+# 2026-08-25 anonymous production support verification and cleanup
+
+- One uniquely addressed anonymous `account_access` request was submitted to
+  the production public-support form. Before contact confirmation, the exact
+  record had status `pending_verification`, no verified-contact timestamp, and
+  was absent from the staff-search result. Production operator-email mode was
+  observed as disabled.
+- The matching confirmation message reached Gmail Inbox with the existing
+  `Projects/WhoNeedHelp` label. Its copy explicitly stated that the request had
+  not yet entered the support queue, and its action used the production
+  `whoneedhelp.com` origin directly.
+- The first confirmation-link visit changed the exact record to `open`, made it
+  visible to staff search, added the expected `pending_verification -> open`
+  history event, and produced one `support_request.contact_verified` audit
+  event. A second visit to the same link was idempotent: the record remained
+  open, the two status-history rows and single verification audit row were
+  unchanged, and no duplicate mail job appeared. No operator-alert job was
+  present while operator-email mode was disabled.
+- Cleanup was guarded by the exact request UUID and reference and ran in one
+  database transaction. It removed exactly one support request, two status
+  events, one audit event, and one completed
+  `WhoNeedHelp.Mail.SupportConfirmationWorker` job; there were no conversation
+  messages. Follow-up queries returned zero matching requests, messages,
+  status events, audit events, and jobs. The synthetic confirmation message was
+  moved to Gmail Trash, and the two browser tabs created by the check were
+  closed.
+- The frozen hackathon test deployment, shared Caddy, public Git remote, real
+  users, and unrelated production support records were not changed by this
+  controlled verification.
