk, so the storage layer is exercised rather than mocked.

# Audit event catalogue
**Catalogue version 1.6 (2026-08-01; 1.6 adds `font.uploaded` and
`font.deleted`, issue #303; 1.5 added `plugin.rejected`,
issue #232; 1.4 added `auth.proxy_rejected`, issue #215; 1.3 added `auth.identity_linked`, issue #214; 1.2 added
`read_trail.pruned`, issue #224; 1.1 added `page.classification_*`,
issue #205).**
This is the operator-facing contract for the audit trail: every event id
the application can emit, with its trigger, severity, actor/target
semantics, and fields. SIEM/syslog rules written against this document
survive application updates because of the compatibility promise below.
The code half of this catalogue is `apps/api/src/audit/audit-actions.ts`
(a typed union — an uncatalogued id cannot be emitted), and
`audit-catalogue.test.ts` fails CI whenever this document and that code
drift. Changing either alone is impossible.
## Compatibility promise
- **Ids are never repurposed.** The meaning of an id listed here is frozen.
- **Adding events** bumps the catalogue's minor version; existing rules
are unaffected.
- **Retiring an event** (it stops being emitted) keeps its row here,
marked retired, forever; removal of a row is a major version and is
called out in the release notes.
- Fields listed per event are stable; new optional fields may be added
(minor version), fields are never renamed or repurposed.
## Transport & field set
Audit events reach the operator on **two channels**, both fed by the same
`AuditService.record()` call:
1. **stdout log line** (pino JSON, the forwarding channel): the container
runtime captures stdout (Docker `json-file` with rotation); the
operator's collector (promtail/fluent-bit/vector/…) picks it up from
there and forwards to syslog/SIEM. **There is deliberately no
application-side syslog client** — transport, TLS and buffering are the
collector's job, one layer below the app.
2. **`audit_log` table** (the queryable trail with its own retention,
#196), shown in the Site-Admin panel.
Every audit stdout line carries this stable field set:
| Field | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `msg` | `audit: <event id>` — the selector; collectors match on the `audit: ` prefix and take the id from the remainder. |
| `severity` | The catalogue severity of the id (`info` \| `notice` \| `warning` \| `critical`) — the routing hint for rules. |
| `actor` | Acting user id, or `null` for anonymous/system events (each row below states which). |
| `targetType` / `targetId` | What the event is about (absent when the event has no target). |
| _event fields_ | The per-event fields from the tables below, flattened into the line's top level. |
| `level`, `time`, `context` | pino plumbing: always `30`/epoch-ms/`AuditService`. Severity routing uses `severity`, not `level`. |
The `audit_log` row stores the same data structurally: `action`,
`actor_id`, `target_type`, `target_id`, `details` (the per-event fields as
JSON), `at`. Secrets, tokens, request bodies, and page content never
appear in either channel (security.md §Logging).
## Events
Severity vocabulary: `critical` = page someone (integrity/security
failure), `warning` = feeds detection (suspicious or destructive),
`notice` = configuration/privilege change, `info` = normal lifecycle.

## Scope boundary
Content activity (who edited which page, file up/downloads that succeed,
exports, labels) intentionally stays out of this trail — it answers "who
changed access/configuration and did the platform detect tampering", not
"who edited what" (security.md §Logging). The read-access trail for
classified content is a separate, VS-NfD-specific mechanism (#222#225)
with its own catalogue entry when it lands.
