Age: a Didit provider behind the vendor-neutral age interface. A person
verifies once (ID document, passive liveness, face match) and all their
linked IMVU accounts count as adult. Webhooks are checked against Didit's
signatures; only "over 18" is kept. A later answer replaces an earlier one
(an approval taken back is revoked). Checks are limited: one unfinished
check per person, 3 in 30 days, none once verified, and a monthly cap
(DIDIT_MONTHLY_LIMIT, default 30: Didit's free plan is $10 of credit a
month and a check costs $0.30). The Account page gets an Age Verification
card.
Registration: open or closed, an admin's setting in the console
(default from REGISTRATION). Closed: new accounts can only sign in until
a moderator approves them (or declines, deleting the account); the
website shows them a waiting page and the API treats them as signed out.

T5 products placed in ordinary IMVU rooms, kept per room instance
(room_decoration, migration 0006). GET /api/v1/decorations/:instance (and
?instances= for up to 20) gives what the viewer may see, with a hash;
PUT is for the room owner's T5DE person only, checks the products exist,
and tells every realtime session with a chat in that room ({"type":
"decor"}). Hosted rooms' IDs are refused.

Rooms made on the website (hosted_room, migration 0005), the REST routes in
docs/hosted-rooms.md, and the realtime room.* protocol: joining with the
capacity, adult and linked-account rules, seats, numbered messages with
forged senders dropped and a rate limit, closing. The Rooms page lists them,
with a form to make one and the owner's edit and close.

POST /api/v1/badges {imvuIds} (at most 200) answers the linked accounts whose
badge is on, of people who aren't banned, in one query. It uses the existing
per-account showBadge (off by default, set from the account page).

The realtime connection now carries the IMVU chats a client is in: the hub tells each proxy in a chat which
other T5DE users are there and what community products they wear (adult products only to adult accounts), on
joining and on every change. Rooms T5DE users enter are looked up on IMVU; those that are public, listed and
whose owner turned on "List my public rooms" appear on the new Rooms page, with the T5DE users in them who
show they're online. AP rooms are shown to adults only.

Age checks are recorded in one table (age_check) by provider, method and result, never with documents or
birth dates; one rule decides whether an IMVU account counts as adult (its person's check, or its own).
Providers implement a small interface (start, webhook or browser completion, re-check) and are chosen by
configuration, so phone wallets and Didit can be added, or swapped, as adapters. IMVU's answer per account
is re-checked when it expires (about daily). Existing links' results move into the new table.

The hub becomes a Bun monorepo: apps/api (Elysia, Better Auth for accounts, roles, bans, proxy device
sign-in and JWT keys; tagline linking, presence and the console as before), packages/db (Drizzle; Postgres in
production, PGlite in development and tests), and the Next.js website from apps/web. Self-hostable with
docker compose; the website deploys to Vercel-style hosts, the API to any that runs Bun or containers. The
first version, in Go, is removed.

People sign up on the website and link IMVU accounts by putting a code in the account's tagline, which the
hub reads from IMVU's public API (the most recent proof wins; link caps per person). IMVU's age verification
or Access Pass make an account adult. T5DE's proxy signs in with a device code and keeps a WebSocket open,
reporting the IMVU account in use and the community products it wears; /online shows those who opted in.
Moderators get a console: who's online, people, link caps, bans, roles, and the audit log. Tests run the
website and API against an embedded Postgres and a fake IMVU API.
