Two asks, and the first is a real security decision so it is a SETTING that defaults to the safe answer rather than a code change somebody inherits. securesend_allow_guests, OFF by default. With it off the model is unchanged: a login plus tools.secrets. With it on, somebody with no account - at a shared bay terminal, a contractor - can create a link too. The cost is named in the setting's own description and pinned by a test: a guest secret has NO CREATOR, so the audit trail can say when and from where but never who. That is the whole reason it is a switch a person turns on deliberately. IT FAILS CLOSED. A missing row, a half-migrated site, an unhappy database - the answer is no. An error must never be the thing that opens an unauthenticated write endpoint. A SIGNED-IN USER STILL NEEDS THE PERMISSION even when guests are allowed, which is surprising enough that a test pins it: opening the door to guests is a decision about the door, not about revoking what a role holds. Guest creation is rate limited per address, same shape as the login limiter. Not a security boundary - a determined person has more addresses - but an open endpoint should not be an easy place to park data or fill a disk. VIEWS ARE NOW A NUMBER, 1 to 100, instead of a four-item dropdown. How many people need a password is the sender's business: a shift handover is not one colleague on a call. The floor is what matters, not the ceiling - unlimited views would just be a password on a web page. Also folded in, from the retention question: nothing removed a secret that EXPIRED WITHOUT BEING OPENED. The recipient goes on holiday, the link is never clicked, and the ciphertext sat there for good - not readable, but it made "nothing lingers" untrue and grew the table in exactly the case where the feature failed. Any create now sweeps expired rows and a late click tidies its own, so it stays bounded without a scheduler an air-gapped site would never add. Two gates caught mistakes on the way: current_user is a LocalProxy and is never None, so `current_user is None` silently took the signed-in branch for a guest; and cache was imported straight from shopdb.extensions when it is already on the shopdb.api contract surface. 1836 tests green.
