What
Feature request "Multiple Account Linking for Staff, or Admin Wardrobe" (Wren): staff who play admin characters on a second Minecraft account can't use the website wardrobe for it, because every /token code needs a Discord link and one Discord account links one Minecraft account. Their birdmail heads show Steve for the same reason.
Staff (site role mod or above) whose own Minecraft account is linked can now add up to 3 staff alts on Profile → Accounts: log in to the alt, run /linkdiscord, paste the code under Staff alts. Only someone who can log in to the alt gets that code.
New table staff_alt_links; discord_links stays one to one, so moderation, Patreon, nickname sync and notifications are untouched.
While the owner's Discord link stands and the owner is staff, the alt reads as linked through the owner (/skins/discord/status, link_method: staff_alt): it passes the Discord gate and can mint /token codes for Profile, the Wardrobe, skins and drinks. When either stops, the alt reads unlinked but keeps its row.
A staff alt can't be linked as anyone's own account until the owner (Profile) or an admin who outranks the owner (staff player page) removes it. Links and removals are audited.
Bans: a ban reported for the owner is copied to their alts (player_bans.copied_from) with the owner's times, so ban sync applies it on every syncing server. A copy never replaces an alt's own active ban or re-bans an alt staff pardoned since; an alt whose own ban runs out while the owner's holds gets the copy with the owner's next report. The owner's unban lifts only the copies. Alt bans don't message the owner's Discord.
v1 is codes only: no Discord-sign-in account switcher.
No plugin change: the existing /linkdiscord and /token work as they are.
Docs: docs/docs/identity/tfmcweb.md#staff-alts.

…d code
Staff whose own Minecraft account is linked can add up to three alts on
Profile > Accounts by pasting a /linkdiscord code from each alt. An alt
counts as linked through its owner's Discord link while the owner is staff,
so it passes the Discord gate and can mint /token codes for Profile and
the Wardrobe. Owner bans are copied to the alts so ban sync applies them.
Admins can remove any alt link from the player page.

…view fixes
Copied bans are marked with copied_from, so the owner's unban lifts only
the copies, even after the alt link is gone, and a copy never replaces a
ban staff gave the alt or re-bans an alt unbanned since. Ban events for an
alt no longer carry the owner's Discord id. Admin removal checks rank and
audits refusals; the staff player page opens for an alt never seen in game.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…iew nits
A copy lifted by the owner's unban keeps copied_from, so the owner's next
ban is copied again even when its report arrives late. An owner ban now
replaces an alt's own shorter ban. The alt's ban row is read under its
lock. Account and staff pages explain paused alts by role and refresh
after a removal made elsewhere.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Staff can link up to three additional Minecraft accounts to their Discord account, and manage those links from account settings.
Player profiles show staff-alt relationships, with authorised admins able to remove links.
Bans on a staff account are reflected on its linked alts; unlinking and ban status are handled accordingly.
Documentation
Added guidance on staff-alt eligibility, linking, removal and how account status and moderation relate to linked accounts.
Staff can link up to three Minecraft accounts as staff alts. The change adds API and account-page support, displays alt relationships in player tools, and propagates eligible owner bans and unbans to linked alts.

