Validation: the dump validators refuse the nulls their shared types don't allow (a null title or note on creation, a null URL on edit); a playlist title of spaces is refused and titles are stored trimmed; usernames and emails are checked by the same USERNAME_RE and EMAIL_RE in shared/validation.ts on sign-up, on PATCH /api/users/me (which checked other limits) and in the sign-up form. Mentions are read by shared/mention.ts's mentionedUsernames, which skips code and URLs as Markdown shows them: https://mastodon.social/@bob or a `@bob` in code notified bob; the editor's suggestions derive their trigger from the same pattern instead of a copy. Following an unknown user is a 404 rather than a foreign-key 500, and following a private playlist a 404 rather than a 403 that confirmed it exists. `ws` and `emojibase` are reserved category slugs, since the server answers them before the app. GET /api/users/me no longer turns every error into a 500.
Dead code goes: adminOnlyMiddleware, verifyEmailTransport, listUsers, deleteUser with disconnectUser and the force_logout message only it sent, PATCH /api/notifications/:id/read (with markOneRead), isSlugAvailable, the unreachable 500 in fetchComment, and the `if (!ctx.state.user)` checks behind authMiddleware. 214 backend and 627 frontend tests pass.

Error statuses follow one rule: APIException takes a status and derives the code from it (BAD_REQUEST 400, UNAUTHORIZED 401, FORBIDDEN 403, NOT_FOUND 404, CONFLICT 409, RATE_LIMITED 429, SERVER_ERROR 500, BAD_GATEWAY 502), so a code can't contradict its status. That fixed real bugs: a wrong current password on change-password answered 401, on which authFetch signs the user out; editing or deleting someone else's comment or chat message answered 401 rather than 403; one invalid dump edit answered 422. A taken username is 409, like a taken email.
Along the way: the database is created from schema.sql by connection.ts when the file doesn't exist, so every task works on a fresh checkout (dev and serve never ran db/init.ts, which is gone); the startup purge compared ISO dates with SQLite's datetime() as text and kept anything from the current UTC day, and now compares ISO cutoffs; the seeded admin's hash comes from lib/password.ts (split out of jwt.ts, which needs the JWT secret) rather than a copy of its format; avatar, thumbnail and playlist-cover uploads go through replaceUploadedFile, which writes beside the old file and renames over it before the record announces it (a failed avatar write lost the old avatar; a thumbnail was announced before it existed); upload.ts derives its size message from MAX_IMAGE_SIZE_BYTES and stops re-exporting the upload folders; ALLOWED_IMAGE_MIMES, which duplicated detectImageMime, is gone; the SPA fallback no longer calls next() after answering; a reply must answer a comment on the same dump (a foreign or unknown parent was a 500 or a cross-dump thread). 211 backend and 628 frontend tests pass.
