## Problem
`bun run build` failed whenever `REGISTRATION_ENABLED=false`.
`config/fortify.php` only added `Features::registration()` when the env
flag
was truthy, so with the flag off Fortify never registered the
`/register`
routes. Wayfinder only generates helpers for registered routes, so the
`register` / `register.store` helpers imported by
`resources/js/pages/auth/login.tsx`
and `resources/js/pages/auth/register.tsx` no longer resolved and the
build
broke. The build outcome depended on an env flag — not deterministic.
## Fix
Decouple *route registration* from *whether sign-ups are accepted*:
- **Always register** `Features::registration()` in
`config/fortify.php`, so the
`/register` routes (and their Wayfinder helpers) always exist and the
build is
deterministic regardless of the flag.
- Gate acceptance at **runtime** via a new
`config('auth.registration_enabled')`
value (mapped from `env('REGISTRATION_ENABLED', true)`), the single
source of truth.
- When registration is disabled:
- `GET /register` (Fortify register view) and `POST /register`
(`CreateNewUser`)
return **403**.
- Registration CTAs stay hidden via `canRegister` (login view + landing
page).
- Guests are redirected to `/login`
(`AuthEntryPointService::guestRedirectRoute`).
- With the flag enabled (the default), registration behaves exactly as
before.
## Tests
- Rewrote `tests/Feature/Auth/RegistrationDisabledTest.php` to the
runtime
mechanism: registration enabled by default, route helpers always
registered
regardless of the flag, `GET`/`POST /register` return 403 when disabled
(and no
user is created), and the landing/login CTAs hide.
- Updated the `DashboardTest` disabled-registration case to toggle
`config('auth.registration_enabled')` instead of filtering the Fortify
feature.
- Verified `bun run build` succeeds with `REGISTRATION_ENABLED=false`
and that the
`register` / `register.store` Wayfinder helpers are generated.
## Docs
- Updated `README.md` and `.env.example` to describe the 403 behavior
(routes stay
registered rather than being removed).
## What & why
The `HIDE_AUTH_BUTTONS` flag and its signed-link auth-override existed
only to gate registration/login behind a waitlist during the launch
period. That period is long over, so this removes the flag and the whole
waitlist apparatus. Registration and login are now always open, still
governed by `REGISTRATION_ENABLED` (Fortify's registration feature),
which is untouched.
## Removed
- **`HIDE_AUTH_BUTTONS`** config/env and
**`LandingAuthOverrideService`** — the signed-link override, override
cookie, and `?force=` bypass — plus its
`GenerateLandingAuthLinkCommand`.
- **Waitlist lead-capture + invitation apparatus**: `UserLeadController`
+ `waitlist.*`/`user-leads.*` routes, `StoreUserLeadRequest`, the
landing `WaitlistForm`, `waitlist/*` pages, waitlist/invitation mails,
invitation & re-invitation commands, the lead verification notification,
`LeadCohort`/`LeadCohortResolver`/`LeadPromoCodeAllocator`, and the
lead→Resend segment sync (scheduled tasks removed too).
- Frontend `hideAuthButtons`/`forcedRegistration` threading and the
`?force=` query on auth links (header, welcome, register, login).
- All tests for the removed features; `landing.hide_auth_buttons` config
stubs stripped from surviving tests.
## Kept on purpose (data preservation)
The `user_leads` **table, its migrations, and a lean `UserLead` model
are retained** — no destructive migration. Pre-launch contacts are not
lost, and new signups whose email matches a preserved lead still receive
that lead's promo code at Stripe checkout
(`SubscriptionController::resolveLeadPromotionCodeId`, unchanged).
## Testing
- Full non-Browser Pest suite green locally (**1948 passed**), plus
Pint, Prettier, ESLint.
- Browser QA (Playwright) on the running app: landing no longer shows
the waitlist form and renders the register/login CTAs; `/register`
renders the form (previously returned null when hidden); `/login` shows
the "Sign up" link pointing to `/register` with no `?force`. 16/16
functional checks passed; only pre-existing external-resource 404s in
console (gravatar `d=404`, `via.placeholder.com` seed images).

## What
Unifies keys that were repeated across the codebase into two PHP enums
as the single source of truth. Two independent commits:
### `refactor(banking)` — `BankingProvider` enum
- New `App\Enums\BankingProvider` (`indexacapital`, `binance`,
`bitpanda`, `coinbase`, `wise`, `enablebanking`).
- `BankingConnection`'s `provider` column is cast to the enum → magic
strings gone from the model, controllers (`match`), requests, jobs,
commands, factory and `where('provider', ...)`.
