Dropdown openers were visually indistinguishable from ordinary buttons. A
trailing chevron now marks every dropdown trigger — both the shared
dropdown_menu component and the bespoke member-filter trigger — and an
optional badge slot lets a trigger show a status indicator beside its label.
The compile-time Mix.env() comparison folded to an always-false literal under analysis. sql_sandbox?/0 reads runtime config (true only in test) and works in releases where Mix is unavailable, preserving the fast-fail-no-retry behavior in tests.
LiveSession.assign_new_resources/2 is typed to return a Phoenix.Socket, which made the on_mount redirect type-incompatible. The authenticated-routes live_session already assigns current_user, so the guard reads it from socket.assigns directly. Also assign the locale into the socket actually used by the no-user redirect instead of discarding it.
Date.from_iso8601/1 returns {:error, reason}, so the with else clause matching a bare :error never fired and an invalid date raised a WithClauseError. Match the real date/calendar error reasons so the user sees the validation message.
DateTime.from_iso8601/1 returns {:ok, datetime, offset}, so the two-tuple clauses never matched and datetime cells fell through to the naive-parse fallback. Matching the real shape routes them through the intended DateTime path; UTC values render identically.
File.read/1 only yields posix atoms, so the File.Error and bare-reason branches were unreachable, and :file.format_error/1 returns a charlist rather than a String. Normalize the error to a binary so it interpolates correctly in flash messages.
consume_and_read_csv/2 and MemberCSV.prepare/2 only ever return {:error, binary()}, so the non-binary error branch and the format_error_message/* helpers it called were unreachable. Removed them and bound the remaining discarded locale/dispatch results.
The nil-actor guard used a one-armed if and continued into the export path regardless. The CheckPagePermission plug already halts unauthenticated requests before this controller runs, so the corrected early return preserves observable behavior while removing the dead fall-through. The export action is split into per-payload clauses so the guard reads as a flat early return.
## Description of the implemented changes

- [x] New Feature
- [ ] Breaking Change
- [x] Refactoring
This PR standardizes interactive table behavior and improves settings robustness.
It makes the new hover/focus-visible row highlight the default for clickable tables, keeps sticky first-column behavior configurable (and optimized for member selection UX), and tightens SMTP source-of-truth handling so ENV-based and UI-based configuration do not conflict.
## What has been changed?
- Refactored `CoreComponents.table` to expose interaction state via `data-row-interactive` and moved default row hover/focus styling to CSS.
- Made the new row highlight behavior (`hover` + `:has(:focus-visible)`) the default for clickable zebra tables.
- Kept sticky-first-column as an explicit table option and preserved sticky-specific selection accent behavior.
- Updated member overview table usage to the sticky-first-column mode and refined scrolling behavior (table scrollbar within container, not page-coupled).
- Adjusted table-related tests to validate the new interaction contract (attribute/CSS-driven behavior instead of legacy ring classes).
- Improved SMTP config handling:
- clearer ENV-vs-Settings behavior (ENV-only mode when host env is set),
- read-only and warning behavior in global settings UI when required env keys are missing,
- updated related config/tests/docs.
- Updated docs and changelog (`CHANGELOG.md`, `DESIGN_GUIDELINES.md`, `CODE_GUIDELINES.md`, SMTP concept docs).
- Updated gettext catalogs (`default.pot`, `en`, `de`) for new/changed UI strings.
## Definition of Done
### Code Quality
- [x] No new technical depths
- [x] Linting passed
- [x] Documentation is added were needed
### Accessibility
- [x] New elements are properly defined with html-tags
- [x] Colour contrast follows WCAG criteria
- [x] Aria labels are added when needed
- [x] Everything is accessible by keyboard
- [x] Tab-Order is comprehensible
- [x] All interactive elements have a visible focus
### Testing
- [x] Tests for new code are written
- [x] All tests pass
- [ ] axe-core dev tools show no critical or major issues
## Additional Notes
- Branch includes 4 commits:
- `fix: make sure smtp can be set either via env or ui`
- `fix: make horizontal scrollbars sticky to bottom`
- `docs: update changelog`
- `feat: make checkbox column in member view sticky`
- Full fast suite passed (`mix test --exclude slow --exclude ui`): 2017 tests, 0 failures (plus expected non-failing warning logs in test output).
- Reviewer focus areas:
1. **Cross-table UX consistency** after moving row interaction styling to component/CSS contract.
2. **Sticky table behavior** (selection accent stripe, zebra background, keyboard focus visibility).
3. **SMTP precedence and UI constraints** in global settings when ENV mode is active.
4. **Regression risk in tests** that previously asserted ring-based row classes.
- No breaking API changes expected; behavior change is primarily visual/interaction-level and intentional.

This PR improves the join-request flow and presentation quality, fixes several data-display issues in join/join-request screens, and adds a usability improvement in global settings (directly opening the join link). It also includes dependency updates and changelog maintenance.
## What has been changed?
- Join form (`JoinLive`) now renders inputs based on actual field types (including checkbox/date/number/email behavior instead of generic text-only handling).
- Join form custom-field labels are resolved from configured custom fields (fallback remains safe if lookup fails).
- Join-request details page (`JoinRequestLive.Show`) now:
- resolves and shows custom field names instead of raw IDs,
- formats boolean-like values (`on/true/1`, `off/false/0`) as localized `Yes/No`,
- formats ISO date strings for better readability,
- keeps legacy field handling while improving output consistency.
- Join-request detail layout was improved semantically and visually (`dl/dt/dd` structure for label/value rows).
- Global settings page now includes an **Open** button for the join URL (`target="_blank"`, `rel="noopener noreferrer"`, ARIA label).
- Added/updated tests around:
- join field type rendering,
- custom field labels in join-request views,
- related auth/global-settings behavior.
- Updated translations (`default.pot`, `en`, `de`) for new UI strings.
- Updated dependencies/tooling (`mix.lock`, `mix.exs`, CI/renovate-related updates).
- Updated `CHANGELOG.md` entries for unreleased changes.

## Additional Notes
- Reviewer focus areas:
- `lib/mv_web/live/join_live.ex`: input type derivation and custom field lookup strategy (`authorize?: false` read path used intentionally for field metadata).
- `lib/mv_web/live/join_request_live/show.ex`: value-formatting logic (especially backward compatibility for legacy `form_data` payloads).
- `lib/mv_web/live/global_settings_live.ex`: external-link behavior and accessibility attributes.
- The branch also contains dependency update commits; please review lockfile and CI-related changes separately from functional join/join-request changes.
