The three sites that refuse to create or rename an operator onto a
customer's email (Admin\Settings::saveAccount(), ::inviteStaff(), and
clupilot:create-operator) all checked Customer::where('email', ...) as
a proxy for "does this address already have a portal login". A users
row with no matching customers row — an email changed on one side
only, or legacy/orphaned data — passed straight through: this dev
database already had one.
Extracted the three copies into Customer::emailTaken(), which checks
both tables directly, so the three sites cannot drift from each other
again.
install.sh sets up a bare Debian/Ubuntu server end to end: Docker, git,
WireGuard, clone, generated secrets, stack, migrations, hub keypair, the Owner
account and a closed firewall. Re-runnable: it keeps an existing .env and never
regenerates the hub key, which would disconnect every onboarded host.
update.sh pulls and applies. Migrations run before the new containers take
traffic, the image is rebuilt only when its definition changed, and the queue
workers are restarted — they are long-running processes that otherwise keep the
old classes in memory, which cost us an hour during development.
clupilot:create-admin creates or promotes an Owner, so re-running the installer
fixes a lost role instead of failing on a taken address.
