#306: instance branding — logo and favicon, cropped in the browser
An instance had no way to look like itself: the top bar said "Dorfteich"
whatever the operator called their instance, `instance.name` was never
rendered in the running app at all, and there was no favicon anywhere —
`index.html` had no `<link rel="icon">` and `public/` held only fonts and
theme-init.js.

Where the line is drawn, and why:

- **The api never decodes an image.** Cropping, scaling and the conversion
  to PNG happen on a canvas in the browser; the api checks the PNG
  signature, reads the IHDR dimensions at their fixed offsets and enforces
  the caps. An image library would put a decoder in front of
  attacker-supplied bytes AND would have to be carried through the
  `--network none` offline build. Reading two big-endian integers is not
  decoding.
- **SVG is refused**, with its own error message rather than a generic
  "not a PNG": it can carry script, and serving it from our own origin
  would be a cross-site-scripting vector. An operator who tried one should
  learn that it is deliberate.
- **The crop is driven by number inputs, not by dragging.** A drag-only
  cropper excludes keyboard and switch users outright; a number input is
  arrow-key operable and screen-reader readable without any custom aria.
  The resulting pixel size is stated in text, not only drawn as a frame.
- **The variant is chosen by CSS, not JavaScript.** `theme-init.js` has
  already resolved `data-theme` before first paint, so the correct logo is
  the one painted rather than the one that appears after a flash. Without a
  dark variant the LIGHT logo carries both themes — the operator's own
  asset shown unchanged beats one they did not choose (the rule #307
  extends to ponds). The settings screen warns; it never blocks.
- **The favicon link is static, its resource dynamic.** index.html stays a
  static file and the api answers with the uploaded icon or a shipped
  default — that route must never 404, or the browser keeps its generic
  icon for good. The default is generated by a script from Node's own zlib
  (`gen-default-favicon.mjs`), for the same offline-build reason.
- Both favicon sizes are uploaded together: one source, one crop, so the
  tab icon and the home-screen icon can never disagree.
- Branding is served WITHOUT a session, because the login screen carries it
  and the browser fetches the favicon before anyone signs in. The admin
  screen says so — an operator may not expect their logo to be public.
- The metadata is not writable through the settings endpoint: it describes
  bytes on disk, and hand-writing it would claim an asset that is not
  there.

`./data/branding` follows the three-step rule #303 paid for: env default +
`data-dirs.ts` entry, compose volume (repo AND the stages on ONE), and the
`mkdir`/`chown` line in the api Dockerfile. `data-dirs.test.ts` is new and
closes the hole that made #303's variant invisible: the nightly archive
skips a missing directory WORDLESSLY, so the fence now demands that every
`*_DIR` the backup env declares actually travels in the archive. Verified
against the real defect — removing the line fails it by name.

Audit catalogue v1.7 (`branding.changed`), carrying `scope` from the start
so #307 is the same event with a different scope, not a second id.

Verified: api suite 103 files green (a lone `public-api` ECONNRESET under
local parallel load, green in isolation — the documented local flake);
branding suite 12 tests against a real directory; crop arithmetic unit
tests; a11y pack 11/11 in both schemes; /admin measured at 320px with the
new section (overflow 0); and the whole flow walked in the browser: upload
→ crop 780×180 → stored as 512×118 → logo in the sidebar linking home with
the instance name as its accessible name → topbar wordmark following
`instance.name` → light logo still shown under `data-theme="dark"`.

# Audit event catalogue
**Catalogue version 1.7 (2026-08-01; 1.7 adds `branding.changed`,
issue #306; 1.6 added `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.
