The runtime signup lock lived only in memory, so an auth container restart reopened public registration on an instance whose operator had closed it during setup. The auth loader now reads DISABLE_SIGNUP from the mounted instance env file and re-applies the lock on boot. Instance and organization names are also validated server-side before they reach the env file: control characters are rejected and the lengths the wizard advertises are enforced, instead of trusting the browser.
If the role update failed after sign-up, setup left an unprivileged account behind that blocked every later attempt with "already complete". The account is now deleted best-effort, and the response tells the operator to reach for promote-admin when it cannot be.
Re-running the installer over an install that predates SETUP_MODE, or one whose wizard already finished, defaulted the flag back to true and reopened /dashboard/setup with a fresh key. Only fresh installs default to true now; existing installs fall back to false.
Unchecking the signup lock now shows what it means: anyone who can reach the URL can register. The instance name hint also says the change takes effect once the services restart, rather than implying it retitles pages straight away.
The email guide still described the installer's bootstrap DEFAULT_OTP as the way into a fresh install. Self-host creates the first administrator at /dashboard/setup with a password; DEFAULT_OTP is a development helper that upgraded installs may still carry.

Concurrent completion requests can reuse the same valid setup key because status and key validation happen before user creation, while the key is consumed only after all later side effects. Two requests using different emails can both pass validation and be promoted, creating multiple super-admins despite the one-time first-administrator guarantee.
How this was verified: The public route permits concurrent requests, each role update precedes key truncation, and the user schema permits multiple super-admin rows with distinct emails.

If setup starts with a preserved DISABLE_SIGNUP=true, startup has already seeded the runtime registration lock. Choosing to leave public signups open skips both the runtime setter and the environment update, so registration remains closed immediately and after every restart despite the wizard choice.

Every non-OK status response, including a temporary 500, 502, or 503 while the auth service or database starts, is treated as proof that setup is not required. This result is cached indefinitely with retries disabled, so the setup page redirects to login and remains unavailable for the SPA session instead of recovering when the backend is ready.

Re-running the installer while an unfinished installation still has SETUP_MODE=true generates and overwrites the setup key instead of preserving it. This silently invalidates the previously printed credential and contradicts the installer message that the key is printed only once. Preserve the existing non-empty key unless an explicit override requests rotation.

Inline comments:
In `@apps/backend/auth/src/loader.ts`:
- Around line 27-28: Update the error path in loader so a read or parse failure
while restoring the env-file lock cannot leave registration enabled; when
DISABLE_SIGNUP is false and RELOOP_ENV_FILE indicates DISABLE_SIGNUP=true,
either propagate the failure or explicitly set DISABLE_SIGNUP before startup
continues, while preserving the existing log context.
In `@apps/backend/auth/src/routes/setup/setup.route.ts`:
- Around line 130-132: Update the setup completion route handler for
"/v1/setup/complete" to apply a shared rate limiter keyed by request source and
setup instance before invoking completeSetupController. When the limit is
exceeded, return HTTP 429 immediately and do not process the setup key; preserve
the existing successful completion flow.
In `@apps/frontend/dashboard/src/features/setup/setup-api.ts`:
- Around line 55-63: The fetchSetupStatus flow should return NOT_REQUIRED only
for HTTP 404 responses, while rejecting other HTTP failures and malformed 2xx
bodies so React Query preserves the error state. Update
useRedirectIfSetupRequired and related setup-page/route-guard navigation to
require a successful query with required: false, keeping setup resolution
blocked or retryable when the query is errored; preserve the existing required:
true behavior.
In `@apps/frontend/dashboard/src/features/setup/setup-form.tsx`:
- Line 202: Update the administrator setup-key input near the visible type
attribute from text to password so the key is masked while entered; preserve the
existing input behavior and add a reveal control only if the form already
requires users to inspect the value.
In `@apps/frontend/web/public/install.sh`:
- Around line 28-30: Remove the --admin-key argument parsing from the installer
flow around ADMIN_SETUP_KEY_OVERRIDE, and replace it with a protected-file,
standard-input, or hidden-input interface that avoids exposing the setup key in
process arguments or shell history. Update the installer’s documented usage and
ensure the replacement still supplies the key until first-admin setup consumes
it.
In `@packages/auth/src/setup/complete-setup.ts`:
- Around line 116-136: Update the setup completion flow around
createOwnedOrganization, setActiveOrganization, patchEnvFile, and
consumeAdminSetupKeyFile so failures after user promotion remain recoverable:
persist explicit resumable setup state or atomically roll back resources created
during the workflow, and ensure retries do not return already_complete solely
because the promoted user exists.
- Around line 85-90: Update the setup completion flow around getSetupStatus,
readAdminSetupKey, and adminSetupKeysEqual to atomically claim and consume the
setup authorization before creating or promoting an account. Ensure concurrent
requests cannot both validate the same key: the first claim proceeds, while
later claims are rejected, and add a synchronized concurrency test asserting
exactly one completion succeeds.
- Around line 127-132: Update the setup flow around setRuntimeDisableSignup and
deps.patchEnvFile so every setup choice is applied: pass input.disableSignup for
both true and false, and persist DISABLE_SIGNUP as the corresponding string
value instead of omitting it when false. Update the setup tests to assert
runtime and environment values for both choices.

