Niklas Ye 774fdfcaa8 internal/api: unify human/service-account authz into one Caller type

CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 5m21s
ctxUser/ctxTeams (human) and ctxServiceAccount (+ a synthetic ctxTeams
entry, service account) used to be two parallel, un-unified context
representations -- every authz predicate had to remember which one(s) it
needed, and every place that forgot either wrongly 403'd a service account
(terdut-server#23, terdut-operator#3), crashed on an unchecked zero-value
user id, or silently no-op'd. New internal/api/caller.go collapses both
into one Caller, stored under one ctxCaller key by serveAs/serveAsServiceAccount;
every existing predicate (userFromContext, callerTeamIDs, callerRole,
callerIsAdmin, isInstanceServiceAccount, AdminOnly, requireSelfOrAdmin,
requireTeamOwner, OperatorModeBlock) now reads through it, with identical
behavior for every untouched call site (alerts.go, incidents.go,
schedule.go, stats.go, etc.) -- confirmed by the full existing suite
passing unchanged.

Four real fixes land alongside the refactor, not just the restructuring:

1. callerMayManageServiceAccount gains the one load-bearing branch this
   exists for: an instance-scoped service account may now manage (mint or
   revoke a key on) any team-scoped account, not only a human admin, that
   team's human owner, or the account itself. handleCreateServiceAccount
   already let an instance-scoped caller *create* a team-scoped account for
   any team; adopting or rotating one it didn't just create in the same
   call -- terdut-operator's own documented crash-window recovery -- had no
   equivalent permission and 403'd forever. Closes terdut-operator#3.

2. handleCreateInvite wrote a service-account caller's zero-value user id
   straight into invites.created_by (nullable, but never passed as nil),
   which foreign-key-violates against users(id) -- a 500, not success, for
   any team-scoped service account minting an invite. Fixed the same way
   handleCreateServiceAccount already handles the analogous case. Found
   live while verifying this change, not filed separately since it's fixed
   in the same place it was found.

3. handleMe and handleTestNotification 500'd for a service-account caller
   (fetchUser/the ntfy_topic lookup against a zero-value user id that
   matches no row); handleDismissOnboarding silently no-op'd (UPDATE ...
   WHERE id = 0). All three now call Caller.AsHuman() and return an
   explicit 403 ("this endpoint is for human accounts only").

4. Ratifies, rather than further narrows, two capabilities a team-scoped
   service account already had by construction and this document's own
   text once called "a gap acknowledged rather than closed": owner-equivalent
   reach over membership/invites, and minting another service account for
   its own team. terdut-operator's new TerdutTeam invite-minting feature is
   about to depend on the first one, so this makes it documented, tested,
   intentional behavior instead of an accident nobody was supposed to rely
   on.

AdminOnly/requireSelfOrAdmin are unchanged in effect: still human-only,
forever, for every scope of service account -- confirmed by
TestAdminOnly_RefusesEveryServiceAccountScope. terdut-server#23's named
routes (POST /api/users, PUT /api/admin/settings) were never the right
thing to widen; its real fix is the terdut-operator invite feature,
recorded in SERVICE-ACCOUNTS.md's "What this unblocks" and closing that
issue once it ships.

SERVICE-ACCOUNTS.md amended in place (not a new file, its own established
convention) to describe the as-built Caller model, correct its own
aspirational claim about AdminOnly that TEAM-LOOKUP.md had already flagged
as not matching shipped code, and record all of the above.

Niklas Ye b39aac36b7 Add the sign-up page and the first-run checklist
CI / chart (pull_request) Successful in 1s
CI / security (pull_request) Successful in 13s
CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 2m28s
Second half of #7. The API could create accounts from invite links since
the last change; this is the part somebody can actually use.

/signup is the one route that works without a session. It asks the server
what it may offer before showing anything: an invite link that is good
names the team it leads to, a link that is not says so before somebody
picks a password rather than after, and an invite-only server with no
link says that instead of presenting a form it will refuse. The login
card only offers "create one" when sign-up is open, so the door nobody
can walk through is not advertised.

Signing up signs you in and lands on the queue, because the alternative
is a form saying "now go and log in" about the credential just chosen.

The checklist is the other half. Four things have to be true before an
alert reaches a phone -- a notification topic, somebody on the rota, an
alert source, and an alert that has actually arrived -- and on a fresh
install none of them are. It sits above the queue until they are.

It is computed from the data rather than from stored progress: a topic is
set or it is not, an integration exists or it does not. That means it
cannot claim a step is done when it is not, and it comes back by itself
if somebody deletes their integration a month later. The only stored
state is the dismissal, which is per user and not per browser --
finishing on a laptop should not leave the phone nagging.

The topic step is the only one the checklist can finish itself, and the
only proof that counts is a phone buzzing, so there is a test push.
POST /api/me/notify/test publishes directly rather than through the
outbox, which requires an incident this deliberately does not have. Its
failure is the useful part: a wrong topic, a rejected token and an ntfy
that is down all look identical from the phone, which is silence, so the
error comes back to the browser instead.

Verified against a live server with a real ntfy stand-in, the whole path:
an owner mints an invite, the sign-up page reports it valid and names the
team, the invitee signs up and is signed in as a member of that team, the
checklist's four questions answer correctly on a fresh install, a test
push is refused with no topic and delivered with one -- "PAGED
terdut-owner | terdut test" -- and the dismissal survives a reload.

Niklas Ye d827ceedff Add self-service sign-up and invite links

CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 2m30s
First half of #7. Until now the only way to get an account was for
somebody who already had one to create it, and the login page told people
to "ask an admin" -- workable for one operator, impossible for a team.

Two modes, chosen by an administrator in the settings table: invite_only,
which is the default, and open. A third domain-restricted mode was
considered and dropped, because with no email in this server there is
nothing to verify an address against and it would only check the domain
of a string somebody typed.

The default is the closed door. An install that gets a public hostname
before anybody has thought about sign-up should not be collecting
accounts from the internet, and the failure mode of a typo in the setting
is invite_only rather than open.

An invite is a link, not an email. Adding SMTP to send one message would
be a subsystem to run, secure and monitor; the person inviting sends the
link however they already talk to the person they are inviting. A link
carries the team and the role, because an account in no team sees an
empty queue and can be paged by nobody -- that is not a state to invite
somebody into. Links are single-use by default, expire after seven days,
and can be revoked before that: a link that works forever is a credential
nobody remembers issuing, sitting in a chat log.

The uses counter is incremented inside the sign-up transaction and
guarded by `uses < max_uses`, so two people redeeming the last use at
once cannot both get in.

GET /api/signup reports the mode and whether a link is usable, so the
form can say "this link has expired" before somebody picks a password
rather than after. It gives one answer for expired, revoked, used up and
never existed: telling a stranger which it was tells them something about
links they do not hold.

Sign-up signs you in. The alternative is a form that says "now go and log
in", which is the same credential typed twice. login and signup now share
startSession rather than each minting a cookie.

Rate-limited per address on its own limiter, not login's: a burst of
sign-ups must not lock somebody out of logging in.

The settings table grew a second shape for this. It held only durations;
signup_mode is a word from a fixed list, so the admin endpoint now
validates everything before writing anything -- a request that sets two
settings and gets one wrong changes neither.

Still to come in #7: the sign-up and invite-redemption pages, the
first-run checklist, and the in-app integration instructions. The schema
carries onboarding_dismissed_at for the checklist already.
