+# Directus Bootstrap
+
+Legt das Skrift-Datenmodell (Collections, Beziehungen, Rollen/Rechte, Seed) idempotent in einer laufenden Directus-Instanz an. Mehrfach ausführbar – Vorhandenes wird übersprungen.
+
+## Voraussetzungen
+- Directus läuft (siehe `../docker-compose.yml`) und ist erreichbar.
+- Node ≥ 18 (kein `npm install` nötig – nutzt nur Bordmittel).
+- Ein Admin-Zugang: entweder ein **statischer Admin-Token** oder Admin-E-Mail/Passwort.
+
+## Ausführen
+
+Mit Token (empfohlen – Token im Directus-Admin unter dem Admin-Nutzer erzeugen):
+
+```bash
+DIRECTUS_URL=https://admin.skrift.de \
+DIRECTUS_TOKEN=<admin-static-token> \
+node bootstrap.mjs
+```
+
+Alternativ mit Login:
+
+```bash
+DIRECTUS_URL=https://admin.skrift.de \
+ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@skrift.de \
+ADMIN_PASSWORD=... \
+node bootstrap.mjs
+```
+
+Nur Schema + Seed, ohne Rollen/Rechte (zum stufenweisen Testen):
+
+```bash
+SKIP_PERMISSIONS=1 DIRECTUS_URL=... DIRECTUS_TOKEN=... node bootstrap.mjs
+```
+
+## Was es anlegt
+- **Collections:** customers, products, formats, motifs, price_items, pricing_settings,
+  vouchers, voucher_redemptions, orders, order_entries, order_addons, jobs, status_history.
+- **Rollen/Policies:** Staff (volle Verwaltung), Customer (nur Eigenes + Katalog lesen),
+  Public (aktive Kataloge lesen), Service (Backend/Produktion: lesen + Status schreiben).
+- **Seed:** Produkte (inkl. Kontakt-Produkte), Formate, `price_items` mit den
+  Konfigurator-Preisen, `pricing_settings` inkl. Zeichen-Whitelist (1:1 aus job-manager).
+
+## Nach dem Lauf – manuell
+- **Service-Token:** Nutzer in Rolle *Service* anlegen, statischen Token erzeugen und in
+  die `.env` von skrift-backend und skrift-produktion eintragen.
+- **Preise prüfen:** `price_items` mit Preis `0` (Schreib-/Gestaltungsservice, Motiv-Upload)
+  und die Produkt-Basispreise im Admin auf die echten Werte setzen.
+- **Preisformel:** `pricing_settings.formula` ist ein Platzhalter – hier die reale Formel hinterlegen.
+
+> Hinweis: Das Skript zielt auf Directus 11 (Policy-Rechtemodell) und wurde nicht gegen
+> eine Live-Instanz getestet. Falls beim Lauf ein Schritt fehlschlägt, die Konsolenausgabe
+> schicken – dann wird die betroffene Stelle gezielt korrigiert.

+/**
+ * Skrift – Passwortloser Login per E-Mail-Code
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Directus kennt ab Werk nur Passwort/SSO. Diese Endpoint-Extension ergänzt den
+ * Kunden-Login per Einmalcode:
+ *
+ *   POST /skrift-auth/request-code   { email }              → Code per Mail
+ *   POST /skrift-auth/verify-code    { email, code }        → Tokens
+ *   POST /skrift-auth/register       { email, ... }         → Konto anlegen + Code
+ *
+ * Sicherheitsprinzipien:
+ *  - `request-code` antwortet IMMER generisch (verrät nicht, ob es das Konto gibt).
+ *  - Codes werden nur als Hash gespeichert (SHA-256 + SECRET als Pepper).
+ *  - Ablauf nach 10 Minuten, max. 5 Fehlversuche, 60 s Wiederhol-Sperre.
+ *
+ * Token-Ausstellung: Der Code-Login setzt für den Nutzer ein frisches Zufalls-
+ * passwort und meldet ihn damit über Directus' offiziellen AuthenticationService
+ * an. So sind Session/Refresh-Handling garantiert korrekt (statt selbstgebauter
+ * JWTs) – das Passwort kennt niemand und rotiert bei jedem Login.
