Four templates, one layout. Two of them — the maintenance announcement and its
cancellation — still wore Laravel's markdown component, which brings its own
logo, its own button and its own footer: the product was sending mail that
looked like two different companies, one of which was the framework.
New: an order confirmation, sent when the payment lands rather than when
provisioning finishes. Those are minutes apart at best and can be much longer,
and somebody who has just been charged and heard nothing assumes the worst
about both the charge and the product. It deliberately promises no time for the
cloud itself — provisioning takes what it takes, CloudReady announces the end,
and a promised minute that slips is worse than no promise. Queued after the
transaction, never inside it, and never allowed to fail the webhook: Stripe
retries anything that is not a 2xx, and a retry would re-enter provisioning
over a mail server having a bad minute.
The finished-cloud mail now names what was actually built — address, plan,
storage, location — because somebody who ordered a fortnight ago is checking it
against what they bought, and that is a comparison rather than a sentence. Still
no credential in it.
Two tests earn their place. One holds every template on the shared layout, so a
new one written in a hurry cannot copy-paste its way back to the framework's.
The other proves the finished-cloud mail carries no password — asserted against
the data the mail is given and the HTML it renders, not against the template's
source, because the first version of that test tripped over the word in a
comment and would have passed a template that leaked the value through a
variable. It tested the prose, not the mail.

The banners sat outside the h-screen shell, so the page scrolled and the content
scrolled — two scrollbars whenever a maintenance window was active.
Maintenance notices are now a bell with a count in the header, next to the user
menu that was otherwise the only thing up there. Impersonation stays visible as
a header chip rather than moving into the dropdown: it is a mode, not a notice,
and acting as someone else without noticing is how mistakes happen.
Also: the VPN status pill wrapped onto two lines in a narrow column.

The action labels wrapped to two lines and crushed the column — now icon
buttons with tooltips, like every other admin table. The form column was too
narrow for its content: the datetime fields silently clipped their own value,
so they are stacked and full width now, with duration chips because typing an
end timestamp by hand is the fiddliest part of the form. Host rows show a real
selected state and a per-datacenter count, and the impact column says
"1 Host · 1 Kunde" instead of "Host(s) · Kunde(n)".

- ResolvesCustomer trait replaces 5 duplicated customer() lookups; portal actions
now SAY why nothing happened (operator accounts have no Customer) instead of
returning silently — the actual cause of 'dead buttons', '0/0 seats' and
'settings not saving' when signed in as admin
- portal layout: explicit notice for a login without a linked customer
- /cloud: per-instance maintenance badge + window details; seat note 'owner = seat 1'
- maintenance form: sectioned card, hints, placeholder, styled datetime fields,
grouped host picker with per-datacenter select-all + selection counter
