 ## Open
 
+- BUG/API: `pytest tests/` deletes every user on teardown (`tests/conftest.py`), so running
+  it against the development database logs you out of the running app. Point tests at their
+  own database, or reseed with `init_db` afterwards.
+- CHORE/FLOW: the InfluxDB token committed in the old `flow/nodes/influx_test.py` is in
+  pushed history (`d222ce5`). Rotate it in InfluxDB; removing it from history needs a
+  rewrite of published commits.
 - BUG/UI: six template Playwright specs fail on validation copy that no longer matches
   (`login`, `sign-up`, `reset-password`, `user-settings` theme persistence). Unrelated to
   the flow editor, which passes; fix or delete them with the `Item` cleanup.
