Owner decision 2026-10-16: the cans feature (bundles of pastes, #4) was
half-integrated and has zero prod usage; removing it eliminates four audit
findings by deletion.
Removed:
- internal/api/cans.go and all can routes (/api/pastes/can, /api/cans/*,
/can/{id}) plus handleCanPage/renderCan
- is_can from /api/mine and /api/public responses
- store layer: CanRow, can store funcs, paste_cans UNION in listings,
cans sweep; reserved slugs 'can'/'cans' released
- templates/can.html, can CSS, is_can badges in history.js/mine.js
- cans tests (cans_test.go, cans_flow_test.go, cans_expiry_test.go,
TestErrorCodeCanValidation)
- docs/api.md cans section, README/LICENSE/docker-compose mentions
Store migration: drops paste_cans only when empty (non-empty table is
kept and logged; prod verified clean 2026-10-16) and drops the dormant
pastes.can_id column. Covered by new TestMigrateDropsCansSchema.
Security hardening (audit findings): pw_<id> (unlock) and tok_<id>
(deletion-token) cookies now carry Secure: true in addition to
HttpOnly + SameSite=Lax; all deployments are HTTPS-only. cookie_set_test
now asserts Secure.
go vet ./... and go test ./... pass.
- Backend create/can validation paths emit machine-readable error codes
(slug_taken, slug_invalid, content_empty, content_too_large,
expiry_invalid, rate_limited, ...) alongside the human message
- new.html JS maps codes to plain-language guidance with generic fallback
- Result card colored via --ok/--err/--warn left border (result-ok/err/warn)
- docs/API.md error section documents the code field
- Tests assert the code on every validation path
