after_install renames admin to the generated ADMIN_USER in app.db, sets the password with cps.py -s, and proves both before its success line. Proven on 9202: 40 wrong tries on admin, the household still in at once (form and OPDS). Hungarian freeze re-captured for the five changed calibre-web strings only.

FIRST-ADMIN — how each app gets its first admin account (the audit behind 09 §3 decision 45)
The rule (operator, 2026-09-28): an app is never published with a login a stranger knows. The box publishes every
app on the household's domain (*.domain through the tunnel). Where the box can set the first admin password, it
generates one at install and shows it on the app page. Where it cannot, the app stays in the catalog, and the install
dialog and the app page say what the default login is and to change it at once.
Mechanisms (controller ≥ 0.279.0; the gate ≥ 0.280.0):
after_install:in.felhom.yml— one command in the app's own container after a FRESH install, with generated deploy values filled in;success:marker required. Never after a restore or a kept-data load. (internal/stacks/after_install.go)- The page's default-login rule —
app_info.default_credsis shown, with the sentence „Ez az alkalmazás egy ismert, közös jelszóval indul: %s. Telepítés után azonnal változtasd meg." / "This app starts with a known, shared password: %s. Change it right after the install.", while that login is in effect; hidden onceafter_installreplaced it. (internal/web/known_login.go) - The setup gate (
09§3 decision 46, controller ≥ 0.280.0) —setup_gate: true(+ optionalsetup_done_probe:): a fresh install of an open-first-run app is closed to everyone but the household until the app's own status says an admin exists, or the household presses „Kész, beállítottam". Spike and verdict:felhom.eu/documentation/audits/login-gate-2026-09-29/B/B-VERDICT.md(14 of 34 class-4 apps have a probe — 2 measured, 12 upstream; 20 need the button). It does not close OPEN SIGN-UP after the setup (R-711). - „Megváltoztattam" / "I changed it" (controller ≥ 0.280.0, R-710) — the household's word under a known default login.
Classes: 1 generated by us at install · 2 set by the household in our dialog · 3 a hard-coded default · 4 an open first-run screen (the first visitor creates the admin) · 5 no login by design · 6 unknown. Sources: M = measured on a box (named) · R = read in this catalog · U = upstream, read or remembered, NOT measured. Every U must be measured before a fix is built on it.
Status 2026-09-29 (afternoon): every class-3 app fixed (5); 32 of 34 class-4 apps gated (controller ≥ 0.281.0) — 9 open by the app's own status (probe measured before and after on 9202), the rest by the household's press, which asks the probe first where there is one. Open sign-up is closed by the box after the setup on 11 apps (decision 47); 11 more refuse a stranger by themselves. Not gated: wanderer (R-714, needs a design); plant-it is not installable. Not provable on 9202: the opening of seerr (media server), outline and rallly (e-mail).

Sign-up locks after the first admin (decision 47; controller ≥ 0.282.0) — measured on 9202, 2026-09-29 evening
Two locks per app where the app has its own switch: the app's own setting (set by after_setup when the gate opens) and
the address block (signup_block, case-insensitive). Tricks: each sign-up route tried in 8 shapes (as written, trailing
slash, UPPER, Mixed, last part UPPER, one letter percent-encoded, double slash, query string), through the public route.
Evidence: felhom.eu/documentation/audits/signup-lock-2026-09-29/.

The household's 15-minute window lifts both locks (the app restarts once) and the loop puts both back (measured on homebox). "Close sign-up now" (decision 49) is offered on an app installed before the rule — and on wanderer, which is not gated: the household makes its account, then presses it (measured on 9202).
Counts (computed from the table, 2026-09-29 afternoon): class 1: 8 · class 2: 1 · class 3: 5 · class 4: 34 · class 5: 5. Fixed: 5. Gated: 32 (3 of them without a proven opening). Not gated: 2 (wanderer — its sign-up is locked by the household's press instead, decision 48; plant-it — not installable). Fine: 14.