- Logic that was duplicated, now on the enum:
- `usesApiKey()` — API-key auth (everything except EnableBanking).
- `defaultAccountType()` — provider → account type (removes the
duplicated ternary in `CreatesAccountsFromPending` and
`AccountMappingController`).
### `refactor(i18n)` — `Locale` enum
- New `App\Enums\Locale` (`en`/`es`/`fr`).
- Unifies the `['en','es','fr']` list (validation in `SetLocale` and
`ProfileUpdateRequest` via `Rule::enum`) and the `Accept-Language`
detection (`Locale::detectFromHeader`), previously duplicated in
`SetLocale` and `CreateNewUser`.
## Interaction with Wise (PR #525)
Rebasing onto Wise surfaced two issues this PR fixes:
1. **`isWise()` was broken** once `provider` is cast (it compared `===
'wise'` against an enum → always `false`).
2. **Account type**: Wise uses an API key (✓ it gets the auth-failed
email) but is a **checking** account, not an investment one. Account
type now flows through `defaultAccountType()` (Wise/EnableBanking →
Checking; indexa/binance/bitpanda/coinbase → Investment).
## Behavior change (minor)
`CreateNewUser` now detects `fr` at registration (previously only
`es`/`en`), consistent with the existing French support.
## Out of scope
- Frontend (`['indexacapital','binance',...]`, `provider: string`):
syncing TS with the PHP enums would need typegen. It still receives the
string via `->value`.
- `TransactionSource::Wise/EnableBanking`: a separate enum (transaction
origin), not a duplicated check.
## Tests
- New: `tests/Unit/Enums/BankingProviderTest.php`,
`tests/Unit/Enums/LocaleTest.php`.
- `vendor/bin/pint --test` ✓ · Larastan ✓ · full suite (excluding
Browser) **1615/1616** ✓.
## Problem
Some users reported they couldn't register: they filled the form
correctly, pressed the button, saw a loading spinner, then got bounced
back to the registration page with **no error message**. Meanwhile 20-30
users register fine every day, and the issue wasn't reproducible by the
team.
## Root cause
The register form sends a **hidden, browser-auto-detected `timezone`**
field (`Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone`). The backend
validated it with Laravel's `timezone` rule:
```php
'timezone' => ['nullable', 'string', 'timezone'],
```
That rule rejects **legacy IANA aliases** that many browsers/OSes still
emit — e.g. `Asia/Calcutta`, `Asia/Saigon`, `Asia/Rangoon`,
`US/Pacific`. Proof on PHP 8.4:
```
in_array("Asia/Calcutta", DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers()) → false
```
When validation failed, Fortify redirected back with a `timezone` error
— but the form had **no error display** for timezone (every other field
has one). Result: spinner → silent bounce → no message → and the user
can't fix a hidden field anyway. The team couldn't reproduce because
their browsers send canonical zones that pass. Production tzdata may
reject even more zones.
## Fix
- Stop validating the auto-detected hidden field against the strict
timezone list.
- Add `normalizeTimezone()`: keep recognized zones (including BC aliases
via `DateTimeZone::ALL_WITH_BC`), drop anything unrecognized to `null`.
Registration can never be blocked by it again.
- Surface `errors.timezone` in the form as a safety net so a
hidden-field failure can never be silent in the future.
## Tests
- Legacy alias `Asia/Calcutta` → registers, stored as-is.
- Unrecognized zone → registers, stored `null`.
- All existing registration tests pass (13 passed).
## Summary
- add signed landing links that unlock auth buttons while
HIDE_AUTH_BUTTONS is enabled
- persist the unlock in a secure cookie so desktop and installed PWA
users can still sign up
- add artisan command to generate signed landing auth links and test
coverage for the flow
## Testing
- php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/LandingAuthOverrideTest.php
tests/Feature/Console/GenerateLandingAuthLinkCommandTest.php
tests/Feature/Auth/RegistrationTest.php
- php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/WelcomeBanksOrderingTest.php
tests/Feature/SubscriptionTest.php
- vendor/bin/pint --dirty --format agent
## Summary
- allow `/register?force=1` to bypass the hidden-auth redirect and
render the registration page
- preserve the `force=1` query on form submit so hidden signup still
works end-to-end
- enforce hidden-signup blocking in the Fortify user creation path and
cover the forced/unforced flows with tests
## Summary
- store browser-detected IANA timezones on users during registration and
share the value to the frontend
- silently backfill missing timezones for authenticated users without
overwriting existing saved values
- add focused feature coverage for registration, shared props, and the
timezone backfill endpoint
