 - `License.DoFetchAsync` (`License.cs:629-661`) rethrows at `x == 3`, so the fifth server (Sockeye) is never tried, and it can return `null` to a caller that dereferences it
 - Stray `raven-client\ayanova\cypress.json`: the Cypress suite lives in `raven-test\e2e`
 - **Race, affects production after every restart:** `FormFieldReference.FormFieldReferenceList` (`biz/FormFieldReference.cs:57-59`) builds a static dictionary lazily with no lock, assigning it before filling it. A concurrent first request sees it half-built and throws `FormFieldReferenceList: <type> is not valid`. Seen twice on .NET 10, each time on the first form-field use after boot: `VendorCrud.CRUD`, then `FormCustom.FormCustomUpdate`. Fix: build the dictionary fully before publishing it (`Lazy<T>` or a static initialiser). Pre-existing, not a port change. John's decision: its own case, fixed with the other cases going into this release, not under the port
-- `raven-launcher` `Program.cs:98` calls `PGProcess.StandardInput.Close()` but standard input was never redirected, so it throws `InvalidOperationException` at shutdown: the "Postgres shut down" step never runs and the launcher exits with an error when the server stops. Postgres was started detached by `pg_ctl start`, so it probably stays running. Pre-existing; candidate for its own case. **Confirmed in the Sandbox test (8.2.4 and 8.3.0):** after "Shut down server" the launcher crashes with exactly this exception and 7 `postgres` processes stay running. Every standalone upgrade then stops at Setup's "files in use" page listing PostgreSQL Server, and "automatically close the applications" fails ("Setup was unable to automatically close all applications"): the customer must end the processes or restart Windows first. One-line fix (stop PostgreSQL with `pg_ctl stop` instead of writing to its standard input). Suggested for the "next release" cases (John to decide)
-- **Standalone install needs the Visual C++ runtime (pre-existing, same in 8.2.4; suggested for the "next release" cases, John to decide):** the bundled PostgreSQL (`local-postgres\bin\pg_ctl.exe`, `postgres.exe`) needs `VCRUNTIME140.dll`, which neither the installer nor `local-postgres` provides. A Windows without it (a new PC, Windows Sandbox) shows "pg_ctl.exe - System Error: VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found" and AyaNova never starts. Confirmed fix: copying `vcruntime140.dll`, `vcruntime140_1.dll` and `msvcp140.dll` (x64, 14.44) into `local-postgres\bin` made PostgreSQL start. Ship those three in `dist\win-x64\postgres-standalone\bin` (app-local, allowed by Microsoft's redistribution terms) rather than running `vc_redist.x64.exe` (it crashed Windows Sandbox mid-install)
-- Standalone `config.json` (launcher template) has no `AYANOVA_JWT_SECRET`, so every boot logs a warning and generates a random one (logins are lost on restart). Pre-existing; noted from the Sandbox test logs
-- Standalone and LAN installers share the same Inno Setup `AppId` (`{B2BB79DB-0690-497C-B92B-955F7B468429}`) although they are different products (`AyaNova` vs `AyaNova server`): installing one over the other would be treated as the same application. Pre-existing; not tested

+- Standalone and LAN installers share the same Inno Setup `AppId` (`{B2BB79DB-0690-497C-B92B-955F7B468429}`) although they are different products (`AyaNova` vs `AyaNova server`): installing one over the other would be treated as the same application. Pre-existing; not tested. Both also install to the same folder (`{autopf}\ayanova`) and use port 7575, so the two flavours could never sit side by side on one machine anyway; the shared `AppId` only changes what happens when one flavour is installed **over** the other (e.g. an evaluator moving from standalone to LAN on the same PC): Setup treats it as an upgrade of the same program. Changing either `AppId` now would make that flavour's next installer miss existing installs (second Add/Remove entry over the same folder). Standalone is thought to be used almost only for evaluation (John). Undecided (John, 2026-10-23); simplest option: leave the `AppId`s and tell users to uninstall one flavour before installing the other
 - Sockeye 8.1.0 has the NLog 6 archive naming problem fixed here for AyaNova: archives are `log-sockeye_NN.txt`, old `-0` to `-8` archives are never deleted, and its log viewer still sorts by name (it also filters on `ayanova.txt`, not `sockeye.txt`, so the current file is listed twice). Same fix applies: `ArchiveSuffixFormat = "-{0}"` and the date sort
 - **SuperUser can be deleted (serious, pre-existing, own case; John's decision 2026-10-23: fixed with the other "next release" cases before 8.3.0 ships, not under the port):** `UserBiz.ValidateCanDelete` (`biz/UserBiz.cs:1055`) only refuses a delete when the user has related records; nothing protects user id 1, although updates to it are blocked (`UserBiz.cs:946`). On the droplet, whose sample data left SuperUser with no related records, the integration test `UserWithActivityShouldNotBeDeleteable` (`DELETE User/1`) succeeded and removed the account; `AYANOVA_SET_SUPERUSER_PW` cannot bring it back (it only resets an existing user 1). Same code in 8.2.4; likely also why `superuser` could not log in on the reused local database at the first baseline attempt. Any user with delete rights on Users can do this
 - `RunProgram.Run` (and its `RunWindows`/`RunLinuxShell`/`RunOSX` helpers) has no callers since the backup moved to `RunNoShell`. It runs through `cmd.exe /C` or `/bin/sh -c` and logs its full command line on error: delete it rather than reuse it
