Three things the owner reported, and one sentence that promised something
this product does not do.
**The mails had a fixed width.** components/mail/layout.blade.php set
width="600" and width:600px, so every phone showed a 600px canvas in a
390px window and one had to scroll sideways to read a sentence. Now the
table is width="100%" with max-width:600px — fluid, with 600 as a ceiling
rather than a floor. A mail cannot fix this with a media query (Outlook
renders with Word and drops <style> blocks), which is why the whole file
is inline attributes and why the shrinking has to be built in. Side
padding went 40px -> 24px in the layout and in all nine mail views:
40 each side leaves 278px of a 390px screen to read in.
**There was no way to look at a mail.** An invoice mail needs an invoice,
a maintenance announcement needs a window, and "register an account to
see whether the confirmation reads well" is not a workflow — which is how
the fixed width survived for months. App\Services\Mail\MailPreviews
builds all nine from sample data, every record with make() and never
create(), so a preview leaves no invoice, order or window behind and
draws no number from a series. Two ways to see one: in a tab as the
document itself, or sent to the signed-in operator's own address. There
is no recipient field — that would be a form for mailing strangers.
sendNow(), not send(): every mailable here implements ShouldQueue, and
send() defers to the queue for those, which would have put a failure in a
worker's log while the button reported success to somebody waiting for
the mail. The test caught that.
**The booking page had no shell.** Order declared layouts.portal — the
bare shell the sign-in pages use, no navigation and no padding — so the
page sat flush against the top and bottom of the window with no way back
to anything. layouts.portal-app, like every other portal page.
**The consent box said something untrue.** Its refusal read "otherwise we
can only build your cloud once the withdrawal period has ended", which
describes a path that does not exist: nothing here delivers fourteen days
later, and an unticked box simply means no order. Said plainly now, and
said on the page before somebody runs into the refusal.
Also: GrantedPlanPortalTest asserted assertDontSee('179'), which matches
any id containing those digits — and ids climb through a suite run
because a rolled-back transaction does not reset an auto-increment
counter. It passed alone and failed in company. Asserts on '179,00' now,
which is what a leaked price would actually look like.

Registration opened an account that could sign in immediately on an address
nobody had proved was theirs — and anybody can type a stranger's into a
registration form. Both halves were commented out: the Fortify feature and
MustVerifyEmail on the model.
`verified` sits on the whole portal group rather than on the pages that spend
money. An unconfirmed address is not a billing problem to be caught at
checkout; it is an account that may not belong to the person holding it, and
the servers, the users and the backups behind it are worth as much to whoever
typed the address as to whoever owns it.
The mail is a Mailable in this product's design rather than Laravel's
notification, which would arrive with the framework's logo, button and footer
as the first thing anybody ever receives from CluPilot. It also has to leave
through the SYSTEM mailbox like every other account mail, which the
notification path does not do on its own.
The link is signed and expires, and the address is part of what is signed — so
a link issued to a mistyped address stops working the moment the address is
corrected, rather than confirming an address nobody can read. Tests cover the
tampered link, the expired one, the corrected address, and one account trying
to confirm another.
The waiting page is ours (Fortify has views off) and offers the only two things
that move somebody forward: send it again, or sign out and register with the
address they meant. The resend is throttled, because otherwise it is a button
that makes the server send mail to an arbitrary address as fast as it can be
clicked. Somebody already confirmed is redirected away from it — the `verified`
middleware only guards the other direction.
