## Age verification with Didit

A new provider (`apps/api/src/age/didit.ts`) behind the existing vendor-neutral age interface. A person verifies once with an ID document, a passive liveness check and a face match; after that, all their linked IMVU accounts count as adult. The hub keeps only "over 18": never the document, photo or birth date.

- Webhooks are checked against Didit's signatures (the raw body or V2, with `-Previous` during secret rotation), and old ones are rejected. If the webhook has no decision, the hub fetches it from Didit.
- A later answer replaces an earlier one. An approval that's taken back (say, after a manual review) becomes `revoked`. A check still in review stays pending.
- Limits, for every provider: one unfinished check per person (starting again resumes it), at most 3 checks in 30 days, none once verified, and a monthly cap (`DIDIT_MONTHLY_LIMIT`, default 30: since 2026-11-01, Didit's free plan is $10 of credit a month, and a check costs $0.30).
- People are only ever sent back to the hub's website.
- The Account page gets an Age Verification card.
- Configuration: `AGE_PROVIDERS=imvu,didit`, `DIDIT_API_KEY`, `DIDIT_WORKFLOW_ID`, `DIDIT_WEBHOOK_SECRET`. The webhook is `<API_URL>/api/v1/age/webhook/didit`.

## Closed registration

Registration is open or closed. It's an admin's setting in the console, with its default from `REGISTRATION`.

- When it's closed, new accounts can only sign in until a moderator approves them, or declines them (which deletes the account).
- The website shows people who are waiting a waiting page, and the API treats them as signed out everywhere but `/me`.
- The console gets a Waiting count, a Waiting for approval filter, Approve and Decline on a person's page, and a Registration setting.
- The migration adds `user.approved` (existing accounts stay approved) and `hub_setting`.

## Testing

- New tests cover Didit (with a fake Didit server), the limits, revocation, return addresses and registration.
- `bun run test`: 35 pass. `bun run check-types` passes.
- Checked locally: the account, waiting, sign-up and console pages render.
- Not run against Didit itself yet. The sandbox workflow "T5DE Age Check" is published, and the next step is a real webhook once this is on staging.

- Webhooks arrive at `/api/v1/age/webhook/<provider>` and each provider checks its own signature. The provider's

- **Limits** on checks of a person, for every provider: one unfinished check at a time (starting again gives the
same one), at most 3 started in 30 days, none once verified, and a provider's monthly cap (`monthlyLimit`; Didit's
`DIDIT_MONTHLY_LIMIT`, default 30), counted from the checks started this month (UTC).
- People are sent back only to the hub's website (`returnURL` is a path on it, or an address on `WEB_URL`).
- Enforced at three points: catalogs (adult files need an adult token), the hub (adult items left out of room
channels for viewers who aren't adult and opted in), and the viewer's proxy.
### Setting up Didit
In Didit's console (business.didit.me): an application; a KYC workflow with ID verification, passive liveness and
face match only (no IP analysis, AML or proof of address, which cost extra; no white label, $0.10 a session more);
an API key; and a webhook destination
`<API_URL>/api/v1/age/webhook/didit` with its secret. Then the API's environment: `AGE_PROVIDERS=imvu,didit`,
`DIDIT_API_KEY`, `DIDIT_WORKFLOW_ID`, `DIDIT_WEBHOOK_SECRET`. Use the sandbox application on staging.
### To add the planned providers
- Didit: an account, an API key and webhook secret, and a workflow set to ID document plus liveness, returning
only "over 18". Confirm its free monthly allowance covers age checks.
- Wallets: Google's Digital Credentials verifier registration (free), and an `age_over_18` request (OpenID4VP,
mdoc); Apple and the EU wallet through the same browser API where supported.
