The migration path for a club arriving with a list of children from a federation export and no parent records. Children import without logins, each into a family of their own -- that shape *is* the "nobody is responsible for this child" state, so there's no unclaimed flag to drift out of step with reality, and a family drops off the worklist by itself the moment a parent joins it. `family_role=child` with a blank `family_group` asks for that; any other lone role is still a mistake in the file. Verification is a human decision, deliberately. A parent submits a public form with the child's name and date of birth as free text -- no search, no autocomplete, and the same response whether or not the child was found, because the page needs no login and anything that resolved the child would turn it into a way to enumerate the club's children. An admin matches it from a queue against a shortlist that only ever contains children with nobody on file, so approving can never quietly re-parent a child who already has one. The alternatives were worse. A claim code needs a delivery channel the club may not have and is a bearer token besides. Matching on name plus birthday hands out someone else's child to whoever guesses a birthday. The club is the only party that actually knows its own families. That form is also the registration: open self-registration is now closed (shadowing account_signup rather than removing the route, so the URL name allauth's templates reverse still resolves). The account is created on approval, not on submission, so a public form can't fill the user table. An approved parent lands as a guardian -- login and family link, no membership, no fee -- gets a password-reset link, and a minimal "my family" page. One bug worth recording: families_awaiting_a_parent first used annotate(Count(..., filter=...)) over a queryset already filtered on the same join, so Django reused that join for the counts and a parent with no ClubMembership of their own -- exactly what a newly linked guardian is -- went uncounted, leaving the family unclaimed forever. Exists subqueries avoid it. A test pins both directions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