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-636
Fail closed when env-file lock restoration fails.
When DISABLE_SIGNUP is false and RELOOP_ENV_FILE contains DISABLE_SIGNUP=true, a read or parse failure leaves the runtime lock unset. loader logs the error and continues, so public registration remains open. The standard Compose deployment also injects .env into the process, but deployments with separate process and mounted-file configuration remain exposed.
Propagate the error or explicitly disable registration before startup continues.

Broken Authentication
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-307 — Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts
Rate-limit setup-key attempts before setup completion.
The auth app mounts /v1/setup/complete without a repository-controlled limiter or proxy rule. Invalid attempts leave the setup key active, and setup has no expiry. Installers accept arbitrary custom keys. The default generated key is 40 alphanumeric characters, so this does not make default installations realistically brute-forceable. Weak custom keys remain susceptible for the full setup window.
Add a shared limiter keyed by source and setup instance. Return 429 before completeSetupController processes the key.

Preserve an error state for setup-status failures.
fetchSetupStatus currently caches non-404 HTTP responses and malformed 2xx bodies as required: false. With infinite cache time and no retries, these failures can keep setup disabled indefinitely. An explicit 404 is the intended successful required: false result.
A network rejection remains a React Query error, but useRedirectIfSetupRequired ignores isError. Because isFetched becomes true, login and signup render, SetupPage redirects to /login, and the protected layout redirects signed-out users to /login instead of keeping setup status unresolved.
Return NOT_REQUIRED only for status 404. Reject other HTTP failures and invalid 2xx bodies. Make setup-page and route-guard navigation require a successful query with required: false, and keep the setup check blocked or retryable while the query is in an error state.

Do not pass the administrator setup key in process arguments.
Both installers accept --admin-key=<value>, and the documented command places the setup key in the invoking shell command line. On hosts where local users can inspect process arguments, or where the invoking user's history is accessible, they can obtain the key while setup remains pending. The key authorizes creation of the first super-admin account and remains valid until setup consumes it.
Use a protected file, standard input, or hidden input instead. Document the replacement interface. The RELOOP_ADMIN_SETUP_KEY override does not remove the argument exposure from the documented workflow.

Authorization Bypass
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-367 — Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition
Consume the setup authorization atomically.
Two concurrent requests can both observe required: true and validate the same key before Line 136 consumes it. If the requests use different emails, both requests can create and promote a super-admin.
Use an atomic setup claim before account creation. Reject all later claims. Add a synchronized concurrent-completion test that asserts exactly one request succeeds.

Persist both signup-lock choices. disableSignup: false is reachable during setup. An existing DISABLE_SIGNUP=true is preserved by the installer, and startup can seed the in-memory lock to true. isRegistrationAllowed gives that runtime lock precedence, so the unchecked setup choice cannot reopen sign-ups when this branch performs no updates.
Call setRuntimeDisableSignup(input.disableSignup) and persist DISABLE_SIGNUP as "true" or "false". Update the setup test to assert both values.

Preserve the pending setup key on installer reruns.
When SETUP_MODE is true, write_admin_setup_key generates a new key and replaces admin-setup.key. Preserve an existing non-empty key for an existing installation. Generate a new key only when no key exists or when ADMIN_SETUP_KEY_OVERRIDE requests rotation.

If organization creation succeeds but assigning the active organization or updating the environment then fails, this rollback deletes only the new user. The owner membership is removed with the user, but the organization itself remains. Retrying setup therefore creates another organization with a suffixed slug instead of restoring the original state.

New Features
Bug Fixes
The PR is not yet safe to merge because setup remains vulnerable to concurrent key reuse, can disregard the requested open-signup policy, and now incompletely rolls back created organizations.
Findings
Summary
Adds a self-hosted first-run wizard that creates and signs in the initial super-admin, optionally creates an organization, configures signup policy and instance naming, consumes a one-time setup key, and updates installer and deployment documentation.
