The console could show them and not touch them, so a moved office or a new contact person meant impersonating the customer or editing the database by hand. Both are worse than a form. R20: a modal, opened from the Stammdaten tab, authorising again and reading the record itself rather than trusting anything the browser hydrated. Most of the work is in what saving must NOT quietly do. The customer type is never reset to "nobody asked". The field opens on "leave unchanged" precisely so that saving an address correction cannot undo it — that answer decides whether a withdrawal right exists, and losing it silently would be the expensive kind of quiet. A changed VAT number is unverified from the moment it is stored — the verification is bound to the value, so that happens by itself — but `vat_id_verified_value` is left alone: it is the record of what WAS checked, and clearing it would destroy the evidence rather than the claim. The address is also the sign-in address and the key inbound mail is matched by, so changing it moves the linked portal login in the same transaction and puts it back to unverified, which is what Laravel's own profile update does for the same reason: nobody has shown they can read the new address. No mail is sent from here — the portal asks for the confirmation at the next sign-in, and a mail an operator did not knowingly send is a surprise. Three addresses are refused: one belonging to an operator (R21 — no index spans the two tables, so it is checked), one belonging to another customer, and one belonging to somebody else's user row, which can outlive or predate a matching customer. Not offered here, each for its own reason: `status`, because suspending has consequences for access and a lifecycle switch hidden among address fields is one somebody flips by accident; `stripe_customer_id`, because a wrong one does not move a contract, it points our records at somebody else's payments; the brand fields, because the customer sets those for themselves and an operator overwriting a logo is not a correction. There is a test that fails if any of them appears — with the comments stripped first, since the class documents at length why they are absent and that documentation is not the offence. This repository has fallen into that trap three times. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Show the customer, and write the answers once

Two complaints, one cause: the customer page was a compose box with three
lists under it. It showed nothing ABOUT the customer, and every answer was
typed from scratch.
The page is five tabs now. Stammdaten — contact, phone, since when,
language, and the tax standing: consumer or business, with "nobody asked"
saying so rather than passing for business, because that answer decides
whether a withdrawal right exists at all. Paket — the contract's own
FROZEN figures, the modules at the price they were booked at, and the
machine: address, state, host, datacenter. Zahlungen — invoices with net,
gross and their PDF, and the orders beside them, because an order is a
purchase and an invoice is a document about one. Nachrichten — the portal
requests in the customer's own words, the mail they sent, the mail we
sent. Schreiben — last, because it is what you do after reading.
The tab is in the query string, like Settings and Integrations: a reload,
a bookmark and the back button all land where the operator was, and a link
can point at the tab that matters.
And templates, under Betrieb → E-Mail-Vorlagen. Most customer questions
are the same five questions, and typing the answer again every time is how
two customers get told two different things about one subject. A template
is INSERTED into the compose field with the customer's own details filled
in — never sent as it stands, because the last two sentences always belong
to the person asking. What goes out is what the operator saw and edited.
Three decisions worth naming. {{contact}} takes the contact person where
one is on record and the company name otherwise, because "Guten Tag
Beispiel GmbH" is the line that gives away a mail written by a database.
{{amount}} is the gross figure — what the price sheet quoted them and what
their bank statement says. And a typo comes out as {{kunde}}, standing
there in the field where the operator sees it, rather than as an empty
string that produces "Guten Tag ,". A placeholder with no value for this
customer stays empty; nothing is invented.
Placeholders are named in English because they are identifiers, not prose:
a template has to survive somebody switching the console's language. The
list the page documents is the renderer's own, so a token added in one
place appears in the other without being written down twice.
Blade's echo tag ends at the first }} it finds, which turned a literal
placeholder in the documentation into compiled nonsense. Assembled in PHP
now, and caught by the test that renders the page rather than by somebody
opening it.

Keep a register of what was sent, and answer the customer from here
Three complaints, one shape: the console knew things and could not act on them, so the work happened somewhere else and left no trace. The header said "4 Hinweis(e)" and led nowhere. Whoever read it had to know that the list was a card further down the same page, and then go looking for the host or the failed run by hand. The count is a link now, every notice carries the page that shows the thing it is about, and the plural is a word rather than a bracket. Nothing recorded what this installation had sent. "Hat der Kunde die Zugangsdaten je bekommen, und wann?" was answered on the mail server — a different machine, a different program, and nothing an operator can put in front of somebody who says nothing ever arrived. Every mail now writes a row: when, to whom, which mailable, and the customer it belongs to. Written from MessageSent, so a row means the transport accepted it; that is the strongest thing an application can honestly claim, and a column called "delivered" would be pretending otherwise. Verification and reset mails are left out on purpose — they go to unconfirmed addresses and anybody who can type into a form can send them, so recording them would hand the register to whoever wants to fill it. And the customer list was the end of the road. There is a page behind it now: what they bought, what they asked in their own words, what we sent them, and a box to write the next message. It goes out from the support mailbox and is recorded on the way — with its body, because an operator typed it and "what exactly did I write to them in March" is a question the mail server's log cannot answer either. Answering a request from here closes it, which is the reason to answer from here at all: answering from a mail client leaves it open for ever, because nothing tells it otherwise. Found on the way, by a test that sent a real mail rather than asserting it was queued: resources/views/mail/reset-password.blade.php was missing its closing </x-mail.layout>. The component's contents were never terminated, the layout's own @if ran off the end of the file, and the mail raised a Blade syntax error instead of rendering. Password reset has therefore never delivered a link since it was built. Closed, plus a test that renders it and one that counts opening against closing tags across every mail view. Reading INCOMING mail in the console is not in this: it needs the mailbox polled over IMAP, which is a credential and a dependency. Requests filed through the portal appear here in full; a customer who writes by mail instead still has to be read in the mail client. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