Adds the alt-link and copied-ban data fields. Staff can preview, link and remove up to three eligible accounts. Discord-link flows recognise active staff alts and prevent them from being linked as independent accounts.
Alt identity and account routes backend/src/api/auth_routes.py, backend/src/auth/players.py, backend/src/skins/staff_alts.py, backend/src/skins/discord_link.py, backend/src/auth/test_staff_alts.py
Adds staff-alt data to account and player responses. Adds preview, link and unlink routes, and resolves active alt identities through the owner’s Discord link.
Owner ban propagation backend/src/skins/moderation.py, backend/src/auth/test_staff_alts.py
Stores copied-ban ownership and propagates eligible owner bans and unbans to linked alts. Alt reports do not send moderation notices to the linked owner.
Account alt management frontend/lib/account/api.ts, frontend/app/components/account/LinkedAccounts.tsx, frontend/app/components/account/MinecraftLinkForm.tsx, frontend/app/components/profile/ProfilePanel.test.tsx
Adds account API types and operations, a staff-alts card, and staff-alt mode in the Minecraft link form. Tests cover adding, removing and paused alts.
Admin alt removal and player tools backend/src/api/admin_routes.py, backend/src/auth/roles.py, frontend/lib/admin/api.ts, frontend/app/components/admin/PlayerFrame.tsx, frontend/app/components/admin/PlayerFrame.test.tsx, backend/src/auth/test_staff_alts.py
Adds the manage_staff_alts capability and admin unlink route. Player tools display alt relationships and allow authorised removal after confirmation.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 8dab2
A staff member's alt can be banned again after its own ban expired while the owner's ban is still active, which contradicts the documented moderation behaviour. Fix the expiry comparison before merging. The staging checklist in the docs also still says "No alts" and should be updated to match the new feature.

An alt's own ban is never replaced by a copy, so the owner's unban can't
lift it early. Whether staff unbanned an alt since the owner's ban is
judged on the site's clock. The ban copy takes the owner's link lock so an
alt linked meanwhile is either copied or refused. Microsoft links of a
staff alt read as taken; admin route checks the UUID; docs match.

…ests
The account payload says whether the role is staff, so the page no longer
keeps its own list of staff roles. The staff player page names an alt never
seen in game by its linked name. Tests cover the admin removal from another
site and from a view, and the late-report test no longer depends on clock
resolution.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserve an independently issued alt ban before lifting a copy.
If an alt already has a copied permanent ban, _same_ban treats a later independent permanent ban report as a repeat and retains copied_from. The same misclassification can occur for expiry times within its ten-minute window. This query then selects that alt, and the owner's unban lifts the independent ban. Distinguish a server echo from a new alt ban before retaining the copy marker; expiry alone cannot establish the ban's origin.

- Around line 310-314: Update the repeat-ban guard around held and own_ban so an
alt’s independent ban expiring during the current owner ban does not trigger
another copy on a repeat report. Use since or existing state to distinguish the
current owner ban from a new owner ban; leave the alt unbanned until a new owner
ban occurs, while preserving the existing handling of active alt bans and
unbans.
Review comments at @docs/docs/identity/tfmcweb.md:
- Line 22: Update the success criterion near the staff-alt guidance in
tfmcweb.md that currently requires “No alts” so staging reviewers assess the
permitted staff-alt behaviour consistently with the linking instructions and the
one-Discord-to-one-Minecraft-UUID rule.

… copy stay
An unban that came as the alt's own ban ran out is not a pardon, so the
owner's next report (repeat or new) copies the ban whether or not a server
reported the lapse. A report over a copy that gives another reason is the
alt's own ban, so the owner's unban no longer lifts it. Success criteria in
the identity docs now describe staff alts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A ban reported over a copy whose reason still starts "Staff alt of" is the
copy repeated, so a server trimming or cutting the text can't turn it into
an own ban the owner's unban wouldn't lift. Cut copy reasons lose trailing
spaces. Tests for no-reason and reworded echoes, own bans over a tempban
copy, and an early pardon of the alt's own ban; docs list the echo rules.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
On the unverified finding in the review body (moderation.py 279-287, an independent alt ban over a copy kept copied_from and was lifted by the owner's unban): fixed in 4ea3e65 and 2c71bf2. A ban reported over a copy with a different reason is stored as the alt's own ban (clears copied_from), so the owner's unban no longer lifts it; a report with no reason, or still worded "Staff alt of …" (a server echoing the copy, possibly trimmed), stays a repeat. Tests: test_an_own_ban_over_a_copy_survives_the_owners_unban, test_an_own_ban_over_a_tempban_copy_survives_the_owners_unban, test_an_echo_of_a_copy_is_still_lifted_by_the_owners_unban.
