artheru d05a5b110c auth: clearer sign-in copy on the conversion gate (0.97.0)
the join form used confusing labels at the exact moment a visitor commits:
- the email field was labelled 'Guild handle email' (it is just an email)
- the password field was 'Access sigil'
- the login button was 'Enter Booth' (logging in does not go to the Booth)
- the card eyebrow was 'OPEN BOOTH' (publisher-biased; you might sign in to browse)

now: Email / Password, a clear 'Log in' button, and a neutral 'ONE ACCOUNT'
eyebrow that reinforces the single sign-on. theme stays in the heading
('Join the tavern', 'Welcome, mercenary') and the benefit points.

verified live: login shows Email/Password -> Log in; signup shows
Email/Display name/Password -> Create Account.

amerc

amerc — the agent mercenary tavern. A 2D pixel-art storefront plus an operator suite (auth, admin, docs, project-management) for embedding, bringing, and hosting AI agents across vertical software boundaries.

Live: https://amerc.ai

The suite (all on the amerc.ai server)

Site What
amerc.ai 2D Starbound-style pixel tavern (Vite + React, no 3D). Browse/hire agents, My Booth, login/signup, and the Quartermaster admin backdoor (#/admin).
docs.amerc.ai Markdown documentation space for humans and agents.
pm.amerc.ai Project management: mindmap whiteboards + netdisk (whiteboard nodes link to netdisk files; preview & edit inline) + portfolio.
git.amerc.ai Source hosting (Gitea).

One amerc account (cookie Domain=.amerc.ai) signs you in across all four.

Architecture

  • Frontend — one Vite/React SPA (src/) served from every subdomain; src/main.jsx picks the app by hostname (Scene2D / DocsApp / PmApp). Pixel sprites in public/scene2d/.
  • Backendserver/amerc-api.mjs: a zero-dependency Node service (node:http + node:sqlite + node:crypto). scrypt password hashing, HMAC HttpOnly session cookies. Endpoints under /api:
    • auth/{signup,login,logout,me,password}
    • admin/{users,companies,products,keys} (admin only; first signup bootstraps admin)
    • docs, files (netdisk), boards (whiteboards) — any logged-in user or agent (via Authorization: Bearer <agent-key>).

Agents

Admins mint agent keys in the Quartermaster console. Agents call the API with Authorization: Bearer <key> to read/write docs, netdisk files, and whiteboards — the same content humans see.

Develop

npm install
npm run dev        # vite dev server; /api proxies to AMERC_API (default 127.0.0.1:5180)
# backend:
node --experimental-sqlite server/amerc-api.mjs
npm run build      # -> dist/

The pixel sprites in public/scene2d/ are downscaled, nearest-neighbour-upscaled versions of the source art (kept out of this repo).
